THE IRON MARKET
Is Picking Up Rapidly and Prices Are Advanc- ing-LCcaI Producers Hopeful-Tennessee
 Company Has Large Orders on Hand'

The iron market has improved in the past week or two, and is now firm, with steadily increasing demand for all grades. Two or three weeks ago pig iron reached the lowest price in the his tory of it's production In this country, but since that time the price has stiff fened some and now ranges from 10 to 15 cents per ton htgher.
 Those who are familiar with the trade predict that this week will open at an ad- vance of at least 25 cents a ton. If the prediction comes true that means over ,000 a month more for the pig iron pro ducers in the Birmingham district than they now receive for their product.
 General Manager G. B. Mccormack of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, informed an Age-Herald re- porter yesterday that his company has on it's books orders for 250 900 tons of pig iron, and that in the past few days sev- eral large orders had been refused at prevailing prices. The eleven furnaces of the Tennesse Coal, Iron and Railroad company now in blast will require about four months in which to make 250,000 tons At present they have small stock on hand
 The pig iron in stock in the United States at present is just about equal to one months consumption. For the month of March the consumption was in excess of the production. The demand is in creasing and the improvement has a healthy tone to it. MT. Mccormack stated to the reporter that the Tennessee company's sales so far this month have been larger than for corresponding number of days of any month in two years
 MT Mccormack expressed it as his opinion that the iron market would be active from now on, and that prices would range higher.
 MT T. T. Hillman returned from Nash vile yesterday morning. While there he was with officials of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, and he says they are more hopeful over the situation than for a long time past. The NasA- ville contingent of the company, lie says. are beginning to talk "booml' again.
 President Baxter of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has returned in the last day or two from New York, and brings good news with him. He says the people of the east are regaining confidence in this section. and are looking for a great improvement in the immediate future.
 The coal trade is remarkably good for this season of the year. and should iron continue to advance it will likely ad- vance, too.

Blackburn Defines His Position.

Louisville, Ky. April 20.-Senator Jo- seph c. Blackburn has thrown down the gauntlet to those who desire to contest his election to the United States senate and boldly invites a canvass upon the currency question. The senator's posi-
 tion on the silver question has been known, but as he refused to express his views through the public press of the state the impression had gone forth that he was lodging the issue. In an inter- view here today, however he emphat- ically xpressed his continued devotion to the cause of the free coinage of silver. Senator Blackburn says II am in favor of opening the hints of this country to the unlimited coinage of the silver metal on an exact equality with gold. I am op- posed to gold monometallism, and just as much opposed to silver monometal- lism, without reservation or evasion"

THAT LETTER
May Unravel the Mystery of Peter Mack
 lin's Death.


 Memphis, Tenn, April 20.-The death of Peter Macklin, which was investi- gated by a coroners jury today, prom ises to bring to light big sensation, with the trial of his tilted sweetheart for murder as the climax.
 Macklin was a well-to-do restaurant keeper. He died this morning of dis ease affecting his head and lungs, and thought to be pneumonia. He had been ailing over @ week. Among his effects was found a suspicious letter from Miss Mary Hines former sweetheart of his, in which she upbraided him for his de- sertion of her, and threatening that if he did not break off the marriage an- nounced to take place between him and Miss Amelia Stewart he would not live to see her and him as one. At the in quest today it was shown that he had not broken off the wedding engagement and that on the day on which he was taken with the last illness he was at a supper given by his former sweetheart. The jury of inquest arrived at no con- clusion, but will await the result of an autopsy. The body had been shipped out of the city to the home of a relative in East Tennessee.

The Defense of Durant The Lamont h.
 quest Postponed.
 San Francisco, April 20.-Eugene Du- prey, of counsel for Durant, had con- ference this morning with Police Judge Conlan and the detectives. It was de- termined to go on with the preliminary examination of the prisoner Monday next.
 It has leaked out that the defense will be an ingenious one, and 1t will, without exposing Durant to any danger of admis- sion of guilt, bring the defense of insan- ity prominently to the fore. The in- nocence of the defendant will be kept prominently in the front at all times but interwoven with it will be testimony tending to show weak spot in Durants head. At the request of the police Coro- ner Hawkins has postponed the inquest in the case of Blanche Lamont until Thursday next Chief Crowley desires more time to look up evidence.

ALABAMA,s INCOME TAX
Will Reach Nearly Double the Amount
 First Calculated Upon.

The incomes in Alabama make a much better showing than was expected Ear ly in the year it was estimated that about $50,000 would be derived in this state from incomes, but when the United States supreme court few weeks ago rendered a decision in which it was held that the constitution would not permit the taxing of incomes de- rived from real estate, rentals and in- terest on city and state coupons, the es- timate was reduced to about half that sum, or about $25,000 or $30 900
 Reports received by the internal reve- nue collector up to last night indicate that the tax. after deducting the real estate, rentals and bond interests, will still run up close to $50,OO0, or nearly double the original estimate.

Death OF F. e. fimian.

The cruel hand of fate has during the
past six weeks dealt a most terrible
blow to the family Of F. E, Timian.
About April lst the fathers hsaith began
to fail, and though he MAS able to be
around town and do some work, he
gave up his place in the Jackson Milling
Company's mill, here, to try some way
to regain his strength. Shortly after
this Mrs. Iimian became insane and
had to be taken to the asylum at Osh-
kosh, where she still remains, being
unconscious Of the trials through which
her little ones are passing.
After this Mr.. nmian continued to
grow weaker and the physicians pro-
nounoed his case nIe of quick Gonsump-
ton. He kept failing very rapidly, but
few even imagined that the end was so
near, and almost everyon was surprised
to hear that he had passed away Friday
morning, May II, at about II o'clock.
Frederick f. Timian was born in
Pomerania, Prussia, Oh August 10Th,
1910, Sailed for America
in the fall of 1858 and landed in New
York city. Deceased has an elder
brother, Christian, in Waterville, N. Y.
and younger one in Camden, the same
state. He had limited opportunities
for an education when boy. He did
general work until he was q, working
for his board and going to school during
the winter. At the age of II he was
driving mules on the canal between
Utica and Binghamton, n. Y. During
the winter of his 18th year he attended
the academy in Deansville, n. Y. He
started to learn the milling trade in
Milburne, n. Y, where he served 2
years and 10 months, after which he
came West and located in Centralia,
Wis, where IFS was employed as second
miller in the mill now known as the
Jackson Milling Company's mill there
He was head miller there for years
prior to 1884 when he moved to Am
herst and assumed charge of the
jackson mill, which position he held
until heresigned in April of this year.
