EASTERN CAPITALISTS.

New-orleans. July 24.-"The States publishes
the following;
A deal has been practically completed here for
the purchase Of the twenty cotton presses or
New-Orleans by wealthy Eastern capitalists
In connection with the deal S1,OO0,OOO has

most important financial transactions that ever
occurred in the South. According II the terms.

estimated value of the property, and 90 per cent

cent are 10 be guaranteed The only hitch in
the deal is in the matter of the presses owned
by the Heine interest, of Paris. The Heines
are willing TO surrender their holdings, but have
notified the syndicate that they desire to sell
outright for cash.
1t is understood that the manager of the deal
In this city has obtained options every press
upon the terms mentioned. The negotiations
have been carried very quietly, and the
names of the capitalists who financing the
enterprise in the East withheld. What the
intenfons OF the syndicate are with respect to
the property have not been learned. but 1t is
suggested that the deal may have some connec
tion with the struggle between the square bale
and the round bale interests in the South.

The case was presented TO President Doty of the
First National Bank, who took it under advise

ears of a young woman who has taken considerable
interest in the extension Of the park system She

ALDERMEN IN PERIL.
SEVERAL OF THE YONKERS BOARD
NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH AT
A RAILROAD CROSSING

Yonkers came within an ace OF mourning the
loss Of several members of its Board Of Alder
and three citizens who were their guests
last night The incident befell the members Of
the lighting committee Of the Common Council.
and their guests who tour made of
certain districts in the Seventh Ward. where
electric lights had been ordered abolished. The
party was composed of Aldermen John J. Loehr
NJ. H. Reagan, John Southwick, c. e. Clark
and Doubly Valentine, Inspector Arthur Will
Jams, Superintendent Chisholm and General
Manager John p Radclif of the electric light
company.
The driver was A. John Vogt, a careful reins-
man. Leaving Manor Hall at p. m. the party
driven directly to the Seventh Ward The
neighborhood of the Putnam Railroad was
reached but not sound heard to indicate
the approach of train. Two men in the party,
Aldermen Valentine and Reagan, were well ac-
quainted with the dangers of the nearby cross
ing, and they approached the tracks they
called out to the driver to be careful for the
approach Of a train. The crossing is one of the
most dangerous in the city. 1t is unguarded,
and approaching from the east, one can only
see about thirty feet of the track to the north
and to the south; the vision is obstructed only
fifteen feet from the crossing. This is caused
by the fact that the crossing is at the apex Of
a curve on the line. and because there are high
banks either side.
AS the carriage approached the tracks the
driver stopped the horses and listened for a
train. Hearing nothing that would Indicate any
danger, he started his horses again and in a
moment they the track. Hardly had
the horses heads crossed the first rail when the
headlight of n rapidly approaching train flashed
in sight. Intense excitement followed. Almost
to a man those in the stage screamed In fright.
Alderman Southwck, being in the rear of the
wagonette, jumped for his life and landed safely
on the ground The remainder of the party
imprisoned in the wagonette and sat If
paralyZed. The driver, seeing the situation, and
fortunately having the whip in his hands,
brought it down with a crack across the horses
backs. causing them 10 jump forward, thereby
saving the lives of all the party. Hardly a
second had elapsed from the time the loco
motives headlight had appeared until the train
flashed by. almost grazing the rear wheels of the
wagonette.
All of the aldermen declare that the crossing
will receive the consideration due it at their next
meeting. and that the railroad company will
