ing from the cars while being brought to Tus
cola by Sheriff Wyatt.

Something New in Steel.

CHESTER, Pa, Oct a. Two months ago the
Standard Steel Casting Company of Thuriow,
two miles south of Chester, Started their ten ten
oven hearth furnace. Since that time they have
achieved what they say is a brilliant technical
success. The principal difficulties heretofore
encountered in the manufacture of steel castings
have been blow-holes and hard steel, the former
making the castings honey combed while the
latter difficulty renders them unfit as substi-
tute for iron forgings. The Standard Steel
Casting Company have overcome these diff
culties, and are now making castings practically
free from blow-holes. and which can be

small, irregular shaped castings owing
to the enormous shrinkage of cast steel; but this

Decision on the Iowa Liquor Law.

DUBUQUE, Ia Oct 24-The State Supreme
Court to-day rendered an opinion on one of the
sections of the State prohibitory law, the effect
of which is that justices of the peace have ju-
fine is 800 or less. One month ago Judge
Hays, of the District Court at Muscatine, de-
cided that, on the question of jurisdiction of
justice the costs well as the fine should be
counted in, and if both were over 800, the case
should 60 out of the justices court to the Dis
trict Court. This was regarded as an anti pro
hibition decision. A day or two after Judge
Stutsman, of the District Court at Burlington,
decided to the contrary, holding that the costs
should not be counted, which was regarded as
prohibitory decision. His decision the Supreme
Court afirn1s. The decision is unanimous. 1t
holds that the costs in case are no part Of the
punishment, but are intended for compensation
to officers for the enforcement of the law

PITTsBURG, Oct. 24-This morning, about
o'clock the guards on duty at the riverside pen
itentiary discovered flames issuing from that
portion occupied by Warden Wright as q resi-
dence. The sounding of an alarm quickly
brought the fire department to the scene but
meantime the flames had made considerable
headway, and before they could be subdued the
building was damaged to the extent of $4,000 10
$4,000. The news that the penitentiary was
burning spread rapidly and created intense ex-
citement. Rumors were circulated that several
prisoners had been hurt and that others had es-
capped but these proved unfounded. In fact the
prisoners were not aware of the fire until the
flames were extinguished Tho warden's resi-

Did Mrs. Frelinghuysen Make the MatchP


The prospective wedding at the White House
this winter is too alluring to the gay society
world of the capital to be easily turned aside.
10 those who remember the rivalry existing
last winter between Mrs Freiinghuysen and
Mrs. Carlisle, over the question who
ranked the other socially, this marriage
may have a special interest Last winter honors
We're about evenly divided between Mrs. Ere
linghuysen and Mrs Carlisle. Some of Mrs.
Callisles friends are now saying that Mrs. Ere
hnghuysen has urged her daughter to accept
the Presidents hand, so that during the remain
ing days of his administration her daughter at
least will be the first lady in the
land 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that this will simply be
a love match. Mr.. Arthur has confessed it to no
one, but to those VIII have watched his move

love- most unmistakable sign has been dis

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 24.-At an early hour this
morning the fire in T. A. Chapmans large dry
goods establishment was brought under control
and prevented from spreading to adjacent build
ings, but the flames having communicated to the
basement of that portion of the building occu
pied by Stark Brothers, wholesale dealers in
carpet goods, where a large stock of oilcloths
were stored half a dozen streams of water were
kept on the fire during the entire night. Aside

procure temporary quarters and resume busi-
ness as early as possible and during the coming
year rebuild on the old site.
At noon the vault was opened and its entire
contents, books, etc, found in perfect condition.
Stark Bros. vault is probably in the same condi-
ton In the rear portion of Chapmans estab-
lshment was fre-proof sub-cellar. in which
was stored $4,000 of gents furnishing goods.
