.PUzzHNG IRON ] OUTLOOK
Peculiar Pause Marks the Con-
 dition of the Market
RECORD BREAKING OUTPUTS
Both in Coal and Iron by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company's Mines
 and Furnaces.

In a conversation yesterday with State Herald representative Treasurer James Bowron of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company was asked what was the present outlook for iron. He answered decldedlys that be did not know, and knew of nobody who could tell anything about 1t. We were now in the middle of pause in the market that had followed and kept up steadily for two months since the incipient boom of the summer.
 Asked to diagnose the situation, he said the "incipientaboom" was caused by demands that had accumulate ted ever since the shrinkage of production, which began in 1892 on account of fear of a political change, with consequent change in the tariff. Then came the pan ic of 1893, and the autumn of that year saw a period of apathy and misery fol- lowing ruinous losses. The passage of the Wlson-Gorman tariff bill also had depressing effect. Then the spring of 1894 brought the greatest labor disturb ance since IT. and the summer saw failure of the western corn crop, which crippled railroads. Meantime demand to supply needs for railroad and construc- ton of houses had accumulated, while production had been shrinking naturally, because there was no satisfactory re- turn in the business. Last summers pOOHi was GduSCd Dy lHS hully tO 6CS supplies, buyers unnecessarily running prices up upon themselves, all of which led to he ressuscitation of boom town fur naces. The consequence was production had gone beyond all precedents. Now production very nearly balances with the demand. He thought if the market was left to itself without any extraneous disturbance, such as the war furry, it would go along as it had been. As 1t was. nobody could tell anything about the situation as to the future. Every body seemed to be waiting for starting point. Otherwise, everything was going on excellently. The company was beat ing it's own record as never before. Or 1ders were booked for 10000 tons.
 Pratt mines smashed her coal output reeord last week. the figures for the week being 36,734 tons. In 1893 the same week the output was 29,4S6.
 The iron production is also exceptional ly large The company has four fur naces in blast at Bessemer and one at Oxmoor making 700 tons daily, three at Ensley making 550, and the Alice 165 tons. These are the Alabama furnaces, making a total of 1415, tons daily. Two Tennessee furnaces Of the company at South Pittsburg are making from 25O to 300 tons daily. The iCowan furnace was out of blast, undergoing repairs, as was also one at Bessemer, and another at Ensley will soon go into blast. Low sili- coh is still being made at two furnaces. No. at Bessemer and one of the Alices.

COXEY IS GROOMING"
He Will Deliver a Lecture to the Citizens of Birmingham and Ncaty-Date Not
 Given Out as Yet


 General .Coxey,- it is given out. will pay Birmingham a visit and deliver a lecture. It will be ee' remembered that Coxey's liberati ton from prison was re- gently celebrated here, and he is not without his friends.
 MT. F. Victor E. Lynch, journalis t and MT. Duke Miles, both gentlemen doing advance work for the commonwealer, are in the city. They will make an effort to get the opera house, and General Coxey will deliver an interesting and earnest lecture, so his representatives say.
 Everybody remembers Coxey He went to Washington with his army, marching almost the entire distance, for the purpose of making a speech on the capitol steps. He was arrested for "get- ting on the ygrass.' and gained quite g. reputation through the country for that display of ungra tified valor.
 Of late he has been in politics at Mas sillon, O., his home. His ieanings and ideas are towards the populist side, and his speeches are said to be in that line. It is useless to deny that Coxey will daw a big house, and instead of the opera house his friends had better secure the wigwam.

A GOOD SUGGESTION,

Heretofore, for Christmas our people have been in the habit of spending their money for fancy odds and ends of no practical use, but merely on account of being pretty; but of late years the GUS tom of making useful gifts has been on the increase and growing in favor every year. It ifs substantial testimonial of love, and need not be expensive. A rock ing chair. a rug. or some piece of furni- ture selected from Ben M. Jacobs & Bros immense stock of elegant goods will suffice.

WILL FIGHT THE CASE.

The Police Officers Not Uneasy About the
Pickett Suit Against Them.
Chief of Police Wilkerson, Sergeant
Ellison and Jailer Disbrow do not take
the matter of the suit against them for
$20,000 damages by Philip Pickett Sc
riously.
II don't know much about the case,"
said Chief Wilkerson today. 81 was not
there when the arrest was made, but
am in hearty concurrence with the action
the boys took in the matter. l believe
they did just what they believed to be
right, and we will fight the case out on
those lines if we have to. We have no
doubt about the character of the house
and we believe we can prove it. | don't
care to talk much about it, though"
Jailer Disbrow said: 81 believe it is
great big bluff and that it will never get
to trial They are making what the boys
call grand stand play but it won't win,
anyway"
Sergeant Ellison, who was commander
of the rading expedition, said:
''NO officer acted as the petition states,
l know that We entered the house
very quietly and said we wanted only the
couple upstairs, but finally took along
the entire bunch. As to the incident in
the petition regarding Mr.. Wait and his
wife, it is wholly false. Mrs.
Pickett asked US if we wanted
them, as they were in the other
house. l knew Wait was an invalid and
we said we did not want them. The girl
who gave her name as Iobing is not
named Tobing and we are not prepared
now to make her name public We
know all about the place and will make
it warm for those people if they push
the suit. There was no conduct at the
house that night by any of US that was
unoff1cerlike or ungentlemanly. The
officers with me were McElroy, Camp
bell and Ewing"

A Bride Objects to Black Horses.

The color of the horses attached to
the cab for the bride and groom
caused serious trouble at a Philadel-
phia wedding, the bride refusing to
bulge from the house until different
animals were secured to draw the car
rage She soon made it evident that
she was going to be the man of the
house, and her refusal to enter upon
married life with two dark horses
drawing her and her husband led to
the change of the team After an
hours delay the hack came back with
two white horses, and, with these as
a good omen, the determined bride
said she was happy.

Both of the gentlemen named are
members of the Pan-American railway

the interview that the Mexican govern
ment has finished the survey for the
proposed road running through Mexico
to the south.
The Mexican surveys go to the Gauta-
malan line, the map of which will at
once be sent to Washington. The road,
it is hoped, will some time unite all the
American republics. Mexico has but a
few hundred miles of road to build south

ern railway. to put the road TO the Qua
temalan frontier.

FIRST REFORM BATTLE

Municipal League is Devot1ng Its Energies
to Election of Philadelphia Councilman
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Philadelphia
is voting today for candidates for mayor,
receiver of taxes, twelve police magis-
trates, eleven select councilmen and
twenty nine common councilmen. The
weather is mild and spring like with
bright sunshine The Republican can
didate for mayor is City Solicitor Chas.
F. Warwick; for receiver of taxes, VIM.
]. Ronnell at present temporarily filling
that place. The Democratic standard
bearer is Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison,
his companion on the ticket being a Re-
publican, Col. Sylvester A. Bonniffen, jr.
There is unusual interest in the cleo
ton and the vote up to II a. N. is said to
be unusually heavy. Two reform organ
izations, the municipal league and the
citizens committee of '95 have refrained
from expressing preference as regards
the head of the ticket, contenting them
selves with opposition to councilmen
whose records justify them in demand
ing that they be turned down.
Governor Pattison, in an interview to-
day, expressed himself as confident that
he would be elected by about 10000
plurality. On the other hand Mayor
Stuart and other Republican leaders
claim their ticket will win by at least
$4,000 plurality. The reformers making
an aggressive fight for good councilmen
and will undoubtedly win in many wards.
The municipal league has watchers
employed in nearly every one of the
1000 divisions of the city, and is making
determined effort to prevent cheat
ing.
Reports from the strongholds of the
"Pennsylvania Democracy" the faction
opposed to the leadership of national
chairman Harrity, indicate that the fol-
lowers of this section of the Democratic
organization are lending their support
to Pattison.
