Victims of Their Own Terror

CHICAGO, June 1.-two victims Of
their own terror met a fearful death this
afternoon in full view OF the hundreds
Of promenaders in the Lake Front park.
Otto and Herman Berl, aged II aud Is,
were the two unfortunates. They had
left the park and were crossing the net
work Of railway tracks ssirting the edge
OF Lake Michigan when an inbound pas.
sengcr train coming at heudlong speed
attracted the attention OF each of the
lads. Both boys hesitated as to whether
they should turn back or continue on
their way. The longer they waited the
more undecided they became. The en-
gineer recognizing the boys peril blew
his whistle terrific blast. This, instead
OF warning the two brothers, seemed to
only add to their fright, and each stood
to all appearances literally unable to
move. The train struck and killed them
instantly. Herman's body was smashed
TO Il pulp and ascended high in the air,
while Otto's was ground under the

interests Of this district. including

Tho association is styled the New Jersey

Of applying Mr.. Edison's newly invent.
ed magnetic ore-separating process to
the concentration and reduction OF the
ores Of the region indicated. The place
selected by tho company for beginning
operations is at the old Ogden iron
mines, about two miles south OF Ogden.
burg station, on the Susquehanna and
Western railroad.
These mines were opened as early as
1112 and were long worked proftably,
producing a magnetic ore Of superior
quality. In course Of time the ore dc.
:eriorated in quality to the degree that
the work OF mining and smelling it by
the ordinary processes in vogue was no
iopger profitable, and operations were
discontinued in 1872. The principal
vein of ore at theso mines extends over
two miles in length, and is practically
inexhaustibie. The Edison Conceutrat.
ing Company bought the mines last fall.
The works are equipped With elaborate
and costly machinery.

about $3.50 o'clock. He struck the water
near the shore, and tho people on the
bridge made rush for tho place.
Nearly all Of them were massed on n
iiity.lve.foot span adjoining the
bluff. The structure fell with crash,
going down in the middle. The foot
paths under the bridge were crowded
with people, and upon these the timbers
fell, while those on the buildings were
thrown in heap in the center OF the
span where it struck tho ground. At
least twenty-five persons were injured
more or less seriously, but only eight

THE IRON MARKET,
Higher Prices Looked for by Some Fur
mace Men.

Higher Prices Looked for by Some Fur.
mace Men.
In its report Of the iron market the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette OF Satur-
day says: s,-.. ...
There has been fair degree OF activity
during the week under review, and,
while the expectations OF the more san
guine are not being realized, We can re.
port very fair volume OF business; and
on forge and Bessemer irons further
advance has been established. Val
ley furnacemen generally are refus.
ing to sell at prices ob.ainable in this
market; one OF our brokers representing
valley furnaces has 10000 tons Of Resse-
mer to sell, but his principals are from
50c to 81 per ton above our market, and
the same is true OF good many OF these
valley furnaces in regard to forge irons !;
they are holding their iron above the
market here and consequently are
eirecting but few sales. Buyers
may come to the ideas Of these valley
iurnacemeu later on, but ut present
they are able to supply themselves from
other sources for less money; the former
may be selling considerable to 90 west
OF there and to the Wheeling district,
but they have been for the reason noted
doing little business here Of late. In re.
gard to the near Of the market there is q
difference ofopinion. Some well.iniorm.
cd iurnacemen and brokers look for still
higher prices, while others aver that il
they were inclined to speculate they
would rather sell than buy at present
prices. About the only weak spot to be
noted at present is the increase OF stock
in first hands, an accumulation OF ovel
$4,000 tons being reported for last
month west ot the Alleghen,
mountains. Production in the
district never was as large, it Is asserted
as it is at present. One firm here II
credited with turning out $1,000 ton
per month. II the above statement II
correct, and SO far as We can learn it il
not disputed, production .is in excess o
consumption; and in this most import
ant respect those bearishly incline,
have the best oft. g.
