IRON INTERESTS.
Great Increase in the Production of
Pig Iron.

treat increase in the Production of
Pig Iron.
PHILADELPHIA, July 4th.-Statistics fur
nished by the American Iron and Steel AS
sociation show that the production of pig
iron in the United States for the first six
months in 1889 was larger than in any pre-.
ceding six months in the history of the
American iron trade. The stocks OF unsold
pig.iron on the 30th of June last were much
larger than at the close of any preceding
semi annual period for q number of years.
The total production of pig-iron for the
first six months of 1889 amounted TO lO7,- :
500 net tons of 1000 pounds or S.e67. .767
gross tons OF ., 240 pounds The increased
production was wholly in those kinds
which are used fo- general foundry and
mill purposes. There was a decrease in
the production of Bessemer pig-iron.
Nearly all the leading pig-iron States in
creased their production, including Oregon
and Washington Territory. Colorado shows
a slight decrease. The number of furnaces
in blast on June 30th was 2sS; out of blast,
293. Total, 5S1.
Iron manufacturers scout the story that
an English syndicate can or will buy up
the Steel industry of the United States.

the Use of Electricity.
From the Savannah News.I
For some months paragraphs have ap-
peared now and then in the newspapers
concerning new railway system by which
mails and light freight may be transported
with speed much greater than any yet at
tanned by steam-cars, and it was announced
the other day that arrangements were be-
ing made to put the system into operation.
The inventor is Mr.. David G. Weems, of
Baltimore, and the motive power is cleo
tricity. About $50 patents have been
given out in the United States and in the
other principal countries of the world.
covering the vital points of the system,
and among them is one for a principle in
tended to make it impossible for trains to
jump the track, however great the speed
may be.
The road, as rule, will be built on the
surface of the ground, and will have a
gauge of twenty-four inches, but in the
populous districts it will be elevated if
thought desirable The cost of construc-
tion will be about $500 mile. All trains
will be operated from generating stations,
about 100 miles apart, and there are
means by which operators are posted con-
corning the exact position of each train
from the time it leaves one station until it
reaches another. A feature of the system
is that no attendants are needed upon the
trains.
For the last year repeated experiments
of the system have been made at Laurel,
Md. The experimental road is circuit
of two miles, with twenty-nine changes of
grade, some of which are very heavy.
From the tests made it is thought that the
trains can be run on level track at the
rate of three miles minute, or $50 miles
an hour.
If the Weems system can be put into
successful operation it will bring about
revolution in railroad matters. People
who have witnessed the trials at Laurel
are confident that it will be a success.

RIvALED THE sH.Ro, CASE

A Chicago Claimant to a Dead Mans
Estate Squelched.
CHICAGO. July 24th.-A suit with many
peculiar features was decided here to-day
by Judge Knickerbocker.
Colonel Walter S. Babcock. supposed
bachelor, died in August. 1887, at Gardner,
Ills, from the effects of pistol shot re-
celyed under mysterious circumstances
which have never been cleared up. He
was on visit to Miss Sarah Dodge a
Gardner spinster.
He left an estate valued at 100000, and
his sister, Mrs. Hattie A. Martin, secured
letters of administration thereon.
Pending the settlement of the estate Mrs.
Naomi Fairchild, aged 60 years, and broken
IN health, began suit to secure a share of
the estate. claiming to be Colonel Babcock's S
widow. She set up that she was once con-
sldered very beautiful woman-in fact,
she was the belle of the whole of Wisconsin.
Colonel Babcock, she AYERS, fell in love
with her, and on October 7th, two DAYS
before the great fire of 1871, married.
The rcumstances OF the marriage, as
she related them, were very peculiar. He
took her TO house On Wabash avenue, in
this city, the location of which she cannot
tx, and there at midnight were made one.
Alter the ceremony he took her back TO her
house and left her, enjoining upon her TO
Keep the matter a secret This she did,
and was always known as Mrs. Fairchild
until after the Colopel's death.
On the trial Rev. W. II. Burns testified
that at the time mentioned, and under the
circumstances described, he had married
Mrs. Fairchild to some person, but whether
or not it was Colonel Babcock, he could not
affirm. On the top of this came the testi-
mony of Julia Britain, the claimants 8
sister, that 1t was she who was married at
night In the house on Wabash avenue, un-
der the circumstances described by Mrs
Fairchild.
The Court decreed that the claimant was
not the wife of deceased.
