DASTARDlY ATTACK
Made BY Brace of Burglars On q Man
and Wife.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 14.-Early yesterday
morning dastardly attack was made by
two burglars on VIM. Ford and wife, of
this city. The details are as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. Ford were sleeping in their room
on the second floor of the building. The
room occupied by the daughter is imme-
diately in the rear facing on the street On
account of the extreme heat the window of
this room was partly raised, and through it
the two intruders obtained ingress by
means Of ladder which they placed against
the side OF the house. They got into this
room without disturbing the occupants
and passing into the hall they
found a lamp burning dimly, which
they carried into Mr.. and Mrs. Ford room.
Mrs. Ford was sleeping lightly, and heard
the intruderS enter the room. She sat up
in bed and asked who they were. One of
the men stepped up to the bedside, and
pointing revolver at her head, hissed out:
C = You, IL you holler, I'll shoot
you" This had no effect on the frightened
woman, for she screamed at the top of her
voice. Ono of the men struck her on
the head with the revolver and the
other hit her couple of times with what
was afterwards discovered to be a bag of
sand. The noise awakened Mr.. Ford, and
he sprang out of bed and grappled with one
of the aSsailants, receiving at the same
time several heavy blows on the head from
the revolver. While the struggle was going
on the other scoundrel kicked Mr.. Ford in
the side, the blow nearly doubling him mn.
This was only the work of a few Seconds
and the asSailants retreated from the room,
There is no clue 10 the parties who com
mitted the outrage. Mr.. Ford will recover.

owing to the quantity Of last winter stock

Iron is in better demand and prices are
firm. Provisions have been very firm and

CLEVELAND, o., July 1.-THE iron mark
cts are about the same as last week. Dealers
in pig iron report firmer market, which
is not concurred In by consumers, who
claim they can buy at the same prices as
two or three weeks ago. The inquiry is
probably not so great as last week. Manu-
factured iron is in moderate demand, with
prices firm, because OF the light
offerings. Railroad supplies are
steady with consumption for
all products. Affairs at the Cleveland
rolling mill are assuming a more active
aspect. The wire and soft steel mills are
running on double turn. The Bessemer
steel mill will start up on Monday. Petro-
leum is quiet and unchanged. A good

ness, and with the good crop prospects
there are indications OF an improvement
Passenger carrying eastward is booming
and westward is fair. The strike in New

on. Notwithstanding this declaration, IL is
patent to an observer that certain OF their
leaders are trying to use their societies TO
Further Their Political Ideas and
Schemes.
Very many Of those belonging to the
labor unions are heartily opposed TO the
political movement and the men with
political ambitions win probably ind that
what fhey call In their stump speeches.
"the conflict Of labor with capital is a
poor platform to found q political party
upon.
There was rumor afoat yesterday that
the Keystone" mill, q large concern on
Second avenue, would sign the scale to-day.
One Of the firm, when interviewed, most
emphatically denied that they had any such
intention.
The blast furnaces have been constantly
running since the strike, and have laid up
immense stocks Of pig iron. The Isabella
furnaces have just about finished some i'm.
proyements that will place them among the
finest in the country. These furnaces,
until the recent great run of the 3D." at
the Edgar Thompson works, had the best
record in the country, their average for a
week running over 220 tons per day. They
may do something great in the future.
