 The most interesting development of the week has been the report that lot of 10 900 tons of pig iron has been sold for shipment to Manchester, England. If that has been put through it means that a serious cut below our own domes- tic level of values has been accepted.
 The steel trade Is dull, and in the ter rltories east of the Alleghenies is affected by the offerings in a restricted market of open hearth billets by works usually con- suming their own steel products, but now having a surplus.
 The markets for finished iron and steel are. generally speaking, dull, and the new tonnage coming up fails to replace that which Is being shipped on old orders.

Popular Young Man of Selma Meets Horrible Death-Fire Which Followed Explosion Par
 tially Consumed Him.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau, Selma. October %. AustinClimie was instantly killed tonight by an explosion of an acetyiene gas plant in the rear of Rooendorrs saloon. His face was entirely obliterated and his body horribly mangled, and by the fire which followed the explosion, his feet and hands were burned to a crisp.
 The accident occurred at quarter to 10 o'clock. Mir. Clinic. who Is plumber, was repairing the gas machine wsich was located in a small brick house adjoining the saloon. He had lantern in his hand and the gas escaping from the pipes was ignited. Mr. Climie was lying prone upon the roof of the building and almost the entire force of the explosion was thus di- rected against his face and ppdy. Simul- taneously with the explosion, fire was started in the building and the lifeless body was suspended over the fierce flames until the flesh was in some places burned to crisp.
 The accident was first discovered by a negro employed in the saloon. There was a noise distinctly audible through out the building, and when the negro went to the rear of the bar to investigate. he found that the place was on fire. He immediately reported 1t to the barkeeper and fire alarm was turned in. ne HtBrO Sdiu ne tcdTeQ tHdt MT. Cllfnfe had been hurt and Henry Franelich and Clarence Day at once rushed to the build. ing in which was located the gas ma chine Upon the roof they saw poor Clinic | and by using ladder, they quickly

 ward. his hands and feet dangling in the flames which roared beneath him. His clothing was burning in several places. He was a pitiful sight. His face was a | mass of blood and torn flesh. bloated and
 whitened by the intense heat to which 1t had been subjected. His hands and feet were horribly scorched. It was plain that he must have been killed instantly. The exact manner in which the accident occurred is not known. It is supposed that one of the connections of the pipe was loose and that while he was tighten ing this escaping gAs caught fire from a lamp or lantern Mir. Clinic had in his hand He was an experienced plumber and had often repaired similar machines but f1 Is thought he must have been care less in making the repairs.
 The fire which resulted from the ex- plosion was extinguished after much trouble by the fire department There was no damage to adjoining property.
 The deceased was N years old and was the son of MT. and Mrs. J. M. Clinic of this city. He was unmarried and had several brothers and sisters. He was one of the best young men in the city and his death casts gloom over all who knew him.

THE IRON MARKET.
The Real Volume of Consumption a
 Puzzle,

New York, Oct. 29.-It is exceedingly puzzling. with the spectacle of works closing and starting again, to reach any conclusion. says The Iron Age. as to the real volume of consumption. Buyers keep very close to shore. and manufacturers decline to stock product when its cost promises to be lower with the opening of next year. Under such conditions con sumption is probably larger than appears on the Surface but what Is really troub- ling makers most is the uncertainty of the future. During winter months in normal years the consumption Is lighter than at other times of the year. and it is teo much to hope that this will prove an exception. With the tonnage on the

A BEAUTIFUL HOME
What Has Been Accomplished by a
Man Who Knows How.

The Republican has from time to
time printed descriptions of Phoenl>:
homes. One worthy of mention is that
of r. ]. c. Walker on North Center
street. Mr.. Walker bought it two
years ago and put it into the hands OF
Dave Turner who is called the Father
of Flowers" because by his work in
the court house plaza he first showed
that flowers could be successfully raised
in the valley.
The beauty he has made out of the
Walker place is worth going to see.
The house has been enlarged ana is
partially surrounded By a porch around
which is border of sweet peas now in
full bloom. a lawn on the south ie
surrounded by border of white stocks
with an outer border of orange mari
gold, the back of the border near the
fence being planted to sweet peas,
mixed with California peoples, all in
terspersed with rose bushes and shrub
berry. The border next the house is
composed of rows of iris, candy-tuft
purple stock and sweet alyssium.
The lawn on the Center street side
is surrounded by double row of white
stock with a border of marigold and
sweet alyssium backed by pink sweet
peas interspersed with rose bushes
pampas grass and oleander. Outside of
this is a row of rose bushes planted to
be converted into a rose hedge. The
large lawn north of the house is inter-
sected by number of small graveled
walks. making a pretty design and
forming plats the borders of which are
covered by rows of white and purple
stocks all bordered by marigold and
sweet alyssium fianked by pink sweet
peas.
Two handsome palms stand at equal
distances, one surrounded by bed Of
orange marigold and the other by lemon
color "a novelty in marigold). The
large border on the north is a mass of
sweet peas soon to be a blaze of colors
and will continue for three months.
The southern side entrance on Center
street is bordered by century plants,
then bright red stocks followed by
white and purple. Back of the house
between it and the barn is a handsome
bed of pink sweet peas mass of
bloom; these and two other similar
beds are bordered by pansies and sweet
alyssium. All this is intersected with
Monterey cypress. elders, handsome
fan and date palms and hundreds OF
rose bushes. The place IS surrounded
by ash trees on all sides, pepper trees
in front, pomegranates in the rear and
a pretty park along Center street max
ing one of the most beautiful places In
the vicinity of Phoenix and demon
strating the ability of Mr.. Turner &c
accomplish what seems to be wonders
in so short a period as two years.
1t is understood that the property
will shortly be placed on the market
The buyer who acquires so beautiful I
home will be lucky and he will be still
more lucky if he retains the manage
ment who has made it the pride of the
community.
