Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume Of the

Putting together the reports from var

been nm encouraging activity in that
metal in the past ten days. Bessemer
pig has seen n lull, but in foundry and

good share OF the going business, but
without any improvement In prices. In
eastern Pennsylvania and IN the New
York market, larger sales Of Alabama
iron have been attended with further
cuts. Detroit has had larger purchases
OF pig iron in the week than for many
weeks preceding. There is a better feel

MINISTER MAULED.
Rev. E. Smlts Brutally Beaten
by Saloonkeepers.
Doucet. Aberle and Schook. Under
Bonds-The Case VIII be
Hoard on Tuesday Next.

Shortly after the supper hour Monday
evening the town was aroused TO high
pitch OF excitement by the news that
Rev. f. Smits had been assaulted and
badly beaten by William Doucet and
Casper Aberle, saloon keepers.
The trouble grew out Of the recent
organization in Crystal Fails of n law
and order league, Mr.. Smts being an
active member oi the league.
On Monday evening Mr.. Saints walked
down Superior avenue, looking into the
saloonsand noting that they were open
for business, Monday being an election
day. He was metnear the opera house by
Doucet and Aberle, words led to blows
and the reverend gentlemen was severely
beaten about the head and face.
Stories OF the affair are conflicting, one
being 10 the effect that Doucct and
Aberle were in the formers saloon and
seeing Mr. Smits pass by and peer into
the saloon. went out and followed him
down street, oyertnking and assaulting
him near the opera house. Eye wit
nesses to the affair swear TO having seen
both Doucet and Aberlc strike the
reverend gentlemen, though they claim
That Doucet did most OF the Struggling"
Aherle. however, denies having struck
Mr.. Smts, but says he gave him II push,
while Doucet shows cash on one hand
aud claims that Mr.. Snlits struck nj him
with a knife, nfleting the wound.
This story, however, is given little or
no credencc by those that know Mr..
Smits. He is n quiet, elderly gentlemen,
Of slim build, and is said TO have made
no effort whatever 10 resist his assail.

men, in the prime Of life.
BE that as il may, Mr.. Smits waf

and the matter will be sifted to th,
bottom. The case will be heard befor,

Tuesday next. In the meantime William

as predicted in TnE DIAMOND DRILL last
week The independent Republicans"
gathered in the front room OF the Re-
porter building and endorsed the nomi-
necs OF the Democratic convention. The
string was well laid and nll that
was to pull il and spring the ticket on
the voters.
AT the independent Republican"
county convention there were four dele

one, the defeated candidate for county
road commissioner, from Bates. Ander-
son was there for the purpose OF
accepting" the nomination for county
road commissioner from the mugwumps.
after being honestly defeated in the Re-
publican county convention, but was
promptly turned down by the Iron
Riverites. who were evidently pledged to
endorse the ticket mapped out for the
Democrats by O'Brien and his scollengues,
and were determined 10 do so.
The mugwump ticket will appear
before the voters but not under two dill
iercnt heads, as was iondly hoped and
expected by iusionists.
Even the Democrats OF the county will
not claim the fusion ticket as the
product Of Iron county Democracy,
while true Republicans blush ut the
thought that the &. o. y. has harbored
within its folds traitors who would
stoop to such venomous trickery for the
purpose OF acceding TO Democracy and
soreheadism n possibility OF ascendency.
But, THE DIAMOND DRILL regrets TO
say, il has harbored them, and the arch
traitor is Paddy O'Brien, oi Iron River.
Knowing that the Republican party Is
in the majority in Iron county, Paddy
claims 60 be n Republican,, that he may
stand in with the Republican party.
Iron River is a Democratic stronghold,
hence, Paddy supports the Democratic
candidates with his repeater while claim
ing TO be IA Republican, that he may
also stand in with the Democratic party.

cratic ticket, and now the Democratic

attempts 20 stab Republicanlsm in the

county. who, while attempting To look
in two directions at one time, finds him
sell so squarely astridc the fence that he
dare not come out honestly and pro-
claim his principles, he they Republican
or Democratic. Such Is the man who
has had the drawing up Of tho mugwump
ticket that Is 90 be sprung on the voters
OF Iron county under two different
heads
lie has gone too far to turn bnck; he
has proven himself, beyond peradven-
ture, a traitor to tho Republican voters
Of Iron county, and they should, and
undoubtedly will sec 10 IL, that this last
attempt at betrayal OF their confidence,
be even more disastrous to him and the
Democratic and mugwump parties which
he upholds. than his two faced actions
