BAD FOR MAILING
The Testimony Yesterday Was Very Sug-
 gestive of the Scaffold

Cincinnati, June 1.-The Walling trial was resumed this morning. Cabman John Bell, who drove Pearl Bryan to the Indiana house on the night of her ar rival, swore positively that Pearl Bryan asked for Alonzo Walling as well as Scott Jackson on that night, and further that the note she wrote and which he carried to the dental college was addressed to both. In the Jackson trial Bell did not mention this fact. 3T
 Mrs. Bowers, who lives in Northport, testified that she heard carriage rapidly driven by her house on the night of the murder. Later in the night, about 3 o'clock, she heard a man running as if out of breath. He stopped to rest at her window and she heard him say: 'Tf don't run they'll catch me-" She was satisfied the man was colored.
 The carriage struck rail and stopped near her house when it first passed. She heard a man say: Why don't you get out and help him?" Then she heard a woman's voice. Mrs. Bowers contradict ed herself on cross-examination and ap- peared to be restless and uneasy.

Is the American Manufacture Ter on the Iron
 and Steel Trade.
 Pittsburg, June 1.-The American Man. ufacturer in it's edition tomorrow, will say concerning the iron and steel trade;
 The past week seems to have been un- usually quiet in the local iron and steel market. General inactivity has been the status of the trade for many weeks past, but the last week has been decidedly monotonous. In all branches the waiting policy seems to be generally adopted. Nobody is buying anything they can do without just now, consequently the vol ume of business Is small To further de- lay the expected improvement troubles over the wage question are feared. Ac- cording to present indications there will be difficulty in arranging terms for the coming season in some departments of mill work. However, there seems to be the same faith in the future and the same belief that big improvement is not far off.
