New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans. May 11-There was only a very moderate amount of trading in the market for spot cotton today. Factors were offering freely and the lower grades were both plentiful and cheap. but buy CTS showed an inclination to hold off for materially lower figures and only closed for small lists upon the basis of concessions. Sales 220O bales, including 600 to arrive. Quotations unchanged. The market for contracts was fairly active today interest extending pretty we'll through the entire tier of months. The situation was rather more than ordin- arily interesting, but to the bear ele- ment the developments were fraught with unexpected discomfort. The day opened full of promise to the longs, Liverpool moved up 3-32d on spots and 6-64d to 7-64d on deliveries. and this side responded with opening gains of 1 toN 4 points. But immediately after the opening call, complete change occurred. Favorable weather reports throughout the cotton belt and a rush of bulls to cover drove prices down until the close when May was quoted at 7.53@7.54; June 7.4407 46; July [ 4067. 41, and the balance of the list 8 to Il points lower than at yesterdays closing.

to be Made.

Philadelphia, August CIT developed
today that the result of the explosion
OF the boiler on the steamer City Of
Trenton while on her way up the Del
aware river from this city TO Trenton,
N. j., yesterday, was more appalling
than was at first supposed. Nine persons
are known positively to be dea6, at
least nineteen are missing, mos of
whom are believed to have been on the
steamer; and two of the injured still
in the hospital will probably de.
In addition to the seven identified
bodies, there are two charred bodies,
believed to be those of females, in the
Morgue. They are beyond recognition
n will De buried in potter's field.
OF the thirty-three persons taken to
the hospital: Mrs. Eona van Schoick,
Hightown. N. J.. and Miss Fannie
Keen, Philadelphia. will die.
Although the searCners, consisting
CT a corps of city police, have been drag
ging the river ever since yesterday af-
ternoon, they ave been unable to find
any more bodies. That there are more
victims in the river is the firm belief
OF the authorities. and their failure
to find additional dead is supposed to
be the strong current in the river at
the point where the explosion occurred.
The water was pumped out OF the null
of the burned steamer. after which a
careful search was made for additional
victims OF the explosion but none We're
found An attempt was made at high
tide this afternoon to float the wrecked
vessel, but it was unsuccessful and an
other effort will be made at the next
high tide, late tonight.
As to the exact cause of the explo-
sion, nothing is yet known. Dut a rigid
investigation is to be conducted at
once. Fire Marshal Lattimer, Coroner
Dugan, the police department and the
United States boiler inspectors for this
district will each carry on an inLepen-
dent investigation. But little can be
known until the survivors hay. been
examined and a careful inspection of
the wrecked steamer shall have been
made.
Many of the passengers who escaped
injury maintain that the City CT Tren-
ton, which was late when she leIt her
wharf in this city. was racing at her
topmost speed, and that if this had not
been the case, the accident would not
have happened. This is partly borne
out by a statement said to nave been
made by Assistant Engineer John i.
Chew. Chew told his wife that he eX-
pected to be killed by an explosion on
the steamer as the company made the
engineer keep up too high a pressure
of steam.

three-fourthS of their capacity. The
so-called strike ordered by the textile
union against the above mentioned
mills could operate against no n in
the mills, for all of the union men who
had declined to conform to the rules
of the mills were discharged on Mon
day last. The mills are not seeking
their return and, on the contrary, have
given notice to the leading agitators
among the union men to vacate the
buildings occupied by them.
The places made vacant either by
the action of the mill authorities or by
those who nay have voluntarily left
h mills are being rapidly filled by
others. The mill authorities have no
compromise to make with the repre-
sentatives of the textile union and are
determined to take back none who are
in sympathy with them. The vacant
places are being rapidly filled by other
operatives and the mills have not been
interferred with to any serious extent
by reason of the action of the so-called
textile union"

Still Hunting for the Man Who Killed
a Lady Near Columbus, Mo.

Kansas City. Mo-, August 29.-"Bos-
sic" Francis, the murderer of Miss Mary
Henderson. at Columbus. Mo-, on Tues
day evening, has thus far eluded bis
pursuers, and tonight the large posse
that a been searching for him partial
ly disbanded, discouraged ove the fail
ure of their efforts, after having been,
as they supposed, at the poin. Of cap
turing the negro.
A pack of bloodhounds was obtained
today from Manhattan. Kans., and
taken to the scene Of the murder.
They found the trail of Francis readily
and followed it straight to the coal
mine at Blackwater, owned by j negro
whose wife is an aunt of Francis. The
posse of 200 men felt sure thai Francis
was hidden in the mine shaft, but as
he was known to nave two pistols, none
of the men ventured to go down. Fin
ally A. W. Rice. owner Of the blood
hounds. entered the mine, taking the
dogs with him. but failed to find
Francis.
Late this afternoon the men decided
to dispense for the night, leaving a few
of their number on guard at important
points. The search will be continued
tomorrow.
Bessie Francis is known to all the
negroes in the county and is very popu-
lar among them. No one that
he has gone far from Columbus, and it
is thought that no negro in the neigh
borhood would refuse him food and
shelter. All the negroes AVE been dis
armed by the volunteers and their
houses searched.
There seems to be no doubt that
Francis first fled to his uncle's house
at Blackwater, and then took refuge
in the woods. The three negroes taken
to Warrensburg, suspected of having
aided Francis in his flight. are in no
danger, the town being entirely quiet.
