SEVERELY INJURED.
William Simmons has His Arm
Shattered.

~ mas HIS Arm
Shattered.
We are panied to announce the fact that
William Simmons, Esq, one of our WORTH
est citizens and most excellent builders,
met with severe accident yesterday by
which he came near losing his life, and
which resulted in the badly shattering OF
his left arm and other painful Injuries. Mr.
Simmons is one of the contractors for the
carpenters work in the building of the new
Church of the Advent Yesterday morning
at 8 o'clock he started to ascend ladder to
the height of some 80 or 40 feet. When
seven or eight feet up, the ladder slipped
and precipitated Mr. Simmons to the floor,
falling with his left arm under the ladder.
The fall was very severe one. Mr.. S.
had the bone of his left arm from the elbow
to the shoulder badly splinte-ed and shat
tered, and his hip suffered bruise and con-
fusion, while other slight injuries were
sustained. Mr.. S. was at once conveyed
to his residence, No. &c McLemore street.
DR.. BUST was called in, who skillfully
dressed the wound, and left the patient,
though suffering intensely, in fair way to
speedily recover. 1t is well the accident is
no worse. Had the ladder slipped after he
had assembled a few rounds higher, he
would no doubt have been killed.

no immediate prospect of getting up much.
The event, however, has had very little
effect upon the prices of bread, meat,

strange to say, cost as much in hard as
they did in soft currency. The effect else

WALL STREET.
ReaCtiOn-Du5iOms shorts

New York, March 11-Wall Street affairs
show sharp reaction from the effect Of
the Bear speculation in gold. The senti-
ment is quite common that speculations in
premium have been produced mainly by
artificial expedients, and that a reaction
having set in affairs are likely to revert
back TO about the position from which the
panic started. A large short interest has
been established during the fall in gold,
and as The Shortsappear undecided whether
reaction is permanent or only temporary,
they show considerable vacillation in Oper-
atoms, covering when the price rises and
again selling when there is any decline.
This being true not only on gold but also
on securities, especially Governments.
Sheer Gambling.
Gold opened at 49,, and being hammered
freely, it fell to 1928. At the latter figure
there was considerable buying on long &C
count, and a report coming from Wash
ington that the House Committee on
Foreign Relations had determined to re-
port a resolution in favor of the recogni-
lion of Cuba as bolligercnts, the price
quickly advanced to 113H. The room was
also filed with rumors about accumulation
to bull gold, and the accredited parties
were an American banker, a large German
banking house and several merchants, all
possessed Of very large means. Though
Il had again fallen to 1874, the reported
iuIl movement carried it to ia. It closed
at 1I35 Nl1+.
The market was greatly excited in the
evening. Some men who could not sell
gold at the lowest point, were climbing
over each other this eYeningto buy gold all
the way up to ia.
Effects on Trade.
The advance in gold has caused firmer
feeling in the produce Manifestation Ga
with the exception of cotton which adj
vanced 4@2c largely over gold it is very
sensitive. The dry goods trade is gene
rally quiet and the leading jobbers ceased
the war on domestic cotton goods and
Others. The advance In gold has caused a
more cheerful feeling among the merchants,
who endured losses by shrinkage IN conse-
quence Of the recent decline.
