FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 9, 1903.

THE COOL blasts Of tall, earnests o.
annroaebing frost, snow and ice, are
now being felt over large portion OF
the country, and sad accompaniment
ore announcements here and there oil
shutdown Of plants and the enforced
ildless of thousands of the toiing
classes. There is every indication that
many more manufactures will close
down before snow begins to fly, ana
that many will find themselves IN dire
distress before a resumption OF opera
tons takes place. Adyices from Penn
sylyania are to the effect that the
Warwick Iron and Steel Company OF
Pottstown has been forced to shut
down. According to one Of the officials,
the company has plenty of orders on
hand but the delivery of them has
been stopped by the tie-up Of structural
iron work through the hostile attitude
of the building trade unions ID Ne"
York and elsewhere. The blast
furnaces of the POttstOwn neighborhood
have no market for their product and II
Parks carries out his threat to tie up all
structural iron work in the country 1t Is
likely they will be compelled to close
down and throw thousands out of work.
Parks seems in measure to nave
his own way in New YORK
The stone cutters of that city, who have
been wavering between Parks and the
EMPLOYERS association, decided last night
r. cast their lot with the convicted walk
ing delegate. This individual emerged
from his house yesterday. Among other
tbinos he said: ON show you how to
tie up every contract in this city
THEY'LL come to me. I'll make them
come and they'll be mighty glad to come
and get my permission to put up tnel'
buildino. There win be no building III
this town unless I am allowed to decide
on the terms"

London, Oct 9.-No dispatches have
been received this morning confirming
the report that formidable Russian
fleet had collected at Ma-San-Pho,
Korea, alongside of the japanese feet,
nor has it been learned officially that the
japanese feet is at that port. On the
contrary, dispatch from Tien Tsin this
morning states that the Russian fleet
has not left Port Arthur, but that Ad-
miral Alexif, the viceroy of the Far
East, has collected ninety vessels OF
various descriptions at Portl Arthur for
combined manoeuvres of army and navy.
Opionions as TO the probability Of war
between Russia and Japan are widely
divergent.
Tien Tsin, Oct. "a dispatch from
New Chwang today states that the Rus
sian government, instead of taking the
promised steps for the evacu alton o.
Manchuria, is erecting government build
ings in New Chwang, and has added tc
her nasal force in the harbor.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. "a swarm
Of bees yesterday afternoon attacked
VIM. J.. Hogan, a rigger, as he was sus-
pended on a small swing scaffold at the
top of a 90-ioot derrick pole. Hogan

BREAD on THE WATERs.-Mrs. Jen

BREAD ON THE WATERS. Mrs. Jen-
ME Yarwood knitted and gave to George
w. Todd, on Christmas Eve, 1878, a
pair of wooded socks. Todd was old,
and apparently very poor. He was sui,
fering from frozen hands and feet, and
had been taken into the house, a home
less tramp. Todd dictated a note to
Mrs. Yarwood, in which he promised to
pay her IS, 900 for the socks. To please
him, Mrs. Yarwood wrote it, in the
presence of four members of her family.
Todd died last spring, leaving s52, 600
and no relatives. Mrs. Yarwood hunted
up the note, and a jury has just given
her verdict for the full amount, with
$3.50 interest, in suit which she
brought against the administrator OF the
estate.

PANIC IN THE HOG MARKET. With
crash that recalled the days of 1898,
the hog market broke in Chicago yester-
day from 80 cents to 60 cents on light
grades and from 40 cents to 80 cents on
other grades, causing the widest ex-
element. 1t is the first step to put
hogs on a ~ cent basis and means loss
of hundreds of thousands of dollars to
shippers and farmers. Since Monday
there has been a steady decline, which
foreshadowed the break ofyesterday. Fur
thermore, there were II, 900 hogs unsold
at the close of yesterday. The hog market
has not been so bad since the Cadahy
failure in 1893. 1t is the direct result OF
the closing of the lard and ribs corner
operated by Swift & Co.

Regard Friendly Visit as Insult.

Madrid, Oct 9.-The newspapers Of
this city are filled with indignant com
ments over thenews that fleet of Amer
lean warships is t, visit Spanish ports
and be accorded an official reception.
The newspapers say that German war
ships did not visit French ports until 80
years after the fall OF Sedan, while the
United States dares to send a fleet to
Spain within five years after the fall OF
Santiago, and King AlfonsO's govern
ment would be pusillanimous enough to
feast the visiting Americans. Ell Pals
prints a letter from an officer in the
Spanish army in which he says that the
Spaniards will never forget or forgive
their humiliations at the hands of the
Americans. The paper fears that hos
tile demonstrations will be made against
the American warships when they enter
Spanish waters.

Paterson, N. j., Oct. "a dam
burst occurred here today. When the
water burst through the dam it carried
away the iron bridge which spans the
Ramapo river and rushing on submerged
a hundred or more houses which lay in
the valley below. Those who were in
and about the Pompton Iron and Steel
Works, heard the roar of water and
escaped to eminences. The bridge,
which had been carried away, swept and
crashed into the engine room Of the
steel works, destroying it. A wooden
bridge which leads from Pompton to
Oakland was also swept away. The
territory covered by the food extends
from Pompton to within a few miles of
Paterson.

The present emergency which. In
the opinion Of the executive, seems to
justify the calling of an extra session
only emphasizes the ACCESSIBILITY OF
having a state board Of control of our
state educational and penal institu'
tons. Such a board would have
avoided the unbusinesslike procedure
of anticipating favorable court decision
and legislative action, as in the case
of the expenditure of something like
100000 by the university manage
ment, and the enclosing of a couple
of buildings for the deaf school at
Devils Lake. Such a board would
make rational, intelligent and reliable
reports to the lawmakers. of the
needs and requirements of the various
institutions. 1t would discourage the
duplication of educational work on
the part Of our state educational insti-
tutions and it would correct many
abuses incident to the localization of
the state institutions and effect a
great saving on the taxpayers of the
state.

evidently made without knowledge OF
