THE NEW SOUTH.


Andrew Carnegie Writes Letter Prophesy-
ing n Prosperous Fufure-It VIII De
Pennsyivania's Chief Rival in the In
dustrinl Field.
BALTIMORE, March 2o-Andrew Carnegie
has written letter giving his views upon the
iron interests Of the South based upon his re-
cent investigating tour. Mr.. Carnegie states
that the first feature which impressed him was
the general excellence OF the plants IN the
South. The modern blast furnace is the prod
uct Of evolution. The pioneers in the business
had to build and rebuild these
Our Southern brethren have reaped the adj
vantage, and have become possessed all at
once OF the modern type. This remark applies
also to the machinery In the mines ana mode OF
opening, handling, facilities, etc. All is OF
the latest pattern. The character of the coal,
iron ore and Limestone, and the ease and cost
of mining it are all better, he says, than he had
expected TO find.
Cost of Production.
Upon the much disputed question Of the cost
of pig iron production in Alabama, Mr.. Car
negie' says that $40 ton for foundry iron,
which is the highest grade, is liberal esti-
mate. With good management andfor series
of years. some of the best located and best
managed furnaces may be able to do even bet
ter than this figure.
The ability to manufacture at this price must
give the Southern manufacturers large mar
ket for their pig. When the next stage comes
and they seek to manufacture the pig into
more advanced forms, believe it will be done
by converting pig into steel by means of Besse-
mer and open hearth basic processes, and ad-
vised our Southern friends when there to make
some experiments looking to this desirable end.
AS was to have been expected speculation

field. Some illadvised enterprises nave been
undertaken and considerable reaction may take
place. But this is only the froth upon wave
of solid wealth, and legitimate manufacturing,
prudently carried on in the Alabama and other
districts, Will meet its due reward.
Pennsylvnnia's Rival.
In concluding this letter Mr.. Carnegie says
that he regards the South as Pennsylvania's
most formidable industrial enemy in the
future. In referring to the industrial activity
throughout the South and investments that
Northern capitalists are now making in that
section it says:
Never was the union of Northern and South
ern resources in the development Of this sec
tion better illustrated than in the tact that New
England men are to build great city at Shell
by, Ala, where 200 people are now living. hay-
ing as a nucleus the Shelby furnaces. railroad
shops, etc., because it was from Shelby ore that
Shelby's furnaces made iron for the plates that
covered the Confederate gunboat Tennessee.
whose armorsides stood the incessant cannon
aiding of Farraguts feet at Mobile Bay during
the memorable naval engagement of August 5,
1864, as lew iron gunboats have ever done. In
this same town New England capital, backed
Dy New England brains, is to build great in
dustrial city-North and South no longer fight
ing against each other, but uniting to develop
the wonderful resources of this country.

An Ocean Race CLEARLY Begun,

The City of New York. the Aller and the Brit
annie, all three fast boats started for Europe at
nearly the same hour this morning. The City
OF New York left her dock ut 7;5G and sailed
down the North river with the Britannia close
behind, while the Aller brought up the rear.
The three vessels kept this order until they
were beyond Quarantine, when the Britannia
passed the City of New York The Britannia
passed Sandy Hook and out into the ocean at
$50, the City of New York at 9:35 and the Aller
at 945. The question now asked by per-
sons of sporting proclivities who are
interested in steam navigation is, in
what order will the racers reach the
other side of the ocean? Such think that an
ocean race has been begun, and that the Aller
will try to reach Southampton before, making
allowance for the extra distance, the others
reach Queenstown, while the Britannia will
try to get to Queenstown before the City of
New York

seoueI 70 \ Gho.t Story.

Brooklyn paper printed yesterday a har-
rowing tale Of beautiful young woman being
imprisoned by inhuman relatives in house
In Berkeley place, in that city, and so cruelty
treated that the neighborhood rang with her
piteous shrieks for mercy. The chief authority
for the story was the divorced wife of Jimmy
Mclaughlin, the jockey. who lives next door.
Each of the other neighbors, however, had
more or less thrilling version Of the horrible
occurrences in the dreadful house. So many
heartrending stories were told that before any
publication police captain visited the house
to find out what direfuf tragedy was being
daily and nightly enacted therein, but only got
well snubbed for his pains by the owner, a Mrs.
Pitcher. A relative of the latter's explained
the mystery to-day. There is a girl who sbrieks
in Mrs. Pitchers house. She is Mrs Pitchers
daughter, and she shrieks, not from i'll treat
ment, but because she has acute hysteria. Her
mother keeps her at home rather than send her
to an asylum. The exaggerated stories about
her probably originated from neighbor who
wants Mrs. Pitchers house for boarding
house.

Fearful Fate of a Young Baker.

Third avenue. Lenck, who was frying
doughnuts, spilled lot Of fat in the fire, and
in an instant the basement was in blaze. The
four bakers ran out of doors without waiting
to put on their outer garments. Lenck felt
cold when he reached the street. having moth
ing on but his trousers, shirt and paper hat, so
he went back, despite the remonstra ances of his
companions. for his coat and regular headgear.
He managed to make his way through the
smoke to the rear of the basement where they
were, but only to door, which, when he tried
to open it, came off its hinges from the effects
of the heat and fell on him. His dead body
was found under the door when the fire was
over. Death was due to suffocation.
