W. Barnhsrdt, assistant general freigbt agent, and A. S. Dodge general traffic manager. The general con- dinon aud prospects are given as follows:
 Corn-On tbe south end of our line ia the neighberhood of Lewis vile and Garland City, the crop is good. Oo the Shreveport branch it is only fair, being small and back ward in some sections. On the line from Lewisville to Pine Bluff, it is poor, being very small and yellow, due to excessive rains. Ia the neighborhood of Pine Bluff aud on the Little Rock branch, it is some better, but on the whole not an average crop. From Joaesboro to St. Francis it is only fair. On our line in Missouri, Maiden to Birds Point, it is splendid The crop is made and there will be a large yield
 Oats-There was little or no oats planted for market on our entire line. Some few stations in Missouri and North Arkansas will have 8 little. That raised on our line is merely for home consumption aud only fair.
 Wheat-There was TO wheat plant ted to amount to anything south of Jones sboro. 1onesboro and north, inct4ding our line ir Mis- souri, wheat crop is good aod there will be good yield. There is some little damage aeeouet of too much frain.
 ZGottoe-Cotton a.ong=our line is very backward, at least taree or four weeks due to late spring, cold weather and excessive raias. Tue crop in Red river valley in the neighberhood Of Garland City and on the Shreveport branck is fair and with d few weeks warm weather will bring it out ia good shape. On our ljae batweea Pine t1tuf and LewtsRiIle, cotton IS +snall and back ward, but oa whole the crop is considered very pood fas this sec. tion 6f the country. The plant is never large aoa the yield rarely ever 5n exness ot half tale to the acre. In the neg hborhood of Lew isville tt Garland City, seane of the crops are badly j1 the grass.
 Aloog the Arkansas river in the neighborhood of Pine Bq1ff and Little Rock braneh, cottoa is poor, due to excessive rGins and late cold spring Most all of the Erops on the LittIe Rock branch, AItheimer to England, are very badly in the grass aad some fields haze been abandoned. The crop north of Al theimer9 including that in Missouri, is in fair shape. except that it IS small and backward and in some places suffering on account af too much rain.
 Fruits Peaches, apples and ] plums-Reports from all stations on our line in Missouri, Arkansas and Louislana indicate a better cvop than for yeacs, all doing well, but very few of our stations will have any for shipment outside of small quantities by express.

'BUDDIES" WON. A TEN INNING BALL GAME PLAYED AT JONES PARK
 TUESDAY. SCORE STOOD 1O-1O IN 9TH Franklin and Hunter Credited With the Two Winning
 Scores.
SCORE STOOD 10-1O IN 9TH

The Bud weIser baseball team 0I this city, and the Eagle Mills team of Eagle Mills, crossed bats at Jones park Tuesday evening. II was the first game of the season in Pine Bluff and the first appearance of the Bud- weisers on local grounds. A rather small crowd turned out to witness the game.
 The game was fairly well played throughout but was at times very tame. The wrangling during the first part of the game over the um- pire's decisions killed what little in- terest had been manifested. 4 MT. Jones from Fordyce umpired the game for several innings, but his de- cisions came very slow and we're not received with general satisfaction. Mir. E. A. Vowell took his place and umpired very sa atisfactorily. Duriag the last few innings the game was lotly played and interest began to revive. In the ninth inning the "Baddies' tied the tcore and the l Eagle boys, who were last at the bat, went out in one, two, three order. The tenth ianing was a for tanate one for the local aggregation. aa Franklin and Hunter scored and won the game. The Eagles were again gwen goose-egg and the score at the end Of the inning stood 12 to 10 ill the home boys Flavor.
 Campbell pitched pretty good ball 4 but he was little too free 0n giving 3 men bases on balls. During the six 4 innings he occupied the boa, Camp. ! He only struck out four men. In the seventh inRing he was sue ceeeded by ! Foazo Brewster. The latter Is a ] forcible twdrler and held the visitors ] down to few hits. lie gave two men bases 8n baMs and stfaek out four. Hunter caught with cle, CT { ness, Laying only one error to his credit. Fraaklin's running catch in left and VowelF's fl 7 taking were the star plays ef the afternoon.
 A catch by j i'm Allen and o@e by fsudolph were considered clever plays. Gantt's work on short was quick and up to the standard. He is an Philadelphia boy.
 Proctor pitched good ball. He struck out 2 men and sent only one man to first on balls. Both tea ms l had on their batting clothes and the pitchers were hit freely. The catch l ing of WYman was errorless. Tn all the game was well played and de- serving of Il large patronage. The "log rollers" as the rooters called them. are live players. They sur prised the spectators but the playing of the Bud weisers vas not aa good as we btlieve they can do. The team is composed of an aggregation of good players but they need more practice. If they had been iii their usual fine shape yesterday they would have walked away with the game. for some inexcusabIe errors and terrible throws were rcorGe l for tEe visitors.
 The last game will be played this afternoon.
 Following is the score by innings: Bud weisers. II l 0 l 3 0 0 2 2-12 Eagle Mills......0 2 Q 2 3 0 2 c 0 0-l0

FOUR MEN FOUND GUILTY.
Murderers of Jamie Bosschieter Indicted by
the Grand Jury of Paterson.
(Bv the Associated Press. J

New York. Nov. 2.-The grand jury at
Paterson. N. j., today handed up in
dictments against Walter c. McAlister,
George J. Kerr, VIM. A. Death and An
drew Campbell, who are charged with the
murder of Jennie Bosschieter, who was
drugged to death on October Is. There
were two indictments against each of the
young men, one for murder and the other
for rape, the first, it is said, also en-
bracing the latter.
1t is said that while the grand jury was
considering the case some of the mem
bers were disposed to find an indictment
against Sculthorpe, on his own admis-
sions, as an accessory to the assault, at
least, but they were in the minority. The
hackman claimed to know nothing about
the condition of the girl when she was
bundled into his rig and that when he
arrived at the Rock road, he was coerced
by two of the men, into doing as he was
told.
1t is alleged that before the case was
decided by the grand jury it was said that
Jennie's heart was weak and that it was
possible that this may have been the
cause of her death. There was no evil
dence that choral was administered, and
this point can only be determined by the
analysis of the stomach or by a confess
sion from one of the accused men. The
physicians could not say positively that
death was due to a poisonous drug.
The vote on the indictment is said to
have been unanimous.
The chemical analysis of the dead
girls organs has not been completed, and
no report has been made to the county
physician. Even if the analysis does not
establish the administration of the drug
it is said that the State may elect to
eliminate that feature of the matter and
proceed to trial upon the assumption that
the violence of the assault caused heart
failure and death and that would entail
the death penalty as much as the ad-
ministration of the drug.

FARMERS HOLD COTTON
Predictions Made That Eleven Million
Bales Are Needed.
THE EXPORT DEMAND UNDlNlNlSHED
Nine Months Trade Returns Show Gain in
Our Manufactured Goods Exported Of
twenty-five Per Cent Over
Year Ago.
(By the Associated Press.) }

New York, Nov. 2.-Bradsrrec: tomor-
row will say:
''Unseasonably warm weather continues
the leading directly unfavorabie feature
of distributive trade because of the
check given to retail distribution, and
therefore to recorder business in most
lines of dry goods, wearing apparel and
shoes. Conservatism in view of the near
approach of the Presidential election is
undoubtedly an element exercising con-
siderable influence, particularly in stock
speculation, but conspicuous exception
to this is found in the re-awakening of
demand and the advances in prices shown
in the iron trade in widely separated sec
tions. This is really one of the most
important developments of the week and
is taken as indicating not only that con-
fidence in election results is felt, but that
consumers stocks are down to a mini
mum.
Speculation on the various exchanges
has ruled rather slow. In wheat the
moving feature has been the reiteration
of stories of Argentine crop damage,
which was instrumental in inducing some
advance, much of which was lost later.
In cotton fear of frost damage has been
the moving factor, and here, also, some
advance has been scored from the low
point reached last week. Leading au-
thorities, look for an active demand for
the larger part of the years American
crop, and prediction that 11,000, 900 bales
are absolutely needed are made. Farmers
are slow to follow the price downward
and are reported holding for better
prices.
The export demand for cotton is ap-
parently undiminished and this week wit
nesses the heaviest single days exports
from New Orleans ever recorded.
Mine months trade returns show a
gain in manufactured goods exported of
% per cent over year ago, while the
increase in agricultural products was only
9.5 per cent, this latter increase being
entirely due to higher prices of cotton
as compared with last year. The out
look is for an aggregate export of manu-
factured goods this year Of az least
$4G4 900, 900, a total never heretofore APP
preached. A curious feature is that most
of the increase in import trade for the
nine months is in products designed to
be used by American manufacturers be-
ing the largest importers of foreign pro-
ducts.
Failures for the week in the United
States number 165 as against 161 last
week; ia in this week year ago, 1873 in
1898 and 223 each in 1897 and 1896.
