COTTON MARKET DULL.
Ideal Weather News All Over the

New York, Aug. 5.-There was little
business doing in the cotton market to-
day, as expected. Less than half dozen
light sales were recorded at the opening.
The attendance was small and those on
hand managed to advance the market
point or two. Here and there some poor
crop accounts are cropping out, and while
the good reports are as 100 to 10, still SELL
ers are easily put 10 flight. Light rains at
New Orleans and Memphis, with high tenn
perature all over the South, established
the ideal weather news. Showers are
needed in Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
The market closed one point higher.

The week has been an important one in
the number of encouraging railway earn

is quite certain that no year in the past
decade has witnessed such large increases
in earnings as are the rule everywhere at

all issued statements for the year ending

been without exception entirely satisfac-

the coming year will eclipse that just

CITY COUNCIL.

The city council met in adjourned
session last night, as per adjournment.
Mayor Ella was in the chair and all
the members of council we're present.
Alderman Wharton moved that the
rules of business be suspended and that
the consideration OF the water question
taken up. The motion was seconded by
Broemser and prevailed.
Alderman Dickerson moved that citi-
zens be permitted to address council
upon the water problem. The motion
prevailed.
Lorin Staley made few remarks.
The specifications OF G. P. Allen con-
sulting engineer, presented by his son
were considered The plans we're dis
cussed informally by all the councilmen
who 30 desired.
1t appears that the specifications only
provided for one sixty horse power boil
er and pump. This was thought to be
insufficient and upon motion this por-
ton of the specifications were changed
to read, two seventy-five horse power
boilers and pumps Of capacity to pump
l 500 900 gallons Of water. 1t was speci-
fed that the plans under the two boiler
system do not include the filters.
AT this point Alderman Broemser NOV
ed to amend the motion to accept the
plans and that the call for bids be made
to build the plant and that these calls
should be advertised in Denver and
Chicago papers for a period Of thirty
days. Alderman Ramey seconded the
amendment. The motion did not pre-
vail.
Alderman Broemser showed his good
business judgement at this point in op-
posing the proposition to advertise for
bids to construct the new system, in the
home parers. What force would an ad-
vertsement have in Grand Junction
papers, which are largely of local circu-
lation. II the bids we're advertised for
in foreign papers there would be some
chance of competition, otherwise the
contract would go begging or would
simply fall into the hands OF G. p.
Allen.
Alderman Covey moved that the spec
ifications be returned to G. p. Allen for
the amendments, which included mo-
ton that when council adjourned it
adjourn to meet next Monday night.
A motion prevailed that the services
of local engineer be engaged to locate
reservoir site and the intake for the new
system D. r. Crosby was named as
the engineer and the service was desig-
mated to be performed this morning.
Alderman Broemser, who seems to be
moving along in the right direction to
transact business according to business
methods, moved to take up the question
of contracting for electric lights.
The motion did not prevail but it was
moved to refer the question to the com
mittee to take up and present written
report at the next meeting Of council.
Council then adjourned.
At the beginning OF the session it was
upon motion ordered that the city at
torney act as city clerk in the absence OF

MEETING OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
RESIGNATION OF PROF. SMITH ACCEPTED
BY THE BoARD-PRoPosITIoN TO
BUY BONDS CONSIDERED

The board of school control held a
meeting last night and at the mandatory
request of Prof Smith, accepted his res
ignation.
In presenting his resignation to the
board of school control, Prof.Smith said,
that when he presented his resignation
previous to the election he certainly had
no other idea than that he proposed to
sever his relations with the Grand juno
tion schools. He had, when he wrote
and gave publicity to the same, other
work mapped out for the next year. He
stated that he had enjoyed his connec-
ton with the Grand Junction schools
and had endeavored to do his duty
faithfully by them.
A petition was received signed by all
the teachers in the schools, asking the
retention of Prof. Smith as superintend-
ent. The petition set forth that he had
inaugurated system of study which
had greatly improved the schools and
that the time was inopportune for him
to sever his connection with them and
that the board should retain him despite
his evident determination to resign.
The board might have listened to the
petition, but the word Of Prof. Smith
was before them.that he had other work
mapped out and that he desired that
the resignation be acted upon and ac-
cepted.
There we're several propositions pre-
sented to the board for the purchase OF
the school bonds. Very advantageous
terms were offered but the parties de-
sired the bonds to be sold privately, but
the board had determined that the
bonds should be advertised in the open
market and whoever should bid the
most premium should have them. They
have offers for the bonds at five per cent
and premium, but it is the intention
of the board to secure for the public
every dollar possible to be obtained for
them and apply to future interest.
The mere fact that there are at least
half dozen bond buyers after the bopds
is proof positive that the affairs OF the
school district have been conducted en-
tirely on business principles.
The following is copy OF Prof.
Smiths resignation:
April H., 1889.

Gentlemen:-It 1t is perhaps well at this
time to tell you that l do not wish to
continue in my present position another
year, and hereby tender my resigna-
ton. This is the contamination OF

me to other lines of work.

schools ana my interest will always con-

progress and prosperity; here as every
where there is Infinite room for the SYM

for the support you have given me and
the courtesies you have shown me.
Very truly,

A. P. Stephenson, a. Wealthy Pitts
burger, Tries to Murder His Wife
and Commits Suicide.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September ga.
p. Stephenson, a prominent and
wealthy merchant of this city, tried to
kill his wife this evening, and then
committed suicide. Stephenson had
been drinking heavily for several weeks
and during fits OF melancholy had fire.
quently threatened to kill himself. AT
dinner this evening he quarrelled with
his wife and without warning drew a
revolver and fired at her. The bullet
missed its mark and Mrs. Stephenson,
grabbing mp her youngest child, ran in
to the kitchen. Stephenson followed
and fred two more shots without effect,
and then his wife ran out into the yard,
where the infuriated man fired again,
and Mrs. Stephenson tainted. Believ-
ing that he had killed her. he placed the
revolver to his temple and fired. killing
himself instantly. Mrs. Stephenson
was uninjured and soon regained cons
ciousness. Stephenson was 81 years
cd and had two children. He was a
member of the firm Of Arbuthnot,
Stephenson & Company, wholesale dry
goods merchants.
His financial affairs are in excellent
condition.
