hand to attend the National convention to-
morrow. states that he can not vote to ac-
cept the proposed settlement of the strike.

they Will not abide by any agreement that
will advance prices. In that State. The ILL
nos miners have no hope except tin local
strike and that would be disastrous II work
was resumed in other States. President
Carson thinks that II the agreement Is ac-

They were both old-time steno1-
rapher0; employed somewhere by the
week, but the consciousness Of being
able, at will, 10 produce pages of hens
tracks which only they could decipher
and sometimes even they failed to do
so-invested them with q feeling OF
intense superiority to the rest Of man
kind.
But this normal feeling was for the
moment usurped by one of humility, as
they sat on the sofn, the light turned
gently down, and the soft radiance of
the Pickering jet in the street alone
illuminating the apartment.
1t was an hour for confession, and he
paved the way by saying:
1.-THE first job I ever struck I lost
through carelessness. My employer
dictated a letter to a client, asking him
to meet him at hotel called the Seven
Ravens. I wrote it out the Seven Ele-
plants"
"A wholesale chemist was my first
employer" she murmured. "He used
to keep diary. One day he dictated to
load of sulphuric acid. Quite good
days business
"How did you transcribc it?" he in
quired eagerly, for he had registered
a VOW in his inmost soul that he would
never marry a perfect idiot.
81 didn't get it quite right. Bought
n carboy of sulphuric acid. Good GodI
It's poisonous!'"
He moved little way from her, but
remembered his own early struggles
and edged back again.
Dearest" he whispered, do you re-
member the conversation which nomin-
ated Garfield?"
She thought he was trying to find out
how old she was, but curiosity got the
better of discretion, and she confessed
to dim memory Of that occasion.
al was hired by the Times then to re-
port the speeches. A New Yorker got
up and said the dissensions among their
opponents were very timely, for they
bid fair to create q break in the ranks
of the democratic party"
ooh, tell me-" cried the fair girl, with
a sudden accession of interest, chow did
you get it?"
His head fell on his breast.
81 cannot. I dare not tell you"
Rising, She turned the lamp down still
lower. "This man said the discussions
among their opponents bid fair to Gre
ate breach in the ranks of the demo-
cratic party?"
"He did! And transcribed it pants
OF the democratic party and what is
more, it was printed in the paper that
way the very next morning. Chicago

CHARLESTON, w. Va. January n
The rumor is again started that Judge J.
j. Jackson. of the United States District
Court of West Virginia, viii shortly re-
sign the judgeship ana 20 on the retired
list with pay. according to the Federal
statute made and provided for retired
judges. On the heels Of this rumor comes
;he one that in the event of Judge Jack
sons resignation the friends Of Governor
MacCorkle win urge his appointment by
President Cleveland to thc judseship 10
succeed judge jackson. which would ne
cessitate the resignation of Governor
MacCorkle as the chief executive of the
State. Those close TO Governor MIcCor-
kle state that there is nothing i'm the
rumor though it has been current for
some days. The Republicans are evil
denuy expecting something of the kind TO
happen, as Senator Reed stated TO the
correspondent of the Register that he was
not "a candidate for president OF the SEN
ate. because if he We're made president of
the Senate he would become the chief eX-
ecUtive of the State i'm the event of the
resignation of the Governor, and that
would prevent his becoming postmaster
at ClarksbWg. which it seems has been
offered him and which would insure u
longer term and pay "a better salary tnan
the office of Governor of the state.

THE IRON TRADE
Throughout the Country Continues to Show
General Dizziness


Pittsburg, Pa, January 1.-THE
American Manufacturer, IN its weekly
review, will say tomorrow:
The iron and steel situation through
out the country shows nothing more
than a general dullness, and the same
old waiting for something to turn up.
At no point is there anything special
noted by our market correspondents
this week. In. the eastern market
trade is reported as being Of a disap-
pointing character. At Philadelphia
the activity noted recently suddenly
stopped, and a large amount OF PROM
iscd business is being held up. \
great deal Of structural iron is expect
ed. In the west. the market is still
waiting for the expected Improvement.
The most activity is shown in mer-
chant steel, as the makers Of agricul-
tural implements are now arranging
for supplies. Pig iron in the Chicago
market shows a little more life than
it did some time ago. Southern brands
are q little weaker. Louisville reports
q much better feeling in pig iron. 1t
seems that some extremely low prices
are still being taken for Bessemer
steel. Wheeling reports quite low fig
Ures in that line. but generally speak
ing. the furry shown recently has sub
sided. There are no new developments
shown in pool matters.
Grey Forge pig iron is quoted at
