They parted in anger, the young man
shutting the street-door hastily behind
him and walking off without a single

the window watching under her long

When he was out Of sight she left the
parlor and went slowly upstairs to her

says q pint of milk is equivalent in nu.
tritive power to an ordinary mutton

only an ounce or so OF cheese, we m ust
have in the latter a cheap and highly
concentrated food. The English eat
double tho cheese in proportion to the
population that is consumed by Amer.

Determined Vigilantes-A sherif7s Race
 for Life With His Prisoners.
 CATLETTsBUFG, Jan. 5.-The three men who murdered two girls after outraging them and also murdered 8 brother of one of the girls to prevent him raising an alarm, after wards firing the house. during the absence of the father of two of the victims, Mir. Gibson, at Ashland, were secretly moved from jail by the sheriff this afternoon to save them from being lynched by the crowd that had organ ized for the purpose. The sheriff took the prisoners in 8 close cab aboard a ferryboat bound for Ohio. The vigilantes learning of this chartered the steamboat Mountain Girl and boarding her went in pursuit. The sher- if, when he learned that he was pursued, headed for down the river and at last ac. counts it was a race for life.
 IRoNTowN Jan 5.-The trial at Catletts- burg of the Ashland murderers was set for l D. m. to-day. Judge Brown, fearing the &C., tion of the mob, about two hundred strong, had the prisoners placed on ferryboat, which transferred them to the steamer Noun tain Boy at the Sheridan coal works, ten miles below Catlettsburg. The excited mob hearing of this captured the steamer Noun tain Girl and started in hot pursuit The Mountain Boy passed here with the prisoners about ? p. m.

Prices For IrOHss


 PITTsBURG, Jan. 5.-The Western Iron as- sociation met here yesterday. It was ex- pected the price of iron would be advanced to meet the increase recently made in Phila- delphia but the old card rates 2.5 cents per pound for merchant bar were reaffirmed by unanimous vote. The sad experience of 1879, when the iron boom was arrested by importations of foreign metal, taught manufacturers lesson that will long be re- 1 membered. They fear an increase in rates will be followed by an increase in the price of pig iron. American pig holds at $26. English pig can be delivered at New York at | $22, and any further increase in home pro- ductions would admit English pig, great quantities of which are ready for shipment to this country, because there has been de- cline in prices in England. An advance in 1 American merchant bar would also open the markets to English goods, which can be de. 1 ivered at New York at 2.7 cents per pound. l American bar is preferred at the same price | to English because it is better in quality, is cut to lengths ordered and delivered in short CT time. There is brisk demand for iron, ,and 1 all our mills have more than they can do but western manufacturers are determined never again to ride good horse to death They are satisfied with the present.

The Deadlock in the Assam1

The Deadlock in the Assembly.
 ALBANY, Jan. 5.-The deadlock in the Leg islature still continues The report that Sen ator Jacobs had visited Tammany head quarters and there consented to vote for the Tammany candidate for clerk of the Senate is contradicted by that Senator. He says that he dropped into the Tanmany rooms last night and some facetious remark was made about his voting for Holahan, but that he made any such proposition in earnest is stoutly denied by him. The Senate was in session but half an hour to-day and made no attempt to elect president pro tenn. The Assembly held brief session of less than an hour. Several brief speeches were made pro- testing against the deadlock being continued, but the motion to ballot for Speaker was ta- bled by vote of 61 to 54, strict party vote, the Democrats voting against.a ballot. Both houses adjourned until Tuesday evening and the members took the early afternoon train for New York. It is now believed that Tam many is fighting for recognition in the next State convention.
