days ago having concluded to make this dis

ninth precinct. The animal, a setter was
in the neighborhood of 1st and G. streets
northwest about $50 o'clock and was froth-
ing from the mouth and swapping at
passers-by. until there was apparently no
doubt about its condition. Almost every
one who saw the animal was convinced
that it was mad and dangerous Dr. East

not succeed in killing him.
The wounded animal then ran about the
streets. and before the druggist could put
another charge in his gun and make an
other attempt to end the animals life Po-
liceman Browne appeared and did the work
Some man in the large crowd said he was
a member of the Humane Society and he
was not at all satisfied with what Rad

their children might fall a victim Of the
tramp dog were relieved when the police

BELVIDERE, n. j., July 27.-The prison.
ers confined in the Warren county jail again
made desperate. but unsuccessful at
tempt to esc cape from the Jail last night
Among the prisoners in the plot was George
Andrews, the condemned wife murderer,
whose case is now in the United States
courts. The prisoners had secured hatch
et a hammer. small files. a number of
knives and long iron bar. and with their
aid they knocked hole in the wall of the
Jail ten feet square. The hole was fortu-
nately discovered by the jailor, and. with
the assistance of some keepers, the men
were driven back to their cells at the point
of revolvers. Deputy Sheriff Schwartz says
this was the nest desperate attempt yet
tried. The men had opened each others
cells and were all in the corridors Of the
Jail ready to escape through the hole when
il was discovered The prisoners at first
showed fight, but seeing that they were out
numbered by the keepers. who had pistols
they went back to their cells, and are now

Iron and steel Market.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. july 27.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: The firmness
with which prices are maintained Is the
most encouraging fact about the market
for iron and steel. True. the causes Of this
condition are not likely to endure In the
view Of many, but opinions differ widely.
IN regard TO Bessemer iron and
soft steel, as to the size of the reaction, and
meantime the most IS made of all hopeful
clements. The conditions are reversed from
those existing two months before the coal
strike. Then the volume OF business was
fair. all things conside red, but no matter
nat tonnage came up, prices persisted in
falling. Today. while prices are we'll main
tanned demand is slow, particularly in all
lines of finished material.
Reports from eastern markets Indicate a
greater Willingness To pay current rates
In finished material eastern mills note a
slightly better demand. Some mills in tina
section are running full. and others will
have three-fourths capacity occupied for
the next three months.
