WAITING FOR FIRE.

Our good people have even quit talking
about water work g and fire department. or
II seems so at least. Well just walt until we
have another fire, then we will hear some
more talk. Talk is all right, but wont put out
a fire. Maybe Abbeville wont have another
fire? Well that IS possible, not probable.
No, IL is not possible for such good fortuoe to
be with us. Good people try and wake up,
and do something on this line.

THE IRON TRADE.

Unless Some Unforeseen Fatality
Occurs, business VIII Be Good.
New York. May 2S.-The Iron Age
today says:
The improvement has now spread to
practically every section of the country
and to every department with very few
exceptions. The consumption is grow
ing and the demand is much better,
buyers having given up resistance.
Unless some fatality throws back the
iron trade. the balance of the year
promises to be quite good.
Thus far only very few eastern con-
Germs have followed the initiative of
the west in advancing wages, simply
because the Improvement in prices is
just beginning to reach them.
The central west has had another
week of activity and especially in
bessemer pig iron. Eastern buyers of
soft steel are waking up. Prices for
finished iron and steel in the west are
up from 81 to 81 per ton, with further
advances imminent. The cast is fol-
lowing slowly.
The steel rail trade is in better shape
although current reports are exagger-
ated, but there is certainly a very
substantial Improvement over 1894
The wire industry is quite active.
There has been a sharp advance in all
nails in the west.

Kansas City, May pa special to

Last night half dozen deputy United
States marshals raided a camp of
whisky peddlers on the line of the
Kickapoo reservation. four miles north

A special to the Star from Oklahoma
says:
All last night the road to Sweeney's
bridge, on the edge of the Kickapoo
country, was crowded with horsemen
and vehicles. The dust was sitting as
the horses dragged through the deep

trees in the road. The crowd had filed

Cheyenne, Wyo., May 2S.-In the inves-
tigation before the coroner's jury, yester-
days accident on the Denver Pacific, by
which Engineer Gray and Fireman Fuller
were killed, it was shown by the testi-
mony of the passenger train crew that
the freight train followed them closely
out of the Cheyenne yards The passen-
ger train was running on schedule time,
and had not slowed before being run into
by the freight. The following verdict was
rendered:
1--WE find from the evidence that the
deceased came to their deaths by being
crushed on their freight engine in a colli-
sion with passenger train ahead, said
collision being caused by the freight train
starting from Cheyenne station ahead of
schedule time, and running faster than
schedule time, contrary to the rules and
regulations of the railroad company. We
ma also that a heavy fog was prevailing
at the time of the collision, which con-
tributed to the result{'

MYSTERY SOLVED.
Omaha Woman and Her Children
Found.

Omaha Woman and Her Children
Found.
Omaha, May 2S.-A Missouri river
fisherman today found the bodies of
Mrs. Ida Notzen and Der two young
children.
Mrs. Notzen is the Omaha school
teacher whose mysterious disappear
ance with her children last fall created
such a sensation in Omaha. She left
a letter saying she would kill herself
and her children, because she had not
been appointed to a position in the
office of state superintendent of public
instruction. Search at the time re-
vealed nothing that would indicate
that Mrs. Notzen had carried out her
threat. She was a. very intelligent
woman of 40, with a good standing in
state educational circles. Her husband
is a Chicago merchant, she teaching in
Omaha, and residing with her parents.
The bodies were found firmly tied to-
gether with heavy rope. Evidently
the miserable woman had taken her
children in her arms, twisted the rope
around them and, after binding their
three bodies together, leaped into the
river. The clothes of the children were
tied around their necks as if having
been strangled before being carried
into the water.

Boise, Ida, May pa Statesman
special from Chicago says: A colony
has been organized in Chicago which
will settle in Idaho and make a spec
ialty of prune culture
Among the original members are J.
C. Fortiner, Charles B. Cox, DR.. ]. B.
Burns. H. A. Edwards. ex-city engi-
neer; Mrs. ]. c. Pollock and Mrs. J.
L. S. Hall, who have just returned
from an investigation tour to the new
home of the colonists.
1t is located in the fertile Payette
valley in Canyon county, Idaho. seven
miles east of the town of Payette, and
about sixty miles northwest of Boise.
All the members of the committee are
enraptured with that country and are
telling wonderful tales of what can be
grown there; cucumbers 26 inches
long and weighing ga pounds each;
60-pound watermelons; strawberries
1O1a inches in circumference, which
average 10 to a quart; tomatoes
weighing over pounds apiece, etc.
1t is also declared that everything
which will grow in the temperate zone
cereals, vegetables and fruits-will
luxuriate there. The site selected by
the colonists is a tract of six thous-
and acres.
Each colonist will have farm of
not less than 20 nor more than 40 acres
and also one-acre or two-acre lot of
100 feet frontage on boulevard which
will enclose a central park a mile
long and 26O feet wide in which will
at first be built a town hall, a public
school house and d church. Already
over 200 heads of families, represent
ing nearly 1000 people, have agreed
to join the colony.
Thirty-fve families are from New
York and Boston and the others from
Chicago. They have representatives
of every trade and profession. The
colony will leave here for Idaho on a
special train about Aug. 1, and the
second one about a month later.

SUPREME COURT CASES.
There Are sixty-Four on the Docket
Which Have Been Argued. But
Not Decided.

Washington, May 23-There are sixty
four cases on the Supreme Court docket.
which have been argued and have not
been decided. 1t is expected that conclu-
sionS will be reached in a majority Of
these cases before the final adjournment
on the third of June, but it is understood
some of them will, as usual, go over until
the next term of the court. The most i'm
portant of these cases are those concern
ing the validity of judgments against Am
erican citizens obtained in foreign courts,
that of the Consolidated Electric Light
company VS.. the Mckeesport Electric
Light Company, involving a contest be-
tween the Edison and Sawyer-Mann pat
ents and the DebS habeas corpus case.
Others of more than ordinary interest
are those of the United States VS.. the
Union Pacific Railway Company and the
Western Union Telegraph Company. IN
which the question involved is whether
the Union Pacific had the right under its
charter to transfer its telegraph line to
the Western Union Company; the conSti-
nationality of the lottery law of the last
Congress-; the South Carolina diSpenSary
cases; that of Lee Moon Sing, a China
man, involving the Chinese exclusion act,
and the case of Burr and Aardwick, in
volving the date on which the present tar
IF law went into effect. The day of final
adjournment falls about two weeks later
this term than ordinarily, owing to the
rehearing in the income tax cases and
the presentation of the South Carolina
tariff and lottery cases.

Houston, Texas, May 23.-The weather
was clear and bracinS this morning, but
the streets were too sloppy for the
parade Of the United Confederate veter-
ans, which was postponed until tomor-

disseminating of books and literature
which are unkind and unfair to the

Rev. DR.. J. ". Jones, the fighting par

and held that the defendant, Dennis
Ryan, of st. Paul, now in possession, was
not entitled to hold the property. The
mine formerly belonged to the Bassick
Mining company. The last year it was
in operation it produced over 100000. The
stockholders became involved in a row
among themselves, and the result was
that in 1887 the property was sold under
executions. The plaintiff in this suit.
James Staples, claimed the property under
one Judgment, and the defendant, now in
possession, under another judgment.
Judge Riner's decision places the title in
Staples. The mine is now under about
1900 feet of water and it is estimated
that it will cost to put the property in
operation between 100000 and S150, 900.
The decision leaves the property still in
the hands of Mr.. Ryan upon his filing
bond with the court, which will be done
as soon as possible. The case will be

RuMoRs ABOUT scHoFIELD.
1t Is Said He Will Be a Free silver
Democratic Candidate.

Atlanta, Ca, May Especial repre-
sentatives of the Journal sent to Houston
to report the Confederate reunion wire
the Journal that the visit of General
Schofield has developed a political sensa-
ton. 1t is stated in Houston that General
Scliofield will be candidate for the pres
idency, and his visit, first to the military
encampment at Memphis, and his going
thence to the Confederate reunion at
Houston, is in the interest of his candl-
dacy.
Generals Wheeler and Joe Johnson. free
silver leaders of Alabama, are said TO
have planned this affair, and It is said 10
be a scheme to capture the soldiers vote
and result in General SchOfelc'S nominal
ton on the free silver ticket.
This is denied by General SchOfeld, but
the talk in Houston has beSJme so open
and general that there appears to be
much foundation for the report. 1t is
now believed Speaker Crisp referred to
General Schofield when he alluded 10 d
western man with a war record.
