Tho Iron Market.

Matthew, Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati cir cular says there is beginning to be an
 element of excitement in the big iron
 market" It says further that within a week the market for southern iron has jumped from s1l5o for No. f.. o. b. Birminsha to t12, with fair prospect of S12.50 in the immediate future"
 The week closes with iron selling here at s125O, and 1t is believed the market
 will harden at that price within the next
 ten days.
 The Matthew Addy 6 Go. report that
 northern iron has had a similar advance and that there is a nervous feeling among
 the producers that the whole situation
 is changing so rapidly for the better;
 that 1t would be the part of wisdom to
 rather shorten sail and await develop ments.
 The circular concludes as follows: "An immense tonnage of cheap iron has been sold. Furnace order books are well filled and tho future of the mar ket is now up to the general business in- terests of the country. If there is a mar
 ket for the finished forms of iron, then the pig iron end of the situation will take care of itself and the market will see gradually ascending prices. It ia very certain that consumption is steadily increasing and the prospects for a larger and larger melt of iron were never better "Inquiry is large and buying has been heavy. Not only this but consumers are asking to have shipments made at q
 faster rate. The absence of requests tc
 hold shipments on contracts is goot sign"
 The Tennessee Company is still out o the market and no announcement Is madt as to how long 1t will probably contiau' out.

Oh, we're bound to be so happy
 When the light Is breaking through And the sun is oeaming kindly,
 Making diamonds of the dew. That we really won't remember
 How the skies were overcast On a morning dark and dreary
 Which Is now forever past. And we won't be thralls to sorrow
 When the world is sweet and fair And the walSened birds are winging,
 Happy spirits, through the air, And the roses breath is filling
 All the land with sweet perfume And we wonder if we ever i Had a yesterday of gloom, That's the way we'll all be feeling
 And you'll find my words are true When we've said goodbye to trouble
 And the light is breaking through

RECORD RACING FRAUD.
From Answers.


 The attempted racing fraud in France the other day, which consisted in running son of the famous volodyovsxi in the name of another and younger horse, is one which has frequently occurred in sporting novels, and has even been tried In real earnest upon an English race course on at least one occasion
 This was the Derby of 1884, when a plot within plot was engineered by certain parties. the details being of SO extraordinary and complicated nature that the whole truth concerning them. has never yet been properly eucidated. The main facts, however, stand out clearly enough. Firstly, there was horse called Running Rein, which was entered as three-year-old. whereas it was really a four-year-old whose original name was Massabeus. For the same race there was entered horse called Leander, also, 1t was afterward asserted, a four-year- old.
 There were thus two alleged four-year- olds running for the Derby, which is, as all the world knows, race for three year-olds. Each was accordingly backed for large sums by those fin the know"
 Only one thing troubled the conspira- tors. The favorite for the race among the outside public was one Ratan-a mag nificent animals-and of course, a three year-old-and the plotters feared that, despite the disparity in the ages he might prove too good for both Leander and Running Rein. He was accordingly 'got at" in his stable the night before the race and rendered incapable of run ming.
 Just after the start of the race Running Rein kicked Leander-whether purposely or accidentally was never made clear--and broke his leg. afterward winning in a canter. But suspicion had been aroused, an objection was lodged on behalf of the owner of the second horse, Orlando, and legal proceedings ensued which was the most sensational lawsuit ever heard.

 READY FOR LOWER
 BRIDGE DEATHTRAP

A gang of laborers and engineers in the employ of the Consolidated railroad commenced this morning to tear down the fence along the south walk be- heath the Fairfield avenue bridge of railroad viaduct, and to make sur veys with a view of making anther driveway beneath the elevated tracks.
 This is the first step toward com plying with the agreement made be- tween Aldermen Gould and Bullard for the city and President Charles 5. Meilen for the railroad in connection with the permission given the city to cross the sidewalk at grade on the north side of Stratford avenue with the street in Middle street at Con gress street.
 The south sidewalk under the rail- road bridge Is to be moved to the
 pier south and the sharp angIe now occup-v- / a -un~n cart at the west app-aarA -s -rn bridge is to be
 srated and the street line chang ed so tnA1 ~. ---... ana the side walk on the south side of the bridge will make a diagonal line connecting the walk under the tracks with the Stratford avenue draw.
 The extra driveway that the rail- road is to provide will be of more benefit to teams coming from the freight sheds of the steamboat wharf than the teams passing to and from East Bridgeport from the west side. Vans piled high with goods will not be able to pass under the viaduct as the bridge work is about five feet lower than that of the two openings which were originally intended for driveways.
