Cambria discharging half its

the Carnegie furnaces at Besse-
mer out of blast. the production
and manufacture of iron and steel
are smaller than at any other
time for years. While it Is be
lieved that deferred work will
cause heavy production after the
strike terminates, the demand for
products is at present much be-
low general expectations even at
the east. But the disturbance of
ordinary lines of trade is so com
plete, Chicago actually selling
some iron products TO New Eng
land, that il is impossible TO
measure the new demand with
accuracy. Prices have advanced
but little, foundry and mill iron
having sold during the week at
$l0.75 and 1915 at Pittsburg,

are i'm better demand, both east
and west, and bar iron also, no
change in their prices appears.

A report that the cotton mills

Delay in Granting Franchises.
Appleton, Wis, Nov 22-J. NJ. Thomp-
son of Chicago. known in railroad circles
as "Cable-car Thompson arrived in the
city yesterday to make a last effort to-
ward securing from the cities of Neenah,
Menasha and kaukauna franchises allow
ing the passage through those cities of the
1nterurban Electric railway which is to
connect Oshkosh and kaukauna and in
termediate cities. Franchises have been
secured at Oshkosh and Appleton, but the
project has been delayed for months by
the dilatory tactics of the smaller cities
mentioned. Mr.. Thompson, who built
nearly all the cable car lines Of the Pa
cific slope, comes here with the fullest
evidence of the stability of the company
which wants to build the road. and hopes
by full statement of the situation and
proofs of good faith to induce the coun-
ellis of Neenah Menasha and kaukauna
to grant the franchises without further
delay In case he is successful the power
houses will be built this winter, the dyna-
mos set, and in the spring work Will pc
gin simultaneously at both ends OF the
line, the company's power houses furnish
ing power for operating the line Tor con
structlon purposes as fast as IL IS punt.
In case satisfactory assurances OF fran
chises cannot be obtained from the cities
mentioned within the few days OF Mr..
Thompson's visit here, the project will be
abandoned entirely. The Stockholders are
becoming impatient of delay. They nave
had the whole amount of stock subscribed
and every dollar of the money, SbOOOOo,
in New York bank for four months.
They want the matter decided at once
one way or the other. Mr.. Thompson
owns an undivided one-half of the stock.

Are Stirred Up.

Oshkosh, Wis, Nov. 22.-Arrange-

between Fond du Lac and Oshkosh par
ties. There is a great rivalry between
the cities and some interesting sport IS
promised. According to the outlook at
present there will be several iceboats
owned in Oshkosh. The only drawback
is the uncertainty as to whether or not
they can be used Several recent winters
have come and gone and there was no
opportunity to use an iceboat or even
skate on Lake Winnebago, the fall of
snow being so heavy, but the enthusiasts
hope to overcome the last obstacle. Me-
nasha and Neenah parties have also ex-
pressed willingness to join in the sport.

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Menasha Boy Dislocates His Neck on His
Way to School.


Menasha, Wis, Nov. 21.-Perhaps the
most peculiar accident ever recorded in
this vicinity happened yesterday to Fred
die Staeben, the 1O-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. H. J. Staeben. On his way to
school his attention was attracted by a
couple of flags ON building. He looked
up quickly, presumably turning his head
at the same time. He found when he at
tempted to straighten his head that there
was something wrong, but continued on
his way to school. When near the school
he staggered and was taken into store
and later was conveyed home on q
stretcher Dr. Plumb was called and
found dislocation of the neck. Anaes-
thetics were administered and the frac-
ture reduced. The boy revived rapidly
and is resting quite easily,
