harlan, son OF Associate Justice Har-

attributed TO an ordinary wnIII OF

and taking ina wide sweep, embrac-

factor. Inc victor is Judge Edward

support the town. Now what is to be
done with the thousands of acres of land
now torn up with mining operations
around the town? Well let us see. 10
the first place only u small portion of the
great fertile region or body OF land ad
jtcent to the city is thus defaced and
there is any amount of land worth from
$40 to over 800 per acre which has
never been nor ever will be touched with
the miners pick, and there will be plenty
of the best Of farming land left to we'll
support much larger city than ours.
But we must utilize this land that has
been so badly torn up and defaced
which some say is worth nothing now.
1t is true it will cost much to level this
land and get it into tiilable condition
perhaps from Sl5 to $25 in some IT,
stan ces, per acre.
THE value then2'' Well in the first
place you have soil that is Loose and
mellow for several feet through, which
the long roots OF the Alfalfa or Alsike
clover may easily penetrate to a great
depth, with the advantage Of the moist
ure always present, deep down in the
soil. OF course clover is not the only
crop that will grow Iuxuriously on this
land but most any laguminous crop will
do so, among which, are such as peas,
beans and all the clovers. These crops
will pump" the lnexhaustable supply
of phosphorus and other fertilizing
qualities of this soil to the surface where
it can be utilized, thus making COM
plete and natural soil again.

CUT HIS SWEET

Tebe Brown, Colored, Assaults
Sarah Harris.
WOMAN HAD NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Sarah Harris, colored, had a narrow
escape from death Tuesday night at the
hands of Tebe Brown, coored, her dis
carded lover, and as it is, she will bear
the evidences of the conflict to the
grave.
Phe assault occurred at the post
office corner at about III o'clock. Brown,
enraged by jealousy, and knowing the
woman would come that way, awaited
her coming, and from the nature o. the
wound, tried to end her existence with
one blow. The wound, caused by q
knife, extends across one side of the
woman s neck and had it been the
fraction of an inch deeper, there would
have been different tale to tell.
Brown was arrested late by officers

against him. He is in the city Jail
awaiting trial Saturday.

4 dispatch from Berlin says the Ger

it as probable that the month will not
end without peace. The Russian EN-
peror, it is SAID, is standing alone for a
continuance OF the war, while the Grand
Dukes and practically the whele of his
official family are in favor of opening
negotiations for peace. Terrorists are
manifesting unusual activity, and an
outbreak of violence is regarded as
probable shortly after the Russian
Easter. Japanese reports from Man

NINETEEN LIVES ARE LOST
New York Tenement Becomes
a Fiery Furnace.
OCCUPANTS WERE SLEEPING
Several Of the Victims Slowly Roast
ed to Death in View Of Thous-
ands of Spectators.

Nineteen persons were burned to
death in a fire which destroyed the
five-story tenement house at los Allen
street, New York. More than 40
were injured and only a few of the
sleeping inmates escaped unhurt.
Several of those who perished were
roasted to death in plain view of
thousands in the streets.
Coroner Goldenkranz declared after
an investigation that he had reason
to believe the blaze was the work of
for the fire marshal, tenement house
and building inspectors and health
and police officials to appear before
him at the inquest Thursday.
The list of dead include Rachel
Solomon, Jacob Solomon, Isaac Solo,
mon, Jessie Cohen, Rose Wiener,
Sander Wiener, Ida Muskowitz, larry
Kaufman, Rose Miller, Morris Miller,
Sarah Kline, Bella Ziedler, Harry
Ziedler and Rachel Liedler. The
other bodies have not been identified.
The fire started in the basement
and spread with frightful rapidity to
the roof. The victims were caught
in traps of flames, the halls and ex-
its being rendered impossible in a
few minutes after the blaze started.
The building was one of the usual
crowded tenements and the disaster
was the worst in the history of the
East side.
Chief Croker, of the fire depart
ment, asserts that the police and the
tenement house departments are to
blame for the violations of the fire
escape law. The tenement house de-
partment officials, however, say that
the blame is on the shoulders of the
fire commissioner OF the 19 dead,
three bodies, those of a boy and two
girls, remain unidentified.

Large Coal Shipments from Pitts

Eclipses All Previous Records.

r. G. Dun & Cos. weekly Review

ture is still needed to bring out full
spring activity at many points, but

fidence. Railway earnings, which

son with last year. were 81 per cent.
large sale is rumored. Prices are
and there Is comparatively little COM
plalnt of freight congestion. A good
boating stage has produced large coal
shipments at Pittsburg, and the
movement of coke from Connellsville
eclipses all previous records. This
free distribution of fuel testiiies to
the activity of manufacturing plants
especially in the iron and steel in
dustry.
Floods have done some damage on
the Pacific coast, but farming pros
poets there, as in most other sec
tions, are decidedly favorable. Large
farm reserves of corn and oats are
not accompanied by depressed prices,
and the small wheat stocks are neu-
tralized by most profitable quotations.
Foreign commerce returns show un-
precedented imports in February.
Good progress Is noted in condi-
tions at pig iron furnaces and
steel mills. Contracts cover deliv-
cries many months in advance, and a
large sale is remored. Prices are
well maintained, and the leading in
terest is expected to make a general
increase of the per cent in wages on
April /.
Outdoor work is still backward, but
the prospective undertakings call for
a big business in structural steel and
higher prices are anticipated for wire
products, sheets and plates. Rail
way supplies of all kinds are going
on freely into consumption. Fall
contracts come to New England shoe
makers in very small volume and
trade is being pushed by travelling
statesmen. Textile industries are
making good progress, prices ruling
firm, with a slight increase in the de-
mand for cotton goods. Little new
export business is noted, but large
shipments continue on old orders. In
the wooden goods division, prices of
new lines show the expected advance
over last season. Failures for the
week numbered 250 in the United
States. against 229 last year, and 26
in Canada, compared with 81 a year
ago.

STEEL TRADE REVIVING
Depression During 1904 Cause ot
Decrease in Earnings.

President w. E. Corey, of the
United States Steel Corporation, pub
lished for the $500 shareholders of
the company the annual report for IL
months ended December 81 last,
showing a decrease of S92, 2,167, 900 in
gross earnings, compared with the
corresponding period of 1903. By
decreasing operating and general ex-
penses, depreciation and improve
ment deductions, and passing the div
idend on the common stock in Jan
uary, the final surplus for the year
showed decrease of only $780, 900.
Through the conversion of the Z per
cent preferred stock into 5 per cent.
bonds S5,lS4,000 was saved in divi-
dend payments.
In his report Mr.. Corey says the de-
preston in the iron and steel trade
which, in common with all other lines
of business, took place during the
summer of 1903, continued until the
late fall of 1904. In the latter part
of the year 1904 there was a marked
increase in the volume of business
received and this revival has con-
tinued.
The tonnage of untitled orders on
the books December 81, 1904, was
4,696,203 tons of all kinds of manu-
factured products, in comparison
with S,215,123 tons at the close of
