A Comedy OF Errors in the South
An amusing yet quite a serious diff
Guilty occurred at bar room in Logan
vile Saturday night between two white
men and negro. The white men saw fit
to make charge with axe handles upon
the negro, and in doing so the candle,
the only light in the bar, fell to the floor
and went out. Mr.. Day, one of the white
men, opened his battery upon the head
of the other and vice versa, each think
ing the other was the negro, until the
candle was relit. The result was that one
of them had to be carried home on a litter
and put to bed, where he will likely re-
main for several weeks. The wounded
man received two ugly cuts upon the
head from his friend in the dark.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-At the New York
stock exchange the market opened 16(d3{
per cent higher, with Union Pacific in the
lead aud Northwestern following. During
the first hour the market was pretty active
and considerably stronger. WoerishosTer
bought ST. Paul. He SAYS that he would not
be long OF Union Pacific for anything, as in
his opinion Gould is heavily loaded up with
stock which he wants 20 get rid or Gould is
credited with having bought Lake Shore and
New York Central in the last few DAYS. The
Changers are particularly strong, and
in the present upward movement a
good mary brokers' claim TO see
the beginning of better times. Yanderhoof
says that the same old clique are in the mar
ket buying again. Gould, Slayback, White.
Morgan, Smith and Woerishoffer are all bull
ish, and the bears are hard TO find. Under
the manipulation OF the former the shorts
were forced 10 cover, and the market rose
under their buying. Union Pacific went up
to 53sl, St Paul TO 7695, Northwestern to
Union 611l, New York Central to s99S,
Lake Shore to 6S1E, Lsckawanna TO 1883,
Jersey Central to Al I, Erie seconds to 80,
Northern Pacific preferred 10 4311{, sud Bur-
lington & Quincy to 121. Kansas & Texas
also have some life and rose TO 1914. The
great lever used by the bulls was a report
that at the last meeting Of the trunk line
presidents yesterday the east bound freight
rate question was settled and
that the passenger rate war
war would soon be adjusted. The Texas
Pacific bond holders have made q formal
demand for the retirement Of the Missouri
Pacific interest in the Texas Pacific
directory. A comparative statement Of the
assets OF the Oregon Transcontinental from
June 1, 1888, to November 1, 1884,
shows decrease Of over $15, ZOO, 600. Mr..
Gould says the Vanderbilt people discovered
that somebody was buying Lake Shore stock
and so they were forced to buy themselves
in order to keep the road from falling into
other hands. Even the old bear party were
said to be long on some lines Of stock. St.
Paul stock was so scarce yesterday that there
were some fears Of a squeeze. A large
block Of New York Central has been with
drawn for shipment 10 Europe, and that
makes it scarce and high, and in case it
becomes necessary Reading stockholders will
apply TO the courts to prevent the payment
Of Jersey Central dividends. Some of the
traders called the pool in New York Central
''bob-tailed.'' probably because it was mostly
made up Of shorts. The gross earnings Of
the Atchison road for October were given
out as s175, 600. 1t was quite evident that
the rise was due to the coverings of shorts
more than to good, genuine outside buying
for the long account, for, after the shorts got
through, the market relapsed into compare
tive dizziness, and fractional reaction took
place. Still, the present grip of the bulls
may be strong enough to hold the market
firm for little while.

TernH ReIicn-

1t would seem that some provision should
be made by the state for the preservation Of
historic relics at the capitol. The appropri-
atoms for the purchase Of the Alamo and for
copies Of the records of the southern con-
federacy were generous, but no general policy
has ever been adopted in regard to such mat
tiers. An exchange refers to the suggestion
in the city of Mexico Tioo Republics for the
purchase and return to that city of certain
relics left by Gen. Sam Houston, which are
still in possession of his children, but which
are liable to be scattered aud lost in a short
time If no step is taken for their preservation ::
''At the battle OF San Jscinto a gold-mounted
saddle and bride, gold-mounted walking
cane, ield-glass, and snuff box were cap
tured by the Texan soldiers, who presented
the articles TO Gen. Sam Houston. The arti-
cles were OF great merit and value, aud Gen.
Houston acting under the impulse of chival-
ric honor, presented them to Gen. Santa An
ma. The latter CALAMITY returned the articles
to Gen. Houston, and they are now in pos
session OF his family" The family is already
scattered, and no provision has ever been
made by the heirs for the final distribution
or custody of the relics. The Twin Sister,
the two famous cannon used by the Texans
at San Jacinto, having disappeared, and it
seems that scarcely a memento of the Texas
revolution will long survive.-Galyeston

The Rise Of a French Marshal.

Andoche Junot was Burgundian by birth,
born in I771, and in his youth, after a pre-
paratorY schooling, he studied law, but never
praetised. When he was twenty-one years
of age he enlisted in the army as volunteer;

months previous to the execution of the king,
Louis XVI In September, 1898, when Paris
had become comparatively quiet under the
rule of the Constituent Assembly, Napoleon
Bonaparte, then scarcely known beyond the
old convention and his own section of the
army, was sent to wrest Toulon from the
English and Spanish; and among the men
under his command was young Juuot. Dur
ing the seige that followed Napoleon had &C.
casion one day to send a despstch TO a distant
point. He was in the saddle, halted before
the company to which Jnnot belonged, and.
running his eyes along the line, be asked il
there was one of them who could write Junot
raised his cap aud bowed, upon which he was
called out and conducted to the right of the
line, where the musicians were; and here
large drum was set on end, paper, pen and
ink furnished, and the youthful soldier was
directed to write. He took the pen and dashed
on the despatch in clear, round, handsome
hand, and was just beginning to write the
closing signature when a cannon ball-a for
ty-two-pound round shot-tote up the earth
close to his left foot covering him and the
drum-head with dirt. Without SO much as
the quivor Of finger, without a perceptible
hesitation, the writer gave the paper hirt to
throw of the gravel, and then finished the
message, laGghingly saying as he did so,
That dirt is rather too coarse for blotting
sand; but it has done no damage" And
he folded the missive and directed il; after
which be handed it up to his com man der. who

terday-The Work Accomplished.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The National Stock
mems convention continued its session to-
day. The secretary read a letter from Prof.
Law, of Cornell college, attacking the work
of the bureau of animal industry, created by
the last congress, which created discussion,
and motion to tender the writer a vote Of
thanks was tabled.
The committee on award Of Judge Cooley,
arbitrator for fxingthe rate by rail for dressed
beef considerably higher than that for
live cattle, reported that the two rates should
be the same, and stated that the health Of
beef eaters depended In a measure on having
the cattle slaughtered as near TO the fatten-
ing point as possible, to avoid unsanitary
conditions produced by transportation on
hoof Adopted.
The committee on resolutions presented
an extended report on the question of fenc-
ing ranges of government land. 1t is set
forth that obtaining permanent tenure Of
these lands in some legal form, is of the
greatest importance 10 the future Of stock
raising; that these lands are largely unfit
for agriculture and not reclaim
able by irrigation on account
of the broken surface and lack Of running
streams; that the Colorado and Wyoming
stock men have two 5000, 900, 600 in
vested in the business, adding TO the taxable
wealth Of the country and lowering the price
of beef; that they would welcome an oppor-
tunity to buy or rent these lands for a term
of years; that the committee to go to Wash
ington to suggest stock legislation be in
structed to endeavor TO secure the passage of
a law permitting the rental TO stock owners,
who are actual occupants of grazing lands
between the Missouri river and Pacific coast
for the longest period possible at the lowest
obtainable rate. Such rental not to interrupt
or suspend the operation of existing laws for
presumption or homestead; the rentals being
subject to such entries. The committee was
instructed, before submitting such law 10
congress, TO ask the assent of the Colorado
Stock Growers association, those of Wyo-
ming, Dakota, Montana, Idaho Nevada and
Nebraska being represented in the conven-
ton.
Resolutions of greeting to the stock men
to assemble in ST. Louis Monday, depre-
eating the division of interests, and ap-
pointing a committee to confer with COM
mittee from that body with view to union
were also adopted.
