Lehman, Durt & Co., cotton factors of
Montgomery, Ala, have issued circular in
which they say: The general cotton crop Of
the country the present year promises 10 be
the largest ever produced in the United
States but because in the stocks now carried
by spinners there is so much poor cotton
they will be compelled to buy of the first
picking this year, in order to get a better
grade with which to work off their old
stock, so that for time at least, there will
be good demand for the new crop and at
high prices 1t looks reasonable to us that
cotton will bring higher prices from now un-
til the first of October than thereafter for
the next season.

Quartet of Women Murderers
Hanged in New York.
Patrick Packenham, James N lin Ferd-
nand Carolia and John L wis the four
New York murderers, have been hanged.
Patrick Packenham, the oldest Of the four
murderers, was about 60 years of age. He
murdered his wife by cutting her throat,
March 13 OF last year, because she refused to
give money to him with which to buy
liquor.
Jack Lewis, the colored murderer, killed
Alice Jackson, mulatto, on July II, 1885,
because she would no longer live with him.
He attempted to murder her several months
before he succeeded.
Ferdinand Carolin was a German He
murdered his wife at their rooms. She was
an lrishwoman, and he murdered her in the
most brutal and horr BILE manner He did
not try to deny the crime. All that he sal |
was that the woman was not really his wife.
They were very poor, and a number of pawn
tickets were ound upon him.
James Nolin murdered Emma Buch by
shooting Her husband was q young m :
chanic. She left him to lead a life of shame
and it was then that she met Nolin. In her
ante-mortem stat 'ment to the coroner,
Emma said that sh9 had supported Nolin
ever since she had lived with him.
All the murderers were strangled, the
deaths of Packenham and Nolin being COM
parativey painless but Carolin and Lewis
writhed and contorted for about 10 seconds
in a sickening manner.
FIR. Prendergast after the execution, said
that just before they were pinioned, Pack
enham and Nolin both said in the hearing of
the sheriff that they were guilty of the
crimes for which they were about to die;
that the penalty was deserved, and that they
died as penitents This confession they reit-
Grated when question was addressed to
them.

injured Not single employe of the con-
Germ was seriously injured. The train was
not running at high rate of speed,
probably not more than twenty miles
an hour, when the accident occurred
The trumpetings of the frightened ele--
plants were mingled with the shrieks and
cries of the men impris onedin the wreckage.
The animals were fri htened and gave ut
terance to the widest howls groans and
shrieks. The scene was enough to make the
blood of the oldest circus man run cold The
engine of the train had not left the track
and it was sent to Norwood for help. The
car continuing the elephants was the first
one d9railed, but, strange to say, not one
of the animals was hurt They were all
badly fri 5htenad, however, and gave vent
to their feelings much after the fashion Of
their human k epers They We're driven into
field near the track, and kept there until
dayli hit. The car i'll which the camels were
Jared badly. Two of the best camels were
killed and another badly injured. The ami
mails that were not hurt were got out and
driven into the adjoining field with the
elephants Most of the horses belonging TO
the show were in the wrecked cars, and the
work of liberdting those that remained alive
was most difficult. Mr.. Bailey was ON the
last section of the circus train The pretty
trick ponies and the mule which deli GIFTED
everybody were killed.

eyes, ia were scalded or badly burned,
80 had fingers cut off. The death roll

said to be far below the actuality.

A famous newspaper correspondent
has been studying the peculiarities of
great men in this country and in Europe
He finds that all the greatest men of the
world have big noses. Bismarck and
Pasteur have tremendous noses, but
Gladstone stands without a rival. The
great Englishman's proboscis is big all
over. For thickness, breadth and solid
ity it cannot be matched anywhere in the
world. Napoleon always selected big
nosed men for his generals. Gladstone
would have delighted him.
