The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-06-06

The cotton market was quiet not to say
dull, all the week. there was no import
ant fluctuations in prices, but the feeling
was mostly tritle easier due to the gen.
orally favorable tenor Of crop reports.
Closing quotations show a decline of
points for the week; August, 5.45c, and
October $500. The August manipulators,
if any there be, seemed to be doing moth
ing, and no stimulating news came from
Liverpool From nearly all sections the
young crop is said to be doing we'll al
though the plant is often reported to be
small Ii is now not believed that the
acreage reduction viii exceed 5 per cent
much, If any, but prices are so low that
even habitual bears are chary about sell
ing very heavily at this stage. Unfavor-
able weather or a general boom consequent
to an early cessation of the war would
start an up turn, and a considerable short
interest would put the market up mate
rally before it could cover.
The end of the corner in May wheat
which came on the last day Of the month
with a collapse of SOC a bushel. caused
general weakness in the wheat market.
July declined over 12c, and September &C.
Later. there was a recovery Of some Sc
on covering by shorts, but the market was
weak again on Saturday, and July closed
about lie lower at 92%c; September, Acc
lower at 7S5sc Crop prospects are very
fine; there appears to be a promise Of the
largest yield on record al least as far as
regards the winter wheat crop. The
spring wheat also gives good promise, al
though not yet advanced enough to war
rant TOO much assurance. Other countries
also report splendid crops. and what is
more, harvesting Is going on in southern

ATTITUDES. Wheat looks like selling a good
deal lower yet.
Corn was comparatively firm, declining
only a small fraction despite the decided
weakness in wheat; July closed 32Ssc.
Corn IS low, and stocks rapidly reducing.
1t will be scarce before fall. and probably
prices will be higher.
Provisions declined somewhat, led by a
pretty sharp break in pork. At current
prices they appear TO be a reasonably safe
investment. VIM. Z. Williams.

FATHER O'NEAl PATRIOTIC
Nearly One Hundred Years Old, but Would
Still Fight For Cuba.

Nearly One Hundred Years Old. but Would
Still Fight For Cuba.
One of the most interesting characters
in the entire southwest is Father
O'Neal, who lives few miles in the
country from Republic, Mo. He has
been a resident of Greene county for
over so years. His father was soldier
in the Revolutionary war, and he has
many of his fathers keepsakes, consist.
ing of a sword, an old fashioned Revo-
lutionary gun and one or two pistols
with which his father fought for the
liberty of the United States.
Father O'Neal is hero of the war of
1S47, and he also took part in the late
civil war. When he heard of the prob
able war between Spain and the United
States, he expressed a strong desire to
at once offer his service to the nation
for the purpose of liberating Cuba. He
is fast approaching the one hundredth
milestone, yet he is a remarkable man
in memory and strength. The wife of
his youth remained with him until last
August. Mr.. O'Neal drives to town
once a week, and he considers himself
nearly 100 years young. st. Louis

CREASED THEIR WAY OUT.

Two Prisoners Effect n Novel Escape From
Front Royal Jail.
Gabriel Vaughn and William Horton
Of Front Royal, Va, convicted Of bur
glary at recent term of the county
court and sentenced to and III months
in Jail, respectively, escaped the other
night. Their cell door. leading into the
corridor, has small opening at the
bottom, apparently hardly large enough
for dog TO crawl through. The two
men saved all the grease in their food
and creased the floor and the edges of
the hole, and, removing their clothing,
creased themselves. BY pushing and
pulling they managed to get through.
They drew their clothing after them.
Once in the corridor, it was an easy
matter to get out. On the whitewashed
wall of the cell they left message to
the jailer. as follows: kind friend, me
and Bill are going a-fishing in the
Shenandoah river tomorrow morning;
so, Mr.. Putnam (the jailer), turn us
loose. We've got no money, but good
excuse"
There still remains on the docket a
charge Of burglary against each of the
fugitives. Washington Post
