Flour was supplied freely, but the demand
was inactive. Prices were unchanged.
Foreign dull, with labored sale. Barley
unchanged. Foreign steady, with a
hardening tendency. Oats dearer. There
was fair trade in foreign at unchanged

STEEL RAILS.

The vulcan Works of st. Louis to be Closed
and 5000 Men Thrown Out of EmpIov
ment-The Disparity Between the Price
of Rails and Pig Iron.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2O-In an interview
published this afternoon, Ethan A. Hitch
cock, president of the st. Louis Ore and
Steel company, intimates that the Vulcan
steel works of that company here will
probably close down on Dec. 1, and remain
closed all next year. Mr.. Hitchcock gave
the following information respecting the
steel rails interest of the country. He said
the price of steel rails has fallen off o5 ner-
cent. 1t was $50 per ton; it is now S45.
When rails were worth $50, iron was sold
from $3.50 to $26 per ton.
The iron men now want s24. Take 25.
per cent. off 26, and it will leave $3.50.
That is what we sought to get pig iron for.
have offered these men $40 per ton, but
they will not take it. 1t is altogether idle,
to talk about keeping the Vulcan at work
unless we get pig iron for $40. The price
OF steel rails has fallen because production
has been too great.
The estimated capacity of the steel mills
IN the United States is now 2,15O.OOO tons
against 1,25O,O tons for 1881. Now the
demand, as close as 1 can get at it
for next year, will be about
oneI million tons--call it SO per cent. of
the steel mill capacity. That shows it
will be impossible for all the mills to
work full time under the most favorable
circumstances, but as far as CONSUMPTION
is concerned it is very difficult to figure.
l don't believe the railroads themselves.
know what they will want until after thew
have seen their annual balance sheet.
At its best there will be little new road
building; there will be no trunk lines built
into Texas or Mexico. There will
be no nickel plate laid east and
west. We will have to depend upon the
reconstruction and repair of roads already
built. There will be good deal of this
done, but not enough to take more than
SO per cent of the present capacity of the
steel m ills. I do not believe congress will
make any material changes in the tariff.
The duty on metals may be lowered; that is
expected. Ibelieve, but the condition of the
trade in this country is such that the duty
on iron cuts very little figure one way or
the other. If by the LIST of December. at
which time our present contracts will be
WORKED out, we cannot procure labor and
material at rates that will enable us to
meet the reduction of prices in steel rail,
we Will stop our works. If we do close
5000 men will be thrown out of employ
ment and pay roll of $15O,OOO a month
De stopped. For our mems sake we would
gladly continue work, but we cannot run
our mills at positive financial loss.

ed to the Missouri authorities, is living in
princely style in the Jail at Independence,
in that state, is treated like lord, and Wis
itefby sympathizing friends, who furnish
his table with all the delicacies of the
season. At first anyone was admitted
to see him, but now he has grown
somewhat fastidious and requires all visi-
tors to send up their cards. He is said to be
well up in the matter of societyetiquette and
acts and talks as if he had always associ-
ated with the best people. he dresses
very elegantly and devotes great deal of
time to his personal appearance. His
trial comes up in Kansas City on the 9th
inst. It is expected he will enter plea of
guilty and at once receive a pardon from
Gov. Crittenden. In this event, it is un-
derstood, says a correspondent, that a
number of his friends will at once apply
for his appointment as United States de-
tective.

Walking Match.

Quite an interesting walking match
occurred last Sunday morning between h.
Rosen and S. Seaton, two young st. Paul
sports, between this city and Minneapolis.
The stakes were the enormous sum of $40.
and Seaton being determined to provo the
maxim, ''the early bird catches the worm. !"
and having hankering for the bullion in
question, started in the morning by the
bright light, only pausing moment for
refreshment at the Halfway house. The
early risers in Minneapolis were startled
by the spectacle of two men in their shirt
sleeves rushing madly up Washington av-
enue, carrying their coats on their arms,
the tails of which were grandly floating in
the morning breeze. Seaton passed the
wire head and shoulder in advance of his
opponent, and, of course, received the
filthy lucre.

A Conflict of JurisdIction.

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 2O.-The rumors of
disaster at Chattanooga are unfounded.
They arose from an attempt of the city
authorities to place a pest house on the
United States reservation attached to the
national cemetery. The superintendent
ordered the city authorities from the
grounds, and he at once stationed armed
geards around the place. No further
trouble is apprehended, as the authorities
will not act without permission from
Washington.

Hoods Opera House.

The advent of new star at this cosy
little theater is always sure to bring out a
large audience, and so when the curtain
went up last night there was not vacant
seat in the house and standing room was
at premium. The performance began
with capital sketch, the Soldier and
Peasant, by Mr.. Ed. w. Banker and Miss
Florence Wade, followed with character
sketches by Mile. Eugenia, Miss Lille
Ellis, Bud and Annie Granger in a racy
sketch, Uncle Pete's Return, and the mid
get, Irene Banker, in her boquet of pretty
songs. The performance concluded with
the great border drama, Grizzly Adams, as
enacted by Mr.. E. T. Goodrich, supported
by Miss Efie Johns and the company. The
drama is very realistic, Mr.. Goodrich
riding horse onto the stags, and it was
immensely relished by the audience.

AN INFIRMARY SCANDAL.
Charges sr7.iclt DisOraced a Physician Re
ciCed IN Court.


riCed IN Court.
STEuBENv1LLE, Ohio, Nov. 15.-In April,
1873, two female inmates of the Jefferson
county inf ,mary became mothers. One of
them, half idiot named Rissa Imhoff, de-
clared that the inirmary physician, DR..
Wlliig CHAM, was the father of her child, and
her testimony was corroborated by Super
intendent Armstrong and his wife. DIR.
Willigm man strenuously denied the charge,
but his guilt was believed to be establish
ed aud he was dismissed in disgrace. With
this stain upon his character he lost his
private practice and was compelled to
leave the neighborhood. Director Stark was
charged with the paternity of the other
child. whose mother was Chrissy Cooper, a
woman at loose character, but Stark was
declared innocent and the investigation
was dropped. Subsequently Armstrong
removed to Medina and was secretly fol-
lowed by Chrissy Cooper, and both lived
taere for some years.
few months ago Chrissy married a
man named Enga and went to Akron. Last
Saturday Armstrong followed her to Akron
and demanded and took away her child,
which lhad been born in the jefferson
county infirmary, claiming to be it's father.
He said that the canse of his act was that
his wife was barren and he wanted an heir.
The woman resisted, and habeas corpus
trial began at Akron to-day. Dispositions
will be taken here to prove the parentage
of the child. It is now believed in Steu-
benville that DR.. Willigman was unjustly
punished, and that Armstrong was the
father of the Imhof child as well as of
Chrissy Coopsr's. Armstrong was an act
i've member of the Methodist EPISCOPAL
church and superintendent of the Sunday
school.

The Choral Society Concert.

The prospects for grand artistic and
musical triumph upon the occasion of the
first concert of the Choral society, to be
given at the Opera house one week from
tonight. are most fattering. Under the
able leadership of Signor Janotta, the
society has been brought to a rare degree
of culture and efficiency, and that its per-
Torrance will be of extraordinary interest
and excellence, there can be no occasion
for doubt. The last public rehearsal was
held last night, and the uniform excellence
shown, further insures grand success.
