better than any one else. One Of the
surprises Of the week was accorded .
Pittsburgh broker. 1t has been bruited
about that no Bessemer pig iron could
be had at any price for immediate or
future delivery inside Of 1883. The bro
ker bought 1000 tons OF pig Iron at Vale
ley furnaces at $2l, and was offered an
eQunl quantity at the same price for
almost immediate delivery. In fact the
first lot called for prompt shipment.
The Bessemer pig makers have been
itching for the past month to advance
the price to S2l in the valleys and buy
ers have been led TO believe that none
could be had for even twice the market
price. The output OF the valley fur
naces never was so large in the history
OF the iron trade.

CLEVELANDERS AROUSED.

Business Men Hold an Antt-BoycOtt
Meeting and Raise Fund 20 Fer
ret ont the Dynamiters-A Dena-
goguc's Plaint.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. August a.
Five hundred business men Of cleve-
land held an anu-boycott meeting this
afternoon in the chamber of commerce
rooms. A fund Of $4,000 was started
to ferret out the criminals who are dyn-
amitlng cars and creating disorder in
the city. In q few minutes time not
less than 5000 was subscribed and the
rest of the amount viii be fully made
up tomorrow.
The meeting was largely attended
and 1t was a representative one in ev-
cry respect. Millions Of dollars were
represented in the men present. ViEor-
Gus speeches denouncing the boycott,
strike disturbances and disorder were
made by ]. G. w. Cowles and James H.
Hoyt. In their addresses they called
attention to the lRwless acts which
have terrorlzed the public. and upheld
the course OF Mayor Farley in his
measures to suppress disorders and
said 1t was time for reputable citizens
to unite and restore peace, quiet and
safety to the city. A committee Of five
was then selected to bring about lawful
conditions A demand for a United
States army military post in Cleveland
was unanimously made and steps were
taken to increase the police force OF the
city.
At the strikers picnic held at Scenic
park to-day, Mayor 8. II. Jones, Of To-
ledo, was the guest Of honor and ora
tor Of the day. In his address the po-
litlcally ambitious mayor said: We
are in an epidemic OF labor troubles,
strikes, lock-outs and boycotts, aftect-
ing widely separated portions OF our
country, and as widely diversified In
dustrial interests disturb the land, the
condition may be fifty characterized as
one Of Industrial civil war. The boy
colt is q cruel and unjust weapon in
many ways. Boycott Is war and both
sides have a right to fight. I am not
here with a plan for settling the diff
Guilty in Cleveland alone. am here TO
urge, to plead for, to propose remedy
that is sovereign and final remedy,
not only for street railroad strikes, and
for all kinds of difficulties with labor
In every sort Of public utility. There Is
such remedy and only one. The rem
edy is to be found in absolute munici-
pal ownership, operation and control.
In short, the fundamental cause OF the
trouble in Cleveland to-day Is found in
the fact that few men are granted the
right Of ownership In n class Of prop
erty that should never under any cir
cumstances become private possession,
but should be property OF the whole
people. am an apostle OF peace. and
dlsavow any belief In war under any
circumstances. do not believe that
any good thing was ever accomplished
through war that could not have been
better done by methods Of peace"
Mayor Jones held a political confer
ence with strike leaders and local agi-
tatOrs In the American House this af-
ternoon, at which he decided to leave
the Cleveland end of his campaign as
an independent candidate for governor
Of Ohio entirely IN the hands Of the
street railroad strikers.

AIN ANGRY
FATHERS
VIGILANCE
May Prevent Marriage of his
Young Daughter After
she had ElOped.
A SENSATION IN MOUNDSYlELE
Created by the Flight to Woods
field of Mr.. cOppinger
and Miss Hays.

Moundsville glorled in genuine and
sensational elopement last night, but
owing to the fathers vigilance and the
fact that he kept the telegraph and
long distance telephone wires exceed
iugly hot, the fleeing couple were loca-
ted at midnight before the marriage
ceremony was performed.
The principals in the elopement are
Mr.. Harry Carpenter. who is connect
ed with a merchant tailoring establish
ment in Moundsvllle, and Miss May
Hays, the eighteen-year-old daughter
of Mr.. A. NJ. Hays. also Of MoundsVille.
The young'people have been induiging
in the mutual admiration act for some
time, but the stern parent forbade mar
rIage, owing to the youth Of his daugh-
ter.
Yesterday afternoon, 1t appears. Mr..
Carpenter and Miss Hays took matters
In their own hands and eloped. Mr.
Hays was soon informed of what had
happened and Immediately started in
pursuit, calling to his assistance a
friend. DR.. Houston. They came to
Wheeling on the 11:1O Ohio River train,
but Mr.. Hays went back to Bellaire on
the 1925 Baltimore & Ohio train. hay
ing learned that the elopers were not in
Wheeling.
At Bellnire, Mr.. Hays learned that
his daughter and Mr.. Carpenter had
gone out to woodsfleld. Ohio, via tho
Bellalre, GAINESVILLE & Cincinnati rond.
He and his friends at once invoked the
aid of the long distance telephone. and
instructed the Woodsfield police to ar
rest the pair, which was done shortly
after midnight. before the marriage
license had been secured.
About o'clock this morning the
county clerk of Monroe county was in
conference with Mr.. Hnys over the tel
ephone, and when the official learned
that Miss Hays was over eighteen years
of age he stated that he would be un-
able to refuse to grant the marriage IL
license should Mr.. Carpenter and Miss
Hays apply for 1t.
This was quIte'R blow to the parent.
but apparently there was nothing that
he could do, and it was expected that
Mr.. Carpenter would secure the Incense
early this morning and have the mar
riage ceremony performed.
From what can be learned Br. Hays
has nothing in particular to complain
OF against the young man in the case,
and his objection to the marriage is
prin ipally because OF the tender age
OF his daughter.
At 5 o'clock this morning It is learn
ed that the county clerk at woodsheld
has been asked by Miss Hays family to
delay granting the marriage license un-
til Police officer stlllwell, Of Mounds
VILE, and Mr.. Hays can reach Woods
field. The police officer proposes to
arrest Miss Hays on complaint of her
father. but he win probably encounter
trouble in fulfilling his mission, owing
to the fact that Miss Hays is legally Of
age. At any rate the parents of the
young lady are making a desperate
fight to prevent their daughters mar
riage.

The precautionary police measures
to-day were much more stringent than
yesterday. Strong detachments OF In

the streets leading to the Lycee. Gem
darmes alone performed this duty yes
terdRy and the public, who were much
less numerous, barely mastering SOC
persons, were pressed still farther back.
Persons standing inside the entrance

Of the Lycee were even compelled by
gendarmes to retire into the interior Of
the house and the front door was clos
ed. Absolutely nobody but police and
soldiers were thus within one hundred
yards OF Drcyfus when he crossed the
Avenue de la Care.
The police authorities explain the
rlHor OF these measures on the ground
that yesterday few cries against the
prisoner were raised while he was
crossing the avenue. Not discordant
note was heard anywhere to-day.

presidency of the republic Of Dominica,
said to-day, In the course Of IN inter
view. that funds are being daily placed
to his credit in Paris, and that he had
refused over eight hundred tenders OF
service on the part Of cubans and
Americans, who were ready to pay their
expenses. In reply to these offers he
had asserted that he had neither need
nor desire to organize expeditions. To-
day he said he had received advices
that two more Dominican generals had
declared themselves in his favor with
followings Of eight hundred men.
