Thomas Heermans, juntor partner fa tho firm. of Clinton Brings & Heermans, proprietors of the Star and Crescent Mills, at tho southwestern end of Randolph street bridge, was suddenly killed, shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, by fulling through a freight-elevator pass- agoway from the sixth floor In the mill to tho basement, a distance of between 05 and 100 fect. No one of the einployés about tue place saw tho accident, and consequently the exact manner in which it occurrod js something that can- not’ certainly bo ascertained. Tho mill- dust which covers overything in the willl shows marks hero ‘and there about, tho olevator eliaft, which enables one to draw conclusions usto how the xsecident occurred. ‘Thus friends of the deceased and others who looked oyer the ground have fully satistted thom- selves isto tho exact manner of douth, At about 8 o'clock Sir, Heermans visited tha ship- ping-room in the basement, und questioned the foremnn, Mr. Goodrich, ns to what orders bo bid to nll during the day, Ho thon sampled some flour that was being packed preparatory to ship- ment, and, fully sutistled ng to its quality ie: ‘OX- pressed bis approbation and passed on up-stairs, Some fifteen minutes Inter ho wasin the carpen- ter shop on the sixth flour, aud was seon to pick up several good-sized semicircular pleces of waate wood, and also pleco of wood which the curpentors had sawed olf the end of anew box shaft. Thislust was a cumbersome thing to eurry, Tha workman who saw him pick up these pieces had an fdeu that Mr, Heermans siinply wished to utilize these pleces in some otber part of the bullding, and passed on down stairs, without giving his employer any further attention. Itseoms a certulnty that Mr. Heer inns WALKED TO THE ELEVATOR SUAFT, and, looking down to seo where tho platform was, and at the ame moment reaching out with his right huad to urasp tho starting cord,in or- der to cause tha plutform to ascend, lost bis balinco and toppled ovor Into the shaft, Tho clovator is of the pattern common for fre he yur 08, ‘There ts nt plutforin four feet six by i¥e teat Shee with two uprights alx fect. high, surmounted by a cross-beam or neck, to which tho tackle isattuched, Tho platform was at the ting of tho accident at the bottom of the shaftin the basement, and as it was not moved from this position Itis certuin that dir.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Pirrsnuna, Pa., May 5.—Tho * boom” appears ‘to havo entirely left the iron trade, which is now said to be in a more unsatiafactory cundition than before the recent advance In the card-rate. ‘The Western Iron Association took this view of tho situation to-day, when at a meeting In this city they decided to reduco tho price for bar fron from 4.2 to 2.5. Tho rowson for this reces- ston, it ia stated, ly the entire absunse of orders oud a desira to atintulate the market The mecting was very quictly and some- what mysteriously held. Outside of tho manufacturers themselves few know of it. Indeed, several members of the Agsocius tion did not know the mecting was to be beld untlearly this morning. It was decided on Monday to call tho meeting, and tho members distant from the city wore on that day notified by telegraph. Thore was practically a full mect- fog. The mills in tho West were represented by telegrams or letters to the Secretary, Mr. Weeks, instructing him to act fur them and to vote in every Instunce for the proposed reduction of the cu. |. Some of these communications contained statements respecting the con- dition of tho market in the cttles represented, from which it appenred there Is an absolute dearth of orlers.

Soveral uanufucturers were interviewed this afternoon upon the subject of the reduction All who were spoken to were united Jn saying that the want of orders was not cause by any cessation of the business improvement of the country, Thoy sald the price bad beeu allowed to advance to auch an extent thit En- gilsh iron began to come in in tremendons quan: Utles, not so much merely to get the benetit of tho advunce ns because it was orlieved abrond. there wis an extraordinary dearth cf tron bere, When this tron reached here 1. euttd be bundled ata handsome profit at 3.2, whicn of course ef- fectunlly stopped tho market for American frou at { conta. So orders suddenly ceased, and there was nothing for tae mills to ‘do but to meet tho price of English fron, and also to stimulate tho demand, the first reduction was made, ‘The manufacturers bere suy the ¢amand Was nover stlinulated by n failing market,and, when fron dropped to’ £32, people, instead of rushing tn with thelr orders, sald: Well, the bouin's burst, and they are feeling for the bot~ tom now.” When the [ran men who thus point ed out the caurc of the trouble wero asked, “Do you regard the recession from the four-cent card to bave becn a mistuke?" thoy hastily reptied: “We can’t say that; nobody Knows whit was right." eer ne: the asser- tions that have been made it the reduction was tomuke those English people sick, this is declared to be absolutely untruo, Ttehad been sald by manufacturers that it would make them sick, but as to such being the design of reducin, tho seule the statement is emphatically denied {n connection with thissubject of Engilsh fron, es phate that five cargoes for Lewis, Oliver ¢ Phillips reached New York since the first reduction of the card, and that, rather thin pay the duties and tako the chances of tho ilat market here, the vessels were allowed to return with the fron, and it was disposed of In England.
