Helping the Party.

In the davs gone by a Detroit Sheriff
who had made close shave Of being
elected, had the Ill luck to lose pris-
oner from the Jail. The fellow made
good his escape tn the country, but the
Sheriff overhauled him about eight
miles out and drove him under barn.
The prisoner was captured and yet he
was not. II he could not get out the
Sheriff could not get In, and threats
aad no effect on him. In this emer-
gency the sfiicer called out:
Say, Jim"
"Yes."
"You know I had . mighty close
shave getting this office"
"You did that"
"Well, I'm Ia ying my pipes for sec.
ond term. III lose you I might a. well
hang up. The opposition will hold 1t
up in letters four feet high, and hum
dreds of men In my own party
will slip my name. Do you hear
me?"
"I do.u
"Weil, I ask you to come out, not
exactly as q prisoner going back Tn
jail, but more as . patriot bound to
stand by his party. Come, Jim." .
"I'll be hanged II I don't!" replied
the prisoner. The Judge was agin me,

son, Commodore Garrison, Solon Hum
phreys, H. &. Marquand and LIE Grand
B. Cannon.
The new corporation means business,
as will be seen by the steps already
taken. To-day it was ascertained that
the head management had purchased
the five acres Of ground belonging to
the Marine Railway, and situated just
north of the Vulcan works. This
ground is to be utilized to build an ex-
tensive steel wire mill, perhaps the
largest In the country.
The building will cost nearly 5000, 900,
and with outhouses will cover almost
all of the ground just acquired. In all
steel mills there Is an amount OF waste,
ends of rails that are cut of, imperfect
pieces, etc. The custom heretofore has
teen to sell this as scraps to the wire
companies. In the wire mill they will
utilize all the waste previously sold,
thus putting this matter on the mar
ket as q first product. The work OF
erecting the wire mill will be begun
Immediately if the weather permits.
If not, it will be run up very rapidly
in the spring, aud will be in com
plete running order before next sum
mer.
This is probably the first intimation
which the local wire companies and
the property holders of Carondelet have
had that the vacant Marine Railway
property is to be covered by manu-
factory which will employ over 2O(
men, and which will greatly add Il
the business prosperity of the city. The
improvements will extend up to the Ju
piter furnace.
The syndicate expects to spend hal
q million dollars altogether upon thu
new acquisition. The works will b'
overhauled in all particulars. Another
furnace will be erected at the Vulcan
| several new Bessemer steel converter
| will be put in, the plans renodeled, ,anC
| the whole establishment will be chang
ed for the better.
| Next spring will mark the busies
building season that CarOndelet hai
seen since its existence. Mr.. Hitch
cock, the new President, Is very san
guine that q general revival of the iroi
trade will be the result of the new con
solidation. The stockholders contro
nearly 14,OOO miles Of railroad, and tn
works are situated at point where al
the ore and fuel necessary are accessi

IRON CONSOLIDATION.
Jaw Gould's Hand in the Amalga-
nation of the Vulcan
and Pilot Knob.
Extensive Steel Wire Mills to be
Erected at CarOndelef, az
Cost Of $500, 900.

From the St. Louis Post-Dlspatcn-I
The iron consolidation which has
been SO long talked about is at last
practically effected. The status of the
matter now is that the parties here who
have sold out to the Eastern capitalists
are awaiting their money, and when
the shekels arrive from New YORK sne
business will be closed.
The history Of the transaction, which
has been in contemplation for nearly
one year, is as follows: When Jay Gould
obtained large interest in the Missouri
Pacific and Wabash roads, he deemed
it necessary that steel-mill should be
located at this point. His visit here
several months ago, in company with
several New Workers, was to select
site for the works. :,
The local iron and steel men looked
with great anxiety on the prospect OF
the competition that Gould's enterprise
would give them, he controlling most
of the roads that furnished an outlet 70
the city. After some consultation
committee waited upon Mr.. Gould and
proposed to him that, if reasonable
terms could be obtained, the Vulcan
Steel Company. with several OF the iron
companies, could be placed under ms
control. The proposition met Gould's
approval, and Mr.. Gerard b. Allen was
appointed to estimate and apportion the
values of the various interests. twas
originally intended that the pool should
be formed oft Vulcan Steel Company,
the Pilot Knob Iron Company, the
Grand Tower Mining and Transporta-
ton Company, an } the Iron Mountain
Iron Company. Matters were in y
chaotic state for q couple Of months,
the Iron Mountain Company causing
the hitch. It was declared by the
other parties to the pool that the Iron
Mountain was asking too much, de-
manding, as it did, q controlling inter-
| est in the new consolidation. But for
this drawback the business would have
been brought to q finish at least four
months ago; but the Iron Mountain
people remained obstinate and clogged
the wheels. At last it was resolved to
leave them out altogether, and the ar
range ment has been made on that bas-
is. The general impression is that they
have been badly left, as the syndicate
controls all the outlets available anu II

at couple Of weeks ago, a. announced

IRONTON NO. THURSDAY NOVEMBER II. 1884,

and certainly would exceed all reason
able limits of a newspaper article, to
show the precise dependence of one
department of the Government on the
other, and how completely this lodge
ment controls the whole thing. We
shall content ourselves then by giving
very cursory outline of the improved
show for the right which is secured by
this change.
In the first place, the organization of
q District Court, which is the lowest
Federal tribunal, is on q basis 30 high
as to be out Ot the reach of any Circuit
Court in any State. Before the Judge
can enter on bis office, he must be nom-
mated by the President of the United
States.
Now, unless a man 10 oblivious of the
plainest dictates of common sense, ne
must cOncede that before q man can
become President he must have some
brains and thorough knowledge OF
human character, and considerable
honesty at the bottom of it.. And ne
must concede, farther, that in respect
to talent and broad statesmanship the
Senate has never had occasion to yield
precedence to any other deliberative
body in the world. A nomination and
endorsement by such authority fol
such a position is, then, a very high
recon- m endation for any man.
The jurymen are selected from lists
furnished by the various Deputy Mar
shals all over the District, and those
Marshals are required to list the very
best material in their reach; profes
sional jurymen are not in demand.
place on such list is worthy the am
bition of our best citizens. Those jury
men are paid a compensation whlcf
will justify them in giving their bes
attention to any matter committed tt
them.
the rules which govern the practice
of that court act upon lawyers like th'
| law which cut down the Hebrew army
| from thirty-twO thousand to three hun
dred. Admission in that court is al
endorsement of the broad knowledge o
legal principles and soundness OF char
acter, which ought to make any law
yer's fortune.
Before a court thus constituted ant
ad ministered, the show for justice will
he good.
From this court appeal lies to tn
| Circuit Court; and whilst due deferenc
is cheerfully paid to the high legal an!
moral qualifications of Judge Geo: w
McCreary, yet no sound lawyer will ev
er cease to lament the oppeation of an.
cause that rendered 1t necessary tha
Judge Dillon should withdraw iron
the bench of the Ninth Judicial ClI
cult.
