thousand frantic white people surround
ed the fragile little lookup in the town
hall here tonight. Behind the cell bars
trembled William Fairfax and his wife.
BLACK Ell" both colored. who had lust
murdered William Moore, assistant ward
master in the Baltimore & Ohio yards
here.
Moore and Bagga gemaster johnson. of
the Fairmont branch train, were going
towards the Hotel Haas on Water street
through rear alley Johnston left Moore
and the latter, before he had gone a
moment, was assaulted suddenly by Fair
fax and his wife, who threw stones. Sew
eral people saw the woman dart forward
and the black man also, each hurting
the missiles. Moore was struck with a
brick on the head and fell forward. Quick
as a fash Fairfax leaned down over the
PROSTATE victim, ierked his watch from
! his pocket, took mis- money from his
clothing, and with wanton brutality took
the unconscious body in his arms and
hurled 1t over a stone wall, a distance
OF thirty feet. The fall broke Moore's
neck and he died instantly. In a moment
the town was on fire with excitement.
The woman continued to stone back the
crowd which pressed upon her. Fairfax
in the confusion fed. officers then took
the woman and hurried her up Main
to drag and carry her the entire distance
Fairfax was soon afterward secured and
placed in the lookup in the cell next to
his wife. In a few moments the jail was
surrounded by a bowling mob Of infuri-
ated men. In the midst of them were
Moore's three SONS. For two whole
blocks the crowd held sway and th5l-
shouts could be heard all over the town
The officers blockaded the narrow aisle
leading from the outer door to the cells.

The crowd kept battering at the doors.

prisoners, and shouting bring him out
to the rope" lynch him"
In the crowd surrounding the lookup
were many railroad men, frantic over
MoOre's death. About 10 o'clock few OF
the ringleaders succeeded in getting on
the inside and opened fire with revolvers
at the negroes through the cell doors. For
several minutes this fusillade continued.
The officers shot into the air to brighten
. the people. Suddenly down the street
came a crowd of men bearing a tele-
phone pole, which the crowd speedily took
| and, using 1t as a batteriug ram, began
to knock down the walls of the building

FULL TEXT OF THE REPORT

PHILADELPHIA, May 1S.-Contrary
to expectation the Presbyterian general
assembly did not discuss the report Of
the committee ON revision, which was
today presented to- the commissioners
A minority report was also laid before
the convention, but 1t is probable that 1t
will not come up for discussion until
next Thursday. 1t will be at least de-
layed until subjects Of more personal in
terest are out of the way.
Today's session was called 10 order at
$50, and after the usual devotional eX-
ercises reports of special committees
were presented. Appended to the twen-
tieth century committee were a number
of resolutions, which were asked TO be
adopted. They were as follows:
THAT the general assembly calls upon
every church in the denomination still
burdened with Indebtedness and thus
hindered from giving it's full share 10
missions and benevolence, to take steps
under the inspiration of this movement
to remove this Indebtedness within the
next two years.
THAT the general assembly earnestly
request congregations and individual
givers throughout the church to prayer
fully consider the enlarged needs and
larger opportunities of the boards Of the
theological seminaries of the academic,
collegiate and charitable institutions or
the church, and speedily to provide Tor
those greater needs as the Lord may
enable them to do.
'TThat the general assembly most earn
estlv calls upon the synods and presby-
teries to continue to prosecute this work
during the ensuing year by organized
effort and the hearty cooperation with
the general committee.
THAT in view Of longer time necessary
to gather in the full results Of this TWEEN
tieth century movement, the assembly
committee be continued for another year
&c., IS report to the general assembly III
TO DISCUSS THE CREED.
The association fixed next Thursday
at 10 a. m. for the hearing and consid-
Grafton Of the report Of the special com
mittee on the revision Of the confess
sion Of faith. Thursday and Friday have
been set aside for the discussion Of re-
vision, as 1t is considered that the debate
will consume at least two days.
The names Of the commissioners select
ed yesterday by the various districts TO
serve as members of the standing COM
naittees were read and accepted. The
committees on inisterial relations, free
man and aid for colleges Immediately
retired to elect their chairman, and the
remaining committees were instructed
by the assembly to meet at noon for the

w. H. Roberts, the standing order Of
b1 siness was changed and the present lti0n
of board reports arranged so that dis
cussion of the report of the committee
on revision could be made the first order
for next Thursday, and continued until

ed to 4 additional on fresh buying,

goods at higher prices and that there
are signs of spinners becoming un-
easy and the proba bility is they will
be free buyers soon. Manchester ca
bles say the low estimate by the bu-
reau restricted operations on the cloth

will not exceed 100000 bales, where
as the bears firmly believe that it will
amount to 10,5O0.000. The demand from
China was small and the Indian de-
mand was Irregular Sentiment con-

The Market Closes Steady at a Rise
of to 10 Points.
New York, Dec. 9.-The cotton mar
.ket opened steady at an advance of
14q22 points and during the first hour
was remarkably strong on enormous
demand from shorts, who were stam-
peded by a bulge of 500 points in Liv-
erpool. Bull confidence was intensified
by rumors of an advance of A@4c in
Southern spot markets. On the first
wave of buying January jumped to
S.25c and May to $3.50, these figures
being about the best of the session.
Heavy rains over most of the belt with
snow in Memphis, coupled with a fore
cast for very much colder temperatures
in the South tonight. added to the
bullish feeling here Wall street and
Western grain interests sold out great
blocks of January and March on the
uplift. Towards midday the market
went off few points under room sell
ing and broke sharply soon after mid
day under large estimates for to-mor-
rows New Orleans and Houston re-
ceipts. January touched 8.13c and May
S17c before fresh general buying turn
ed the scale and rallied the market
points. The room played for a sreac-
ton, but the second advance was so
rapid that very little cotton was pick
ed up to good advantage. 1t was seen
that total port receipts for the day
fell many thousands of bales short of
total port clearances. Fall River news
was very favorable and spinners were
reported bidding freely for supplies
throughout the South Interior re-
ceipts for the day fell 10000 bales short
of those the same day last year. In
the last hour shorts were very nervous
and picked up a good deal of cotton
sold by scalpers for profits. Closed
steady at a net advance of SQ15 points.

wild one, with enormous trading, one
side realizing on an enormous scale,
while the other was buying freely on
the bureau estimate. After the post
ing of the Houston estimate the mar
ket slowly eased and when New Or
leans also came heavy the trading be-
came quieter, some of the sellers turned
buyers, but on the whole there was a
disposition to look for lower prices to-
morrow in Liverpool as a result of the
heavy receipts at the ports and in
terror towns for tomorrow. The total
movement for the week Is also heavy.
Cotton is pointing here for delivery on
December and January, as curiously,
the market is the highest Probabil-
tiles is due to the absence of any sharp
demand from European spinners. This
last advance has eliminated the small

at the Stock Exchange, due largely to
the wide range of fluctuations covered
between the extremes of low and high
PRICES. Speculation was unsettled in
the early dealings, and was unfavora-
bly, influenced by the rise in money
rates to per cent. from Saturdays
closing prices, or the highest OF the
morning. There were numerous de-
clines of ] to 2 per cent, the higher fig
ure being exceeded in the case of New
York Central ST. Paul and Manhat-
tan, among the active issues. Some
liquidation was in evidence, but con-
siderable part of the pressure arose
from short selling In the late after
noon there was rapid and general re-
covery In prices, A late easing off in
money with rumors that January in
terest might be anticipated on govern
ment bonds contributed toward the
late spirited rally. Perhaps the prin-
cipal influence, however. was a-change
in the current of speculation in Anal
gamated Copper. That stock opened at
a loss of 11a at So, but this figure prov

early declines were more than fully re-
covered. Special strength was develop

the demand was light, and painful in
