LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2O.-The pris-

wholesale attempt to escape last even.
ing about dusk. Ed. Powell, a river
pirate, had sawed out several bars Of the
large cage which surrounds the cells and
thus set nearly dozen prisoners at lib
erty, two Of them being murderers.
Once outside Of the case It was easy to
get out on the roof by means Of an open
sky.light, and thence the prisoners in.
tended 10 climb down 10 the ground by
an iron pipe. A little girl saw the men
coming out on the roof and gave the
alarm to the sheriff, who Is also the
jailer. Sheriff Hay seized a revolver
and ordered the prisoners to return TO
their cells, but they refused, and Powell
slid down the pipe and escaped. The
other prisoners were huddled together
under the sky.light, and the sheriff, TO
trighten them, he said, fired at them.
Dick Jones received the shot Just back
Of the left shoulder and fell, and the
others then returned To their cells. The
bullet passed into Jones left lung, and
the doctor thought last night that the
wound was fatal. Jones Is q house
breaker, and his name is an assumed
one. Powell has not been recaptured.

SOUTHERN IRON OUTLOOK.
Andrew Carnegie Gives HIS Views upon the
Great Interests.

Andrew Carnegie Gives HIS Views upon the
Great Interests.
BALTIMORE, March 2O,-The Manuiac-
tureB' Record Of this week will publish a
letter from Andrew Carnegie, giving his
views upon the iron interests OF the
South, based upon his recent investiga-
ting tour. Mr.. Carnegie states that the
fist feature which impressed him was
the general excellence Of the plants in
the South. The modern blast furnace
Is the product OF evolution. The char
acter Of the coal, iron ore and limestone,
and the ease and cost OF mining are all
better, he says, than he expected to
find. Upon the much disputed question
Of the cost Of pig iron production In
Alabama. Mr.. Carnegie says that $40 q
ton for foundry iron, which Is the high.
est grade, is a liberal estimate. With
good management and for a series OF
years some OF the best located and best
managed furnaces may be able TO do
even better than this figure. The ability
to manufacture at this price must give
the Southern manufacturers o large mar
ket for their pig. When the next stage
comes and they seek 10 manufacture
their pig into more advanced forms, ]
believe Il will be done by converting pig
into steel by means ot Bessemer and
open hearth basic processes, and l ad.
Yised our Southern friends when there
to make some experiments looking to
this desirable end.
