KILLED BY STROKE
 OF LIGHTNING  Eddie Martin, 12 Years Old, Son
 of a Merchant.
RESIDED AT IDA STATION
Lad Was Standing in Front Door of His Fathers Place of Business-Young Man Standing Near Was
 Rendered Unconscious

Eddie Martin, the 12-year-old son of John Martin, merchant at Ida Station, Pratt City, was struck by lightning and instantly killed while standing in the front door of his fathers store during the severe electri- cal storm which passed over this section yesterday afternoon.
 MT. Martin conducts a small fruit and refreshment stand near the Ensley electric line, and resides with his family two blocks away. The unfortunate boy left home shortly before the storm came up and went to his fathers stand to get something for home.
 He was standing in the front door lock- fng out at the storm, which was growing mere severe every minute.
 There Was Heavy Crash
 Suddenly there was a heavy crash and young Martin fell to the floor as if shot, having been struck by the bolt, which first hir the heavy current cable of the Electric railway, which parted under Che strain. George Townsend, young man who was standing near by, was so badly shocked that he was unable to go to the boys assistance, having himself barely escaped being struck by the death-dealing bolt, which flied the air around with fantastic figures of vivid brightness
 Others Were Shocked
 MT Martin and his step-son, Lum Cald. well, who were inside the stand, were also slightly shocked, but managed to reach young Martin in time to see him give his last gasp. It was at first thought that the little fellow was only shocked, and Dr. Brown was hastily summoned, but when he arrived he announced that the boy was dead, and on closer examination found that his neck had been broken by the bolt, which struck him on the head, passing en- tirely through the body.
 As is usual with lightning victims, the lads skin began to turn black, which evil denced the fact that the deadly fluid had spread throughout the muscular system, radiating to almost every part of the body. The tragic death of young Martin caused intense excitement in the vicinity, and soon hundreds of people gathered around the stand to ascertain the facts. Universal re- gret was expressed, as the boy was exceed ingly bright and popular with all classes. The remains were removed to the family residence, where they were prepared for burial The funeral will occur today.

Bank of Finland and an easing of discount rates in London caused the stock market there to strengthen materially, Americans taking leading part in the movement
 This fact was attributed partially to ma nipulation from this side, but more par ticularly to appreciation on the part of British speculative interests on the effect of favorable business conditions and con- tinued increases in earnings in the position of many American railroad properties, par ticularly those whose securities are selling at moderate figures. The crop outlook as well as the activity of trade and industry continues to give confidence to the bullish spectators, while the relatively easier condition of the money market tends to diminish the apprehension displayed for some weeks back in that connection.

DUN'S REVIEW

New York; August 25.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade will say tomrrow:
 Nothing is more eloquent than the facts. Actual payments through the principal clearing houses for the week were 23.1 per cent. larger than last year and 56.2 per cent. larger than in the same week in 1892. For the month thus far the daily average of payments fave been 26.3 per cent larger than last year and 56 per cent. larger than in 1892 Tonnage from Chicago in three weeks has been SO.7 per cent. larger than last year, and TAG per cent larger than in 1892.
 It will not be suggested by anybody that such an astonishing increase over the most prosperous of all past years except the last was expected. Most people really re- garded last years expansion as something like freak. Nor is the difference in amount of payments mainly due to the rise in prices, for prices of several hundred ar ticles actually range lower now on the whole than in August, 1892 It is a con- sumers business also. Perhaps never be- fore have demands for actual use con trolled business and prices with so little speculation to anticipate higher markets.
 Practically all industries are some months behind the requirements for actual use, and much of the output for next year is al- ready sold. Iron works which supply Pitts burg are sold up far into 1900, and can do nothing, though prices much beyond what they received are paid by those who must have iron this year. The enormous demand for more railroads and rails and cars, more vessels warefhOusea and hutldinps to handle the extraordinary business in progress can not be met as quickly as men would like, and work of all sorts is delayed, from the biggest war vessel to the smallest fac- tory. The boot and shoe business is like wise crowded. not so far ahead of produc- tion, but farther than many producers like, by the clamorous demand of jobbers who cannot keep up the retail distribution. Prices have risen quite generally 2h cents per pair, but the only shrinkage In orders as the season wanes is welcome to pro- ducers already committed far ahead.
 Shipments in three weeks have been 13 per cent. greater than in any previous year and 25 per cent. greater than in 1892. Leather rises further and especially for uppers, with->demand beyond precedent, and large producers sold four months ahead, and hides at Chicago are also stronger with heavy sales ahead of curing. Cotton goods also have further advanced in lines not affected by proposed consoli- dalton, and the demand for woolen goods has gone beyond all expectations. The sales of wool are enormous, 35,077, ,l9o pounds in four weeks. so.ils.4so pounds being de-

IRON STEADY WITH
 26 GENT INCREASE
Vanderbilt Furnace Resumed Op-
 erations During Week.
ANOTHER TO 60 IN BLAST
Preparations for Resumption at Truss Reported Organization of the Georgia & Alabama Iron Go. to
 Develop Cedartown Plant

The iron market has been steady for the past week, with a general advance in prices of 25 cents That the demand continues brisk is proven by the blowing in of the Vanderbilt furnace and active preparations for placing in blast the Trussville furnace. Vice-Presdent James Bowron's review of the local iron market which is each week given to the Associated Press is as follows:
 The iron market for the past week has
 been perfectly steady and prices strong
 having practically advanced % cents all
 around since this day last week. The
 Vanderbilt furnace has gone into blast
 during the week and preparations are
 being made for starting the Trussville
 furnace early as possible.
 The almost entire disregard of rumors in the industrial world for the past few weeks indicates a suspension to some ex- tent of wild speculation and a settling down to a more solid, substantial basis.

in that state. A portion of the lands extend into Alabama
 "The companies to be consolidated are the Cherokee Iron company and the Vest ern Mining company, with their mineral lands. Of the latter there are about 5000 acres, Vg4h five or six developed ore mines. There is also one furnace at Cedartown, Ga.
 "The capital stock will be divided into s650,0 900 preferred stock and a similar amount of common. The preferred will pay per cent cumulative dividend. The stock will to a great extent be absorbed by the company, which Is at present com pleting the negotiations for the transfer of the properties
 "The syndicate which will buy the iron properties Is composed of Rogers, Brown & Co. and Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincin- natl, the vice president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad and the owner of the Talladega furnace property in Alabama. MT. Zimmerman Is also largely interested in coal mining in the south.
 Since the activity in the coal and iron industry commenced in the south, Rogers, Brown & Co. have been interested in sev- eral of the recent consultations. the most important of which has been the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company. which was recently formed with capitalization of $20.0O0,0O0.
 "When Archer Brown, of that firm. was seen yesterday he said that plans had not as yet been formed as to the policy of the company.
 "'rt has not been decided he said. whether the company which will be form ed will open up any new furnaces or de- velop any new mining properties. It is very likely that We shall operate the fur.

nestle, with prices generally unchanged, though concessions are now made to secure sales in some lines. Sharp fluctuations in cotton show how fears of Injury by drought in Texas and elsewhere would affect the market if there were not on hand about B. 0OO,000 bales of old cotton, including SOO,0O0 in European and probably 100000 in Amer ican mills. Consumption is enormous, but 1t can not exhaust such supplies soon.
 Reports of injury to wheat in the north west have likewise affected the market but only for a day or two, the price clos ing Ac lower for the week. Western re- ceipts no longer keep up with the extraor- dinary movement of a year ago, falling 1.SOO0OO bushels behind for the week. but for four weeks have been 15, ,367 ,414 bushels against 14,354. .621 bushels last year.
 Failures for the week have been 163 in the United States, against 179 last year, and l6 in Canada, against 26 last year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW


 New York, August 25.-Bradstreet's fnan- cial review tomorrow will say:
 Although still restricted as to the charac- ter of the speculation there were some in- dications that public interest in the stock market is growing. The tone this week has also been, on the whole, strong and flexible for both accounts.
 The disposition on Friday was to await today's bank statement and the market became dull with more or less irregularity As was the case during the preceding week, the bullish manifestations were in the low or medium priced stocks. A num- Der of these were again the objects of effi- cient pool manipulation which attracted both professional and public buying support.
 There were, however indications of inter est in some of the higher priced dividend payers based on suggestions that the pres ent remarkable earnings of certain prop critics might justify larger divisions of profits among their shareholders. There were, however, no remarkable movements in this portion of the share list and, apart from the rises of the tobacco stocks, leath- CT, cotton oil and Tennessee Coal, the in dustrials were neglected, the only other exception being a decline in American Steel and Wire.
 London was at first indifferent to our stocks or betrayed its preoccupation with the state of it's own money market and the danger, financial and speculative, con- nected with the possibility of war in South Africa. In the latter portion of tLe week another fairly good weekly return by the
