oring to get to see his sweetheart who
was working for Mr.. Bandy at the
time.

McElroy & Gilbert on the Condition Of
the Market

McElroy & Gilbert on the Condition Of
the Market.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.-McElroy
& Gilbert say:
Futures-Cables today confirmed
the rumor current yesterday that Mr..
Neill intended issuing another bulle-
tin on the crop. The figures given
are 6, 10000 for the actual yield Of this
season, plus $50, 900 carried over from
last year, which wonld make a COM
mercial crop for 6,250,00O bales. 1t
will, no doubt, be remembered that
Mr.. Neill, in his previous esti'
mates, figured ths balance
brought over from last crop at 100000
bales, and this has been considered
generally as less than the actual sur
plus carried over. The advance that
was expected to follow did not ma
terialize, as Liverpool closed on y to
3-6id higher than yesterday, while
the sales of only 1000 bales of spots
furnished practical evidence that
spinners are MOI inclined to
give themselves much concern in
the matter of crop estimate. Those
who bought yesterday in the full ex-
pect alton OF boom in Liverpool were
sadly disappointed, and finding the
market dragging one they cold quite
freely, causing a drop OF ten points,
from which there was slight recov.
ery. When the spot market was
posted spots showed fair demand
and rather good sales for the half day
with middling at 8 3.8 cents.
1t does not look exactly safe to sell
contracts four months hence at same
price. April closed onight at 937, OF
s points under yesterday. New York
closed Is lower. Spot sales here are
20, 2O5 by factors and 1850 to arrive
Port receipts today will probably be
about 10000 against 5000 last year
New Orleans expects on Monday 55O(
against $3.50 last year and 20, 900 at al
ports. 1t is believed in some
quarters that the interior movement
for the coming week will be larger
than expected, ard that port receipts
may exceed 100000 bales against 100,
600 last year, but it is well not to for
get that after the present week the
comparison with last year must b'
strongly against this year and if WI
have q continuance of the spot de
mand here during the past few day
we would not think advisable to be
short as the market would be under
the circumstances, easily susceptible
to rapid spurts on any indication o
freer buying by spinners.

LLANo, Tex, Jan. H.-Information
was received recently by leading
citizen of Llano from an official of the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande railroad
stating that if the same inducements
were still open that were offered some
time ago by Brentwood, San Saba,
Llano and Fredericksburg that the
company would seriously consider the
construction of the road south to
Boerne. In accordance with the
wishes OF our citizens a meeting was
held yesterday in the office of Col. w.
A. H. Miller. A committee was APP
pointed consisting of G.. G. Call, w.
A. H. Miller, Henry Buttery, P. d.
Allin, II. b. Davis and r. Il. Holden
to ask representatives Of the above
named towns to meet in Llano We'd
nesday, Feb. 1, and see what can be
done. The bonus already promised
or suggested is $l5O,OOO,
with depot grounds and
right-of-way, and lnasmucn
as San Saba and Fredericksburg each
have $40, 900 ready, it is almost sure to
follow that the entire amount will he
raised. 1t is hoped that when these
gentlemen place their plans before the
business men of the other towns that
they will 90 to work at once and in-
struct a proper committee to see what
can and will be done.
There is no doubt whatever but that
Llano will take on q prosperous
growth this year.

entertainment was $50, instead OF SIS,

Ohio River Scene Of Observation-Disclosures

BELMONT, KY, Jan. 21.-The ice
gorge broke yesterday, leaving death
and destruction in its wake. The
government steamer Kirus and sew
eral barges were caught in the ice jam
and sent to the bottom of the river.
The steamer and barges are q total
wreck. Three negro deck hands who
were on the barges perished be-
fore assistance eould reach them.
The Kirus was valued at $4,000 and
the barges at $4,000. The barges were
the property of the Cairo CITY Coal
company. The Kirus left Cairo last
Sunday with two barges OF fuel for Its
feet at Ashort, and was obliged to
wait at Belmont for the breaking OF

Belmont afterward formed, and when
it broke the vessel was literally torn
to pieces.

DECATUR, lex, Jan. 2l.-The Wise
county a lance has been in session
here during the last two days. The
following resolutions were passed.:
Whereas, there is now an effort in
our state to establish so-called state
banking system, which we believe
will be detrimental to the general
business as we'll as the farming and
mechanical interests of the state;
therefore,
Resolved, That we oppose the es-
tablishment of any such system, first,
because it is in direct antagonism to
the constitution, in which that instru-
ment provides that no state shall be
permitted to issue bills of credit etc
and second, that the constitution OF
the great state of Texas provides (Sec.
8, Art. 16) emphatically that the legis-
lature shall in no case have the power
to issue treasury warrants" treas
ury notes or paper of any description
intended to circulate as money, and
further section 16, article l6, provides
that no corporate body shall hereafter
be created, renewed or extended with
banking or discounting privileges.
Whereas, it has come to our knowl'
edge through the papers of the state
of Texas that r. J. Sledge is now in
attendance at Austin during the pres
ent session of the legislature as a leg
islative committee in the interests o
or on behalf of the Alliance of thu
state of Texas, and a:
it is not in our knowl
edge that such committee
is authorized by the Alliance ane
should not be paid for out of Alliance
funds; be it therefore
{. Resolved, That we now enter this
our solemn protest, against the usur
patton of any such function OF sail
members of said committee and tina
our state A alliance should not be calico
upon to pay for any service on tn
part of any man or set of men.

STORY OF CANABALIsM.
Crew and Passengers Of Spanish sloop
Twenty seven Days Without Food.


CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.-The Times today
has a story from Colon, dated Jan. 8,
stating that for twenty-seven days
with no food and water the passengers
and crew of the sloop Juaue existed,
The survivors are Capt. Delator with
crew of three, Marine Gregorio
Mulexio, Marino Leopold Ardne and
Agapito Creese. The following pas
sengers: Marque Viscente. Jose
Jovita, Marenglina Francisco,
Vijilico Amelia, Saltenia Sc
guicre, Clotilde Rodriguez Ju-
sumo, Juana Carsquilo, Felix AL
metica. Ramon Melendez and Ane'
loisa. The following passengers per-
ished: Nicolasa and Pilas Marquee,
Carmen and Rosario Monterez, Car
mela Garcia, clique, America Olivero,
Fellippe Rodriguez and Julian. When
the wretched passengers were strong
enough to speak they nearly all de-
MED canibalism, but two of them adj
mitted it; not only admitted it, but
went into particulars. They said
that as each one grew weaker
and weaker and finally no strength
remained with which to throw the
dead ones overheard. The decayed
debris was found with the living and
taken ashore with them. Among
other things found was woman's arm
broken off Just below the elbow. The
fingers and hand tapered with some
beauty as if they belonged to a we'll
hred wonan. RI was picked almost
to the bone. They had been unable
to destroy this evidence. Instead of
being softened by their frightful suf.
fering the men grew rAore brutal day
by day. Women were insulted, and
when death finally came to their re-.
lief their bodies were thlown over
board with unnecessary brutality.
Among the rescued is one woman
who has little boy. The other wom-
en- are perfectly helpless.
