RAISE IN PIG IRON.
Local Manufacturers Hope That Bessemer
 Pig Has Gone Up.

Thursdays press dispatches brought the news from Cleveland, O., that the Besse- mer pig iron trust had about decided to raise the price of it's product 50 cents per ton above the price now existing, to go into effect August 1. The dispatch stated that it was almost positive that, under the laws of Ohio, such a combination as this is entirely illegal and that it will be fought to the end.
 The iron manufacturers here say that, while no Bessemer pig iron is made in this district, it will in all probability en- able the makers of non-Bessemer pig iroEs to raise their prices considerably, and all of them seem anxious that the telegram from Cleveland should prove true.

GATES AND a GATEMAN.
The D. G. G.R&W. Make an Important Change

The D. G. R & w. Make an Important Change.
On the 10Th inst the d. G. Il. & w.
passenger trains began running with the
exits all guarded with gates on either
side. AS only one gateman is provided
for each train, all the passengers except
those in the parlor car are obliged to
enter and also TO make their exit through
the same gateway. The porter of the
parlor car acts as gate keeper for that
car.
AS the gateman inspects all the tick
cts, a longer stop of trains at the stations
is often necessitated. The main object
seems to be to compel passengers to pur-
chase tickets before boarding the train.
The same scheme has been tried on the
G. e. w. NJ. trains for few weeks past
and the benefits seemed to warrant the
company in doing the same thing OH this
line also The company have gotten out
some little.dodgers, containing the new
rules, for the benefit of passengers. We
give some of these rules below
Purchase tickets at ticket office and
show them to car gateman before getting

Tickets will be accepted by conductor
