The London market is generally lower.
the declines ranging from Is to 2 per
cent.
The street was much disappointed by
the way the market behaved yesterday
after the decision in favor of Union Pa
cifc. which had been expected to stimu-
late prices, whereas as matter of fact
it seemed to be considered a good Op-
portunity for liquidation. The early
gains were almost entirely lost during
the last half hour, and& prices closed at
the lowest of the day.
The principal topic OF interest is the
Southern Pacific pool This expires on
April 10, and it remains to be seen
whether the members Of the pool have
lived mp TO their agreement and kept
their holdings intact. Should this be
the case. considerable liquidation in
Southern Pacific is looked for after the
dissolution of the pool.

There has been a considerable amount

quarters this IS Interpreted as meaning
that there has been good deal OF

cept to lend it IN the call market. There

Judge Evans Files Injunction
Against Mine Workers.
Reviews the Story OF the Troublous
Times in Hopkins and Web
ster Counties.
RIGHT TO WORK lNvIoLABLE

Judge Walter Evans has handed
down an opinion at Louisville in the
United States circuit court declaring
that the injunction against James ID.
Wood, of Central City, of the Nation
al Mine Workers Of America, and 9TH
er leaders of that organization to pre-
vent them from interfering with the
employees Of the Reinecke and st. Ber-
nard Mining companies, should be
made perpetual. Judge Evans said
that grounds for an injunction pendente
lite had been given in the opinion
handed down December 90, 1901.
The injunction was granted during
the trouble in the Western Kentucky
coal fields in 1901 for the Reinecke
Mining company and afterwsrd for
tie st. Bernard Mining company.
During the trouble in the western part
of the state, union miners from lndi-
ana. Illinois and other counties in
Kentucky fiocked to Hopkins, Webster
and tho other counties adjoining and
attempted to induce the miners EN-
ployed by the companies affected to
become members Of the national min
ers' organization. They attempted to
persuade the non-union men employed
at the mines to leave, and esta blished
an armed camp at jacksonville, while
they were in that pert Of the state.
There was much marauding and dis
order in the vicinity of MadisoDville,
Darlington and Nortonville, and Gov
ernor Beckham was finally forced to
send troops to the scene to maintain
order. Several men were wounded in
the brushes with the strikers and their
sympathizers and Robert Coffey, pri
vate detective, was murdered.
The suit for the injunction was
brought against the lesders in the Ma
tional Mine Workers Of America indi-
viauaily and not against the organiza.
tion. The injunction was granted.
1t enjoined the strikers and their sym
pathizers from interfering with the
non union men employed at the mines,
on with the operation of the mines by
any means whatever In sustaining
the injunction, Judge Evans said that
his reasons for doing so were to pro-
tert the employers rights. The non
union men, he said. had the right to
work where they please, and they
should not be interfered with.
This will probably cause to be alan
doned the effort decided on at the min
ers' convention in Paducah last winter
to again attempt to organize the non
union mines.

CURIOUS JACK-IN-ARMOR.
His Duty is to Announce the Com
mencement Of Church Service.
From the London Queen

From the London Queen.
Several of the old towns on the Suffolk,
England, coast can boast of jack-of-armor.
One of the best is at Southwold, that quaint
old-fashioned seaside resort, now trying to
burst from it's chrysals stage into a fash
ionable butterfly seaside resort
Some years ago the jack used to stand
outside the church on bracket over the
western arch and as each hour came round
on the clock he struck his hatchet against
the bell to announce the time. The poor
old jack of carved oak weathered many
storm outside the building. until some wise
person, seeing that he was being gradually
worn away, suggested his being preserved
inside the edifice.
The Southwold jack-in-armor is a curious
looking parsonage. He stands about three
feet high, and at the present moment holds
an exalted position near the beautifully
carved and painted old screen. He is perch
ed well on high. so he can be seen by most
of the congregation, to whom he now an
nounceS the commencement Of the service.
When the clergy ready to leave the
vestry the string which goes down jacks
right arm is gently pulled, and his arm be-
gins to move up and down, striking the bell
as it does with jack S hatchet placed for
the purpose beside the figure. He makes a
considerable noise, and strangers in the
congregation are somewhat startled at SO
unusual a disturbance if not prepared be-
forehand.
The interesting little figure is painted
dark green, relieved here and there with
gold His dress is of armor, and he wears
big gauntlet gloves. In the left hand he
holds a sword. His helmet comes well down
over his brows, and his ears are protected
by the projecting sidepieces. He does not
aspire to a vizor, but his helmet is studded
with big nails. He has nice, kindly face,
a little hattened at the nose and mouth
through long ages, for even wooden jacks
will not wear forever. At time many
of the Suffolk churches boasted jack, but
today these queer little gentlemen are
rare.

Action Of Sea Water on Metal.

From the Engineering News.
The corrosion of metals by sea water has
been investigated by a German engineer
named Diegel. Alloys of copper and nickel
with 20 per cent and ~ per cent of nickel
respectively, are not very rapidly corroded
They are rendered more or less immune by
adjacent masses of iron, copper alloys OF
copper, these protectors being then more
rapidly corroded. Copper zinc alloys are
corroded either by uniform solution of the
alloy from the external surfaces, or, wher
the zinc exceeds about 21s per cent by a
teaching out of the zinc, leaving behind a
brittle and porous mass. This latter action
is prevented, however, by the addition OF
10 per cent of nickel.
Electrolytic copper, very pure, was rapid
ly corroded by water when in contact
with ordinary impure 600 per cent?, copper.
When not in contact the impure copper and
electrolytic copper behave about alike. An
nealed copper is much more rapidly corrod-
ed than rolled copper. Coating with zinc is
a temporary protection, but after the coat
ing is gone the cOrrosion of the copper is
relatively rapid. Copper in metallic con-
nect1on with iron is partly protectedI. Elec-
trolytic copper, whose surface was oXi-
died in places, suffered rapid galvanic cor
rosion in the clean spots. The corroson of
copper pipes in vessels is often very rapid,
and occurs frequently al bronze joints
1t seems that a high amount of arsenic
lover O.5 per cent?, in the metal greatly re-
tards corrosion. Wrought iron and steel
of various methods of manufacture seems
to depend for it's corrosion upon the amount
of phosphorus contained in it. With 1 per
cent of phosphorus present the corrosion
was only little over half as great as in
the case of iron nearly free from phophor-
u.s.. When two pieces of iron differing in
phosphorus content were in metallic con-
lnu
phosphorus iron two to five times as fast
as the other. Iron containing nickel showed
similar behavior. The normal corrosion of
single plates of material was less as the
percentage of nickel increased, and when
two plates differing in contained nickel
were in contact, the plate higher in nickel
was almost completely protected from cor
roSton.
