PISTOL PRACTICE.
Gur of the Most Amusing Street DucIs
on Record.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, April 13.-Arthur
Murray, editor OF the Press Eagle, and A.
d. Wright, late CompoSitor on that paper,
INDUCED in a street duel last evening. An
article in the Press. Eagle denounced
Wright as a cowarlly traducer and hypo-
critical scoundrel, and an unscrupulous
liar. Wright was on the pavement of the
POstoflce as Murray approached from the
south side. When Murray was about mid
way of the street Wright rapidly advanced,
and when within a foot or two Of the
former, fred over the shoulders of Rev.
DIR. Browning, pastor of the Methodist
Church, who was between him and his
antagonist.
Murray Promptly returned the fire over
the other shoulder of the minister, and
pushed him aside, and endeavored to tire a
second time but the cylinder OF mis- pistol
declined to do duty. Wright fell back
gradually, firing, and about this time the
police arrested both parties. Wright fired
three times and Murray once. Wright was
arrested on the charge of assault with in
tent TO kill. Six lawyers, among them the
States attorney, witnessed the affair, and
as lawyers are proverbial for not agreeing,
two testified that Wright fired the first shot,
two that Murray did, aEd the other two did
not know which did. The preponderaBce
Of the evidence was that Wright did. Muir
rays face was burnt with powder, as was
DR. Browning's, so close to him was the
firing on both sides.

GEORGIA G0VERNORSHIP.
The Fight Ends by the Nomination OF a

ATLANTA, GA, April l2.-The reactionary
element in Georgia politics has triumphed.
After the first days balloting 1t was evil

that the men whose thovghts were back in
1868 were in the majority. When the Con-
vention met yesterday the parties remain.
ed aligned as on the preceding days. A
movement was made toward conference,
which was finally agreed to, the Conven-
tion remaining in session awaiting the re-
port. After several vain efforts the con-
ference got TO work, and soon dropped to
Mcdaniel and Bacon. BY one vote it vas
decided to'report Mcdaniel who was unan-
imously nominated,
During the progress Of the conference
message was hastily sent for Senator Brown.
He arrived, but was not to be drawn into
the fight When, however, McDaniels
nomination became possible, Brown went
into great passion, but too late. Nc
Daniels selection is defeat to him, as Nc
Daniel is opposed to Browns personal
political schemes. While he owes his NOM
ination to the reactionary element, it is not
believed he will be controlled by that par
". but will pursue the advanced policy of
Colquitt and Stephens.
After the convention the Bacon men had
an informal caucus, and put their csndi-
date up for the race next year, and an
nounce the determination that he must

THE IRON TRADE DULL.
Its Condition In Philadelphia and vi

PHILADELrHIA, April l3.-There are sew
en- furnaces idle in the Schuylkill Valley
and four idle the in Lehigh valley. 4
prominent manufacturer said yeaterday
that the iron trade in. Phiiadel phia AMI
vicinity is not in an encouraging condi-
ton; that there had been drop Of 81 per
ton within the last sixty days on all iron
manufactured. He thought the rsduc.
tions in wages could not benefit the man
facturers 50 long as the raw materials AMI
transportation were maintained at
present rates. 4 revival in demand was
all that could sustain q number Of the
mills, and unless this occurred many OF
them must suspend. Many furnaces in
Philadelphia and vicinity report th at they
can make no sales. The furnaces in the
Lehigh Valley are said to be making small
profits on the higher grades of foundry
iron. but mill iron is being sold at an abso-
lutte loss. The Glendon and Andover fur
naces. in the Lehigh Valley, which have a
hie reputation East, are holding TO a rate
- higher than the market, but are said to
be making few sales.

GoULD'S MISTAKE
In Paying Div idends on Western U nion
stock,

stock.
NEW YoRx, April l3.-The Herald to-day
says: Astute Wall street men think that
Mr.. Jay Gould has made mistake in ad-
yancing about a million and half dollars
for the second quarterly dividend on the
inflated capital of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, against which the courts
have issued an injunction, and which he
has nevertheless practically come forward
to pay. Stockholders assign their claims to
him and receive in return checks for the
amount Of the dividend. These payments
were begun yesterday. This action strength
ems the general impression that Mr.. Jay
Gould himself holds about one-half of the
entire eighty millions OF stock outstanding,
legal or illegal, an amount which he has
been obliged gradually 10 purchase in order
to prevent q disastrous break in the price
of the shares in the market. 1t is argued
that he is not the sort Of person to furnish
money to pay dividends on shares held
mainly by other people. An additional
reason for his action is found in the fact
that DR.. Norvin Green, the President
of the company, is on his way to
England, the object of his journey
being, it is understood, TO renew the en-
deayOr to have the stock listed on the
London Exchange. y break in the shares
here is consequent upon non payment OF
dividend might destroy any faint chances
there would be for the success OF this
scheme. Ii is difficult to say what will be
the effect OF Mr.. Jay GOuld's action upon
small investors in the stock of this con-
Germ, but in financial circles it has created
q feeling of distrust, an impression that
the situation is strained and critical, and
asking how many quarterly dividends the
chief stockholders will have the motive and
N onev 10 advance.

THE IRON TRADE.
The Condition of the Pig Iron Mark ct
at Home and Abroad.

rITTSEURGH, March l3-Snce 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 busi-
ness. Pittsburgh is at present the cheapest
market in the country, and consumers are
not sure that the lowest price has yet been
reached. FurnaCemen claim that iron can
not be made TO be sold under present
prices, but the same arguments were
advanced when the price was $l@2 per ton
higher. This last decline will no doubt
cause the blowing oui of additional fur
naCes, and thereby reduce the production.
Some furnacemen express determination
to shut down just as soon as they get
through with existing contracts.
No. Foundry is quoted at S22922 50, 1
mos; No. Foundry, $20@2l, 4 months;
Neutral Forge, SIS 50@l9 so, / mos; BeS.
semer iron, $22@22 90, 4 mos; Cold blast
charcoal, S30@3j mos. In regard to the
British iron market a special cablegram
to the Iron Age from London, under date
of llth inst, says that the Scotch pig
market continues quiet, with prices
weaker.
There is no change to note in blooms,
the market ruling steady, with prices un-
changed. We quote BeSsemer blooms, 7x7,
IL l0s@A5, f. o. b. shipping ports.
Speaking of the general iron trade,
The Iron Age Says;
There is no improvement as the season adj.
vances; possibly the volume OF business is
increasing slightly, but, il is not what it
should be. To make matters worse, under
the influence of an active competition
prices have been cut to such an extent as
10 be unremunerative. 1t is conceded on
all sides that the cost of production must
be reduced; ores, pig iron, coal and coke
have already fallen materially 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 man
ufacturer decided advantage. What the
Amalgamated Association will do in re-
gard to this matter, it is difficult at pres
ent to foretell, but another strike is not
probable, in view of the collapse of the one
last year. at present mill owners are pay
ing for skilled labor on a basis of 2Ic for
bars, whereas the actual selling price OF the
latter is down to &c and less. In the pres.
ent condition of affairs manufacturers of
ordinary merchant iron are unable to make
any money, and unless the cost of produc-
tion can he reduced sufficiently to enable
them TO meet competition they will have
TO shut down

WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Every Hostile Indian Captured To be
Put TO Death.


ALBUQUERQUE, y. NJ, April ia con-
ference between General Crook and the
Mexican authorities, at Hermasillo, has re-
suited in a determination to prosecute the
war against the hostiles with vigor The
New Mexican border is now strongly pro-
tected with troops, rangers and friendly
Indians. There are no raidirg hoStiles in
either New Mexico or Arizona, but there
is no knowing when they will skulk out of
their retreats in the mountains of old
Mexico and cross the line on another raid,
and the reason for keeping these forces in
the front is to kill them if it is possible TO
get within gun shot range.
No prisoners are to be taken. 1t is war TO
the hilt from this tins on until all the
renegades under old ia have been sent to
the happy hunting ground. The fighting
forces OF the renegades number about two
hundred. 1t is by no means certain that
old Chief Loco is dead, and it is believed in
army circles that he apd Ja are at the head
of the raiders reported heading for Arizona
and coming up from cid Mexico. Every
slEaggleS caught will be put to death.

hours, adjourned sine die, without having

miners then made q proposition to work
the next six months AT three and quarter
cents per bushel, which is one-fourth Of a
cent lower than the present rate, but the
operators objected and offered three cents.
A vote taken On both propositions resulted
in tie in each case, and finding all effJrts

meeting state that q reduction to three
cents will now be ordered, and the miners
that under the circumstances q strike will
