 SGHOOLHCUSE BURNED.

Tho Old Barn, Yciept the Public School
 Building. Goes Up in Smoke.
 At 9:45 on Wednesday morning an unusual commotion was observed at the schoolhouse on the iiiil east of the business portion of town, and in a few moments blaze shot up through the roof. In half all hour the old rookery which had 80 long done duty as pub lie school building was in ashes. A high wind was blowing from the north west at the time, which famed the flames furiously, and for time it was thought the new b1ilding, in which the primary and first intermediate grades are taught, would also be consumed, but it escaped. The winter supply of fuel, however, was destroyed. All the furniture in the burned building was saved the damage to the desks being very slight. The fire originated in a defective flue. The building was in- sured with Taylor & Izard in the Cres- cent of New Orleans for $500 and the furniture and fixtures for S250 The loss IS about Sl200.
 Tbere were some 250 children in school and it is fortunate that no ac- cident Of any kind occurred. Some of the pupils appeared very much dis tressed at the loss of the schoolholse, while occasionally some youngster could be seen expressing his joy at the prospect of continuation of the holi- day season by executing pas seul that would have done credit to an old timer.
 The building was erected about eighteen years ago, and had long been too small to meet the constantly grow ing needs of tue community. A few years ago two additional rooms were built but still the accommodations were inadequate. It is hoped that the schoolboard will soon find means for the erection of a public school building which will meet all requirments. We are sure the public spirited citizens of the vicinity will not permit this mat ter to lie in abeyance. Forrest City must have school facilities commensu-

A CHANGE AT BIRMINGHAM.
An Increased Movement in the Market
Despite Greater Production.

An Increased Movement in the Market
Despite Greater Production.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April s-ISpecidl 1.-The
iron situation has changed somewhat in the
past two weeks. While production is being
Increased stocks are falling off slowly but
surely. showing an increased movement in
the market. No large sales are reported,
however, the deals being in small quantities
and at such prices as may be necessary to
meet competition. These prices range be-
tween 50 for gray forge and $ll so
for No. i foundry, any attempt at
quoting the market being mere guess work.
The absorbing theme among iron men con-
tinues to be the minimum cost of produc-
tion ana there is general opinion that the
fires will be kept up until the average price
for the whole output falls below So, though
no one anticipates now that that figure will
be reached before the rea action sets in.
The effort for lower freight rates con-
tinues. The recent reduction affects only
points north of the Ohio river, whereas the
principal markets for Birmingham iron,
Cincinnati, Louisville and st. Louis, are
not affected. The claim is made
that the reduction to Northern
points was an offset to a similar reduction
made by the East and West trunk lines
some time ago, and that as a matter of TACT
the Southern trunk lines have done nothing
to relieve the situation. 1t is understood
that these lines will decide in a few days
whether a reduction will be made in South
ern TERRITORY.
