sf Iron ropes will give entire satisfac- ton, if operated under proper condi. tions, when the work to be done is not too heavy, but steel ropes should be sub. stituted for iron when hghtness is re. quired, or when a greater strength be. comes necessary, the object of such substitution being to decrease the wear rather than reduce the size of the rope there should be no coiling or uncoiline of wire rope like that of hemp, but, when not on reel, should be rolled upon the ground like wheel to prevent Enking. To preserve wire rope it tshould be covered thoroughly with raw linssed oil, mixed with vegetable tar, such g mixture forming protective surface . which preserves it from undue wear.-- Engineer.

 The advertisement of Geo. W. Moore X Go. in another column calls the atten- tion of our readers to the present condi- tion of farm mortgages in the west and south This firm has had long and honorable business career as negotiators of such mortgages, and desel yes the con- fidence of investors It has never claim ed that farmers could always pay their interest the day it was due, but only that it was possible to get such security as a prudent investor would regard ample for the amount loaned, and to take such care of the lenders investment as would best secure the collection of his debt accord ing to the contract. 1t numbers among its patrons some of the most conservative corporations and individual investors in this state and elsewhere, who are contin- ually increasing their holdings of the mortgages selected and negotiated by the firm. It would seem that experienced in- vestors in farm mortgages believe this to be good time to make safe and profita- !. ble farm loans, if placed through reliable parties who look out for the interests ot their patrons. Persons in this vicinity / looking for investments will do well to send to this firm for information.

Ceived from friends few clothes ana
trinkets, supposed to represent all OF the
earthly possessions of her son James, who
wHs reported to have been drowned in the
flood. Up to last week the mother and
friends of the boy had every reason to be-
lieve that he was filling an unknown grave.
Last Saturday, however, the delighted
mother received letters and papers that
thoroughly established the fact that young
Jim is still among the living. The letters
are from the young fellow himself. and he
tells a strange story of the causes that led to
HIS disappearance.
1t seems that the boy escaped almost by
miracle and, dazed by the rapid events dur
ing and after the flood, he fell in with
number of negroes, who took him to Mary
land, where a few weeks later he shipped as

Little Work for the Judges Just at Pres
ent-The United States Branch Finds
Something to Do-stin Pegging Away at
Stroup.
The testimony taken in the divorce case
of James Jack against Margaret Jack was
filed yesterday. Jack is q glassmaker living
in MeKeesport, and was married Il years
ago. He alleges that he was obliged Co leave
his wife on account of her treatment of him.
She was unreasonably jealous, got drunk
and abused him. She gave him no peace,
threatened him and on several occasions
assaulted him with poker. Once he was in
bed when she went at him with the poker,
aiming every blow at his head. He fed the
house and called in the police to see if they
could pacify her. They could do nothing
with her and advised him to get his clothes
and leave the house.
Another time she pushed him down the
stairs. She threatened him and once he
found a knife Is inches long concealed un-
der the mattress of the bed. Her conduct
was such that he finally had to leave her.
