Cotton receipts are more than
a million bales in advance OF the
receipts OF one year ago this date,
nearly two million advance over
the receipts Of two years ago and
nearly four hundred thousand
greater than the immense crop OF
1891. With considerably over six
and a quarter millions received
within the past four months there
is every reason to conclude that the
totals of this seasons crop will be
the heaviest yet reported. All
this means the continued depres-
sion Of cotton values and empha-
sizes the wisdom Of the declaration
that corn and hogs should take the
place of cotton with the Texas far
mer, at least until the equilibrium
is partially restored.

Houston prides herself on the
number of her tramps and beggars,
and the Post of that city accepts
the situation and the nuisance
thereof as an indication that the
city is growing, hands down. If
anything has yet been discovered
in Houston that is not an indica-
tion Of it's marvellous improve
ment the Post has not found it out.
Its concert dives, it's swarms of
mosquitoes, its importunate beg
gars, it's lack Of good water sup
plies, its eXtortionate assurances
charges, its lack of drainage, it's
hordes of unemployed and tramps,
are all cited by the Post as sure and
certain signs Of a prosperity such
as no other city in the state has
shown. It is just such evidence as
a we'll filled cemetery would be of
the overweening healthiness of the
location in which it rears it's white
shafts.

the trio went into the adjoining cell, which

NEW YORK, Oct Hubert F. Allen, a
financier Of Brighton, England, the man.
ager of the Land and Property Investment
Syndicate of America, with offices at Nos.
155 and 157 Cannon street. London. was ar
rested yesterday morning by Central Office
detectives and arraigned this morning in
the Tombs Police Court. The arrest was
made on a telegram from Chief of Police
Frederick Johnson, of Des Moines, Ia,
charging Allen with obtaining $3.50 from
DR.. b. Lyons, of Des Moines, on false pre-
lenses. The company of which the defend
ant is the manager, was organized for the
purpose of interesting English capital in
American farm loans. Allen came here
from Omaha about two weeks ago, and was
about to sail for England yesterday on the
Lucania. He was arrested in his room at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel He admitted his
identity and said there must be some mis-
take. He characteriZeS his arrest as ma
licious, and, If anything, an attempt TO set
tie civil matter by criminal proceedings.
The amount he is charged with stealing
was, he alleges, given TO him for prelim-
mary expenses. No claim has been made
on him by Lyons, and his arrest was the
first intimation ne had of the latter's dis
satisfaction. He will have a further exam
ination tomorrow morning.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at Cam

at Harvard College in 1929 and began the
study of law, which ne soon abandoned for
that of medicine. After taking mis- degree
of NJ D., he spent some time in the hos
pitals in Paris and other European coun-
tries. He returned to Boston in 1886 and
began practcing. In 1888 he was elected
professor of anatomy and physiology in
Dartmouth College, and in 1S47 was appoint
ed to a similar professorship in the medi-
cal school of Harvard University, from
which he retired in 1882
But it is chiefly as a writer that DR..
Holmes is known. AS early as 1881 his con-
tributions appeared in various periodicals
Iished by the delivery of metrical essay
entitled Poetry, which was followed by
others in rapid succession. In 1851 he began
in the Atlantic Monthly a series of arti-

contributed largely to current medical lit

reviews, and for long time held warm
place in the hearts of the people as q lee

MURDER OR SUICIDE.
Mysterious Double Tragedy in Middle
town On. w. Cafe.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, Oct. IA mys-
terious murder and suicide or double murder
occurred in this city this morning. John
Tierney was found with a bullet hole in
his right temple. His wife was lying near
him with a bullet hole in her left breast
while pistol lay few feet away. The af-
fair occurred in a cafe owned and con-
Quoted by Mrs. Tierney. An aged uncle
Robert Flynn, awoke at $50 o. clock this
morning and went down stairs to the kit
chen in the basement and built a fire.
While thus engaged he heard a report,
which did not seem to him, he said, like
that of pistol and the fall Of body. A
moment later 1t was followed by another
report. He sent a young man, who had
just come in the back door of the cafe.
young man returned reporting nothing.
Shortly afterwards Mrs Tierneys son
Thomas, who was said to have been asleep
on a sofa in the kitchen, went up and
found two dead bodies. His mother lay in
the parlor, with her feet in the bedroom
adjoining, and his stepfather lay in the
center of the parlor. He ran to his mother
and found the body still warm. Tierney
was gasping and frothing at the mouth.
and suicide now looks to the authorities
like double murder. Tierney married
Mrs Mcclure, a widow, five weeks ago.
Her son Thomas was very angry at The
marriage and left the house for two weeks.
About the time of the marriage he took
forty -four-calibre British bulldog revolver
and threw 1t behind trunk in closet in
his bedroom. He claims that no one knew
1T was there but himself. Mrs. Tierney

when she died. This not likely, how
ever, after she married Tferney. There
were two others in the house who say
they did not hear any pistol shots. Young

mother was murdered by her husband, who,
he asserts, committed suicide

The Man Who Wants to Whip Corbett
Has Another Talk.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.-Fitzsimmons
arrived here tonight and talked freely of
his controversy with Corbett, whom he is to
meet in New York on Thursday with refer
ence to the proposed fight. When asked if
the date suited as set by Corbett after
July !, Bob said: mo, that date does not
suit for several reasons. In the first place,
there are others to be considered besides
Mr.. Corbett. What about the club? They
must have some protection. Not one could
or would afford to put up purse of $4,000
except at such a time as they saw a way
in which to make it back again. The purse
has already been offered, but July would
be very late date for New Orleans, and
the club could not give such an amount,
as they would rot be able TO get it in at
the gate 1t is for them to set the date
and not Mr.. Corbett, and he must make his
arrangements accordingly. Just what he
may do in this matter cannot say. but 1
will not agree to any such indefinite post
ponement as after the 1st of July. That
may mean at any time or no time, just as
II suits Mr.. Brady. Why he set such
late day i am at a loss to know. He GER
tainly is not booked up to then, and could
have made it earlier. had he desired.
