The difficulties now surrounding the iron
market until the railways place their
orders Tor the present year. from Pitts
burg IL IL reported sub rosa that the rail
mills have gone down to So by way Of
an inducement, without, however, sccur-
ing any Of tine results hoped for by this
concession. The railways profess to be
firm In the stand they have taken viz,
20 pay no more than $50. the average
price paid in 1887 having been SGT. In
the mean time therailways may he iairly
said to be cutting off their own noses.
The furnaces in blast in the Mahoning
and Shenango valleys mt this writing
have AN estimated capacity 81 100000
tons Of pig iron a year. Approximating
the average freight charges paid To the
railwaysat $5a ton--counting the freight
on the ore, the coke, and the finished
product-it appears that in the single
instance here cited, the railways lose
$4,000 a week, being one weeks pro-
portion Of total annual freight charge
81 Si,O0O,0OO. These figures refer To
only about twenty-seven furnaces, while
there were in blast M all parts 81 the
United States At the beginning 81 this
year, 600 furnaces. This IL the season
for the beginning ~ the annual ore sales,
but this year there IL NO sign az yet OF
any transactions in this line. Ore pro-
ducers, in view ~ the absence Of any de-
maud, are not chasing around for
business, while those furnaces which are
ut work upon iron for mill and foundry
purposes and upon steel for merchant
use, are buying only two or three weeks
supply OF ore--bareIy sufficient to keep
ahead OF orders. The vessel men, who
up to within a short period, bulled the
freight market and claimed with com
tidencc that things were going their way"
are now beginning to realize the situation
and have dropped some of their tx
brilliant demands. The situation WAR

The net proceeds OF last evenings enter
tainment will be devoted to relieving the
wants of the Cheyenne poor this winter.
The money taken in during the week will
of course be used for the benefit of ST..
Mary's cathedral.
Last evening was 10y long odds the most
successful night of the fair. The Ladies
Relief Association will net over 500 from
the proceeds. The members of the cathe-
dral parish we're more numerous than on
any evening last week, and were alto
gether more liberal.
1t is safe to say that St. Mary's cathe-
dral will net 81, 300 from the bazaar.
Everything considered the fair was the
most successful ever held in Cheyenne.

divisions of the Denver & Rio Grande,

Mr.. Deuers many Cheyenne friends
will be delighted to learn of his good for

Mr.. Deuel's successor on the Union Pa

Mr.. Deuel. is one of the most popular
officials ever connected with the Union

Wherever known he has hosts of friends.

Of all the political rot and demague.
shysterism Which has been blandly thrown
out to catch votes, that statement of Mr..
Carey's. as reported by the Douglas Re
publican. that if the Mills bill became a
law there would be no more coal mined in
Wyoming except for local use. is the most
savory. Even entire free trade would no
effect the coal industry Of this territory.
We now have free trade with Iowa,
Kansas. Missouri, Pennsylvania and all
the coal producing states of the Union,
and yet our coal goes to all these states,
except possibly the last named. 1t is a
notorious fact that coal can be mined
cheaper in Wyoming than in any other
place in the world. If you must lie,
judge, to get back to congress, give us
something a little less transparent.

thorough business man, it took him but
a short time to realize the Importance of
Rock Springs as a commercial point. He
met with cordially everywhere, and left
US on Wednesday morning for Green

given him. Mr.. Organ made an excel

John Chase is once more on deck at
his hotel after attending the great race
meeting at Denver. He says that of the
horsemen gathered there from all quarters
not one disputes the Tact that Wyoming
is the coming horse country. They went
wild over Wanita, Ollie, Spartan Ned Bid
die and the runners. Spartan lowered
his record and Ollie and Wanita captured
everything in sight. Biddle did a heat in
2:24 and was a sure winner OF thousands
of dollars when lie went lame. A shoulder
was wrenched and the splendid animal
may never recover. All of the running
horses gave good accounts of themselves.
Mr.. Chase says that compared with
Cheyenne OF the basis of population, etc.,
the attendance was smaller and the bet

Method Of Extinguishing Fires.

An English fireman writes: From ex.
periments l have lately been making in a
small way believe that fires may be put
out by an admixture of plaster Of paris
and alum. Say, for instance, that fire
breaks out in a building or warehouse.
and that bag containing 500 or 600
pounds Of the above mixture be thrown
on the fire. | believe that it would COM
pletely subdue it.
''It may be considered at first sight that
it would be difficult to introduce a heavy
sack into burning building This could
be obviated if, after experiments, say by
the fire brigade, the ingredients were
found to act. would make it compul-
sorry to have an incombustible pulley
block projecting from every house or
building SO that the sack of composite
could be hauled up in a few minutes.
If a few sacks were always in readi-
ness at the nearest fire station. dashed to
a truck or barrow ready for use, many
valuable lives and much property would
be saved. London Fireman.

The opinion IL said TO he common
among sailors that the Firms are skilled
In magic. If the following story, which
Is told by seaman, is true, then these
people are more than n match for the
Pied Piper of Hamein in dealing with
rats. He was once shipmate with a Rus
sian Finn who had all the horn buttons
eaten off his oilskin clething by the rats.
So, on the next dog watch after he found
it out, the Finlander went to the fore
hatch, and, sticking his sheath knife up-
right in the deck, called upon oil the rats
in the ship to appear before him. Up
came all the rats, one aiseF the other,
and crawled before him in solemn pro-
cession, rat after rat, every rat in the
ship, until hundreds Of rats had passed
closed by his feet Then there was q
delay, and the Russian Finn called in
louder tone the same words he had called
at first. Instantly poor, little, perspir-
ing. bedraggled rat. with all its hair
turned the wrong way, lmped out Of the
hatchway, and went up TO the upright
sheath knife, and sawed its own head
