The unfaithful wife was arrested but could not be prosecuted in scourt this morning inasmuch as it is necessary to have both parties to the crime in order to secure a conviction for cohabtation.
 Although the woman deserted her husband almost a month ago. this morning she professed to have deep love for him. She was very penitent and begged to be taken back to Mia sara She said she did not know why she left her husband, she must have been hyptonized.

DISGRUNTLED MAN
 MAKES COMPLAINT
Hut His Criticism of the Fire De- partment Is Found to Be
 Ungrounded.

When Chairman F. B. filling of the safety board arrived at the scene of the fire on Griswold street yesterday afternoon he was met by c. J. Carl son, who at once lodged complaint against the fire departm ent. He in- formed the chairman that the service is bad, that the department is in- efficient and that it was fifteen minutes from the time he telephoned to No. 2 station informing them of the fire before the apparatus arrived.
 MT. filling immediately conducted an investigation and found that the charges made by MT. Carlson are groundless. Enlisting the service of the telephone company MT. filling found that the telephone call sent in by Mr. Carlson was received just fifty seconds ahead of the bell alarm. Further investigation showed that the apparatus arrived at the scene of the fire before the mechanism of the fire alarm had ceased revolving, and it takes only three minutes for this to stop.
 Chairman filling states that he frequently receives complaints from disgruntled citizens concerning the fire and police departments, but in most cases finds them greatly exag- gerated Frequently an excited per son calls the fire department and tells them that "my house is on fire, hurry" or that the "house across the street is on fire," etc. Some little time must perforce elapse before the man at the phone can make the other party realize that the street and number must be given.
 Chief Dame states that every time fireman makes a little mistake it Is greatly exaggerated and the news is distributed about the city, to the detriment of the department. On the ether hand when good work is done it passes unnoticed.

REID MUST SERVE
 LONG JAIL TERM
East Main Street Man Sentenced to Six Months and Ten Days By
 Superior Court Judge.

Instead of having to pay a fine of Sl50 and costs, such as was inn posed on him in the Berlin town court recently, John A. Reid of S5 East Main street, will have to serve six months and then an additional ten days in the Hartford county jail, ac- cording to the sentence imposed by Judge Gardiner Greene yesterday afternoon.
 In the Berlin court Reid was found guilty of reckless driving and of driv- ing an automobile while intoxicated. He appealed from the decision but it availed him nothing. He went to trial before a jury yesterday and was found guilty on both counts.
 Reid formerly operated a livery au- tomobile in this city and on Novem- Der "A he started for Meriden with three passengers. Early that evening Reid coilided with a car driven by H.. L. Schor of Middletown, the accident occurring on Pennington road, Berlin He was arrested on complaint of MT. Schor.
 In court yesterday MT. Gibney said that he saw Reid under the influence of liquor and detected the odor of it in his breath. MT. Schor also claimed to have seen signs of intoxication and said Reid was staggering. Constable William Ritchie gave similar testi- mony. Reid denied touching liquor at all that day and blamed Schor for the accident. The three passengers, l.. J. Marsh, Charles Fusari and Arthur Schultz, gave corroborative testimony.
 Judge Green imposed the ten days sentence for reckless driving and the six months term on the intOxicatiOn charge.

BELIEVED PRICES OF
 ORE WILL ADVANCE
Transactions in Lake Superior
 Iron Ore on Verge Of Closing
The Iron Age yesterday said

] The Iron Age yesterday said: | Transactions in Lake Superior iron
 ore are on the verge of closing which
 it is believed will establish a price of l $4.25 for Mesaba Bessemer and $3.55
 for Messaba on-Bessemer ore, an ad-
 vance of eighty cents for the former
 and seventy cents for the latter upon
 the prices of this year. Old-range
 ores, accordiig to present indications, | will sell at an advance of about sev- 1 enty-five cents over the 1915 sched-
 ule instead of $1, as favored by some 1 producers.
 As demand is expected for all the ore that can be got down in 1916 it is not improbable that sales later in | the season will represent an advance over opening prices.
 Disturbing Factors. The inability of some ore shippers 1 to make season vessel charters for ! next year is a disturbing factor. A l number of vessels have been bought outright and more orders for new ] boats would be placed, but deliveries cannot be had for 1916 trade. Vessel owners are now holding for more than the ten cent advance paid by the Steel Corporation and the taking of 10000, 900 tons in outside charters by the latter has created a tense situa- tion.
 The difficulty of forcing pig-iron production above the present rate ap- pears in the statistics for November. At 3,037,308 tons for last month, the output was 101, PA tons day, against 3,125, 49f in October or 10O,S2 tons day. The steel company furnaces could not keep up the pace they made in the October strain for high records. Some of them may be expected to go out soon for refining, as the hard driving of many months is telling.
 1O3,O33 Tons a Day.
 One Dec. 1 the capacity of the 2S4 | active blast furnaces was 103,033 tons ] a day, against 1O1,S19 tons a day for 1 276 furnaces on Nov 1, this last rate being based on the unusual outputs of October. Production is now at the rate of 38,OO0,0OO tons a year, al- lowing 100000 tons for charcoal pig iron.
 Pig-iron markets in the Central Western and Chicago districts are showing little restraint in their ad- vances. At Chicago sales are numer~ ous and are readily closed at rising prices. In Ohio prices have gone up
  but on the great extent to which pro- ducers find their capacity taken up for the first half of the year.
 Advances Readily Made.
 In steel-making iron advances are 'eadily made, Bessemer iron having old at $1S.5O and $19 at furnace, while basic has brought as high as '1s. For export $20 has been offered or Bessemer.
 The congestion of export shipments f steel adds to the troubles of horne onsumers. While mills are able to upon the relief of the omestic situation, the scarcity of cars s an increasing handicap. The offering of premiums of $3 1o ton for billets, rods and some orms of finished material, particular y plates, brings out but little. Plate ,dvances stand out some mills hav- ng secured 2.25 cents and 230 cents, 'ittsburg, on early deliveries.

New York, Dec. 10-Wall St 10:3o a. m.-The only noteworthy feature of today's early trading was another decline in the Anglo-French five per cent bonds for future delivery at the new low quotation of 94 3-4. Numerous transactions were record ed at that level, including one lot of 160. Regular sales were again made at 97 5-8 and 97 1-2. Dealings in Standard stocks were light, with few changes of importance except in war shares, where some moderate gains were made. There was further &C., tive speculation in low priced and obscure mining shares, but standard stocks moved irregularly.
