will be the deciding factor in the iron market for the next three months. The more active market for foundry iron that was a feature of the last ten days of September Is still noteworthy and reports from all sections now agree as to this. as they did not ten days ago.
 Foundries are finding an increased demand for their products-not' marked increase. but enough to beget confidence and to lead to buying. Tho number of inouiries and the good az Kregate tonnage they represent for pig iron to be delivered in the first quarter of 1905 indicate a growing desire to take advantage of present low pricesi 1t is an indication also that many foun- dries are provided with iron Tor the balance of the year,
 Prices show more hrmness and in the case of Northern furnaces there has been a general coming up from the to SiI 76, while $11.S5 and SIP are now commonly held. The Southern fur naces are increasing production slight Iy and at the same time cutting down stocks somewhat so that $s 50 Bir- mingham may be considered more thor ouRhIy established than at any time this year.
 The situation apart from pig iron Is better in a number of lines.
 Indications point to a heavier ship rnent af Lake Superior ore this year than has been counted on at any time by the authorities in that trade. It seems certain thai the steel corDora- ton will continue its policy of carry ing a good reserve on Lake Erie docks and in furnace yards.

AN ORGAN RECITAL.
Large Audience at First Presbyterinn
 Church.

Large Audience at ErRst FreSDyter1nm
 Church.
 A large number of music-loving peo- pie enjoyed for nearly an hour last night a treat in the organ recital of Miss Florence Hodge at the First Pres byterian Church.
 Miss Hodge had the assistance of Miss Mary Lovelace. soprano. and MT, W. F. Christian. barytone, who con tributed to the delight of the evenings s entertainment.
 The program, consisting of seven numbers. was of unusual versatility of style and execution. She charmed her audience with her dexterity of move ment in changing her high, quick notes to the low, sweet murmur of the organ. an action on the instrument of which she is thoroughly the master. She seems able to express through the me- dium of the reeds the thoughts of the soul, sorrow, hope, rapture and despair. and every thought filled with expres. sion.
 Miss Lovelace was in excellent voice and delighted her hearers with her beautiful soprano. a voice in which she has volume combined with sweetness of tone and wide range. Her voice was clear and resonant, and she sang her numbers with ease and grace.
 MI SHIlSllAn S DdTyLOue was well suited to the execution of his numbers He exhibited a fine knowledge of technique in his song, "Hosanna"
 The program presented by Miss Hodge and Miss Lovelace and MT. Chris. tan was as follows:
 1. Concert Overture in E Flat Faullkes.
 9. o Divine Redeemer (Gounod)- Miss Lovelace.
 3 Sanata, F Minor (Ritter).

SHOCK WAS TERRIFIC }
BUHsTING BOILER RESULTS IN
 LOSS OF LIFE.
One nfan Buried fn the Ruins, Dosen Hurt and Woman Receives W0unds Which VIII
 Prove FataI.

l Pensacola. Fla, Oct. 6.-(special)-- ] By an explosion, of boiler tonisnt at o'clock a dozen or more men were T badly wounded, woman injured SO badly that she will die before morn Ing. and thousands of dollars in dam- age resulted The explosion took place at the strat- ton Ice Works and at the time or send ing this message thousands of per sons are on the scene. The entire nre and police department are trying to get order out of chaos and electricians are cutting wires to preserve hfe. The streets for blocks around are lined with debris and the head of the bursted boiler was found more than 100 feet away from its place.
 The noise was terrific. The AdVer- tiser correspondent stood 100 feet away when the explosion occurred and only by fast running averted injury. Po- Iiceman Charles Carhn was on the op- posfts corner from the big plant and the shock and binding steam and chok- ing fumes of ammonia used in the man. ufacture of tee prevented him from reaching a Ire alarm box at the next corner to cali for the fire department. The plant is practically ruined and one man who was firing and whose name was Bingham. Is thought to have been buried in the debris.
 The Stratton Ice Factory Is situated on the corner of Chase and Tarragona Streets. It Is kept in operation con- tinuously on account of the large hsh- ing trade here.
 Everything was all right, 1t ap- peared. until "a few miutes before the trouble. The shock was terrific and telegraph poles were broken as if they were straws. The explosion was felt for miles.
 But one man is thought to have been killed. while woman named Adams, who sat on her porch across the street.. was scalded so that she will die.
 Louis vann. colored. was working fifty feet above the boiler. At the first shock of the explosion he leaped from the window and landed on the ground. breaking his legs and otherwise in turing himself. His condition is doubt full.
 George Parks and his wife were sit- ting on their front porch. The front of their. home was smashed in, the win dow shattered and a huge telegraph pole immediately in front of them was broken into three pieces. The two were hurt slightly by flying brick.
 B. M. Hatton, a negro lawyer, was in the immediate vicinity and was struck by flying bricks. His condition is not serious.
 All of the injured are in St. An thony's hospital.
 Ropes were stretched. through the foresight of Chief of Police Schad and Captain of Police Fondebilla, and this prevented many persons from running into live wires. The explosion cut of the lights and the place was searched with lanterns.

SEARCH FOR MRS. DUNCAN.
Birmirgham Oficials Believe She Is
 Moufwomery.

Birmirgham Omcials Believe She Is In
 Montgomery.
 Two more Birmingham officers have gone to Florida to strengthen the guard around Frank Duncan, convicted safe- blower and murderer. arrested in that State, and who Is to be taken back to Birmingham, where he is under sen tence of death, with every right or appeal exhausted.
 These additional officers are Chief Deputy Sheriff Albert Stradford and Policeman Burke, both of whom know Duncan well.
 It is intended to bring Duncan through Montgomery today, leaving here for Birmingham on Louisville and Nashville train No. 4 at 6;33 p. m. They will travel from Pensacola via the Lou : isville and Nashville, leaving there ear ly this morning.
 While here last night ofncers stad. ford and Burke made a search for Dun- cans wife. supposed to be in Montgom- cry. Nothing was seen or heard of her. though Mir. Stradford thinks she is here. He says she is the equal of Duncan in shrewdness and resource. and he will feel much safer when she Is we'll and definitely located. It Is thought she came here early in the day via the Atlantic Coast Line. and may be plan ming some coup when the officers come through here with her husband.
 The prospect now Is for the party to reach Birmingham at 9:15 o'clock to- night and proceed at once to the court house. Judge S. F. Greene, who sen. fenced Duncan to be hanged. will be m waiting. and the prisoner will be taken before him and the Judge will set. a new day for the execution. Then Dun can will be placed in cell with sim gle day and double night watch. Ev- erything that goes to him will be care fully examined before he Is allowed to receive 1t, and he will be sos closely guarded that there will be no chance for either attempt to escape or effort ae suicide
 Mir. Stradford has never tired of the chase for Duncan nor became discour- aged regarding recapture. Ever since the famous murderer left the Jefferson County jail this officer has conducted a systematic search for his whereabouts; and 1t Is quite interesting. too, to know that his capture Is the direct result of the work of the much7joked-about press clipping scheme. Mfr. Stradford subscribed to one of the bureaus just after Duncan got away and had sent to him daily clippings of every bank rob bery or hold-up in the country. When ever one occurred, advertising matter of the Duncan escape and reward was at once sent, with a good photo of the murderer. At last the various parts of the plan got together. Duncan became too bold and the photos gave him away,
 MT. Stradford's patience. has not only been rewarded. but the sense of his plan of action has been vindicated
 Duncan's case was in the Supreme Court on appeal when he escaped. Fall ing to place himself within the Juris- diction of the court the appeal was dismissed. taking away every hope of escape from the death penalty. save the pardoning power of the Governor.
