SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
Steel Read djuStment Causes Increased
Iron Output.

Advices from the iron producing districts OF U q
Middle West and elsewhere show that there hSt
been Il general resumption of operations at u d
furnaces producing Bessemer pig iron in the cur
rent month. the of production now being about
10000 year. instead of 100000 tons which
was the record for August. The August showing
encouraged producers. ami the readjustment In the
prices OF steel is expected TO stimulate the demand
for steel calling for increased amount OF steel
making iron The increase In production or IRON Is
for steel-making iron and not for the foundry
grades.
This widespread resumption OF work Is furniSnlng
employment for many thousands OF laporers- iheit
purchasing power is increased and the genera ousl
ness conditions in the iron producing secuohs IL
therefore benefited. The resources OF this country
for producing iron enormous, and the prospecf
tive Improvement In the demand for steel Will cause
a further increase I'm the output OF steel-makIng
and bring still better conditions. Authorities
say that there is every reason for expecting an I'M
provement I'm the demand for steel, as there have
long been large inquiries before the trade wnich
were withheld because Of the disagreemnt regarding
the proper basis OF prices Since these adjustments
have been made these orders hay be expected, and
a better volume Of small orders should also be
forthcoming. the consumers have allowed their
stocks as low possible. expecting that the
reduction in values would be made.

"EDH0LM NOT A SUICIDE"
COrORer's Verdict is That Death
Vas occidental.

II developed at the inquest held 10y Coroner
weisendanger. at New Rochelle last night that
from the evidence Of witnesses Erik Lars Dldrlk
Edholm who was killed near the I.archmonT
station on September s did not commit suicide.
but that he was either attacked with hear'
disease while crossing the track or else stumbled
in front % the train which over him.
II was learned thar Mr. Edhom was insured
I'm the aggregate amount Of S45Ooo and if the
suicide theory had been established some oi 'he
policies might have been contestabie Much
mystery surrounds the actual cause of MI Eu-
holfa's falling in front Of the train. Judge John
J. Crernan appearel before the Coroner in he
half Of the widow and he brought out from the
witnesses that Mr. Edholm was crossing The
four tracks Of the New-Haven Railroad from
the east to the west bound side, and that he was
evidently going to meet several friends VINO
went to New-York on the train that ended his
life.
4 number of members of the Larchmont Yacht
club were at the inquest Judge Crennan asked
Frank Hardy, a former member Of the regatta
committee of the Larchmont Club. if Mr. Ed
holm was hanpy and cheerful, and he said he
always had been.
Did you know of any reason why he should
end his hfe?" Judge Crennan asked.
No. sir. I never had a friend so cheerful and
happy. On next Sunday he had arranged TO go
with Mr. Stone TO an entertainment
Farrell. the fireman of the New-HaVen road
testified that he Mr.. Edholm walking rap
idly across the four tracks. and that when he
reached the track the local train was on he
suddenly went down his knees and threw
up his hands. as though he had lost all power
OF movement.
Daniel NJ. Conway, coachman for William A
Marble testified that he saw Mr.. Edholm de-
liberateIy throw UP his hands. and then fall
down between the trains. II think it was case
of deliberately doing it." he added. Half dozen
hacknen and other witnesses all swore that Mr.
Edholm evidently stumbled while crossing the
tracks.
Coroner Weisendanger rendered this verdict:
I find that Erik Bdholm came to his death from
injuries he received by being struck by train on
the New-Haven railroad while endeavoring 10
the tracks Of the company, ana from my
investigation and the evidence find that his death
was purely accidental
There is little doubt" said Judge Crennan.
that Mr. Edholm stumbled while crossing the
tracks and that he was seized with heart dis
ease before he could get Of. He was probably
dead before he was run over. There was no
reason for his committing suicide, and there
is no evidence that he did,
There is report that the insurance compa-
MES may contest the payment of the policies in
the courts. contending that Mr.. Edholm COM
nitfed suicide.
