Judge of the District Court, Felix
VOORHEES,, and the Mayor of the
town, A. V. Fleming.
Following in the next carriage
was Albert Bienvenu, Editor of
the Messenger, and Secretary of
the Board of Trade, and F. Rous-
seau, President of the Oil Works.
Then came chariots No l and 2,
specially built for the Board of
Trade, by Mr.. Alfred Hitter. an
artist of much taste. The first re-
presented mountainous scene on
which were grouped mythyologi-
cal characters. The second re-
presented the elements of COM
merce, and on this float were also
figures typifng the subject.
The next float was one of strik-
ing features. 1t represented the
trades and industries of Harrison
burg, on which were placards
showing that the burg can furnish
all the needs and Injuries that
man can desire. The old wooden
boot of our friend j. Fitzgerald
provoked march merriment and
proved a catchy ad for him. The
national colors were profusely dis
played on the neat frame, and
made one of the pretty scenes of
the day. The contributors were
the merchants; the designer and
builder was Pierre Martinez, a
workman of much taste and skill.
Following this was the floats of
the Oil Works. The first repre-
scented the raw as we'll as the fin
ished product of the mills. Erin

cotton, with the products of the
mill we'll arranged, on top of
which were five of the expert
workers of the mill in their work
ing clothes. The next, and the one
that elected the most applause,
cotton bale, around which a drap-
cry of white ginned cotton slant
ingly falling off, with tucked gar
lands. On the top of the bale was
erected cupola of exquisite de-
sign in which, in appropriate
costume, was seated King Cotton.
These two displays did credit to
Messrs. F. Rousseau and S. Daba.

chief designer, and his assistants

nu and the other employees of the
mill some forty or more, who Ger.
tainly did all in their power to
make their floats credit of the
mill, and they admirably succeed,
ed.
In the next float the spirit OF
enterprise of Mr.. j. B. Ferrau
was strikingly manifested by an
elaborate display of the national
colors, on a raised throne, to reach
which was a flight of steps, neatly
ornamented, and seated on the
throne was high officer in the
service of the King. He was ele.
gantly attired, as we'll as his nu-
merous attendants. The float was
much admired.
The next float represented CO.
lossal figure of woman, with two
angels at her feet as if ready to
fly. The figure is in the attitude
of bidding the angels go forth and
proclaim the fact that X. Schwartz
is one of the Kings favorites.
This float was neatly made and
was the work of Mr.. Alfred Hit.

The Early Trading Was feysrish and
 Prices Were Irregular.


 New York, Aug. e2.-The early trad ing at the Stock Exchange was charac- terized by feverishness. and the course of prices was very irregular. A drive was made at the start against the grangers and Sugar. and the bears were more in evidence than for days past, They accomplished little. however. and after the expiration of the first hour of business they were compelled to net on the defensive. Their sales in the carly trading brought about decline of is@ < per cent. Missouri Pacific leading the downward movement, but the declining tendency was soon checked and near Il o'clock speculation became steadier.
 In the afternoon the impression gain ed ground that the president would sign the German bill, and the opera tors showed a disposition to branch out once more. Distillers lead at this time, one firm taking 5000 shares at 2l. As the concern has been identified with the negotiations looking for the placing of the s5,000, 900 joan said to be needed by the company to get it's product out of bond. the transaction attracted attcn- tion. Sc far as the loan is concerned the street Is as much mixed as ever. Operators can be fotRd who declare that it has been placed. while others are equally certain that the company can not get the money here. In the mean time, pending a statement from official sources. the manipulators of the stock are milking the street at great rate. Sugar was forced down F to l12a at the opening, but soon recovered, and on good buying advanced to HAS. In the last hour 1t suddenly sold off to ll3h, and later returned to and closed at 113%. .
 Railroad issues conspicuous in the af- ternoon rise were the grangers, Louis vile and Nashville. Lake Shore. Missou- Il Pacific, Northern Pacific preferred, New England, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred. The improvement in these ranged from k to ? per cent. American Cotton oil figured more prominently in the dealings. the common moving up 2A to S4, and the preferred 1% to 77. Rubber preferred jumped 4 to 95. The afternoon rise was materially assisted by the efforts of the bears to cover shorts put out early in the day.
 Them arket closed firm, the sudden reaction of 1h per cent. in Sugar hay ing had no influence. The recent sharp rise in silver was considered bull argument in Some quarters.

HawksviIle, KY, Oct. s.-As the ex-
cursion train from the Owensboro fair
arrived at Powers station, a few miles
west of this city, last night, a terrible
race fight occurred between thirty
drunken negroes and a few white men,
as a result or which seven negroes are
said 10 have been killed. It seems the
negroes became angered because they
were forced to ride in the colored COM
partment, and as they neaI'ed their
home station they made a rush to get
into the coach for white people. This
frightened the women and timid men,
who ran through the train. AT this
point, Deputy United States Marshal
Moses Burlington, who had his family
on the train, met the negroes and at
tempted to quiet them. The negroes
then began shooting as they got off the
train. Deputy Burlington and Squire
Aldrich, both of this city, and Marshal
Jones and Colonel John Patterson, of
Lewisport, and half a dozen men from
this county, then began firing into the
negroes. AS the train pulled out, the
negroes shot all the windows out Of one
coach and tae white men emptied their
guns into the negroes, who were
punched on the platform. No one ON
The train was hurt, but it is thought at
least seven negroes are dead and many
others injured. One white man on the
train used his knife. which was covered
with blood when he came in. These
statements are from the lips of United
States Marshal Burlington.

TO SHIPPERS OF LIVE POULTRY.

Commission merchants would like to
call attention of shippers to few
points. Shippers should see that tha.
coops are in good. condition before US,
ing, SO that they are not liable to come
apart while in transit as they are
roughly handled sometimes. The GOODS
should also be high enough to allow
whatever kind of poultry is shipped
room enough to stand up. Low coops
should not be used, it not alone being
cruel, but a great deal of poultry is
lost every year by suffocation. Coops
should not be overcrowded. In ship
ping hens md ROSTERS they should be
kept separate. Nothing depreciates the
value OF fine coop of hens as much
as TO have a number of old cocks
among them. Shippers often wonder
why they do not get the highest mar
ket price for their stock. In most case
this is the reason. Good stock alwayR
commands a quick sale at best pricesN
Poultry should be shipped so as to
arrive on the market from Tuesday TO
FRIDAY. Receipts generally increase to-
ward the end of the week, and there
is enough carried over stock ON hand
Saturday to supply the demand Mer-
chants, rather than carry stock over
Sunday, would sell at a sacrifice. as the
stock, when in coops, loses considerable

ROBBED IN HIS OWN SALOON.
Daring and Successful Work in st.
Louis.


st Louis Oct. S.-A daring highway
robbery took place last night at the
saloon of Hermann L. Feucht, 1901
Chouteau avenue, at S:45 o'clock. At
that hour there were present Feucht
and several quarry laJborers. The front
door suddenly opened and a tall man,
wearing a SLOUGH hat and a handker-
chief over his face as a mask, walked
in and was closely followed by five
more men, all wearing masks. The
men held drawn revolvers and quickly
covered Feucht and the men in the
saloon. The entrance of the robbers
was SO sudden that the saloon-keeper
and his companions were taken COM
pletely unawares, and were so fright
ened that the thought of offering re-
eistance never entered their minds.
They submitted like lambs to the die
tates of the leader, who ordered them
to throw up their hands. The victims,
six in number, were then placed in
line. and while Eve of the robbers kept
them covered with revolvers, one of
them went through their pockets.
From the pockets of Feucht, to-
gether with the receipts of ten days
sales, which were taken from the till,
sS5 was secured.

Washington, Oct. S.-The crisis of the
China-Japan war is looked for within
the next ten days or two weeks by
those most interested and best inform
ed on the contest. The legations of the
two countries are expecting daily to
hear that the decisive battle has been
fought. This is based on the fact that
the japanese have been gradually clos
ing in around Pekin and the invading
army is compelled by force of circum-
stances to strike their blow at once or
not at all. The intense cold which
comes on or about the middle Of Octo-
Der makes this imperative. The Jap
anese climate is very mild, even in win
ter, and the Japanese troops are wholly
unprepafed for the rigorous climate
above Pekin which is due within two
weeks.
The Chinese look upon this as one Of
their defenses and the Japanese fully
appreciate that it compels them to con-
centrate their campaign for this year
into the next few weeks, and, if pos
sible, days. For that reason they are
prepared to make heroic efforts to de-
eide the contest at once. They are
without the heavy clothing, camp
equipment, ETC., for a campaign in the
bitter cold.

Sensational BOND Story.

New York, Oct. S.-A report was cir
culated in Wall street this afternoon
that the reorganization committee OF
the Chicago & Northern Pacific COM
pany had discovered $4,000 600 of the
company's bonds had disappeared. 1t Is
believed this is another story revived.
The facts are that the bonds alluded,
to are those which are in question in
the settlement of accounts between the
receivers Of the Chicago & Northern
Pacific road. The bonds are held as
collateral and both reorganization COM
mittees knew who held them. The
litigation in regard to the bonds is still
in progress and is to a certain extent a
factor in delaying the reorganization
of tyOth roads
