The Birmingham, Sheffield and Tennes-

transformed in the Northern Alabama
railway, and the subscription books to
the capital stock of the new company
will be opened on November 20, in the
office of the Birmingham, Sheffield and
Tennessee River Railway company, at
Sheffield. The recent purchase of the
Birmingham, Sheffield and tennessee
River railroad by the bondholders made
1t necessary to reorganize the company.

son and Messrs. George p. Jones and r..

be taken on November 20, when the
stock of the new company will be taken
by the purchasers of the road. 1t Is be-
lieved that the reorganization means
more than the simple change of name.
Although the commissioners will not say
so. it looks very much as IL the Northern
Alabama will be a more extensive line
than the Birmingham, Sheffield and Ten
nessee River road, and that 1t will very
shortly be extended from Sheffield north

A Chance for Their Lives.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 22.-A recent order
of the county court of Lunenburg re-
ouires Solomon Marable and the two
women convicted with him of murder in
the first degree to be brought back to
that county by November II, when a mo-
ton will be made by the commonwealth S
attorney to amend the record. Counsel
for these prisoners have been greatly
alarmed lest they should be lynched in
Lunenburg inasmuch as 1t was the de-
termination of those authorities not to
call for a military guard, as they did
when these accused were convicted, but
tonight the Dispatch received a telegram
from Governor O'Ferrall who is now in
Atlanta, saying in answer to an inquiry
that when these prisoners went back to
Lunenburg from Richmond, where they
have been confined for safe keeping, he
would see to 1t that military escort
should go with them. Governor O'Ferrall
has frequently said that there has been
no lynching in Virginia since he became
governor and that there shall be none
during his term if he can prevent It,
Though there has been an abatement of
the excitement (which, prevailed in Luz
nenburg CONSEQUENT upon the murder of
Mrs Pollard, the prisoners are still in
dread that they will be sent back there
without a military escort, and notwith-
standing the fact that the leading cit
izens of Lunenburg have pledged their
faith that there will be no attempt to
lynch the prisoners.

Bear Side.

New York, Oct. 22.-The cotton mar
ket, in which for the last two months
considerable money has been made and
lost in the space of a few hours, was in
another uproar at the opening of trading
today. The enormous slump in prices of
yesterday, unprecedented on the New
York cotton exchange, was followed by
sharp reaction and prices began to so up
at the moment business began. Novem-
ber, December and January were again
favorite months today and options Of
fered were snapped up with great rapid
ity. Lots of from 1000 to 5000 bales were
thrown on the market and prices were
shouted SO rapidly and at such varying
figures it was almost impossible to get a
satisfactory quotation The largest lot
sold up to 1890 o'clock was 5000 bales at
845. Prices ranged from that figure to
8h1, and for over an hour dealings
showed an advance over the closing
prices of yesterday of from 13 to 20 points.
with every Indication that the bulls, who
are again in control, will continue to
boost them. Among the biggest bulls on
the exchange early today were Inman,
Swami & Co. They had been on the bear
side when the bears were in control and
John H. Inman Is given credit for having
turned over a large amount of money,
with excellent prospects now of adding
more to 1t on the bull side. After the
market had fairly opened January op-
tions seemed to monopolize trading. In
side of half an hour they sold from 835 to
8.51, and from that down to $50 and back
to $50. under substantial support. The
influence of the Liverpool market, whic ch
was up about 10 points as figured In the
market. was felt only for few minutes.

at 1858, opened at the same figures but
under fierce bear attacks fell % points to
$3.50 in few minutes. March options
dropped from the opening price of 862 to
$40, and May futures broke from
the opening price to $3.50. After a gen.
eral break, which sent January down to
$50, below the lowest record made DUR
ing the big decline, prices stiffened trifie
and f1uctuated around an average of 10
points over the closing figures of yester-
day. Later in the day the market quieted
down.

Mr.. John H. Inman Interviewed.

New York, Oct 22-Mr John H. In
man, who is credited with having made
more than $25O.000 out of yesterdays SEN
sational break In cotton. said in an inter-
view today: THE congestion of cotton
which has taken place for the last several
weeks and which eliminated last
Wednesday, was the result of wild specu-
lation of Americans to carry the price to
1c cents. Prices were carried so high
last week that it was perfectly apparent
tc any sensible man who is accustomed
to deal in cotton that If he wanted to
operate at all there was nothing to do
hut shut his eyes and sell. Regardless
of what the crop is likely to be, cotton
was carried entirely too high, at least for
the time being. Reactions came more
quickly and sharper than any of us ex-
pected. but with this enormous liquida-
tion the atmosphere will gradually clear
and the movement Of prices will now be
regulated by the volume of receipts and
the probable outcome of the crop. If the
crop is only 6,500.000 bales, as many hon
est and well-informed men appear to be-
lieve, cotton, in my opinion, win work
back to the neighborhood of 10 cents be-
fore the season Is over.
II thought for some weeks that the
best estimate of the crop which we
can make Is the means of the figures, j. e..
6,750 900 bales. Holding this view, / be-
lieve that after this shake up is over we
will have gradually hardening markets
ana lanu near cents. II was con-
sumer of cotton or spinner would COM
mence at this price ind gradually accu-
mulate my stock Of cotton for the season.
TT is difficult to guage the amount of
weak long cotton yet to come on the mar
ket but my Judgment Is that whatever
there is will come out at some time this
week. While I expect no sharp rally, ]
do think the lowest prices we will have
for the next two months either took place
yesterday or will take place now with
the coming Saturday. The consumption
of American cotton throughout the world
is enormous, and at today's price 1 do
not think a single spinner will stop,
whereas, at the figures of last week, 1h
to IN above today's market, large num-
bers of spinners in Europe would have
become interested. This will accelerate
the movement of cotton to Europe, and
IL the crop becomes distributed and once
in the hands of consumers, then spec
ulation will take hold of it and put it
to a figure which perhaps it has not
reached yet. 1t is one thing to under
take to corner cotton in October. when
the volume of receipts are enormous and
another to take up bull campaign in the
spring of the year, when the crop has
been taken up and is out of the way.
