THE BOTTOMDROPPED OUT.
A Bad Break at Liverpool Causes a
Further Decline in Cotton.

The Spot Markets Dull and Lovver-A
Good Demand for Rosin az Advanced
Prices-A Rise in American Sugar
and Other Indust-ials - Gains in
Railway Stocks-The Grain Market
Dull and Declining.
Savannah, Sept. 20.-The spirits turpen-
tine market was the feature at the Board OF
Trade The sales OF 81, 500 casks which was
announced in the MORNING NEWS as having
been made Wednesday afternoon. was posted.
Rosin was in good demand at an advance on
thesix higher grades Cotton declined &c
and closed easy. Other markets were steady
Sugar declined y in all grades
American Sugar and Chicago Gas scored a
sharp rise. Tobacco asd Leather also ad-
vanced. The railway list gained 4. to "a per
cent on the day and closed firm.
The wheat market was dull and within a
narrow range, closing "a to nc below yester-
day Corn was considered too high and
opened nc below yesterdays closing. 1t be-
came fairly steady and closed &c above the
lowest of the day. The oat market was de-
pressed. Provisions fuctuated considerably
and closed unsettled.
A bad break in Liverpool to-day sent cotton
on its downward course. There appears to be
no bottom to the market, and the bears are
expecting to see January sell at cents. The
bulls are anxiously awaiting a reaction, but
the chances seem very slim for an immediate
advance. The southern spot markets were
dull and lower.
The following resume of the different mar
kets will show the tone and quotations at the
close today:
Cotton.
From actual facts bearing upon the market
there appears to be no bottom to the steady
declining price Of cotton. 1t is reported that
the south is selling futures, and the manipu
lators are hammering the options down to
the lowest possible notch. Some operators
look for a sharp reaction as soon as the bot
tom is reached and the longs have theil
hands full. AT present there seems to be no in
dication of higher prices The local market
was easy, ana declined q c in all grades, dur
ing the day. There was moderate demand
at the decline, and sales amounted to 1884
bales.
At the Cotton Exchange, at the first call az
10 O'Clock, the market opened easy with de
cline of 1-16c all around, the sales being 81
bales; at the regular midday call, at O'Clock
D. m, there was a further decline OF Lice in
all grades with sales Of 567 bales. AT the
third and last call. at o clock, it closed easy
and unchanged with further sales of 9O4 bales

Spirits Turpentine-The biggest sale ever
made in spirits turpentine was recorded at
the Board of Trade this morning. The
amount was 81 SOD casks. The particulars of
the sale were published in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday. The sale, though al a price
much less than the factors hoped for, was all
that could be realized under the existing cir
cumstances. The combination against them
was so strong that il was almost IMPOSSIBLE
to defeat 1t. While the combination has been
consolation in the fact that the aggrega ted
sales made for the seas on S stock has realized
great deal more than otherwise could have
been expected. There is very little spirits
left IN first hands. and as the bulk OF the
stock Is now controlled by the exporters il is
reasonable to expect that the price will ad-

RushvIlie Bank Trying to Recover a
Claim Against Its Late Cashier.
OMAHA, Feb. 6 Suit was commenced
yesterday by w. Lew May, president of
the Rushville bank, recently. closed,
against the insurance company in which
the life of II. A. Chamberlain, cashier
of the bank, was insured to the amount
of $22 500, for money owed by him to
the defnnct bank, claiming that the
money paid by Chamberlain as premium
was money really owed to'the bank, and
that therefore the bank has a claim
prior to that of the estate on the in
surance money. Chamberlain died in
October and the widow was told by the
bank officials that he owed a note OF
So, 500 to this bank and the Hay Springs
Bank, which went up with 1t, besides
other amounts which the bank secured
for him. Mrs. Chamberlain said that
she would settle and the matter was moi
pushed. Later Mrs. Chamberlain Sc
cured as counsel In settling the estate a
relative who came out from Ohio to looA
after her interests. He advised her moi
to pay the amounts claimed Ind she
therefore refused to do so and sgnifiei
her intention of ignoring them.

lnvesti gated.
LANSING, Mich, Feb. 5-Judge Il. H.
Person, of the thirtieth judicial district
OF Michigan, has issued a call for a
grand jury. 1t Is rarely indeed that
this body is convened in tEs Wolverine
state, and 1t is only the most serious
offenses that require this sort of judi
cial Investigation.
There is, however, believed to be suf-
ficient cause for the most determined
action on the part of the oficials at the
present time in order to bring to the
bar CT justice the perpetrators of one
of the gravest crimes that has ever been
committed In the history of Michigan's
public affairs. At first the onense ap-
peared to be nothing more than a colos-
sal blunder. Upon further investiga-
ton, however, 1t bore unmistakable
evidence of being nothing less than =
criminal conspiracy. The people are
thoroughly aroused and nothing but the
fullest and most searching investigation
will appease their righteous indigna-
| tion.
About twelve weeks ago Governor
Rich announced to the public that he
had discovered serious errors In the
canvass of the returns upon the consti-
tutional amendment increasing the sal
aries of certain state officers, which

ratification or rejection at the regular
annual election In April, 1898. The
board of state canvassers, which con-
sists of the secretary of state, state
treasurer and commissioner of the state
land ONCE, had declared the amendment
adopted by vote of 1921 The gov
ernor had determined that, on the other
hand, the. amendment had in reality
been defeated by majority of II ,555.
The public was astounded but the ex-
element was for a short time abated by
the announcement that the errors in the
canvass we're due to the blunders of the
compiling clerks, Fran.- 4. Potter and
George Warren. The public mind, how
ever, was soon after disabused of this
notion. Conclusive evidence is at hand
to demonstrate that willful fraud had
been committed, and thorough inves-
tigation was set on foot by the govern

Excited Colorado Legislators on the
Warpath.
RESULT OF A HOT DEBATE
Colonel A. g. Fisk Has challenged Sena
tor Boyd to Meet Him and Fight
the Matter Out.

DENVER, Feb. 5.-Matters have now
reached such an exciting stage that
there may be blood shed before the
legislature adjourns. The challenge
sent by Colonel A. G. Fisk to Senator
Boyd to fight dual is causing much
talk and speculation among the citizens
here.
This was sent as the result of an at
tack made upon Colonel Fisk's character
by Senator Boyd in the senate chamber.
AS both men are fighters there may yet
be serious trouble.
Interest In what the governor might
say in his reply to the senate resolution
asking him to declare an adjournment
was manifested in the large attendance
of spectators. The sergeant-at-arms of
the house had to personally appear
twice and demand. the republicans to re-
tire to the lower house before quorum
there could be secured. A delegation
of hundred men, headed by Jay Cooke,
entered in body to influence the sena-
tors to change their plan of operations.
The lobby was demonstrative. 1t
cheered the minority members and

PLACER GOLD IN IDAHO.
Remarkable Development Being Made on
Snake River.

onhkc hANCrs
The year 1894 gives promise of being
one of great activity In mining inter-
es,s in Idaho. OF course gold proposi-
tions have the call now, and particular
ly placer properties. Many locations
have been made during the last year
and preparations are being made for
extensive development. Since January
some hfty locations Of placer claims
have been made in the vicinity of Cald-
well, mostly along Snake river. One
company has secured upward of 5000
acres about Is miles from this place
and contemplate putting In an exten-
sive amalgamatirg plant for working
the ground.
Several gold-saviug machines are
being tested along the river, and any
number of improved rockers are at
work. Some gold of fine quality is COM
ing in. This runs close to 500 per
ounce. In fact, much of the gold taken
from the rivers here will run from SIS
to $40 per ounce.
Caldwell capitalists are also interest
ed in some rich and extensive placer
ground in Boise basin that shows 20
feet of pay gravel in depth and returns
81 per yard on the average. This is
near the rich discoveries of early days
and it's development will require the
construction of a 1,209foot bedrock
hume at considerable expense.
