AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
Involving a Justice of the Peace an
Other Parties

Involving a Justice of the Peace and
Other Parties.
The outcome of the recent "shell
game robbery In the county Is a suit,
which was filed In the City Circuit Court
yesterday, by Messrs. Burroughs & Bro.
for their client. w. ID. Sharp. The de-
PENDANTS mentioned in the bill of COM
plant arc John IT. Lewis, n. p. Joyncs
and a. II. Hawks. The first two are
well known sporting men of Norfolk
and the later is the justice of the peace
in 1funtcrsvile district of Norfolk
county. 1t seems that n man giving the
name OF l.. White was conducting n shell
game in the vicinity of Buffalo Bill s
show, near Huntcrsville, n fortnight
ago, and he is alleged to have gotten
$3.50 from Sharp. The latter was not, it
appears, betting on the game. but he
charges that when White asked who had
money he Sharp pulled out $780, that
White asked to be allowed TO count it,
and when 1t was handed to him for that
purpose he plrt 1t into his pocket and
kept 1t. Sharp had him arrested and
carried before Justice Hawks, who bail
cd the accused in the sum of $3.50, with
John T. Lewis as surety. Sharp says
that he complained to the justice tina
the bond was not sufficient TO bring the
accused into court. and that he justice
said he knew Mr.. Lewis and that It
Was all right When the case was called
White failed to appear, and Sharp was
still out $3.50. lie now charges that
White was conducting the game for
Lewis and Joynes. and that they got his
(Sharp's) money. lie also charges that
Justice Hawks aided them in retaining
it, The contention Is understood
to be that he had no right, in the first
place. TO bail White. 1t being Il felony
case. and that if he had the right the
bond was not sufficient. The genuine
ness of the bond IL also likely to be a
matter of investigation. The suit will
come to trial in about two weeks.

COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
Liverpool's Advance Started Anothe :
Bullish Movement.
NEW YORK IS SIX POINTS HIGHER
The Fall Months Are Again Hanging
Back-New Orleans Did Not Hold
the Advance of Yesterday.
ofnce OF Tho Post,

Houston Saturday. February 70.
Liverpool furnished the amrnunation for
the buils again today. advancing futures
" s4eid -64d and putting spots on q basis
i-3ed higher. The foreigners also sent
good buying orders to New York. causing
Hubbard Bros. to WIRE here: THE Euro
pean short interest seems to have started
r. cover" New York had the summer
months 10 points up early in tho session
and closed 5 to Z points higher than yestcr-
day The new crop positions showed a
gain Of 3 to points.
New Orleans did not show the same
desire 10 advance az was seen at New
York. This was doubtless because the
Southern market gained u few points on
New York after the latter had closed yos-
terday afternoon. The summer months
at New orleans were TO points up
early IN the session, but closed tho day
at last nights figures. The fall months
were to 2 points OF.
There were no new features OF interest
developed at today's session and specu-
lation was on a limited scale. Tho Chron-
icle's figures OF the worlds visible supply
showed a decr.aso OF only 60,N0 bales for
the week. making tho total now visible
%. 33S bales larger than at this time last
year. Livcrpool's stock OF American cot
ton Increased IL, 900 bales durng the week.
but the stock ailoat decreased 1000.
At today's session New York futures
opened firm with $50 bid for March. The
highest sale was at $50 and then the
price dropped TO SIS. closing at 6.S6u6.s',
against 6sla6.s2 yesterday. May opened
at 7c advanced TO TOE, then dropped to
9 SO and closed ut 6.9s. agoanst S.s3di6.9
yesterday.
In New Orleans, March started with s.72
asked. dropped gradually to $50 aud closed
at 6.6tu6.65 tho same as last nights fg-
ures May sold at $50 about the opening.
but fell to &c by the close.
Houston expects 200 to 1900 bales to-
morrow. against 1902 on the Same day last
year. The estimate at New Orleans Is for
1000 to 5000 against 500.
Hugh T. McElroy of New Orleans writes:
The market has been gathering strength
| every day recently, The SPOT demand con-
day more difficulty In buying what they
need 10 Ill their contracts. Prces have
advanced. In the meantnc while tho
demand for spot cotton continues 80

week just ended was only 10000, against
