Wool.

BOSTON, May 2s.-The market is less active In
appearance than last week. The sales this week
have been almost entirely to manufacturers, who
found themselves in a most embarrassing posi-
ton. The wholesale organization Of trusts makes
IT most undesirable for them to purchase wool
until II is determined whether they are in or out
OF some combination. Meantime they see their
supplies approaching a vanishing point. with a
rising market against them. The American Wool
en- Company is buying wool right and left and
storing II in Boston for future distribution among
the mills connected with that organization. The
prices being paid in Texas are higher than the
equivalent prices obtainable in the market to-day
for spring wool. All European markets are ex-
cepttonally strong. Domestic wool OF good char
acter has advanced beyond the exporting point.
but the exporters are still buying defective wool.
The sales of the week are 4.62. 500 lbs domestic
and 649. 900 foreign a total Of 5. 22, 600 lbs. against
q. 45e. 900 last week and 2. 754. 900 for the same week
last year. The sales to date show an increase of
$500. 100 lbs domestic and II, 34l. 800 foreign over
the sales to the same date in 1898. The receipts
to date show an increase OF IS. s26 bales domestic
and a decrease Of 10. 3S5 bales foreign.

Brakeman Meets Death While Fir
ing n Locomotive.
PORT DEPOSIT, Nd. Nov. 13.-The
boiler Of locomotive drawing a freight
train on the Frederick division Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad exploded about q
mile above Port Deposit Friday night about
II O'Clock. killing Abraham o. Neff, front
brakeman, and painfully scalding Engineer
Michael Donohoe.
The rear end OF the boiler was blown out
through the firebox. and as Nef1 was en-
gagged in firing at the time he received the
full force of the explosion and was driven
back over the tender against the end Of the
first car Of the train. 1t is supposed that
his body then dropped down between the
tender and the car, as it was found on the
track after the train had passed over 1t
and come to standstilr. He was fright
fully scalded and crushed. Engineer Dom
oboe was at his position at the throttIe
when the explosion occurred and escaped
from the engine with difficulty, being al
most overcome by steam. The regular
fireman had gone to the caboose to eat .
lunch, and Brakeman Neff had taken his
place temporarily when the explosion oc-
CURED.
Neff leaves a widow and one child, who

A LOCAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE.
The Colleges to Combine and Only
Play Each Other.

The students of Georgetown and the CAL
laudet colleges are considering the adyisa-
bility of forming an intercollegiate football
association in the District. There is hard
iy any doubt but that the association will
be formed. as the students have learned to
realize the necessity of mutual support
among the college teams. The three local
universities. Columbian. Georgetown. and
Gallaudet. thus banded together will be
able to play the game only with college
teams. and will have nothing to do with
athletic clubs. Football in the District has
never been under the restriction Of any
set rules, but has been allowed to continue
year after year without any restrictions
on the players. The new association WILL
therefore. limit the time of playing of each
college player to four years Another good
action which the association will bring
about will be the playing of all large
games On 4 neutral ground
One of the causes of the small attend
arce to local football games is the mac
cessibility to the grounds on which they
are played Next year. if every large game
is played in the National Park, much larg-
er attendance is assured
Immediately after the close of the pres
ent season the students of the local col
lege5 will hold a meeting to discuss the
pros and cons of the football situation and
will form the intercollegiate Football As
sociation OF the District of Columbia.
This move on the part of the colleges
will be rather hard On the Young Mems
