IN COX'S STOCKING.
That Is Where Politics Rem ain
ed Over Christmas Oay--A
Waiting Game.
(From a Staff Correspondento

(From Staff Correspondent.)
Columbus, Dec. 26.-Over Christmas
the Ohio political muddle remained In
the stocking Of George B. Cox. He has
told Mr.. Hanna's representative that
he is for Price for speaker and that
is all there is to it. It is said he was
none too gentle about 1t, but used an
assortment Of billingsgate that only
years Of training in robbers roost
could admit of acquiring. r-.
Hanna has said that Price cannot be
speaker, and there you are. The
peace on earth" suggestions of the
yuletide may have had some effect on
the warning citizens over yesterday
but there is not great deal of hope.
The situation Is as it was Monday
only they come little closer to know
ing Just where Cox stands, and con-
sequently little farther away from
knowing just where they stand them
selves.

Car Shortage at Pitts
burg IL Serious.
CAUSES COAL FAMINE
Situation 10 Worse Than at Any
Time Since Congestion
Besan--No Relief 10
In Sight. ao4

Pittsburg, Dec. 26.-Component con-
Germs OF the United States Steel cor
poration have placed their delayed con-
tracts for about 100000 tons of besse
mer pig iron with the merchant fur
macemen. The iron is bought for do
livery during the first quarter Of the
new year and the price paid is SIG
a ton at the furnaces, an advance os
rs cents over the last purchase or cor
poratton concerns. There was con-
siderable dealing on the point. of a
price before the order was placed.
With the order placed and no relicf
promised in the car shortage, the diff
Guilty now will be to deliver the mater
ial. The sales to steel corporation con-
Germs and others closed in the past
week more than clear up the merchant
furnace output for the first quarter OF
next year.
The furnaces of the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys are now operated
with a curtailed output or are suspend
ed so that the combined output is
not over one fourth of what itshould be
This is due almost entirely to the in
ability to secure raw materials, coal
coke and ore, by reason Of the rail-
road congestion.
CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC.
The traffic congestion has caused the
suspension of nearly every mill along
the Allegheny Valley railroad termi-
nails in Pittsburg. These terminals
have been sending in scarcely enough
cars to haul away the finished mater
ials. The Carnegie works at Home
stead and Duquesne closed Tuesday
for Christmas, but 1t Is said to be
doubtful IL they can resume for week
by reason of car shortage.
President Charles M. Schwab of the
United States Steel corporation remark
ed during his recent visit to Plttsburg
that at the Carnegie mills material
worth 100000 is piled in the yard
and held up for shipment by reason
of the lack of cars. dT
The traffic situation is worse than
at any time since the congestion start
ed, and no relief is promised. The
Carnegie mills in Lawrenceville are
gheny valley terminals. W 7Fsh' 7t'
SITUATION AT NILES. - ~
Niles, o., Dec. 26.-The coal famine
that at present prevails in this city
is growing serious. The American Tin
Plate company's mill was forced to
shut down Tuesday, throwing nearly
300 men out of work. Unless more
fuel is received soon the city electric
light plant will also be compelled TO
suspend operations.

OLD MANUSCRIPT
REVEALS A SECRET
Mystery OF French Court May
Be Explained BY Ohio
Man at HIs Homo.

Gallipolis, O., Dec. 26.-The discovery
Of manuscript in the secret drawer
of an old clock in this city reveals a
secret of the French court and shows
the reason of the visit to the city, in
1889, of the Duke of Orleans, after
ward King Philippe of France
The discovery was made by Claude
M. Wall, while taking apart an old
French clock that had long been
standing in a storage room Of his
store. He found secret drawer Ia
the clock, which contained an old
parchment manuscript written in
French and which was wrapped In
a child's flannel skirt, richly embroid-
cred and bearing a monogram. A piece
of fine lace was also with the manu-
script. Upon translation, the manu-
script purported to be q true history
Of Adele D. Alon1uon." It bore the
signature Of Louis D. Alonquon an J
was dated October 18th, 1889. 1t was
addressed to Adele, apparently to be
given her when she grew to maturity
The substance of 1t was that Adele
was the daughter Of the Duke Of Or
leans. The mother died at the child's
birth, ignorant Of the rank Of it,
father. The writer was then place
in charge Of the child and sent, with
1t, to Gallipolis, where there was q
French colony. The story ran that he
became preceptor, and, finally, after
the visit of the Duke of Orleans to Gal.

to a Roman Catholic school, in France
The mother of Adele not being Of royaI
blood, the marriage was kept secret.
Wr. Wall has sent the manuscript
to the French ambassador at Wash

10 the Verdict Of All tho
Local Mercha nts
DURING HOLIDAYS
But Purchases Wore Of Q DIFF
ferent Cha cter From Pre-
sious Yeass--Expsnsivs
Goods Sold the Best.

The Christmas trade was larger, In
this city, during the holiday season
just passed, than in any previous year
within the remembrance Of any of the
local merchants. The holiday trade
began early, and increased in volume
steadily, until the stores closed on
Tuesday night.
The purchasers as rule bought a
better and more expensive line OF gifts
than in other years, and the supply
Of really excellent holiday goods was
exhausted early. many of The merchants
sending in supplemental orders to the
wholesalers for the Gner lines Of holi-
day gifts and novelties.
The purchases covered almost the
entire range of merchandise kept in
the local stores, everything from fine
silks to pocket handkerchiefs being
sold by the dry goods men, while tho
dealers in all other lines disposed oi
articles taking an equal range of value.
A local merchant in discussing the
subject with a reporter said: "Thi
holiday trade in this city surpassed
that of all previous years and this was
due to the universal prosperity of on,
people.
"1'he purchases, however, were Of a
different character from those of pre-
vious years, and the high priced things
went first and left late buyers to take
the cheaper grades.
Another thing that made this year
different from any of it's predecessors
was the fact that the people purchase,
things of utility, instead of thing
which have no value save for looks
Expensive articles Of wearing appare
were sold in large quantities and things
Of this kind and the call all through
the season. The people had the money
and they seemed to lie inclined to spent
it for useful things and did co."
The above was the verdict of almos
every merchant of the city, and not {
single one of them closed their doors
on Tuesday night withou. being salts
fed with the bushes they had done.
