New orIeana Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 24.-In the market for spot cotton today there was very full line of offerings, comprising pretty much all grades, but with prepon- derating lists of the better qualities. There Is fair demand for benders and extra staples, and some few small lists of the kind have changed hands at full prices. But for average grades there seems to be little demand, and factors are inclined to force sales by conceding a moderately lower level of prices. The sales for the day foot up 2500 bales, in- cluding 100 bales sold on free-on-board terms and HOO bales to arrive. At the close of the market the exchange com mittee on quotations reported prices steady at a decline of 1-16c on all grades. There was but a moderate amount of trading during the day in the market for contracts, and as usual the attention of operators was given chiefly to the months of October, December and January There was some little interest shown in current month deliveries. but otherwise the balance of the season was neglected Liverpool put a damper upon the hopes Of the bulls this morning by opening down. The government weekly crop bull letin was regarded as extremely bullish In character, and in an active market working under normal conditions should have sent values skyward with a rush. But the trade Is extremely skeptical just
 
 to cause an upward turn in prices, the advance was not very great and at no time was the range more than points above the opening Toward the end of the day the market became quite dull and when the gong sounded the board showed net gains of but 1 to points on the several months with the exception of October and November, which stood at even figures with yesterdays closing.

Died in a Nightmare.
Macon Telegraph.

macon lelegrGph.)
Andrew Cheeves. a well-to-do negro
painter, was found dying recently at ,
o'clock in the morning in his bed at his
residence in Woodruff alley.
Coroner Davis was notified soon after
his death and held an inquest over his
body. The only witness was his wife,
who said that her husband came home
the night before about o'clock and
ale supper and read until nearly ten
o'clock, when he went to his room and
retired.
She said she was awakened about 2
o'clock by hearing a struggling in her
husbands room. when she lighted a
lamp and went into the room and
found him dying.
The Coroners jury. after the hearing
of the testimony, returned a verdict
that the negro had come to his death
during the progress Of a nightmare.
1t is an old saying that if person has
a nightmare and dreams that he is fall
ling or drowning and does not wake up
before the dream is over he will in all
probability die. This seems to have
been true in the case Of Cheeves.

KILLED HIMSELF
In Presence Of His Family by Eating a
Poisoned Apple.

New Brunswick, n. J.-When Abra-
ham Suydam, of Franklin Park. decid-
ed to commit suicide he planned a dra-
matte surprise for his relatives and
succeeded in carrying it out in every
detail. After eating a hearty supper
he pared an apple, cored it, busted it
thickly with a white powder from a
packet taken from his vest pocket, and
ate it with every appearance of keen
relish. Then he tilted his chair back
and remarked:
Il guess I'll die soon now. That was
strychnine I ,cut on that apple"
The Mortified family sent messen
ger for a physician and endeavored to
persuade him to take an antidote He
refused to move from his chair and
seemed to enjoy the sensation he had
created and the CONSERVATION his an
nouncement had caused. He would not
explain why he had taken the poison,
but repeated his statement that he
would die soon.
He was alive when Dr. Ten Eick ar
rived, but died soon after. in the con-
vulsions characteristic of strychnia
poisoning A little of the Howder re
manning in the packet proved the poi
son to be strychnine and DR.. Ten Eick
gave death certificate, and no inquest
was deemed necessary. The members
of the family are utterly unable to ac-
count for the act. as the suicide was in
good health and not troubled financi-
ally.

TRAMPlHG BISHOP
Gives a Description Of His Adventures Over
the Country.

Leighton Coleman, the Bishop of
Delaware, was the chief attraction at
the regular Tuesday night entertain
ment at the Squirrel Inn. No 131 Bow
cry, New York. He is known as the
''Tramping Bishop" because he has for
forty years past snent his vacation in
tramping about the country. The aud
ience was composed mainly Of workin 3
men and the absence of the typical
tramp was noticeable.
The Bishop spoke on Forty Years
experiences as a Tramp" He told an
amusing story of his adventures in
various parts of the country. He said
that he had been taken for all kinds of
mentor circus man, peddler, tramp,
dentist, and for almost everything but
a Bishop. He had slept on the hard
floor of shanty and in a haymOw or
anywhere else he could get, and had en-
joyed his rest. 1t was difficult to
make people understand how it was
that he could enjoy spending his va
cations in that manner, but he did ii
as a matter of health. he said, and it
also enabled him to get in closer touch
with the masses of the people in var
icus carts of the country and was OF
value to him in his clerical work.
