THE BRIDGE COLLAPSED.
Peculiar Accident by Which Mrs.
Rennie Lost Her Life.

New Brunswick, N j.. May .. Mrs. Mar
garet Rennie, thirty-two years of age,
widow today met her death by a very
peculiar accident. She lived with her
father, Patrick Rodgers, at the top OF a
etCcp hill about one mile from Bonhamton.
At the foot of the hill there is creek
probably fifteen feet wide and hardly
foot in depth 1t is known as Mill Creek.
Over this creek there had been for forty
years bridge. with single brick span
Recently the boardof freeholders Of Middle
sex county voted to widen the bridge ty
building another span beside the OLD one.
Both spans constituted practically a single
brick arcn of a height at least ten feet
above the bed Of the stream, on Friday
the work was completed, the false arches
taken out and the bridge thrown open to
travel.
After dinner today, Mrs Rennie called
TO see her sister, Mrs. Mathilda Martin.
The two started out for walk They
stopped at the bridge, and stood for
little while on the new portion. They had
just turned to walk off the bridge, Mrs.
Martin happening to be in the lead, W hen
they felt a trembling motion ben cath them.
Mrs. Martin, with cry of terror, jumped
to the roadway. She looked around for
her sister, but the latter was not to be
seen. The bridge had sunk, and Mrs.
Rennie was completely buried In the ruins
Mrs. Martin ran for help, and three men
soon arrived, and, after twenty minutes
of digging, found Mrs Rennie's body. The
debris had damned the creek and forced
tie water to rise untlit completely covered
al the ruins OF the bridge
Dr. Long, the county physician, n.ede
an autopsy. and found that death had
been due to drowning There as Slight
abrasion over the right eye, but other
wise there were no marks of injuries on
the body. The heavy rain last night
no doubt 1oosened the masonry and caused

When Long passed in front Of the engine
he caught the child in his arms The
momentum OF the bicycle was so great
that Long could not manage 1T, and it
dashed into a gutter-Lopg, child, and

ran off home.

Bradstreet's Review

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
General trade retains most of the fea-
lures of a week ago, with a continued
check to the movement of staple mer-
chandise. At larger eastern and central
western centers sales of seasonable goods
have not equaled expectations, and az
none of these points has the volume of
business increased. At Chicago, st. Louis,
Baltimore, New York and Providence there
has been a decrease in the volume of busi-
ness in some lines. due in part to the unsea-
sonable weather and in some instances to
the continued quarantine of yellow fever
districts. Some jobbers who supply south
ern merchants have delayed sending out
travellers and others have called travellers
home. Mercantile collections are slower
flling-in orders are small and more infre-
quent and business in staple lines for the
latter half of October aside from that in
wool and metals, has been somewhat dis
appointing. The northwest continues to
make relatively more favorable reports as
to trade. although at Milwaukee and Min
neapolis mild weather has checked dstri-
button. Nearly all southern cities, except
few in Texas, Arkansas and Georgia,
continue to feel the influence of the yellow
fever quarantine, the extremely low price

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-There was a little
hesitation in wheat, on account of the
weakness at Paris, as shown by the early
cables. Wheat was quoted at 10 centimes
lower and flour at 20M25 centimes lower.
Outside of that the news was all in favor
of higher prices. The result was THAT De-
cember, which left off yesterday at 971i,
started today at from 97is@973s, and was
advanced to 9S1a in the first hours trading.
Liverpool was Id higher to begin with, and
advanced lad more during the day, the lat
ter rise, doubtless, because of the addi-
tional rise here this forenoon. The weather
throughout the winter wheat country was
still suffering from drought, and reports
were unanimous as to the effects of dry
weather. Domestic receipts at Chicago
and in the northwest were again much
heavier. New York reported liberal ac-
ceptance of cable offers made to the con-
tinent alst night, and 100000 bushels were
reported having been bought for ship
ment to France early in the session. Clear
ances from the Atlantic ports. Including
some flour from New Orleans, amounted to
