THE NAIL PRODUCT OF 1885.

The complete reports of the American
Iron and Steel Association show the total
production of cut nails manufactured IN
1885 was 6,696,sl5 kegs Of 100 pounds
each, against 1881, 1873 kegs in 1884 and
1862 1871 kegs in 1888. The production
of 1888 was the largest ever attained. as
compared with 1884 there was falling of
in 1885 Of 884,564 kegs, or over IL per
cent, while as compared with 1883 there
was falling of in 1885 Of l 1922 kegs,
or almost IA per cent
The decrease in production is chiefly
owing to the nailers strike that began last
June in the western nail factories. The
effect can be seen from this table giving
the production of nails east Of the Ale
sheny mountains, including Virginia, for
the past three years, as compared with the
production in the West and South in the

GOVERNOR OGLEsBY, Of Illinois, Is
greatly blamed by St. Louis papers for hs
cowardly and vscillatiug policy Of not re-
spending 10 the call Of the Sheriff in East
St. Louis to send fOrceto protect property.
1t ia claimed that as the State refused and
the Sheriff was unable, the company was
driven to the desperate sxpsdient OF I'M
porting rough and daring men and taking
the matter into their own hands, with the
result that occurred last week. 1t is claim
al that such would never have disgraced
East st. Louis if the Governor had done his
duty. There is doubtless more truth than
poetry 10 this.

Another Kentucky Battle.

LOUISVILLE, April ia Courier.
Journal special tells of bloody battle
fought in the mountain wilds of Har-
Ian county, Ky, on March 26th. John
Day and three Mineard Brothers and
two Napier brothers were on their
way to log rolling, when they were
met by Isaac Day, Jacob and Sol Burk-
hardt and Silas Bogg. They were all
armed with rifles and sheltering them
selves behind trees began firing. The
firing lasted half an hour, when both
parties retired. Sol Burkhardt was
killed outright, Jake Burkhardt was
seriously wounded and Sllas Bogg was
shot through the head, but not fatally.
The parties have surrendered and are
now in Jail. The trouble grew out of
the arrest of Isaac Day, charged with
stealing. His brother went on his
bond, but surrendered him and the
fight resulted.
