Richmond was the scene of two ac'
cidents-One fatal, and another thai
might have been far more appalling
one was barely escaped. c. M. Baker
a highly respected white man, was IN
stantly killed by the falling of the IN
terror walls of the old Exchange Hot |
which is being demolished 10 make
way for large modern store building.
Mr.. Baker was the foreman of gang
OILS men engaged in tearing down tn
debris and piling it up near by. MOI
knowing that Baker was in danger,
some of the workmen pushed over a
wall This fell upon Baker, cruSSfhg
him to death. The man was warned
by those inside of the building, VINO
saw his danger, but calls were not
heard by the doomed man.
The falling CT derrick in the cana
bed at the foot of Ninth street resulted
in the probable fatal injury OF j. u.
Williams, an inspector of concrete
work for the James River CONSTRUCTOR
Company The falling derrick cam
near catching number of other work
men under it. These latter, however,
dashed for their lives and escaped. MI
Williams is a New Yorker, about D
years of age, and highly regarded in
Richmond. He was removed to hcs
pital, where his condition is co-sid>rea
as extremely critical.

CATTLE-Thcre were no fresh receipts
of cattle today to speak of. Not a SlnsIt
load of steers was reported on the inarket
and only five loads of cows ana ntllel9'
There were a few dds and ends OF feeders
and four loads direct to packers, whlch
were not offered for sale. The Few cattle
on sale sold in about yesterdays notcheS
and the market was without change OF I'M
portanCe.
The best cornfed steers have sold at about
steady prices this week, and the demand
has been good and the market as n rule
active on that kind. The offerings of really
desirable cattle have been light, and only
one bunch was received during the week
good enough to bring $500. On the other
hand, the market on the common to me-
dunn kinds has been slow and the tendency
has been lower, the loss for the week on
that kind amounting to 10d15c, some would
say 10G2Oc. Shippers must bear in mind
that common and half fat cattle sell very
uneven, that is, when buyers just happen
to have use for a few they will pay pretty
good prices, and again, cattle of the same
kind will not bring nearly as much just
because no one happens to have "A place for
them.
Cows and heifers declined considerably
during the last few days, and for the week
it is safe to quote the market l5a25c lower.
Even good heifers sold lower, but as a
matter of course the decline was the hcaVi-
est on the less desirable stuff. Gamers
have declined 25d4Oc on account of a change
in the manner of selling. 1t has been GUS
tOmary to sell the most of the common
Gamers at this point subject to inspection
by the government officers at the packing
houses. In case the carcass was condemned
the shipper lost it. Under the new rule
the stuff is sold on its merits for what it is
supposed to he worth, and if the govern
ment condemns it the buyer Is the loser.
Stockers and feeders have been in active
demand all the week, and as the supply
has been small the market has gradually
firmed up and at the close of the week
1t is as high as it ever was, or higher. The
country has seemed to want feeders re-
CARELESS of price and have paid extremely
high prices. Representative sales:
