New York, May S.-The Iron Age to-
day says:
A notable event OF the past week was
the capture by the Phoenix Bridge
Company Of the contract for the great
bridge over the ST. Lawrence river
Canada, which win require 1900 tons
Of steel This is one OF the largest
bridge contracts ever placed Proposals
are now being invited on the APP
proaches 20 the new East river bridge,
New York. which viii take about 1900
tons OF steel The bids will be opened
on the 3lst instant. In connection with
these important matters the fact may
be noted that heavy quantities Of pig
iron for exports are under negotiation.
IL IS asserted that possibly 100000 tons
may shortly be covered for foreign
shipment as result OF the negotia-
tions now under way. Sales OF finished
products have also been made for exc
port to a considerable extent during
the week Prices are now approaching
q level which Is Offering opportunities
for the renewal of export business on
dimensions which make the movement
appear considerable
The situation Of the domestic market
generally is a little less favorable than
last week. Prices are yielding under
the strain OF the recent unfavOrable de-
velopments and lower range OF values
seems 20 be assured Our reports from
various trade centers show that re-
auctions have been made In various
rolled products Rails, structural
shapes and sheets are notable eXcep-
lions. The reductions made have not
been large. but serve TO show the ten-
dency now existing. Buyers are dis
posed to hold OF, not being inclined 20
make purchases of any considerable
quantities so long as they believe that
by waiting they may be able 20 do a
little better for themselves How long
they may be inclined 20 wait is Ques
ton that every one would Ike 20 be able

ton steady and prevent Generalization.
II IS rather remarkable considering the
circumstances that manufacturers are

JackSOnian Democrat. "
Surviving him are his wife and
these children: Denton, of the
vicinity of Fannettsburg; Harvey,
Of Pleasant Ridge; Mrs. w. H..
Fagly, of Pleasant Ridge; Mrs.
Conrad Cline, Sipes Mills; Mrs.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Mr.. Samuel Henry Demick, son
OF the late Nathan Demick and
Mrs Catharine Demick, who re.
sides IN this place, went to Hi.
nois about thirteen years ago and
has since been employed as a
farm hand. Being excellent help,
he always had good place and
received the best wages paid in
the neighborhood. He was home
here to visit his mother and
friends about three years ago.
Being employed by a farmer
living between Elmwood and
Yates City, he, on Tuesday morn
ing of last week, started with a
load of apples to 60 to the home
Of neighbor, who had a press, to
make cider. On his way he no.
ticed q thunder storm coming,
(and they come up very suddenly
in that part of the country,) and
Samuel drove his team into q
barn he was about to pass.
The barns there are not bank
barns as ours are, but are built
on the level prairie with a pair of
large double doors on each side.
These, in this case, were standing
open; and Samuel, sitting on the
wagon, drove in ana allowed his
team to stand about the middle
Of the floor. He had been there
but q few minutes, when there
was d vivid flash and an instanta-
neous crash Of thunder, which
startled the team and caused it to
pass on through and out Of the
Darn. When the team was
caught by some one who happen
ed to be near, Samuel was found
lying dead on the load Of apples.
The lightning bolt had struck
one Of the ventilators directly
over the place where Samuel was
sitting on hia wagon, and had
passed On to The eartl, killing
him There was blue streak
abcut uis 'orc1eaj his mustache
was siDged,an a blue line on one
sido of his body rom his head to
his feet.
The barn, from the stroke,
burned to the ground with all its
contents, including the summers
harvest Of lay and grain. This
makes the eighth barn burned by
lightning in That neighborhood
this season,
His remains were at once pre-
pared for burial, and, accompa-
MED by his brothers, Mace and
Christopher, who live in the same
| locality, reached this place on
Friday. Funeral took place from

above, there survive him another
brother, George, who lives in Hi
nois, and three sisters, Mrs. Ed
