MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
Body Of Nell Cropsey Found
In the River.
HAD BEEN MISSING FIVE WEEKS.
The North Carolina Girl For whom
Search Had Been M::A I'm
ceaSingly Since Nov. 20
Was Drowned.

ELIZABETH CITY. N. G., Dec. 2S.-
The body Of Nell Cropsey, who myste.
riously disappeared from her home OIL
the night of Nov. 20, has been found in
! the river opposite the CrOpsey home by
two fishermen. The news of the finding
Of the body few over the town like
wildtire, and within short while over
1000 persons had assembled on the
river bank waiting for the body to be
brought ashore. The coroner imme-
diately took charge of the body, a jury
was selected. and two physicians were
/ called in to make an examination.
The verdict of the jury was as fol.
lows:
I'VE, the coroner's jury, having been
duly summoned and sworn by DR.. l.
Fearing to inquire into what caused
the death of Ella NJ. Oropsey. do here.
by report that from the investigation
made by three physicians of Elizabeth
City and from their opinions and also
from our personal observation said
Ella NJ. Cropsey came to her death by
being stricken blow on the left tenn.
pie and by being drowned In the Pas
quOtank river.
I'VE have not yet investigated nor
heard any testimony as to who inflicted
the blow and did the drowning. We are
informed that one James Wilcox Is
charged with the same and Is now In
custody. We recommend that investi-
cation as-tO his or any one else's prob
able guilt be had by one or more mag
istrates In Elizabeth City township and
that said Wilcox be held to await said
investigation
James Wilcox, Jr., son Of Sheriff
Wilcox, was the last person seen with
the girl. He called OH her the night
of her disappearance and on leaving
the house asked her to accompany him
to the door. She went with him and
was not seen again. Wilcox says they
Quarreled at the door, and he left the
girl standing on the porch.
Anticipating that trouble may be
brewing for young Wilcox, the naval
reserves have been ordered out to
maintain order and peace and to see
that no violence IL offered Wilcox. BY
order of the mayor NIL the barrooms In
the city have been closed. Wilcox has
been removed from the mayors office,
where he has been since his arrest, to
the county jail for his own protection,
and strong guard has been placed
around the Jail to see that no violence
is offered him.
The family of the dead girl refuse to
express an opinion as to the cause of
the death of Nell Cropsey. The mother
of the girl is completely prostrated.
She has watched daily, hoping for the
return Of her daughter alive. and the
sad ending of the disappearance has
completely broken her down.
Wilcox apparently maintains the
same indifferent air that has character
ized his actions all the way through
this case.

SYRACUSE, N. y, Dec. 2S.-The
five hundred educators from all over
New York state who have been assem-
bled in four conventions In this city
for the past two days transacted a
large amount of business yesterday,
every session being attended by tue
full quota Of Instructors who haye reg

-Four conventions were going all day.
In the city hall there were three
namely, the convention of the gram
mar school principals. that of the as
sociated academic principals and the
New York state training teachers con-
ference. At the medical college on
Orange street the sixth annual meet
ing Of the Science Teachers nssOcia-
ton of the state was also being held.
Leading questions of the greatest
prominence In educational circles ut
the present time were the topics for
discussion at each convention, and the
papers~that were read and the address,
es that were made were received with
the utmost enthusiasm. A number of
college presidents, including President
Raymond of Union. President Davis of
Alfred university and President Rhees
Of Rochester. besides u large number
Of college professors, were in attend

TRADE CONDITIONS.
DnormOus Holiday Business-LaPg0
Distribution Of Christmas Gifts.

Dnormoua Holiday Business-LaPIo
Distribution Of Christmas Gifts.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Up to the last hour on Christmas eve
the eager buying continued, while
many orders will not be filled before
the years end because of the avalanche
of business offered. Preparations were
made for unusual activity, but in many
cases stocks and facilities proved ut
terly inadequate. Holiday mail was
40 per cent heavier than last years,
which gives some measure Of the ex-
pansion.
Distribution of Christmas gifts among
the employees Of large firms and cor
porations was on the same scale, often
the increase over last year amounting
to 100 per cent, while the profit shar-
Ing at the end Of the year will reach
unprecedented figures. 1t is noticed
that southern trade shows less salts
factory gains over last year than at
other sections, which Is not surprising,
as the principal product of the south
has averaged from So to $40 bale less
than year ago, while the quantity
thus far marketed shows no commen-
surate increase.
Following closely upon the Interrupt
tion by floods and storms last week,
transporting and manufacturing facil-
tiles were further handicapped by nu-
merous accidents. Iron furnaces and
steel mills were tied up, and the move
ment of coke was hampered. This re-
suited in such insufficient supplies Of
fuel that many stacks were banked at
time when full activity was especial.
ly desired The situation as to coke Is
more critical than at any previous
time this season. As high MS $3.50 per
ton was offered for prompt delivery
without securing supplies.
Notwithstanding the high level of
quotations as compared with earlier
years, wheat, exports for the week
from all ports Of the United States, in
cluding flour, amounted to 3,540,972
bushels compared with 2.75GO14 bush
els year ago and 2,4T,01s bushels
tive years ago. Interior receipts were
light.
Failures for the week numbered $50
in the United States against 237 last
year and % in Canada against 18 last
year.
