parent in the proceedings, the chief OF
which WAS the sentimental belief that
the result of the coming election will
be to check further alienation OF the
revenue law, which it is claimed IA
cilitates business confidence. On the
other hind, the adverse influence of
the sterling exchange market and the
engagement of ST., 900 600 gold for ship.
ment to Europe was felt throughout
the week and caused basis for more
or less Learish activity. This, how
ever, was confined mainly to short
sales of the grangers stocks and was
not productive Of real liquidation.
The only prOmin Mt member of the
list in which depression of any &C.
count was produced was general
electric, which was apparently af-
fected by conditions peculiar to itself
and which are not clearly understood
by the street.
Sugar, the most imporI specu-
lative stock, furnished more or less
encouragement by it's course. Its re-
covery is ascribed to insjde buying
and the report is Freely circulated that
the management are satisfied that
further agitation of the free silver bill
lie likely, aud were therefore satisfied
to re.purchase stock at the recent de-
cline. Intimations are however heard
that the movement is due to an out

fact that che professional traders are
inclined 10 look f,vOrehly on the
prospective results of the election as
far az hey will affect the fortunes OF
the sugar company.

Eminent Physician

DR.. A. ii. Flower, the eminent Bos-
ton physician, who enjoys in common
with his elder brother the wonderful
gift of diagnosing disease by psy-
chometric power, has resigced his pc
sition as president CT the R. G. Flower
Medical company, with which he has
been associated for nearly 10 years,
and will devote his entire vine ro bis
private practice, desiring 10 cone into
closer touch with his pa; tents, feeling
that the physician who prescribes
should IN all cases be the Que who
diagnoses the disease of the invalid.
1t will be remembered that when a
few years ago DR.. r. @. Flower retired
from his practice, DIR. A. H carried on
the enormous business the brothers
had built up and when two years later
the elder brother desired TO return TO
the practice, DR.. A. H. Flower con-
tinued his position as president of the
r. @. Flower Medical company and
took charge of the office pract CO while
he also superintendent the enor>
nous correspondence with pas
tients. He has probably pre-
scribed for more persons during
the last three years than any other
physician In America The remark
able success which has uniformly
marked his practice is largely due to
his possession, in addition TO liberal
medical education. of the wonderful
intuitive gift which enables him to
diagnose the disease of the patient
without the invalid having to detail
the symptoms. He loves his profess
sion, and gives his patients that cons
scientious personal attention which
means so much to the invalid, but
which is too often wanting where doc
tors have succeeded in building up a
large and lucrative practice.
Dr. A. ii. Flower has national rep
utation. His patients are in every
state in the Union. Our readers are
well aware of the many cures this
specialist has made in our state. Those
needing medical aid will be glad to
know they can consult him at tie fol-

trolling factor is that no demand as
yet promises to clear away the enor-
nous surplus.
Corn declined 1-2e all during the
week with receipts not quarter of

Pork products were small and weaker
with lard at lac lower. Cotton sold
at 8. 81 on Thursday, and with Elli-

stock of 100000 in sight and the esti.
mated yield of over 5000, 900 bales de.

Domestic exports from this city in
two weeks of October were 1Sper cent
less than last year, while the increase
in value OF imports has been ~ per
cent, Provisions and cotton gained,
but oil decreased, and in minor pro.
duets exports in September declined
16 per cent. The increase of imports,
exclusive of sugars, was over % per

of October aU New York over 43 per

purchase and q decrease in sales of
products abroad the market for tor

affected by Withdrawals OF capital or

GORDON, Tex, Oct. 19.-No. 8
the westbound passenger train of the
Texas and Pacific, due at Gordon at
1919 p. H., and about on time, was
robbed by four men today few min
utes before noon three miles east OF
Gordon. The train being stopped at
such an unusual place, J. w. Cooper
sprang off on the north side to learn
the cause of the detention. ae was
greeted by gruff command to get
back on the train. Believing it 10 be
a joke of an acquaintance he answered
by laugh, but Immediately the rob~
bers enforced their commands by
levelling two guns upon Cooper. Any
further interference of their plans was
prevented by occasional shots along
the sides of the train.
The safe in the Pacific express car
contained the money in transit for
Thurber with which the Texas and
Pacific Coal company are TO pay their
employees tomorrow. The robbers
having captured the section gang,
tagged the train aud forced j. L.
hockaley. section foreman, to enter the
express car and knock off the combi.
nation of the safe, but even then they
failed to open it and succeeded in
making but light haul. No one was
hurt.
Cooper thinks the robbery could
have been prevented if one or two pas"
sengers had been armed with shotguns
and had resisted, The robbers were
medium in size, well dressed and left
toward the south. No pursuit. The
point at which the train was stopped
is just at the foot of Clayton nouns
tam, about two miles east of this place,
at which an east bound was robbed a
few years ago.
The Thurber safe was the goal, but
could not be opened ana though badly
disfgured is still in the ring. The ex-
press packages stolen were worth be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, it is sup
posed. The men were familiar looks
ing ard two of them were known to
the passenger by feature; the other
two were strangers. The parties are
undoubtedly the same that robbed the
store at EGasville or near there some
days ago.
