up with the leaders of your
community and have them use
their influnece I'm behalf of the
new PLAN"

When asked what he thinks O
the possibility of Negroes los ns
their jobs with the city. Mr..
Spauldins said that he knows of no
case where a competent Negro who
does his work well has been dis
charged merely because he is a
Negro. He showed our reporter a
letter signed by City Manager r.
w. Flack, in which was outlined
the superiority oi the proposed
plan over the present form now
ir use in Raleigh.
MIR. Spauid:ng particularly stress
ed the fact that the City Manager
must be a very high type of man
as it takes such a man to manage
city. The many important duties
of the manager, besides the usual
governmental functions such as
Fire, Police, Department of Public
Works, requires a man who is
versed in business and who man
ages the affairs of the city at the
lowest cost possible and Is immune
from political interference.
Mr.. Spaulding closed by saying
that he did not know who is to be
elected City Manager of Raleigh,
nor is it possible for him to know
who the councilmen will be. but
but the only thing that he did
know. was that Negroes will re-
ceive better treatment under the
city manager form of government.

periOr iron ore, concerning stocks at
lower lake ports and in furnace yards,
is favorable. The prospects are that
there viii be less of such iron ore at
the close Of navigation late this month
than at the close of the 1894 season.
There was less by 1,412,O0 tons on Lake
Erie docks and in furnace yards as of
Oct. l, 1885, than on the like date in
1884. At any rate there will be no
unusual surplus to confront the iron ore
industry at the opening of navigation
next spring. The resumption Of steel
activities bears the mark Of sustained
and increasing demand for the first
time in five years. Even if confidence
has not been fully restored, there is un-
mistakable evidence that economic
pressure is moving regardless of what
Washington has done or may do.
The movement of iron ore from Lake
Superior mines will be in the neighbour
hood Of 100000 gross tons this season,
and will compare with q. 756, 400 tons
in the 1884 season. The ore industry
got fair workout this season for the
first time since 1881, and more ore will
be moved in 1886 than in 1885. The
ore tonnage in 1895 should be not less
than 100000 gross tons. One CIeve-
land man is quoted as estimating about
100000 tens. There is less ore in
stCckpHe at the Lake Superior iron
mines than a year ago. Present plans

Lake Superior District Predicts
Improvement IN Production
and Shipments.

There is q general revival of the iron
ore industry, not only in the Lake Su-
perior district, but in the east and
south, says Skillings' Mining Review.
Prospects at the present time seem
favorable for normal production and
shipments over the year 1886. A nor
nal season for the Lake Superior dis
trict is now reckoned at 100000 to
&C. 900 900 gross tons Of ore.
The advance Of 81 per ton for pig
iron. and Of g per ton for finished
steel, coupled with an advance Of so
cents IN the price Of finished steel, and
the blowing in Of numerous merchant
blast furnaces recently, are significant
incidents in the iron and steel situa-
ton. From all accounts the men Of the
steel industry are optimistic concerning
the coming year, which is most signif-
cant of all.

MYSTERY CASE
DENIAL ISSUED
Man, Married Five Times,
Quizzed I'm Death OF
Bride of Month

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10. Up
Stoutly denying any connection
with the mystery. Robert s. James,
five times married, was at liberty
Saturday after being held briefly
Friday night for further question
ing by authorities investigating the
death Of his late wife, Mary, n,
former beauty shop operator.
Disclosing that James real name
is LiSenba, Capt. Norris Stensland
OF the Sheriff's office, said officers
had discovered enough sleeping
powder to put an entire family to
sleep" In the widower's house. The
inquiry continued Saturday.
Mrs. James, q bride Of less than
q month. was found lying beside a
goldfish pool in the yard of her
home last Monday, her face sub
merged in the water. Investigators
at first said the woman, believed TO
be an expectant mother, apparently
had tainted.
MY conscience Is clear and I
certainly don't know why ! have
been arrested" James declared.
Stensland said James first wife,
whom he married 20 years ago in
Birmingham, Ala, was Maude Dun
can. They were divorced and the
second mate, Vera Mae Vermillion,
OF Emporia, Kas., was similarly
separated.
The third wife, Winona Wallace
James, drowned accidentally in a
bathtub in Manitou, Colo, in 1892.
James fourth wife was Ruth

marriage was annulled.

The senate committee, speeding
its consideration in an announced
attempt to get the bill to the SEN
ate floor next week, also Is report
ed to have rejected the house in
heritance rates and altered the
excess profits tax.
The comittee, by q vote Of IL to
8, turned thumbs down on the
house inheritance rates, which
range from 4 percent to rs per-
cent. the former applying to the
portion Of q bequest between $50
000-$60,0 900 and the latter to that
part Of an inheritance over So
100000. The senators instructed ex-
perts, II was said, to prepare O
new inheritance scale for tentative
study.
The committee was said to have
approved tentatively q new excess
profits schedule providing for a six
per cent tax on profits between 10
and Is percent and II percent on
those over IS per cent.
This represented an easing Of
the house rates.
