HlTB GETS BAIL.
Has Been Eeleased From the Northumber.
land County Prison.

After several unsuccessful at
tempts, Jacob Hite, who stands
charged with a deliberate attempt
to murder Mrs. Fred Krebs, at
Northumberland, has secured bail
and has been released from the
county Jail where he has been con-
fined since the day following the
deed.
On the charge of breaking and
entering with intent to commit a
felony the bail is fixed at $500, and
on the more serious charge of at
tempted murder the amount is
$500, making an aggregate sum
of $4,000. The rumor that the de-
fendant had already left town, cur
rent on the street, is false, although
the belief that the case will be
settled out of court is growing
stronger daily.
Mrs. Krebs has almost entirely
recovered from the effects of the
wounds. District Attorney Cum
mings expects to be ready to try
the case at the next term of Grimm
al court, which will convene OH the
first Monday in February.

After the war, DIR. Kennedy settled in Ron

Judge Miller and the Food Commission.

DR.. B. II. Warren, State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, is indig-
nant at the action of Judge Miller,
of Mercer county, who has refused
to sentence violators of the Dairy
and Food laws that have been con-
victed in his court. Judge Miller
holds that the procedure of DR..
Warren's bureau is prosecuting and
lacking in equity.
He contends that grocers and
saloon-keepers, not being expert
chemists, should at least be warned
previous to arrest and be given an
opportunity to determine whether
the goods they have for sale are
pure or adulterated. Dr. Warren
declares that Judge Miller's atti-
tude will seriously interfere with
the enforcement of the law, and he
proposes to make an effort to COM
pei the Judge to pass sentence in
all cases where there is a convic-
ton.

FROM COURT ROUSE CORRIDORS.

The past week has been a record
breaker for marriage licenses.
When the COLUMBIAN man entered
the Prothonotary's Office yesterday
and inquired of Mr.. Terwilliger
how many he had made happy dur
ing the week, that obliging official
drew from the drawer pack OF
li~euses several inches in thickness
and handed them over with the re-
mark "and they're still coming"
He appeared to know what he was
talking about as the sound of his
voice had scarcely died away until
a couple entered. "A marriage
license if you please" cautiously
demanded the groom-to-be. He
tried to appear at ease, but his man
ner betrayed him and his face .urn-
ed several colors, as the document
was being filled out. The girl was
not 50 backward, and the writer
concluded that she had been there
before, but when the official inter
rogated her as to whether or not
she had ever been married before
she reioined in a loud clear voice
mo sir, this is my first attempt" "
Her answer illustrated to the writ.
er how very easily a fellow cain be
mistaken. She made several other
remarks that amused those in the
office at the time, and it required
quite an effort for them to keep
straight faces. When the couple
left everybody INDUCED in a good
hearty laugh. Following are the
licenses:

We are producing nearly IS, ,ooo,-
900 tons of pig iron every year.
The question very naturally arises,
To what use is this vast amount of
pig iron put?-for after all, pig iron
is but the crude material from which
the finished products are manufact-
ured. For the purpose of answer
ing this question, the SCIENTIFIC
AMERICAN has issued special Iron
and Steel number, which includes
the result of many visits made by
the members of the SCIENTIFIC
AMERICAN staff to the great iron
and steel works of the Pittsburg
district. The issue contains full
statistical data, we'll illustrated by
diagrams showing the growth and
present colossal proportions of this
industry, and discussion of the
causes which have led to our un-
questioned supremacy. 1t is a
note worthy fact that the SCIEN-
TIFIc AMERICAN was permitted to
inspect and photograph especially
for this issue several great works,
to which the management have
hitherto strictly refused to admit
any other representatives of the
press. The illustrations which are
presented have been especially pre-
pared for this issue, and have never
before been published. The articles
have been written only after a per-
sonal inspection of each plant des
cribed.
