REJOICE AT HIS DEATH.
Gamblers Toast Decease Of One of
Their Number.


Their Number.
New York, June 9.--An astonishing
exhibition of joy has been noticed
among the acquaintances in Harlem Of
Miles B. Mcdonnell over the murder
Of the former gambler in Albany.
Along East 125th street, In the saloons
and resorts where the man was well
known and feared, his death was toast
ed and 1t Is even reported that some
of the friends Of George Price, who
was killed by Mcdonnell in 1900, got
up dinner in celebration of the
event.
The gamblers never forgave McDon-
nell for shooting Price, although he
was acquitted on the ground Of self
defense. He has been mixed up in a
score of fights and in one instance is
said to have cut an ear from a man
he accused of swindling while employed
In his gaming house. The ear was
nailed up on wall of the room. His
trial revealed the inside facts regard
ing gambling In Harlem and caused
the closing Of many notorious places,
much to the discontinue of the pro-
prietors and hangers-on. They have
lived to see themselves avenged and
his death caused much Joy.

New York, June s.--From the sta
tistical returns it looks. says the Iron
Age, as though the consumption of pis
iron had declined very materially sinc'
March, while expanding production
has not been checked from last month
The output for May was 1,6Ss,5oO ton:
Of anthracite and coke pig iron, as
compared with 1,554.000 tons In April
But the rate of output. which had
reached $4,000 tons week on May
l.. had dropped back TO $4,000 tons on
June /.
The corrective was quietly applied
but meantime stocks which were de-
ciining steadily during the first quar-
ter of the year, were increasing dur
ing May, there having been an accumu-
lation of 100000 tons during that
month alone. Two-thirds of this ad-
dition to the stock must be credited
to the central west and to the north
west This indicates quite a shrink
age in the demand. which even the cut
ting down In the receipt of production
may not counterbalance. 1t was to
be noted, however, that already there
has been a further reduction in the
output by the blowing out of additional
furnaces since the opening Of the
month.
1t is not surprising that the pig iron
markets have weakened further, and
Birmingham is now on the basis of 3
for No. foundry with one transaction
involving 10000 tons closed this week.
1t is interesting to note that some ex-
port business in southern Basic pig
has been done.
Valley furnaces are barely getting
s12 for No. foundry, and Bessemer
pig and one exceptionally low sale of
low Phosphorus pig iron has been
made in eastern Pennsylvania. Pool
prices on steel billets are more and
more out of line with present eondi-
tions, compared with those prevailing
when the schedule was adopted,
The demand is still light in the heav-
Ter branches OF finished trade.

DR.. MoWbray Talks On General
Conference,

Those who were not in attendance at
the combined service at the M. E. church
Sunday night missed an intellectual treat.
DIR. Mowbray, Presiding Elder of Will
mington District and delegate to the
General Conference, spoke for an hour on
some of the work done by that great body
of seven hundred and fifty men and
women delegates at the recent session at
Los Angeles, California. One of the
main features of the conference was the
providing of suitable leaders for the
church in the appointing of the Bishops.
Eight new ones were appointed, but only
seven will serve. DR.. Mowbray explained
the situation fully in reference to the elec-
tion and resignation of DR.. Day as bishop.
To many who listened to the Doctor
there came thrill of pride and satisfac-
ton when he told of the great book con-
tanning the names of the Western Ep-
worthians entered in protest against any
change in the discipline on the amuse-
ment question. The Doctor gave a num-
Der of pleasantries on DIR. Buckley and
other members of the conference, which
showed the general good fellowship that
seemed to prevail.
