HEAVY RUSH ORDERS
COMING FAST
DETROIT MANUFACTURERS AND
WHOLESALERS ANNOUNCE
CONFIRMATION OF MANY
CONTRACTS.
CAUSE JUMP IN PRICES.
iron and Steel Men Refuse TO Figure
Beyond New Year's-Car Shops
Likely to Be Running on Full Time
Before Long.

The impetus OF better times Is APP
parent in the increased orders re-
ceived by Detroit manufacturers and
wholesalers. Most of these are con-
hrmation of contracts pending cleo
ton.
The can companies of Detroit manu-
facture large share of the cans used
by the packing houses of Chicago,
Omaha and Kansas City.
These institutions just before cleo
ton doubled their requirements for
raw material, tin plate, and now have
again increased the orders, making
difference in the contracts of about
10 car loads OF tin plate alone. One
man, a representative of large iron
and steel concern, was quoted as say
ing at least 100 contracts had been
closed with firms here since election.
Agricultural implement men say
they expect a season of activity dur
ing 1909 that will put in the shade
any record ever before made for the
volume of business done at good
prices. They say the farmers are
making inquiry ahead and. that hav-
ing the cash to pay, there will be
sold more farm labor saving devices
than ever before.
Wholesale interests are also feeling
the results of election in greater in
quiry for goods and orders for quick
delivery. This indicates that although
the buying was fair previous to cleo
ton 1t was of the hand-to-mouth or
der and that small merchants were
running closer to their actual require
ments than was generally supposed.
Take the dry goods line as an in
stance. Orders sent east by whole
sale houses meet with the reply that
shipments will be made as soon as
possible, but that many orders are in
ahead of those sent from Detroit.
The convertors, the men who trans
form the basic grays into colored
prints, are now actively in the market
and buying everything in sight to care
for the demand they see coming. The
same state of affairs is reported in
other lines and the quickening of the
industrial pulse is noticeable every
where.
Indications are that the placing OF
orders by the railroads before long
that will start up the American Car
G. Foundry shops at Detroit to nearly
their full capacity in single shifts.
These favorable views were empha-
sized by reports from New York and
other eastern points.
Among the typical views held in the
business world of Chicago are the fol
lowing p. G. jerks. general manager
of the Western Steel Car & Foundry
Co: 1--WE anticipate improvement.
IL will be steady and slow and, being
that, it will be healthy and perma-
nent. The substantial Improvement
does not come by sudden jerks and
flashes. The results of the election
quieted those who were anxious and
fortified those who were uncertain"
c. w. Trowbridge of the American
Bridge Co: 1--WE expect business con-
ditions to grow stronger every day.
Things from now on will steadily i'm

SUPREME COURT.
About rs Liquor Gases Disposed Of by
Special Attorney Butler.

When the criminal docket was
reached at the December term OF tn
supreme court 10 liquor cases were
disposed of by the special county at
toTncy, a. *. Butler, who was APP
ointed to take the place Of 7. j.
Young of Soon. the regular county at
tcrney. by Governor Cobb. AS is well
known, this appointment was mad
under the StLrgis law and caused con-
siderable discussion at the time. That
Mr. Butler Gid his work in most
thorough manner cannot be denied
anu the confidence reposed in him by
the Governor, as expressed in his let
ter Of appointment, has not been be-
trayed.
Mr. Butler has sent several to Jail
and would have sent more had the re
spondents been within reach of the
officers He has imposed fines and
costs which if not paid will ccnfine the
respondents who have violated the
rr1hibitory law in Jail for a longer Pc
Rod He has mol pressed a number OF
cases for reasons which appear on the
docket, mostly because there was not
sufficient evidence t. convict and be-
cause an agreement to that effect
had been made at the September term
by Mr. Young.
OF the % cases which he continued
those are by no means dropped. Some
were continued upon the promise of
the respondent to go out and stay out
OF the business. If they break their
word they will be brought up for sem
tencc. Some were continued because
the respondents could not be found.
The following is a complete list Of all
the continued cases
Ira o. Butler and Frank NJ. Cotton,
common sellers; A. E. Butler, common
seller and nuisance; Edmund H. .,rant.

William Howard is without doubt
the most persistent violator Of the IL
quor law In Somerset county. On the
present docket there are II cases
against him. Six of these are contin-
ued, in the ether five he was given 4
sentence. The i've fines imposed by
Judge Cornish against him with the
costs amount to 1899. and in addi-
ton he must serve II m onths in Jail.
If he does not pay the fines and the
costs he ALL be obliged to serve IA
months additional or % in all. At
present his whereabouts are unknown.

SANDERSONS DEFENCE
Is That He Did Not Charge What He
Was Really Entitled to.

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 30.-That John
H. Sandcrson did not really charge as
much for furniture supplied for the
new Capitol as he was entitled under
his contract. will be the chief defence
in the conspiracy suit against Sender
son, Snyder Matthews and Shumaker
nov on trial in the Dauphin county
court This was developed by the
REORGANIZATION today by Stamford
D. Lewis, who was Architect Joseph
n. Illusions active assistant during
the construction and equipment of the
Capitol.
Huston was indicted jointly with
Sanderson and his co-dCfendants and
vas granted a separate trial when the
case was called Monday. Lewis was
called to Identify blueprints and sofas
and clothes trees offered in evidence
and Tor which Sanderson was paid for
by the state at the rate of $3.50 per
foot" Lewis was compelled by the
defence TO mea each of the articles
exhibited. Notwithstanding the FRO
test of the chief counsel for the COM
monvealth, who contended that he
had simply been called to Identify
these plans.
\ sofa six feet long was shown to
contain Sc of the kind of feet on
which Sanderson based his charges.
When II was established that Sander
son did not charge all he claims he
was entitled to, the attorneys for the
state took up that line and ran it out.
They showed that clothes tree
which Sanderson contracted to furnish
for $3.50 and for which he was paid
sa740 by the state, could have been
billed at s141.50. according to the the
ory Of the defence. They also showed
that Sanderson charged only 1919 feet
for the 56-foot sofa at the rate of
$3.50 per foot" or s3es.4O instead Of
$1,000 10 to which he was entitled had
he charged for it at this rate.
Both sides professed to be satisfied
with the result Of the measurements.
The defence declares that it has
shown that Sandrson did not do but
the commonwealth contends that IL
has shown that Sanderson did not do
because he was afraid of playing Il
trC hard" The next thing will be to
show how the schedule on which San
derson WIS given the contract for Cap
itol furnishings was adopted.
The defence showed by accountants
who made an inventory Of the furni-
ture supplied by Sandersoh that GER
tain tables. measuring eigh. rect long
and four feet wide were billed to the
state by Sanderson as containing 10
feet vi the rate Of s1s.4S "rer foot"
The state holds that Sanderson was
entitled TO charge only s10.s0 ''per
foot" for the tables, and that the con-

NARROW ESCAPE
CT Two Men on Maranacook-Men
And Horse Go In.

From Morrilrs island to Big Pine
point on Lake Maranacook there is a
ref in the ice which leaves an open
channel which cuts clear across the
n @ at this place. This channel has
been open all winter, though the Ice
ems perfectly solid on either side.
ard no one seems to understand Just
Mat caused the opening. This reef
came near being the scene of seri-
Gus accident Tuesday. Deputy Sheriff
+. W. Brown and Mr.. Whittier OF
Readiield came down across the pond
to attend the trial held here Of Alpine
US Townsend on charge of robbing
Wheeler brook pound.
When they came to the open chan
mel of water Mr.. Whittier thought, as
it was not very wide, the horse
would be able to jump across to the
ice on the other side. Accordingly he
made an attempt to do this. The for
ward feet # the animal struck the
ice but he Slipped back into the wat
er In their endeavors to land the
horse upon the ice once more both
men got into the lake. Finally, how
ever, they got the animal headed for
Pine Point and he succeeded in get
tirg ashore. The animal was nearly
frozen but vigorous treatment re-
stored him and neither OF the men are
the worse for their ducking.
