RALEIGH MARKET.
HUBBARD BROS. COTTON LETTER.

New York, May 6.-(SpeciaD
Our market yesterday showed
the absence of that anxious
short interest which for the
past thirty days has been the founda-
ton for the advance, but the market
to-day has shown the presence of SUI
tanning orders and the trade is filled
with the impression that the decline
to-day was allowed for the purpose of
accommodating more cotton. With this
idea upneIdnost, commission houses
continue to advise their friends under
10 circumstances to be short of the
summer positions, no matter how
tempting the price may appear to be
in looking at the crop prospects. Our
adyices from Manchester continue TO
report a better business doing, and
while it is an old axiom that the Euro
pean spinner buys at the top and sells
st the bottom, the market does not yet
indicate that the movement has cul-
minated, although a large amount Of
long cotton has undoubtedly been sold
during the past few days to anxious
shorts.

the market, which is at last nights

Unexpected Death.

John R. Covey died very unexpect-
edly about 6 o'clock Wednesday even
ing. He had been tronbled somewhat
lately with rheumatism, and few
days ago obtained a prescription there
for. By some mistake he took a
double dose of the medicine with the
result of intense pains in his stomach,
which he was assured were not sXmpz
toms of any danger. The pains, how
ever, continued till Wednesday after
noon when he took to his bed and a
physicians was called who gave him a
hypodermic injection of morphine.
Soon after, his grandson, Roe Brown,
came into the room and talked with
him a little and turning to leave the
room heard several noises from him
and thought he he had fallen asleep
and was snoring. An examination,
however, disclosed the fact that he
was already dead. 1t is supposed that
his death was caused by rheumatism
of the heart and not from the misuse
Of the medicine.
The funeral will be held today at
2 p. M, In charge OF the g. A. r. Post,
of which he was member.
We are without data as to age, but
will give an obituary notice in our
next issue.

Chicago, March 24.-The division in
the Chicago Salvation Army still exists.
Three of the most efficient officers at
divisional headquarters have declared
to the commissioner their intention Of
leaving the army. That is the immedi-
ate result of Eva Booths visit and her
:nquisition of the disa1fected. Adjt. Her
ron requested Brig. Gen. Fielding to
look for some one to take his place. He
did not hand in formal resignation but
states that lie will do so OH the first 81
April. Heron will go over to the Bal
lington Booth army. He is second in
command to the brigadier general in
the old army and is divisional secretary
of the territory comprising Wisconsin.
Michigan and Illinois. In his district
are 7,4oo army members and the white
ribbon brigade are jubilant, believing
that Adjt. Herron's move will be of
great value to Ballington Booth.
New York, March a4.-Eallington and
Mrs. Booth have issued statement,
through Lieut.. Col. Glen, to the effect
that they will under no circumstances
again take command of the Salvation
Army in the United States. The state
ment was prompted by report from
London that efforts are being made to
induce Mr.. and Mrs. Booth to accept
their old command.

Love and Loves Idols"

was the theme dwelt upon by N. M.
Jewett in Normal Hall, Wednesday
evening. The theme as treated by it's
gifted author took very wide range
of thought embracing every idol of
man, from the cradle to the grave.
Mans affectionate love for the mother
who gave him life and nourished him
in his tender years; the love that bids
him to provide home and share it
with her whom is the idol of his affec-
ton; the deep and abiding love of
offspring; of personal and political
friendsi of statesman and of military
heroes; of the great and the good of
the past and the present, and finally
Of that love which inclines man to God,
to man, to heaven. In the opinion of
Mr.. Jewett the meanest love Of man
was that which knew only self. The
lecture all in all, is far above the
average, both in sentiment and its
delivery, and is worthy of reproduc-
tion before any audience.

forced the conclusion that they who are

Lives of nlanY Soldiers.

Lives of Many Soldiers.
Havana, March 24.-Anothcr terrible
mistake attended with loss of life and
resulting in many soldiers being
wounded has taken place. In some
manner unexplained two columns OF
Spanish troops opened fire upon each
other at midday.
The columns of troops commanded
by Gen. Godoy and Col. 1Iolguin, at the
Santa Rosa plantation, near i1speranza,
province of Santa Clara, mistooI each
other for insurgent forces, owing, it is
said, to the thickness of the sugarcane.
Each detachment opened fire upon the
other and for ten minutes shots were
exchanged, resulting in the killing of / !
soldiers, among them being Leut.-Col.
Fuenmayer, of the Navas battalion. In
addition five officers and 81 soldiers WEE G
wounded. Two of the latter have since
died, six others are mortally wounded
and 80 are seriously injured.
Owing to the fact that the meeting
between the two columns took place at
midday, the explanation furnished by
the Spanish commanders is considered
unsatisfactory, and a court-martial will
follow.
New York, March 24.-The Cuban
