Good Indications for Cotton.

The annual auction sale of cotton goods
for Bliss. Fabyan g. Co. was held yester-
day at the auction rooms of Wilmerding,
Hoguet & Co.. No. ca White street. New
York. These sales are held each year for
the purpose Of feeling the trade of the coun-
try. Last year 1900 packages were sold
This year only 1900 were offered. The
reason for this, according to Col Bliss. is
that most of the large mills have only been
running on half time for long time back.
He says that $1,000 workmen watched yes
terday's sale, as it will probably decide
whether they will have u good winters
work, or whether the majority of the larg-
est mills in the eastern states. of which
Bliss, Fabyan Il Co. are the agents, will
shut down.
The auction rooms We're crowded and the
bidding was the most spirited which has
ever characterized these sales. Col. Bliss
said that the prices fully came up to his
expectations, and he considers the result
of the sale an evidence that the country is
bare of goods, and that the trade will be
active buyers this winter. The receipts
will probably foot up over s1,OOOOOO.

severing several small arteries and veins
in the face. Mr. Robey was injured some
four weeks ago in arresting some tramps
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, since
which time he has been compelled to walk
with cane. The officer grappled with
the man and struck him over the head
three or four times. but did not disable
him. After cutting Rabey the man started
to run, with the officer in pursuit. Owing
to his lameness and becoming weak from
the loss of blood, Robey was compened
to STOP but two or three men had by tt, ;
time come up and joined in the chase.
After running about two miles the man
was overtaken and brought back, he hav-
ing, however, thrown the murderous knife
away. Mr.. Robey was taken to the office
of DIR. Hunt, who, assisted by Drs. Cron-
miller and Biser, attempted to stop the
flow OF blood, without much success. The
man who did the cutting was evidently a
German of education and appears to be a
musician, although he claimed to be fish
erman on his way from Washington to
Baltimore. He gave his name as Thur
mann, but nothing was found on him to
establish his identity. There was found in
his pocket an envelope addressed to Mr..
Myers, 40 New Jersey avenue Washing
ton, mailed from Georgetown, ID. c., No
velmber =, from G. w. Cisseli & Co. He had
several maps and two books with draw
ingS and diagrams, with some writing in
~ from the
of the man, he would be taken for an an
archist. A hearing will be held today,
when some additional facts may be
brought out and the identity of the man
established. Possibly he is Jack the
Slasher."
There was considerable talk of calling
in Judge Lynch, but cooler counsels pre-
vailed, and the law will be allowed to take

Otto Meyer of this place committed sui
eide in Philadelphia this week, dying on
Tuesday No cause is assigned for his
rash act, as he left here in the best of
spirits. Meyer had lived with DR.. Lanahan
for i've years as overseer and recently
was employed by Milstead & Son. He was
engaded to be married to Miss Anna
kruhn, who was in Baltimore having her
wedding outfit prepared Meyer had just
purchased farm near here, on which he
intended to reside after his marriage next
week. Having no relatives in this part of
the country, what disposition will be made
of the body is not yet known.
DR.. Lanahan is improving, having gained
considerable strength during the past few
days. He is now out of immediate danger.
