Two Negroes Jump OF Train While in Mo-

srecial 10 the Gazette.
PARIS. TEX, Oct. 2S.-A serious ac-
cideut happened on an east-bound Texas
and Pacific train about two miles east of
here on Sunday afternoon, the meager
details of which have just been made
known here. Among the passengers on
the train were two negroes seeking en-
ployment as cotton pickers. They had,
1t seemed, never been on a tram, and
seeing a great deal of cotton in the fields
they were passing, desired to get Of and
hunt work, SO they walked out on the
platform and jumped off. The train
ives stopped and backed down TO where
they were lying; one was crushed into q
shapeless mass and the other was badly
injured, but still alive. Their bodies
were placed on the train and carried TO
GAINESVILLE. Neither of their names
could be learned from our informant,
who was a passenger on the train.

New YORK, Oct. 2S.-Heavy selling
orders were put IN Union Pacific just be-
fore noon, the rumor being that safes
were based on inside information In re-
gard TO the September statement. This
statement is understood to be unfavor-
able. and earnings are reported light.
There was no support to the stock, and
the only orders were traders, who had
sold before at higher prices.
London continued bulllsh on our
stocks this morning. Cabled prices for
Americans showed advances. Again 1t
looked as though the financial sky was
clearing in Europe. II Is only to be
hoped that this view may not again turn
out TO have been premature. Our mar
ket opened in a rather undecided FASH

half hour, however, the buoyant spirit
OF yesterday afternoon took hold again.
and the market advanced. Considerable
disappointment was felt when it was
learned that the sugar trust case had
been postponed until Thursday in conse-
judge. This means that for two days
more at least holders OF securities of
every kind are liable to see the market
for these securities weakened and de-
morallzed by few gamblers
in sugar certificates. The improve
ment in the market did not
last. London sold some stocks.

men stoutly held to the notion that under
the circumstances there was no necessity of
giving way to any great extent, while on
the other hand there were statesmen that
made the concession asked, especially if the

New York, Feb. "a Special Telegram to
THE BEE. -STooKs-There was q fair inter-
est and q we'll distributed business in stocks
at the opening today, with Louisville &
Nashville, Rock Island, New England, St.
Paul and Burlington & Quincy most promi-
nent. First prices as compared with the
closing figures of Friday showed very ir-
regular changes, Louisville g. Nashville
being down e per cent, while Cotton OIL
was up q like amount. There was con slider
able pressure to sell IN early dealings and
fractional declines occurred all over the list
New England and Louisville g. Nashville
leading with 5s per cent each in the regular
list and Sugar with 1 per cent in the I'M
listed department. Tennessee Coal was ex-
ceptional and after opening at 21S
per cent at 69h IL retired TO GO, recovering
slightly with the rest OF the list. The re-
covery was full and complete as a rule and
Changers were specially prominent in the
upward movement, Burlington rising l per
cent from its lowest figure to l07X, followed
closely by Rock Island, which again crossed
90, ana St. Paul, Chicago, st. Lous g. Pitts.
burg preferred also showed marked strength
and rose from 50s4 to 52Il. In the hour to 10
o'clock the market was weak all around.
Sugar touched 641S with a slight rally aud
Burlington dropped back q to 1925. Rock
Island again followed and touched S9H but
recovered to s9Js or n better than the close
last week. The coal stocks attracted more
than their share OF attention. Tennessee Coal
dropped rapidly from 60 to so against 691S
this morning, a net loss of 1917 per cent.
There was a feeble recovery Of l or Q per
cent. Colorado coal sympathized and de-
clined from 45I4 to 43 but afterward recov.
cred most of the loss. Reading also showed
a dropping tendency and dropped to 80, but
rallied later. The stock market was much
changed after midday. Tennessee Coal went
of with a whirl to 81 but recovered to So.
There was an impression that the large short
interest was nervous and covering under
attack on a few specialties. Buying in rail
road shares became quite general. Burling-
ton led the advance. and went up to lO3s<,
closing at 1885 Rock Island followed to
