RAIL POOL DISSOLVED

BechuSe OF observation-disclosures OF
dnctIOn Now Probable.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. s.-The rail pool
was dissolved yesterday in New York,
because of dlssenslons among the east
ern members, some OF whom claimed that
a few Of the manufacturers were Offering
rails below legitimate figures. Rails
have been sold in the east as low as $50
per ton at the works, and the western
mills Will be Obliged TO reduce their
price to nearly the same figure.
The Carnegie people have been seen and
confirm the story Of dissolution OF the
Association of Rail Makers. 1t Is stated
that prices OF rails at Pittsburgh Will
now range between $50 and $9l, and from
81 to $22 west.
In December last rail makers reduced
the price from S2S to $25, and the contln-
ued decline OF the prices of raw material
enables the manufacturers to now make
further reduction. 1t is probable that
greatly Increased production this year
will result from the action nf the manu-
faCturers, as the railroads OF the country
will likely avail themselves OF the low
rates to renew traclSage with new rails
This will mean a general Improvement In
the iron trade. giving employment to q
large force OF men now idle.

Hanged for Wife.Murder

Baltimore, August 13.-Peter Mona
han, "A years of age, was hanged here
today for the murder of his wife. The
crime was committed on May 25, 1897,
and Monahan was convicted and SEN
fenced on June 18th. The drop fell at
1856 o'clock a. m.
Monahan spent the last night Of his
life quietly and without showing any
anxiety whatever regarding his ap-
preaching end. He paced up and down
the corridor in front of his cell until
midnight, when he retired and was
soon in a deep sleep. AT 5 O'Clock this
morning he was awakened and prepa-
rations for the execution were begun.
The final rites of the Catholic church
were performed, the usual breakfast
was served after which the condemned
man spent an hour chatting cheerfully
with those who surrounded him. To
Frank Watcher, a member Of the Jail
board, who visited him about half an
hour before the march to the gallows
began, Monahan said: Goodbye, but
I'll see you outside when I go to the
scaffold. I'll wrestle with you on the
scaffold and I'll bet I throw you. If I
on have time on the scaffold. I'll
wrestle with you in the green fields be-
yond." This was said with a jolly air
as IL Monahan were just going down
the bay for q picnic. Monahan retained
his composure to the end.

Enough in Bond to Last for Twelve Years.
There is enough whiskey already man.
ufactured in this country to-day to last
the consumers for twelve years to come"
This assertion was made yesterday by
one of the most prominent wholesale
whiskey dealers in this city. During the
latter part of May the leading distillers
of rye whiskey in the East held a meet
ing in New York city, and arrived at the
conclusion that there was an overproduc-
ton Of whiskey, and, with the exception
of three of the representatives, who were
present at the meeting, an agreement
was reached among the remaining dis
tillers that they would shut down on the
manufacture of whiskey from the 1st Of
July until September /. At that meeting
it was given out that the annual con-
sumption of whiskey in this country was
60, 900, 600 gallons, and that at the time Of
the meeting 20, OOO,0 600 gallons were still in
the bonded warehouses. According to the
estimate made at the New York meeting,
5000, 600 gallons of whiskey are consumed
every month in this country.
The compact Of the distillers represen-
ted at that gathering was that they would
cease manufacturing for two months.

culations, 10, 0OO,O 900 gallons would be con-
sumed, which would leave an equal
amount still in the bonded rehou
at the beginning of September. the time
agreed upon when a resumption OF the
manufacture would be made. According
to the foregoing statement, that there is
already manufactured enough whiskey
to supply the country for twelve years,
there must be something radically wrong
with the figures given out at the New
York neutrality-suspicious. American.

old boy, to the penitentiary, convicted
of stabbing a playmate. Governor Rus
sell viii try to place McCarty in a re-
formatory. The sheriff reported to
Governor Russell, and the Bracket
lynching was discussed. Some of the
lynchers are known and Governor Rus

quite probable that bench warrants

the Jail are known. Their prosecu-
ton is certain. Smith and Ramsey, of
Weaverville, relatives of the outrag-

collected by the solicitor. None of the
lynchers were masked. Many of the
persons who stormed the Jail were
drunk. The governor has official report
