COTTON BULLS SUFFER.
RECESSION IN THE MARKET DUE TO
VARIOUS CAUSES.

After having matters entirely their own way
for the last few days the bulls lost control Of the
cotton market yesterday. It became the turn Of
the bulls to experience of the fright to which
the bears have been subjected for the greater
part OF the week Prices. which had risen 81 bale
IN three days up to Thursdays closing, broke
yesterday. The opening figures showed declines
of from % to 80 points and the rush to iquidate
was marked by almost much excitement as
there had been in the previous haste to buy.
The slump caused by the stampede or the
local SPECTATORS for profits, by liqudations or
purchases made on Thursday in expectation of an
other Liverpool bulge yesterday and under heavy
Southern and foreign selling. A drop of from IL
TO l4z points In the English market, after opening
4 to points higher in response to the advance
here tended primarily to knock the bottom out of
the local bull movement This drop was attrib-
uted to the determination the part Of the Man
chester spnners to refuse to follow any further
advancement in price by going to the extremity,
if necessary. OF closing down their mills.
It was said yesterday by local cotton men that
there little probability of the decision OF the
Manchester manufacturers not to buy September
cotton being adhered to. 1t was pointed out that
the step taken by the LIVERPOOL and Man.
chester spinners did bind the absentees'
and that they. as has sometimes been done in
this country could buy for those who had entered
into the agreement to close down.

the village of Havre de Grace with
three pieces of cannon. It was called
potato Battery" 1t was reported that
an attack was planned for the LIST of
May, but as it was not made the alarm
began to subside On the night of the
I'd of May there was perfect quiet in
Havre de Grace.
The inhabitants went to sleep more
peacefully than they had done for a
month. They were suddenly awakened
at dawn by the din of arms. Fifteen to
twenty barges, filed with British
troops, were discovered approaching
Concord point, on which the lighthouse
now stands. The guns on higher Point
Comfort, manned by a few lingering
militia, opened upon them, and these
were answered by grapeshot by the en-
emy's vessels. The drums in the vii
lage beat to arms. The affrighted in
habitants, half dressed, rushed to the
streets, the noncombatauts flying in
terror to places of safety.
The confusion was cruel It was in
creased by a fight of kissing rockets
which set houses in flames. These were
followed by more destructive bomb
shells, and while the panic and fire
were raging in town the enemy landed.
A strong party debarked in the cove by
the present lighthouse, captured the
small battery there and pressed for
ward to seize the larger one. All but
eight or ten of the militia had fed
from the village, and John O'Nelll, a
brave Irishman, and Philip Albert
alone remained at the battery. Albert
was hurt, and O'Neill attempted to
manage the heaviest gun alone.
He loaded and discharged it, when
by it's recoil his thigh was injured, and
he was disabled. They both hurried
toward the town and used their mus
kets until compelled to fly toward the
open common, near the Episcopal
church, pursued by British horseman.
There O'Neill was captured, but Albert
escaped. The brave Irishman was car
ried on board the British frigate Maid
stone and in the course of a few days
was set at liberty. The guns of the
captured battery were turned upon the
town and added to the destruction. A
greater portion of the enemy rushed up
the open common, separated into
squads and commenced plundering and
destroying Systematically, officers and
men entering into the business with
equal alacrity.
Finally when one-half of the village
had been destroyed Cockburn, the in
stigator of the crime, went on shore
and was met on the common by several
ladies who had taken refuge in an ele-
CANT brick house some distance from
the village known as the Prfngle man
sion. They entreated him to spare the
remainder of the village and especially
the roof that sheltered them. He yield
ed with reluctance and at length gave
an order for a stay of the plundering.
Finally when nearly the whole village
ha@ been destroyed and the greatest
instance of vandalism perpetrated the
marauders assembled once more in
their vessels in the stream and at SUD-
set sailed out into the bay to pay sim
liar visit to villages on the Sassafras
river.

MARCHING TO ZION.
Ten Thousand People Gather at Ben
ton to Assist in Consecrating
the Temple Site.
MANY FROM KENosHA PRESENT
DR.. John Alexander Dowie Conducts the
Services in Person emple Will be the
Greatest Built in the Northwest.

Were marching, to Zion, sang ten
thousand people Saturday enroute
to Benton from Chicago to attend the
solemn services in connection with the
conservation of the site of the first
temple erected for the worship occord-
ing to the Christian Catholic faith. It
was the greatest day in the history of
Benton, and never was SO great crowd
gathered in the neighborhood of the
state line. The people came from all
parts of the country and, while the
greater part of the crowd was from
Chicago, many people came from other
states and even from the sea coasts to
attend the ceremonies. Several hun
dred people went down from Kenosha
to Zion, but the greater portion of them
were drawn to the city by curiosity and
only few of them were followers of
the divine healer.
The services attending the breaking
of the ground for the temple were of
solemn nature. A large auditorium
seating 1000, had been erected and
this was crowded to the doors and
On platform was seated a chorus Of
200 and the officers of Zion TO the mum
Der of 100. DR.. Dowie opened the SER
vice with IN invocation after which the
choir sang several anthems and Mrs.
Jane Dowie, wife of the general over
seer, read the scripture. DR.. Dowie
then preached the conservation sermon
which was followed by the parade
which was the feature of the day. The
hosts of Zion marched about the site
singing the songs of the sect. Thrice
they marched about the temple site,
after which DR.. Dowie, with his own
hands, broke the ground for the temple,
which will be the rival to the great
Mormon one at Salt Lake City. The
memb ers will remain at Benton until
p. M, when the great crowd will re-
turn to Chicago on special trains.
The temple will be put up on a space
$50 feet square, and when completed
will be 800 feet high. 1t will be inithe
middle of a reserve of 200 acres and
will be surrounded by a garden and
park The administration building
and the homes of the officers of the
church will be erected within this in
closure. The remainder of the acre
age will be devoted to factories, resi-
dences and bou1evards, which will be
under the jurisdiction of the general
overseer and his cabinet. The temple
site consists of solid clay to depth of
100 feet.
The present auditorium will be al
lowed to remain for two or three years
at least, and it is probable that SER
vices will be conducted within its con-
fines during the summer months pend
ing the completion of the new temple.

John White, Of This City, Met With a
Horrible Accident at South Mil
waukee Thursday Morning.
CRUSHED UNDER THE WHEELS
The Kenosha Man Attempted to Jump on a
Moving Train and was Pulled Under
Taken to the General Hospital

John White, aged twenty-one years
and son of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
White, residing at 81 Congress street,
met with a terrible accident at South
Milwaukee Thursday, and while he
still survives the injuries little hope is
entertained for his recovery. The
accident happened shortly after nine
O'Clock.
Young White had been in Milvau-
kee since Tuesday night and had
started to return to his home in this
city. He had stopped at South Mil
waukee, hoping to find some work at
that little village, and failing in his
search he attempted to board a moving
south bound train near the station at
South Milwaukee. The train was
moving very rapidly and it was not
possible for the boy TO get footing
and he was thrown directly under the
wheels of the cars. Several cars
passed over the PROSTATE form before
the train could be stopped.
The injured man was picked up in an
unconscious condition and taken back
W ll1C w 1SNOuSAA AAOS p4ld4 q
Milwaukee. An investigation showed
that he had been horribly injured. The
entire lower portion of his body was
crushed and both legs were almost
severed from the body. When consci-
BUSINESS returned the doctors decided
that an operation would be necessary
at once in order to pro1ong the life Of
the young man and both legs were am
putated, the one at the thigh and the
other at the knee. The entire body of
the injured man was covered with bruis-
es and a large scalp wound was found
at the back of his head but he stood
the operation remarkably we'll and it is
thought that he has bare chance to
recover.
AS soon as the accident happened
Whites father and brothers in this
CITY were notified and hurried to the
bedside. They returned this afternoon
and state that while the young man is
II a very dangerous condition he is
perfectly conscious and they have
hopes for his recovery.
John White was great favorite
with the boys employed at the Sim
mons factory, and these men will
be sorry to hear of his very
serious injury.
