New York. July 1s.-There was a toll
cradle active market for cotton futures
today with little fuctualion after The
opening call. when the market developed
a decline of TO points under some long
account and selling by houses with Eu-
ropean connection and particularly for
Liverpool account. For time trading was
quite active but the market became slow
and featureless, the crop situation being
without new developments of consequence
and news from Europe and elsewhere
abroad of a common place character. The
market was finally quiet at a decline of
to 4 points. Total sales, futures, e. 900
bales. Spot cotton ruled inactive and
closed very dull at unchanged prices;
sales, 1000 bales.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plainfeld, H..
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she was
treated for month by her family physi-
clan, but grew worse. He told her she
was a hopeless victim OF consumption and
that no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested DIT. Kings New Dis
Covery for Consumption: she bought a
bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from first dose She continued
its use and after taking six bottles found
herself sound and well; now does her own
homework and is as well as she ever was.

HOG MARKET STEADY
Only Moderate Receipts and
Quality Just Fair
TOPS STILL AT 1915
Cattle Market Steady and a
Little More Activity,

The Wichita hog market yesterday ruled
tairly steady. in spite Of lower live stock
markets all over and the provision mar
ket easy. The local market opened with
q moderate supply of hogs in sight and
reports from other points showing weak
markets with generally several points low
er The run Of wagon hogs was rather
light ali through the day. the aggregate
Showing up only fair as to volume and
the quality no better than fair. Through
out the days trading the run of hogs
Sonered was only ordinary, and no very
tempting lots appeared Such as they
were, all the stuff on sale was snapped up
readily, and the demand was at all times
considerably in excess Of the supply. The
first sales Of the day showed the market
at least steady, the main line 70 cross
the scales going at $40 and 1915. These
prices ruled for the bulk Of the wagon
trade for some time, and these lots were
by far the best TO be received for this
branch Of the trade. Later a poorer grade
Of hogs coming in received lower prices,
but the tone OF the market at all times
held steady. The average weight for the
day was u pounds heavier than for last
Saturday, but the volume of receipts was
lighter than last Monday by about 300
There we're no real good hogs offered on
the market yesterday, much less any
thing which could be called choice. The
run was light, even for Monday, and it
was not easy 70 determine a quotable mar
ket. All the hogs received were readily
tbsorbed, the demand being good from 10
cal packing interests. the Dold company
taking all the desirable fat hogs offered
and would have bought many more of any
where near the same grade had they cen
offered. The range Of the bulk of sales
was more narrow than for Saturday and
showed therein the strength of the mar
ket, the car lots coming in being register
ed within the bulk. The business closed
early with all the receipts taken and the
hog pens empty. 1t was a fairly good
Monday and sellers and buyers got to-
gether readily and the stock disposed Of
promptly. The daily comparisons on the
local markst are as follows; For yes

Big Powder Explosion.

On the arrival of the Ell Paso North
eastern train last evening it was learn
ed that three men, who are working
for Geo. S. Good & Co., contractors or
the mountain road from La Luz into
the mountains, were very badly burn.
ed as result of an explosion of 25 kegs
of powder
From what facts could be learned
about the explosion it seems that the
powder supply for blasting purposes
was about out at the camp up in the
mountains and the con tractors started
white man with two Mexicans to La
Luz for the powder and some other sup.
plies and after they had loaded their
wagon with the powder and were on
the return trip the powder in some un-
known way was exploded.
There are good many theories as
to the cause of the explosion. Mr..
George Parker says come think that it
was caused by lightning and some
think it was caused by the explosion
of box of caps which was in the wa
gon-that in driving over the rough
roads the wagon went down in q rut
and something fell on the caps, explod-
ing them and they in turn the powder.
The men were Immediately brought
back to La Luz where their wounds
were dressed by Drs. Rice and Purcell.
All three men are thought to be fatal
ly burned. 1t is only a miracle that
they are alive at all, as two of the Mex
leans were on the wagon and the white
man was walking along by the side of
the wagon at the time of the explo-
sion.

FIRE At SAN MARCIAL.
The San MarCia1 House Wiped Out
of Existence.

Last night about 8:45, the blowing Of
engine whistles, the firing of revolvers
and the shouts of excited people, an
nounced the presence of q conflagration
in town. The flames that were bursting
from the upper front windows of the
San Marcial House told of its location.
No one for q moment thought of at
tempting to save the large flimsy
structure, almost the first building
erected in San Msrcial, and after re.
moving the contents Of the bedroom of
the lessee, F. G. Selmau, and the per-
sonal effects of few others, the atten-
ton of the citizens and of the railroad
hose company, which promptly put in
an appearance. was conferred on saving
the buildings bordering the doomed
structure.
The heat was intense and heroic
measures were necessary to save the
residence of DR.. Alex Cruikshank, the
rear buildings of the blocks occupied
by F. G. Selman. A. B. Ely, Bonem &
Co., Leo Loewestein, w. II. Kremis
and other tenants. Several times
these buildings were noticed in flames,
but good supply of water was we'll
utilized by the hose COM
pany, and aside from charred doors
and windows, and losses sustained to
goods and personal effects hastily re-
moved, the destruction of the hotel,
the property of Wilson Waddingham,
was the chief result of the blaze. The
origin Of the fire is in doubt.-San

Waves Too Small.

The reporter was approached by an
individual at the T. P. depot this
morning inquiring for work. do you
know where i can get a job?' In
quired the stranger. He was referred
to the E. p. & n. Z. construction COM
pany, but he said they did not pay
money enough. He was then asked
about the chihuahua IL Pacific road
now under construction in Mexico, but
the wages were too small there. he
was then referred to the levee con-
struction crew, but with them he would
get his feet wet. so he didn't care for
any of that kind of work. When ask
ed what particular kind of work he
was looking for, he said he didn't care
so long as there was good money in it
and not hard labor. There are plen-
ty of men to do scrub work without
me-" be said. land L propose to let
them do it." The gentleman was
blessed with strong Swedish accent
and evidently meant what he said.
