IRON TRADE IMPROVEMENTS.

Chicago, November 1.-THE Indus

Iron has experienced the impulses
of a new and more active life. Pig
iron has again advanced from % to Sc
cents per ton. according to delivery

to S11.75. Southern foundry is also
correspondingly higher and No.
foundry IS now selling at $ll.4O and
better. Orders during the past week
have been the largest in many months.
They come from many sources and in
dictate a wide awakening of industrial

of finished mill products there is much
better inquiry But the mills have
been famished for orders and there is
no improvement in prices.

QUEER HOLD-UP
OF A FRESNO|TE,
Claims He Was Forced by
Two Men to Sign
a Note.
ONE HAD A REVOLVER.
Thrust the Muzzle Against His
Head and Ordered Him
to Write.
DEATH WAS THE ALTERNATIVE
Yielded to Their Demands to Save His
Life-The Alleged Robbers
Arrested.
DEATH WAS THE ALTERNATIVE

FRESNO, CAL, May &c. L. Ferrel to-
day swore to a complaint in Justice st.
Johns court, charging George Rupert and
Samuel Packwood with robbery. Rupert
was Immediately arrested and procured
bail, with his wife and Mrs Sarah Brown
as sureties. Packwood was arrested at
Santa Cruz on telegraphic warrant dur
ing the afternoon.
Ferrel alleges that Rupert and Packwood
forced him to sian note in favor of Ru-
pert 10 the amount of $50.
According to his statement they got him
into Rupert's saloon on pretense of get
ting drink. There was no one else in the
room at the time. Packwood drew a pistol
and leveled it at the complainant's head
Rupert closed the doors of the place, and
while Packwood was holding the pistol to
Ferrel's head the note was produced. He
was threatened with death if he would not
sign it. He did as directed, as he was in
great fear of his life at the time.
Rupert tells different story. Ferrel
had been tending bar in his saloon and
borrowed $50 from him. Rupert became
distrustful of Ferrel and insisted on a note
for SEQ. The saloon-keeper claims that he
did not make any pretense of force. After
signing the note Ferrel went about town
telling that Rupert and Packwood had
forced him to sign it.
Rupert says that when he heard this he
became very angry and went before United
States Court Commissioner Prince and
swore to complaint charging Ferrel with
opening letter which had been left at the
saloon while Ferrel was in his employ.
The examination of Ferrel before Prince
resulted in dis ismissal.
The case is attracting considerable atten-
tion. George Rupert has been in the
saloon business here almost since the
founding of the city. Packwood is well
known throughout the county.

Affairs OF THE ISLANDS.
Princess Kaiutans VII Get tho Pension
Granted,

Granted.
HONOLULU, HAWAII, May 10.AThe
grant of $1,000 year pension to Princess
Kaiulani has become law.
Julien D. Hayne of the Hawaiian Maya
zine married a rich widow last year in
Florida, protesting to be wealthy coffee
planter of twenty-five years experience in
Hawaii. Her son, in Ohio, is trying to
learn Haynes record, which is mystery
up to three years ago. He has learned that
Hayne insured his mothers life for SIC, ,0O0
and believes her to be in danger from him.
The son is taking measures for her pro-
lection.
Damon's bill for refunding bond s was de-
feated in the Senate by a vote of Z to on
April q. Capitalists are generally opposed
to the measure, being un willing to lose so
convenient an investment for their surplus
dividends as Hawaiian bonds at 6 per cent.
The subject of new loan for public i'm
provements is under active discussion in
the Senate. The only question is whether
to seek low rate of interest in London,
allowing a large discount, or to place the
bonds in Honolulu at 6 per cent or little
less. Local capitalists are hungry for the
latter arrangement as an investment for
the large sugar dividends now pouring in.

SAN DEN|TO GRAND JURY
Ex.County Treasurer Montgom-
cry Indicted on Charges of
EmbeZZlement.
Outcome of a Fierce Political Fight
That Has Been Waged for
Years.

HOLLISTER, CAL, May 9.-The Grand
Jury to-day returned an indictment of six
counts against e. B. Montgomery, for
merly Treasurer of San Bsnito County.
The indictment charges the embezzlement
of public money.
Three months ago Montgomery resigned
from office and made good several thou
sand dollars shortage, and it was gener-
ally supposed this was the end of the
trouble. Judge Breen, however, called a
special Grand Jury session to investigate.
The jury was composed OF farmers, who
probed deeply into the conduct of every
county officer, and openly announced their
intention to make clean sweep"
Montgomery is well known throughout
the State. and is one of the most popular
men in the county. His losses are attrib-
uted more to carelessness and inability to
resist the opportunities of friends than to
dishonesty. The indictment is the out
come of a fierce political fight that has
been wAged in this county for some years.
Montgomery bail of $4,000 was furnished
within few minutes after the return OF
the indictment was made public. The
jury has several cards mp its sleeve yet,
and it is reported that more indictments
for misconduct in office will follow.
