AWAITING THf WAGON
 FOR THE LAST RIDE
A Young Man Who Could See the End
 ofthe Road.

There's the wagon now" said a man sitting in the office of the board of su- pervisOrs yesterday as a One-horse wagon was driven into one of the ave nues toward the court house. A young man who sat by one of the windows sasping for breath wearily turned his gaze in that direction with something of painful interest in the vehicle. He was about to take the last ride he would ever take while living. He was certain though of another ride before long, of which he would know nothing.
 The vehicle which came up the ave nue was the wagon from the poor farm. The young man who was waiting for 1t with two bundles wrapped up in paper, which contained all of his earth ly belongings, was Edward E. Johnson, who lately came here from San Fran cisco, a sufferer in the most advanced stage of tuberculosis.
 When he was brought to the office of the board to make application Tor ad- mission to the poor farm he had aI- ready become past speaking; he could barely whisper. He was a wasted skeleton and his clothing, the remnants of perhaps more prosperous days, hung loosely upon him.
 Unlike most men in his condition he had some thought of his personal ap- Dearance. He had just had his hair cut and carefully parted in the middle. At some time he must have been a young man of more than ordinary pre- possessing appearance.
 When the driver of the wagon en- tered the office Johnson struggled from his chair, put on his hat and shook hands with the clerk of the board after the manner of a man who is saving goodbye forever.

BOOM CONDITIONS
IN IRON INDUSTRY
Prospects of Higher Prices
Forces Belated Buyers
Into the Market
HEAVY DEMAND IN ALL LINES
Special to The Evening Journal.


Cleveland, O., Nov. i6.-The Iron Trade
Review in its issue today says:
Boon conditions" We're approximated
during the week in the pig iron market.
The increased scarcity of practically all
grades and the growing belief that the
prediction of so iron by January ! will be
realized, forced belated buyers into the
market with heavy requirements to be
filled and advances were general The
opinion is freely stated. however, that if
$40 iron is reached it will be the result of
natural conditions substantial evidence
now pointing to a pronounced shortage
before spring unless the present prosper
ity is checked. Although practically every
available stack is now being run TO
capacity the demand is not being sup
piled and Chicago anc Youngstown, usual
" producers far in excess Of their local
needs are already shipping in iron from
considerable distance.
Chicago No. foundry is selling at Sl9
to $40 and Southern irons Of the same
grade command Sls.15 at the same point.
Alabama iron is firm, with little to be
had below Si450, Birmingham for No. 2
foundry. Transactions in basic and mall
leable are light owing TO their growing
scarcity. Buyers are seeking contracts
six months ahead at current prices but
find few furnaces willing to book their
orders. Ferro-manganese has gone to SIS
an advance of SO within ten days.
There is a heavy asmand for bar iron
and steel with deliveries two or three
months ahead the best securable, and
stiff premiums the rule for rush orders.
Prices have advanced. Prompt shipment
in structurals is also impossible except at
unreduced premiums, and builders are
clamoring for supplies to take advantage
of the last OF the open weather. Makers
Of agricultural implements are specifying
heavily to fiji their enormous booking
while many are anticipating their needs
and storing materials.
The car shortage is making itself felt
with undiminished force especially in
coke and scrap iron situation, with but
little prospect Of Improvement. Connells-
VILE coke is firm at 50 for furnace on con-
tracts and higher rates for prompt ship
ment. Quotations for the first half Of next
year are either refused or are at heavy
advances. Scattered ore contracts are be
ing made for 1906 at a 5o-cent advance
though one large producer has placed
large amounts at a 25-cent advance.
Unfavorable weather i'm the ore regior
and on the lakes will probably force ship
ments after November somewhat be
low those of last year. 3,500,OOO tons. The
freight rate on the basis Of 75 cents from
the head of the lakes has been regularly
adhered to throughout the season, an un
precedented situation.
The requirements Of ship and cal
builders include heavy tonnages Of plates
Lake shipyards are inquiring for from 90
900 to $500 tons and are figuring OF
twelve large freighters. Steel rail salei
of the week were unusually large.

Sportsmen, However, Say 1t
Was Too Dry for the
Sport

Many Wilmingtonians who went out
cunning yesterday. the first day of the
season, are telling about the large
quantity of game they bagged during
the day. While in many cases the good
luck is merely imaginary yet there
were a number Of parties who did sue
ceed in killing a large number OF rab-
bits.
The majority Of thise who were
fortunate enough to get of at this sea-
son OF the year went down the State
for several days sport. The gunners
say. however, that yesterday was a
poor day for rabbit hunting. 1t was
unusually dry which made it difficulty
for the hounds TO follow trail and
there was also high wind

DARBY CAR OERAILED
At SHELLP0T PARK
This Was Followed by a
Collision But No One
Was Injured

A Darby car was derailed near shellpot
Park about o'clock last night, which de-
layed travel on that line for some time.
Before the crew Of a car coming in an op-
posite direction could be warned of the
danger there was a collision resulting in
the vestibule Of one Of the cars being
crushed in and all the glass in the other
being broken.
The accident was directly due TO the
presence of quantities of leaves on the
tracks. causing the rails to become as
slippery as if oiled, and rendering the ap-
plication of the brakes ineffective, as
the car slid down the hill despite all ef-
forts put forth by the motorman to check
its progress.
The derailed car was bound for Ches-
ter and was in charge Of Conductor Col
lins, who as soon as possible, knowing
the danger Of collision, ran up the hill
to warn the car approaching. This warm
ing was too late. and the heavy car, in
charge Of Conductor Pettijohn and Motor
man Harlxinson, came down the declivity
with frightful speed, only being stopped
by the impact Of the collision.
Fortunately no passengers were injured
The wrecking crew from this city placed
the derailed car on the track.

accident was due to a mistake in whis-
tie signals between the vessels. The
