BOOM IN IRON.
Production Has Almost Reached tho Good
 Times Mark.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-R. c. Dun &. Co. s weekly review of trade gays today: Business has met no setback this week, and continues larger than early in Au- gust and larger than year ago, directly after tho panic. More commercial paper is offered, the western demand for money increases. the iron manufacture greatly expands It's output. shipments of shoes con inue large, and cotton goods still ad- vance a little. In some directions the postponed business has about spent itself, and less active trade results, while the net increase has been not much moro than Is usually seen in passing from August into September
 Tho country has now passed nearly three weeks under the new tariff and all admit that changes have been of less im- portance as yet than were expected. If in some branches business has materially increased, it has gained but little or has fallen of in others
 Loss in some directions is explained by crop reports, for the most favorable esti. mato of experts puts the loss of corn Gt about 100 OCO, ,o0O bushels, whereas tho government rCpurt is by some interpreted as meaning n loss of 1,0JO, 900, 900 sush- els. The opinion of tho trado does not fa- yor the official estimate, and the price has not risen at all during tho week, though receipts have been very small, exports have practically ceased. and all realize that the shrinkage of 4OO, GOO, 900 bushels is serious, if it proves to be no greater, since it must affect prices of meats for a year or more
 Tho great increase in iron productions which was noted as following the removal of coke difficulties, is measured by the ca- pacity of furnaces in blast Sept. 1-name- ly, 15l, 1l3 tons against 1l5, 356 tons Aug. 1, and the unsold stock also decreased 35, . 6s4 tons during the month. The output thus rises to so per cent of full produo- tion, but the consumption may be less as the main increase in output was near the end of August, and prices have since weakened a little-Bessemer iron to $l1. 10 at Pittsburg, while Grey Forge soils at $9.95.
 Strikes in cotton mills have not ceased, and stocks of print cloths shrink rapidly, but some question whether recent ad- vanccs in price can be maintained, with important additions to tho present force There is still fair business for speedy delivery in woolens and for cheaper grades of spring goods, but scarcely any thing is done in the finer grades. About half the usual business in tho aggregate has been done, it is estimated, but about thrco quarters in the cheapener grades

MRS. GRUBB ACCUSED.
The Treasurer of the Ladies of the c. A. R.
 Charged With Misappropriating Funds.

The Treasurer of the Ladies of the c. A. R.
 Charged With MisappropriatingF Funds.
 PITTsBUEG, Sept 12-The official an- no.ncement was made that Mrs Anna E Grubb of Camden, N. J., past national treasurer of the Ladies of the c. A. R., Is charged with misappropriating the funds of that organization.
 This statement in the ladies' meeting caused a sensation unequaled in the his tory of the order. The proceedings of the convention were secret, but ono of the ladies, who is in high standing, made the statement that Mrs. Grubb had defaultcd to tho amount of $500 and that suit has been brought against her bondsmen to re- cover. Mrs. Grubb, she says, was TO elected to the office several times and had tho confidence of tho ladies to such an extent that tho auditors in going ovor her books considered it necessary only to make n cursory examination. How long this shortage has existed is not stated, but at the Washington encampmcnt tho books wero thought to be correct, and she was reelected.
 At Indianapolis in lS93, when n new treasurer was elected. Mrs. Grubb failed to turn over sOmo of the books, and in vestigation then disclosed the discrepancy When Mrs. Carrie V. Shcron, who was president in 1892, learned of this fact. she together with Attorney John M. Van derlice of Philadelphia, conferred with Mrs. Grubb in Camden, and suit was filed through Noorhccs Brothers, attorneys of Camden. This was six months ago, and the case will como to trial next month.
 In the warm discussion which followed this announcement Mrs. Margaret A. Ste vens of Camden, n member of tho council of administration. and Mrs. Laura Nc Nicr, who was the first national prosi- dent, made urgent appeals in behalf of Mrs. Grubb and suggested that the ladies donate enough to make up the deficiency, hoping to keep the scandal from becoming public. Others, however. bitterly de- nounosd tho OK treasurer and insisted that tho law take its course. Tho majority voted in favor of prosecution, and the end is not yet.
 Tho excuse made for Mrs Grubb by her friends is that when she used the money it was to help her husband out of financial straits, and she could not return it when called upon.

PROF. WRIGHT S CHARGES.
He Says That the Crew of the sIIran da
 Were Bcastly Drunk.


 OBERLIN, O., Sept 15.-Professor c. Frederick Wright, the eminent gcologist, has returned and made statement which will elicit much surprise among people interested in tho success of the Cook expe- dition, of which he was a member It will be remembered that the expedition was brought to a sudden termination by the sinking of the steamship Miranda.
 Professor Wright makes the statement ! that during the night of the storm nearly all the crew of the i'll fated ship wero beastly drunk; also that in changing the crew from tho Miranda to the Rigel while the former boat was sinking one deckhand had to be hustled over the gangway by the seat of his trousers. Tho Miranda met with an accident Q week previous to this, but tho extent of the damage done to her hull was undcrcstimated at tho time, but on this night during high sea she sprung Q leak.
 During tho three hours that tho Rigol was attempting to lay to the Miranda the excited and mutinous crow broko into tho forecastle, whore the liquor of tho vessel was stored, taking the liquor and holding high riot, becoming so reckless that they even smuggled bottles of whisky under their clothes while in the terrible peril of crossing betwecn the two ships. s Professor Wright stated that in his opIn- ion the officers of the boat were in no wise responsible for this strnnge condition of affairs, but that it was human nature for men of this class in such a position to act as they did

HOW TO TEMPT AN INVALID.
Dainty Ways Are Usually More Judiciou.
 Than fine Food.

Than Fine Food.
 As sick people do not cat a great deal, much should never be offered at time As soon as the patient is satisfied re- movo the dish from sight altogether Nevei ask a sick person to take another mouthful when he has said Enough. '' Better try again after q short while. Think out many little nourishing dain- ties, so as to vary the monotony. Beef tea should not be given when the sys- tenn could stand bird or a chop. A meal of many heavy or substantial dishes is bad for patient even to see, as his appetite is at once destroyed. One solid, few simple accessories and a sweet dish for dessert is an abundance Concentrate quantity and be lavish in quality.
 The invalid who is tired of taking her egg tonic mixed with sherry, and who dislikes the taste of a raw egg, may enjoy the egg disguised ill a cup of cof- fee. Prepare the coffee to the taste with cream and sugar, keeping it very hot until ready for the egg, which must be beaten thoroughly in another cup and the prepared coffee added by degrees. Drink it hot, and it will be found not only palatable, but strengthening.

crouching position within few feet
of his door. Procuring pistol, he
started from the house, and saluted
his visitor with shot. The animal
arose, its eyes blazing, and prepared
to receive him. Then McCaffrey's
will forsook him, his hair assumed a
vertical position, and he stood there
within dozen feet OF the beast,
nervously Juggling at the trigger of
the pistol, but without power to raise
his arms. At this moment Mrs. Nc
Caffrey, who knew nothing OF her
husbands dilemma, appeared with a

Sensible American Horses.

The day will undoubtedly come
when the American trotter will be
priced and valued in this country
for his astonishing qualities, among
which soundness of limb and feet, as
we'll as docility, is not one of the
least; and, while on the point of docil-
ity, it is important to state that the
American horse is probably one of the
most docile animals Of the world, and
/ can attribute this to nothing else
than the habltual kindness and in
telligence with which the American
treats this animal, writes the Duke
of Marlborough, in Live Stock Jour-
nal Almanac. The breeder has been
largely assisted In this by the negro
Throughout the whole OF the South,
where the negro prevails, he has been
associated with the charge OF breed
ing studs, and his affection for the
horse has developed kind Of reel
procity between himself and this ami
NAL, which has had large influence
ON the progeny. Any one who has
had to do with American trotters
appreciates this virtue Of docility.
An American horse will follow you
like q dog; he Is not timid, and he Is
always reasonable. Ii we could only
introduce some Of these Characters
tics into our English horses, it would
add more TO the pleasure OF horse
keeping and horse breeding than any
other element / know.

field to the cutter The long stalks
with large. heavy ears, are very ditfi-
cult to handle. Many devices have
been gotten up to aid in handling
this fodder. and one Of the best
which we have seen is low-down
wagon described in the Ohio Farmer
by +. p. Stump of the Ohio State
University Farm, as follows:
The plan is TO tit the ordinary
farm wagon with rack low enough
to allow one man alone to load con-
veniently, fair load. 1t requires
for material two pieces Of pine
5x6 inxl6 1t, one piece Of oak 5x6xl2
in. four pieces of pine 5x6xl5 in.
About so or 20 IT Of inch lumber and
four good, strong standards, of oak
preferable; then four bolts sx26 in;
one Il lin jointed king-bolt with two
iron keys. one iron plate 4xSs in,
four iron plates each sxl4xs in, eight
standard bands-four large, four
small-with two small 81 10 bolts for
each. Then long chain completes
the outfit, though the chain is not
essential. The front bolster, rear
hounds and coupling pole or reach
must be removed from the wagon
and the rack bolted under the rear
axle, and suspended from the front
axle as shown in the cut We find
this rack extremely convenient for
many other uses on the farm. 1t
comes In very useful where one stocks
his corn and draws it to the barn to
husk, or in drawing the stalks to the
the barn after husking in the field.
