THE ADAIR HOG STEALING CASE
Two Fine Shoats Cause a CoIOred
Boy Trouble.

Some weeks since a man named
Jayhart, living near Adair, who
had some thoroughbred hogs, went
TO Arkansas on a visit and when
he came back two of the porkers
were gone. One of them had been
bought by Bill Jeans and another
by Pap Simpson from Warren,
one OF Jess Browns sons, colored.
The buyers knew they had a
couple Of likely shoats, but did not
know just how fine hogs they were
getting, nor did they know they
were the property of a neighbor,
until he came and identified them,
simply by calling The case was
investigated by the commissioner
today and Brown goes to Musko-
gee tonight, in default of $500 bail.

A GOOD WORK.
The ParOchial Mission at st. Johns
Episcopal Church.

The mission services at St.
Johns church are attracting a
great deal of interest and this was
evidenced from the increased and
increasing attendance at them.
DR.. Lloyd's sermons are practical,
earnest and convincing, and his
descriptions of the church and her
teaching must draw those who
hear towards the religious life.
Services are held at S a. m, 4 p.
m, and 5 p. m, and at this last
service the missioner sings a suit
able solo, which gives great salts
faction. DR.. Lloyd announces a
special service for children at
> clock Friday afternoon, and a
meeting for men only will be held
in the church at O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. TO these services as
to all the others all are cordially
invited. The missioner answered
several questions sent in at last
nights service. There can be lit
tie doubt of the great amount of
good that is being done by the st.
Johns mission.

rIy Diamond Ruby Ring.

Like two white stars in heavens crown
Refracting light in distant space;
Thy sparkling rays without a crown
Emits thy beauty and thy grace.
From far-away Kimberly fields
To Californil's golden strands.
Old earth her precious treasure yields
The treasure Of her precious sands.
From Burmah's damp malignant skies
To the heights OF the Pyrences.
The ruby In its richness lies
Like carmine blossoms in the trees.
Red as the noble warriors blood.
When battlefields are drear and dark;
Ancient as the ancient flood.
But bright as an electric spark.

TRANSFER
OF the Moundsville, Wheeling &
BsnwoOd Railroad to
WHEELING RAILWAY co. MEN.
was 1Iads Thursday, and Directors
Of the Latter Company Become
Directors In the Former Howard
Hazlett, Who Was Once Receiver,
Has Been Made General Manager
Of the Line.

A few weeks ago the 1ntelllgencer exc
clGslvely chronicled the transfer of the
Benwood Southern railway to gentle
men interested in the wheeling Rail-
way Company, and the Market Street
Belated came out next day in a weak
effort to show how such deal could
not be made. The formal transfer was
made on Thursday of this week. 1t de-
velops, and the purchasers are as an
nounced in the Intelligencer previously.
The stock was bought by II. h. Con-
derman. of Philadelphia, president of
the Wheeling Railway Company and
then distributed among a few stock
holders Of this company on Thursday.
when the vacancies on the board of al.
rectorB of the Benwood Southern, caus.
ed by the withdrawal Of those who had
sold out, were filled and Mr.. Howard
Hazlett was made manager.
Five of the old board sold out and re-
tired, as follows: W. A. Wilson, e. NJ.
Holiday and Alfred Paul., of Wheel
ing; C. A. Weaver, Of Moundsvllle. and
Robert Mccormick. Of sIstersville.
Messrs. Jere A. Miller, of this city,
and B. F. Peabody. of Glendale, who
did not sell, were retained on the board,
and they, with the following compose
the new board: II. H. Conderman. j. j.
Holloway, Henry N. Russell, L. F. stl-
fel and Howard Hnzlett.
1t would seem that the day is not
very far distant when the two roads
will be consolidated. The termini of
the roads almost touch at Benwood,
and It will create little surprise II the
council of that town is asked to give Its
consent to the connection of the tracks.
At any rate, It is reasonable to pre-
sumo that the new management: will
seek to improve the service between
Wheeling and Moundsville, as fast as
circumstances permit. Manager PAUL
pulled the Benwood Southern up In
great shape and he will have a worthy
successor in Mr.. Hazlett, who acted in
a similar capacity while receiver for
the road. 1t is said in certain circles,
however, that Mr.. Hazlett will act
only temporarily.

IRON AND gEEEI REvIEwED
In the Current Issue of the Ohio Val

$780,
ley Manufacturer.
In its current issue the Ohio Valley
Manufacturers reviews the iron and
steel trade. as follows:
The holiday week was an unusually
quiet one in the iron and steel market.
No business OF any consequence is ex-
pected until after the first Of the year.
Prices are not likely to decline and
when new business is offered It is pre-
dlcted that still higher rates than are
now ruling will prevail. The only tran
saction this week was the sale Of about
5000 tons Of Bessemer pig iron at S25.
1t is said that this price was paid in
the valley for the 10000 ton order re-
Gently given by large steel concern,
for iron to be delivered during the
first half OF next year.
The only line In the iron and steel in
dustry that continues in an unsatis-
factory condition is sheets. One large
manufacturing concern has withdrawn
all quotations and announces that 1t
will make no further quotations until!
trade improves. Stock win be held un-
til prices advance. There is no imme-
date prospects for higher rates in
sheets and no change in the situation
is expected until after the first of the
year. A general meeting Of sheet man
ufactnrers is to be held early in Janu-
airy. when the committee appointed to
prepare plans for a consolidation Of tho
interests will present It's report. II
satisfactory agreement can be entered
into better prices for sheets are assur-
ed. At present the low existing rates
are being cut. One manufacturer
quotes on an inquiry for 500 tons IN I'M
usually low price and was surprised
when informed that the order had been
placed elsewhere at n lower price. No.
q gunge is quoted at 200 to EOS cents
a pound and No. 2S at 2,95 to cents
The leading sheet manufacturing con-
Germ of the Pittsburgh district refuses
to sell No. % at less than $40 cents.
1t Is reported here that tin plate
stocks have been greatly reduced and
that the American Tin Plate Company
contemplate starting the two large Idle
plants in Pittsburgh, the Star and Monon-
gahelN, early next year. An official an
nouncement has been made that orders
for In plate viii now be taken for the
second quarter of 1900. This may result

There have been no sales Of steel bill
lets during the week. One dealer
quotes billets for next year at &S5 50 ana
another at 81. It Is mot likely that
there win be q hxed price for billetS
until buyers begin to place their orders
next month.
The local mills are very busy on rush
work or are closed down for repairs or
stock talsing. Buyers a. well as SELL
ers have Withdrawn from the market
this week, and naturally the trade IL
very quiet. However, It IS the luil
that precedes the storm. And unless
we are mislnformed. there win be q
general move among the small buyers
the first month Of the new year to pro-
vide themselves with pig, steel and an-
ished material. Especially does this ap-
ply to foundry iron. The new concerns
and the increased business Of the old
companies and the experience Of the
last year still fresh In mind win be an
incentive to them to avoid the harass-
ing delays of the past by a shortage Of
material and impatient trade demand.

less than ninety days,
Blllets.-With so many large orders
booked for delivery in the first four
months of 1900, sellers find few who are
willing to entertain any proposition at
the present price, $50. The trade seems
confident that lower rates will prevail.
Finished Materlal.-In sheet bars,
sheet steel, muck bars and skelp iron
there Is little or nothing doing and
prices are weak and uncertain as to the
near future. In structural iron and
steel the case is different 50 many
large contracts still remaining to be
filled that a arm marke: is general.
Old Materlal.-Ths amount Of old
material that has been accumulated
and brought to the market has marked
the enterprise Of the Junk man. but he
has overloaded the market and must
now abide his time or sell cheap.
