the strength of general bad weather
throughout the South following the
present cold snap. 1t is also believed
that some of the old bulls who got out
on tho last advance are going back at
present prices. This buying causef
our market to close steady, about6
points higher than yesterday. Ifis
noticeable that while New York
closed points up on the Aear
months, far positions are to
6 points higher, showing the
restoration of confidence IN the later
positions. which until the pfobable
date of the enforcement of tbe Hatch
bill became known, were very much
neglected.
Port receipts today are $4,000
against $4,000 last year. New Orleans
expects tomorrow 1000 against $500
and 200 at all ports. There is some
talk that interior banks are pressing
holders to dispose of the cotton they
have been carrying and the money
thus locked up in cotton is required
for other uses.
There was further debate on the
Hatch bill today without any action.

FORTY-NINE LIVES LOST,
SOLDIER TRAIN BURNED ON A Rus
SIAN RAILROAD.
Train Running at High Speed and the
Coaches Enveloped in Flames-Many
Who Jumped Off Were Killed ana
Those in the Cars We're Roasted.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. ia fatal
railway accident occurred today on
the line between Slattusk and Sa-
mara. The train was composed of sew
Aral cars filed with recruits and was
running from Slattusk to Samara,
when flames burst from the foremost
car. The train was going at full speed
and the fire swept backward. In a
few minutes all the cars were ablaze.
The engineer for some unaccountable
reason did not stop the train unit he
had ran a considerable distance. In
the meantime there was scene OF in
.describable confusion in the car. The
recruits, or at least as many of them
as could, escaped from the windows
an0 doors, some of them landing un-
injured in the heavy snow banks,
while others who landed in the clear
track were killed. Those who
were unGble to get out
of the cars were burned
to death The train was entirely con-
sumed. Some of the mon were terribly
burned before they jumped. When
the confusion had somewhat subsidized
the officer in charge of the recruits,
who saved himself by jumping, called
the roll of the men, and it was found
that forty.nine of them were dead and
twenty terribly burned and otherwise
injured.

horse home. He drew quite sam of
money at the bank, remarking that
he had trade in view, and has not
been seen or heard of since. His fam
ily nor any one else know anything
of his wherea bouts. His family were
not uneasy as he spoke of might hav-
ing to go to court, but when they
learned that he had not they became
uneasy. There are no reasons for his
leaving home as his family relations
have always been the best. He had
heen ill for some time and his family
think that he set 1t in his head to go
somewhere.

McElroy q Gilbert on the Condition Of
the Market.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 17.-McElroy
& Gilbert say:
Futures-That many who covered

of the passage of the Hatch bill with
in couple of days, replaced their con-
tracts by buying in Liverpool today as
shown by the comparative steadiness
of deliveries there which opened to
264c 10 wer in the face of our decline OF
yesterday, but finally closed barely
steady at loss of 3-64c on the day.
The business done in spots was the
smallest of any day this season, the
total sales being only 5000 bales with
prices marked 1-16c lower.
Our market showed dispo-
ition to recover encouraged by the re-
ante gained from the delayed opera
tion Of the Hatch bill until July
should that measure pass, but the
weakness of Liverpool and heavy
movement at ports and interior towns
started afresh, selling 30 that the
opening advance of points was lost

RAILROAD POOLING.

RAILROAD POOLING.
Patterson OF Tennessee. In q report
of the majority OF the house commerce
COMMITTEES on the bill allowing pool
ing, says on one hand 1t has been in
sisted that to allow it would enable
roads to put and obtain high rates.
On the other 1t is contended that il
would result in more just and equi-
table conduct of business of these
transportation companies, would not
increase rates and would have the
effect to prevent rebates and dis
ordinations against small ship
pers. The committee are
OF the opinion that under the arrange
ment provided for no crime will befaII
the public and an opportunity be
given to intelligentls solve the much
mo0ted problem. Lind of Minnesota
and Mallory of Florida represent the
minority and protest against the pool
ing section of the bill as proposing to
legalize railroad wrecking'' and
stock speculations by authorizing not
only agreements for division and ap-
pOrtionmeut of net and gross earnings
among carriers themselves, but also
authorizing carriers to divide and ap-
portion these among other carriers.
Under these provisions the stockhold-
ers will be as much at the mercy Of
railroad managers as the public.

cent visit TO that locality to witness de-
cided Improvement in its appearance,
made. learned, from O small appropria-
ton by the Council and also through a
few of the lot-holders. This is most
creditable indeed; but much remains yet
10 be done to place this " city OF the dead "
in a neat and clean condition, aud 1T Is
earnestly hoped that those owning lots
will now come forward and do some little
at least in putting their own burying-
places in order. Ii is true many of these
iot-owners are poor, yet some effort should
be made to beautIfy and make attractive
the resting-places of the loved dead. The
planting or few flowers and the cutting
off the dried grass and weeds would help
greatly 10 add to the appearances OF the
cemetery. even II no more could be done.
| heartily approve q suggestion made for a
meeting of the lot-holders, az which. per-
haps, some plan could be adopted for Q
manent-improvsment scheme, and
trust that some Influential citizen will
take the matter in hand. Let US in some
