WITNESSES POISONED.

Vnree Prisoners in Columbus Jail

TIE excitement over the exposure at the
palo penitentiary has reached high pitch
There is still flow of additional exposure
from that place as to stealing and various
abuses, but the sensation is to get rid of inn
portant witnesses, which occurrence the
prison Officials have succeeded in keeping
quiet until now. Last Saturday night John
Francis, F. W. Nye and J. W. Campbell
three prisoners who have make important
huluaVlts and are the principal witnesses in

denly sick, and the prison physicians were

A peculiar feature of this attempt is the
Iac5 That while other prisoners have been be.
iore the grand jury, neither of these three

holding the strongest testimony for the last.
The Warden has prohibited for the present
an audience to any one with the prisoners
who are witnesses in the pending casee, and
has lodged them where they an be specially
guarded. All of the ex.ofiicials who are
under fire are here looking out for develop

sron so Per Cent. Higher Than This

The activity in the demand for iron still
continues in the E,st, and has resulted in an
average advance in prices CT 30 pei cent over
those prevailing at the same tim, last year.
All the furnaces ere busy an preparation is
Being made to largely increase the capacity
OF many OF them to meet the rapidly growing
demand for their product. Notwithstanding
the substantial advance in pr.ces even higher
figures are talked Of as the fall season adj

greater:
The Penusy lSania railroad officials state
that they are Without suft' Gent equipment u

not catch up, although every shop they have
is taxed to its utmost in making equipment,
and large contracts have been given to outs
side parties to make cars. The Baldwin
LOCOMOTIVES Works report that the demand
for locomotives was never greater than now
and that they are taxed to their utmost to
meet the demand upon them, turning od5 At
the rate of two locomotive, per day.
The most tangible evidence of incre lsiny
prosperity in business is the active demand
for the steam making fuels; Both anthracite
and bituminous coal are in better demand
than ever before, and the surplus of these fuels
are absolutely inadequate to meet the de-
mands for than. 1t is true that their scarcity
Is in sottie measure caused by the lack of
equipment With the carrying companies, but
the demand Is healthy, AMI tn ere is no Doubt
that the full amount of anthracite for this

Railroad companies have made their alliance
