COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, June 14.-COTToN-.
Everything pointed TO further substan-=

as well as an exhibition of confidence on
the part OF certain New Orleans inter-
ests recently credited with the engineer
ing of q summer month bulge added to
the NERVOUSNESS OF shorts, while at the
same time serving to create triendliness
toward the market and investment cir
cles. The opening was steady, with prices
3 to points higher, later increased to a
matter Of 6 to II points All things work
ed together for the interest of the bull
faction most CT the morning, but toward
midday light protit-taking Sc in and ma
tcrially cut down the lead, though in no
way undermining the convictions of stall
wart longs. Private wires reported eX-
ceSsive rains in the Memphis district and
in the central belt. Southern spot mar
kets were reported to have taken a 1ir1ner
turn on Increased export demand, While
the official forecast pointed TO further
rains over the country west OF Texas.
The whole character OF the market
changed suddenly soon after midday I'M
der a wild scramble to sell for both &C
counts, under which prices fell to below
the closing of last night. The break owed
its existence primarily to a runor that
a worldwide known New York CONNER
cial house had suspended without warn
ing. 1t was later proved, however, that
the house in question had closed its doors
for the day only, owing to the death OF
a member of the firm. The contradiction
failed to reassure the bull crowd, how
ever, and throughout the rest of the
afternoon the market was feoble and
nervous, with prices unable to rally much
from the low point of the day. On the
downturn the South and Europe We're
reading sellers, though considerable long
stuff came out. The close was quiet,
with prices = to . points net lower.

ELDER WATT
WAS ALMOST DROWNED

Rehoboth. Del, Aug 25-The most
desperate rescue from drowning that
Rehoboth has yet known, and which
stirred the entire populace because of
the prominence of the parties involved.
occurred yesterday at bathing hour.
The Rev. Or. w. II. Watt, presiding
elder OF the Wilmington district, went
in bathing and was taking care of Miss
Cam. of Wilmington, who is a guest
of the Rev DR.. Murray, when they
were both carried beyond their depths
and called for help. Captain N r.
Leach was swimming near at hand and
went at once to their rescue, but Dr.
Watt caught his right arm above the
elbow and Miss Cam grasped his left
wrist with both her hands, and he was
unable to break their holds and all
three were dragged down.
In the meantime the bathers on the
beach saw the condition of things and
the Rev. Mr.. Blackstone and the life
guard made for them, the latter with
a buoy and lifeline. Mr.. Blackstone
reached them first and was able to dis
lengage Mr. Watts and carry him safe
to shore.
The buoy was placed within reach o
captain Leach, who caught it. and the
hundred willing Lands pulled will
might and main-indeed so hard anC
fast that both the imperiled batheri
were dragged under water and thl
lifeline broke near the buoy, but tn,
Halter supported the two until tn,
waves brought them within thei
depths, and they were carried out o
the water thoroughly exhausted.

Williamsport, Pa, Aug. 25.-Mrs.
William Spencer, a widow, living in

Every one of the 80 men took hold OF
the rope and started on a run to a tree
which was about 200 yards away. When
the tree was reached Leonard was In
bad shape. His body was cut and badly
bruised, and the life was almost choked
out OF him. When he was sufficiently

His statement was not regarded as be

INEMEMORY OF HER SON
Lines Composed by Mother Of Willie
II. Eisher

ii. Fisher
Fifteen years ago to-day Willie II.
Fisher died in this city. His loving
mother still cherishes his memory and
grieves over his grave. A day or two
ago she went to Green Hill Cemetery,
composed these lines, and yesterday
brought them to the Evening Journal
office with a request that they be
printed.
Just fifteen years ago to-day
Our Willie left his earthly home,
To live with God in Paradise,
And never more to roam.
When taken i'll it seemed he knew
His time on earth was done
He put his arms around my neck:
You'll lose your loving SON"
AS neighbOrs filled our home Of griei
We bathed his aching brow.
He smiled, and said: Don't fret, nam.
ma,
Well meet above. / know.
And in that land Of love and Joy
I'll dwell with pa and you,
And breathe the sweet incense o
heaven
The great White Throne in view.
We bowed in sad submission
To the mighty will of God,
And in the Green Hill burying grouni
We laid him meath the sod
The love-in-tangle on his grave
Falls green above his head
And gives its fragrance to the air
In the CITY of the Dead"
You're not forgotten, Willie, dear,
Nor never will you be
While life and mem'ry clings TO us,
Well always think Of thee.
