Sums Cotton Rev1ew.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton opened 1 to points high CT, reacted and declined slightly, then ral- lied and advanced to s points, but lost this closing quiet and unchanged with sales Of 127 300 bales. New Orleans declined points, but rallied and advanced slightly Spot cot ton here was unchanged, with sales of 500 bales for export and S25 for spinning.
 Today's features: Owing to the absence of news from the south, the speculation today was again a small affair. The fluctuations were continued within a narrow range and at the close they were unchanged from last nights closing. A North Carolina telegram stated that the commissioner of agriculture of that state estimates that one quarter of the cotton has been blown out of the fields. This report together with better Liverpool news than had been expected, caused 0 slight advance at the time, but the improve ment was soon lost. Liverpool bought here to a moderate extent. A letter from Ben nettsville, $. G.. said that the storm had done extensive damage to the cotton crop and that the gins had been blown down. It is generally believed here that the crop has been seriously injured by the storm, but in the absence of news there is no desire to speculate.

In Wall Street.

New York. Oct. 1.--Stoeks were less ac- tive today, the sales amounting to 179.U6 shares, against 219, GOO shares yesterday. The fall off in business was partly due to the excitement in the wheat market, the bull movement in the cereal having attracted general attntion. At the opening stocks ruled lower, owing to weak cables from London and moderate sales. Speculation left off barely steady. Net changes were merely fractional either way.

A WILD RIDE.

st. j. e. l.. c. Engineers Thrilling Ex-
perience on a Runaway Train.
Engineer B. G. Sawyer of the st.
]. & L. C. road, and his assistants,
on the special through freight east,
had a wild ride down the mountain
on Wednesday of last week, running
from Danville to st. Johnsbury on a
runaway freight train.
Sawyer jumped as they neared the
yard at st. Johnsbury and sustained
broken arm and, it is feared, inter-
nal injuries. E. B. Story, the fire.
man, too frightened to jump, re-
manned on the engine and escaped
injury, though the engine left the
track in the yard and got back on
again, leaving all the cars off the
track.
The train of Is loaded cars hauled
by engine 46S left Swanton Tuesday
evening. FIVE cars next to the engine
were supplied with air brakes but the
rest of the train was dependent upon
the brakeman in the van in the rear
Next to the rear car was a load Of
machinery over or by which the
brakeman could not pass when Saw
yer called for help.
From Danville to st. Johnsbury
about II miles, there is down grade
of 100 feet to the mile. The train
got entirely beyond control at Pump
kin hill and for five miles it went at
terrible rate.
1t was one chance in a thousand
that every man on the train was not
killed.
Several years ago James Dee, en-
gineer, had similar experience with
a runaway train and smashed clear
through the yard at St. Johnsbury
but strangely enough escaped injury.
Sawyer's home is at Swanton.

NEWS NOTES

Discoveries of gold in North Caro-
lima. Virginia, and other states where
the existence of the yellow metal has
been altogether unsupported are re.
ported with such frequency as to in
dicate that the time may come when
gold will be as cheap and common as
silver. The wise man, however, will
not mortgage his farm Immediately
in order to raise money with which
to go prospecting.
The Maine Legislature has sent a
memorial tn Congress asking that
Lincoln's birthday, February II, be
made a national holiday. The prop
osition has encountered some oppo-
sitiOn, not because of any disposition
to belittle the greatness of the war
president, but because, it is urged,
there are already enough national
holidays. 1t is well that the question
has been brought up in this form, as
it is likely to provoke discussion and
arouse public sentiment, which will,
of course, govern the decision.
Plans for a national university at
Washington multiply. The latest is
embodied in "A bill introduced in both
house and senate, creating a univer-
sity of the highest type, the govern
ment OF which is vested in a board of
16 regents, with the president of the
United States at its head, and a uni
versity council made up OF three re-
gents and II eminent educators,
representing as many institutions of
high rank and belonging to as many
states. The University is authorized
to establish cooperative relations
with other institutions of the country;
partisan and sectarian preference are
prohibited, and degrees are to be
granted SOFAS to protect the interests
of all institutions entitled to recog-
milton.

Our general Cabinet has Just held a
meeting at New York. All members
present except the LIST vice-president,
W. W. Cooper. The Board of Control
convencs only once in two years, so
these semi-annual cabinet meetings
are duly important. The first item
of business was the question of closer
relations with the Young Peoples
Society Of Christian Endeavor.
Nearly four years ago, Rev. Francis
E. Clark, president of that society,
visited our Cabinet and suggested
certain plans for cooperation. He
was cordially received and a commit
tee at once appointed to confer with
q committe from the Christian En-
deavor. Their committee was not
appointed, however, until a few weeks
ago. 1t was decided to appoint a
new committee the conference to be
held in Chicago on Dee. IA, report
of which we hope to give later. Six
thousand sets of the reading course
have been sold this year and the de-
mand is still good. The set for 1896
81 was discussed. 1t is to consist of
four books at cost of $500 for the
set. They are to be written especially
for US and published by our Book
Concern. They will represent as far
as possible the various departments
of the League wheel. DR.. Nayel gave
a most interesting account of the
German division of our EpwOrth

Kindness.

Do not be afraid of spelling any
one with kindness. 1t can't be done.
Instead of spelling it beauties the
character, cheers the heart and helps
to raise the burden from shoulders
which, though brave, sometimes
grows very tired, Let not little
GOODNESS irighten you away, for under
a frigid exterior there is always to
be found a tender chord which is to
be touched by kindness, and which
responds in beautiful harmonies to
those little acts of courtesy that are

During the year 1895 Judge Lynch
carried out Ill executions in this
country. Such Il record is by no
means creditable, but there is some
cause for congratulation in the fact
that the hummer of such crimes is
twcnty-three less than during the
previous year. The lynchings were
divided among twenty-four states
and territories, but while there were
146 in the South there were but
twenty-five in the North. Of the
total number lynched, 112 were
negroes, nine of them being women.
If Virginia, Mississippi and certain
other southern states adopt the anti
lynching measures which are now
urged, the number of illegal eXecu-
tions in ensuing years will be materi,
ally reduced. And it is high time.
1t is rumored that a daily paper
will soon be started at Barre.

A NUT FOR REPUBLICANS.

For some time past the Republican
organs in Nevada have assured us
that Just as soon as the Republican
party got a chance to pass a free
coinage bill they would start the
wheels Of all the MINIS whizzing OF
silver dollars. Well they had their
chance on Thursday.
There are 24 Republicans in
the lower House of Congress and they
have a clear majority over all other
parties Of 1873. Yet the free coinage
bill Of the Senate only received so
votes in the House. 1t would seem
idle after this, for any Nevada man to
remain with the Republi AN party on
the flimsy ground that it is a free
silver party. Any organ who from
this on advocates the principles of
Republicanism on the ground that
the party is for silver, displays its
Inconsistency to such an extent, that
the man who would trust it on any
question is a fit subject for the Hmoe
of the feeble minded.
