AN EXCITING EPISODE.
Wayne Meveagh's SON Resents an I'm
putattoD.


WASHINGTON, Feb. An exciting
episode occurred ON a train approaching
the city from New York few nights ago.
Two men, sitting together, were discuss
Ing politics. Both of them were Republi-
cans, and one of them a Judge Of national
reputation. The Judge was doing the
principal part OF the talking, and was
espec ally severe on the Garfield admins
tration, and denounct every membe Of
Garheld's Cabinet. "Wayue McVeagh |
know personally" he said SO TO be heard
several seats away over the noise Of the
running ira n, land / know him TO be
a ID rascal" There sat alone in a seat
just in front OF the two men a young man,
who was living his attention to a news
paper. The loud and severe remarks
about Gen. McNeagh, however, aroused
hm m. and be looked around apparently to
sa isty himself as to which Of the two men
had made it. The Judges excited express
sion made it an easy matter 10 fix the re-
sponsibility for the language. The young
man then got up, and, walking out into
the aisle OF the coach, leaned over the
Judge. and SAID in a pleasant voice, 81

mark about Wayne McVeagh :"
You heard me say that in my opinion
Wayne McNeagh was y id rascal"

"Whv, what is it to you, sirf" demand
ed the judge, speaking with lump in his
throat.
"Enough, sir, to warrant me in repeat
ing my assertion that you are a id
cowardly Harp
The JUDGES face whitened to a ghostly
hue, but be made no reply.
The young man then resumed mis- seat,
and turned again 10 his newspaper.
Presently the Judges companion re-
paired TO the smoking car, and in few
moments the young man followed him.
II want TO explain matters to you" the
young man said; because you did not take
part In the denunciatiOn OF Gen. Nc
Veagh. l am Gen. McVeagh's son, and
thought it fit occasion to expose the
cowardice of the BLACKBOARD who was as
sailing his character"
The two shook hands, and young Nc
Veagh returned to his seat in the rear car.

BANKING THE FURNACES.
Widespread FfT-ct Of the Coke Work
ers' strike In PennsvlVHntA,

PITTsBURG, Feb. s. The longer the
strike IN the coke region lasts to more
! interest II Is exciting in the minds Of the
iron men. So far no Pitt~burg mill has
been required to close down, but as fur
mace after furnace 10 being banked the
/ date Of closing seems near at hand. A
prominent pig-Iron man asserted to-day
that by March l, if the coke-workers'
strike continues, there will be no pig-iron
on the market, and American manufac-
turers will have TO buy English iron.
SERIOUS OUTLOOK.
CLEVELAND, o., Frb 5.-Owing to the
| continuation OF the strike in the coke re-
! glons the prospects Of a famine In the pig
/ iron market are becoming more serious
daily. The supplies Of coke and pig iron
| In the market are growing constantly
| less, and iron men assert that pro]onga-
! ton OF the trouble for a few weeks would
| almost paralyze the iron business in Ohio
/ and Penn-ylvania. A prominent iron
manufacturing says there is very little
coke IN the city. and should the strike be
| prolonged the effect will be very serious.
A HUMANE sHERIFF.

ton 10 the coke regions was not materi-
ally changed to-day. The writs Of eject
ment issued Yesterday have not been
served, Sheriff Stewart refusing TO evict
the strikers while the cold weather lasts.
He says if the operators want the Hun
garans turned out they will have TO do II
themselves. Several works we're in ope-
ration to-day and others are preparing to
resume.
FIRES BANKED.
FREDERICK, Nd, Feb. 5.-In conse-
quence Of the strike of the Pennsylvania
