Robert Il. Williams, of 1915 Brick
avenue. the secretary of the Welsh
Congregational chuch, has requested
the publication of the following:
"The rumor circulated that the Welsh
Congregational church building on
West Market street cannot be sold for
use for any other purpose than for a
place of worship has no foundation
whatever and am authorized tn state
and explain through the columns of the
press.
In 1859 when the lot was bought a
deed was drawn and properly recorded
at Wilkes Barre on June II, 1859. AS
a mortgage was against the said land
1T was sold by the sheriff of Luzerne
county to recover the money and an
other deed was drawn by the sheriff
of Luzernc county in the names of the
trustees of said church, and ii is a cer-
tain fact that a sheriff's deed is as legal
as it possibly can be and any person
who doubts my statement can at any
time eXmine the deeds and be con-
vinced of the untruthfulness of the
story being circulated.

Cincinnati,

The past week has been one of unusual activity and has approached somewhat the large demands of two years ago. The inquiries have come from every branch of the trade in which iron is the basis and the sales have aggregated heavy tonnage, including charcoal and coke malleable and car wheel and every grade of foundry iron. l,
 Consumption of foundry and mill irons seem to be on as large a scale as ever. Shipping instructions continue to be an- ticipated on old orders and the number of car lot "hurry'' orders kept up well. There Is a scarcity of some grades of foundry irons, both Southern and North famine need be entertained, should the demand for soft foundry grades continue as large as at present, some mixtures may have to be changed temporarily. Bessemer for the present Is unstable ow- Ing to the general steel situation.
 Labor difficulties, which are quite wide- spread. do not interfere as yet with gen. eral manufacturing to the extent that might have been anticipated The ma-
 
 self. except at San Francisco. The moul- ders seem to be yielding to the wise coun- sel of the executive committee of the North American Union, and it Is to be hoped, for the welfare of all concerned. that general strike Is to be averted
 The steel sheet and tin plate situation at this writing is bad. There was every reason to believe that the officials of the Amalgamated would recede from their arbitrary position and the differences be- tween them and the proprietors and cor porations be amicably adjusted If the Amalgamated is inaugurating their old time policy of rule or ruin, the strife will in all likelihood be protracted and lead to calamities, in which the Amaigamated will ultimately prove the losers.
 The general conditions of the pig iron market Justify the belief that the demand will continue heavy and the prices appre- ciate. The market closes stronger than it was at the opening of the week.

SIGNS FAIL IN DRY SEASON

The past week has not been A harvest time in pig iron, according to the weekly letter of Rogers, Brown & Company. Business in Birmingham Is affected by the weather and sharp buying has failed to materialize
 The letters of Rogers. Brown & Con- pany are as follows:
 Birmingham.
 "All signs fail in dry weather" may be as aptly applied to the iron trade as to the weather mans business In the face of the strong statistical condition and practical signs our local drouth has seen rather unlnteresting week, and the ex- pected sharp buying has not as yet ma terialized. Prices are well maintained and the concessions which have of late been the rule are now the exception. The promise of sSndiminished consumption for some time seems to be responsible for the present steadiness rather than ac- tual sales. In this connection the north ern strike may be felt in the next week or two.
 Local furnaces are behind on orders es- pecially foundry grades, and the soft irons are minus quantity with some in- teresta 34"fig III
 The Amalgamated Association strike will not have any direct detrimental ef- feet on this district as the mills had sign ed the agreement for year some time ago. If the strike Is of protracted na- ture our mills will feel the effect in an in- crease of business placed with them.
 Monday last saw the Woodstock Iron Company's furnace at Anniston blown in after an likeness of some three years, as well as the Hattie Ensley furnace of the Soss-Sheffield Company at Sheffield, thus making up some of the decreased output of last month due to shutting down of other southern plants for re- pairs.

Pittsburu,

When the machinists'. strike was de- clared we reported in these columns that 1t in no way affected this district, and we believe we intimated that we were above such matters. We were mistaken, as the daily press demonstrates, and Pittsburg Is now the headquarters of a strike involving almost one-quarter of the productive finished capacity of the larg- est producer.
 Neither side intends giving in. from present indications, and we do not think a settlement Is looked for under month. It would take longer than this period to appreciably influence the pig iron market, and we therefore look for prices to remain firm and strong.

REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

7 Any kidney or bladder trouble is seri- ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and when they do. overwork Is the usual cause. An affected kidney is an exhausted one, impure blood has weak ened it; the remedy needed is one that will restore strength and rebuild the kid riey itself This pr. ffarter's Iron Tonic will do. It has been doing 1t for forty i've years and no other remedy has ever been held in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out of the blood. When the blood Is bad the kidnevs get clogged with these poisons pr. liar ter's Iron Tonic cures by neutraIizing the impureties, by hastening their expulsion. by building up the tissues of the kidneys. and by giving these organs more streneth and activity. While 1t is curing kidney and urinary troubles 1t is also repairing all the delicate machinery of the body.
 This Is the best of all tonics. 1t does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do. Nor can it do anything but good; 1t is absolutely harm. 1ess. and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid, young or old. Ordinary iron sometimes harms. but the iron in liar ter's Tonic is in such form that 1t does no harm. 1t enriches the blood. strength ems the stomach, and aids digestion. Made by Dr. Harter Medicine Company, Day. ton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

The negro then pulled his pistol and fired at Huggins, but the shot went wild.
 The commotion reached the ears of Mounted officer Joe Nix. who Is station ed nearby, and he hastened to the scene of trouble and placed both participants under arrest. Snipes is charged with as- sault with intent to murder and Huggins is charged with an affray.
