SOUTHERN PIG IRON
Taking. a Firm Hold in the Chicago Mar
lets. Why it is Thus.
(Cornellsvi!le Courier

Southern pig iron has taken firing
hard grip on the Chicago market and is
causing nearly rs much uncasiness among
blast furnacemcn there and in Milwaukee
as in Pittsburg and the Mahoning and
Shenango Valleys. Chicago consumes
about 600, 600 tons Of pig iron every year,
including not only what is used by the
local manufacturing establishments, also
those Of hundreds of small towns and
cities for which Chicago is base of sup
plies. OF that amount the Southern fur
nacemen now supply fully $1,000 tons per
year, and their shipments are continually
on the increase Tennessee and Alabama
are the principal districts from which the
iron comes, and i'll spite of the vastly,
greater distance their product has to lie
hauled before it gets TO Chicago, It's fur
naces are ready to make cut at any time
to meet Northern competition and retain
their hold in the Northern market.
81 do not know just how they succeed

Jndre n. A. w. Skeen, after filling the
Office of Mayor for two terms, has deter
mined to retire, and JoshuaF. Bullitt, Jr.,
has Welded to the wishes of the commu-

faithful and conscientious official and re-
tains the undated confidence OF ms

so eminently fitted for the position
as Captain Bullitt consents to offer for
the office. No one in the community or
out Of it for that matter, would make
better Mayor. AS captain OF the ponce

Lecture by Rev, MT AIciianaWay.

The third lecture in the Stonega Course
was given by Rev. Mr.. McManaway last
Tuesday night. His subject was the
Arch Traitor of History, Judas lscariot,
and he presented very graphic and
forcble analysis Of this remarkable char
acter. The blending Of the good and
evil in the man, his religious enthusiasm,
ambition, greed and revenge, were illus
trated by striking pictures and examples.
The peculiar features that distinguish and
separate his life we're also touched on and
the possibilities of dowiuat;on by spirits
Of evil At the close, a most interesting
reference was made to the power of hcrcd-
ity, lis far reaching influence and the part
it might have played in driving this man
to his doom.
The next lecture Of the course, Tuesday,
April, 2Sth vii! he given by Mr Bcckford.
The subject is The World Of Atoms Il
consideration of the worlds structure,
with Illustrations from physics and chem
istry. 1t will be the first OF the science
lectures and will include brief eXposi-
ton of the scientific method.

IN INTERESTING DISCOVERY.
Large Tree IouGG tJrIer Ground that
Had been there for, Say &c 900 years,

To tie Editor Of he Past
On Wednesday last, while the laborcrs
employed by ;ir. Y. i. Knox were max
ing an excavation on The the Of the drain
at the intersection Of East Isl street with
Shawnee avenue, they came upon thc
trunk Of Il tree, twelve inches in diameter
and STANDING erect as it grew. 1t was
easily cut of Will their 5hoycls at depth
Of ten feet under ground, and how much
lower it extended is not known, as the ex
cavalon was flied when visited the
spot.
The tree mad the general appearance of
Il common poplar, and in all human prob
ability lad been there Tor many thousands
Sists call the Champlain Period Of tbs
Quar;ernary Age, which antcdates the
Mosaic account Of creation by such long
periods Of .;We that no one has had The
tcmcriiy even 10 approximate it i'll years.
At the close OF the Glacial Period, which
vas Hi era OF wonderful rivers, when the
mighty current OF The North Fork rolled
through the Gap carrying IFS debris and
depositing it along where now stands the
Jail, by Nickeis store, and uniting with
the South Fork near Goodloc's, Powels
river extended from mountain to noun
tain.
When the Champlan Period began,
then the streams hogan to dry up. The
Eastern base of Poplar Hill, as any one
nay see along the cut on Wood avenue
had been formed of sand and powders.
whilst the Western slope was left intact
and undisturbed as is evidenced BIZ the
folded strata along its Western border.
What we call The swamp had been low
land and had been iiicl up by drift, and
then ii was that our tree was cOYercG up,
and by some subtle chemistry of nature
was preserved for the inspection of peo-
pie of to-day.
Then as the great icebergs had been
melted and there was no such abundance
of water, the streams began to run in the
narrower channels of the present day.
| have heard OF leaves, nuts, etc, hay
ing been found even at 4 greater depth
on Red river near Stanton, Ky, where
the construction of the river is even more
marked than at this place in the change
which all the streams underwent in the
transition from the Glacial Epoch to the
Champlain Period. That wood lasts
long time in the ground under favorable
conditions, is well known from the fact
that timbers ip'England are sometimes UNI
carthed which were put down by the
Romans under Julius Caesar, mere than
500 years ago.
This specimen is we'll worthy OF a place
in the Exhibition Hall, on account Of its
rarity. j. v. Fox, SIR

struck before it crosses to the strikers side
Oh the net; II the striker touch the net or its

The player in the right hand court COM
mences the game by serving TO the player
Ia the adverse right hand court; If that
player return the shuttlecock, it must be
nit back by the in side and then returned
by the out side till fault is made by one
or the other. The game is continued in this
manner, count being changed after each ace
IS made Tho service lines are disregarded
after the serve is returned The innings
always begin with the player in the right
hand court, and serves are made alternately
from each court into the one diagonally
opposite. In two, three and four handed
games the side beginning a game has
only one hand in its first innings if there
are two side, and only two hands if there
are three q side. In two-hauded game
only the person served to may take serve /:
not so IN three or four~handed game. The
service must not begin till the opponent is
ready, but any attempt to return
Is taken to indicate readiness. Any I'M
foreseen or accidental hindrance
may be given by "let" by the umpire on
appeal from either side before the next
service commences, or before the PLAYERS
have changed sides at the end of game
'let" cannot be claimed if an attempt
has been made to strike the shuttle-cock.
Probably by next winter there will be q
