Cotton Letter.

New York Dec. 8.-(Special)-Cotton to- day touched the lowest prices thus far. March opened at 696 and declined slowly and sspbbornly to 6S5 closing at 6.S5a6.S6, but with the tone steady at the decline. As the market goes down the bull feeling is increasing, but lack of outside orders and the boldness of few local bears caused prices to give way. Tomorrow is notice day for January deliveries, but it is thought that the January holdings have been pretty well liquidated and nobody here would be surprised to see the market turn with the closing of the year. If cotton is not now at the bottom it certainly cannot be far from it. We believe that it is good time to buy. RIORDAN & Co.

Among the many candidates aspiring to
places on the Democratic ticket, there are
none more deserving and worthy than Daniel
f.. Brennan, of town. He is seeking the
nomination for County Commissioner, and
unlike the many mushroom candidates that
have sprung up in the past day or two, has
spent considerable money in visiting different
parts Of the county in the interest of his
candidacy. There is no question as to his
loyalty to party, and so far as his competency
for the position is concerned, it is only neces-
sary to state that Mr.. Brennan was for a
number Of years collector for the Keystone
Brewing Company, of Reading, and his hold
ing a similar position under the Muhlenberg
Brewing Co. He has collected thousands of
dollars for these two firms, without being
under bond. His nomination, which now
appears certain, will add much strength to
the ticket, aud would be a just and fitting
tribute to his loyalty to the party in the
mast.

LONDON, Aug. THE government was
overwhelmingly defeated in the house of
lords last night OF amendments to the
Irish land bill by the opposition. The de-
feat of the government spread dismay
among the ministerial members of the
house of who were listening TO
the debate, and they rushed back TO the
lower house in order TO announce the de-
feat, thus creating quite a sensation. 1t
is the general belief that the defeat Of the
government means the abandonment of
the Irish land bill.

blown off at the chin and was found on top Of
a house as feet away. His body was blown
30 feet from the shanty.
Michael Condor, the boy, was getting q
bucket of water in the patch, a short distance
away, when the noise of escaping steam
attracted his attention and caused him to ru1
to the shanty. He was met by the force Of
the explosion and hurled several feet. Ia
addition to the fractures he received his face
was badly scalded. He is a son of Jane,
Condor, of Park Place.
Edward Davis, the pumpman in charge,
