Reduction in Pig Iron

PIrTsBURo, June 5.-The action Of th g
Thomas Iron Company, of New York, IN re-
duelng the price of pig iron 81 per ton has
not caused the CONSERVATION in this city

duction was not entirely unexpected, and

The Miners Bank Sued.

During the past few weeks a number Of
suits have been brought against the deiunct
Miners Bank of Summit Hill. What the
pl4intiffs expect to gain by these suits is
not definitely known, but it is supposed
that they expect to attack the assignment
made for the benefit of creditors. The
Mechanics National Bank of Philadelphia
has summoned the stockholders and also
J. NJ. Driesbach, the assignee, HIS garnishees
within the last few days. Much uncer-
tainty exists among all parties whether
stock holders, debtor, or creditors Of the
bank, and everyone seems to be anxiously
waiting Tor Judge Dreher's decision upon
the attachment of the Mechanics National
Bank ol Philadelphia. Goal Gazette.

She Tried to Drown Herself.
For several weeks past the gossips IN this
vicinity have been rolling under Their
tongues n sweet morse of iood, in the shape
of disgraceful story concerning three per-
sons, who are not particularly distinguished
for their responsibility or god character.
i appears that person named Frank
Green, had by divers ways won the affect

lington. whom he brought here for pur-
poses best known to himself. The result OF
their intimacy was that she recently pro-
cured warrant for his areest, inasmuch
as he had MT only deceived her, but dis
graced her. She insisted on marriage, to
which he agreed, and on Sunday they en-
deavofed to haye pastor or perform the
ceremony. But il was not performed, as u
was learned that she had husband living
| irpm whom she had not been divorced, and
the marriage could not take place.
On Monday another warrant was issued

charge similar IN substance to that of Mrs.

TER, at Tannery, aud married with Mrs.

She had jumped hon a crib TO the water,
and wonld have accomplished her purpose,
mad not that part at her dress near the
