The Sheet Iron Association held one of
lis monthly meetings at the Monongahela
House yesterday. Among those present
were Mr.. McCleane, of this city; Henry
Whitley, Philadelphia. Senator A. E.
Whitaker, Wheeling; James Hicks, of the
Piqua tinplate plant, made famous during
the Ohio campaign; w. r. Merrill, OF
Columbus, and others. Mr.. McCleane said
the object Of the meeting was insignificant.
They met to talk over the trade and the
prospects. The market is very dull at pres
ent and the future of the business not any
too bright. Prices we're reafirmed The
rates are very low. but the market will not
bear an advance. Mr.. McCleane thought
that the tinplate business would help the
sheet iron men little. 1t will create
demand for black sheet iron at least. So far
the tinplate output has been small, and he
rather intimated that he thought it would
always be so.

Cast Iron Pipe Men to Organize,

The Eastern cast iron pipe manufacturer RS
intend to form an association. A meeting
for the purpose has been called to be held
in Philadelphia to-day. A. C. Overholt.
president of the Scottdale pipe foundry,
and George Miles went to the Quaker City
last evening. The wrought iron peo-
pie have been organized for
several years, but the cast iron makers never
got together. a number of mills are located
in the Lehigh Valley and around Philadel-
phia. The bulk of the cast iron foundries
are in the South, and the Northern manu-
facturers find it tough shedding to compete
with them, owing to the low price of their
pig iron. A Louisville firm got the last
contract to supply Pittsburg with water
pipe, and the local companies who put in
bid admitted that they couldn't
produce the pipe at Southern rates. The
object is not to form trust, for there are
too many plants in the country and they
couldn't be controlled. Mr.. Overholt said
if the organization will help his business
he will ioin it.

Breach of Promise Suit.

Breach of Promise Suit.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-[SpecidL miss
Annie Siegman, spinster of 3S, wants S1O,-
900 from William Siegman, her cousin, who
is seven years her senior, for breach OF
promise The case came up in the city
court to-day. Miss Siegman was the only
witness examined up to the hour of adjourn
ment. She testified that William began
courting her in 1869, when she went to live
with his mother. He never wrote her any
letters, nor did he make her any presents,
but he did pay court with great regularity,
visiting her even after she had left the
house. He called on her for'the last time
in 1887. In February, 1888, he told her he
did not intend to marry her, but she would
not believe him.
In December, 1890, she learned thst Sieg-
man had married Miss Dora Farr in WASH
ington. A sworn statement by Mrs Schligh,
of Washington, was read that Siegman had
acknowledged that he intended marrying
Miss Siegman. Siegman, who is a wealthy
coffee roaster, denies that he ever promised
to marry his cousin.

A NEW sALEsMEN's ASSOCIATION.
1t Tries to Get the Trade of the Regular
Regular Travelling Men.

Regular Travelling Men.
A circular letter is being sent out of
Pittsburg TO the leading tobacco manufact-
urers of the country from the Salesmen's
Industrial Association. 1t asks for the
agency of different brands of tobaccos,
claiming TO be commercial travellers, repre-
senting the different wholesale houses in
Pittsburg. 1t says the association is in a
position to place goods on the market that
the jobbers do not care to handle, also
doing away with the special men employed
by the factories.
W. II. Reed, Secretary of the Pittsburp
Commercial Travellers Protective Associa-
tion, was asked about the circular and
said: 81 am charter member of the asso-
citation and am thoroughly posted in its
actions and workings. I can furnish proof
that the Salesmen's Industrial Association
is in no way connected with the Pittsburg
Commercial Protective Association, which
is an insurance and accident organization.
The names appearing on the circular of the
Salesmen's Industrial Association are not
members of the Pittsburg Commercial Pro-
tective Association

and songs and old soldiers and harmony.
Even p. p. Elder announced himself as
pleased. The front seats for some dis

of those present to the fact that on

sas would enter upon its thirtieth year.
The people had broken their bonds and
asserted their sovereignty.
Speaker Elder was cheered when he
began to talk. Il wish it understood, u
he said. that there is no ranking in
my bosom about this senatorial election.

and l am egotistical enough to feel that
he would not have been in this party

dents, 20 per cent are from the families

Cheyenne, Wyo., January 2S.-The
court room was crowded this morning
to hear Judge Scott pass sentence upon
Charles Miller. the boy tramp, who
murdered F'ishbouger and Emerson,
young men of st. Joseph, Mo-, in a box
car near here last September. Tears
trickled from the eyes of the judge as
he fixed March Goth as the day of exc
cution. Miller, who is a STRIPPING of
ID. was not affected in the least. He
was joking with other prisoners ten
II .1utes after. His friends will appeal
to the governor, chiefly on the ground
that the boy is devoid of moral ideas.
He nonchalantlv told the story of the
crime during the trial. The young
men were shot while asleep. Miller
was FOR sew raj years an inmate of an
orphan asylum in New York.

Assaulted by q PhYeician.

Laredo, Tex, January 2S. Some
time ago an embryo revolution against
Mexico was started in this city, with
General Ruis Sandoval, a refugee from
Mexico, as principle leader, aided di-
rectly andlindirectly by other prominent
aliens living in Laredo. When Sando-
val was arrested among others who
aided him were Mr.. Romute Zardenotta,
a prominent merchant in this city, and
DIR. Ignace Martinez, who is a practic-
ing physician here. and also edits a
newspaper called Ell Mundo, which is
bitterly opposed to the Mexican gov
ernment. Since that time the revOlu-
ZIONIST leader SandOval and his sympa-
thizers have had trouble between them
selves. in which DR.. Martinez and Mr..
ZardenOtta have apparently been ar
raigned against each other. Sunday
night the doctor was riding along the
streets in his buggy when he met or.
passed Mr.. ZardenOtta, and, taking out
his buggy whip, struck the latter two
or three times. The result has been
several suits against the doctor for mis-
demeanOrs, and an affidavit made by
ZardenOtta that he had reason to be-
lieve that DIR. Martinez intended to
murder him, for which the doctor was
placed under 81 900 peace bond to-day.
Notwithstanding this the end is yet to
come and trouble is looked for.

the snares and temptations which beset
us this day"
The secretary of the senate came in
with a resolution which caused the rep
resentatives to forget the admonition of
brotherly love enioined by the chaplain,
and the house was again plunged in
war. Someone had tackled TO a house
concurrent resolution. which had
been sent TO the senate. a
red tag reading. sand buIrs
stick. Hay seeds firm"
The decorous senate adopted resolu-
ton declaring that il would take no no
tice of house resolutions until IL was
treated with becoming respect. The
bad feeling existing between the house
and senate bids fair TO play sad havoc
with legislation of any kind. The two
bodies have been unable TO agree on
ANYTHING. and are becoming more stub
born as the session progresses.
When the resolution adopted by the
senate calling attention 10 the alleged
insult offered it by the house was brought
ND for discussion. Speaker Elder TOOK
the floor and presented Il resolution de-
claring that no disrepect was intended, |,
and that the placard attached To the reso-
luton was an accident. Mr.. Patterson o.
Marshall said that the house should no!
be compelled TO shoulder the mistakes
of its employees, and that an investiga-
tion should be made to find out what
employe should be censured. Senators
mad been refused admission 10 the house
by the doorkeeper and it was time that
a stop was being placed on officers and
employees. Several other representa-
tives called attention to indiguities Of
fered senator's. and the resolution was
unanimously adopted.

One Hundred and Seven Coffins.

YoungwOOd, Pa, January 29.-At
noon yesterday lOI bodies had been.
taken from the Mammoth mine and it
was thought that at least forty more
would be found. Sixty-three of the
dead men were shrouded, coffined ard
buried yesterday afternoon. No such
| funeral procession was ever before seen.
The bodies were taken by special train
to Scottsdaie and buried side by side in
a common grave.
On Tuesday morning fire boss Smith,
the inspector of machinery and the en-
gineer. filed a report in the Office of the
company that they had inspected the
mine and had found it in good condi-
tiOn.
1t is now thought that the 107 bodies
recovered about comprise the list OF the
dead. The seventy-nine bodies buried
in the Catholic cemetery last night
were followed by another installment to-
day. The rest of the bodies will be in
| TERED privately with services at the
graves, which was not the case yester-
day.
A call for assistance has been issued
by all Pittsburg labor organizations and
newspaper and business offices are re-
ceiying subscriptions. 1t is thought by
experts that the force of the explosion
was augmented by the fine dry coal dust
in the mine, which ignited when the
fire damp exploded.
This afternoon it was discovered by
the officers of the company that twenty
three men more are missing, in addition
to the 1O7 fnund dead. This increases
the total dead to 100. 1t is probable the
remaining twenty-three will not be
found for weeks, owing to the immense
piles of wreckage that must be under
mined. Twenty-seven more dead
miners were buried at noon to-day,
many OF the graves being marked ''un-
known" owing to the terrible mutila-
iIOn.
Master Workman Rae OF the United
Mine Workers, is labOring with his col
leagues to form more stringent mining
laws from this state, and influential pol
iticians are preparing to push them I'D
the legislature. AS it is, there seems
to be no way for the people to reach the
company for damages.

The Cherokee strfp Boomers.

Caldwell. Kas., January 2S.-Not
since the opening of Oklahoma have
such scenes been enacted upon the
streets of this city as were seen this
evening. The streets are actually
crowded with people who are waiting
anxiously for tO-morrow's dawn TO
march for the Cherokee strip and take
possession of claims. This is the head
quarters of the Dill-O'Connor colony OF
Cherokee boomers, and its members
have been flocking here for two weeks
past in anticipation of to-morrows in
vasion.
Only well equipped farmers have been
admitted to membership in the colony,
and the boomers present decidedly
more prosperous appearance than did
the Oklahoma boomers. The former
are well equipped with first class out
fits. and all have money enough to car
ry them through the year until harvest
time. The actual movement into the
strip will be made tomorrow dawn. a
great many of the boomers are now on
the line.
The lumber yards have all done a
booming business for the two weeks
past, and most of the boomers carry
enough lumber with them to build a
shanty. Others have exhausted the
supply of tents in the town. and tent
cannot be bought tonight for any
money. The stocks of groceries and
dry goods have been exhausted. and
new supplies have been ordered by ex'
press.
The colony at present numbers about
500 families. The total membership OF
the colony is about $500 and those who
are not now on the ground are expected
within the next day or two. a town
was laid out on the line of the Rock Is
land railroad yesterday, and was named
| Enid.
Active building operations were in
progress to-day, and about twenty shan
| ties have been built. Active building
is also going on at Cherokee City, just
across the line. After the invasion to
morrow il will be town of some hun
dreds of inhabitants. The Cherokee
! Cornia. which has until now been ISSUED
at this place, has been moved to CherO'
kee CITY, and will be issued from that
place tomorrow.
Two regiments of United States sol
diers from Fort Riley are stationed just
south of here. IL is not known wha
their orders are, whether to maintain
order among the boomer, or prevent th'
contemplated invasion.
Arkansas City, KS, January IS
A great many delegates to th'

attendance. Dispatches received thi
evening from Governor Steele Of Okla
homa, Jerry Simpson, Judge Emery o

ers say they will be here.

A Tennessee Treasurer's Shortage.

Nashville, Tenn. January 2S.-A dis
patch from Manchester, Coffee county,
announces the arrest at that place of b.
F. Lean, ex-trustee of that county, on
the charge of having embezzled $4,000
of the county funds. Lean had filled
the Office of trustee for four years, his
term expiring in December last. He
went to Alabama recently, and upon his
return yesterday was taken into Gus
tody. He gave a bond of $1,000 for his
appearance in court next Monday. 1t Is
said the alleged shortage was discov-
cred early in the present month, but as
he was in Alabama at the time no steps
were taken to make his arrest. Lean
has always been held in highest re-
gard by all the people in Coffee county
1t is thought the alleged shortage was
caused by his loaning county funds to
friends.
