 LIVELY BIRMINGHAM. -Superin-
 tsndent B. r. Porter of the NJ. & P lrailroad. who returned from 9 trip to
 the south g few days ago, got a con Iception at Birmingham, Ala, Of the amount Of T'g iron consumed in this country. Birmingham. at present, IS almost dictating the value Of iron, and Cn- account of the recent advance in | that line, it is just now enjoying great CT prosperity than almost any place in
 the south. As Mir. Porter rode from the city to a small place called Stamps, Q distance of thin=en miles, he was greatly impressed with the enormous quantities of pig iron which all along the course seemed TO be piled LID like cord wood" To him this seemed like 9 considerable supply. but he was in- | formed that the total amount Of pig 1 iron in the United States at that time would not supply the mills more than one week. That thirteen mile trip was further impressive toAMr. Porter for a different reason. Years ago he passed over the same route on honeymoon trip.
 TRACE OF THE FRONTIER peculiar territory. this.'' said the eastern visitor yesterday, and I don't doubt that it would be 2 good field for Mark Twain. Some parts are much as they are represented n the east. but the WGld frontier mysteri0usly disaD- pears as you suddenly drop into this valley. But I'll never forget some in cidents I saw in the northern part of Arizona. There at Ash Fork, you call it. they don't seem to have a jail The officer gets a prisoner and ties him to a chair in 3 saloon while he engages in a game Of poker. The prisoner has an excellent chance to escape when the players get excited over a jack pot They tell me that one of them got away a short time ago and was caught at Kingman. If the men don't pay much attention to prison CT, they are good at ca:ching them. And then there's Jerome [ don't know whether they have any officers there or not. but do know that SAW some men strapped to a tree and they tOId me tnpV were in i9iI
 FOOLED INTO JAIL.-''Pol.ce Police! PoEce,' cried an almost hys- tericaI woman ct the city hall plaza last night. She was holding fast to a man whom drunkeress had so wd3kened that by 9 heroic effort she managed to master him. Police. FoIce!" con tinusd the woman. ''Phat ye vant?" sad the man between hioc0u9hs, and the woman. who was his wife, was un- decided. Then she was resolved 'T want you in jail" she said. A crowd was fast gathering but that did not chack the determination of the wo- man. Isn't this 9 shame she said, 1 land it's nothing to laugh at" Well l dearie, let's go home and get away from the crowd" Never mind the , crowd, you're going to jail Isn't this i a shame! Where's my ring? Police! | Police! well, phat you do;n? If | you're a hittin me. give me a chance | to protect myself This dialogue l pleased the surging crowd The man was Lawrence Jerome of New York. l not the famous Larry Jerome but a . near, and disgraceful relative. He had | his persuasive powers try ing to get his wife to take him home. Hooker and Deputy Doweu | r nT n of X-O1 ce3iJ one. 'Yes, both of us, both Of us,' said the man. When placed behind the bars he sw0re vengance when he found he was alone in his misery He had pawned a ning belonging to his wife for SIP, but she overlook him be- fore he had time to spend any of the money. It was found later by Officer DCwell
 INVOLVING COMPLICATIONS. - 4 school law passed by the last legas~ .ature, known as "Scott's law is not operating as satisfactorily as was ex- Dected.
