NEW YORK BULLS AND BEARS
Latest Development of FURRY ON
Stock Exchange.


NEW YORK. May 9.-The floor of the
Stock Exchange at the opening today
showed the most excited throng of
brokers seen in years, and among those
present were many members who are
rarely seen in the trading crowds.
The opening was chaotic The one
desire seemed to be to sell, sell anything
to anybody who was willing to take
stocks and give money for it. When it
appeared that the corner operators were
determined to have their pound of flesh
from the people caught in the net every
body felt that he must free himself from
his load of stocks and stand from under,
lest worse should happen. They had
hoped that before the opening of bust
ness some announcement might be made
that the Northern Pacific speculative
shorts might escape on agreed terms,
but the first sales of that stock dispelled
the illusion.
Just before IL o'clock there was a
rapid and sensational rise in United
States steel to 46. Manhattan got up to
105, Southern Pacific TO 8e}6, Amalga-
mated copper to 107, Atohison preferred
to so, and others rising point or two at

FOR CONVENTION
Alabama Canvassing Board Gives Out
the Figures.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, May 9.-The ma
jority for the constitutional convention,
as ascertained by the canvassing board,
is "a, 500. The total vote in the election
was $50, and the vote for the conven-
ton was 70, 800 and against the conven-
tion 45, 500. These are the official figures
given out by the canvassing board. COM
posed of the governor, Secretary OF State
McDavid and Attorney General Brown.
The vote for delegates at large was
not com mpleted, but it is known that all
the Democrats were elected by safe ma
jorities. The count Of the votes shows
that Dallas pol,ed the largest vote of
any county in the state, giving 5,288 for
the conven ton and 200 against it.
It will be several days before the COM
plete vote can be mad, as it is quite an
undertaking to taDulate the vote for the

THE IRON MARKET
QUIET BUT STRONG
Mills Running to Their Ut
most Capacity.
PRODUCTION OF PIG IRON

Melt of Iron In Foundry CupoIas In
Excess of Past Records-Sheet and
Tin Plate Works Driven to Their
Full Capacity.
CLEVELAND. May 9.-The Iron Trade
Review for this week says,
Quietness with sustained strength
characterizes the iron market There is
activity that not long back would have
been considered noteworthy, but in COM
parison with the record of March. which
in pig iron was unprecedented, the cur
rent buying is light. Mills are running
to their utmost capacity on nearly all
products, though in plates there is not
an accumulation of orders noticed in
the winter and early spring. Rail bust.
ness has not been cut off by the advance,
but it is evident that further new busi-
ness for delivery this year must be taken
care OF in mills east of Pittsburg.
Pig Iron Production.
| The course of pig iron production is
being watched with interest by the
trade. Buyers seem to be proceeding
on the assumption that consumption will
be overtaken shortly and that the active
blast furnace capacity will be sufficient
to preserve stable prices through the
year-at least to guarantee against any
material advance. Two of the large
new central western furnaces have just
gone into blast; another is to- follow
shortly. and others will come later in
the year. 1t is already evident that the
United States Steel corporation will not
be in the market for so much pig iron
for the second half of the year as it
bought for delivery before July |. The
foundry buying keeps up, though at a
| slackened pace, and the melt of iron in
foundry cupolas is probably in excess of
any record yet made.
Sheet and Tin Plates.
Sheet and tin plate works are being
driven to their full capacity. It is the
expectation that basis will be agreed
upon with the Amalgamated association
that will obviate the necessity of a shut
down on July /, pending the adjust
ment of the scale, putting that organi-
zation In line with the Cancellation
movement which looks to a continuance
of operations pending all adjustments
of labor questions.
The possibility of machinists' strikes
at various points on May 20 is one of
uncertainty in the situation.

MAY BE BURNED AT STAKE
Brutal Negro Assaults a Young Lady
In Alabama.

In Alabama.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May g. - From
Springville, st. Clair county, commu-
nifty on the Alabama Great Southern
railroad, comes the story of a hor-
rible assault of a prominent young
A negro who is charged with having
committed the horrible assault is now
being hunted by an infuriated mob of
citizens, and if he is caught there will
be d warm time in that vicinity.
Miss Dell Garrett, the 13-year- old
daughter of j. L. Garrett, we'll known
citizen of ST. Clair county, was on her
way home from college Wednesday af-
ternoon, long before dark, when she
was assaulted by a negro known as Jim
Brown, The young lady, terribly,
shocked from the awful, brutal treat
ment, made her way home and fell in a
faint at the threshold OF her fathers
residence.
The truth of the horrible story soon
dawned OH the mind of her father, and
he was not long in organizing posse.
A search was at once commenced for
the brute. A message was sent to the
sheriff of jefferson county and deputies
were sent to the county line to meet the
negro if he attempted to get into this
commonwealth. All night the woods
were closely searched, but the negro was
not overtaken. The search continues.
Miss Garrett. who is well known in
Birmingham, and related to some of the
best families here, is young lady of
considerable accomplishments She is
said to be in horrible condition from
the cruel assault. and her life is de-
SPARED of. There is much Indignation
in the community, and broad talk is
heard of burning at the stake ii the
right negro is overtaken and identified.
