semer pig Iron by two steel counpanias was the main development on that market in the past week. Some Of tho Iron came from speeulators ana some frum the yard of one steel company that has carried 2 considerable stoe< of iron. This business was all at the equivalent of S15.b0 at valley furnaces. though the associated merchant fur- naces of the valley are ali holding for SIS. As this review Is written. the report comes that the steel corpora ton Is ia the market for 7s.e00 tons of Isessemsr iron, February. March and April delivery and that further pur- chases will be made by the IAacka- wanna Steel Company.

Malle- able foundries have been sounding the market in the Chicago district south- ern furnaces hold their ground on prices andF consequently are little heard of in central territory.

Aecident In Disreputahie Resert h Columbus, Ga.--aaercury of the 7hermometer Goes Down to
 Ten Degrees Above Zero.

Columbus. Ga. Jan. 2e,--(speciaL)-- By the explosion of the water pipes leading to q range in the kitchen of the house Of Madame Joseph, a disreputable establishment on Eighth Street, this morning. three negro women were seri- ousiy injured and the kitchen was wrecked.
 The water in the pipes leading to the water back of the range froze hard this morning, due to the extremely cold weather, and some two hours after a fire was kindled in the range terrific explosion occurred. as the steam in the pipes had no place of exit. due to the ice, and had to force it's way out.
 Fragments of the pipes and water back as we'll as scalding water were hurled all over the room. The cook, Rachel Braxton, and two house girls. Rosa Fleming and Emma Brooks, were badly scalded about the hands and arms. The Braxton woman was also cut in the head by piece of flying metal and her lnd was badly gashed. It will be necessary to ampuate one of her little fingers.
 Nearly all the furniture lin the room was wrecked.

the bawling of the wounded, there
came through the air n screaming, tear

others. 1t Travelled with incredible
speed, and before the sailor could be-

1t meant-a shrapnel shell burst in

valley with flying lead.

he rose again. lest perchance any of the
Dyaks should have gained II foothold
on the ledge.
The ladders were empty. He could
hear a good deal Of grooming, the foot
steps of running men and some dis
tant shouting.
"Sahib!" yelled Mir Jan, drawn from
his retreat by the commotion without.
Yes" shouted jerks.
The native, in a voice cracked with
excitement, told him something. The
sailor asked a few rapid questions to
make quite sure that Mir Jan was not
mistaken.
Then he threw his arms round Iris,
drew her close and whispered:
my darling, we are saved! A war
ship has anchored just beyond the
south reef, and two boats filled with
armed sailors are now pulling ashore"

be,ow that jerks could not force them
back ward. A fourth appeared, Its
coarse shafts looming into sight like
the horns Of some gigantic animal.
The four covered practically the whole
front of the ledge a v where Mir Jan
cleared a little space on the level.
The sailor was standing now, with
the crowbar clinched in both hands.
The firing in the valley slackened and
died away. A Dyak face, grinning like
a japanese demon, appeared at the top
OF the ladder nearest to Iris.
Don't fire." shouted jerks. And the
iron bar crushed downward. Two 9TH
ers pitched themselves half on to the
ledge. Now both crowbar and revolv-
er were needed. Three ladders were
thus numbered somewhat for those be-
meath, and jerks sprang toward the
fourth and most distant. Men were
crowding ii like ants. Close to his feet
lay an empty water cask. 1t was a
crude weapon, but effective when well
pitched, and the sailor had never made
a better shot for a goal in the midst
of a hard fought scrlmmage than he
made with that tub for the head Of the
uppermost pirate.
Another volley came from the sands.
A bullet plowed through his hair and
sent his sou'wester flying. Again the
besiegers swarmed to the attack. One
way or the other they must succeed.

Nevertheless jerks waited. There
was nothing to gain by being too pre-.
cipitate. A false step now might undo
the achievements of many weeks.
Mir Jan was dancing about beneath
in Il state Of wild excitement.
"They have e the Dyaks running
to their sampans. sahib," he yelled,

A translation made Iris excited, ca

"Poor wretchesr" murmured Iris.

"Well we are unable to interfere.

bly, be taken to the mainland and
hanged for their crimes, so the manner
Of their end is not of much conse-
quence." .
To the girls manifest relief, there
was n more firing, and Mir Jan an
nounced that a number Of sailors were
actually on shore. Then her thoughts
turned to a matter of concern to the
feminine mind even in the gravest mo-
ments of existence. She laved her face
with water and sought her discarded
skirt.
Soon the steady tramp Of boot clad
feet advancing at the double was
heard on the single, and an officers
voice, speaking the crude H~indoostanee
Of the engine room and ~forecastle,
shouted to Mir Jan:
Hi, you black fellow! Are there
any white people here?"
jerks sang out:
Eyes, two Of US! Perched on the
rock over your heads. We are coming
down."
He cast loose the rope ladder. Iris
was limp and trembling.
STEADY, sweetheart" he whispered.

1t was well he took this %precautlon.

alleged holding in the line, he dropped
back to the So yard line to try for a

three balls and no strikes. called on
him he would shoot three curves over
the plate and strike the batsman out

His delivery was very simple. There
was no winding up of the arm.

hunched his big shoulder and let the
ball go with a graceful swing that was
a treat for sore eyes. He had mag

poor games. His disposition on the

umpire was never a mark for him.
Rusie was smashing good batsman,
too, besides being game to the core
