THE IRON BUSINESS.
On the Whole Good Showing But
Not Brisk Trade as Some Ex-
pected.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Iron
Age says OF the iron and steel
trades that it looks as though the
enormous wire industry Of this
country will be soon entirely con-
trolled by a series Of associations
closely affiliated with one another.
So far as raw material is con-
cerned, the central west Is again on
the upward movement. There
have been heavy declines Of besse-
mer pig for delivery during the re.
mainder of the year and for the
first quarter of next year. Steel
billets are firm and display an up
ward tendency. Chicago records
sales of thirty.thousand tons of
steel rails this week; and that an
$4,000 ton lot is under negotiation.
Demand car orders are coming up
in that territory and a pretty large
tonnage of bars Is being placed.
In the east, the trade is less in
clined to operate with cyclonic vi
gor. In fact 1t may be justly said
that there is a distinct lull, which
some welcome as affording a need
ed breathing spell, while others
use it as pretext for gloomy fore
bodings. The great majority in
the trade, however, are inclined to
believe in a further advance, for
which the impulse has already
started in the central west.
In foundry iron, the principal
event is the collapse Of the effort
to secure an advance of 20 cents a
ton on pig iron freights on southern
iron to Ohio river points.
Copper is very firm. This week
the first lot OF American copper re-
sold on European account has ar
rived from Liverpool.

HONG KONG, Aug. 22.-Another

Foo Chow. The American mission
has been attacked by a larges and
Infatuated mob, armed with vari-
Gus weapons. The chapel and
school were wrecked and four ma

THOSE JERSEY FIRES.
Crops and Orchards Ruined and the
End is Not Yet.

EGG HARBoR CITY, n. j., Aug.
22.-The forest fire that has been
burning through the bottoms Of
New Jersey since last Wednesday
is as fierce as ever. Fortunately
for Absecom, the fire is being car
ried in a northeasterly direction
and the immediate danger for this
place Is not great. In many cases
the flames swept across the outly-
ing portions of farms and at times
passed within couple Of hundred
yards of buildings. At one time 1t
was within half a mile of group
of houses. Last night it turned to
within a mile of Port Republic. 1t
is now headed towards Pimona.
The present fire is the greatest this
country has ever seen and there Is
seldom a spring or late summer
that fires of greater or less extent
do not break out. Many wheat
patches which were ready for the
cradle have been destroyed. Black.
berry fields, which were in great
promise, have been destroyed.
Fruit orchards near the path Of the
flames are ruined. The burned To-
cation is twelve miles square. Moth
ing but a soaking rain of several
hours duration will stop the flames.

John Browns House Goes Back.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The materi-
ais composing John Browns fort
are to be taken back to Harper's
Ferry in September. Brought here
before the Worlds fair the enter
prise proved unsuccessful. After a
brief existence, full Of vissicitudes,
the historic house fell from the
sheriff's into the wrecker's hands.
1t made way for the stables OF a
department store. Now Harper's
Ferry is to have its own again, as q
contract has been signed to re-
move the material and re-erect 1t
on the original site. Public spirit
ed people contributed the necessary
funds in response to Miss Kate
Fields appeal. The contribution
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railway
takes the form Of free trsnspor.

.rwENrY-oNE BODIES FOUND.
Coroner Believes That There Are
Many More in the Ruins.


Many More in the Ruins.
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 22.-Includ-
ing the body Of General Chas.
Adams, which had been partially
uncovered and identified when the
fire was started in the ruins of the
Gumry hotel this evening, twenty
one bodies have been taken from
the wreck. The latest remains to
be taken out are almost unrecog-
nizable. The fire was started to
destroy the threatening walls. One
of the unidentified bodies proves to
be that of Peter Gumry. One Of
the other bodies is believed to be
the remains of A. s. Blake, Of
Pueblo, and the last may be the
body of William Decker, bell boy,
or w. j. Corson, Of Pueblo. Friends
of w. J. Blake, of Florence, Colo,
are convinced that he was also in
the Gumry when the explosion &C.
Cured. Day Clerk Garvin says the
names OF j. s. Kirk and j. H.
Brown, of Omaha, and Miss Jennie
ID. Howard, Of Boston, Mass, in
the handwriting Of William Rich
ards, the elevator pilot, were prob
ably fictitious. This leaves only
two victims to be accounted for.
Coroner Mastin is still OF the opin-
ion that there are many more
bodies in the ruins.

locked at Erie Basin today. Never
has such powerful looking yacht

her harder bilge and thicker keel
give her an appearance Of greater

English Comm,ssariat at ch,tral.

Even when encamped in far Chitrafs
poor Tommy confides his troubles to me.
What the state Of my letter box would
be should the entire British army ever
have to take the field in foreign cline
I tremble to think. With regard to
Chitral, it seems that the commissariat
leaves a good deal to be desired. AS
1 have not any one on my staff at the
moment who can be spared for visit
to Chitral am not able to say whether
biscuit really has been issued which is
unfit for human food. whether the men
have to pay for bread when the biscuit
is condemned, whether they are charged
excessive prices for watery rum and
microscopic portions of inferior steak.
etc., but I should take it kindly il
somebody on the spot would look into
these matters. AS the above complaints
have reference, not to the active period
of the campaign, but to the camp at
Kulindi, so lately as August 20, there
is no good reason why the feeding ar
rangements should not be in proper
working order.-London Truth.

New Hair Ornaments.

Some ce the new Partisan novelties
in hair mounts are very beautiful-ofr
the head at least. A bunch of luscious
scarlet cherries is attached to a long
gold pin that is to be thrust through the
knot at the back of the head, letting
the cherries droop slightly just above
and behind the ear. Fruit in the hair,
however, under any guise of enamel and
metal, is not to be commended. Its in
congruity is obvious. We have &C
cepted it on our bonnets, where its use
is Less distasteful than the plumage OF
murdered birds, but in the couture the
association is not acceptable. French
women regard their hair ornaments
with great attention, and take as much
care to suitably complete the couture
toilet as that of the corsage. Steel, jet,
gilt, and silver ornaments are especial
ly suited to dark hair; fair-haired
women should wear amber and clear
tortoise shell. For evening wear,
jeweled ornaments are properly much
worn. Except against beautiful neck,
there is no part of a womans toilet
where gems may be so well displayed
as in the hair.-New York Times.

moved about among the passengers
with very evident desire to know who
his fellow-voyagers were, yet with
quite as evident a purpose not to COM

he found a man sitting off to one side,
and with him he entered into converse
ton. They talked Washington and
scenery and delights of river travel, and
one thing and another for awhile, and
then the cautious man got around to
the subject which most interested him.
