 New York, Feb. 26--Light covering by the local contingent inspired advance by an advance in Liverpool, resulted in steady opening, with prices unchanged to points in advance. After the call a general buy ing movement was instituted under the direction of traders representing the short interest, who became scared by theAan7 nouncement of firmer southern spot mar kets and estimates for only moderate port receipts A net gain of to points was attained, after which values were confined within a rather narrow range. Sales rep1 resented appreciable activity for the final day of a week. Both Liverpool and New Orleans sent good buying orders. which ma terially aided the general strength of the market. Today's port receipts were esti- mated at 19,OoO bales, and for the week were expected to aggregate TAO 900 bales.

 The Milford bridge, one of the most i'm portant most costly and best constructed bridges in Lee county, was destroyed by fire last Tuesday about noon. Up to the present no one has been able to account for the bridges catching on fire. It is said by persons living near the bridge that there had been no fire in the neighborhood of the bridge the day 1t burned or the day before. A party living near the structure is quoted as saying that seeing the smoke and fire he went to the bridge and upon his arrival the structure was burning rap idly. the fire appearing to have caught in the top of the bridge. The loss to the coun- ty is good round sum.

Successful Launching of the Battle
ship Wisconsin,.
San Francisco, Nov. 30. - Saturday
at the Union Iron works another of the
marine fighting machines was added to
the already large feet of Pacific war
vessels. The vessel which slid from
the ways was the battleship Wiscon-
sin, the largest of the vessels built for
the United States government by the
Union Iron works The launching of
the big vessel was effected without a
hitch and she now rests calmly on the
waters of the bay. For an hour be-
fore the plunge a large force of work
men tore away chock after chock
which supported the vessel, and they
finished their task almost to the MIN
ute of the prescribed time for the
launching, leaving only one chock TO
restrain the monster, and this was the
support that little Miss Lucille Gage,
daughter of the governor-elect of the
state, had been assigned to remove by
means of q guillotine and the inevlta-
bic electric button. AT a given signal
the little miss pressed the button and
the crash of breaking timbers an
nounced to the thousands of anxious
spectators that the vessel was about
to leave the ways. Slowly the iron
monster moved toward the bay, and
all eyes turned to watch Miss Eliza
beth Stephenson break the bottle OF
champagne upon the bow of the YES
sci. Just as the mass Of iron and steel
touched the water the fair chrlstener
raised the ribbon bedecked bottle and
let it split on the nose Of the yessel
The roar of applause which greeted
the final act was almost deafenlng.
The vessel gathered momentum as she
proceeded to the water, and after leav-
ing the ways floated calmly along I'M
til brought to a stop in the basin where
the work of completing her will go on.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Causes a 100000 Fire in the Windy
City.

Chicago, Nov. %. = The factory OF
The Allen B. Wrisley company, makers
of soap, at 1885 Fifth avenue, was
completely destroyed by fire. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that spontaneous com
bustion was the cause Of the fire which
broke out upon the second floor of the
building, which is six stories in height.
Owing to the immense amount of oils,
tallow, glycerine and other infamma-
HE articles in the building it was I'M
nossible for the firemen to stop the
progress of the fire, and they were
obliged to content themselves with
keeping the flames confined to the
Wrisley building. Inside of forty min
utes the structure was mass of ruins.
The loss is estimated at $105,0OO, OF
which sum $4,000 is lost on stock and
machinery and the balance on building.
The loss is amply protected by insur-
ance.

Pittsburg, Nov 26.--Miss Nora Bit
ner, highly respected young lady OF
Allegheny, was beaten so badly by
three girls that she will probably dle.
Her assailants are in jail. The cause
of the assault is rather mysterious. It
seems that Miss Bitner, with a young
lady companion, was walking along
East Ohio street, and in passing a
group of young girls at play she made
some jocular remark concern ne the
party whereupon one of the youngsters
grabbed her by the hair and pulled her
to the ground While PROSTATE Miss
Bitner was kicked on the head and
beaten into insensibility. Her compan-
ion was unable to protect her and
rescue was only effected when three
women came upon the scene. Ihe
physicians attending Miss Bitner say
her skull is fractured and blood cloc
has formed in the brain. Her recovery
is doubtful.
