Crippled and Many Years an Invalid.

To whom these presents shall come, Greeting.

TO my spine and pelvic bone which resulted IN
the formation Of bumped shoulders ana mp, a
shortening OF the waist and displacement OF IN
ternal organs, and shortening Oi ABOUT Two
inches OF one limb between the knee and hip.
In addition to the outward appearance OF my
body as above described I'm March lsOO was
taken with a severe attack OF La Grippe rom

lungs and heart, and when in May 1900 came
to and began treatment with Dr. J. +; COOK my
condition WAS about as follows;- Could per

anything from the floor, Gould get about the
house only with dithculty, and getting up stairs
was next 20 impossible. Gould use my umDs
only with difficulty and one OF them was muoh
was ed, My nervous system was badly wrecked
Had cough and severe pain on lungs ana heart'
no appetite, could sleep only IN broken spellsl
and In many ways suffered almost constant ana
indescribable agOnies. In short was IA much
dead as alive. Previously to my attack OF La
Grippe was treated over a period OF years by
many physicians 70 no effective purpose. D.,

Notes on the Wreck.

Three accidents have now happened at
almost this same place. The last
one occurred in 1885. At this time a
bent was washed out Of the trestle dur
inQ the high wGter period aud after the
engine and one car got on the bridge,
the train went down without leaving the
rails.
The wreck which took place Saturday

although they have ploughed through
mud several feet deep and this has to
be shpveled out OF the way, making the
progress slow. The engine is being
taken apart as much as possible and the
men have disagreeable place in which
to work on it, The water in the creek
which was only about foot deep at the
time Of the accident, has about doubled
in depth on account Of the heavy rains
The cause Of the switch being open is
as yet as great mystery as at first
The last train through was south
bound freight at $3.50. The engine left
its train on the main line aud took few
cars down to the freight depot on the
switch track. The engine then return
ed on the same track and pulled out on
the main line, and thus would necessari-
ly leave the switch closed Only an
hour had elapsed before the passenger
train came in, at which time the switch
was open, or at least partly 30. What
makes the matter more complicated il
the fact that the paddock whi,h iastent
the switch and which is ordinarily at
tached to the head with a chain, hs'
disappeared aud no trace OF 1t can b'
found. The theory that some tramI
opened the switch with malicious intent
seems hardly practicable, as tramp
do not usually carry such keys a
are required TO open this lock, and thos
whom the company furnishes keys ar
careful Of not displaclng them.
The timbera in the bridge are quit
solid, having been put in about one yea
ago, 80 that the track would not hav
spread from the decayed timbsrs.
Loss to the Company.
The loss TO the Southern Pacific com
pany can be estimated at few thou
sand dollars. The engine can probably
b repaired for two or three thousan'
dollars and the cars are practically no
damaged, the bodies being perfectly In
tact, only the running gear and pla -
forms being torn apart and partially dc
stroyed. The repair TO the track will b
only small outlay.

delivery we're light. Wheat has risen sharply partly in sympathy with corn, but there WIS had news regarding the German crop. and some damage occurred at the west
 Wool is fairly steady, and this Is the best that can be said. Eastern markets are quiet. with light demand from the mills There Is less disposition to secure raw material in advance of needs al- though much faith is expressed regarding the stability of prices. Reports from many correspondents in the chief sheep raising states indicate that a larger clip than last year may be expected and the condi- tion Is satisfactory. General growers arc slow to make contracts at the present level of prices. but the large percentage of old crop carried over and heavy stocks at the east give little encouragement to hope for higher prices. The demand for manufactured goods shows material i'm provement. Cotton responds slowly to in- dications of damage on plantations for the old crop comes into sight freely. and heavy losses in British exports of goods and yarns do not promise vigorous Tor eign demand for raw material. Another decrease Is reported in shipments ot boots and shoes from New England shops. although there Is still a heavier move ment than in the same week last year. Factories are less behind with orders. and buyers are inclined to defer new contracts in the hope of securing concessions. As yet, however, quotations are unchanged. Spring trade has been lost. though in- element weather and local jobbers no longer expect an active seasons busi- ness. The same influence has enabled re- tailers to reduce supplies of rubber foot wear carried over from last fall.
 Leather is barely steady at last weeks decline. and stocks of light grades are accommodating.
 Failures for the week number 215 in the United States against 2o4 last year and 26 in Canada against p last year.

 Business continues very brisk for the season in the face of some drawbacks, tation. Chief of these is the floods in many directions, which have interfered with railroad operations and interrupted the distribution of merchandise, and the weather all over the east has been ad- verse to an increase of retail trade. Bank clearings, however, show that while speculation has been heavy there must have been a well sustained volume of legitimate business, for the gains are Al per cent over 1900 and 1S.9 over 1899 outside of New York and 10S0 per cent. over 1900 and $40 per cent. over 1899 at this city.
 Railroad earnings make similarly en- couraging gains. The future Is full of promise unless there is misfortune with the crops. Much unfavorable comment has appeared regarding the advance in steel rails to BPS Yet the change is only in keeping with recent increases in prices of pig iron and billets. Pig iron is more quiet, with little taken for delivery be- yond July Domestic business in princi- pal lines of manufactured steel is so ac- tive as to discourage foreign buying but machinery and speciality mills are not not crowded by demand to the extent noticed in 1899, but the productive capaci- ty has largely expanded. After a pro longed period of waiting for definite crop news the cereal markets suddenly awoke to unusual activity. Much of the in- creased trading and sharp advance in prices resulted from clever manipulation by a single western speculator, who com pelled the short contingent to cover May corn contracts at the highest prices of the season. While there was an element of strength in the reports of late plant ing slow movement of the old crop held greater influence, as stocks available for

The Cross of Bronze.

The following poem was written by Mrs. J. A. Rountree and recited by her at the Memorial Day exercises yester- day:
 By Mrs. J. A. Rountree. Here, Veterans, we give a cross to you, Not cross that is hard to bear, But a bacge for your bravery, tried and
 true.
 A badge you are proud to wear. The years have been long, and hard and
 drear
 To many that meet here today, And we Daughters are adding a bit of To your loyal hearts. ere you pass Your ranks grow thin as the years go
 down,
 And your battles are almost won, And this cross of bronze will turn to a
 crown
 When the Master shall say well done" The four grand years that you fought so Have been followed by grief and strife, But you aimed so true, each shot would
 tell,
 And you've mastered the battle of life. What if at San Juan our veterans won, Has the grey turned any more blue? And what If they fought for a union gun, Has the heart grown less true? No, comrades. the same old men today Are as loyal in heart and hand As they ever were and their heart
 strings play
 When the band starts Dixie Land" And now we have brought this cross to
 you.
 That is bronzed with our love and
 faith, And we pin it there on your breasts SO
 true,
 As an emblem of honored worth. And we pledge our word that the Daugh-
 ters all,
 Will never let fade your name, And when you have answered the reyeille
 call
 We will still keep alive your fame.

BURNING COTTON.
Flooding of the Steamers Hatches
 Failed to Subdue Flames.

Pensacola. Fla, April 26.-The work of removing the burning cotton from the hold of the Spanish ship Alicia was be- gun this morning the closing and food ing of the matches having failed to sup press the flames.
 As the bales were taken from the hold they were hoisted to a barge moored at the side of the steamer where inspection was made.
 Many bales came to the surface afire and hardly any escaped damage.
 The heat is so intense in the ship that workmen cannot stand 1t for more than ten minutes at time.
 The damage is not yet known.
