How They Appeared the Day
After Hearing the Verdict
A MOST AFFECTING SCENE
Between Coushlin and his Heart
Broken wlfe,,.Kunze Visited by
his sweetheart..A New Trial
Won't Make Things Worse,

CHICAGO, Dec, 17,-There was sound
Of weeping in the visitors cage Of the
Jail this morning, The friends Of the
four men who were yesterday convicted
called on them to-day and deplored their
fate, Mrs, Coughlin leaned against the
iron bars as though her heart would
break, She kept her handkerchief to
her eyes and wept, while her tall hus-
band whispered through the wide
screen such words OF comfort and conso.
iation as he could command, 0'Sulll.
vans sister paid the young man visit,
and she wept qHite as bitterly as Mrs,
COughlin over her brothers fate.
Kunze's sweetheart and a lady friend
visited the German suspect and Kunze
tried 10 cheer them. He had almost re,
covered from his lachrymose feelings Of
yesterday and evidently enjoyed the
company Of his lady friends,
Burke was all alone, no one called to
SEQ him and he did not seem to feel
hurt at hls isolation. He was the same
cool chap that be has been since the
trial opened, showing by his demeanor
either a wonderful nerve, or a reckless
brayado Of quiet kind. The fact that
oil the prisoners, now that the suspense
OF the trial and waiting for the verdict
has passed away, have taken heart Of
grace agalR and look forward with hope
to the possibilities Of a new trial.

ANOTHER PIG IRON ADVANCE.


Much Higher Prices VIII be Paid Next
Hoar-The Market.
PIrrsBuRon, Pa, Dec. l7.-Bessemer
pig iron Is still, according to the heaviest
consumers in this district, subject TO ad.
vance. Sales have been made this week
at s24 for spot delivery, and the i'm.
mediate supply in no wise exceeds the
demand.
In mill iron there Is great activity. 1t
Is now held at $l7 50a1S 90, aud one OF
the best authorities In the market said
to-day that 1t will sell at $50 within q
short time.
"There has been," said a large con.
sumer, more difference In the price OF
Bessemer and mill iron than the cost Of
production warrants, and the rise In the
last named article is partially only a clos
ing OF the unequal gap. However, there
will remain wide difference between
the two materials for the reason that the
demand for Bessemer is In excess OF that
for mill iron, and since Bessrlner ores
are scarCer than lower grades, this differ.
ence will remain so long as the present
demand continues, and that from The
present outlook Is indefinite.
"Therc iS another very cogent reassn
why the price Of mill iron should ad.
vance. II now costs nearly 81 per ton
more to produce ton Of pig metal than
before the upward movement. Ores are
higher, ireightrateshaye advanced, some
departments OF labor cost more, all ol
which, with minor things, makes up the
increase,
"ROr January, February aud March
EesSemer iron ls held at S94a25 10 The
valley, which means an advance Of near
ly 81 per ton In Allegheny county. Thil
means that there will be no backward
movement In the iron Or steel trade for
period estimated 70 be not less than thI
lirst six months Of the year 1900"
