The Tulare RygSter and the Sacra-
mento RECORD UNION are discussing the
enforcement of laws. Tho former de-
clares and correctly, too, that laws are
little more than local options; that they
are seldom, if ever. enforced against the
wishes of the respective communities.
This seems to horrify the RECORD u MON
and it sees the gravest dangers in such
an admission. Both are right. The Reg
lister states the fact and the RECORD
UNION is correct about the dangers OF
openly proceeding upon that basis. and
there the discussion may properly end.
The record-union., 1895-08-24

The RECORD UNION of Sacramento
very tittngly observes: Sensational
journalism in San Francisco has man
aged to get the Durrant trial into tangle
that may result in mistrial or in dis
charge Of the defendant without the
truth being known concerning the crime
with which he is charged. The sensa-
toual press can always be counted on TO
do mean and bad work.

THROUGH A BRIDGE.
A Freight Train Crushed the
Structure, Which Was Being Re-
built---TWenty Bridge Men Carried
DOWn---0ne Woman Killed.

Denver, Col, July IA special to
the Times from Monument, Col, says:
The local freight on the Santa Fe road
fell through the bridge AT this place to-
day, burying beneath the wreck Mrs.
Albert Cooper and a number of the San
ia Fe bridge gang who were rebuilding
the bridge The number killed is un-
known as twenty cars are piled promis-
cuously on top of the victims.
Mrs. Albert Cooper wife of the en-
gineer OF the bridge gang, was sitting in
q shady place under the bridge. Her
husband shouted to her, but the noise
OF the train drowned his voice and it Isl
certain that she is in the wreck.
There were about twenty men in the
bridge gang. and it is believed ten or
twelve are under the wreck. These
must certainly have been killed. The
engineer escaped. but the fireman. con-
ductor and brakeman went down with
the wreck The bridge was fifty feet
high and about 800 feet long.

been busy all day getting ready for a
trip to Philadelphia tonight in answer
TO telegram from District Attorney
Graham Mrs. Howard received the
notice at noon to-day Mrs. Howard,
when asked about her knowledge of the
Peitzel children, said:
Upon that subject have nothing to
say"
She was told it was reported that shd

Toronto at the time the Peitzel children
were murdered. She replied; Il de-
cline to make any statement on that
subject"
Mrs. Howard's mother here inter
posed with; That report is certainly
not true"
Mrs. Howard said that she was at In
dianapolis part of last September and
October when Howard and the PeitzeI
children Were there. Asked if she
knew the Peitzel children and that the
Peitzel boy had disappeared, Mrs. How
ard said:

a family in existence, and how could I
know what became of the boy? l never

IRON PRODUCTION FIGURES.
The Increase in Pig Iron Output for
the First Half of 1895
Over the First Half Of 1894 Was
Nearly One Hundred Per Cent.
Indications are That the Pro
duction for 1895 Will Almost
Equal That of the Banner Year
Of the Iron Industry.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 1.-THE Bul.
letin of the American Iron and Steel AS
sociation, which issues tomorrow, will
say:
The total production Of pig iron in
the United States in the first half of
1895 was 4,OS755S gross tons, against
2,7179S3 tons in the first half Of 1894,
and 1888, ,4Oj tons in the second half Of
1894 Large as was Tie gain of 1867
SIS tons in the first half of 1895 over the
first half OF 1894, the gain. over the sec4
ond half was only 1888 tons.
In the twelve months from June 30,
1894 to June 30, 1895, we made $685.
963 tons Of pig iron. In the last six
months of 1895 we shall probably
make about five million tons, which
viii bring our total product for 1895 up
to 100000 tons. Our maximum pro
duction was in 1890, when we made
9,2O2, ,7O3 tons. Our next largest pro-
duction was in 1892, when we made o.
$4,000 tons. In 1893 our production
fell to 7,124,5O2 tons, and in 1894 it fell
to 6,657 ,3SS tons.
The production of Bessemer pig iron
in the first half of 1895 was 2,4O2,O2S
gross tons, or over 5S per cent. OF the
total production
The number c. furnaces which were
in blast on June 30, 1894, was los. On
December 81, 1894, the number in blast
had increased to 1S5. On June 30, 1895,
the number in blast was 1S6, while S1l
were out OF blast.
The associations statistics of unsold
stocks of pig iron on June 30, 1895, are
exceedingly favorable for the producers.
The stocks of pig iron which were un-
sold in the hands of the manufacturers,
or their agents at that date and which
were not intended for their own con-
sumption amounted 70 439, 300 gross
tons, a decrease of 15S,39S tons since
December 81, 1894 These figures do
not include pig iron sold and not re-
moved from the furnace bank, nor pig
iron manufactured by rolling mill pro-
prietors for their own use. The largest
decrease in the six months just ended
was, of course, in coke pig iron, but
there was also a large decrease in char
coal stocks, from 25O,1S3 tons to 2OO6S
tons. On June 30 charcoal stocks still
constituted however nearly one-half
of the unsold stocks.
Included in the f39 $50 tons of unsold
pig iron on the 3Oth Of June last, were
10000 tons in the yards Of the America
Pig Iron Storage Warrant Company.
which were yet under the control Of
the makers, the part in these yards not
under their control amounting to 81 300
tons, which, added to the 439, ,29O tons
above mentioned makes a total of 52O,-
$40 gross tons OF unsod pig iron which
were on the market at that date, against
a total Of 661 ,32S tons on December 81,
1894.
The total quantity of stocks in the
above named warrant yards on June
80 was the largest yet recorded, amount
ing to 122,2OO tons.
