TRADE VERY MUCHCONFUSED

New York, October 25.-The market for cotton opened steady at a decline of 2@9 points, cables being disappointing and the average of crop news and other side in- huences being also bearish. After a further decline of 2QS points, however. the market made a sharp turn and advanced rapidly. From the lowest to the highest point of the session the improvement was a matter of 1SQ22 points with January reacting to S97 when the market again turned weak. Jan uary sold down to S.$ and the rest of the market eased off in proportion.
 The entire trade appeared to be very much confused and made new ventures with the greatest caution. From the low est to the closing prices there was an ad- vance of 11@1S points, with the market finally steady at a net advance of 6q12 points. The short interest was largely gov erned by fears of frost. So far as the weather bulletins were concerned, however, there was nothing to excite fears on this account, beyond the fact that in the center forming The receipts continued heavy, although estimates were inclined to smaller figures The momentum of the late heavy movement was so great nevertheless that most of the Southern markets were lower.

Valuable Things to Know.

Chloroform rubbed on mosquito bite
will cause the pain and itching to disap-
pear like magic, while the swelling will
rapidly decrease.
A sprinkling of coarse salt on the side
walks and driveways will destroy grass
and weeds
Whole cloves strewn about the pantry
shelves will keep red ants away and are
said to abolish moths.
A tablespoonful of borax to a pail OF
the water in which fannels are washed
will keep them soft and white.
Marks that have been made on paint
with matches can be removed by rubbing
first with a slice of lemon, then with
whiting and washing with soap and
water.

Talk of moving the state capitol from
Olympia is again heard, and it will not
be surprising if the idea makes such
Roadway that the legislature will take
action in the matter. Beyond doubt
the sentiment of the people of the state
is overwhelmingly in favor of taking it
from Olympia, and if the voters ever
have chance at it that out of the way
town will be without a capital.

One hundred years ago this month
Ireland lost all semblance of national
independence. Torn up by internal dis
agreements following the revolution,
Prime Minister Pitt, of England, took
advantage of the situation and planned
union under one parliament of Ireland
with Scotland and England. By the
purchase OF votes and promises for the
admittance of the Catholics to political
power the deal was consumated, but the
king would not uphold Pitt, and he
resigned his office rather than forfeit his

(COntributed.)
The old, dead leaves are fallen now
And cherries stands the trees,
AS mid their giant withered arms
Ye hear the wailing breeze;
The flowers are dead and gone,
The woods are lone and still,
The lovely songster of the grove
Has sung his last sad trill,
paint the distant mountains
With dull and sombre hue,
And spread my banner in the sky
OF deepest, coolest blue;
Iparalyze the gentle day
And make her footsteps late
AS she falters for admission
At the evenings golden gate.
] sow the seed of snow storms
Abroad in the gloomy air,
And from the western sea
| send the bowling winds to bear
A crystal freight OF sleet and snow
To scatter far and wide,
And clothe the dear old earth
In peerless Jewels as bride.
The mountain pines shall glisten
With their bristling, lev spears,
The lowly moss.eye watch my flight
Believed with frozen tears;
Each crystal flake and icy gem
Reflects a beauteous. tiny ray,
And the glories of the n idnieht
Exceed the splendor of the day.
But yet II mournful task is mine
Ere shall die aud pass away,
For 10! the footsteps Of the year
Wax feebler day by day,
And soon shall cease for aye
Their echo, tremulous and low
And then alone amid the gloom
OF darkest midnight must go
And lay that lifeess form at rest
within the shadowy cave
That opens for his gathering
In his hoary fathers grave.
And DER his tomb shall resign
My keen and ice-cold breath,
And mid the darkness sleep the sleep
OF silence and of death:
And through that sorrowing night
Our lone requiem shall be
The wailing of the mournful pines,
The signing of the sea;
And when the solemn midnight dirge
shall die upon the listening ear,
Then suddenly shall spring to life
The young and joyous year
The mellow chimes of many bells
Shall ring his advent in,
And many a joyous ingleside
Shall welcome friends and kin,
And smiles and gifts and greetings
Shall mingle gladly as they meet,
And with fervent New Year glow
Each heart shall warmly beat.

HIS HEAD CRUSHED
Negro Boys Horrible Death
On the Southern.
Tried to Steal a Ride and Fell Under the
Wheels. His Head Severed From
His Body.
(Snecial to News and Observer.)

Durham. n. c., June PA hor-
rible accident occurred on the South
ern Railroad last night, in which a
Young colored boy lost his life.
From what we al learn, it seems
that several cOlered boys had decided
to 90 to Raleigh last night to Wit
ness a game of ball which was to be
played there today, aud they were
intending to peat a freight train in
order to get there.
At S:45 o'clock, through freight No.
II, pulled out from the Southern
depot. \ few minutes later the re-
mains of Charlie Williams. a negro
boy, was found on the track mangled
most horribly. His skull and brains
lay at one place; some fifteen feet
farther down the track lay his body
and at least fifty feet from the body
was found one of his feet.
Charley Williams, Jim Williams,
Lancaster and Joe Vaughan, Nose
Rogers, Gus Chavis. Alfred and Jack
Johnson and Alex Holman, all negro
boys, under the age Of sixteen years,
had made a bargain to beat the train,
and when it came by Charley Viii
liams. who was behind the others,
caught at the train, and his com
panions thought that he had sue
ceeded in catching the rods. All Of
the others decided not to try to catch
the train, being afraid they could not
make it.
Still thinking that the older Will
liams boy had gone on to Raleigh,
they came back up the road and it
a hen hat they stumbled upon
the mangled remains of the compan-
ion they had left SO short a time be-
fore.
Capt. J.. A. White, agent of the
Southern. was soon on the scene and
took charge of the body, notifying the
mother of the boy. The woman an
nounced that she could not take care
Of his remains on account of her
poverty. The body was gotten togeth-
er and taken to the depot by the rail
road people under the direction of
Capt. White, and today the body was
taken to the County Home for burial.
Williams was some fourteen years
Of age.
None of the men on No. - knew
ought of the accident until it was tel
egraphed to Raleigh.
