It is generally held that the iron trade is the first to feel the approach of hard times and the first to boom with prosperity. The depression at present prevailing in the industry, however, can scarcely be the forerunner of general depression. The cotton crop of the south this year will reach 0,S00,()00 bales, and this means prosperity for the south. The floods in Europe will send up the juice of grain, and that means prosperity for the north. All other indications point to a prosperous year. The iron trade instead of experiencing the effects of general depression is realizing the evils of too much prosperity in its own line it provided for an excess of prosperity.

It is announced from "Washington that President pro tempore Davis of the senate, will, a day or two before the fourth af March, abdicate his position, leaving the senate to elect a senator whose term of ofllce does not expire with this congress. This will obviate any necessity there might be for a called session of the senate to provide for the contingency of President Arthur's death, which if occurring without there being a president pro tempore or vice president would leave the succession in a chaotic condition. The plan said to have been decided upon has several precedents. Senator Allison of Iowa is spoken of as the probable choice of the Republicans of the senate.

The reader of the daily newspaper is becoming averse to looking at the paper which ordinarily is one of the comforts and pleasures of life. Appalling accidents are on the increase and are too direful to become monotonous or to permit the reader to become callous. It is a daily tale of woe and suffering. This morning there is the story of a school horror in New York city, where fourteen children were killed in the mad rush that followed the discovery of a trivial tire in the building. Hundreds of pupils started to go down the stairs and in the frightful panic fell over the stairway like sheep follow the bellwether over a precipice. Eye witnesses describe the horrible scene and tell how the cries of the unfortunate ones at the bottom of the pile grew fainter and fainter as the life was pressed out of them by the accumulation of the bodies of their panicstricken school fellows.

Accounting for the Flood. Cincinnati Enquirer. The able editors who feel obliged to know every thing are trying to account for the floods. They tell, among other things, how in olden times the water would soak down among the roots and undergrowths, which absorbed part and retarded the flow of the rest but now, the timber and undergrowth being cleared away, it rushes incontinently into the creeks and rivers, and rips things up generally. The linal destination of the water which soaked down to the roots, ite., in former (lays is not satisfactorilv given. Possibly it reappears in the sugar trees as sap, and found its way into human stomachs in the shape of maple sugar and molasses. This is probably no further fetched than Shakespere's theory that the noble dust of Alexander might have been used as a stopper for the bung-hoie of a beer barrel. The various theories touching the vagaries of the waters are not consistent. The old citizens tell us that the small rivers of tins state, and even Duck Creek, were formerly extensiveIv navigated by flat-boats. At the beginning of the present century, or thereabouts, Duck ("reek, which is now remarkable for nothing but being the home of the late Private Dulzell, was an important artery of communication between the ancient city of Marietta and the interior settlements. The oldest inhabitants are not all armed with hatchets, but on the averatre they are tolerably veracious. Their testimony is that the streams, taking them the vear around, have not as much water In them as they had in the primeval times. The whole matter, reduced to its lowest terms, is that a freshet is a freshet. When there is more water than can be accommodated in the natural channels it breaks out, and the orizing is not profitable. The Indians, no doubt, saw tremendous rises in the Ohio, but they had not cities to suffer from inundation.

Paper Kails.

Paper, in days not long past, used to be a type of ilimsitiess of fabric and of inability .-•and wear and weather. When compressed paper began to be substituted for ood, stone and metals, it seemed to be a source of special pleasure for those.who employed it to

has

undertaken

this material to th«tufes forwhieh it had formerly seemed wholly unfitted. Paper rowboats were among the earliest of these new uses, and they have alreadv become too familiar to attract attention. Then came the desire for substituting paper where great wear or strain was endured in iron macienery and paper car wheels seemed the extreme in this direction. Yet now there is a movement to substitute paper rails for steel rails, as being very durable and less costly. Who shall say that paper may not one day give us drills and trip-hammers?

FAILED FOR A MILLION.

Suspension of J. V. Ayres & Song, Chicago Iron Merchant*—A Number of Other Companies Involved. Special t)Ispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.—Messrs. J. Ayers & Sons, a very prominent iron concern, failed here to-day. The firm refuses to make any statement, but its liabilities are figured by people conveisant with the concern's business, at $1,000,000. Its assets are not known. The failure is pronounced a bad one, and it is said that it will most likely involve a number of other concerns here and in Ohio. The liabilities are mostly to banks here and at Youngstown, O. It is surmised that the Brown, Bonnell & Company Rolling Mill Company, in which the Chicago concern is the largest stockholder is involved in the downfall. The latter corporation employs several thousand men and operates rolling mills, blast furnaces and coal mines in Ohio, near Cleveland. The suspension to-day was precipitated by the failure of the firm to meet $15,000 worth of paper held by the Union National bank of this city and it went to protest. As soon as the failure got abroad it had a marked influence on business circles. Among iron men it created consternation, and among the banks all was gloom. It is said on good authority that to-day, after the announcement of the failure,all the banks went carefully over the iron paper held by them. It is found that because of this alarm among the banks more papers may be precipitated next week. J. V. Ayer & Sons sold last year $3,800,000 worth of railroad and merchant iron and was probably the largest concern of this kind in the country. It sold to railroads, to large contractors, and to manufacturers. It is the relic of the very rich old concern of Hale, Ayers & Co., which was founded here in 1859. In 1875 the firm became J. Y. Ayers & Sons, and two years later, upon the death of the head of the concern, become J. Y. Ayers & Sons. With the trade the last concern lias not been considered conservative enough to be sound. It has been charged with beintr reckless, and the head of the firm has had the reputation of being a bold, if not a reckless speculator. Some years ago a quarrel arose between Ayers and Messrs. Hayes & Bonnell, his partners. A rival house was started here. Ayers gained the control of the mill in Youngstown and the opposition company finally left the field. All that the suspended firm has here is a warehouse at the corner of Taylor and Clark streets, and its office in the Portland block. Most of the iron it traded in was property it had bought. It had, however, some few commission accounts. It claims to have in stock $500,000 worth of iron. It is believed that this is pledgedjwith the Union National bank.

YOCXOSTOWX, O., Feb. 10.—TheNewsllegisterin speaking of the Ayers iron failure this afternoon says: Joseph Calwell, cashier of theCommercial National bank of Cleveland, came to the city Saturday afternoon and hud a mortgage filed in the recorder's office for. $500,000. The mortgage is dated April :»d, 1SS2, made by Brown, Bonnell & Co. to Dan P. Eells and John Hay, of Cleveland, as trustees to secure the payment of one hundred bonds of $500 each. It is signed by Herbert C. Ayers as president, and A. W. Jones as secretary of Brown, Bonnell & Co. The signature of Mr. Ayers was affixed in New York and certified to by S. B. Goodal. By the terms of the mortgage it covers all the property owned bv Brown, Bonnell & Co. in this city. iVIr. May, who is one of the trustees, in a son-in-law of Amasa Stone, of Cleveland. A further search of the records failed to reveal any other mortgage given by Brown, Bonnell ct Co. to any one. This indicates that Cleveland gentlemen of great wealth reallv own the larger part of the stock in the Brown, Bonnell & Co., and if this be true the wheels in the mills here will continue to revolve.

CI.EVKI.AXD, 0., Feb. 19.—Herbert Ayers, of Chicago, did not come to Cleveland, as was reported he would. No meeting of the directors of Brown, Bonnell it Co., of Youngstown, has been called. Amasa Stone, a heavy stockholder, said to-day that he can give no opinion as to whether their mill will shut down. Mr. Matthews, representing J. V. Ayers Sons, is here, but secluded. Mr. Griffin, receiver of the Union Iron and Steel Works, of Chicago, is here on business of that concern. The Republic Iron Lining Co. to-day attached Brown, Bonnell & Co's works at Youngstown, for $35,000.

CI.EVELAXD, February 20.—Fayette Brown, of Cleveland, this morning was appointed by the United States court receiver of Brown, Bonnell A: Co., of Youngstown. The iron works will continue to run as usual for the present at least. The company represents that it has a large quantity of stock and good contracts. The assets, it is claimed, will be largely in excess of liabilities. Herbert Ayer has not come and is not expected. No formal meeting of the directors has been called, but prominent stockholders will consult with the receiver.

Rumors in Chicago.

CIIU-ACO, Feb. 19.—A crop of rumors sprung up on 'change, and gained some currency in business and news circles. They were all directed towards shaking the confidence in the stability of values, and were for the most part stories of heavy failures. One failure was said to be that of a prominent iron firm, and another was in the wholesale grocery line. There was no truth whatever in the stories, and a general feeling of indignation prevails that they should be circulated, as they doubtless were, for the purpose of infl uenei ng speculation.

The I,:irlelc Rolling Mills Shut Down. M. Louis I'osl-lUspftU'h.

The Laclede rolling mills shut down at 1 o'clock this afternoon, to be closed for an indefinite period. The millsare situated on Main ami Ferrv streets, near the water works, and employ about tiOO men. Mr. Paul A. Fusz, the secretary of the Chouteau, Harrison it Valle Iron Company, which owns the works, said: "I do not know how long we will be closed. The men were on a strike until December. By that strike we lost contracts which were canceled on us. The money which we would have made on these contracts would have tided us over the present depression in trade. Owing to the discussion of the tariff and other matters, there is no market for our goods, so! we close, to openagain whenever trade revives. The men will be paid otT in full on Wednesday or Thursday."

CARET'S CONFESSION.

The Murder Conspirators the Victims of the Informers' Tale.

One of the Prisoners Strikes the Other While Leaving the Court Room.

IRELAND.

The Land League Under Suspicion— Informer Carey Testifies Further. LONDON, Feb. 19.—The government approved the calling out of the Irish militia this year for the usual training. It lias not been called out for several years past owing to the disturbed state of Ireland.

DUBLIN, Feb. 19.—John Dwyer, charged with conspiracy to murder government officials, is dying in the prison hospital.

LONDON, Feb. 19.—A correspondent of the Times at Dublin says there is little doubt that the authorities are able to establish the connection of the conspiracy with ribaldism as well as with Eenianism.. The Times says the suspicions raised by the evidence given by Carey on Saturday can only be allayed by the thorough disclosure of the accounts of the Land league, subject to independent audit. Until this is done the league will be under suspicion of maintaining secret relations with criminal conspiracies of the foulest type. The Times asks what is to be thought ef the ofler of Parneli to place the influence of Davitt, Egan, Sheridan and Boy ton at the disposal of the government for the restoration of order in Ireland, or of statesman ship which, in spite of the warnings of those best acquainted with Ireland, leaped at l'arnell's conditions for peace.

DI'DLIN, Feb. 1!).—Twenty-one of the prisoners have been committed for trial to answer the charge of murdering Lord Cavendish and Burke.

Joseph Smith lias turned informer. Patrick Whelan has been liberated on bail.

Dunlin, Feb. 1'J.—The hearing of the prisoners charged with conspiracy to murder government officials was resumed to-day. All the prisoners were again placed in the dock. Amid hisses one of the prisoners shouted: "The future Lord Mayor Carey." The latter shook his head menacingly at liis former comrades. His examination was then resumed. He spoke more confidently than he did Saturday, and replied to the cross examination of the counsel sharply and testily. He deposed amid hisses" by the prisoners, that he belonged to" the Fenians, but not to the supreme council. The object of the Fenians was to separate Ireland from England, the former country being then harrassed by coercion. Ilai no idea Lord Cavendish was to be* murdered when Burke was attacked. He was stupified when he heard of the famous murder. Cross ^examined Carey said he gave information regard ing the murder two days ago. He was a lost person to do so. Said he had decided to give evidence directly after he was arrested, though didn't do so until Thursday. Cary re-examined by Murphy, crown councils said that after the publication of Khe article in tho Freeman's JOUriml, Mntiug that all officials were to be removed lrom the Castle, the murder of 'Burke was decided upon.

LONDON, Feb. 10.—'The press association says there is reason to believe there is no doubt whatever concerning the name and identity of the man referred to by James Carey in the testimonyjSaturday as "Number one."' It is believed lie is concealed in London, where he arrived within the last forty-eight hours.

DL-ISLIN, Feb. 10.—In the event of the inquiry concluding to-day, it is understood the prisoners will be returned for trial before a special commission of three judges. This course will be necessary, as the prisoners each have the right to challenge twenty jurymen could exhaust the panel. Special arrangements are already being made at the Green street court house for the trial.

Carey slated that he did not see George" Smith in Plm-nix park oil the 5th or 0th of May. The person who pointed out Burke was Joe Smith. When Carey's deposition was read he corrected it in several particulars, and modified the statement concerning Mrs. Byrne by saying that he had only been told she was the wife of Frank Byrne. He also corrected the statement that James Mullettwas in his company when he and Curley met "No. 1." Counsel for the prisoners objected to the alterations, saying that Carey has discovered from the newspapers that Mullett was in prison at the time of the alleged meeting. The magistrate allowed the objection, and the deposition was ordered to stand so as to show the discrepencv.

The marines are guarding the house of Mrs. Carey, wife of James Carey. It is believed when she saw- her husband's case hopeless she told the authorities of the evidence he was able to give. It is known she afterwards visited the castle Dublin.

The prisoners committed for trial include all that were tinder examination except Whelan.

The public present in court to-day joined in hissing Carey. The only remarkable feature so far has been the calousness of Carey while under examination.

After the reading of Carey's deposition, a man named Neil deposed to his seeing a cab in the park on the day of the murder, and he identified Fitzharris as the driver. A laborer named Murray gave similar evidence. The four occupants of the car used by the assassins were then placed in front of the dock for identification by Godden, the park ranger.

As Carey passed the docks, James Mullett struck at him, and succeeded in touching his head. Carey turned to expostulate, but was pushed to the witness table by detectives. After the prisoners had been committed, the crown's counsel stated that Joseph Smith would be examined at the trial.

The article in the Freeman's Journal referred to by Carey in his testimony to-day spoke of the desirability of a thorough change of officials at the Castle, winch was an Augean stable.

Carey left the court at the door farthest from the dock. Godden identified Thomas Callercy as the fourth man on the car containing the murderers when it was driven from the park.

Carey produced a copy of the Freeman's Journal to confirm the statement in regard to the determination of the conspirators to murder Burke. His action created a sensation.

It is expected the prisoners will be tried in March. Murphy stated he hoped to be able to produce the man known as "Number 1." The prisoners were remanded for formal committal to-morrow. Murphy, crown counsel, after the committal of the prisoners. said it was with great reluctance that the crown had accepted the evidence of the prisoners who might have 1 been the directors and instignators of

the tragedy. It had been done, how ever, in the interest of public safety and the public good. He trusted the executive had thereby obtained power to perfectly penetrate this fearful organization, and hoped to make amendable to justice the plotters as well as the perpetrators of the murder.

LONDON, Feb. 19.—It is expected an adjournment of the house of commons will be moved to-night in order to discuss Irish conspiracy in connection with the Kilmainham treaty.

Itis stated that Frank Byrne,the man who, according to Jas. Carey's testimony in Dublin, Satuiday, sent arms from London for the murder of officials, has been the home-rule organizer in London for nine years.

LONDON, Feb. 19.—In the house of commons this afternoon Sir Herbert Maxwell, Conservative, asked whether P. J. Sherdon, alluded to by Carey in his testimony Saturday, was the man who was connected with the Kilmainham treaty negotiations. Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, answered "yes."

Lord Randolph Churchill gave notice on behalf of the government that in view of the confessions of the assassins in Ireland he would move an amendment in to the address in answer to the speech from the throne, and no further concessions will be made to the lawless agitation.

LONDON, Feb. 20.—The police are convinced that the man known as "Humburt" is Gen. McAdaras, who was in London Saturday. Mrs. Byrne arrived in Dublin and was examined at the castle this morning. She" will be charged in the police court this afternoon with being concerned in the treasonable conspiracy. It is reported that Mrs. Byrne made a full confession of all she knows concerning the work of the assassins. General arrests are expected.

DUBLIN, Feb. 20.—James Mullett, one of the conspiracy prisoners, was allowed to receive two letters and sign a check.

A man named Quinham, and two named Mahoney, all ex-suspects belonging to Castle Island, were arrested, charged with being members of the "Invincibles." The wives and mothers of the prisoners were admitted to the gallery of the court to-day and warmly greeted the prisoners.

LONDON, Feb. 20.—In the house of commons this afternoon, Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, was again questioned about Sheridon but declined to give any further information regarding him than that he gave yesterday. lie referred the question to Parneli. Sir Win. Harcourt, home secretary, declined to answer a question by Jackson as to the prospect of arresting Brennan, Sir William Harcourt earnestly denied that there was any communication between the government and "suspects" in Kilmain ham jail except though Forster.

DUBLIN, Feb. 20.—Carey failed to identify Mrs Byrne and she was discharged.

GOUGAK-MANDLiEll.

Testimony for the Plaintiff Going to Establish a Conspiracy. Special Dispatch to Indianapolis News.

LAFAYETTE, February 20.—Yesterday afternoon Alexander Rice was on the stand in the Gougar-Mandler case. He testified to being present when Wallace had his interview with Handler, Novembor 2-1, and that at this meeting

Mandlnr

stated that ho had

no personal knowledge concerning the alleged meeting of Wallace and Mrs. Gougar, on November 19 that all he knew about it was what he had been told by another, and this in confidence that although pressed to reveal the name of his informant before Rice, Handler refused to do so, and that witness then left the room, leaving Wallace and Handler closed together, and that Handler afterward said to him, "Well, I haven't told anything to Captain Wallace but what I said in your presence, and if anyone says anything to me about thisj I will tell them that have seen nothing or heard nothing that it is all a lie." Rice's examination was not concluded when court adjourned.

In the Gougar slander suit, this morning, A. A. Rice was cross-exam-ined. He testified that while he was in partnership with Wallace, Mrs. Gougar often called at the office, but only matters relating to the Parlor club and Blue Ribbon club, of which both are active members, were discussed. Mrs. Gougar always rapped at the door when she came to the office. Witness could remember only one occasion on which Mrs. Wallace called with her husband at G-ongar's house. Witness was under severe cross-examination all the morning.

Samuel Davidson, a well known cooper and reputable citizen, was the next witness. He testified that last fall, a few days before election, he was in the stairway of Wallace's office, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, when Poock and Handler came along. Foock said to Handler, "We must hnrry up thin job on Mrs. Gougar and Captain Yi'allai.e, or I'll be damned if he, don't get elected, as he is going to run like hell in the conn try, and a good many Knights of Labor are going to vote for him. Has Dr. Burke reported yet?"

Handler answered: "No damn Burke. He is too slow. 1 must go and see him."

There was a formal ratification of the lease. Dr. Green said to a reporter: "The rumor circulated that we failed to carry the lease into effect is without foundation. In fact, 1 say positively we have now fully accomplished a bargain with the Mutual Union, and there is no legal proceeding that can render the lease null and void."

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—In the court of chancery, to-day, Judge Blodgett granted the application of the Western Union telegraph company against the incorporators of the new Western Union telegraph company of Illinois, restraining the new company from taking any steps under its charter until the courts pass on its legality.
