4 special meeting of the Board of
Fgeeholders was held on Friday last
all the members, except MI. Horner,
from Oldmans, being present. The OBJ.
jeet of the meeting was to consider
the question of advancing more money
to the contractor of the iron bridge.
Mr. Welty voluntarily presented vouch-
ers showing that he had already paid
tue amount OF S12,SO0 on account of
bridge. 1t was finally decided to pay
contractor $3971 so on account. All
the difference between the Freeholders
and contractor were amiable adjusted,
and the work will now be pushed ahead
as rapidly as the weather will permit.

til Wednesday WHEN his body arrived
on the noon train from Philadelphia.

a plank Mr.. Denny fell headforeRost
through the iron bridge, the distance
of about IS feet, to the ice below. In

which fractured his scull and he lay in
an unconscious state for two hours,
when he died. His funeral took place
on Friday.

tue bridge before the break upof winter.
The bridge was finished all but laying

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

In another column Of to-day's ADvo-
CATE will be found tho proceedings of
the DemocraticCounty Convention, from
which IL will be seen that the gentlemen
sent TO represent the several districts of
the county, concluded TO renoninate for
a third term in the Prothonotary's Of
fec Mr.. Geo. W. Esser, gentleman
who has for two successive terms filled
the position to the entire satisfaction of
the people-not only Democrats but
Republicans. Some slight objections
were offered against the denomination
of Mr.. Esser, on account Of the third
term policy, but that, since the nomina-
tion, appears TO have blown away, and
Democrats will no doubt give him the
usual compliment Of votes when they 60
to the polls on the 3rd day of November
next, remembering only that Mr. Esser
is an. earnest, hard-working Democrat
and deserves success.
The nominee for Sheriff, Harvey B.
Smith, is a young man resident In
Weatherly, and for the past few years
publisher Of the Herald. BE was ably
supported by the delegation from that
place; hencer we must infer that he is
deserving and fully competent for the
position.
Nathan Stemler, of Stemlersville, will
make a capital Jury Commissioner, as
will DR.. J. A. Horn, of Mauch Chunk,
fill the Office of Coroner to the people s
satisfaction.

EXPORTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.


The volume and value of the exports
from the United States to all foreign
countries for the current year varies
little from that of a similar period dur
ing 1884. The exports of cotton for the
twelve months ending August 81,
announced to 3,CG3,510 bales, worth
Sl9S, +94, 1870, as against !, 3,SS6.2SO bales,
with an aggregate value of $1G7, 749, GA,
for similar period ending August 81 4,
1854.
The cX orts of brcadstuffs, mineral
oils and provisions are made up by the
Bureau OF olStatistics for the eight months
Of the current year ending August 81
In the matter of brealstulTs there has
been decline of between three and four
millions during the present year, the
exports for the first eight months reach
ing only sos, 3,2G8,9 1888, as against S97.-
O65,l7 for the same period in 1884.
The exports Of domestic cattle and hogs,
beef, pork and dairy products for the
eight months OF the present year amount
to SC4,2l7,5l6, as against S62, ,047.2
during 1884. The exports of petroleum
and other mineral oils so far for this
year amount to 303,G93, ,O01 gallons, with
q value of S3l ,70l ,15S. For the same
period in 1854 the amount was 325, ,Q7S,
467 gallons, worth $3O,4l4,532. The
total exports Of the staples above named
fall less than half million short Of the
exports Of the same staples for the same
periol in 1884. What is lost on the
breadstufr account is nearly made up by
the increase in o.her exports.
The showing, says the Thll lel2hla
Times, that will be mos: gratifying to
Pennsylyanlans in the export statistics
for the present year is that which inIl-
Gates that the petroleum exports are on
the increase, in spite Of the great in
crease in the production of Russian oil.
and Philadelphians will be glad TO note
that the petroleum exports from thclr
city have nearly doubled during the
present year, although they still fall
lI.nen,ably short Of wha. they shoul s.!
/ be.

THE condition Of general trade, as re-
ported to Bradstreets is quite as favor
able as that mentioned at any previous
date within seven weeks past. The
steadiness and strength manifested by
the demand for dry goods and wooen
fabrics have encouraged many dealers
a. eastern distributing centers. Far
iron is IN much bet cr request, anl the
iron trade as whole feels the influence.
There has been no special change in the
wool market. Boots ana shoes are in
much better request, but prices are low.
Anthracite coal and wheat and Indian
corn AMI dour are all suffering from ex-
tremely depressed prices and a slack de-
m1nl. The prices of the leading cereals
continue low from causes now well
known. Provisions AMI hog products
are dull and steady. The farmers at
the northwest are refusing to market
their grain at existing rates, AMI in
many instances are preparing to hold il
until quotations offered are much nigh
or, Petroleum is only moderately active
ana is depressed. Grocery staples con-
tinoe to move slowly, sugar alone being
active AMI higher. Dairy products are
in slow demanl. There were Is IA lure.
