and employs more than two thousand men, all Of
whom are thrown out of employment. No previous
notice was given of the closing. The mill
largely Bessemer steel, but since the Bessemer de-
partment was shut down three weeks ago for the
winter it has been working open hearth prod
uCt Now the consumption OF both is stopped ard
1t is believed that several Of the furnaces will
have TO close unless the 50 and 40 inch mills open
in couple of weeks.
The notice only states that the suspension is
for indefinite period. and the men can get no
idea of the length of time which will eapse tefore
they will have work.

Last evening at about 43o
O'Clock, while the Ben Hur was tax.
Ing on some 55s inch casing atCain's
Landing. just opposite the city, a
deck hand by the name of Robert
McG. Steele, of Pittsburg, was In
stantly killed. The unfortunate
man and another laborer had q
joint of the casing on their shoul-
ders, and just as Steele stepped up
on the stage plank he slipped and
fell, the casing falling across bis
neck and breaking 1t. He never
uttered a word after he fell.
The man shipped on board the
boat Thursday evening about four
o'clock at Pittsburg, and but little
Is known of him other than his
name. He was about IS years OF
age, S feet 10 inches In height,
weight about $50 pounds, and was
OF dark complexion. His remains
were brought to this city immedi.

Mrs. Eliza A. Barr, widow Of
Edwin A. Barr, deceased, expired
at IL O'Clock last night at her home
on Charles street. Deceased was
In the 6Sth year OF her age, and her
death was not unexpected by the
immediate relatives and friends of
the family. as she had been In dell
cate health for years.
Mrs. Barr was a pioneer resident
of Tyler county, having been born
at Middlebourne April 8, 1896,
and was a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clayton Kearns. Her hus-
band preceded her % the Great
Beyond some four years ago. She
united with the NJ. E. church In
early childhood and lived a devoted
christian life In that faith. Mrs.

THE BOOK.KEEPERS WIN

the first three innings. After the
Clerks had been retired In good
form In the first, Crawford reached
irst on an error of Sweeney, and
came home with the FIRST run on a
hit by Bevins and Hilliard's
sacrifice. Bevins, after stealing
second, also crossed the plate on
the same sacrifice, combined with
wild throw. Two runs for the
book-keepers.
In the second, however the clerks
got mad, and showed how to get
run without a hit. May6eld got
first on an error by short, second on
a passed ball, and came clear home
on a wild throw by McCauley.
Score 81 for the bookkeepers.
In the third Dolan went to first
on an error, stole second and third
and came home on Birdsells out.
Score even.
In the fourth, the good things
ended and the fun commenced.
Hits by Mercer. Suter, Cruber and
Dolau, combined with a few errors,
gave the clerks FIVE 1uns, and 1t
looked as If they had a cinch.
This was suddenly changed when
batting streak struck the book
keepers and a case of rattles hit the
clerks. The former scored nine
rms, two of which were home ruus
without a hit. 1t was funny. The
most amusing thing was to see
Doyle chase McCauley clear around
the diamond, sometimes being
ahead, sometimes alongside. and all
the time yelling such coaching as
only Arlie Latham In his balmy
days could do. The score was
thirteen to seven, and the interest
Jagged.
The clerks made two more 10 the
fifth, one In each the seventh and
one In the eighth. while the book
keepers got another In the seventh,
making the net result IL toll.
Quite neat sum was netted to
aid In paying for the new uniforms.
The bankers of the city have
challenged the bookkeepers, and
another interesting game will be
played early In the week.

ately after the deplorable accident
and County Coroner DR.. c. E.
Kahle was notified. After the cor.
