AN OLD SENSATION REVIVED.
Tad Prior is Arrested For the Killing of
Banker Mead

WAUPAoA Wis, Nov. 24.-The
mystery that so long surrounded the muir
der Of H. c. Mead the wealthy banker of
this city, bids fair 10 be solved after eight
years. The crime, which is the Smell case
of Wisconsin, was committed on the even.
ing of October 8, 1882. Several arrests
have been made in the case, but up to the
present time the detectives had followed
false scent, and their work resulted in
naught. Late Saturday afternoon howev-
ever, Tad Prior, blacksmith, was ar
rested at Amigo, this state, charged with
the murder, and the authorities claim that
they have evidence sufficient to convict
him, Prior was employed as night watch
IN this city on the night that Mead was
slain, and suspicion rested upon him at
that time. He was virtually taken in
custody shortly after the crime was com.
mitted, but the examination brought out
nothing directly connecting him with the
murder and he was not held. Some years
ago Prior removed to Amigo, and worked
at his trade, which was that of black

One of the contrivances to humbug wool

oft-repeated assertion that there aae varie-

of truth in any part of this allegation.

over 81 900 Let us do something and
save ourselves from ridicule. The board
then worked industriously on the formula

from the national commission.
Among the matters proposed by the
different members were: An administra-
ton building for the use of the board on
the fair grounds; no separate building for
the exhibition of womens work; the
salary of the secretary to be $1,000; that
every exhibit be accompanied with state

NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
Effects of the New Tariff Law on Tin Plate
Manufacturing.

At Savernake, Va, preparations have
been made for the establishment of a new
American industry. English and Ameri-
can capitalists have combined their capital
to open the rich tin ore mines on the
properties they have purchased, to build
smelling works, rolling mills and all need
ed accessories, and to engage on a large
scale in the manufacture of tin plate. They
expect, within twelve months, to make a
weekly output of $500 boxes. This is
the first practical reply the south makes
to those congressman who fought for free
trade during the discussion over the tariff
bill. Before the ink of the presidents
signature to The tariff bill was fairly dry,
preparations for the TN Plate industry at
Savernake were begun, and they will be
pressed forward to a finish with all the
power that ample capital and experienced
management can command, and aroun
this main industry will grow up countless
others based upon the tin plate as the
main material There will soon be on the
market Virginia tin plate free from lead
made cut Of steel plates manufactured of
iron from Virginia mines. and of tin
smelted from the ores of Savernake. Thus
Virginia comes to the front as the leader
in this new American industry, and re-
Dukes the ignorance and conceit of so called
statesmen who ridiculed the proposition
that tin plate would never be made from
American ores.
tits definitely stated that the new tin
plate manufacturing industry will be
started in the North Side mill of the Hi
nois Steel company at Chicago. A force
Of nearly a thousand men could be worked
at the tin plate manufacture. but if the en-
terorise is conducted on anything APP
preaching the scale contemplated, new
mill will have to be built. There is no
reason. " remarked a prominent ironman,
why Chicago should not manufacture all
the tin plate used in this country. | be-
lieve that in FIVE years, and possibly two,
we will make tin plate in this country on
methods and al rate of production of
which the Eng ISL never dreamed. The
reason for this les in American push and
enterprise. and in the greater activity and
ability of American workmen. y

running busily From all sections of the
country the revival of the worsted industry
is announced. In town in Pennsylvania
three worsted factories shat have been
silent for months were put In operation
this week, giving employment to 1000
persons. In Maine several wooden mills
that were silent have resumed work and a
large wooden mill, that has been for some
time building near Worcester, will short

good showing especially when it is cor
