IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Notable Movement In the West-TOn-
mage of Steel Rails, Etc.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The Iron Ages
weekly trade review says:
western distributing centers bring
the report that notable movement in
foundry pig iron has begun, a consid-
cradle tonnage thereof being for 1909
delivery. Chicago notes that while all
classes of consumers were among the
buyers, the malleable foundrymen prob
ably took che largest individual quanti-
ties. Apparently the bulk of the busi-
ness was taken by northern furnaces,
although the southern makers, who so
recently advanced their prices, have
booked considerable orders.
"a moderate amount of pig iron for
steelmaking has been taken in the GEN.
trail west, but offerings on the part of
the outside furnaces at a slight oonces.
sion continues. There is a continued
scarcity of steel and premiums are be-
ing paid. Current business is light, the
majority Of consumers being taken care
OF under sliding scale contracts There
are rumors of a large tonnage booked
for next year, but the details have not
come to the surface.
''Our Pittsburg correspondent makes
the announcement, on official authority,
that the tonnage Of steel rails booked
for 1902 delivery aggregates 5000
tons, exclusive of the 5000 tons w hich
the mills are likely to carry over from
this year, owing to the inability to de-
liver in 1901.
''The pressure for deliveries of struct-
gral steel continues and it is notable in
the smaller sizes of angles and beams.
Mills have been put on with them which
have not been producing this line for
years. New work is still coming up.
A notable feature is 5000 tons for New
York. There is continued activity in
bars and further large contracts have
been placed. The sheet tube and tin
plate mills are crowded to the utmost.

Mgr. Antonioni to Visit America.

New YORK, Oct. 3-Mgr. Antonioni,
one of the influential prelates and off.
cials of the vatican, will arrive here
soon, it is said, by way of Rotterdam.
Just what is the intention of his visit
here is not known. He may bring in
structions for the annual meeting of the
arch bishops, which will be held at
Washington on Nov. Is and IA, and
may perhaps arrange the details fer the
summoning of the proposed plenary
council of the hierarchy. 1t is also
thought that his visit may have some
thing to do with the selection of a sue
cessor to Cardinal Martinelli as the apos-
tolic delegate to the United States.

WEDs MAN WHO SHOT HER.
Romantic Nuptials of Mr.. Williamson
and Miss Stuckey.


RICHMOND, Oct. 3.-Miss Bessie Lee
Stuckey, a trained nurse of this city,
and Charles S. Williamson of Nottoway
county, left here yesterday ostensibly
for Baltimore, where they were to be
married. The wedding was a romantic
one. Mr.. Williamson belongs to one of
the best families in southern Virginia
and Miss Stuckey's people move in the
best society in West Virginia.
The young man came here a year Or
two ago to study medicine at the Uni
versity College of Medicine and soon
made the acquaintance of the pretty
West Virginia girl, who was studying
nursing at the Virginia hospital. 1t
was a case of love at first sight. The
young student became ardent in his at
tentions. lG was apparent that the
pretty nurse liked her admirer, but for
some reason she did not accept him.
Last winter Mr.. Williamson came
here for a while and created a profound
sensation by walking into the hallway of
the Virginia hospital and shooting down
the girl he loved He fred twice and
would have killed the nurse had the res
ident physician not sprang upon him
and, aided by others, taken the pistol
away from him. One of the shots en-.
tered Miss Stuckey's IS arm and the other
her side near the heart. The young lady
soon recovered. There was no disposl-
tion to press the case against Mr.. Viii.
hanson and be got off with a fine
of 5000.
Miss Stuckey had accepted position
at the Virginia hospital and no one knew
of any intention on her part TO get mar.
rled until yesterday. Mr.. Williamson,
who will attend college in Baltimore
this winter, came here and Miss Stuckey
left with him for the Monumental City.

LAFAYETTE, Ala, Oct. 3.-John Bowl.
ing, prominent young man of Lafay-
cite. while working at the city mill, met
his death in a peculiar way. He was
cleaning off an electric light bulb when
1t burst, causing the instant death of
Bowling. 1t was supposed that he re-
ceived heavy electric shock, or the
sudden shock caused fright which re-
suited in heart failure. The coroneK's
jury investigated the death and re-
turned a verdict of death by heart
failure.

lii Erect Two Fnrnaces.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 3.-The Ten
nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad compa-
ny is about ready to begin the work of
erecting two stationary furnaces for the
manufacture of steel in accordance with
an announcements made some time ago.
These furnaces will be located alongside
the 10 tilting furnaces in operation at
their plant at this time. The two fur
naces, it is understood, will be con-

practicability and utility with those
now in use with the idea of discovering

4 Washington, d. c,

Dear Sir; The following, quoting Mr..
Joe Miller secretary Ohio Brewers
Association taken from the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, explains itself:
"What the War Tax VIII Do IF that
tax is not repealed, said Mr.. Miller this
evening, il will mean that the small
brewers will be forced out of the busI-
ness, and the industry will be in the
hands of a monopoly; there are some
three hundred breweries in the hands of
receivers, and there is no line Of industry
in the country which shows such per
centage."
In my judgment, there never was
more deceiylng statement made than
appears in those lew lines. claim the
contrary: the smaller brewers, of whom
am one, never feared the war tax half
as much as the unfair competitors. 1t
is more the fault OF the big brewers,
who for years have forced their beer
y into the neighboThood of their smaller
yconpetitOrs at such ruinous prices and
methods that the smaller brewers were
unable to compete Those big brewers
have for years bought real estate in the
cities before the very eyes Of the smaller
and weaker competitors at IoO per cent
more than the actual value of the prop
critics. Boosting OF their rich concerns,
Aand the millions behind them. Now
they see how unwiselY lheY have acted;
not one half Of their properties bring
them percentage, and this war tax and
other expenses make them howl.
Enclosed herewith hnd a copy of a
communication addressed to the DingleY
Committee aud Senator'S seven years
ago. have not changed my mind one
iota.
II a brewer does business on fair
bas and does not uphold a set Of people
who have helped to disgrace our busi-
ness, he is we'll enough paid. :

WORK TO BE COMMENCED ON
THE GREAT GUNNISON TUNNEL

Denver, June 1.-Government Hy-
drographer A. l.. Fellows has returned
from visit to the site of the proposed
tunnel to be built from the Gunnison
river to irrigate lands in Delta and
Montrose counties. At Montrose he
met Government Topogrnpher C. IL.
Fitch and c. NJ. Hammond, John j.
Tobin and Frank L. Dodge, members
of the board of control of the tunnel
and the irrigation system.
Mr.. Fitch is now in Salt Lake City,
but will return to Montrose late next
week to commence the Typographical
survey. Mr.. Fellows will do the en-
cheering. The preliminary survey
will be at the cost of the government.
The state has appropriated $25,OOO for
preliminary work on the tunnel and
canal, but there is no fund yet availa-
BILE for the purpose. After the govern
ment makes its survey it will be the
duty Of the board of control to appoint
superintendent of construction who
will receive $500 year.
AS much of the construction as pos
sible will be done by convict labor
and the canal, when completed, will
be owned and operated by the state.
Mr.. Fellows said yesterday.
1.-The preliminary survey to be made
by the government will take in the en-
I section covering an area of forty
eisnt square miles and it will take a
