She married Henry Thompson.
Upon the death Of her father and her
husband, Mrs. Thompson became the
possessor Of a fortune in real estate and
bonds amounting TO about $4,000. she
lived quietly for a time, but one day
her eye fell upon a matrimonial per
sonal IN a newspaper. She answered the
personal, ana from this dates her iuan-
cial ruin.
A brief correspondence followed the
answering Of the personal, between Will
liam T. Cox. Of San Francisco. and Mrs
Thompson. Cox came on aud Mrs ThOmp-
son was so smitten with him that they
were married. Cox inveigled his wife into
giving him possession of the bonds and
cash, and she even mortgaged a part Of
her property before he deserted her
Mrs. Cox worried over her troubles until
she became slightly unbalanced mentally.
Six months ago foreclosure was placed on
the valuable piece Of State Street property.
and Mrs. Cox's furniture was taken to the
almshouse, where Il was placed In a room
to await her arrival. She disappeared then.
and the letter from the New York Board
Of Charities is the first tidings of her
since she left here.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The painters who
have been working on the house of John
ID. Rockefeller. at Fifty fourth Street and
Fifth Avenue, struck yesterday by order
of the walking delegates of the Amalga-
mated Society Of Painters. About two
weeks ago the varnishers who are at work
in the house were ordered on strike by the
walking delegates Of their union. The rea-
son given was that some of the painters
were doing vanishing, and they were over
stepping their proper bounds. The strike
was soon settled amicably to all concerned
The trouble broke out afresh yesterday
and the painters, through orders from
their walking delegates, said they would
refuse to work in any building with the
varnishers- They therefore struck. The
strike had no sooner been ordered thau
the places left vacant were filled by paint
ers from the German Painters Union.

COTTON TOOK q AN UPWARD TURN After Poor Start Business Made
 Lively Move. >. THE ADVANCE CAME RAPID Reports That Crops Were Backward and That Acreage Was Not Turn
 ing Out as Predicted Caus-
 ed the Rise

New York, March 22lThe cotton market turned sharply upwards today after a poor start. The volume of business was more satisfactory than the average of the past few weeks. Influenced by bearish cables, clear weather map, and generally favorable crop report accounts from the southwest, the market opened steady 3 to points lower on near and points lower to 1 higher on far months.
 The local liquidation and scarcity of buy CTS were supplementary In influences in de- pressing the market during the first half hour. Then came a rapid and decided ad- vance on energetic foreign buying of the far months, and a sudden change In the purport of the later cables from the low market. Low shorts took to cover, and soon good buying orders were coming in from the south.
 Before the upward movement had been checked, prices had reached a level ten points above the average, and for the rest of the day the market held well up to these figures on a promise of a bullish showing of statistics tomorrow The port movement was smaller than expected, but offsetting this feature was the more liberal showing at the interior receiving points than anticipated.
 Reports that crops were backward and that the acreage was not turning out so large as predicted in January, were the causes given for the scare of shorts in Liverpool. On the rise here the investment public sold the present crop for profit, and bought the far months light Closed steady 4@10 points higher.

 the List
BEARS HAVE TURNED BULLS

New York, March 22LThe railroad stocks day. The demand for all grades of this class of securities reached imposing pro- portions, and the buying came from all de- grees of investors and speculators, large and small. The individual investor was in evidence as a buyer of fractional lots all through the list, and some of the heavy . buying was attributed to the account of banking interests and insiders in the vari- ous properties. The professional board room traders on the floor of the exchange have turned bulls to a man, and the spec- ulators of larger calibre and speculative pools made their operations manifest in the volume of the transactions. Individual transactions to the extent of 1000 shares was usual as to attract little attention, while many lots of 2,OOO to 1 300 were record ed on the tape. Norfolk and Western and Atehison stock took the most conspicuous place in the trading, but there were impress sive transactions at different times during the day In Union Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio. Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, Northern Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio. and late in the day in Southern Railway.
