COTTON.

Weekly Report OF Messrs Price
Mccormick & Co., of New York:
The cotton market has relapsed
into dulness that is the complete
antithesis of the condition of two
or three weeks ago. The entire
range of Quotations during the
week has hardly been more than
Is points, and prices at the close
yesterday were about where they
were last Thursday. But few new
developments are to be recorded.
Liberal buying on the part of
Lancashire spinners in Liverpool
seems to have ceased for the pre-
sent and their taking some days
during the past week have fallen
as low as 5000 bales. This is a
condition which argues the proba-
bility of q more active demand Ia.
ter on, but meantime the trade
waits for the assimilation or the
purchases made during the late
advance. and the best advices we
can get indicate that the spot de.
mand is likely to continue dull
for some little time yet. The set
tlement of the wer between China
and japan has been finally effec-
ted without any military interven-
tion on the part of Russia, but
Manchester reports say that the
improvement in trade expected as
a result of this settlement has
been discounted and that the mar
ket does not evidence much fur
ther Oriental demand at the mo-
ment. In New York speculation
has been very dull, although pri-
ces have been fairly we'll sustain
ed by buying orders emanating
chiefly from New Orleans, whore
good judges insist that the crop
outlook as far as developed points
unerringly to a much reduced pro-
duction next year. In this con-
nection, it is to be observed that
those who advance this view are
,nen whose opinion in regard to
the same question during the past
has been very correct and for that
reason their ideas carry weight
that would not usually be accord
ed to crop estimates 80 early in
the season. Most important of all,
however, in its bearings, is an in
hnence put by many in the cate
cory of the sentimental. It is the
reviving spirit of speculation, in
all markets and nearly ell commo-
dities. The stock market shows
it, the grain market shows it.
leather, rubber, copper, iron
beef, paper, woolens, nearly everj
thing is advancing. 1t will mol
be strange if cotton shares a ten
dencv an universal.

Our Heavenly Host.
"They're gathering homeward from
every land,

"They're gathering homeward from
every land,
One by one, one by one"
The w. G. T. U. is rapidly making
for itself another home, and that an
heavenly. "One by one" we 60, but
the going has been so swift with SO in
teryening time. that the Ghost" is al
ready assured. When we think of
our "Marys" alone, we know we have
four shining stars in the heavenly
armament. First, then was Mary T..
Hill Willard, the "Great Mother" of
our Chieftain, and, indeed, of our or
ganization; then the devoted editor of
this paper, Mary Allen West, whose
breath went out in far Japan--an Of
fering to the work she loved better
life then Mary A Woodbridge, our be-
loved corresponding secretary, whose
sudden departure last October we can
not yet comprehend, and now 1T is
Mary T. Lathrap, our peerless prohlb-
ition pleader. Full we'll we know that
these four do not complete the conse-
Grated Mary's who have loved and
labored for the white ribbon and have
lain with it On their peaceful breasts
in the last marrow house." They
and their devoted sisters are Well-nigh
countless to mortal ken already. The
twenty years have deeply depleted our
ranks but new workers are turning to-
wards us, and by and by we will not
know WHICH is the larger host, the
heavenly or the earthly.
In the meantime, let US work, let US
watch, let us pray. The burden grows
heavier on the old shoulders as the
comrades fall, bus the new recruits
are fast buckling on the armor, and
while it is our privilege to live, let us
live joyously and in full 'liberty
wherewith Christ has made us free. =
The words of tribute which follow
give to our readers partial estimate
of the character and work of our re-
Gently promoted leader, and form
material for the memorial service
which we trust all unions will hold on

In the family circle, little Mary, one
evening, when all was silent, looked
anxiously in the face of her father who
had ceased to pray in his family, and
said with quivering lips, "Papa, is God
dead?" "No, my child; why do you
ask?' "Why, papa, you never talk to
Him now as you used to do" she
replied.
An item is going the rounds sof a
press to the effect that whisky is now
manufactured out of old rags. We see
nothing rem arkable about this Every
one knows that nearly all the old
rags in the country are manufactured
out Of whisky, and there is no appar-
ent reason why the process Of conver-
sion may not work as we'll one way as
another. What beautiful business.

A Lawful Fence.

In answer to requests for informa-
tion as to what constitutes a legal
fence in this state, the following from
Vol. /, Hills Codes 2544-45-59, is
quoted:
"Post and rail or plank fences, 5
feet high made of sound posts inches
in diameter, set substantially in the
ground, not more than ten feet apart,
with four planks not more than 9
inches apart and not less than l inch
thick and inches wide, securely fas-
tened by nails or otherwise; post and
rail fences, with posts not more than
10 feet apart and S rails not less than
4 inches wide, constructed as above !,
worm fences made in the usual way
of sound substantial rails or poles,
five feet high, including riders, with
stakes firmly set in the ground, and
spaces no greater than in post and
plank or rail fences, except the two
lower spaces, which shall not be more
than 4 inches, and the top spaces,
between riders, not to be more than
16 inches; ditch and pole, or board or
rail, fence shall be made of a ditch
not less than feet wide on top and 3
feet deep, embankment thrown up on
the inside of the ditch, with substan-
tial posts set in the embankment not
more than 10 feet apart, and plank,
pole or rail securely fastened to posts
at least feet high from bottom of
ditch. All other fences as strong and
as we'll calculated to protect Enclosures
as either of those just described are
lawful fences. A barbedwire fence is
lawful if con structed as follows: Posts
should be set not more than 80 feet
apart. The first wire should be not
more than % inches from the ground,
the second 81 inches and the third IS
inches. Each of the wires should be
tightly stretched and securely fasten-
ed to the posts, and four light poles or
strips should be fastened between each
two posts to the wires vertically,
leaving no greater space than about
HNf ho
poles or strips; or the posts may be
set not more than II feet apart, and
two barbed wires and one pole, rail OF
plank securely fastened to the posts,
or one barbed wire and two rails, poles
or planks securely fastened to the
posts"
Animals breaking through lawful
fence are trespassers and their owner
may be sued for damages.-P.-I.

FOR The GOOD OF The PARTY
Campaign Assessments Levied On

Mr.. Connelly's Receiving Office Doing

The levy of assessments for political par
poses is going on with increased activity
In the departments This applies with es-
pecial force to the Government Printing
Office, which up 10 this year has not been
under the seinblance OF civil service pro-
lection. There is, however, no practical
difference made by the fact that the civil
service rules have been extended to the
office during the past summer.
The evasion OF any and all leg gisation has
been shown 10 be perfectly easy. THE Civil
Service Commission does not even take in
tcrcst enough In the matter To investigate
except when furnished with tolcrably con
elusive evidence of violation of the law.
The district attorney looks 10 the Civil
Service Commission TO furnish the facts
upon which any Indictment under the pen
atty clause OF the act OF January is, 1883,
could be obtained. or course, any private
citizen could call the matter la the atten-
tion OF the grand jury, but there is no like
liood at all that anybody will. As the
Civil Service Commission Will only prom
Use to inve estigate upon conditions not
likely TO bc met, and the attorney will
only move upon Information furnished by
the commission, IL is not likely anything
will be done Ia save employees frcm the tax.

charge. He came here In. CIeveland's first
administration as an cmploye of the Gov
crnment Printing Office, and is close
personal friend of Public Printer Benedict.
He has been engaged every year In the col
lection OF campaign funds, aud is very sue
cessful. 1t Is work he does not seek, and
as the opening OF the bureau has been un-
usually late this year, he thought some
body else had been selected To look after
the matter.
He said last night that large sums had been
received last year, and he hoped, although
it was much later than usual, that even Il
larger amount would be obtained this year.
During the first three hours after the Of
flee was open Mr.. Connolly received
about 5000.
SIGN THEIR DEATH WARRANTS.
OF course, as Mr.. Connolly is not in any
way connected with the government, he
is entirely free from the force of any law.
He is acting by the authority of James W.
Hinckley, chairman of the New York Demo
cratic State committee, and unguestionably
has the moral support OF every Democratic
Congressman from that State. Men who
refuse to contribute may with reasonable
certainty be supposed TO sign their own
official death warrants. Yet the whole
operation is entirely legal.
Some of the employees object very serious
ly to being subjected to these lcvies, but
they have no relief except TO gruDlble.

sANDFoRD NOT POISONED
Verdict Of Coroner's Jury That He
Died from Natural Causes.
DR.. GIazebrook's Testimony to the
Effect That Death Was Due TO
vnIvular Disease of the Heart.

A coroner's jury quickly decided Xester-
dav afternoon that John NJ. Sanford died
from natural causes and was not poisoned.
The inquest was held at 5 o'clock In
Lee undertaking establishment. The
body OF Sandrord had been twice exhumed
in order to satisfy his friends and widows
that he had not been poisoned, as had been
Ileacd with considerable emphasis.
the first witness bcrore Coroner HAM
NETT was DIR. Crosson, vino attended sand
ford just prior to his death He tcstifleu
that the dead man was seventy three years
OF age, "A retired sailor, and resided at NO.
2o7 Il street north west. When Dr. Cros-
son was called ne found Sandford getting
over the effects of spree. His stomach
was so weak that he was unable To retain
even water. The primary cause OF his
death was gastritis, or inflammation oi
the stomach. The immediate cause of death
was heart failure.
Sandford had been dead fifteen minutes
on October when the doctor arrived IN
answer to his wiie's summons. There was
no evidence of struggle with death.
The dead man lay as though he had passed
away peacefully.
Chemist Marion Dorset, of the Agr:-
cultural Department, testified TO making
an analysis of Sandfortl's stomach and con
tents. He found about half pint of
arsenic in that organ. There was no ulcera-
tion OF the stomach, hut decided congestion.
The arsenic used in the embaifnng process
might have been forced into the stomach.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook testified as
to the autopsy Deceased was quite cor
pulent and weighed fully / so or 1870 pounds.
His heart was embedded in n large quantity
of fat. His arteries Were the arteries OF
old age and liable to- give way at any time
and cause apopicXy. The mass of fat about
Sandford's heart was from one-haif Ia one
inch thick. He had one of the worst forms
of heart disease known 10 the profession.
II is known as valvular disease OF the heart.
In the process OF embalming the instru-
mcnts entered his stomach and admitted
great quantities of the embalning fluid
containing arsenic, hence the belief that he
was poisoned while in life.
Sandford's kidney was abncrmally large,
continued DIR. Glazcbrook, and " az almost
eaten away. 1t was remarkable that such
The doctor found an alcoholic stomach,
but absolutely no evidence of irritant
pois oning. 1t was case evidently of
chronic alcoholism.
After short consultation the jury de-
cided that deceas ed died October 9, at his
late rcs idcnce, 201 q street northwest,
from natural caus es and 1--WE hold that no
one il responsible therefor"

The trial of John, alias Patsy, Harris,
indicted for the murder of Matthew Spruei,

jurors had been chosen with, however,
seventeen challenges at the disposal of

He lived with his wife in the second story

quarrel resulted, and Spruell flour
ished a razor and Harris drew n revolver.
A woman separated them, and Harris pis-
tol was thrown into the back yard. II is
said he went on up stairs and few min
utes later returned and passed through the
rear door, picking up the revolver in the
back yard.
About . O'Clock spruell started down
Thirty-thrd street. Harris went a ftcr
him. Seeing him coming, Spruell ran and
Harris gave chase. At the corner of
Thirty-third and NJ streets SprueIl turned
into a hallway and Harris fired u shot at
him. As the fleeing barber reached the
first stairway landing Harris fired sec

men and produced death in an hour. The
