 The negro started for the wagon and Jenkins raised up and jumped out, giving chase to the negro, who fired four more shots at him' without effect. The negro made his escape
 Jenkins managed to drive to town where his wound was dressed and pronounced dangerous, and the chances are that he will die. Sheriff Chandler organized a posse with dogs and Is trailing the negro who Is unknown. Several persons state that the negro has been seen hanging around Wills Creek bridge for several days. The assault was a most murderous one and considerable feeling has been aroused by the attack upon MT. Jenkins, who is young man and bears a splendid reputation.

A resolution providing for such an in- vextigation as result of the testimony before the legislative Investigating com mittee. was offered for consideration by the board today by Richard A. Mccurdy, president of the company and was unani- mousIy adopted. The members of the committee are William A. Truesdell. Ef fingham B. Morris and John W, Auchin- closs.
 At the close of the meeting at which this action was taken, the following state ment was given out by direction of Presi- dent Mccurdy:

COKE TRADE VERY ACTIVE

Cleveland, October 25.-(Special)-The Iron Trade Review says interest again centers in raw materials and conservative business men are sounding note or warning that there is real peril in the present tendency to advance prices.
 The strong influence working against a runaway market has, however, been shown recently In the decision not to ad- vance the price of plates and other fin- ished products, and this week two of the largest ore concerns in Cleveland, which are also identified with the manufacturers of iron, have stated in very positive way that they are opposed to advancing the price of ore for 1906 more than 25 cents per ton. They point to the disas- trous results which followed the heavy advance of ore prices in the year 1900, after period of prosperity in 1899, and say that sellers will not be wise if they do anything which will bring about a repetition of the experiences of five years ago. As there is no longer an association for the control of ore prices, 1t seems practically certain that the conservative Cleveland interests referred to will es- tablish the market for next year.
 The coke market Is in a feyerish condi- ton and buyers are objecting strongly to what they declare are unreasonable prices now being asked. On account of the pres ent conditions of the coke market there Is marked renewal of activity on coking operations. Some important iron and steel interests which have their own coal suG- plies are preparing to add largely to their coke-making capacity. One company will build about 400 ovens and the Toledo fur mace company, which has decided to erect a second stack at It's plant. will also build a by-product coke plant.
 The pig iron market Is rather quiet so far as actual transactions are concerned, but 1t is fully as firm and prices are tend ing inward,

Census Bureau Report Was
 Delayed Two Hours
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE
National Glnners' Association Also issues Report, Which Gives the Amount Ginned Between
 4,40o,ooo and 4,5oo,ooo.

Washington October 25.-A total of 4,- $40 72s bales of cotton ginned in the United States up to October IS is the statement announced in a bulletin issued by the census bureau today. In this calculation round bales are counted as half-bales, and the figures given in the bulletin are based on reports made by the bureau special agents in the field.
 No estimates is made of the total crop for the year, but figures are given out concerning crops of former years These figures show that up to this date in 1904 the product of the gins had reached total of 6,417,S94 bales out of total of 13 693,279 bales for the year. In 1903 the total production was 10,045,6l5 bales and the ginning output up to October 26 was 8, ,70624S; in 1902 the total was 10,SB,l6S and the output to October 25 was 5,6sS,oo6 Today's report covered 26,S64 ginneries, and the statements upon which 1t was prepared were supplied by telegraph by 702 special agents in the United States most of them representing one county each
 The fact that the bulletin was not issued until o'clock, two hours after the usual time, caused some complaint from brokers in different cities, and some of these which had reached the bureau be- fore the document was given to the pub lie, were of sensational character. These are summarized in the following from Secretary Hester of the New Or leans cotton exchanges:
