Hew Itllaa f.iBgat.ned and New Proposes te Kick Up i HHU-iurimet la the Ft Icm Teat Are Mew Prevailing In Eastern and WMMrn Hul.li. There la qalte n novel situation Just new In the Iren trad. In the Went prleee of pig Iren aud old rails bava advanced rary strongly end the finished produeta of iron, of which these are the raw materials, hare also advanced, though hardly at a pro portionate rate. In the EuWhere baa been little moveuaent In the prlee ei pig Iren though old rails have advanced from tbe Weatern demand. The latter are held only b the railroad and by a few speculators who Imported foreign rails sometime ego and hare net been able te get rid of tbem because of their low prlee here. They were down te 18 a ten In the West a few weeke age and new are 25. There 1 no reason fur It exeept that they are wanted and are net te be had t whleh la a very geed reason. The railroads have been ae scared this year by the oel. lapse In business that they have net bought a tblnv; that they could de without. Not withstanding steel rails were te be had at less thsn the cost or making, they were alrald te buy. Consequently they have net taken up any old rails. The Penni aylvanla rellrod,whleh started early In the year te de great things In the way of Im provement, called, ae sudden a halt that It refused te take material that had been made for It by the mills and oempelled them te earry en until It get oeurage and oath enettgb te go aheid. Beoh a performance upon the part of the leading railroad In the country did a great deal towards the demoralization of business that the year has seen, and which was wholly unnecessary. The country was growing all the time and Its demands increasing. The sudden halt te produetlon Is bound te be follewod by a correspondingly sharp reac tion. The West has been the first te see and feel It : the movement Is as oenta glena as the yellow fever, and of course, will catch the Eit. It Is just new reach ing there, though the Alleghenles have kept It back for a fortnight. All the Indications point te a very strong business for the rest of the year In all Iren Industries, The demand for finished Iren has been fair enough all the year, but prices have been very low. And new they reluctantly respond te the advance In the raw materials. At the prloes quoted for bsr and skelp iron in Mew Yerk and Philadelphia, In the trade papers, there would be a large less te the manufacturer at the present prlee of stock, and It la net likely that the manufacturers are having any eueh experience. The price of steel rails does net appear te move up as yet In sympathy with the large reported demand. The Edgar Thomsen works report that tbe demand for rails is ae large that the new mill at Braddoek will seen be taxed te tts utmost capacity, and premises lnereated wagea te Its empleyes, upon the sliding scale system of adjusting wages that It has lately adopted. The large steel mills at Chicago have erdera for their onttre capacity for this year, and It leeks as though the full rail making capacity ei the country would be busy during the coming winter. Tne First Meeting et the t'age Society, M11.T.KI19YII.1.K, Pa, Sept. 8. The Page Literary Beclety of the Mlllersvllle Nermal school held its opening meeting last even ing. The chapel stage was tastefully deco rated with flowers and exotics from Mr. Rohrer's green house, while the general appearance of the ball was cheerful and In viting. The audlence was large and the pro pre gramme suoeessfully executed. After the preliminary buslneis the Page glee club, under the leadership of Rev. J. B. Easen weln, rendered an excellent plece of muaie. Twe referred questions were answered, one by Mlas Amy Sprague and the ether by Mr. Geerge MoCuIleob. Miss Mae Byerly'a piano boIe was well rendered and com manded the close attention of the audlonee. The debate concerning the relative merits as soldiers of Qeneral Grant and Julias CteUr was very spirited aud Interesting. The debate resulted In O rant conquering Cte tar. Rev. J. B. Easenweln tben furnished the Beclety with a beautiful organ sole, Mr. U. C. MUler delivered a well-written oration, and Miss Myra Haverstlck a suita ble recitation.

It was a bright edition, Instructive and entertaining. The exercises closed with the (ilee club singing Italia." The Page begins the session with a very successful Drat meeting aud bright pros pres pros peet for the future. The Ugliest Han Win.. The ugly man committee of the Cumber land oeunty (N. J.) fair was oempalled te award tbe read wagon te "Rathele" Leper en Thursday night The two committee men could net enter the contest tbemselves, and tbe three ladles were tee pretty. The faet that "Rsthele" had applled spread about tbe oeunty, and no one dared te enter tbe contest Leper had things all his own way, and coolly enjoyed his power. Tbe committee men bad no alternative, and they smilingly awarded the prize te the hideous man. Leper get between the shafts of tbe read eart and took a turn or two about tbe fair grounds, followed by a orewd et shouting gamins aud young men. He walked proudly out of tbe gates, dragging his prize, lie has been asked for his photo graph by a patent medlelae firm, which thinks (bat Lepar's picture will pass for a resident of Iceland who has been cured by their preparation. m Arranging in Parade at Colombia.

VOUTIOAt. NOTBS. Mr. Themas Rtobaraaea.a Melen end eathuMastle Republican et Illlen, N. Y., baa created a sensation In the political circle of that section by announcing his purpose te support Cleveland and Thurman. He la a highly respected and Influential lawyer of Herkimer county, and baa alwaya been looked upon as one of the oeuntry'aieadtng eIUemb. Mr. Richardson's ehlet reason for supporting Cleveland ia the tarlQ" question. Te a correspondent he said : "I voted for Blaine four years age with some hesitation growing ent el tbe tar Id matter, but I thought that the Democratic platform then was a straddle, while the Republican plat form professed te be in favor of a revision of tariff, with a view of equalizing and adjust ing tbe dutlea In order te relieve the con sumer without injury te the produeer. This year the Republicans have taken very different grounds, The fair construction of their platform, a interpreted by their leaders, la that a red notion et dutlea would Increase the surplus in tbe treasury and wenld be dtaastrena te the country, te tbe manufacturer, the farmer and tbe laboring man ; and their purpose Is te mske tbe duties substantially prohibitory. 1 am also opposed te that plank In tbeKepub.lcan platform whleh says : 'We favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than tbe surrender of any part of our protective system.' I am persistently sod esrnestly opposed te It, for It mesne free whisky end free tobacco. Besides the Democratic party does net advocate free trade, as has been unfairly and perhaps insincerely repre sented by the Republicans, but it leads te a redaction et datiee generally, and especially en raw materials. I shall vote for Cleveland end Thurmbn, and 1 think they will win." A handsome Hag was fleng te the bretze at Slate and Oewden streets, Harrlabnrg.en Friday evening, by the Colored club re. eently organized In the Interest et Cleve land and Thurman. Tbe flag waa tbe gift of William Battle. A ratification meeting was bold, at which apeeches were made by Jatres Heward, Rev. J. R Da&gerfleld and B. F. Meyers. The banner was tbe first ever unlurled by colored Democrats in Harrlsburg. A New Yerk dispatch te the Philadelphia Ledger says : Myren Bangs, the million aire manufacturer, who lives at Falrvlew, five miles from Syrseuse, and has been a Republican all his life, has made a contribution of $10,000 te the na tional Democrstle committee. It Is true," said Mr. Bangs te-night, In the Heffman beuse, "tbat I have given 1 10, 000 te tbe campaign fand or tbe national Democratle oemmlttea I did It because I thought it was proper te de se. because my convictions tend that way. Yeu cannot, nor can any one say, that I bad any self lib. end te gain by doing wbat I did. " Mr. Bangs wsa a crest admirer el Cnnkllnir. and It was tbe Defeat of Felger In 1882 tbat urei maaenim waver in nis Republicanism- During tbe Felgor-Cleveland cam paign a sister of Mr. Cleveland was a guest Ht his house, but Mr. Bsnga veted for Felger, Tnere was a sensational feature in Mon day's labor parade at Clnelnnatl. A New Yerk Times telegram thus describes It : " At G o'clock three assemblies of Knights of Laber, numbering In all 250 men, were marching down Elm street and came in alght of the headquarters of the Tenth Ward Harrison and Morten elub, where a banner with pertalta of the Re publican candidates was stretched across the street Aa they drew near it tbe men stepped and some of tbem refused te pssi under the banner. The commander et tbe division, Captain C. C. Roure, an old cav alry soldier, eild It would be cowardly te run away from tbe banner and they could show tbelr disapprobation In some ether way. Finally the band was Instructed te plsy a funeral dirge, tbe oemmand given te lower fl.gs, and te tbe muale of a dirge, with tbe star-spangled banner trailing in the dust, tbe division marehed under tbe portraits, The men were mostly rolling mill empleyes. Tbey ssy ihey took the action tbey did because General Harrison has been a consistent feo of organized labor and hat been boatlle te their interests en the Chinese question." This is from the Omaha World ; "Will any Irishman vote for Harrison alter hear ing his remsrk that tbe Irishmen in this country were only lit te handle a shovel or fill our poerhousea and penitentiaries?" was a question asked by speaker Mabeney at the Third ward rally leKt night "Mike Lee will," Interjected Pat Ferd. And with native Irish wit Maheney replied: "Yea and se will Wah Lee and Ham Lee and all the etberLee?." A big sensation in political elrcles In Waterloo, Iowa, has beeu ereated by tbe announcement that several prominent Republicans have determined te vete for Cleveland. Among these mentioned were Judge Piatt, president of tbe Couimerce National bank, and Leu Alferd, one of the most prominent atterneye In Iowa, and ex speaker of the Republican Beuse of Repre sentatives. Mr. Alferd differs with his party en tbe tariff and tree whisky planks, and will vote for Cleveland. Dr. A. .1. Douds, a lifelong Republican and a leading professional man. of Canten, O , baa come ent for Cleveland. He flops en account et the tarlfl Issue. Twe mere Republicans have deserted the sinking ship and deelared themtelves for Cleveland and reform. They are Ed ward Ralliy, a beet and shoe merchant at Ne. 23 Bennett street, and Jeseph Leuner, a prominent railroad man, et Bradford. At tbe session of tbe Yenng Men's Dem Dem Dem ocrateo club In Albany en Friday evening a letter was read from Dr. W. O. Stillman, asking te be enrolled as a member. He said lu bis letter tbat tbe polley of President Cleveland was Identical with tbat outlined by the Republican party lu times gene by, and tbat nla position en the tariff was sound. Dr. Stlllnian In 1880 stumped the oeunty for Garfield. Four years age he was abroad until after tbe lime for register. Ing, and se lest bis vete. This year he will reglater and vote for Cleveland. TUB WALKER MUKDEK. What the Principal Wllneaaea te the Assault Hate te Sajr. Tbe assault made by Wallace Walker, of Marietta, en his brether Jeseph, which caused the death et the latter, waa witnessed by the mother of Ibe two young men, who will likely be the principal witness In the case. Before tbe coroner's Jury her testi mony was as fellows : I noticed tbat Jee was In liquor when he came borne at 1 o'clock. Wal came about 20 minutes later and aaked for something te eat, which 1 gave him. Jee rame In and aild te Wal, "Did you sue me?" and Wal replied, "1 don't want te talk te you." Jee then get up, walked te tbe table, caught Wal by tbe neck and choked him. Then I went te the rescue and removed Jee'a handa from Wal'a ueck. Wal then left tbe house, and alter a abort time he ealled te me te oeme out ; 1 was then re monstrating with Jee for bis conduct, and started te go out, when Jee rushed by me and get out ahead of me. Wben out side Jee said, " Where Is he j I will break bis neck." Before Jee said tbat Wal threw a stone which grared my arm ; alter that a second stone was thrown, whleh atruek Jee en the head. He fell and lay unconscious en the ground, I washed bis bead alter I saw bleed coming and bound up the wound. I called for Mr. Andersen, and young Jehn Andersen took Jee te Dr. Mowery ; they were gene about one-hslf hour, Jehn Walker, father of the boys, testi fied ; Was In tbe room ; Jee said te Wal, you were running around ter the con stable te have me arrested." Wal went out te call his mother. 1 went out and a stone was thrown and hit Jee en the bead. The first stone I kept, but It has since dis appeared.

Ills effort te Commit the Chinese Fxclnsten BUI te Iha Foreign Affairs Committee, In the Senata dlaousslen en the Chinese treaty en Friday Senater German moved toeommltthe Heuse bill te the oemmlttoo en foreign relations, declaring tbat it had oeme before tbe Senate under a misapprehension. He said : " While It wss under consideration here and elsewhere there was a belief that the treaty recently negotiated had been reject ed by China New tbe Senate Is informed officially tbat the belief haa no foundation. Such action aa wa bave Just taken ought net te have been taken ; aud If It was pre posed te take such action In regard te a great nation, tbe bill would net have re ceived half a decsn voter. We all under stand the pressure en both aides lu the face of a great contest between the two political Sirliea. I concur with the senator from hle (Mr. Sherman), the leader en his side, tbat this matter Is above politics ; that It la above presidential elections and that it ought net tebepaiaed lu thla Indecent baste. '1 am delighted that the Senater from New Hampshire has made tbe motion te recon sider and baa given notlce of the amond amend ment which he proposes te offer. It only demonstrates tbat we have acted In great haste, and tbat the matter aheuld have been considered by a committee of this body In the light of the Information which Iha president baa given us. I hope the me. tien will prevail, and If It does I Khali again move te commit the bill. The oemmitiee can oeme here next week and present te us a measure tbst la fair and proper, tbat will net be vielative et our treaty obligations, and that will net put u In tbat position In Which the Chinese government will have tba moral right te exelnde and te be Justi fied lu tuu eyes of the world In excluding all of our people fmm that emplre. Leeking ahead, and gathering from the preaa the conditions between China and ether great pewers, the whole trade et tbat continent may be ready within six month te be transferred te us. If the signs of the tltms may be relied upon, this will be the opportunity of all ethers whleh we have iillif ht far Ihn lest fnrtv Ara In frnt tmana. alen el that trade. lv nnlvrimna- that whlnh i ia fair and right and manly. I de net be lieve either party ean gain any ad vantage by this unseemly and hasty aotlen en a great measure, whleh la above all politics. We are all united In restricting Chinese Jnimlaratlen. and 1 de net believe that In this contest tbera la any advantage en either side. 'If we go en In the face et the Informa tion received te-day showing that thla tieaty la still pending, we will have done that whleh haa never been dnua In the blatery of Ibis oeuntry, aud wbleh no ether elvlllZHd nation would think ofdelng. We will destroy our trade with China, umkn tt Impossible for this great nation et 00,000,. 000 people le bave an outlet In China fur Ita products and manufacturers and olese the deer which during years past we have tried by fleets aud special minlstera te have opened. We will be bringing bankruptcy en thla country, and wee te the party or the man who. for a temporary advantage in politics, will violate the great prloeiplea which ought te govern tbe aotlen of nations. It la a sad day for the oeuntrv. The aenater from Nevada (Mr. Stewart) engbt te restrain his Impatience. I knew tbat his people are harassed by the Chinese, bnt we have no right te strike such a blew at the entire nation." OUAIHMAN ItltlOR INIICKVIKWKU.

The great purpose of tbataaaembiage of the beats et tne Democracy," he said, "was te sbew tbst sit tbe local Democratle organizations are heartily in unison for Cleveland ana Thurman, no matter hew mueh they may differ ou ether subjects. This waa mere evldent when the list of vlee presi dents was read, containing 3 000 names rep resenting the leading men of Tammany Hall, tbe County Democracy, tbe Furrow Democraey, tbe united clubs and ether bodies one In the Democratic faith.
