southern and European selling caused another break in prices. Liverpool, af- ter showing quite a good advance early In the day, reacted later on and New Orleans also showed weakness Prom inent interests here were said to be sell ing. Furthermore. the south resold some of its purchases of the last few days Some of the rumor mongers start ed rumors of impending financial troubles in New Orleans trade. bue we are assured that there is not the slightest foundation for such reports. Today's decline elim- mates another large percentage of the weak long interest even If 1t does not practically complete liquidation. and certainly very many consider the market In much safer position than 1t was in recently. New Orleans is still above the parity of other markets. but cotton has a good many champions in the Crescent City. to say nothing of New York and Liverpool. Spot prices are above the par ity of Liverpool quotations, but the bulls think that in the end 1t is Liverpool which must advance rather than decline' However there was much more dispo- sition to sell than to buy, and the tone at the close was depressed at the lowest figures of the day.

RAY M. MOORE SUICIDES
Became Despondent and Used His Pistol Ef fectually-Held Prominent Position in
 the Southern Freight Office.

Ray M. Moore termina ted his own life at an early hour yesterday morning by putting a bullet hole through his head. The cause of his rash deed Is not known. He was probably Respondent over physical ailments
 He boarded at the Eagle hotel, Second avenue and Twenty-fourth street, occu- pying room GA.
 About o'clock yesterday morning the chambermaid opened the door and en- tered the room for the purpose of clean ing 1t up, as was her custom, and on en- tering the room the dead body of Moore met her gaze. She noticed blood on the bed clothes and d hole in Moore's head. She immediately reported the matter to the proprietor of the hotel, MT. Clifford, who went to the zroomrand made an ex- animation.
 Tbe dead man was wrapped in the blankets and lay with his hands folded across his breast. 3S-caliber Smith & Wesson pistol, with one empty cham Der, lay beside him. A bullet had en- tered just above his right ear and passed entirely through his head, coming out near the left ear. From this hole blood had oozed out and formed a pool in which lay the suicides head. A letter addressed to his father w. K. Moore, of Dalton, Ga, was also found in the room
 Coroner Dusenbury was notified and proceeded to the hotel to conduct an in- vestigation of the death. After viewing the body and making a few inquiries he gave permission for the body to be re- moved and prepared for burial. It was turned over to Warner & Smiley, under takers who took it to their establishment on Twentieth street and prepared it for shipment to Dalton, Ga., where the burial will take place.
 Moore was chief clerk to J. H. Garner, o,h a nf in off position he had held for several months A few days ago he began complaining of pains in his stomach, and about o'clock Tuesday he left the office, saying he was unable to work any longer. Wheth- CT he went directly to his room or to some other place is not known. No one seems to know when he went to his room and the first knowledge of his intention to end his life was the finding of his life less body by the chambermaid yesterday morning.
 Two small morphine bottles empty were found on the bureau, but it is sup posed he had used the contents to ale viate his suffering.
 The letter addressed to his father was opened later in the day. In that he stated that he had failed in his promise made to his father and mother to be better man.
 Ray M. Moore came to Birmingham several years ago and took a position in the freight office of the Georgia Pacific under MT. Garner and by his strict atten- tion to business and his adaptability to the work from time to time received pro- motions, finally being installed as chief clerk, a position he filled with entire satisfaction He was a son of w. K Moore of Dalton, Ga, one of the most prominent lawyers In that section of the state. He was a brother-in-law of Dr. Hugh K. Walker, former pastor of the First PresbYterlan church of this city

Miss Cunningham, the Reporter, Gives
 Some Damaging Testimony.


 San Francisco, Oct. 23.-Miss Carrie Cunningham was called to the stand in the Durrant trial this morning. She tes- tified that she was reporter on the Ex- aminer, and had, until recently, acted in that capacity on the Chronicle. She had known Durrant since August IS, last, and from that date until October 5, had vis- tied him daily. She entered his cell only once, and then in company with others. She generally stood on a stool outside the cell door and talked through the wicket At this point District Attorney Barnes asked the following questions:
 Did Durrant on the 2d of October show you an envelope on which was written: Not to be opened except in case of my convictions?
 The defense interposed an objection and the court sustained 1t on the ground that it could not be shown what the en- velope contained.
 Miss Cunningham testified further that on October l Durrant had stated to her that when he was fixing the sun burners in the church he heard a noise and fol- lowed it to the belfry, when he saw Blanche Lamontes body on the second landing.
 Did he says this to you?" was asked. Objections by the defense, which were overruled.

A WORTHLESS BUILDING. The St. Louis City Hall Has Had $2, 900 ,ooO
 Wasted on 1t.

St. Louis, Oct. 23.-As the committee Investigating the work on the partially completed city hall proceeds with their labors they find fresh evidences of fraud in it's construction. The iron columns in the main buildings have been found to contain blow holes, which were con cealed by iron, cement and paint; the trusses are insufficient to sustain the weight of the roof; the towers are be- lieved to be unable to resist high winds; the tiling of the roof is defective and the building is without drain pipes or sewer connections. In brief, the immense piles of granite and iron which already cost the city over $2,0OO000 is practically worthless as an official building and will have to be reconstructed

She was, how ever, detained the usual period. and the British foreign officer was appealed to. The procedure here, however, was found regular.

Ex.PRESlDENT HARRISON
Being Doomed for Compromise Candidate @,
Currency Factions for 1896.

indianapolis, Ind, April % An Indi-
ana Republican who was in Washington
during President Harrison's administra
politics, said, today, that Benjamin Har-
rison will be the compromise candidate Of
the currency factions, next year
"He is the coming man." said this
Republican. ''He will be nominated on
a conservative b-motallsm platform OF
all the Republicans spoken of Tor Presi-
dent, he is the only man that comes any
where near satisfying the gold men East
and the silver men in the West
1t is said that tho political friends of
Harrison are already organizing the West
for him. Recently good many efforts
were made to induce the ex- President to
say something on the currency question
He maintains silence One of his friends
said, today:
II doubt il the ex- President will
talk on the currency question between
now and the Republican national conven-
ton. He is willing to stand by his views
expressed in his Colorado speech. He be
lieves that his position is well understood
He will not seek the nomination for the
TtSiueuCy, puJ IL his lTieHOS SHouIu push
him as candidate on which the opposing
factions can unite, he will not object. :"
Mr.. Harrison is making arrangements
to go East, next month. He has entirely
recovered from his recent illness and ap-
parently was never in better health.

Democracy, prints long interview with

ONLY HIS OWN IDEAS
In Father PheIan's SIurs Against Christian
Endeavorers and Epworth Leaguers.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 22.-In regard to
the editorial of Father Phelan, in the St
Louis Western Watchman, casting aspcr-
sions on the conventions of the Christian
Endcavor Society and the Epworth League,
Rev. Regis Canevin, speaking for Bishop
Phelan of ST. Paul's cathedral, said, to-
day:
You may say that we regret the charges
made by Father Phelan and we do not
believe there is any foundation for them
There is no good to be accomplished for
Christianity by the propagation of such
charges, or by bigotry, and such methods
are to be deplored.
Father Phelan is responsible to no one
but himself for what he says; he does not
represent the church in this particular nor
does he speak for any diocese Of the church
He simply controls the paper called the
Western Watchman, which is an independ-
ent sheet @
II always held the Christian Endeavor
Society and the Epworth League in high
regard and l believe that they are doing
good work. The men and women who
are at the head of them have only good
motives and l think ought to be encour-
npad -
