SOUTHERN IRoN.-The northern Jour.

SOUTHERN IRoN.-The northern jour
nails, and especially those of Pennsylvania,
are discussing the progress of the iron in
terest of the South. They have long since
realized the fact that the South can and
does produce iron at a much less cost than
the North. Seventy-six thousand tons of
southern pig iron were shipped North this
year, and while this is very small pro-
portion of the quantity used, it is enough
to foreshadow the revolution that is sure to
take place in the iron trade. W bile many of
the furnaces of Pennsylvania and Ohio have
been running on half time, or have been
closed altogether, since last spring, the
southern furnaces have been, with a few
exceptions, busy all the year. The result
will be that many of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio producers will eventually build fur
naces in Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, and
Tennessee, where the ore and the coal lie
close to each other.-Richmond State.

bank remains the same. Nothing can be known
until the steel chest in the safe is opened. II is
thought it will be opened to-day. The bank
officials and persons in charge will say nothing.
Those who had confidence in Warner and the
bank are fast losing it. Depositors are offering
claims for 20 and 75 per cent, and no takers. E..
l. Hart OF the Orleans County bank, has pre-
prepared to pay all it owes, but there has been
no run and none is expected. The sheriff, in the
suit by W. 4. Parnaly, has an attachment for
everything found belonging to Warner, which is
not much No provision has been made by
Warner for the support of his family. The ex-
perts have not yet penetrated the safe. One of
the Burrows family says Warner has gone to
Europe and is confident nothing viii be found
in the safe. Cashier Coan still claims depositors

the worst thing that can be said about him In
that he ''kicks'' too often on the diamond His
exhibition Of temper in the eighth inning, over 9
decision by the umpire, was not worth the time
used IN his vehement protest. His playing was
good. Brewers delivery is somewhat wild and
not very hard to hit. Raney il
probably the best man In the
team. Certain 1t is that he is the best batter
de made total Of five bases yesterday, and
there are not many pitchers whose delivery he
cannot hit. Patten Is fine short stop, and
though he made two errors, these do not repre-
sent his average fielding. After playing together
few days the team will be able to win games.
Arundel started in to pitch for st. Paul, but his
arm gave out in the fifth inning and O'Brien
finished in the pitchers position. The latter% was
hit safe but twice, and with sharp fielding no
runs would have been made off him Dealey was
hit with the ball late in the game and laid out for
few minutes, but he to the front again
aud pluckily played the game out. His playing
is creating favorable impression in St. Paul.
Werrick at short Is doing himself credit He
made two errors, to be sure, but it should be re-
membered that he accepted nine chances. DON
nelly's umpirng was better than that of the gen.
tleman who essayed to fill the umpires position
on the two previous days, but his calling of balls
and strikes was far from correct at times
The game opened with Winona at the bat and
the first three men failed to get the ball outside
the diamond. For st. Paul Carroll got his base
on a tumble by third, took second on Hengle's
hit to center field, and went out on felder's
choice on Barnes grounder to second, Barnes
going to second and Hengle to third. Rainey
didn't stop O'Briens hot grounder, and Hengle
scored, Barnes following him TO the plate ON
passed ball, oBrien going around to third and
home on Dunn's hit to right. Dealey reached first
on shorts tumble and Dunn was cut off from
catcher to third Dealey going to second, stealing
third, and going to the plate a muff by the
pitcher of thrown ball from the catcher Wer-
rick struck out. st. Paul scored two more runs
in the fifth inning. Carroll made a good hit to
center, went to second on passed ball, and tai
lied on Hengle's hit to right, the latter taking
second, committing larceny on third and scoring
on Barnes out at center. Winona scored three
runs in the third inning on base on balls by
Umback, hits by Lalor, Brewer and Rainey, and
an overthrow by Carroll to the plate. Two more
runs were secured by the visitors in the sixth in
ming on base on balls by Patten, hit by Con-
nors, and errors by Carroll and Werrick. Fol-
lowing is the score

Mills Burned, With Millions of
Feet of Tumhar.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 23.-Duluth suffered
tonight more seriously by fire than ever before.
The large saw mill of Little & Simonds and one
of hetbest in this city, caught fire at clock
this evening and was entirely consumed. From
the mill the flames went to the firm S planning
mill and destroyed that, and then to the lumber
yards consuming great quantity of lumber on
hand, being 7,5OO,0 feet II is now midnight
and the flames burning with undated fury.
Every effort was made to stay their progress,
but it was impossible. Before the fire had
burned long a stiff breeze sprung up, which
helped it along. The loss is now set at S125, 000
being 900 on the mill, and $4,000 on the
planning mill and the balance on the lumber.
The insurance was about $4,000. 1t is lmpos-
sible to get the companies at this hour. Little g
Simonds, owners Of the mills owned 100000
feet of the lumber, and Cutter & Gilbert $780,
600. The latter had $4,000 on their lumber,
making Little s. Simonds' insurance about $751;
900. The origin of the fire is not known.

Especial Telegram to the Globe. |


New York, Aug. 23.-The cutting of passen-
ger rates by the Trunk lines, which is now no
secret, had depressing effect ON stocks this
morning and the Vanderbilt properties and Erie
were rather pressed for sale. This was suficenl
to impart rather weak feeling throughout and
all stocks were lower during the first hour. Tele-
graph showed the effect of the sales of yesterday
and it Is thought that goodly amount was mar
keted above &c. The trading in Union Pacific
was the feature Of the morning and the stock on
liberal offerings fell per cent before midday.
The feeling was quite shaky for time. When
the bank statement made its appearance it showed
decrease in reserve Of 1000. This had no
effect on the course Of stocks, which were dull
previous to the announcement aad continued SO
after. About 2 o'clock fresh selling
movement set in, which carried
prices down lower than they reached dur
the earlier hours. Union Pacific
looked particularly toppy, as did Telegraph and
Northern Pacific preferred. The declines caused
considerable activity in all the leading stocks.
The final on Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is ex.
dividend per cent. The market at the finish
was weak and unsettled. The reaction of to-
day has been long looked for and that it should
come at last is very natural. Good stocks will
not probably suffer much.
A. III. Day says: 'sThe feature to-day has
been bad break in Union Pacific, which shows
decline of points from the highest yester-
day. The support lately in the stock was with
drawn this morning, creating rush to sell. 1
think Mr.. Gould has been free seller and hear
that shorts have settled Western Union has
had considerable decline, but other active stocks
no more than fair reaction. l am disposed to
look upon the sudden absence of support in
Union Pacific with suspicion, and advise caution
until the change of front is more clearly under
