Invasion of Southern Ore.

Alabama pig iron is working its way
into the Pittsburg market. The Penny
Press of that city, on Friday last, says:
"Southeru furnacemen have at last
scored a point in Pittsburg. Several
large iron mills are now using more or
less pig iron made in Birmingham, Ala,
and In Tennessee. This iron is selling,
delivered in this city, at from SIS to
SIS so per ton-fifty cents less than the
price of home iron. Furnacemen here
are naturally somewhat alarmed. They
do not know what will be the result
They have been fighting the introduce
ton Of Southern iron here for couple
of years, and many manufacturers were
led to believe that it was Of an inferior
qnality; so much so that the reduced
price at which it was offered would be
no inducement to use it. This has not
proved strictly true. 1t has not been
used to any great extent so far, but it
has given satisfaction, and some very
large sales have been made within the
past month";" Commenting on this the
Philadelphia Record says: "To add to
the misery of this Southern invasion ore
has advanced. coke has advanced and
freight rates have advanced, and the
price of pig iron cannot be advanced
unless Alabama is shut out of the Pitts
burg Market"

SENATOR BLAIR, Of New Hampshire,
has just been caught in contemplate
trick, quite worthy, however, Of its au-
thor. He took it on himself to make a
report in regard to the Presidents veto
of some pension bills, In which he made
most bitter attack on the executive.
He palmed this paper off as report
from the Committee on Pensions, but
Senator Camden showed that only one
other member of the committee besides
Blair knew anything Of it. Even the
Republican Senate was 90 Disguised
with the deceit Of the dodge that 1t con-
temptuously returned all the papers to
the committee for proper action.

The use of natural gas in the manu-
factories OF Pittsburg has done away
with the consumption of lS9, 800 bushels
Of coal day. In $50 working days,
which is considered n year by nanufac-
turers, the whole amount Of coal dis
placed would run up to AZ ,450, 900 BUSH
els. Calculating 100 bushels to be an
average days output for coal miner,
it would take 1900 coal miners to dig
this coal, but altogether the use Of natu-
raj gas has thrown about 5000 men out
of work in this region 1t required the

At the time OF the erection of the old
Hale House in Charleston, in 1872, one
of the bricklayers named White impris-
oned live toad in the brick wall. Re-
Gently while demolishing the old walls
his toad.ship was released, AMI, after
shaking itself, it gave frightened look
at the bystanders and hoped of AS live

Moorefield had the youngest brass
band in the world there on Decoration

II, the bass; Dick Barr, aged 10, tenor;
John, aged II, first alto; Burn. aged 8
second alto, and George, aged 7, beats

Near Charleston, this State, George
w. Beasley killed his wife by cutting
her throat last Friday. Her body was
found OH the public highway, and Beas-
ley cannot be found. Excitement runs
high, and should the accused man be
found he will be hung to the nearest
tree. A number of determined noun
taineers are after him. He was acquit-
ted for killing Henderson Moore few
months ago. Moore was caught in Il
compromising condition with Beasley's
wife.
A sneak thief entered the residence Of
Frank Moore. on Stewards run, Richie
county, Il few days ago, and stole fivc
thousand five hundred dollars Ia specie
and two thousand in bills. 1t Is not
known exactly when the money was
taken, as Mr.. Moore had it hid in three
separate places, and had not looked at it
for two weeks. He says three different
parties had cognizance of the presence
of the money, and one of them must
have taken it during brief absence of
the owner.
Bowen, the supposed murderer, at
Taylor's tannery, near Romney, last
May, and who is now in Jail in that town
is in great danger of being lynched. The
Cumberland Times says: "The danger
that menaces Bowen, the alleged Rom
ney murderer, at the hands Of the
lynchers is not yet over, and the proba-
bility is that some fine morning Jailer
Polling will wake up and find himself
minus prisoner, whose remains will
be found upon someone of the neighbor-
ing trees. The class Of men who have
taken this in hand are determined to
carry out their intention of lynching
him. Bowen owes his life to the blab-
bling of some few men, who attended a
nicnir in fredericksburg Gan. and, be-
coming intoxicated, betrayed the whole
plan quite unconsciously. 1t has been
stated that the picnic which was held
was intended to be but blind, behind
which arrangements could be made for
the capture Of Bowen from the hands OF
the jailer, and owing to the indiscretion
Of the men who were drunk, Is alone
the cause Of its not having been carried
out"

SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER does not COM

reason ne blurts out some very unpala-

tive sessions, he told Malone, Edmunds
and Hoar that they said things about
Mr.. GooGe and other persons seeking
confirmation that they would not dare
to utter In public. He directly accused
Edmunds of untruthfulness, and said
some very plain and bitter things to his
former associates.

IT looks as though the Republicans of
this State intend to try some of the Ohio
styles Of politics in West Virginia. A
confidential circular was recently issued
to a number of Republicans and Green
hackers, calling for a secret meeting in

lar fell into the hands of the Democratic
newspapers, and the scheme being ex-
posed fell through. We hope that pol
iticians Of all shades will lot introduce
any Ohio methods in this State. Fight
