oRooKED SCHOOL INsPRoroRs.
One of Them Attempts Suicide Rather
Stand Trial.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.-THE case Of
School Inspector julius Lichtenberg a
member of the board of education, who is
charged with having accepted brihe in
connection with the awarding of a con-
tract to the Manitiwoc School Furniture
Company, was called in the recorders
court at 10 O'Clock this morning, but Lich-
tenberg failed to respond when called
His bail was declared forfeited and his
re-arrest was ordered. Half an hour later
Litchtenberg made an unsuccessful at
tempt at suicide at his home, No 6}0
St Antoine street. He left home early
without eating breakfast and returned
at l0:30 o'clock. His wife asked him why
he was not at court, but without replying
to her question he passed on to the bed
room from which a few seconds later
came the report of a revolver shot When
Mrs. Lichtenberg reached the room she
found her husband lying on the bed with
a bullet hole in his head Iichtenberg
was removed to the Harper hospital
where it was found that the bullet had
struck the frontal bone OF the forehead
and glanced downward. The doctors say
he will recover 1t Is supposed that the
conviction of School Inspector Lichardt
yesterday made him despondent.
AS soon as the news of Lichtenberg's
attempt at suicide reached court Prose-
cutting Attorney Manden asked that
Joseph Walsh another of the indicted
school inspectors, who was in the court
room be arrested forthwith. which re-
quest the judge granted, and Walsh was
taken to jail. His case win probably be
called next.

WAITING ON THE ELECTION.
Buyers Of Iron and Steel Holding on
Till November

Cleveland, o., Oct. 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review says to-day: while the bust
ness coming up in iron and steel week
after week has not developed any phases
of late with direct bearing upon the ques-
tion of tariff rates, there are evidences
that the near approach of a congressional
election is in part responsible for the pres
ent lull in buying. The fact that an indl-
vidual belief on the uppermost political
question affects his conduct as buyer or
seller has led some authorities to regard
the election as another turning point in
business, and especially significant be-
cause of the practical assurance that
would be given by the election of a pro-
lection majority in the House, that the
tariff question will not be opened again
for three years. The developments of the
week in iron and steel have afforded no
special announcement, except that based
on the disappointment of extremely
bearish views. The announcement that
there will not be lower prices among steel
rail producers and that prophecies of the
collapse of the agreement and of a free
fight for tonnage are not to be fulfilled,
is so far an element of strength. The
Importance of the Pueblo (Col.) mill was
over-estimated in the rumors of the inn
pending war, so also was the anxiety of
leading Pennsylvania producers to lead
in a carnival of price-cutting.
MedIlWnll ThilIpauS are WdtJln8 lot
the December showings to determine a
policy that all admit should be one Of
buying. if safety and the interests of
the property were alone regarded. There
are signs at Pittsburg of a strong effort
to bear the Bessemer pig iron market,
and while prices are weak, there has
been much more of prophesy on this
line than would seem to be warranted
by the amount of metal changing hands
Ihere have been a Few sales at 5000 at
Puttsburg the past week, but there is
no effort to push metal on the market,
and no consumers of Importance are buy
ing. Some of the late sales are evidently
to dealers who need Bessemer pig to de-
liver. The billet market is also weak
with rather more trading, yet the volume
of sales is comparatively small From
Sl6 to $l6.25 is the range.
There are varying reports as to foundry
iron, some markets telling of a good bust
ness closed at unchanged prices, while
others record weakness. Chicago keeps
UP a good volume Of sales. The in
creased output of pig iron seems to be
absorbed, and most buyers are keeping
in close touch with requirements. East
ern rolling mills report little new work.
Pittsburg mills have Jared better, but the
race for tonnage keeps prices on a low
level"

WORLDS FAIR SOUVENIR oo1Ns.
Secretary Carlisle Orders the Balance
Put Into Circulation.

Washington, oct 1.-THE Chicago SOU
venir coin of the great worlds fair Is to
become a current half dollar. 1t was at
one time supposed that these coins would
command fancy prices as souvenirs. This
expectation was not realized. The whole
issue authorized by congress would have
been turned over to the worlds fair man
ayers, but for their violation of the agree
ment which was made a condition Of the
gift in respect TO opening the fair on Sun
day. In consequence Of this breach Of the
engagement Sl755,9s0 in souvenir halves
remained in the treasury at the close Of
the fair. A demand having recently sprung
up for them at their face value, Secretary
Carlisle to-day issued an ordep to the sub
treasures directing them to pay out on de-
mand the souvenir coins at the same ratio
as the legalized half dollar Of the United
States namely, at par with gold.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Twenty-seven Boilers Explode and XIII
Four Men.


Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 11.-Fout men were
killed, two fatally injured and several
others were painfully burned by a disas-
trous boiler explosion that occurred at
the Henry Clay colliery early TODAY. The

1t was cold morning and the injured
men were gathered in the boiler room to
get warm. The boiler on the western
end of the house is supposed to have been
the first to explode, and then the ad-
joining boilers went up in quick success
SION the repeated explosions resembling
the roar of heavy artillery. Only nine OF
the thirty-siX boilers escaped destruction.
and even these were so badly damaged
that they are useless Many of the boilers
were torn apart near the center nv

would then take different directions. one
half of a boiler was hurled fully a quarter
of mile and lodged in the slush bank
northwest of where the boiler house form
erly stood. Another thrown in SINH
lar direction went through the side of the
breaker and lodged against the scrapar
line. Another crashed through the tip
house and came near killing several en-
ployes. The safety lamp house near the
top shaft was reduced to splinters
Four collieries viii be thrown into idle
ness by the accident for a month or six
weeks, so that the total loss will aggre-
gate 100000. The boilers furnished steam
for the breakers for the four collieries
named.

TRAIN ROBBERS PULL SPIKES.
The Trainmen on the Watch and no One
Injured,

Denver, Col, Oct. 11.-soon after mid
night a bold attempt was made seven
miles south of Denver to wreck an east
bound Santa Fe passenger train for the
purpose of robbery. 1t is believed that
spikes were pulled from the rails, and
the engine, baggage car, coach, chair car
and sleeper ran off on the ties
The damage was triling and no one was
hurt, but the track was blocked five
hours. The ground for the robbery theory
IS that man called at South Denver
early in the night and intimated that the
train was to be wrecked and robbed Or
ders were given for it to proceed slowly,
but it was not supposed that the attempt
would be made so near the city, and the
train was running eight miles an hour
There is as yet no clew to the miscreants.

POOR OLD PINE BLUFF.
The President of One Of It's Banks Buys a
 BeautlfuI Home in the Metropolis.

Poor old Pine Bluff! The same old story told again. Another good man and leading citizen changes his place of residence from suburb to center, from hamlet to city.
 On yesterday, through the H. A, Bowman real estate agency, Maj. J E. Speers, President of the Citizens Bank, of Pine Bluff, bought for a residence the beautiful home of Mrs Olive A. Deshon, widowsof the late Col. A. G. Deshon. The plsoperty con sists of the south half of lot and all of lot ,, block 21, and d handsome brick residence on Scott, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. The consideration was $9 ,000
 Maj. Speers, who leaves shortly for q tour through Europe, will take possession of his new home in Sep tember.
 The above is taken from the Little Rock Press. We will inform the Press that Maj. Speers bought the above named property only as an in- yestment. He will continue his res aidence in this city. Poor old Pine Bluff, indeed! No Little Rock man could raise money enough to pur- chase the property and Pine Bluff had to furnish the man.
