The Condition OF the Pig Iron Market
NJ Home and Abroad.


PITTSBURGH, April lS.-Since last week
the situation OF the pig iron market has
very considerably changed. Prices have
declined from Soc to 81 per ton, and, with
lower prices, have come an increased bust
ness. Pittsburgh is at present the cheap.
est market In the country, and consumers
are not sure that the lowest price has yet
been reached. Furnacemen claim that iron
cannot be made 10 be sold under present
prices, but the same arguments were ad.
yanced when the price was 81 00a2 90 per
ton higher. This last decline will no doubt
cause the blowing out OF additional fur.
naces, and thereby reduce the production.
Some iurnacemen express determination
TO shut down just as soon as they get
through with existing contracts.
Speaking Of the general iron trade, the
Iron. AGE says: There is no improvement
as the season advances; possibly the vol
ume OF business is increasing alightly, but
il is not what Il should be. To make mat
ters worse, under the influence OF an active
competition prices have been cut TO such
an extent as to be unremunerative. It is
conceded an all sides that the cost Of pro.
duction must be reduced; ores, pig iron,
coal and coke have already fallen material.
" in value, and skilled labor must follow:
The latter has already been taken in hand
by the mill owners. Wages are
much higher here than in the
East, which gives the Eastern manu-
iacturer o decided advantage. What the
Amalgamated Association will do In regard
to this matter, 1t is difficult at present 70
ioretell, but another strike Is not probable,
In view OF the collapse Of the one last year.
At present mill owners are paying for
skilled labor on basis OF 2.c for bars,
whereas the actual selling price Of the latter
Ia down TO &c and less. In the present
condition OF affairs manufacturers Of ordl.
nary merchant iron are unable to make any
money, and unless the cost Of production
can be reduced sufficiently TO enable them
to meet competition they will have TO shut
down.

CHICAGO, April lS.-The Times today
has the following: The peculiar disease
affecting Mr.. Andrew Tallman, n general
account OF which was published yesterday,
attracted great deal OF attention, and
various theories were given for its exist
ence. Several physicians who were seen
in relation to the disease were oil the opir-
ion that the malady was progressive mus
cular atrophy, yet there is little in the SYM
tomatology TO warrant this belief. The
deiormities consequent upon muscular
atrophy are nowhere apparent. While
there Ia an emaciation apparent it is so
general that the exterior contour OF the
body Is In nowise destroyed at any point.
II there were any disappearance OF the
interossel this would be noticeable, but II
muscular atrophy is the cause OF Mr. Tall
mans condition It is accompanied with
proportionate depreciation Of bone. There
IS nothing similar 10 the fibrillary contrac.
tions most frequently noticed in what Il
termed muscular atrophy, and for that
reason the'physicians who examined him
yesterday, and from one OF whom the above
specimens Of therapeutic nomenclature
were obtained, thinks the malady some.
thing different,
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1883-04-14

The strangcst fact in connection with Mr..
Tallman's case is tho marked change which
occurred yesterday. He is low Just three
minutes and seven seconds q min. { sec.)
behind time, IN added loss Of a little over
twice the time to which he has been accus.
toned for the past few months. This rapid
depreciation OF nerve force Is considered to
be due to the tax imposed on him by the
large number OF curious visitors yesterday.
It was not noticeable until evening, after
the excitement OF the day was over. His
wife has acquired SO accurate knowledge
Of the time needed forthe communications
OF impressions that she detected the first
Indication of an increase IN the length ot
time required for transmission to the
brain Of effects produced on him. She
noticed at tea that he took nearly
q minute to discover the beverage was
too hot, and only after he had drank
enough OF 1t to severely blister bis mouth.
She spoke to him then and began TO time
him. At 10 o'clock last night II required
inst three minutes and ten seconds for him
10 become conscious OF the fact that the
bed had broken down and he was lying on
the floor. At this rate OF progression 1t is
astounding to consider how far behind
time he will be in agiyen period. Assum.
ing that the nerve vitality is doubly lowered
every twenty.tour hours, that to night at
10 O'Clock he will be just twice as far be.
hind time as he was last night at that hour,
an idea can be formed OF his condition at
a not very remote day. In twenty days, at
this rate, he will be something over a year
behind time-that Is, he will relish his
dinner taken twenty days from now some.
thing like year after it is eaten. Should
a child be born to him on that day he will
find 1t out a year aitprward.

the militia fired on the mob of rioters
at Bellville, ILL.,, tonight. One man
killed and several wounded.
The militia are awaiting orders to
proceed at once to the scene of
trouble. at 5.45 p. M. the train
bearing troups arrived at the mine.
Women were on the bluff where
companies buildings are located.
Men, about $50 in number, were on
the south side of the rail
road track. They all carried
canes Of various thickness.
Deputy SheriffS Anthony and Ry-
land were on the ground, Anthony
in charge. AS the train halted
Colonel Barley appeared on the
platform of the car. Anthony
jumped upon the platform, and with
outstretched arms shouted
-. Again the mob fed down the
railroad embankment and through
the weeds, and took ditch ten feet
wide like deer. One man was
seen to stagger and fall and lay
with his arms outstretched, on the
further bank of the ditch.
He was shot clear through
the head. He had not been identified
when the reporter left the ground
but he is known to be from Casey
vile, one Of a party that has been
securing the district for week.
