Heard Here.

John Trimmer Heard was in Soda
liza yesterday morning. He arrived
late Friday night and registered at
Sichers, but failed to call and pay his
respects to the BAzoo. He left at
9:45 A. NJ, for Upton, and from there
proceeded to Versailles, where he was
booked for a speech in the afternoon.
Mr.. Heard is looking remarkably
well, and judging from appearances,
he has not permitted hard work to get
the better of him. He wore high
silk hat and new suit of light-color-
ed clothing, and has evidently not for
gotten the art Of hand-shaking.

The Graveyard Speaks.

In commenting on an item clipped
from the BAzoo, the Jefferson City
Tribune of yesterday says: "The
Sedalia base ballists have been
humping the Smithton nine quite
frequently this season, but when il
comes to tacklinga a strong first-class
nine they realize that it is best al
ways not to bite off more than you
can chew The JEFF Citys are going
to beat the Sedalia snide ball players
on their own grounds, and are then
going to clean off the diamond in this
city with them. 1t is foregone con.
clusion that Sedalia's base ball banner
will trail in the dust of disgrace and
defeat On the Sd and 9th OF July"

CrawfOrd's Coal Prospects.

Col. John d. Crawford yesterday
received from his brother, Mr..
J. III. Crawford, of Colorado, two
spendid specimens Of anthracite coal
which were found in that state by him,
on the surface, where it had been
exposed for years. The coal is of an
excellent Quality, and is of easy ac-
cess, being only seven miles distant
from the survey of two lines of rail-
way. Mr.. Crawford writes, in his
opinion, the supply is inexhaustible,
and he thinks there is millions in it =.

the nearest stable was, but he had no
time to wait for an answer.
On discovery of his escape, the
alarm was given and several parties
started out in pursuit of the escaped
prisoI er, Mayor Stevens having offer
ed a reward of SO for his capture.
SEARCHING THE CITY.
The whole police force were sum-
moned and a thorough search was
made, while Marshal Jackson and
Andy Shobe went out south as far as
'Doc' Middleton's, but learning that
they were on the wrong scent, they re-
turned to the city. Up to a late hour
last night nothing had been heard of
the young man, and the belief is pref
ty general that he has made good his
escape.
HIS DESCRIPTION.
That Corps is an old-time thief, none
who saw or conversed with him will
doubt for an instant; and as his crack
ct" was comparatively new, he had
no trouble in working" the
people of Sedalia. He is
about % or 26 years old, 5 feet 6
inches in height, of rather heavy
build, and slough" in general APP
pearance. On his arm, in India ink,
is his name, sc. Corps" and the
picture of a monument on a large
base.
When arrested, the $40 stolen
from Walkup's residence could not be
found, and for time the police were
at loss to know what had become of
it. Last evening, however, it was
learned that Corps lost $50 gambling
Friday night, and it is presumed a
portion of the money was that stolen
from Mr.. Walkup's house.

Steel Making in the South.

Under the heading The South May Now
Make Steel, the Baltimore Sun, in noting
the decision of the court in favor of Mr..
Jacob Recess basic steel patents against
the Bessemer people, says
las the ores of the South, containing
phosphorus, are well suited for the basic
and not for the Bessemer process, the de-
cision dissolving the injunction is of the
first Importance to that section"
For dense ignorance of Southern pro-
gress commend us to the Baltimore Sun and
to the above at same time. If the South
has no Bessemer ores, why is it that a
small Bessemer plant has worked so salts
factorily in Chattanooga, that a 150to on
Bessemer rail mill is now under construc-
ton in the same placer Why should the
Old Dominion Nail and Iron Works. of
Richmond, spend money for 200 ton Bes-
semer plantas they arenow doing if there
are no BeSsemer ores? And why should
Nj. de Bardelten erect an immense
plant at his new town of Bes semer, near
Birmingham What becomes of the mex
haustible Cranberry iron Mine of N . c.,
with its fine Bessener ores of which $4,000
tons have lately been sold for making Bes-
semer' stee] and the Southwest V Virginia ores
that Prof, McCreath, of Pennsylvania,
long since pronounced suitable for Besse-
mer steel? This talk of no Bessemer ores
| in the South has just about as much
| foundation as the old belief that the south
had no coking coal equal to Connellsville.
There are, Of course, more ores suitable
| for basic steel IN the South than for Bes-
semer, and the decision in favor of Mr.
Reese may prove of great value to that
section but to speak of the South as hay
| ing no Ressemer ores and only able te
commence on steel making. now that this
decision has been reached, shows surpris-
ing ignorance of what the past twelve
months have developed in the South. A
year ago the SIN might have been justified
in making such statement, but the South
moves too rapidly to use to-day what
might Lave been thought correct last year
