ITS EFFECT ON THE IRON INDUS- Niw York, June a—The body of Matthew Norwood, colored, 98 years old, was found early yesterday In a pool of blood in the alley adjoining the tenement houses at Nos. 224 and 238 West Thirtieth street Coronet* AN EXTRA GUARD PLACED OVER Jackson, Miss., June 2.—The jail where William Steele, the murderer of Nelson Potter, was confined is situated in tho center of the city, and has been tho scene of unusual commotion for the past few days, occasioned by the religions exercises for the benefit of the doomed man. Large crowds of negroes collected in the neighborhood and joined in hymns and shouting. Up to a few day* ago Steele showed no signs of conversion and rather ridiculed the idea. At last he yielded, and was baptised last Sunday in the large wooden trough in the jail yard. All the preparations were completed, and promptly at 12s05 yesterday the prisoner walked to the gallows, accompanied by four negro preachers. After prayers and a hymn the prisoner spoke for twenty minutes, protesting his innocence. The trap was sprung at 12:34 and the body hung for fifteen minutes, when it was cut down. Steele showed no fear of death. The jail-yard is a small area enclosed by a high wooden fence. About twenty-five persons were admitted within the enclosure. The trees and housetops in the vicinity were crowded with people, mostly negroes.  BRITISH OFFICIALS.

House. Lokdon, June 2.—The recall from St. Petersburg to London of Col. Sir West Ridgway, chief of the British Afghan commission, is understood to have been decided upon for the purpose of receiving from him personally an explanation of the extraordinary activity of Russian troops in Asia, to which the government's attention has been called. For some time past the government has been advised through its agents that Russian military movements on a large sjale and of extraordinary frequency were being executed in the disputed portions as well as tho already delimitated parts of the territory forming the boundary of Afghanistan, but none of tho informants has been able to give information in detail. It is given out that CoL Ridgway will return to St Petersburg after reporting in person to Lord Salisbury, but knowing ones allege that he will proceed to Afghanistan via India instead. Chicago, Jane 2.—Half a million men will be thrown out of work within the coming month unless tho Conneilsville ooke strike 1s speedily sottled, and there seems to be little prospect of a settlement of the trouble. No coke is bolnj produced at present in the Pennsylvania coke regions, and without a supply of this fuel every blast furnace in *he United States, with the exception of the few run by natural gas, wiH bo forced to shut down or bank their fires for an indefinite period. Lebanon, Pa., June 2.—The rickety looking jail here was doubly guarded last night. All day mutfcerings of vengeance were heard on all sides throughout the Lebanon valley. The demand soems to be general that William Showers, aged 00, now iii a cell for the murder of his two little grandsons, at Annvllle, should be taken out and lynched. Tuesday night, the neighbors say, Virginia gave a reception, to which Norwood was not inviteJ; but about midnight he appeared and there was a quarrel In the room, followed by a shriek and a fall. This, however, was of such common occurrence that no notice was taken of it. The young woman and a mulatto, who described himself as Charles C. Johnson, wore arrested. Johnson said he was a medical student at Howard university, in Washington. He said he knew nothing of the murder. Norwood was his brother-inlaw.Cincinnati, June 3.—At La tenia.

The authorities fear that swift and terrible mishmont may be meted out to tho aged fiend. Even the woman, Miss Sargeant, whom ho hoped to marry after the little ones were out of the way, says she would bo willing to be one of a party to tako him out of jail and tear him to pieces for what he has done. She says she saw the old man after the boys had disappeared, and positively refused to keep house for hlnj until ho had made clear what had become of the little ones. She also declares that she had all along refused to live with the old widower unless he would put the boys into an orphans' home to be educated. She also denies the story that Showers was to marry her or that her wedding dress had been purchased.The blow has already struck Chicago. The lrst concern to feol It was the Union Steel xrthpany, which has banked its flree, throwng ont of work 400 men. Having: a good upply of iron, the rail mills are still runling, but as soon as the pig on hand is exlausted they will close also, and 1,100 more nen will be added to the idlo list. The Zalumet Steel company is the only proiliiimt iron manufacturing company in the rfty that will not be seriously affected. This company omploys only about 100 men in the blast furnace works, and these will bo the only men to be laid off for a while, as the mills will be run with pig iron and do not depend on the blast furnace metal for their material. The Joliet Steel oompany is fortunate In having a stock of coke on hand, and is therefore in a position to run for a while longer. It is only a question of time, however, should the strike continue, when this company will close also and its thousands of employes bo thrown out of work. The worst blow of all to the iron industry Of Chicago is the fact that the North Chicago Rolling Mill company will close its works in a week, throwing 5,000 men out of work and leaving their families without income. "It looki like a very serious affair just now," said Mr. J. C. Parka, general manager of the company. "There is nothing to be done. We cannot run without coke, and we cannot get coke, so we must shut down. We are very sorry to do it. Our relations with our men have been pleasant, business has been very good, and the stoppage of an immense enterprise like ours means an immenso loss. Wa are only in the same fix, though, that all iron works are that depend on blast furnace metal to run. Those places that can run on pig iron may not have to close for a while, but the outlook just now is anything but cheerful The Virginia coke is not good enough and there is not enough of it to rut. our works." Morgan's Cash ices! NO WHISKY AFTER HOURS. THE FRENCH MINISTRY Connecticut Uw Compel* Saloons to The Jteeition of the ameer has become very serious. The rebellion against his authority is growing rapidly, and the recent reverses sustained by his forces in their conflicts with the insurgents have made it apparent -to the hbme government, and the Indian government as well, that the time haa arrived when the protection of British interests in Afghanistan demands the prompt and effective military interference of English troops. In this view the fortifications of Herat and Candahar are being strengthened by English engineers, and preparations are making to occupy both of these strongholds as soon as English troops can bo pushed forward.

Clemenceau Awaiting His Opportun- Niw Havbn, June 2,—Under a new liquor law passed by the last legislature the saloons In this city were o/derod to close up at 11 o'clock, beginning last night. Some of the liquor dealers claim that the licenses which have been granted them, and whioh specify 12 o'clock as the closing hour, are contracts between themselves and the state which cannot be abrogated by any statute law, and »me of them refused to close up. All the big saloons in the center of the city, however, closed their doors. There is a provision of the new law which allows the court of common council to grant the privilege of keeping open until midnight, and such provision will probably be granted at the next meeting of the local council. Close at 11. Paris, June 2.—There having been no nation of the chamber of deputies, yesterday, the new ministry breathed free and could predict for thomselves a tenure of office extending over a further period of twenty-four hours. They are not to lie upon a bed of roses during the noxt throe days, however, and it would surprise nobody to see M. Rouvier place Uieir resignations in the hands of President Grovy before Saturday. M. Clemenceau is awaiting an opportunity to strangle the life out of tho new government, and it is conceded on all siJes that he will not have to wait iong. If the cabinet diyw' not fall to pieces through lack of self confidence, it will certainly come to grief on the budget or the question of the compulsory military servico of Semarists. lty—Ilochefort's Denunciation.

An attempt was made by tho Canadian mounted police to capture bearers of dispatches from Dumont to the half breeds. One or two policemen were killed in the scrimmage and the couriers escaped.

It is understood that the rebel chief has promised the half breeds the assistance of the Grqpventres (American Indians) in contemplating an uprising. The half breeds have refused to aocept seed grain from the Dominion government Serious trouble is certainly brewing. 12c por lb A PATERSON TRAGEDY. London, June 2.—Since the result of the.
