ESPECIAL Tr1reRAM 70 THE D1srArcH. !


SCoTTDALE, February 26.-The kick in
prices of the iron men and the consumers be-
ing stocked up and ordering sparingly is
just beginning to tell on shipments from
the Connellsville region, as they were re-
duced several hundred cars last week.
Despite this fact the trade cannot be said to
be in a much depressed condition, as over
5000 cars OF coke is a good weeks work,
and the operators do not expect shipments
to fall much below that. Ifal of the ovens
of the Connellsville region, 14,500, were
running full. six days per week, 1t is said there
would not be market for the output at any
time save when strike is anticipated.
The coke trade will take squirt In q lew
weeks, as the stock on hand is melting away
and it will need replenishing.
The shipments last week were hindered by
the works of the H. c. Frick, Overholt, Stauf-
fer and Keister Coke Companies laying off one
day. About all the rest of the works operated
in full There is full supply Of cars to afford
transportation.
The Western shipments have fallen off over
700 cars. but Pittsburg shipments give slight
increase. There is fair demand for coke
from the East, but shipments have suffered
from the frequent blockades. Nearly all of the
furnaces west of Pittsburg are now taking
coke, but in small orders.
WHEN BIG STAKES WERE MADE.
1t is reliably stated that some of the opera
tors have made contracts with furnace men be-
low S. An operator said last night, speaking
on coke: From 1872 to 1877 coke was selling at
SIS cents per ton and there we're only about 900
ovens in the coke region. In 1873 it went to
81 so and remained there for about six months.
1t was at that time that the Mcclure Company
made their big stake. They made a contract
with the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company to
furnish them 6, 900 cars Of coke during the year
at So rs per ton. Coke went Gown again the
end Of the year, but the Cleveland Rolling Mill
Company stuck to their contract and the Nc
Clure Coke Company must have cleared So, 600
on that deal They purchased the Hazelwood
Coke Works, near Mt. Pleasant, with the
money. Frick lost considerable money at that
time, as he bought up the coke of the small op-
orators by contracting with them for six
months. He paid them 81 so per ton and coke
was away down again at the expiration of the
six months"
The Pennsville Coke works will probably be
idle couple days of this week on account of
the breaking of the shaft
Shipments last week averaged about l,12O
cars per day and were distributed as follows:
To points west of Pittsburg $3.50 cars; to Pitts
burg, $50 cars; to points east of Pittsburg l500
cars. Total, 6,710 cars, decrease of 525 cars
over the week previous.

tainable partially agrees with that ct
one Or" Charles L. Blood, OF Boston'
fellow-convict of Sawtelle's, and VIII
whom Sawtelle has been more or less
intimate since his release. Blood IS
missing from Boston at present.
On Wednesday evening the clerk OF
the hotel recognized Bridge as Saw
telle, from the photograph in an even
ing paper, and on Thursday caused his
arreS. Sawtelle admitted his identity,
and was taken to Rochester Thursday
night by Captain White and Special
Officer Glidden, who had been sent from
Boston. On the way to Rochester Saw
telle refused to make any statement ex-
cept to say that Hiram was all right and
would turn up at the right time.
Sawtelle was arraigned Yesterday at
Rochester on the charge of murder, and
was committed to Jail at Dover until
March Il, without bail. He passed
restless night, and has not as yet been
told of the discovery of his brothers
body.
Early yesterday morning Officer
Shields went to the station house and
ordered Sawtelle to remove his clothing,
which was infinitely examined. Upon
the shirt, drawers and trousers blood
spots were found, in some cases as large
as silver dollars. The spots bore evil
dence of having been rubbed in an at
tempt to remove them. A searching
party was organized and more than four
hundred men mustered. They divided
into squads to search for the body. In
this vicinity had already been found a
bloody handkerchief marked rs, and
a shoe and part of coat believed to
have belonged to Hiram. Patches of
blood had also been found on the
snow and also a paper in which
the axe had been wrapped. All
these things led to the belief that the
body must be in the vicinity, and this
proved to be the case. Within ten feet
of the spot where the paper had been
found the searchers found evidence of
the ground having been recently broken,
although it was frozen hard. The
ground had been leveled off and
branches thrown over the hastily impro-
vised grave to conceal it. Clearing the
rubbish away, the searchers began to
dig and three inches below the surface
they came upon the toes of the victim,
and as the lower limbs were gradually
exposed it was seen that the body was
inclined downward, the upper portion
being about sixteen inches under
ground.
