WAJkHraoTo*. IVcember 2. — The an
nouncement here of the death of Congress
man I'pdegTat! was received with profound
regret, for he bed many personal friends
here. He will be greatly missed in Con
gress whore, although not a brilliant man.
he wm very popular by reason of his warm
beerted social qualities and accommodating
spirit. He was known as a man whooe con
stituent* were his dearest concern,
and it was a noticeable fact
that while others were formulating
>;reat scheme* for national improvement,
IndegratFs bills and pet measures always
related purely to hia constituents or their
interestf. He became the authority in the
House tor all matters pertaining to the
agricultural resources of the country, and
a just and judicious bestowal of chairman
ships last year would have given him the
head of the agricultural committee of the
House. He was strong on tariff matters,
so far as they related to husbandry, and
his tariff speech of last session was the first
and moet widely circulated of the docn
wents s*nt out bv the Congressional Com
mittee this fall.

PntrMCNViLiE, 0., December 2—A num
ber of prominent Republicans have been

meaning that there would be a half-do/en

people of the Seventeenth district.

Pittsbi'MR, December 2.—The feeling of
uneasiness treated f»jr the recent decline
in the price of steel rails has abated but
Tittle, notwithstanding tha opinions of
various manufacturers that ~ *
vu only temporary, and
of the iron
Tills uneasiness is best evidenced
by the watchful eye eastern manufacturers
are keeping on their western competitors,
and the frequent visits of steel manufac
turers of other cities to this center.
Among those who have l>een here the
present week was Mr. William Chisholm,
President of the Cleveland liolling Mill
Company; the establishment in which such
a serious strike recently took place. In
discutsing the situation, Mr. Chisholm
stated that his company ordinarily employ
ed over 5,000 men. but that many of them
were out of employment at present. This
reduction he s>aid was maile in the steel rail
department of the mill, and was due to the
fact that the company could not manufac
ture rails at present |irircs. This price he
lixes at I l.'i per ton.
The extent of the
Over I'rodii« lion
in steel rails may be 6ecn from the follow
ing statistics secured at the oltice of the
Western Iron Association. In 1*78 the out
put of steel rails in this country was 60',
(xiOtons, in lSsl it was 1,.'J00.006 tons, and
the etsimate for the present year is 1,500,
000, an increase of over 200 per cent in
four years. During the past two years the
capacity of the mills lias grown from 1,
250,n00 tons to 1', 125,000 tuns. It is not
necessary to state that the demand lias not
increased comuiensiirately with the pYo
dtn tion, and as a natural consequence the
market is very greatly over:-tucked.
The cause of this over production may
very reasonably l>e attributed to tha
it-mit-nry u|'un me j.oiU ... — ...
increase the capacity of their works. Look
ing the country over it does not sccni that
many new concerns have been established,
but "the expansion of those already
in existence lias been ticmendous.
Lvery manufacturer seems pressed
with a desire to bo known as
a kin'' or at least a prince, in the iron
world. Wills with a capacity of working
lUO-men have made additions giving them
a capacity of 500. Those fi»riiierlv employ
ing 400 and 5U0 now give employment to
two or three or five thousand. While it
would not be proper to mention names. I
could point to a halt dozen such over
prown establishments, and I dire say
Wheeling can furnish several examples.
The general failure of-strikes in all di
rections last summer and fall was an indi
cation that business was being pushed to
its utmost limit and that

Added to the decreased demand, the natural
dullness of the season will help to produco
this effect. The closing of the works of the
North Chicago rolling mill, yesterday for
want of orders, by which over 2,0(K) men
were thrown <»ut of employment, has had a
depressing effect upon mill owners and
employes here.
One of our most conservative and beat in
formed manufacturers, with whom I con
versed last evening, sai d:
"It cannot be denied that the market is at
{>resent very uncertain, but I do not appre*
lend that this state of affairs will he very
lasting. It seems to me that this threatened
trouble is the result of undue s)<eculation.
When such huge monetary interests arc
involved in railroad and oilier specula
tions of an uncertain character, the effect
can not be but tor evil. Stock speculations
are a curse to the legitimate business in
terests of the country. Another intluence
in causing the
Itrpmiril Stale of Trtule
is the evident intention of the coming Con
pn to do some tinkering with the tariff.
Whatever is done in this direction will have
the effect of unsettling values until trade
readjusts itself to the new order of thing9.
A change of policy is always dangerous to
existing business interests and the prudent
business man times his acts for the coming
gale. That is what is goirg on in this
country now. While I am firmly convinecd
that the outcome of the matter will be a
permanent reduction in prices, I yet do not
believe the result will be a serious blow to
the laboring class. The reduction will not
be large and w ill be followed by a propor
tinate decline in the price of commod
ities. There will l>e no trouble w hatever
in the readjusting process. Our men all
work under the scale and with the fall in
the selling price w ill, uf cour-ie, submit to
the proportionate reduction in their
wanes."
The m ill? of this rifv are still running as
usual, and probably will continue to run.

The tone of this letter may cause your

*eek the retrcnclmifcui comes from another
direction, namely in the oj>erating expen
ses. An order goes into effect to day on
the lints operated by the Pennsylvania
Iiai!road Company that will largely re
duce the number of their employes,
This first move is made in the direction
of the •nsaintair.aRce of war" men: in
Other'xorda the sjns of the Emerald lale
who keep the road in good order. On the
Pittsburgh, Fart Wayne A Chi-ago Rail
road over 2.WW men are employed in thia
capacity. Today seven hundred of thein
when they rewired their pay got with
it a notice that their services
were no longer required. Upon the Pan
handle road the same order went into ef
fect, and the main stem will soon follow
! suit, it is said, in a few weeks. To be thrown
out of employment just at the commence
ment of the winter will be a hard blow to
these men. who are generally improvident.
This reduction can hardly be attributed to
business depression, for it is a well known
fact that the Fort Wayne road has more
business than it can handle, and frequent
ly suffers frona a freight blockade. The road
bed can not be repaired to much ad vantage
during the cold weather, so these men ar«
discharged now to oe rehired again in th<
spring, if they survive the winter.

looking up
ice to a very general feeling
ol uneasiness in reference to tbe iron in
terests of the country a reporter met a
prominent manufacturer of iron with whom
ne had a hurried interview.
There seems to be an undercurrent of
feeling in reference to trouble in the iron
bueiness. Can you give any information
in regard te it?
"I know of no special feeling in the mat
ter."
Are the mills going to shut down?
"I have not heard of any of the mills
going to close. Some of them are running
on single turn, and it is possible that others
may do the same."
Is there any reason for shutting down or
running on single turn?
"There is certainly a reason for It; a lack
ot orders if sufficient. Iron men do not
wish to pile up iron. They can't afford to
make iron at.present prices. Iron is as
low as it ever was then labor is toe high.
If there is any cause for depression it is
overproduction, and the only remedy for
this is to stop producing. Many of the
blast furnaces will doubtless clofe, as they
cannot afford to run at the present prices
of ore snd labor. Iron ore is entirely too
high, and the furnaces cannot ail'ord to go
on making iron that cost them $'_'0 and
per ton and sell it at less than that. It is
low as it has been since '72 or '7;». Takiug
these things into consideration, the high
prii e of ore and labor, and the overproduc
tion ©i'iron, the low prices, it could hardly
be wondered that there should be some de
pression, but there is no reason for a
panic."

at the time of the swindle aU»it the pol

its Lold, peruiitted tbe gua barrel to drop

the pun was not pointed at the deceased,
but at an apple, six inches above tbe head.
He suggested also that Frayne had already

law could give greater weight to tha lesson
of this accident. Judge Higby leaned to
tbe opinion that tbe statute wae not die

He said the testimony clearly showed that
