 President Richard Douglas, M D.. of Vanderbilt university, of Nashville, called the meeting to order and the proceedings were opened by prayer.
 Dr. Floyd W. McRae, of Atlanta. read a paper on the subject of Penetrating Wounds of the Abdomen" and in the same connection Dr. H. Horace Grant, of Louis- vile, read his paper on the Practical Side of the Treatment of Bullet Wounds of the Abdomen"
 The association at the afternoon session proceeded with the consideration of other papers, all of which were of a technical character
 When the convention adjourned for the day the members had gotten as far down the programme for the first days session as the first of the ten subjects for the after noon meeting.

THE GREAT BIKE RACE.
Pierce Continues to Lead While Miller
 and Waller Make Gains.

New York, December 6.-The leaders in the six-day race at Madison Square gar den stirred the early evening crowds by frequent brushes. At o'clock the score showed Pierce within a few laps of 25 miles ahead of Miller and the latter was miles ahead of Waller. The three leaders ride without any symptoms of fatigue.
 Between and 8 o'clock Pierce, who at the hour had over 23 miles ahead of the record, rested for 43 minutes, and at 8 o'clock he was only little over nine miles ahead. Miller and Waller, second and third men, remained on the track and materially 1essened Pierce's lead. Miller gained 12 and Waller Il miles on Pierce during the hour Pierce came back a few minutes after 8 o'clock and resumed his usual speed Miller went off for 20 minutes and Waller crept up on him. When Miller returned to the track he got down to a fast pace and there was a hot contest all along the line between the leaders, and several positions were changed
 The crowd tonight was the largest since the race began, and it did not begin to thin out until after midnight.
 Miller said he was as fresh as when he started. He said he was going to win, and felt sure he could at the pace he had cut out for himself. At midnight, AS hours after the start Pierce was less than two miles ahead of the record. At that hour he had been resting for some time. SF

TELEGRAPH MARKETS
In VI oil sStree-.

New York, December 6.-FractionaI gains throughout the list were the results of; to- days trading. The decided strength of the early market was in sympathy with Lon don's improved prices, and London was a small purchaser on balance. Profit taking at times checked the advance in the local market, which became dull in the after noon, with quotations generally well main tained. Sugar, after an early advance, sold off, as usual, on the 'annoiincemeift sof, the regular dividend disbursement The trans actions in this speciality were very large, and the covering of shorts brought about full recovery to the best advance oftthe day, leaving the price a point below yester- day. The feature of importance was the Cealers, which were buoyant on the as sumption that new trade agreement would be in effect next month. Delaware and Hudson was especially strong on re- ports of the probable continuance of the present rate of dividend to be declared next month. Pacific stocks were stronger at pe- riods of depression in today's trading, and rallied the rest of the list. Central Pacific rose 2A points on the dissemination of a report that the government might extend the time for that company to pay it's ob- legations to the government The action Ol ftOudy the continued operations for some time of large specula- tive interests in having diverted their op- erations into low-priced shares, which give promise of increased or impending dividend disbursements.
 Considerable amounts of stock ruling in the forties were taken in hand, conspicuous examples being C., C. c. & St. L Southern preferred and Northern Pacific. The Gran ger group showed spurts of activity at times, and moved in sympathy with the general market although improvements as a rule were less pronounced.
 Manipulative orders were distributed free ly among the high-priced specialties, the Consolidated Gas being striking features ness, and closed with decline of points.
 The bond market showed decided strength at many points, operations in some of .he recent favorites being on large scale. The total sales were 4413,000.

ACCIDENT TO
 THE ELEVATOR
Caused Death of One Man and
 Injuries to Others.
HAD JUST BEEN INSPECTED
Not Known Whether Elevator Fell from One of the Upper Stories, or That Superstructure Was
 Precipitated Upon It.

New York, December 6-An accident to the elevator in the eeven-story building at Pine and William streets, occupied by the United States Fire Insurance company, to- day resulted in the death of one of the fire company's directors, the probably fatal in- jury of another director and the serious injury of a third insurance man. Several others miraculously escaped.
 Walter Hayden Griffin, secretary and dl- rector of the company, was instantly kill ed. Thomas w. Caldwell, of Morristown, N. J., also a director, received a compound fracture of the skull, and is not expected to live. George H. Smith, head of the firm of Smith & Hicks, fire underwriters, was Injured about the head and body
 It is not definitely known whether the elevator fell first from one of the upper floors whether the superstructure sup porting the elevator fell on top of it from the roof of the building. There was a jarring sound and then crash. The cables snapped and the counter-weights, half a dozen in number, weighing from sixty to seventy pounds, descended bounding from side to side of the shaft. They crashed through the roof of the car. One of them slfucK secretary GflIHn on the neau, cruSH- ing it in. Another struck Director Caldwell a glanclng blow on the back of the head, fracturing the skull and exposing the brain. Underwater Smith was struck by the torn cables and debris.
 The elevator man, Dennis Sullivan, had presence of mind enough to throw open the lower gate just as the first crash came, and the other passengers in the car were able to get out of the cage in time to save themselves.
 After the accident Sullivan was arrested and is held awaiting the decision of the coroner's inquest. From statements made by Manager Belknap. of the Otis Elevator company, and from others in the building it was shown that the elevator had been inspected ten minutes before the accident occurred and pronounced absolutely safe Manager Belknap could not advance any theory as to the cause of the accident.

Birmingham, December 6.-Wheat con tinues heavy, with cables a trif1e lower. The movement is again becoming narrow. Following late precedents after becoming almost dormant at lower prices, there Is generally a rally, but advices from good commission brokers still favor lower quo- tations. The market is purely professional, and scalper's. Fluctuations today were confined to Ac. Corn held strong until near the closing, when good realizing sales caused declines of Ac, but final prices were at least steady. Northwestern receipts were 1,531 vs. 734 last year.
