A large volume of business was also placed in the southwest. The total con tracts in all districts in the last two weeks have aggregated in excess. 1 of 250,000 tons. Although the buiying has been heavy, contention for business has been so keen that prices have receded slightly. Many small orders for structuraj and fabricated steel were placed last, week, and several important * contracts were closed In the west in the 'last, day or two. The Vandalia railroad and Penn sylvania lines west placed some. bridge' orders, but most of the railroad: work pending will go into another month.

Mooney of 2609 Nineteenth street, lost her hold on the capsized boat to which she, with Isabelle Lutzcn and Nellie O'Connell, was clinging, and was drowned. In spite of the efforts of A. J. : Hutley of Brighton Beach and Percy Chattock of Alameda to save her, she slipped from the upturned boat while the men were in the very act of saving the lives of the other two girls. Up to a late hour last night the lake was being dragged under the direction of the drowned girl's father, in an effort . to rescue the body. With a party of friends the girl had gone to the lake to spend the week end. A boat ride was \u25a0 suggested shortly after breakfast, and the three girls started across the still lake. It is thought that one of the girls stood up In the boat and became 6xclted, tip ping the other two and herself into the lake. Their cries for help attracted the attention of the crowd on, the . shore, and Hutley and Chattock immediately rowed out to the capsized boat. In' spite of their haste, Miss Mooney lost her strength and sank from sight as the others were being xeseued. • The victim of the accident is well known in this city, where she had Jived the greater part of her life. The father left here in an automobile as soon as word was received from the lake of his daughter's death, and will remain there until her body is re covered."'-"A brother, Thomas L., and a sister.

Curtiss flew from Albany to | New York city in an aeroplane today, winning the $10,000 prize of fered by the New York World. He covered the distance of 137 mi!e> in 2 hours and 32 minutes, and came to earth as calmly and as lightly as a pigeon. His averagd speed for the distance — 54.05 miles an hour — sur passes any other record made by aero plane in long distance flight, and in it's entirety his feat perhaps eclipses anything man has attempted in a heavier than air machine. Weather Conditions Perfect The start was made from Albany at 7:03 o'clock this morning, umfer weather conditions as nearly perfect as the most fastidious aviator could demand. One hour and 23 minutes later he had made his stopping place near Poughkeepsie, where there wa* an hour's intermission. Resuming hi> flight at 9:26, he sped southward and landed within the boundary of Man hattan island at 10:35. Only 100 yards north of the point on which his craft settled stretched Spuyton Duyvil creek, separating island from the mainland. Had he failed to cross this, his flight would have been in vain, but as he swept over it, the prize was y his. Thence to Governors island his task was bu^- the concluding lap> x of a face already won. Jockeyed Like a Falcon Paulhan's flight from London • to- Manchester I—lß61 — 186 miles — exceeded the Curtiss feat of today in distance, but not in soeed and danger. The French man's average was 44.3 miles an hour, and below him lay English meadow land. Curtiss followed the winding course of the historic Hudson/ with jutting headland, wooded slopes and* treacherous palisades. He swung high over the great bridge at Poughkeepsie, dipped at times within SO feet, of the river's broad surface and jockeyed like* a falcon" at the turns. ' Only once did his craft show signs of rebellion. This was off Storm King.. near West Point, when at 'a height oo r nearly 1.000 feet a treacherous gust' struck* his planes. The machln* dropped - 40 feet and tilted perilously, but Cur tiss kept his head and by adroit manip ulation restored the equilibrium of the' machine. *•-\u25a0\u25a0 ; Curtiss was up before dawn today.' hesitant despite favorable weather con ditions. But with _eye 3 an<3 brain, cleared of the cobwebs -' of sleep he went with his mechanic and a handful of spectators to Van -Rensselaer island, in the Hudson, three miles south of Albany, ; where , he was to start.
