MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES

ESPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE DISPATCH,
MEADvILLE, Sept 7:-Meadville has
been aroused for some six weeks over the
question of placing flags on the public
school buildings The School Board re-
fused 20 put flags on the buildings or accept
them from the Jr Q. U. A. NJ. The Cath
olic priest here, Rev. ]. ]. Dunn. publicly
thanked them and expressed himself as op-
posed to putting up the flag. Public indig-
nation became so strong, however, that
the Board was compelled to order the flags
as the Jr. Q, e. A NJ. had requested. Rev.
Mr.. Dunn then announced that he proposed
to have flags on his school first, and to that
end invited the School Board and the G. A.
r. TO put them there to-day.
During the whole day knots of men were
gathered on the street corners, yowing they
would not allow him to carry out his
scheme, and mp to the time of his exercises
ut P. NJ. it looked as if there would be seri-
Gus trouble. 1t only needed leader to have
started it. The Jr. o. U. a. NJ. was very ac-
tive in trying to keep the peace and cele-
brated their victory in forcing the flag up
by firing the National salute. The exercises
were conducted by only 80 out of 200 men,
oers of the q. A. r., and Rev. t. J.. Flood, a
former Methodist minister, assisted by Q.
81. Hollister, Postmaster.
Many foreign-born citizens, especially the
0rangemen, profess to be indignant because
the flag is so placed on the parochial school
that the cross on the building completely
overshadows it. They propose to compel
the Catholics to place the flag above all, and
vow they will use force if necessary. The
trouble is by no means over, and it is only
by the hard work of the more conservative
men that fights were prevented. Some of
the Protestants charge that a number of
Catholics have conspired to secure revenge
upon prominent Baptist clergyman here
for preaching sermon against them.

Sad 1nroads Made in Them by the With.

BRADDoCK, Sept 7-[SpeciGL ]-Josept
Williams the son of an extensive tin manu-
facturer in England, has just arrived here
and in an interview, said: "The outlook in
England is gloomy, especially in the iron
and steel industries. The staple production
is tin bars. The rail trade is comparatively
ruined. The largest mills are running but
two and three days week. The reason for
the condition of trade being so deplorable is
that England has lost all her American steel
rail orders the American mills producing
sufficient to supply the demand. Unless
other fields open, such as China or the
Euphrates valley, England as an iron pro-
ducer, stands no chance of being her former
SELF
1.-THE mining situation in Wales in particu-
lar, is at its best. Miners make from SIS to
$50 week. The tin industries. after a
months shut down, have resumed opera
tions.
"The Manufacturers in Wales are becom-
ing reconciled to the fact that through the
new tariff imposed by the Mckinley bill,
America is determined to manufacture her
own tin, and are somewhat chary in build
ing additions or making any efforts to start
new mills. The people who own large tin
mills in Wales see that America will event
ually be able to make her own tin. In Wales
some of the wealthier tin manufacturers
have had a monopoly in the production for
years, and have made large profits and are
Indifferent concerning future prospects.
The only steel rails now being manufactured
are for the British isles and their own COL
onies. They have and are still making
hundreds of tons annually of steel ties and
are shipping them to India to replace the
wooden ties under the railway tracks, which
have been eaten out by ants.
1.-The English are very much astonished at
the general output of blast furnace iron and
Bessemer steel in this country. In fact,
some of them would not credit the state
ments of Americas great production unless
its increase over England and Wales to
more modern IDEAS. The mills of this
country have the greatest facilities and
despatch adapting themselves to the most
modern requirements of the timesn

APANTHER NEAR sWIssvALE.
1t Is Seen by Many Residents, but Hunters
Fail to Find 1t,

BRADDocK, Sept. 7.-[Special. l-Tne good
people OF the village of Swissvale are pass
ing sleepless nights now. They have rea-
sons to believe that a genuine panther is
prowling about the neighborhood, but a
week has elapsed since this dangerous ami
NAL was first heard from, since which time
il has been seen by several of Swissvale's
citizens. The animal is described as being
about the size of Newfoundland dog, and
those who have heard it say the noise it
makes is similar to that OF a little child
weeping piteously.
1t was first seen by Paddy Hughes on the
hillside between Carrie Furnace and Swiss
vale last Thursday night. James Dickson,
% years of age, has also seen and heard its
cries. On last Thursday night he was
awakened from his slumbers by the noise
which he claims was not over 20 yards from
his house. He saw the animal retreating
toward the hill, and he thought had entered
the working OF an old abandoned coal mine
colony Of colored people living near the
Old pit have often seen and heard it. Charles
NewmYer, station agent at SwiSSvale, one
evening last week thought he heard a child
screaming, and on looking ahead saw the
animal standing in the middle of the road.
Swissvale residents spent two nights last
week IN trying to hunt down the animal.
