LITTLE IRON ON
 FURNACE YARDS New Year Finds the Stock Prac-
 ticalIy Depleted HE DEMAND VERY ACTIVE Heavy Accumulation of-Middle Months Has Been Wiped out-Twenty- Seven Stacks in Blast and
 Others in Prospect.
HE DEMAND VERY ACTIVE

The end of the year finds but little pig iron the furnace yards in Alabama There is practically no stock of the higher grades, such as Nos. l. 3 and foundry, and but little of the lower grades.
 At the beginning of the year 1900 the stock on the local yafds did not exceed few thousand tons, but when the depress- ion set in in June the accumula ton began and by the first of October nearly 10O 900 tons were stacked up on the yards of the Alabama furnaces Following closely upon the national election on November the demand rapidly increased and the ship ments became heavier with the result that within less than two months the yards had been practically cleared.
 Furnaces in Blast.
 The number of furnaces in Alabama in blast on the first of January, 1900, was-about the same as at present. According to the latest figures at hand there are twenty three coke and four charcoal furnaces in blast in the State with a weekly capacity of about 22,000 tons. This weekly produc- tion maintained for twelve months would make a total for the year of about 115O,- 900, which is close to the production for 1900.
 ''The iron market is unusually good for the holiday period" said Charles A. Still man, resident manager for Rogers, Brown 6 Co.,, to an Age-Herald reporter yester- day. Usually the foundries take stock on the first of the year and see what they have on hand before laying in a supply for the new year. The demand, however, has continued active since the holidays set in and every indication Is favorable for an exceedingly active market during the win ter and spring. The quotations have not changed in several weeks and probably will not change for sometime. The ruling price is based on $11 to $11.25 for No. foundry. There is no iron of the higher grades in the Birmingham district at present, and the other grades are scarce"
 New Furnaces in Prospect.
 Preparations are being made for starting up several other furnaces in the State dur M. Tutwler, owner of the Tutwiler Coal, removal of the Decatur furnace to Birm- ingham within few weeks. A portion of the Decatur furnace, 1t is understood, will be used in strengthening the furnace at Vanderbilt, and the balance will be used in the construction of a new furnace It is stated that Major Tutwiler has had under consideration for sometime past the ques- tion of another furnace at Vanderbilt, but nothing definite had been decided upon un- til the purchase of the Decatur furnace a few days ago.

Referee Trimble had novel and interest ing question before him yesterday. Last May an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the Moor and Anderson Novelty Company John w. Anderson, one of the partners at the creditors meeting, refused to answer any questions, claim ing that he had not been properly served. The matter was taken before Judge Swayne who was holding court at the whom a rule nisi for contempt had been served, was discharged, Judge Swayne sustaining his position that he had not been properly served Meanwhile the bankruptcy papers had been lost.
 | After this hearing Anderson filed vol untary petition in bankruptcy, and yester- l/day his application for a discharge came | up before Referee Trimble.
 The creditors who had filed the original involuntary petition against the firm op- posed the discharge and asked that the matter be postponed until March f. when Judge Bruce will hear a petition asking that substitute papers be allowed in the involuntary proceedings against the firm. | These If allowed will date back to May
 and this request of the creditors was op- 1 posed by Anderson, who wanted to be dis l charged in the voluntary proceedings.
 Referee Trimble decided to postpone the l hearing until after March 4 If Judge Bruce allows the substitution papers An derson will probably be an involuntary bankrupt instead of a voluntary one.

Catholic Union Field Day.

The Catholic Union held a successful
field dav on the Valley fair grounds
Saturday afternoon and the ten athletic
events which we're run Oft interested a
good number of spectators. John Clune
proved the star of the meet, winning
tirsts in the l00-yard dash, running
broad Jump, 220 yard dash, and running
high lump. He also secured second
place IN three events, and thus won 30
out of a POSSIBLE 40 points. j Austin
was second in standing with two tirsts,
two seconds and three thirds to his credit.
All of the events were closely contested
and in several additional trials were
needed to decide the winner. The heavy
wind which blew down the stretch pre-
vented fast time 10 the sprints but the
showing made by the runners under the
existing conditions was creditable. The
baseball game between teams captained
by James Dunlevy and Thomas Guiheen
was called at the end of the third inning
on account of darkness, Dunlevy's team
being far in the lead. A special car was
run to and from the fair grounds to ac-

FRANKLIN HOAR WHEELER.

Death of BrattleborO's Oldest Kesiden,
Which Took Place Sunday Morning n,
His Spring Street HOme-Sketch of Mr.
| Spentin BrattlebOrO.
The oldest resident of Brattleborc
passed away in the death on Sunday
morning at his home on Spring street OF
Franklin Hoar Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler's
age was "a years. & months, and he had
been a resident of this village since 1922
when he came to live with and work
for his elder brother, John e Wheeler
then country store-kceper in the Blake
building on the west side Of Main street
Mr. Wheeler was not only the Oldest mar
In BrattlebOro but he lived to an age
greater than any man in the town evel
attained.
Mr. Wheeler was born in Lincoln, Mass
April B, 1907. He was of Revolutionary
ancestry, his grandfather having beer
at the Concord bridge fight April 10, 1875
His father was soldier in the Patriot
army at the age of II years. The origin
al surname of the family was Hoar anG
the ancestry was the same as that OF
Senator Geo F Hoar of Massachusetts
but in early life the brothers chose tC
take the mothers name of Wheeler and
that branch of the family has since re.
tanned that name. Mr. Wheeler's elder
brother built the presen: Granite block
10 1885 and he remained in his employ
until 1871 when Franklin ii Wheeler and
Lucius G Pratt bought out John II
Wheeler and continued under the name
of Wheeler ard Pratt. The firm was
dissolved in lS49 when Mr. Pratt took
over the business. Mr. Wheeler, with a
partner, then opened new store, where
the store of A f Roberts is now located,
and he remained in trade until 1853.
From 1866 until 1876 Mr. Wheeler was 10
New York with his brother-in.law, the
late Wright Pomeroy.
Since the latter date he had lived in
his Brattlcboro home. occupied with his
garden and his other home affairs. Mr.
Wheelers garden was his pride and his
pert and painstaking than himself.
Deafness which came on him in middle
life had shut off familiar Intercourse
with many of those about him but he
kept an acquaintance with old friends,
and his taste for good reading kept him
in close and intelligent touch with the
affairs of the day. Mr. Wheeler had
watched the growth of Brattleboro for
so years, and his active memory of early
days and of changes since made him an
interesting companion.
In 1896 he married Elizabeth Pomeroy
of Newfane and in 1888 they bought and
occupied the Spring street residence.
They had i've children. three sons and
two daughters. of whom Mary E Dalton
whose home has always been with her
father, and Franklin p Wheeler of Chica-
GO are the Survivors. The death of Mrs
Wheeler took place in July 1881. Mr.
Wheeler had retained remarkable de-
gree of health aud activity and his death
was due to causes incident to the advance
of old age. The funeral was held at
the home this afternoon, Rev Z q S Os-
good officiating.
