pears no prospect of interruption
In addition to urgent railway demands
for heavy steel, there is a steady in
quiry for structural shapes to be used
IN erection of new buildings, while
pipe mills report much new business,
and in agricultural implements there is
no lack of orders. Tin plate and wire
mills enjoy seasonable activity. Ma
chinery and hardware lines are well
employed, and, aside from pending la
Dor controversies, the condition of the
iron and steel industry as a whole is
most satisfactory. Textile mills have
not felt any stimulus from better ther-
nal conditions, although improvement
in retail trade will ultimately accele-
rate jobbing sales, which in turn will
increase purchases from the manufac-
turerS.

Florida Citizen.

Attempt to Blow Up the House of a
Florida Citizen.
Barlow, Fla, May News was
brought to the city from Mulberry of
the attempt to blow up with dynamite
the quarters of Amos Randall, at that
place. 1t seems that for some time
Randall has had a negro Waterman
employed to guard his premises at
night, and while making his rounds
the negro discovered a mysterious
package lying on the porch. He called
Randall and an examination was
made. 1t was found that sixty-five
sticks of dynamite had been placed on
the mans porch, in a bag, and the
party was evidently about ready to
light the fuse when the Waterman
came up on him. One stick of it was
placed upon stump and exploded,
the noise arousing the entire town.
Windows were ratified two or three
blocks by the explosion, and the people
out there are wondering where they
would have been now had the entire
charge gone off.
