chased over a hali-million crowns in for

dealers report an advance of 81 On pig
metal and 50 cents on ore within the past
twenty-four hours. This has been brought
about by the steadily Increasing demand
for these commodities, especially here, and
is the first apparent substantial evidence
OF revival OF the iron trade. Business
in this city is reported good. The mills
are booking plenty of orders at present,
and through the use and economics OF
natural gas they have decided advantage
over the trade in general outside Of the
Western Pennsylvania field.

DABISG DAYLIGHT ROBRERIES
OF Ladies in One OF the Most Fashions
BILE CHARTERS of Chicago

CHICAGO, December "a number of
daring daylight robberies of ladies have
recently been perpetrated In the vicinity
of prairie avenue and Tventy-Second
streets, which have not been reported at
all by the police. No arrests have been
made, and in the circle of families in which
the outrages are known, the ladies go out
upon the street in terror. Not long ago a
lady was knocked down early in the after
noon and robbed just opposite the Jewish
synagogue, on Indiana avenue. Two well
dressed men rushed around the corner,
grabbed the bag, tore it from her and dis
tppeared down sn alley. The lady was
pvercome with fright and was with diff
Guilty gotten TO her home. A few days ago,
he wife of rich Board OF Trade broker,
Mrs. r. W. Robson, was attacked by these
grroters directly opposite the residence OF
Hr. John B. Sherman, at the corner of
Pra rie avenue and TGenty-First streets.
Her experience was precisely similar to
that of the lady who was robbed opposite
the Jewish Synagogue. Two well-dressed
garroteTs rushed around from the alley,
core the wallet che was carrying from her
hand, and then disappeared down the ell
ley again. Within radius of few blocks
nt the scene of the garrotiDgs, dc zen
millionsires have their homes. 1t is be-
lieved that the robbers are two colored
coachmen, who issue from and disappear
IN their stables in the alley. Some recent
Developments have shown that crooks
have obtained places as coachmen, and
these men in both recent cases have been
well-dressed and not OF the order Of ordi-
nary "sand-bsggers." Both crimes have
been committed in broad day light and as
early as o'clock in the afternoon.

He has done nothing better than this.
The character is one that calls for display
of true dramatic ability and force, some
thug that Mr.O'Neill possesses in high
degree, and his Performance is satisfactory
in every way. His company is above the
average, and the strong points of the old
time and powerful melodrama are brought
out and made the most of. Few melo.

ton of Dumas's greatest novel.

NEW YORK, december 3.-This evening
a tug started down the river with scoW
lashed TO its side. The scow was freighted
with stone for ballast. At He'll Gate a
strong food tide was too much for the
tug, 80 she put on extra s'eam to aid in
stemming the current, when the boilers
exploded with a terrific force. The sup
position is that the extra pressure ofsteam
was too sudden and caused the disaster.

which there were at the time of the acci.
dent four men. The health boat was at
the scene of the explosion soon after it
occurred, but found no trace of any Of the
