A Good, Healthy Business-NO Boom
Wanted.

PITTsBuRoH December a. Although
this is considered dull season there Is Z
heavy demand for iron-in fact something
on the same.scale as the boom Of two year
ago. Every manufacturer, without excep'
ton, has more than he can get through with
this year at least, and many will not accept
orders to be filed before spring. The mild.
ness Of the weather has something to do
with the demand, also, as good deal Of
outdoor work can be done. None Of them
think q decline in prices will take place,
and they seem Just as anxious TO avoid an
advance, One prominent member Of an
iron firm, who was spoken to on the sub.
iect, said that as regards themselves there
were not so very many orders coming in,
but they had as much as they could attend
to, During the hot summer they could not
manufacture enough iron on account OF the
extreme heat, and OF course their orders ac-
cumulated, They expect good trade all
the winter. Another firm interviewed
stated their business was very good. OF
course the heat OF the summer had some
thing to do with the demand, but they
were notanxious to manufacture ahead, at
any rate, as this increase in business was
not expected, The present boom COM
mencetfabout the middle OF October, and
although they, and other manufacturers,
are pushed with orders, he docs not think
there will be any advance in prices. In
fact, II itanything, they would rather have
decline. II iron advances twotenths
more, English iron would be brought in,
which they are very anxious to avoid, us
the last hoom taught them such lesson
that they do not want to have II occur
again. They missed it that they did
not have the tariff fixed by Con.
gress when the question. was being
agitated, us by bringing in foreign products
trade here was completely demoralzed. ii
was by flooding the country with English
iron that the boom Of 1870 came to sud.
den termination, Now, by not having a
proper tariff, they dare not advance in
prices. They have orders that will keep
them busy until February, and refuse to al
all orders taken now before the lst of
March. In fact, they say they will not
receive any orders from new customers at
present, as 1t Is rs much as they can do to
till those OF old ones, even months ahead,
They are willing to take orders ahead for
fixed prices, but Immediately make ar
rangements for material, so the change In
price will not affect them. They will not,
however, accept orders six months ahead
when there would likely I've a change in
prices, US that would get 10 be speculation.

Special Dispatch to the lRtelligenceE
WASHINGTON, December 22.-There have
been lately q considerable number OF re-
movals in various portions Of the Treasury
Department, generally among the smaller
clerkships, Yesterday a few .irst-class
clerks were removed, and to-day several
more, among them several ladies. The
chiefs Of the bureaus from which these peo-
pie were removed made inquiry Mt the ap-
pointment Office to find il charges were
preferred against these people, and ascer-
tanned that there were none preferred. The
only explanation given was that their
places were wanted for other persons, The
explanation Of this apparent iniraction Of
the civil service rules Is as follows.
During the early part ot President Gar
fields administration the city was filled
with Office seekers from every part OF the
country and places had to be made for
large number Of people, Many States
already had their quotas full, and many
would'be clerks cheerfully misrepresented
their places Of residence in order to secure
= position. Large numbers of people from
Connecticut and other Eastern States re-
presented themselves as coming from
Dakota, Minnesota and the Territories,
Since Lamphero was fired, the investiga-
lion Of the record and fitness Of every clerk
in the department has been going on at the
Office, and as n result num-
Der Of clerks whohave misrepresentod their
States have been givenan indefinite leaveof

burgh, Assistant Secretary of the State
Board Of Public Works, was arrested to-day
on charge Of the forgery Of $1,000 in
vouchers. The members Of the Board have
been making an investigation for several
days, and first found that on November II
a check to W. II, Dumont for s73,lOs was
raised to $l73, los; another to Jarvis Lon.
don for s54,7lG to $l5472G and n third to
James Nlarston for $40, 1925 to So ,035, The
report Of tho Board for the fiscal year was
made November 10, when he began this
work. None were discovered prior 10 that
date. Newbugh has been in the employ
Of the Board for ten years or more. The
accused admits having taken $1,000, but
the Board thinks that there Is more work
Of the kind. Newburgh was recently mar.
rled, and his high manner OF living led TO
suspicious that all was not right. Fast wo.
men and gambling played big part in bis
