MRS. WILLIAMS EXPOSED.
The American spirltusiist Treated Co s
 Surprise In Paris.


 The American spirltualist Treated 60 s
 Surprise In Paris.
 PARIS, Nov. 9.-The sensation of the hour here is the exposure of the cele- brated American spiritualist medium, Mrs. Mary Williams. of New York.
 She arranged to hold seances in St. Petersburg, Berlin and The Hague and proposed coming to Paris first. NJ. Le Marie, who Is much interested in spirit ualism, invited her to come, having read of her achievements in Florence Marryat's book. Mrs. Williams arrived on Oct. 3i.
 The Duchess of Pompard, a great leader of fashion and spiritualist, lives in 8 magnificent palace which has lec- turo halls where seances and discussions are held. She invited Mrs. Williams to hold seances there. At the first of these the Duke of Pompard suspected some thing. At the second seance his sus- picions were practically confirmed.
 Mrs. Williams then arranged & third seace at the house of Mime. Raufot, but the methods of the spiritualist excited the suspicious of Mme. Raulot also. 4 trap was finally laid. While Mrs. Williams was materializing tall Swede pinioned Mcdonald and another seized the spirit, which proved to be doll, and another lighted the candles. Mrs. Williams was discovered to be in mans attire. She tried to escape, but was captured and compelled to refund all tho money she had received at her seances. She was then threatened with arrest and hastily fed to England. In London she wrote letter to Light, the organ of the spiritualists. claiming that she had been trapped wickedly and made the victim of horrible plot.
 A correspondent called on M. Le Marie, at whose residence he met an emissary from Light, sent to inquire, and Mime. Rsulot, lively French wo- man. The wigs, masks and dolls used by Mrs. Williams were exhibited in proof of the assertion of the enemies of Mrs. Williams.

 THE IRON INDUSTRY.
An Improvement Looked For as Re-
 suit of the Election.

NEw YORK, Nov. 9.-The Iron Age in it's weekly review says: AS result of the election an improvement in busi- ness is expected by the majority of those who control large industrial operations. That feeling alone may go far toward bringing it about.
 One feature of the situation in the iron trade proper deserves more consid- eration than has yet been given to it. It is remarkable fact that in the area of protection of cheaper pig iron from lake ores and Connellsyille coke, the capacity is practically fully employed. In the whole districts mbracing Buffalo the Shenandoah valley, the Conemaugh, Pittsburg, the Mahoning valley, Wheel ing and the Ohio river, there arc very few modern furnaces out of blast. On Oct. these districts were working with 72 furnaces, making close to 86,000 tons of iron per week.
 On Nov they were turning out close to 5000 per week. All of the furnaces out of blast in the whole great region could not at present comprise 5000 tons a week more than that total. Iron at low cost is to be found. This means that if there is any quickening in demand, notably for Bessemer pig, it cannot be supplied by these producers, who are making iron at low cost. IL is we'll known even now that the supply and demand in the markets referred to are very closely balanced. While it is possible that the consumption may eoon fall off with the approach of the usual midwinter dullness, it is a fact that should be carefully kept in mind that what might be termed the area of low cost is being drawn upon close up to its maximum capacity.
 Statistics collected by The Iron Age show that there were in active opera tion on Nov. 1, 1891 blast furnaces with weekly capacity of 157 .466 tons of pig iron. This is an increase of 6321 tons per week over Oct. 1.
 The coke furnaces were producing on the first, instant, l34, I'll tons, the an thracite furnaces 1s 600 tons and the charcoal furnaces 469l gross tons per week

THE CORN CROP.

Total Havest For 1894 Is Placed at
 1,3Oo, OO0, ,0o0 pusheIs.
 CINCINNATI, Nov. O. The weekly re- port of The Price Current states that advanced harvests reveal reduction in the production of corn of one-half bushel per acre as compared with the preliminary estimate one month ago. The total harvest now Is indicated to be i, BOO, 000, 900 bushels. There are evil dences of light and chatfy grain. Ac- cording to present returns, 73.6 per cent of the crop grades as merchantable corn. This represents 1.102, 000,0 bushels, against ,ss6 ,O0O, GOO in 1898, 1,345, O0o,- 900 in 1899 and l, ,ssa, ,000,00 in 1891. An approximation of the available supply of corn for shipment for the ensuing year in states raising three-fourths of the total harvest places 1t at 15.7 per cent or ITO, 000, GOO bushels.
 Wheat feeding is being steadily main tained on low prices rather than on it's relative value as an animal food. Out of TITO counties, reports state in 945 that the tendency still exists, i'll 156 that it Is on the increase and i'll 175 that not as much is now being fed as has been during the past two III onths.
 There is general complaint in Texas, Alabama and Kansas that dry weather is retarding farm work.

Candidates for poet laureate still abound An Edinburgh bard lately wrote to the first lord of the treasury that he was fully competent to fill the post, and that he was willing to do the work at the old salary. Another aspi rant, known as the Aberdeen Loonie, re- gently placed his services at the disposal of Lord Rosebery in a letter with this postscript, If you should happen to have another man i'll your eye for the laureateship, 1 will be thankful for a government post of any kind in the meantime, or a suit of your castoif clothes, for that matter. Tho letter was acknowledged by Lord Rosebery, who knew better than to wound poet sensitive feelings. The result in this case was so lively celebration on tie part of the applicant for the laureateship that he was brought into the police sta tion. In answer to the charge he said: Excuse me. I had letter from Lord Rosebery, and it went to my head. - Boston Transcript.

Objection Raised to the Moyement-Dihsr.

The movement OF the Ashby Light Horse
to discard the yellow Of the cavalry and
merging with the Richmond Light In
fantry Blues in the formation OF battal-
ion and don the blue and white OK the
infantry is beginning to assume some de-
finite shape.
II is learned from good authority that
at a meeting of the troop on Monday
night It was decided by vote Of . to
70 take the necessary steps toward effect
ing this change.
The plan, II Is understood, Is TO petition
the Governor as commander-in-cnief OF
the State militia, to disband the troop,
and this being done. for the members in
their individual capacity to join the Blues.
Captain Cutchins, the commandant or mat
honored Infantry company, said yesterday
that the Blues would be very glad In or
ganizlng a second company for their bat
talon TO receive any or all OF the members
Of the Ashby Light Horse. but that they
would have to be received personally and
not as body. A hitch seems probable,
however, that may delay. IL IL does not
altogether prevent the proposed change.
OPPOSED BY THE COLONEL.
Colonel Boykin and Major Branch,
through whose hands the petition for dis
bandment will have to go before 1t reaches
the Governor. were closeted with his Ex-
cellency for some time yesterday. 1t is
understood that Governor OFerrall as
sured these gentlemen that unless good
and sufficient reasons were shown him
By the members OF the troop why the
change should be made, he would refuse
to grant the petition.
Several of the members OF the troop
were seen by the Dispatch man, and tcers
seems to be no doubt among them that
they will be able to carry out their
wishes. The command just has the mini
mum limit in membership. and there are
several applications for discharges on file.
Had not many OF these been refused the
