Iron and Steel.

With the approach of winter and the
preparation for next years business
the iron and steel men are placing
their orders for pig iron for the early
half of 1900. Some pretty good orders
are already recorded, and the signs are
that the demand of pig iron will not be
lessened as the winter draws on. With
mills and factories lacking the pig TO
make the product for which orders are
on the books, it could not be otherwise
than that the anxiety for pig iron
would continue
The building season of 1899 hurries
to finish with buildings delayed by
the want of structural steel. The sea-
son of 1900 will open with a demand
from all the spheres of building. The
hardware trade is crowded by the ac-
tivity of business, and orders are car
red at the factories fer future de-
livery. All of these deliveries must
have iron and steel of which to make
the goods, and as orders are in for
large quantities of finished product, it
means that orders will continue to
come for the pig from which to make
the goods The drummer who is sell
ing iron and steel products these days
Is in many cases selling things for
which the pig has not yet been cast at
the furnace The supply of pig will
not begin to catch up to the trade until
the supply of iron and steel products
begins to accumulate When the hard
ware and steel warehouses begin to ac-
cumulate they will still want raw ma
terial TO manufacture a surplus to car
ry in stock. Then, after that is ac-
complished, the furnaces will need
time to pile up some stocks in the
yards.
1t is not difficult to see some distance
ahead in business when every body is
out of stock Mills and furnaces will
have to be kept in active operation
for at least another year, even if the
demand upon the part of .Ae consumer
should begin to fall off in the next 10
days. Surplus stocks are exhausted
and must be filled.-Pittsburg Times.

Used His Brains.

Sometime ago brakeman on the
Balllmore & Ohio railroad used his
brains and saved a passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The company sent him check for $50
and posted bulletin compllmentlng
him for his qulcknes of thought.
A few days later, Engineer John
Hagerty was olllng his engine at Con-
nellsviile while waiting for passengers
to allght. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang in
to his cab, opened the throttle and
started his train. The other engine
struck he rear car. but 1t was not a
hard blow and Hagerty's promptness
saved ten or dozen lives
The company has ordered a hand
some gold watch, suitably inscribed,
and a gold chain for Engineer Hagerty
as a reward for his devotion to duty
and using his brains" in time of
emergency

Fined 81 For DisorderIy Con
duct at the Laying Of the
Cornerstone.

There was a case in police court to-
day that lasted for FIVE hours 1t be-
gan this morning. rested for dinner
and was taken up this afternoon. 1t
was the case o fthe city against DIR.
James Flynn, of Bellvllle, charged
with dlsorderly conduct.
DR.. Flynn was arrested day before
yesterday while the laying of the cor
ner stone was in progress.S He was
standing on the platform reserved for
the Masonic fraternity, the centennial
committee and dlgnltarles generally.
There were orders to the police that
there were to be no others allowed on
the platform, and when Chief Cook
saw DR.. Flynn standing there he Or
dered him off Flynn did not move
with the extreme celerlty that the
chief desired, and so the officer grabbed
him and took him off. The occurrence
was somewhat embarrassing all
around to the people in the ceremonial
but they paid no more attention to it.
Other policemen took charge of Flynn
and took him to the lookup. In a few
moments some of his friends were at
headquarters and made arrangements
for his appearance today, and he was
released.
The trial came off today, and Flynn
was there with his attorney, c. A.
Smith. The city was represented by
attorney Forrer. Flynn plead not
guilty, and showed that he was not
drunk, as well as proving that he new
er INDUCED in alcoholics. He was de-
termined to fight the case to a finish,
basing claim that he started to get
off the platform as soon as he was or
dered to do so. He also protested bit
terly against being locked up without
warrant There were about 20 wit
nesses for the two sides, and the evil
dence was about as has been given. 1t
was trivial provocatlon to consume
so much time and to bring in so much
testimony, but Flynn seemed greatly
aggrleved and determined to be set
Alright In the matter.
Flynn was fined 81 and costs, the
aggregate amounting to $3.50, and the
motion to raise the fine so that an ap-
peal could be taken was denied
Judge Gordon sustained his record
Of giving decision for conviction in
every case that has been tried before
him, without a single exception.
1t is likely that Flynn will bring
suit against the city and Chief Cooks
bondsmen for false arrest and imprls-
onment.-Journal.

A Courthouse Going to Court.

The citizens of BOXbutte county in
me State of Nebraska, recently took a
vote upon the question of moving the
county seat from Hemingford, where
1t was then located, to Alliance. Both
of these towns are, of course, in that
county of BoXbutte, and the clrcum-
stances which rendered the move de-
sirable were certain changes of popula-
Ion, etc, which rendered Alliance the
more desirable location. But while a
change of location was desirable there
was no necessity for a change of court
house, the existing building at Hem
ingford contained ample accommoda-
| tions for the business of the county;
moreover, the distance from Heming-
ford TO Alliance was only 10 miles, and
the two was singularly propltlous for
a feat of house moving.
Accordingly a contract was let to a
house mover" at Lincoln, Nebraska,
who, however, after jacking the
building up and getting it on its trucks
found that his hauling machinery was
not equal to the task, and cancelled his
contract. The citizens were thus again
confronted with the alternative of
voting 100000 bonds for the construc-
ton of a new court house or making
further effort to move the old build
ing. 1t is probable that the structure
would have stayed in Hemingford but
for the fact that the Burlington and
Missouri Railroad runs through the
county, and being a heavy taxpayer,
would have had to bear in the taxes
levied the major portion of the cost of
new house. The company conceived
the bold and certainly original idea of
acting as common carrier for the
courthouse itself, and Transporting it
as so much freight over the 10 miles
of track between the two towns in
question. Accordingly the building.
which measured so by so feet and tow
cred 81 feet above the rails, was placed
upon four 10000 pounds capacity
trucks, heavy bridge timbers being in
serled between the bottom 'sills of the
building and the trucks to secure an
even bearing and properly distribute
the load.
Now as the width between the rails
is only feet S1a inches and the build
ing was 3S feet wide, it was necessary
to steady the structure to prevent il
from rolling int othe ditch. This was
ingeniously done by placing two load
ed 10000 pound coal cars Immediately
in front and behind the building and
guying 1t with ropes
The trip was made without mlshap
at a speed of from to miles an
hour, according TO the grades. The
only obstacles encountered were some
small cats which had to be reduced to
allow the floor of the building to clear
them. We are informed by Mr.. ]. r.
Phe!an, the superintendent of the road
