An Iron Combine.

LOUISVILLE, January 22.-George
Hull, of this city, has been at work
several months arranging a combina-
ton among manufacturers of pig iron,
but for what purpose is not clearly
known. Hull is in the iron COM
mission and at present in New York
on business pertaining to the combina-
ton. Howard Tracy, man
ager of the company and Hulls
associate in his plans, stated he
did not feel at liberty to say
much about the combination, but he
asserted positively that the chief OBJ
ject was to benefit the iron industry of
the south by bringing to it a great in
crease of capital. He also declared
that the combination would have no
effect toward increasing the price of
iron; to consumers, the general idea
however is, that Hull is arranging u
trust to fix and control the output of
southern furnaces.

A Well Known Ranch Man Shows
His True Manliness.
Mr.. T. II. Gilroy of this city, has
gone to Purcell, IndianTerritory, TAX
ing with him Mrs. Mary Evans, who
is insane. Some time ago the woman
wandered from her home, was arrest
ed as a lunatic in Gainesville, and
told sad story. She had been raised
by Mr.. Stephen Gilroy and was treat
ed as one of the family. She met
Thomas Evans, they fell in love, and
against the wishes of her friends, ran
away and married. Since then, all
trace of her was lost until Mr.. II. HI.
Gilroy reading an account of the ar
rest came to the conclusion that the
poor woman was her, who had been
sister. He was then at Dallas and
went to Gainesville where q mutual
recognition ensued. Mr.. Gilroy had
Mrs. Evans properly clothed and
provided for, and wanted to hear her
husbands wishes, for the police had
already communicated with him. The
answer came. He was too poor TO send
the money or come, and asked the
officer to keep her kindly until he
could raise the money and come for
her. Mr.. Gilroy thereon took the
wife to her home in Purcell, I. r., and
intends to see that they are more
comfortably settled in the future.

NOT MISTAKEN AT ALL.

The LIGHT has received a lengthy
communication from a gentleman in
this city, an ardent admirer of Carl
Schurz, in which he characteriZes
the LIGHTS charges against Schurz
as unjust. The LIGHT speaks by the
card when it calls Schurz traitor to
the republican party, and knows
whereof it affirms. Carl Schurz was
elected to the national senate as re
ward for his work in Missouri in help
ing to defeat the reconstruction
measures of the old unionists of that
state. The republican party was di-
vided and the reactionary wing, aided
by the democrats, gained control of the
legislature and elected Schurz to the
senate. He opposed Grants nomina-
ton in 1868 on the ground of his mill
tary standing, and never gave his can
dtdacy any support after he was made
the nominee of the republican party.
He bolted the nomination of Grant in
1872 and went off with the Greelyites
in open hostility to the republican
party. In 1875 he refused to sanction
the nomination of Hayes until he was
promised a cabinet position and would
not take the stump even then until he
was paid $4,000 for his services. In
1880 he sulked the Garfield NOM
ination and only made one speech (his
New York business mems SPECIFY In
which he never said one good word for
theparty and for which milk and water
performance he was paid, so it was
said, 81 800. In 1884 he bolted the re-
publican nomination and worked
openly for the man whose moral rec
ord was as far below James G.
Blaine's as hades is below heaven.
Before leaving for Europe, in the last
campaign, he left four column arti-
Gle behind to be used in favor of
Cleveland, and so cut stick across the
water. He has always posed as rep
resentative German American and
traded on that capital. Conkling
called him with absolute truth and
admirable wit "the professional for
eigner," and the epithet suits him
like glove. 1t would be exceedingly
difficult, if not impossible, to single
out in the whole range of bastard re-
publicans any one man in whom the
qualities which inspire contempt are
so admirably mixed with the qualities
which engender disgust as
are found in Carl SchurZ. There are
many of the younger members of the
republican party who do not know the
professional foreigners record, and
the LIGHT would simply guard them
against giving the least credence to
his criticism upon republica men and
measures. The older men of the party,
who are not mugwumps, know Carl
Schurz TO their sorrow.

A RabbIs Heterodoxy-How Was
Received.

OMAHA, Jan. 22.-Mr. Herwich,
and four other Russian Jews were
arrested last evening for assault on
Rabbi Goldstein, in their synagogue
on 18th and Howard streets. The
rabbi recently advanced the theory at
meeting to his people, that it was
Simon Peter, and not Jesus, that was
crucified on Calvary. A number of
the congregation rushed toward the
pulpit, and he was obliged to run
through the back door to save him
self. On Sunday Goldstein preached
the theory again, at regular meeting
in the synagogue, when he was over
whelmed with such a volley of impre-
cations and the church furniture, as
convinced him he was still in the mi
nority. He escaped from his assail-
ants, however, and now six of the
leaders are behind the bars.

BOAT CAPSIZED.
Narrow Escape OF One of the
Sailors.

Friday afternoon an oyster boat
belonging at Newport, was blown
ashore and three of the crew took the
anchor into yawl boat to cast it from
the vessel, When the anchor was
thrown over, the rope wrapped twice
about the leg of one of the men named
Durham, of Newport, and carried him
over with it. The man went to the
bottom and had serious trouble in
extricating himself from his
perilous position, but he finally
did so and arose to the surface of
the water. The yawl boat was cap
sized and the other two men thrown
into the water. Fortunately another
yawi containing some men was near
by and were able to rescue the unfor-
tupate men, or they would otherwise
have been drowned.
