The Iron Trade.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 14.-Inquiry among
men heavily interested in Lake Superior iron
mines shows the seasons contracts call for
1,650.0 tons of ore from that region. One
million four hundred and fifty thousand tons
will go to Lake Michigan ports, most of the bal
ance to Grand Island and vicinity. The Oleve-
land Rolling company has contracts for rails
and other manufactures which will require
many months to fill. Other extensive works
here are proportionately busy aud report they
will not be materially affected by the present
agitation of the iron market. The iron makers
and ore dealers here are looking for reaction in
the market and better prices, which they ex-
pect will soon be established on q natural and
healthy basis, where they will remain without
much fuctuation for one or two years.

River Freiohts and Transfers.

A rumor is current among st. Paul shippers
that there is hitch about the transfer of
freights at this point, from river to rail, and
rail to river, which may result in a contest, In
which the steamboatmen and those interested
in their having an equal chance may need the
help of public opinion in favor of free trade
and fair play. 1t appears that the steamboat
men, as heretofore, wish to deliver and re-
ceive their transfer freight on the
lower floor of the Hill warehouse, now owned
and occupied by the Chicago, Milwaukee d st.
Paul company because there only are the IA
cllities needed for transfers. The Milwaukee
company uses this floor for its outgoing freight
and. being short of warehouse room, claims it
cannot spare the room needed for river freight
transfers. Some of the other companies, it is
understood, are unwilling to agree to deliver or
receive freight there-perhaps on account OF
their cars being subject to charges for use of
the Milwaukee company's and connecting
tracks. AS the steamboatmen have contracted
to bring up the river large amount of freight
to be delivered to the Northern Pacific and st.
Paul & Manitoba roads and are also offered
large freight of -four and other commodities,
from Minneapolis and other points,
the hitch is an embarrassing
one to them. 1t may be attributed to the
transition state of things on the lower levee,
pending the building of additional freight
houses. but all the same it bids fair to lead to
a hot contest between river aud rail freighting
interests.

Elegant Vehicle.

On exhibition at Quinby & Hallowelps car
rage works on Robert street, imported from
New Haven and designed for Burke Il Go. y,
is the most costly. elegant and exquisitely de-
signed coach or landeau carriage ever brought
to this city. The carriage is a model of beauty,
and combines superb finish with every con-
venience known in the advanced progress of
the art. The carriage is mounted in silver.
furnished in plate glass with satin lining and
rosewood trimmings. The adaptability of the
elegant affair to all the requirements of the
patron is perfect; should he desire closed
carriage spring is touched, and 10, the per-
feet running machinery ushers him to the
strictest privacy. On the other hand the
carriage is Just as easily converted into an open
landeau.
It is also equipped with number of new
and novel features, among which may be men,
toned gong, designed to attract the atten-
ton of the driver, and plate glass slide in
front of the carriage supplies easy commune
cation with the outside thus putting the patron
and driver en- rapport and obviating the null
sance of being COMPELLED to crane the head
from the side of the carriage in order to trans
NIT an order. Nesting in the rear of the car
rage, amid the exquisitely finished interior,
is a mirror, which may be removed at will,
with almost magic facility, disclosing a plate
glass window from which is afforded q rear
view of the outside. The carriage is highly
polished and shines like ebony, presenting
quite as rich an appearance as it's cost would
indicate.
The turnout with horses attached cost 3d.
500, sufficient money to buy very comfortable
house and lot. In order to be in the van of the
characteristic enterprise of the times, Messrs.
Burke d Co. decided that their patrons should
have at their disposal as fine coach as could be
gotten up in the world. How admirably they
have succeeded may be realized by a glance at
the carriage under consideration. In purchasing
so elegant and costly rig it was not intended
to employ it in ordinary hack traffic, but it is
especially designed as aprivate coach. for shop
ping, calls, church and reception purposes. The
firm have also ordered another carriage, which
will soon be on exhibition at the W arehouse on
Robert street.

His latest effort, the production of the spects-
cular drama ''The 40 Thieves" has proven .
grand success. A number of spectacular pieces

THE UNION SCOUTS.
The Minneapolis Zouave corps gave the first
performance of 1.-THE Union Scouts" at the
Academy of Music last evening, ibefore large
and very enthusiastic audience. The play re-
produced scenes and incidents Of war times
that refreshed the memory of many an old
veteran present, and so life like were the vari-
GUS phases reproduced that vociferous applause
at frequent intervals made the very rafters
shake. The cast was an excellent one. Mr..
Frederic Bryton, the favorite actor, appeared
as Tom Markham the scout, did some of the
very best acting he has ever done in this city,
and earned new laurels. Mr.. Campbell, as Ned
Pelton. appeared to good advantage. Miss
Mexican, as May Merton, did some effective
acting as a spy. The comedy parts were we'll
taken by T. ]. Kelly as Private Dan Scully;
Fred. W. Ames as Corporal Jake Schneider, and
Otis Wescott as Old Pete. The latter intro
duces a very clever song and dance. The battle
scenes, marching, camp life, tableaux, etc. are
all very interesting and the entertainment a. .
whole is a very superior production. The Same

HILL TILDEN RITHDRAK.

The statement that comes from Washing
ton to the effect that Mr.. Tilden has written
a letter to be read at the Syracuse conven-
ton on Tuesday next declining to be can
didate for President is, we fear, too good to
be true. Yet it would be the wisest thing
he could do under the circumstances, and
place him high in the esteem of the public
of the United States, and more especially in
the regard of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Tilden cannot but be aware of the fact
that his candidacy is source of disquietude
and dissension in the party. He must know
that in the eventsof his nomination he will
have to encounter the opposition of very
large fraction of the party, and that its sue
cess would be greatly jeopordized if not alb
soIutely rendered hopeless. If he is truly
patriotic and desires the success of the De-
mocracy as he should above his own personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, he will see that he cannot
better contribute to that success than by
withdrawing from the canvass.
We are convinced that Mr.. Tilden is sim
cere in his desire for the success of the
Democratic party. and would make any per-
sonal sacrifices to bring it about Nothing
but sense of having been wronged in 1877,
we are sure, would have induced him to ap-
pear as candidate in this campaign. He
knew he was fairly elected in 1876, and was

sold out by his friends and cheated by his
enemies. Any man in his circumstances
would feel spirit of resentment and wish
to see the wrong righted. He considers that
the success of the Democratic ticket with
any other man at the head than himself
would be but a partial rebuke of the outrage
by which the people were deprived of their
choice of chief magistrate, and he natu-
rally desires to be the means through which
the American people can place the seal of
their condemnation upon the fraud. But,
aware that he has incurred enmities, no mat
ter how unjustly, that threaten to continue
in power the party of corruption, extrava-
gance and fraud. he cannot but accept the
situation.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Tilden he is a man
who has few sincere friends and many bitter
enemies. He is not SO constituted as to
awaken enthusiasm among the mass of the
people, for he is not one of them. He has
been sort of hermit in city full of men,
self-contained, unapproachable. He has been
been able to secure power, which he has al
ways used for the benefit of the people. He
gave to New York the best administration
that State ever enjoyed, and saved to the
people millions of money every year. He
broke up the canal ring, the State prison
ring, the insane asylum ring and iunumera-
BILE others. and on that account incurred the
hatred of many of the most influential poll
ticians in the State. These would oppose
him bitterly in case he is nominated for the
Presidency, and would render it impossible
for him to carry that pivotal State.
Though we believe Mr.. Tilden has been
greatly wronged, he could not better serve
his country and his party than by retiring
from contest that is apparently hopeless
and can only breed discussions in the party
which is the only hope of the Countrywide
only hope of a restoration of good govern
ment and the perpetuity of free institutions.

DEAD AMONG STRANGERS.

Mysterious Death of Swede Found In an
9 Unconscious Condition by the Road
side
Wednesday night about 9 o'clock, Mr..
Frank Fisher, a farmer, living on the Still
water road near the Washington county
road, while driving home observed man on
the roadside near his place. who acted Pc
culiarly. Mr.. Fisher drove home, stabbed
his horses and returning to the man, found
him lying down in the roadway, and moan
ing as if suffering greatly. Calling to his
assistance two men named John Lantz and
Joseph MANI, Mr.. Fisher with their help
conveyed the man to a house on Myron
Browns farm, occupied by the two men
named. Here they tried to resusitate the
sick man, made coffee for him and put him
to bed. Coming to after awhile he was
questioned, but could not make himself I'M
derstood beyond telling that he was Swede.
During the night the man moaned good
deal and appeared restless, once getting up
and lowering over the fire.
At 6 O'Clock Lantz and MANI got up, and
going to the bed to see how their guest was,
found him dead.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Fisher communi-
Gated the facts to DR.. Davenport, county
coroner, and he proceeded to the scene and
held an inquest. The following were sum-
moned as jury:
F. Keifer, William Rafferty,, John Lambey,
Hugh Dalton, Peter Clucke and James
Cruft. r
A verdict was speedily returned in accord
ance with the above facts.
The deceased was between 80 and 35 years
old, Swede, as he stated before death. He
had brown hair, blue eyes, was about five
feet nine inches tall, and built in good pro-
portion to his height. He wore no
coat was dressed in gray

drawers, blue overshirt with gray wooden
undershirt, black felt hat and cut-down gait
ers. The upper part of his socks weDe brown
and the feet of gray yarn, and they we're

On his person were found a new red mo-
rocco pocket-book containing fifty eight
cents in American coins and two Swedish
coins of one ore each, knife, tobacco box
and few other unimportant articles.
There were no marks or evidence of vio-
lence about him, and it is supposed that he
died of natural causes from diseases con-
tracted. The body was brought to the
morgue last night by Messrs. MCCARTHY &
Donnelly, undertakers, and will be buried to-

Washington Special (12th) to Chicago Times.
Hester Clymer is one of the most prominent
bachelors in the House. He is tall, broad
shouldered a good-looking man in the neigh
borhood of 80 years of age. His thick, prOfuse
hair is iron grey, and so is his flowing, thick
moustache and his short, sharp, full beard.
His eyes are gray and sparkling. In speaking,
MIR. Clymer uses the tremolo to great extent.
His weeping tones are considered unsurpassed
by any sentimental orator in the country.
He presented the articles of impeachment
AZ ainst Belknap, tears coursing down his cheeks
at the time. He is also the hero of the late
Sparks incident, when the lie was given and
apologies demanded. Matrimony has beckoned
Clymer toward the great West. he is due at
wedding in st. Louis tomorrow morning,
where charming widow, well known IN Wash
ington and st. Louis circles, awaits him. Last
week Mr.. Clymer was placed in charge of the
army appropriation bill. He expected to get
vote last Friday and then leave at once for st.
Louis, but when Saturday morning came Mr..
Clymer was still obliged to remain at his post of
duty. Saturday nightwas the latest possible time
he could leave Washington and meet his en-
gagement in st. Louis. He has been very re-
ticent about his approaching marriage, and
hoped to get through his work without any
need of his going to his chairman to explain.
ALI day Saturday his nervousness was noted to
be excessive. His tremolo tones came out M
on ever possible occasion. Members failed to
understand the wild look of pleading in
Olymers eyes as the farcical one-sided debate
dragged it's weary length along with his st.
Louis bride 600 miles away. Finally, as the
afternoon neared its close, Mr.. Olymer sent for
Chairman Atkins. The latter had been down
town all day, and was hard to find. Finally,
one hour before train time, Mr.. At
kins was discovered. Clymer was now
nearly in mysteries. His trunks were yet I'M
packed. A hurried exchange of words ensued,
and then Atkins came to the rescue. why,
God bless you, my dear man" said Atkins,
''why did you not tell me sooner? Yes, go
ahead; will look after the army bill. BY
Gawd, sab, it is no time for words, when lady
waits" CIymer shot out of Atkins room as
if from gun. Tearing to his hotel, he threw
into his trunk everything he could find, and by
feeling the driver he reached the train in lime
to secure comfortable quarters in the through
sleeping-car. If no accident occurs, Mr.. ely
mer will be promptly on hand for the st. Louis
affair tomorrow.
