Ths IRON .sIruATIoH.
Broad Home Demand Arouses Con
 6dence for Next Year.

0SASO 4OA 1NC4t cur.
 Cleveland, O., Oct. 24.-The Iron Trade Review, discussing the market conditions t-is week, says:
 The week naS brought added strength t6 the situation; whatever or easier con diuonS Is to be encountered later on, there Is no fcreshadowing or 1t in actual events. NO revival of export trade is in sight, but home demand IS so broad and so strong that iron and steel manufac- turers speak confidently of the !Igt half of lsU2, while many do not hesitate lo predict another year of pronounced pros- perity. The one CvershadOwing feature of the iron trade today in ali depart ments is the unprecedented friction re- sulting from the failure ot the railroads to provide fer the freight offered them.
 "rh6 story Of car shortage Is so Ia- miliar as to lose its force, but the present conges1T n is without parallel in the rec o.dS of 1898, and with many manufactur- CTS and consumers is the uppermoSt questi n beyond any consideration of prices of production. No relief is in sight before the close Of the navigation season.
 The mills that were closed by the steel strikes have made no great headway as yet in replenishing the stocks in dis tributcrs' hands depleted in the weeks Of shutdown. and Wal pass into the new year under full headway. with prospects of operation throughout the winter aI the present record pace.
 The strong factors in the situation that have been pointed out week Dy week sem to &, emphasized.
 The railroads have placed rail con- tracts that insure the operation of the United States Steel Corporations rail mills up to September, 19Oz, and the pre- | sumption is that other producers are not far beSlind. The Pennsylvania Rail- ways ,OOe tons of rails, it is reported, are to be distributed among mills on it's | lines. as heretofore.

TAKEN TO SCENE OF CRIME
Pine Knots and Pine Straw
 Piled About Him.
Made No outcry When the Flames Reached Him-At First Tried to Implicate Others in
 the Assault.

New Orleans, Oct. A-A special to Tho Picayune from Columbia, Miss, says:
 The negro, Bill Morris, who committed the outrage on Mrs. John Ball at Ball. town, La, was burned at the stake to- day. After being captured. he made an effort to implicate others. but they soon proved their innocence. He was today carried to the scene of his crime, and there tied to a pine sapling with chains. Pine knots and pine straw were piled about the body and saturated with coal oil and the whole set on fire.
 The negro made no outcry when the flames first reached him and only when he was partly consumed did the specta- tors notice any movement on the part of the wretch who had committed this das- tardly deed. He made no resistance when being bound to the stake and said that he deserved his fate. Mrs. Ball, when waiting on the negro, Bill Morris. in her store. turned her back, when he clutched her by the throat, dragged her off down the hill and accomplished his purpose. After that he beat her on the head with pine knot and thought that he had killed her. Going back to the store. he collected all the change that was in the cash drawer, and had presence of mind enough to put coal oil on his feet. and on the steps when leaving the store.
 Mrs. Ball. however. recovered con- sciousness and crawled to her father-in- laws. He at once gave the alarm and the neighbors gathered and commenced a search for the negro. He was found at his home about four miles from the scene of the tragedy and at once ran off when he was shot at by one of the posse and wounded in the hip.

REPORT ON WEST POINT
CADET DISCIPLINE MUCH I'M

The Suppression of Hazing is Thougt to Have Been Accom- lished With Many Other
 Reforms Introduced.

@SSsst s5--s~--ssxs----. pol. .s~seSg sJ 2 "
 Washington, Oct. 24.--The most import ant feature of the annual report of Col onel A. L. Mills, Superintendent of the Military Academy. relates to the meas ures taken for the suppression of haZing Treating of discipline, he says:
 .'The discipline of the corps of cadets has greatly improved during the year ana is now in an excellent state. It Is believed no military body of its size exists which excels it in soldierly appearance ana Tn the perfection of drill and military exer- cises as well as in the higher require ments of devotion to duty This satlsIac- tory condition has been attained by nrm adherence to the measures adopted dur ing the past three years to create among the cadets a higher sOldierly regard Tor their obligations in particular those per- taining to hazing.
 He then reviews what has been done, mentions the criticisms passed upon the Academy. the measures taken 10 stpp haZing and adds:
 "Throughout the past suIhnler ', en, campment, which is the time when new cadets are being initiated into their new life. and when haztng is ordinarily prac- ticed, it is q fact that the great magoIlty of cadets have recognized the ne" oIueI oi affairs and the regulations Loyalty ana

 "One cadet was severely punished for giving an unauthorized and absurd order to new cadet and another for excecd- ing his authority as a drill master over tbrm The action or the latter is, it is
 believed. through excessive zeal rather than a hazing spirit Another reform has also been accepted-the abolition of what is known as official hazing, or the harsh and nagging tones of the cadet instruc- fore over new cadets and cadet officers excrcising authority. and the substitution therefor of methods more appropriate for inc training and education of young men to command in an American army. ."The reforms that have been indicated mark an important era in the history of discinIirc and military instruction at the Academy. Diligence and discretion on the nart of the responsible officers will make these reforms permanent without in inc slightest degree marring the per- fection of drill appearance and dtscip- line The custom among cadets Of set tIinr disputes or difficulties among them selves hv pre-arranged and often brutal fiat fights is over. and there need be no nnnrehcnsion that the stoppage of such affairs will in any way impair proper hahit of manly self-defense against per- sonaI assault or insult.

CLERGY AND LAITY.
Hot Fight in the Amerlcan Mis-
 sionary Association.

Chicago, Oct. A.-Strife between the clerical and lay representatives in the American Missionary Association cul- minated tonight in a victory for the cler- gy. The principal struggle arose over proposition that there should be only one corresponding secretary in the associa- ton in place of three. This plan was presented by c. A. Hull, chairman of the Executive Committee, who was the ac- knowledged leader of the laity. Hardly had the matter been presented when half dozen of the clergy were on the floor asking for recognition. Rev. Dr. R. R. Meredeth said. There Is a personal ele- ment in this," and he intimated that the movement was directed against the cleri- cal secretaries. These words were fol- lowed by debate which lasted for sev- eral hours. Finally a ballot was taken and, by a bare majority, the clergy won.
 It was decided to ask the Congrega- tional Building Society and the Congre- gational Home Society to have only one treasurer at New York in connection with the American Missionary Association, there being three there now.
 The Rev. Washington Gladden. of Co., lumbus, O., was elected President.

 In the brief filed by Abram J. Rose today 1t is deried that the defendants are seei Ing to delay trial and 1t is asserted that the delay has been caused by the government = s.s ct-orts to obtain an ''abdu-! ton through forms of law" MT. Rose alco says that 1t is unfair to put before the courts statements as to the conviction of Carter, as such facts have no bearing on the case and especially as the legality of that conviction is raised on case already pending in the court. The brief says:
 The defendants are now and always have been ready to be tried on any i'm partial. unprejudical or any valid legal indictment, but they have objected and will object to being sent for trial before court that they believe will not give them fair trial and be there tried on an alleged indictment found by possibly packed. certainly picked, illegal grand jury"
 In conclusion ample time to prepare the appeal Is asked, but ebjscticn is n t mad to advancing the hearing of the appeal
