FIVE CAPTURED BY THE PO7 LICE IN THIS CITY LAST
 NlGHTt
WORKED LIKE OLD TIMERS
Mr. Will Benton One of the Heaviest Losers Police Worked for
 Several Days.
Five youthful burglars now Ian

Five youthful burglars now Ian gaish in the Jefferson county jail.
 The police have been tracing a band of youthful thieves for several days and their path was ended last night when the five negro boys ranging from the ages of 14 to 19 years of age, were captured and landed behind the bars.
 They are Bump Sykes, Al John son, Mount Sykes, Elijah Stewart and John Spicer.
 The first-mentioned Bump Sykes. was met by Policeman Ed, Jefferson about eight o'clock Thursday eYen- .ng as he was coming through an alley in the business portion of the city. He had a sack thrown over his shoulder full of clothing of all klnds. The officer took the darky to the poi4rc br,.. q lafters where he was further searched. A large mum Der of bread tickets were found in his pockets. These tickets were stolen from the Mccain Grocery company Wednesday night
 Sykes was an employe O the F. c. Cross commission company. Upon learning Of the negro's arrest Mir. Cross informed the police that he had been missing money from his cash drawer for several days, but was waiting with the hopes of catch ing the guilty one Sykes had a large amount of cash on his person.
 John Johnson and Mump Sykes, a brother to Bump, were captured by Officers Jefferson and Culpepper while they were in ". s. Rowell's grocery store on West Second ave nue. which place they had entered by picking the lock of 8 side door. They were also taken to police headquarters and searched, Mount Sy&es also had a large number Of the Mccain bread tickets in his pos session.
 The police were notified of the robbery of Mr, Felix Smart's gro eery store on West Sixth avenue. They went to the scene and after en- tering the store found John Spicer and Elijah Stewart in the store enjoying themselves to their hearts content on cheese and crackers and other delicious eltab.es. They were added among the number in the jail. The police have an eye on others implicated in the robbery and their arrests will probably occur today
 Some misereant entered the resi- dence of Mrs. Tsola Benton on East Sixth avenue during the "wee sma'' hours of Thursday night by priAing open the rear kitchen window. He seemed to take fancy to MT. Will Benton's wardrobe, as almost every thing in. the shape of clothing own ed by this gentleman was taken. MT. Benton. is singing MT, bring my clothes back home, but up to the hour of going to prtss the rob Der hasn't listened to his song.
 
 Chief Craig and bis efficient corps of assistan ts have been working faithfully 10 capture this band of robbers for seYeraE days and they deserve much praise for their sue cess.

Talbott & PaImor's Cotton Letter


 By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
 New Orleans, August 1.-The small sales at Liverpool today confirm our prediction of a recent date to the effect that the foreign spinner would withdraw from the market in consequence of MT. Neilrs first gun. Such action on their part can be readily understood as the promise of banner crop means lower prices, in their estimation for the raw material. How long they can deprive them selves of their necessary wants for the trade knows that every mill in operation Is well engaged into the new year, remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however. and that is the longer they remain away from the point of supply the greater VIII their appetite grow. and it may end to their sorrow in placing too much conf- dence in the midsummer crop dreams Of their idol We would advise our friends in cotton to look up Nell's record in 92-93, 95-96. and 96-97 crops before accepting his conclusions on this crop without reserve. In the season of 92-93 we find that he was one million out of way on six and three quarter million crop Tn the summer Of !5 he started wrong two million crop on seven million crop, and his last estimate of nine million crop of 96-97 was wrong by one million bales. Therefore it is more than probable that he may be wrong again this year, and if he is not wrong on the crop then it may be on the price that he will be wrong, as it frequently happens. If any disaster overtakes this crop Mare chal Neills' become as scarce in cotton market as will a bear on futures.

 Business was more active and the tone brighter in the markets here today. An optomistic view was taken of the outcome of the Transvaal affair. and the money po- sition was much better on the favorable bank statement. The rise in sterling eX change in New York rendered unnecessary a change in the bank rate Americans were strong and active, more business be- ing done in them today than in the pre- vious fortnight.

 Birmingham, August Hour market here opened feverish. Liverpool showed about 3-64 decline, and overnight selling here and the European sales caused some weakness and slight declines here. At the close in Liverpool our market promptly hardened again and we closed at highest prices of the day. Texas advices were not as good as generally expected. Rains over that state were not evenly distributed and complaints are coming from some points in the Indian Territory. Port receipts today were 1O26: net since September 1, S,339, 64 !

Texas rains have undoubtedly helped the crop. but the remarkably adverse con- dtions which set in last year were sixty days later than the present date. It should not be lost sight of that MT. Neill's big es- innate may yet prove half to one million bales in excess of the final yield. Many consider that the reaction so far sufficient for present prospects and 1t is quite prob able that the low price will again prove a stumbling block to much fr1ther depres- sion

LESS ACTIVITY IN
 COTTON MARKET Unsatisfactory Weather Condi-
 tionS in the Belt. TEXAS WEATHER VERY HOT Element in Favor of Bulls is Exception in Consumption-Pr Prices Were
 Finally Steady At
 Net Gain
TEXAS WEATHER VERY HOT

New York, August 17.-The cotton mar ket was less active today. The first call developed a weak feeling with prices points higher to 3 points lower. Later the general market showed a general decline of 3a5 points, liquidation being the cause, following unsatisfactory cables and lack of outside speculative support The market rallied partially later on unsatisfactory weather conditions in the cotton belt, 1t being feared that insufficient rain had fallen. The fact that the weather in Texas continues very hot, as well as in other parts of the southwest added to the ap- prehensions of the bear contingent in con nection with the fact that no rains are ln- dicated by the government reports.
 During the afternoon the market was comparatively tame, but generally quite steady. There was no selling in the lat ter part of the session for short account on the theory that higher prices ruling for cotton would stimulate an early movement Of the new crop, and that the influence of receipts would be to keep spot buyers from anticipating their wants to any greas extent, thus leading to stock aceumua- tions. An element in the confidence of the bulls is the favorable condition of the cot exception in consumption of cotton. The market was finally steady al n2l s3ln or l to points.

Kentucky's Champion Duelist.

Joseph Bowman, who recently died
In Jessamine county, Kentucky, at the
ripe old age of "a years, was the fight
er Of four desperate duels in each Of
which he succeeded in killing his an
tagonist. In 184S, while living in Mis-
sissippi, he quarreled with a man
named Smelling, and by agreement
they were tied together, armed with
bowie knives and put into a dark room.
Although frightfully cut himself, Bow
man came out victor. His next duel
was in 1854, when he had a dispute
with a Spaniard named Domingo.
Armed with knives, they made for each
other, and Bowman severed the Span
iard's head from his body.
When the wal broke out, Bowman
enlisted on the confederate side. After
the wal he fought a duel with a cousin,
named Williams. The combat was
with pistols at ten PAGES, and Bowman
wounded his antagonist SO badly that
he died. Bowman's last encounter vas
only a few years ago, when in a hand
to hand conflict with Joe" Miller,
who was known as the bad Man from
Racine" he came out victorious, kill
ing Miller without receiving as much
as a scratch.

They were waiting for the 5:45 p. m.
New York train-five Italian boot
blacks in a group on the platform of
Mamaroneck station, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Why there
and in such numbers with only him
self-taking the season by the fore
lock for summer board-the passing
stranger could only wonder idly as
he watched them seated in a dirty but
attentive semicircle, each on his black
ing kit, before the eldest of them, a
we'll grown, handsome lad of about Is.
He was seated fiat upon the station
platform, braced against the warm red
brick of the station wall, a picturesque
figure, picturesquely occupied. He had
cut a branch from a tree and had fash
Toned it, dexterously enough, into that
first OF all musical instruments, a
shepherds pipe. And he was playing
on it, as the shepherd in "Tannhau-
ser" plays when he sings about the
lovely May. 1t was May 1, too, as it
happened, and a beautiful May l, as
this last one was. Spring in the air;
on the trees about the station the first
flmy shadowing of green; fltering
through it the golden haze of the de-
Ginning sum-, and there, against the
warm red background of the station
wall the comely lad, dreamily at ease,
with the tattered flap of his soft hat
flung back and his black-fringed eye
lids pensively downcast, as he played
his shepherds pipe-but did the real
shepherds pipes sound like that, the
passing stranger wondered, on old Hy-
mettus' heights? Say, boy" said a
prosaic Irish workman, coming along,
putting with haste, and covered with
the lime and plaster of his days Job,
