Cotton Market.
'ispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. January 1.-THE situation
in the local cotton market is one of con-
siderable interest. Merchants in Europe
and the south have sold in this market
against their holdings of cotton in other
markets a quantity of cotton estimated to
aggregate 100000 bales. The contracts for
the delivery of this cotton are held by the
long interest at a time when the stock of
cotton here amounts to 10000 bales. and
the southern price for cotton is above a
parity with that paid in New York. Be-
levers in higher prices rely upon ma
terial reduction in acreage and q decrease
in the use of fertilizers to Offset the sur
plus supply.
The disposition of European spinners to
hoard their surplus stock and draw upon
the general market for their daily con-
sumption is also pointed out as bull ar
gument. The bears on the other hand. while
admitting the above facts, believe that the
great problem of disposing Of the over
production can only be solved by reduc-
ton in prices.
Neither side are inclined to act on the
opinions advanced, and a narrow market,
with restricted fluctuations, is apparently
all that there is to look forward to.

A Shaking Up.

An accident happened on the Metropolitan
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
near the New York avenue crossing yester
day morning which resulted in loss of
about 5000 to the company. An incoming
express train struck the rear end of coal
train and upset two cars. The engine was
badly damaged. Both engineers and fire
men remained at their posts, and while the
passengers on the express were given a
shaking up, none of them were injured. 1t
is said that the accident was the result of
the slowness of the fagman sent to flag the
express. The coal train had just left a
siding to come into the freight yard on the
main track.

ROCK CREEK PARK.
Attorney General Olney's Reply to the
COmnlissiOners' Request.

The Rock Creek Park commissioners
have received setback. They asked the
Attorney General for a legal opinion as to
their authority in the matter of the pro-
posed assessments of benefits. The Attor-
ney General has replied briefly that he has
no authority to give opinions except at the
request of the President or the head Of one
of the executive departments. The com
mission will, therefore, have to resort to
that means of communication II they de-
sire to get the benefit Of the legal advice OF
the Attorney General. They will probably
ask the Secretary Of the Treasury or the
Secretary Of War to prefer the request fol
an opinion.

Petition for Pardon.
To the Hon. J. NJ. Stone. Governor of the State
of MsSissippi:

To the Hon. ]. NJ. Stone. Governor of the State
of Mississippi:
The undersigned petitioners would respect
fully show to your EXcellency that Thomas j.
Decell. at the February term 1895 of the Circuit
Court of Pike county. Mississippi, was convicted
OF manslaughter for the killing of Oscar Stew
art. and was sentenced by the coui to five years
imprisonment in the penitentiary. where he is
now confined under such sentence: Prior to his
conviction. he was confined in the county Jail, on
the charge of killing said Stewart, about s
months and he has been confined in the peni-
Tertiary about s months: Petitioners further
show that the evidence and circumstances, in
reference to the killing. show il to have been
done without malice. and under circumstances
il not establishing. at least leaving it in great
doubt that the killing was done In his own or his
brothers defense. At all events, the evidence
would not sustain the conviction, except upon
the theory, that in committing the homicide he
acted too hastily.
This we submit will be shown by the evidence
taken by stenographer and embodied in a bill
of exceptions now on file in the office of the clerk
of the Supreme Court of this State, to which
your Exceency is referred. The premises con-
Sdered, your petitioners pray that the said
Thomas j. Decell may be granted full pardon
for the offense for which he stands imprisoned

More About the Delinquent Tax-Payers-
Sheriff McNair's Explanation.

Sheriff McNair's Explanation.
When the names of taxpayers re
ported delinquent to the Board of Su-
pervisors, but who claimed to have set
tied their taxes, were handed in for
our last issue, we did not have the time
and opportunity to interview Sheriff
McNair and get from him statement
or explanation. The editor of the Issue
did this after THE LEADER article was
published and gives this explanation,
after an interview with Sheriff McNair:
"Now in reference to THE LEADERS,
compliments, the editor of this paper
went over the receipt book with the
tax-collector and found every one of
these accounts in the book, in the shape
all delinquent accounts appear. If the
parties paid deputy, according to the
tax collectors explanation of the man
ner In which the business is done, it
must have been at too late a date to
relieve the payers of delinquency. If
on the other hand these taxpayers
paid at the Office within the time pre-
scribed by law and got any kind of a
receipt, it was not the receipt which
the tax collector says is always given
that from the book containing all the
accounts. This explanation does not
appear probable, however, for such a
method could not be long pursued with
impunity. The deputy who was out
not yet reported to the office, says the
- ~ 0f ut
remains an open question:
In a subsequent interview with THE
LEADER, Sheriff McNair confirms the
explanation given by the Issue. How
ever, just before the forms were closed
for this weeks paper, The LEADER has
been furnished with the receipts from
the following named persons of the
Adams Camp Ground precinct, report
ed delinquent: j. w. Tinnin, Harrison
Bacot, Sylvester Crostley, Matilda Ad-
ans, Mrs. M. J. Caraway. These re-
ceipts, which are not the regular tax
collectors receipts, such as are shown
in the tax collectors book, are signed
by &c. F. Oliver, deputy tax collector"
and were all issued in March, 1895. The
aggregate sum receipted for, including
damages, is S15.71.
This throws additional light upon
the subject, but it should not be the
end of the matter. What should chief
ly concern the Sheriff, and the Board
of Supervisors and the people they
were elected to represent is, how many
such cases as this are there, and how
much money Is involved that might
otherwise be in the State and county
treasures?
