J. Barnic.k, Superintendent PUDDLING BASIS $3.75 PER TON For some days past the air has been full of rumors of wage reductions,esp ecially as relates to the Montour mills of this city, owned and operated by the Reading Iron company. Iu order to determine to what extent this plant might be affected by any contemplat ed wage reduction an interview was had with General Manager H. L. Hecht at his office Monday. A reduction has been decided upon, which will affect the Montour mills in this city along with other plants owned by the Reading Iron company. Full particulars will be found iu a statement authorized by F. O. Smink, president of the Reading Iron com pany, when interviewed regarding the effect of the preseut condition of the iron and steel business upon wages. Mr. Smlnk says: •The aggressive war of competition recently inaugurated has resulted iu a most drastic decline in the priecs of the various products manufactured by this company. Its largest product is that of wrought iron pipe and tubular goodß, the price of which has dropped 110.00 to 111.00 per ton from the price ruling up to last month. Its other pro ducts have been affected to a some what lesser extent. The company is making every effort possible to meet this competition and to keep its works in operation, aud to this end every economic measure will be put into ef fect. A revision and readjustment of its wage schedules (necessarily involv ing a reduction in all its departments) is now imperative and cau no longer be avoided. The management have, therefore, most reluctautly decided that new wage lists be prepared and put into effect the latter end of this month." Iu respect to wages, he further stat ed that the policy of the company lias always been a cousisteut and liberal one. It lias steadfastly refrained from making any reductions uutil all other means of decreasing costs of produc tion. in order to meet cuirent market prices have beeu exhausted audit lias never deuied au increase when the market for any of its products justifi ed such increase. The reduction now contemplated will vary in the differeut departmfcts from 10 to l."> per cent. The puddling hash will be at the rate off 3 75 per ton. WHEN HER BACK ACHES.

The I train carrying the provisional regi i rneut arrived at Suubury witli cheer ing soldiers at every window at 8:10 | o'clock,three hours overdue from long delays at Harrisburg and other poiuts. The members of Company F arrived l at South Danville later oil a special i i train carryiug the 9th regiment of I Wilkes Barre. The trip was the most notable oue i for hardships endured that the militia has ever made to Washington. Be gading it one of the guardsmen said : ; With faces full of bright anticipa tion the 762 members of the provision al regiment, Third brigade, N. G. P., left Sunbury afier assembling there making the districts represented in j elude the commands about Wilkes 1 Barre anil the Thirteenth of Scrauton. The entire regiment was under the I command of Col. G. M. Clement, of | Suubury,aud left there but a half hour after schedule time. The arrival at the massively heanti i fill Union statiou at Washington took place at 4 :25 and Jupiter Pluvius did his best to discourage the guardsmen I and they filed their way out through ! the gates into a blinding, drenching rain storm, after which a march of oue half hour's duration brought the boys in blue to tiieir destination, the old District building on Judiciary ; square. The building boused 8600 men ! of the provisional brigade nuder . en eral O. Bow Dougherty, and was pro vided with elevators aud steam heat throughout thus ensuring against chills i and dampness after exposure to the elements. Dnring the night the rain . turued to snow and in the morning a i beautiful picture of Washington in i he grasp of winter was presented. The regiment moved for parade promptly at 11 :45 and marched to a waiting place in the rear of the cap itol, where the boys remained for | about three hoars. They stood where the exposure was most harmful, their damp feet resting in the slush and j snow. Everybody was good iiatured, | however, and kept moving about to I keep warm. At last the bugle souuded and the , regiment moved into proper place aud on paßt the capitol through six incites of water and slush, so that it really amounted to a foot nth instead of a march. Down Pennsylvania avenue the paving was dry and all the damp t feet were soon iu comparative com fort The colonel dismissed the regiment as soon after passing the president as \it was possible to do so. Then the j boys got back to their quarters speed ily to change stockings aud dry tiieir i shoes. Envy of Her Neighbors.

IT DEPENDS ON THE CROPS Aocording to leading financiers. the return to prosperity,to better business conditions will depend more largeh upon the outlook of the crops this spring, than any other one thing. If tin 1 season is favorable, if grain and giass has wintered well,if seeding oan be done uuder favorablo circumst auces, and a good growth started, we will stte business revive rapidlv. Un der present conditions, with the out look of poor crops,there would be such a discouraging outlook that capital would become timid, for after all this natiou depends more upou agriculture i than any other industry far its wealth. Hut this is a great nation, its cli mate and eoil so varied and area so i great, that if crops or ot>o of the laad iug cereal crops fails in one section, wo may be assured of good crops in another. In .some sections of the wheat belt, ' there has not been snow or moisture sufficient to protect and c»nse growth, j while in the main, reports from the j west show winter wheat is indue con- j dition. having wintered well,and as a ' whole in better shape than for many I year a. Nebraska's wheat has beeu well cov- I ered by mow, and alternate thaws and | freezes did no harm. The uext mat j ter of interest will lj« ploughing and' sowing the spring grain, and the in- ! dications favor a big wren devoted to the purpose. With wheat ranging far above the dollar uiark, the conditions, t eveu if produced by speculative mani pulation, hold out many inducements to farmers. The world, including the United States, is consuming more .vheat than ever before and grain growers have reasonable certainty of ! disposing of their crops at reuiunera- I tite figures.

PREPARING JOB VISITORS' Danville during the next three months or so will bo the scene of three important events, which will be re membered for mauy years—the Odd Fellows' anniversary, the unveiling of the soldiers' monnmeut aud Six-Oouu ty Firemen's convention. In raising the money needed for en tertainment, &c., there is hardly auy doubt but that the townspeople in each ease, will be fouud to contribute gen- j erously. This suggests that the bor- < ongh has a duty to perform in the pre mises. Whether the municipality shall benefit from either of the events will depend upon whether or not the j strangers attracted here shall carry ' away with them favorable impressions i of the town. Obviously a few things I are needed to give our town a spick ! and spau appearance such as strangers j i liave a right to expect of a municipal- * ity where the proper degree of oivio j pride exists. The painting of the liobb houses of ! the borough last fall was a step in the ] right direction, aud uow t he Odd Fel- j j lows are urging that big city hall be ' painted on the outside. The entire third floor of this building, which is ! rented by the Odil Fellows, is being painted aud papered by the borough, t but the members of the order urge that the interior when reuovated will con- | trast unpleasantly with the dull, weather beaten walls of the exterior, which are so conspicuous. A coat of I paint would accomplish wouilers and i | the cost would not be heavy. It was learned yesterday that the I water works will probably be painted ! early in the spriug. Both the Odd Fellows and the fire ; men contemplate the erection of sev ; eral magnificent arches to be illnmin j ated with vari colored lights. As the j borough owns its own light plant it | will he asked to donate the light for j the archeg, which will prove great at ; tractions on both occasions.

It was about eleven o'clock whea the sheriff, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Gribbeu and Attorney Mo iDevitt, who represented the prisoner in the trial and in all the subsequent procedures, entered the cell of th« doomed man. STANEY WAS CHEERFUL. Staney was quite cheerful although ! he fully comprehended the full sign ificauce of the warraut. He spoke of , : the weather aud of his life in jail. He 1 said that he expected the warraut at I about this time. He had heard that it I iiad been issued and felt that if the news were trne the warraut would ar- I rive no later thau Tuesday. i John R. Oeise.of Suubury, and VVil | liam Nesbit, of Northumberland, will be with the prisoner from now onto the day of the execution. They will ' take turns in guarding him from pos sible attempts to escape or to tnke his ' own life. | Maroavitch will haug in the North i umberlaud couuty jail yard on Tuurs day, March 25, between the hours of |lO in the morniug and three in the | afternoon.

' The preparation for the execution 1 must be completed by the sheriff with in two weeks which is a very short time. He will have full authority in the issuance of permits to tlie jail i yard. and l as had many applications ] from morbidly curious persons who i are in no wise connected with the case, or actuated froui any other mo tive than that of mere curiosity. INDOMITABLE SPIRIT. The young murderer, who seems a mere youth, although slight in build seems indomitable in spirit. He has apparantly settled with himself as to what liis conduct shall be. Although he still maintains that "Pimple Face" Joe Kochefskie now a prisoner in th« Northumberland county jail was the real murderer, yet he refuses to give any evidence which may lead to the other's conviction. Kochefskie will I still be in jail when Marcavitch is ei cuted. If lie is really guilty of the crime his state of miud on that clay will be an unenviable one.
