HARD TIMES AT SCRANTON.
The Dizziness of the Steel Rail Market
Having Its Effect.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
SCRANTON, Jan. THE dullness of the steel
rail market may be attended with disastrous
results in this city, where one-sixth of the
total output of the world is manufactured an
nually.
The first effects of the scarcity of orders were
felt January l, when the Lackawanna Iron and
Coal Company cut down the wages of all en-
ployes 10 per cent. Yesterday morning the
Scranton Steel Company discharged 400 work
men indefinitely. This morning the Laeka-
wanna Iron and Coal Company, to further
lessen their production, put their works on
half time As there are thousands of men de-
pending on the steel industry for subsistence,

One Reason Given for the Disappearance

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 1S.-The town
of Fairfield, just west of here, has a mys-
terry in the disappearance of Miss Julia
Campion. prominent resident Of the
town, and who is over 20 years of age.
Miss Campion was the victim of an as
sault two months ago at the hands of a
prominent young farmer, John Flana-
gan. He was arrested, Notwithstanding
Miss Campion's protests, she shrinking
,from the publicity of a trial.
Miss Campion is totally paralyzed in her

ACAPULCO, via. GALVESTON. May 49,
toms ships company has been on the
keen jump to get ready for sea again.
The work of coaling has been rushed
as never rushed before. Last night with
sufficient coal supply for 10 days at
high speed, the Charleston left this har-
Dor to continue the chase of the Itata.
|. No one but Captain Remey knows what
course the Charleston will steer.
The Esmeralda still lies near the har-
Dor entrance, but has not yet coaled ship.
Her captain is apparently ignorant of the
Itata's whereabouts.
There can be no doubt that the Esmer-
aida is kept informed by telegraph of
what is going on in the United States.
One of her officers is often seen at the
cable office receiving or sending mes
sages. 1t is rumored, even, that money
will be transmitted to the Esmeralda by
cable transfer to enable her to get coal
here.
At present she could be of little service
to the Itata, even if the latter arrived off
the port, for both ships must be nearly
cleaned out of coal.
The Esmeralda's officers and crew talk
very freely about the Itata. One of their
stories is that they have already met the
Itata and taken her stores and arms from
her Another is that the Itata has met a
coal-laden vessel at sea, and is now push
ing on southwark with full bunkers.
These tales overlook the impossibility
of transhipping a heavy cargo of coal or
of arms in the open sea. Such an opera
ton, even with every preparation made
and modern appliance supplied, would re-
quire a week of smooth sea, and it would
be difficult and dangerous job then.
I What the Charleston now intends doing
will depend upon Captain Remey's orders.
1t is not impossible that he will continue
straight on for Chili-stopping for coal
at Panama-in order to join the other
ships of our navy at Iquique.

His Fight with Slavin.
BELFAST, N. Y, May 18.-To-day Jake
Kilrain commenced active training for
his coming contest with Slavin, which
takes place in Hoboken, N. J., June IS.
Kilrain is in poor condition, and will
be obliged to work hard to get in shape,
but as Muldoon and Cleary took Sullivan
from fallen monument two years ago
when he fought that successful and MEM
orable battle with Muldoon's present pro-
tege, Kilrain, and put him in the best
condition in which he ever fought bat
tie, there is no doubt that after two or
three weeks of manual labor Kilrain will
be in the best of condition. He and his
trainers have the greatest confidence of
winning, and within a week may be ex-
pected vast change in Jake's appear
ance.
He will train under the same system as
did Sullivan, taking 20 mile walks daily,
punching the bag, wrestling and spar
ring. As Kilrain's future depends wholly
upon this fight, no chances will be taken,
and his trainers will do all in their
power to place him in condition to win
the $10, 200 which the club offers. This
amount, too, looks large to the Balti-
MORGAN, and If he is not: in shape to be
termed a winner within three weeks it
will not be the fault of his trainers nor
his own desire and ambition.
