The Iron Trade Review says:
Indications of improvement in the iron and steel
markets easily dscernible in spite Of the fact
that pig iron prices are still saggng and that the
rapid curtailment of production OF coke. pig iron
and finished materials continues. While q few
steel plants have resumed operations. others have
idle. and the active capacity does not differ
materially from that of Il week 1t is estimated
that e. per OF the steel mill capacity of the

FIFTEEN SPECIAL POLICE
 FOR MONTGOMERY FAIR
Chief Taylor win Appoint Them In .
 Few Days.

The appointment of the fifteen extra policemen to do duty during the State Fair. which was authorized by the City Council, will be announced by Chief of Police W. H. Taylor in a few days. Chief Taylor has received numerous ap- plications for appointment.
 Ten of the fifteen men to be ap- pointed will be uniformed and five plain clothes men," Chief Taylor ex- poets to employ regular men at the fair grounds and usess the temporary members of the force in town. He has not yet selected the detail.
 The policing of the fair grounds has made prominent the fact that under the provisions of the city charter bill re- gently adopted by the Legislature the police. departments jurisdiction is ex- tended three miles from the corporate limits of Montgomery. instead of a mile, as In the past. The necessary formallty of specially deputising the officers as deputy sheriffs is resultant from the situation of the fair grounds in another corporation than thatlof the city.

ONE YEAR SENTENCE.
Dean Lambert Is Found Guilty of AIan-
 slaughter by Jury.

Dean Lambert As Found Guilty of Man
 slaughter by Jury.
 Florence, Sept. 27.-(Special. )-The jury in the case of Dean Lambert, alias Tuten, charged with the murder of Arnie Lamb, returned @ verdict of man. slaughter in the first degree, after be- ing out an hour and thirty minutes, and fixed his punishment at one year in the penitentiary.
 The circumstances of the killing were briefly told as follows; There had been bad blood between Lambert and Lamb for year and the latter had made threats to kill Lambert. The two men had had three encounters in which knives, pistols and baseball bats were the weapons, and two indict- ments were pending against Lamb, which had been instigated by Lam- bert.
 On the afternoon of the killing. which occurred at Rogersville, Lam- bert was sitting in a store when Lamb passed by. He went back into the store where his shot gun was sitting. pick ed it up and followed Lamb, overtak- ing him when he had gone about fifty yards. Just as Lambert raised the gun to his shoulder. a negro spoke to Lamb and he turned and as he did so. Lam- bert shot him in the left side. Lamb fell mortally wounded and as he tried to crawl around a corner for protec- tion, Lambert followed and emptied a second charge from his shot gun into his right temple.
 Lambert was ably defended by Geo P. Jones. Judge E B. Almon of Tus- cumbia and w. B Ellis of Iuka, Miss, and immediately after the polling of the jury, Judge Almon, the only one of the defendants attorneys in the court room. gave notice of an appeal.
