VAN Killed in iteadi.irl

On Saturday morning John j. Kistler, of
Mossersyille, Lehigh county, got aboard ID
passehger train on the Berks and Lehigh
Railroad at Lynnport, to 60 to Reading
During the course bf the day he got to the
Reading Iron Works. after having been
drinking ireely,ahd ocrasioned considerable
annoyance to the employees. IL was spoil
ing it is said by tho Reading Times, for
fight and challenged a number Of persons
to a personal encounter. He also interfered
with the employees in the discharge Of their
duties. Finally Special Officer John Kemp,
who is on duty at the Reading Iron Works,
was sent For, and; upon accnstng Kistler,
whose name aud occupation were then un-
known, was greeted with a surly answer
upon being requested To leave the yard.
Kemp then took hold of Kistler Tor the pur-
pose Of ejectlng him, when the officer met
with a stubborn resistance, and had finally
to use force. Kistler was struck on the
head with billy, from the effects of which
he died in few hours afterwards. lie was
found ain hour and half after tie striking
at Fourth and Pine streets, lying on the
pavement aud was taken to the station house,
where he expired sliCrtly altetsix o'clock on
Saturday evening. The Reading Times in
its report ol the killing publishes the evil
dence produced before the coroner's jury,
from which Il appears that Kistler provoked
the violence used on him.

The iron Trade.

The iron market continues in the same
condition as has been noted for several weeks
past. The inquiry Mt the lower prices has
been somewhat better, but the actual bus-
ness has been light in amount. Even the
heavy decline Of S. $40 from the top prices
has not created much more confidence as to
the future of the market, aud consumers are
backward about purchasing in any large
quantities. The inclination seems to be to
wait until the lowest prices shall have been
touched after which it is certain that large
demand will set In. The requirements of
the immediate future are known to be heavy,
and should prices settle down to fair scale
an active business would speedily follow.
The stock on hand is large aud the prom
ises are that the production during the year
will be heavier than during any other year
in the history of the iron trade. These two
facts point to prices low enough to induce
activity in the consumptve demand. Just
now the domestic product is depress-
ed by the large accumuations of foreign
iron, the most (which is pressed for sale by
brokers and consignees under circumstances
which make low prices certainty, but this
condition cannot last long. The reason for
the presence Of the heavy stock of the for
eign products is manifest. When the iron
industry began to revive the domestic stocks
were lghtand altogether inadequate to meet
tue enormous demand that SO suddenly set
in. While owners were preparing to blow
in idle furnaces and capitalists to erect new
ones which required II great deal of time,
consumers were compelled to go abroad for
their supplies. FROM this resulted the i'm.
portations of the last eight or ten months,
the amount Of which is without parallel in
the history of the business. But all these
conditions have changed. AS compared with
this time last year, the number Of blast fur
naces now in operation is nearly doubled
and the material increase in the production
will be sufficient to meet all deman Is that
are likely to be for 50 ne time TO come.

'shc Coal Trade.

The recent acton Of the anthracite com
panies in continuing the suspension of min
ing for three days in each Of the first two
weeks Of May, aud in advancing the Price
Of stove coal twenty five cents per ton, to
take effect ON May lUih, has, we learn Very
materially benefited the trade. 1t appears
to he now accepted as a fact by all that the
owners of coal do not intend to let the price
of coal go back to the ruinous ones which
have prevailed during the last few vears,
and that, in order to keep the market in
gnnd condition, the supply is to he kept
within the demand. 1t is certain that, with
the -educeh output of the last few weeks,
there is more coal being consumed than
mined, as the stocks on hand are being re-
duced in quantity. Ths only sizes which
have been in too great abundance during
March and April haye been stove and chest
nut cal. The demand for these sizes for
domestic purposes, which is generally light
still further restricted by the indisposition
of dealers IN lay IN q stuck at rates so much
higher than those OF last year for fear that
dissensions among the companies might re-
suit in break Of prices before the year was
over. The trade generally now feels conf
dent that there is no fear from this source,
and we have been assured, upon very reli-
able authority, that recent conferences
among the companies have resulted in Il
unaniminity of sentiment upon the subject
that is likely To find expression within a
short time of such decided character as ef-
fectually 10 convince the niust skeptical
that fair prices for coal are to be maintained.
| 1t is believed that there is nothing now
wanting tn make the trade eood for the re-
mainder Of the year but confidence among
dealers that the mining companies do not
intend to break prices. This confidence is
likely to he given within short time BY
the action Of the companies themselves and
in any event careful nursing Of the busi-
ness during the mouth Of May, by restrict
! ing the production IL the actual wants Of
the market, must result in IA most active
trade at remuneintive rates after the lst Of
June. - Ledger, Sd.

folly can be imagined that should surpass
the action taken by Don Cameron and other

hear of it. However, the masses are not
