taken at the hearings for the use of the
committee. 1t Is expected that the COM
mittee will meet earl.- in the autumn.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee finds lit
tie demand among the shippers of his
state for railroad legislation. Before the
Interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee began its hearings the tennessee
member wrote lettrs to many of the
shippers and in other ways caused 1t to
be known that he desired their views on
the matters. Only one of his correspon-
dents. a shipper in Nashville. complained
of the present rates and he would not
appear before the committee, though the
Senator requested him to do so.
The hearings just concluded by the SEN
ate committee have been of little assis-
tance to the President in his efforts to
secure railroad legislation. 1t is declared
that the railroad men had the best of
the argument throughout and have
strengthened tLeir position.

Market conditions In pig iron are the
same in all centers, buying at a standstill
with consumers generally expecting lower
prices. The larger foundry pig iron con-
sumers are supplied under present con-
tract for some time beyond July /, In
some cases into August, SO that the midst
of the year may be passed before any stir
appears in the market.
Rail orders grow in a way indicating
steady and substantial development, In
both steam and trolley lines. Recent sales
include 10000 tons for the Chicago and
Northwestern. 5000 Tor the Clover Leaf,
and about 14,OOO tons for four electric
railways
Inquiries for an aggregate of 75O0 tons
are pending large part of which are
expected to be closed this month. The
American Bridge company's latest con-
tracts include 21,OO0 tons for the Pennsyl-
vania railroad terminals at New York.
24OO0 tons for the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company and 5000 tons for va
rious Pennsylvania railroad grade cross

the market is rather more confirmed with
general expectations of quietness In the
early summer. AS yet the unfavorable
developments in Wall street and at Wash

consumption.

ing. Not returning within a reasonable
time his son was sent to ascertain what
detained his father He was met by his
fathers dog which begun barking and
pulling at his clothes in a very excited
manner that the young man Immediately
feared that some mishap had befallen his
parent, and hastened on to the pasture,
and there lying upon a pile of boards was
the bruised, bleeding, mangled form of
his father with life extinct. and the
Durham bull still much excited and bel
lowing In the near distance.
No one had witnessed the encounter
but the struggle must have been ter
rible between man and beast, as the
ground was much torn and trampled for
a considerable area around the spot
where the body was found. The chest
was crushed, the ribs and both arms
were broken. The animal seemingly had
used his hoofs alone In his ferocious at

on his farm for thirty years a well known

factory system In the city Of Birmingham
had been completed and the report sent
here. The work throughout the state is
well advanced and by the middle of next

The present census on this subject will
cost about seven hundred thousands dol

The next work of the census bureau will
be on the subject of marriage and divorce.
Congress made no additional appropriation
for this subject as the director believed
he could furnish the necessary statistics
