There Is a noticeable. fact among
real estate men that more people are

LOOKING FOR EyRRs GUNS
CHIEF BERRY DOES NOT LOSE
CONFIDENCE AS TO THEIR RE-
COVERY.

COvERY.
Chester, Feb. 1O.-Chief of Police
Berry has not relaxed in any particu-
lar his efforts to discover the where
abouts OF the two shot guns that were
owned by the murdered George B.
Eyre, nor has he lost confidence in the
ultimate recovery of one, and perhaps
both. Mary Cowen, In her testimony
before Alderman Smith, on which
James Pierce and Amos Pierce we're
bound over for trial on the charge of
murder, stated that Jim" Pierce had
told her in his alleged confession that
one Of Eyre's guns was sunk with the
boat, on the mouth OF Raccoon creek,
following the murder He said nothing
about the other.
Chief Berry thought he had a prom
ising clue a day or two ago. He re-
ceiyed information that a breech-load-
ing gun had been pledged at the pawn
shop of Carver w. Reed. No. 1914 Mar
ket street, in the name of pierce" on
December % last, the day after Eyre
was murdered, and that It was redeem
ed on January %. AS there seemed to
be a remarkable coincidence in these
circumstances Eyres body having been
recovered on Sunday, January 2l, Chief
Berry went to Philadelphia on Thurs
day and had an interview with the
Ipawnbroker and his clerk. They could
not give him the number of the gun,
but said it did not correspond with
either of the guns said to have been
owned by Eyre The description Of
the man who pledged it was of rather
tall, stout, smooth-shaven individual
which did not fit either of the Pierce
brothers.

Rig Cut In steel.

Pittsburg, Aug. 16-Structural steel
prices have been cut SIS a ton by the or
ganized producers. No formal meeting
was held, but the change was arranged
over the long distance telephone Tuesday,
and the reduced prices 20 into effect at
once. The reduction is a sweeping one,
covering all beams. channels and shapes
produced by the trade. Prices are thus
brought relatively close to those in other
lines of steel which have not only reach.
ed rock bottom, but have begun an up
ward movement through heavy buying.
This unexpected reduction by the beam
pool places the prices on beams and
channels up to - inches at $50 per 100
pounds as against $1.90, the price Tues
day. Prices of all other structural prod
ucts change relatively.

Paris. Aug 16.-A serious accident,
resulting in injuries to 81 persons, oc-
cured last evening at the corner of the
Boulevard des Batignoles and the Rue
St. Petersburg. The lines cross at that
point. Two cars, one driven by electric
power, approached the intersection and,
being unable to stop. collided at right an
giles, the horse car turning over and caus-
ing the widest confusion inside. The
top was crowded with passengers, who
were thrown into heap and cut in the
hands and faces by broken glass. The
accident was witnessed by crowd of
holiday makers, the occasion being the
Assumption fete. The onloollers raised
a cry of terror when the cars collided
with terrible crash. A quarter of an
hour elapsed before it was possible to
clear the interior of the horse car of
wounded, the helpers expecting every mo-
ment to find some of them dead. Fortn-
nately there We're no fatalities, and none
..of the injured is likciy to sitceumb. The
injuries consist mainly of outs, bruises
and sprans.

STRONG, BUT THE TRUTH.
Mr.. Bryan Has Begun second War
Against Prosperity.

Mr.. l.. j. Callahan. who was one OF
the principal movers In the formation
OF one of the most important Demo-
cratic leagues which were formed in
opposition to Bryan in 1896. comments
in this way upon the nomination OF
that statesman at Kansas City:
"Mr. Bryan begins second war
against prosperity, Notwithstanding
that he Is dscredited as a false proph-
ct. All his predictions of 1896 have
been shown to be absolutely false. The
defeat of Bryan brought prosperity
to every part of the country. Ii open
ed mills and factories that were closed
In 1896, 1t gave employment to labor,
1t created business that has overtaxed
every plant and store and channel of
trade. There is plenty of money for
every legitimate demand of business.
Against all this Mr.. Bryan makes war
anew with his party of reputation
and false prophecies"
This is pretty strong language, but
not a whit stronger than the truth.
During the campaign of 1896 Presi-
dent Mckinley declared that he stood
for the policy of open mills" Not one
reasonable, fair minded person can
truthfuily deny that fulfillment has
equaled promises.
