LOOKING FOR EVERETT.
Was Short in His Accounts and Desert
 ed His Regiment.

Chicago, February S-Officials at division army headquarters are seeking the where abouts of Lieutenant J. B. Everett, of Con- pany A, Fourth Wisconsin volunteer in- fantry regiment, who recently deserted at Anniston, Ala. While the regiment was at Fort Douglass, Wis, last fall Lieutenant Everett acted as the commissary officer and handled large amounts of money in the pur- chase of supplies.
 When the regiment was ordered south Lieutenant Everett went with it. few weeks ago he was granted furlough, but for some reason failed to return at the ex- piration of the leave of absence. Major Smith, chief commissary of the depart ment of the lakes, in looking over his &C., counts came across several bills for pro- visions purchased while the Fourth Wiscon- sin was at Camp Douglass. He addressed letter to Lieutenant Everett at once asking for an immediate settlement of the ac- count.
 Today letter was received from Captain William M. Agnew at Anniston saying that Lieutenant Everett had deserted and fled. The letter also stated that his name had been stricken from the regimental roll. Major Smith has ordered full investiga- ton of Lieutenant Everett's accounts while acting as commissary, and says if any shortage is found he will ordor Everett's arrest.

A BLOW AT BOSS QUAY

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Senator Matthew S. Quay was dealt a stunning blow at the republican primary in Lebanon county Saturday. The election was to nominate a candidate for the vacancy in the state senate caused by the election of Senator Gobin to the lieutenant-gover- norship. The canvass was one of the hot test in the history of the country. The re- tiring senator. General Goblin, was strong adherent of Quay, and the friends of the Senator confidently expected to nominate Dr. Gerberlich, a prominent and influential citizen of the city of Lebanon. But the anti-Quayites were determined and aggres- sive and put forward Dr. Weiss, also citi- zen of Lebanon. The result of Saturdays election was the nomination of pr. Weiss by at least 1900 majority. The Quayites are crestfallen over their overwhelming defeat, whilst 1t is regarded as certain that the anti-Quayites in the Pennsylvania legisla- ture will be greatly strengthened in their opposition to the reelection of MT. Quay by the result in Lebanon.

 Along with his report on the commis- sioners court of Jefferson county, Exam iner Cowan finds the sworn testimony of the commissioners themselves, and copies of this testimony were sent in to each house of the general assembly with the message of the governor and examiners 5 report.
 Here is an extract from MT. Laceys testi- mony to his per diem for 1S97:.
 Q-Did you lose any time from September 1896, to September, 1897?
 A-No, sir.
 Q-You charged for every day?
 A-Yes, sir; every day except holidays and Sundays
 Q-Now, 1 will state for the year 1897 you drew $l,570 which is for one more work day than is in the year. Now, how do you ae- count for that?
 A-Oh, it's a mistake, l guess.
 The quotation from the Birmingham Led ger given above, and the extract from MT Laeey's testimony makes an interesting contrast The paper states that he was married in June, 1897, and went away on a bridal trip.
 The books show that MT. Lacey drew pay for every day of that year, Sundays eX- cepted, and one more day besides. MT. La cey himself swears that he lost no time that year, and he drew his per diem for every day.

Cotton Market Continues Steady
 With Slight Advance.
FALL OFF IN PORT RECEIPTS
Undertone Was by no Means Weak, and Sorae Parties Took Advantage of the Monetary Set Back by In-
 creasing Their Lines.

New York, February S.-Advices from southern spot markets were of a favorable character as were also the later advices from spinning markets, while port receipts fell off
 Advices along this line were strongly bullish, it being claimed that for the re- mainder of the season the movement would develop the fact that the proportion of the cotton already marketed to the total crop had been unusually rapid. Good parties had adyices to this effect, and the undertone of the local market was by no means weak. Some parties, already heavy long, took ad- vantage of today's setback by increasing their lines of cotton.
 The market was finally steady with prices one point lower to two points higher.

Paine. Murpby & Co.'S Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy x Co.
 Birmingham, February S.-Liverpool ca bles showed a slight advance this morning. Prices on the local market were a shade higher The world visible showed a small CT increase than expected but large com- pared with year ago. Today's export de- mand was good, while northwestern re- ceipts showed a decided falling off. Dur ing the last hour shorts covered and very fair buying movement set in, prices at the close showing an advance for the day or 1 cent per bushel for the day. About the only strength is the short interest, which runs to cover on any damage report. Corn and oats were benefited by strength in wheat, and we look for small receipts next week. A better hog market helped provis- ions, but packers are selling and this line will advance very slowly at present.
