Battle in the Air.

Paris. Sept. "a fight in the air
over Paris took place last evening.
Three German aeroplanes lowered over
the capital and Immediately two French
machines were sent up to engage them.
Meanwhile rifles and machine guns
mounted on public buildings kept up a
constant fire. By this means one of
the German machines became sepa-
rated from the others and the French
aviators flew swiftly in its direction.
The Germans opened fire, to which
the Frenchmen replied vigorously.
The engagement seemed to turn to
the disadvantage of the German, who
mounted speedily to higher level and.
holding this position, was saved from
further attack. He finally disappeared
in a northwest direction over Fort
Romainville after a vain pursuit.
The other German aeroplanes also
escaped the fire of the guns and after
circling about for a considerable time
disappeared from view.

WEBB HALL WILL bE REBUILT AT ONCE To Replace DOrmitOry at Livingston Early as
 Possible

Montgomery September 30.-(Spe- cial.)-Webb Hall. the new dormitory at the Livingston Normal school, which was destroyed early this morning by fire, will be rebuilt at once according to an announcement made today by Superintendent of Education William r. Feagin. The building was fully cov- cred by insurance. according to Super intendent Feagin, and steps for replac- ing the structure will be taken as early as possible.
 Tue building contained about 70 rooms, and was practically new throughout. one-half of the structure having been built about four years ago and the other half last year. At the tirle the fire broke out more than 200 girl students were in the dormitory. but they all escaped without injury. All their clothing and other posses sions were lost.
 Superintendent Feagin announced that le anticipated that arrangements would be made for continuing the school session He declared that the executive committee of the state nor nal beard, which is composed of the governor, Capt. William T. Sheehan and himself, would probably go to Living ston in few days for the purpose of making arrangements for the rebuild ing of the dormitory.

Railroad Buying Discouraging
Exnart Steel Orders

New York, September 30-(SpeoiaD D-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 With little prospect of change in the lnfavorable conditions at home in the remaining months of the year the steel trade is getting some satisfaction from export orders and the further develop ments looked for in that direction.
 The Steel corporation is now booking foreign business at practically the rate at which it was coming in before the var which indicates good progress in |, September. Abmout 15,000 tons of sheet 'bars have been sold in this country to England, and it is expected this amount will be increased to 100000 tons by the end of October. Wire products are still prominent in foreign inquiries. and the total now up. including wire rods, is put at close to 25,000 tons. Russia is in the market for 10000 tons of plates. In gen eral, the prices mills are now quoting ex- port houses on finished material are .lower than were named in August when ythe idea prevailed that the world must soon turn to this market for its steel
 The decline in specifications and the greater falling off in new orders in Sep tember have left steel companies little encouraged over the outlook. At home there is no expectation that the railroads will materially increase their use of steel for some months. In the Chicago district mills have not been for years so short of work in heavy products.
 Such stagnation as has come upon the pig iron market has probably not been seen since 1896. In lieu of business sellers of southern pig iron have been exercised over the failure of certain roads in cen tral territory to make the reduction of 5 cents on southern iron. which was called for in the commerce commission's s order in July. Two sets of rates are now in effect in that territory and the matter will again go to the commission for ad- justment.

 "A vigorous German bombardment of forts Woelhm. Wavre and St Cath crime. which was continued through out the night. abated at o'clock this forenoon. The assailants did not suc- cced in silencing the guns of the Bel gian forts nor in anywise lowering the morale of the garrisons of the forts.
 "At no point did the German infantry dare tc move against our first lines of defense. Only one attempt was di- reeted against forts Liezele and Bre- donta. Our troops keeping positions between these works, permitted the enemy to advance until they. were with in close range. when the artillery and infantry, working in remarkable com bination. showered the attacking col umn with hail of projectiles and bull lets which threw their ranks into dis order and compelled a precipitate re- treat. This attempt cost the Germans dearly and was not repeated.
