Prices Hardening

CINCINNATI, Nov. ls.-[SpeciaL. 1-Rogers.
Brown s. Co. say: Actual demands or iron
are taking stocks from furnaces as fast as
made. and the tendency is toward steady
heardening of prices. Naturally the evil
dence OF tho changed temper OF the country
on the subject of protection has q tendency
to check all blowing in of furnaces now idle.
So lar rs the South is concerned, the stacks
that nave gone out for repairs outnumber
the decrease of production

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Development in the Week
Ending May 2Ist.

The Industrial Development in the Week
Ending May 21st.
The Tradesman in its review of the
situation in the South for the week
ending May q, 1892, states that from
the great majority of reports there Is
an absence of complaint of hard
times" which has been the almost
universal cry for months past, and
there seems to be some improvement
The banks have large surplus on
hand all over the South, but general
commercial operations are contracted
and the use for money very much
restricted. The annual report OF the
tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway
Company. the largest ron producer
in the South, shows that during the
wear 1891 their profits were larger
than the year preceding, notwith-
standing the greatly increased de-
pressed condition of the market al
Ian ge and though iron is now lower
than vas ever before known, the
South establishes it's supremacy by
producing it at profit while furnaces
in the North are closing down unable
to meet the prices. Several furnaces
that have been out OF blast Will re-
sume operations as soon as possible.
Lumber is more encouraging and the
Southern Association has advanced
star flooring fifty cents. Textile
plants continue very prosperous.
The Tradesman reports 46 new
industries as established or incor-
porated during the week, together
with Oenlargements OF manutacto-
ries, and Is important new buildings.

WHILE Parson Watterson was in
Washington recently, drinking tea,
the Courier Journals devil nlalic-

its editorial columns: "Mr. Taylor,
financial agent for the Florida African
Methodist Episcopal Conference,
after long study, has found that hell
is only fifty-two miles beneath the
earth's surface. IF the distance is so
short, it will not be difficult to inter
est a syndicate in the work of exca-
waiting shaft with the proper slope
for toboggan slide. The unjust may
thus be brought to punishment the
sooner. The syndicate could get its
money back by piping heat in cold
winters"

SENSATIONS ON TAP.
New Developments Expected in Regard
to CrOnin's Death.

CHICAGO, May 23.-[Special. There
are likely to be sensational develop
ments growing out Of the assassination
of DR.. 2. a. CrOnin before many weeks.
over three years have passed since the
noted Irish patriot was sent to his last
account; one of those convicted OF COM
plicity in the murder has died in prison
cOncealing his secret until the end; two
more of the assassinS are still behind
the stone walls OF Joliet, while a dozen
of those directly or indirectly concerned
in the conspiracy have either died or
been scattered as Ishmaelites over the
four quarters of the country.
In all these years, however, although
conducted with great secrecy, the eff
forts of the Irish friends of the muir
dered physician to penetrate the mys-
terry surrounding the crime and con-
spiracy, and to secure grip on others
known to have been identified with it,
have never for a moment relaxed, and
it is now stated that their labors are
approaching point where the case is
likely to be re-Opened and astonishing
disclosures made public. One of the
most prominent members of what is
known as the CrOnin wing of the Irish
party in this city, and whose name is
known wherever half dozen Irishmen
have gathered together on other side
of the Atlantic, said to-day in reference
to this subject:
"People think we have been sleeping.
On the contrary we have been piling
up fact upon Fact, proof upon proof,
until we have reached point where we
believe that the entire conspiracy and
crime is revealed. When we think that
the proper time has arrived the facts in
our possession will be placed in the
hands of the States Attorney, and those
facts will be strong enough to warrant
the Immediate arrest, not of one man or
two men, but of ten or a dozen. Some
of them, moreover, have such a local
standing that the very suggestion that
they were implicated In the crime will
create a sensation. There are men
walking the streets of Chicago to-day
who are even more guilty than the men
| in Joliet. They think their secret is
safe as long as they live, but they are
mistaken. AS was stated in the dis
patches from Joliet during his fatal
| illness Patrick O'Sullivan would have
made a clean breast OF what he knew
were it not for the fact, as he expressed
it himself, that his statement would i'm
plicate a fellow countryman with a
| large family. He knew all about that,
even before O'Sullivan had said so.
When it was first stated that the pris-
oner was i'll this man lost no time in
making arrangements to fly the country
in the event OF O'Sullivan's making a
confession.
