BALLOON MATCH
New Record for Aerial Voyages Es-
 tablished

New York, October 12.-A dispatch to the Herald from Paris says:
 'The closing competition in the exhibi- ton balloon matches will live long in the history of aeronauts. One at least of the competitors has far outdistanced any prev ious officially recorded aerial voyage.
 "A telegram received at 10 o'clock this morning from the Figaro's correspondent in Kiaw, Russia, announces the arrival of the balloon Centaure at a spot beyond that city.
 "Comte Henry De La VAulx is the record breaker He was accompanied on his jour- ney by Comte Castelon De Saint Victor, who held the previous balloon record of 1870 kometers from Paris to Westerwick.
 The Kiaw voyage took thirty-six hours. The Centaure appears to be a remarkably lucky balloon. It carried Comte Casteon De Saint Victor on his record journey and was also the balloon used by Comte De La Vaulx on his recent trip to Loclawek in Russian Poland. The distance of 1870 klometers Is measured as the crow flies. The distance between Paris and Kiaw Is 2100 kilometers Q34 miles)
 'The Centaure had great advantage over the other five balloons in the contest from the fact that 1t was partially filled with hydrogen and could thus carry a much greater quantity of ballast"

 The event of the week in the iron and steel trade has been the taking of 150 900 tons of rails by the Pennsylvania Railroad at $16 per ton, announced on Friday. This action, which will probably be followed by ether companies, disposes of the steel rail puzzle satisfactorily to the rail makers and constitutes another element of strength to the industry generally.
 Despite the decrease of over 20 per cent in current pig iron production from four months ago, furnace stocks are reported increasing and prices are rather weak. The considerable volume of hand to mouth buying, however presupposes that consum- CTS stocks are well down. In structural and bridge material the feature is the placing of the contract for the East river bridge, which calls for nearly 70,00( tons Relatively most activity in pig iron is reported at Birmingham, where sales and shipments quite heavy.

Bryan was first elected in 1890; Stevenson
