BRAKEMAN STRANGELY KILLED.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Bammonton, N. J., June 13.-William Dix, whose home is in Downington, Pa met a horrible death at Winslow Junc- tion this afternoon. Dix was a freight brakeman on the Jersey Central Rail- road. After riding a freight car in on a side track he thoughtlessiy walked on the south "Y." upon which track the en- zine of his train was coming. The engin- eer could not see him on account of a curve in the track. The cow-catcher struck Dix, knocking him down and pushing his body slowly along the track until his foot caught in a frog, holding him fast while the pony trucks of the engine passed over him, cutting his right leg off at the hip joint. At that instant a railroad torpedo which Dix carried in his pocket, exploded and tore a great hole in his back. The explosion was the first intimation the engine crew had oi the disaster.

to their best interests receive little con sideration. Once in a while a bone Is tossed them as a kind of peace offering, but there Is little material benefit. With an organization that will cause them to act in unity they will be a host to be reckoned with. Wage earners have learned the benefits of organization in their daily life. They have seen the force of organized capital in politics, and now they wish to take a hand. We pre- dict that the movement which is just be- ing started will grow and spread until it is a power in the land Any union wish Ing an outline of the plan or application blanks can secure them by fpplylng to B. w.

 The situation in the Electrical Work CTS strike is unchanged. The men are hopeful of winning. The Trades Council has endorsed their demand and the griev- ance committee has waited on the diff ferent firms that have refused to sign up this week.

 Lynch was in Pretoria January 15, 1900, the solicitor-general continued, and wrote to the Transvaal authorities notify ing them of his desire to take up arms.
 He raised the so-called Irish Brigade, joined the invading army in Natal and is- sued an appeal signed Arthur Lynch, Colonel Irish Brigade, inviting Iri5hmen to assist the two Republics"
 The Hon. Charles Russell second son of the late Lord Chief Justice, Baron Russell, of Kilowen, in behalf of the de. fendant, said that Lynch had faced the proceedings like a man. What he had done had been done openly and he desired to facilitate the inquiry as much as pos sible.
 After the police had furnished evidence of the prisoners arrest he was remanded to June 21.

COTTON MARKET.

Theo. H Price says: Reaction in the
cotton market seems to have about spent
its force. 1t has been predicted entirely
upon reports that in the absence of frost.
Development of top crop would add sub
stantially to the yield. Such reports are
always current at this season, and they
necessarily always prove Misleading. My
advices do not lead me to expect much
from the top crop. and my belief in an
exceptionally short crop is fully con-
firmed. Receipts for the week promise to
be substantially under last year, and the
movement of crop is already commencing
to indicate the shortage. Exports up to
last evening since September 1 are 1022,-
032, against 653,S44 for corresponding pc
Rod last year. Never in the history OF
the American cotton trade have exports
reached so large total thus early IN the
season Holders Of cotton have only to
exercise patience in order to secure very
full prices for it,
Brought in sight for week, 452,ol0 bales
Mum says: Weather conditions are
favorable over most of the cotton belt
It has a tendency to increase crop estl-
mates. which has caused a large market
The last few days great amount OF
liquidation and short selling has taken
place. so our market should pick up
few points
New Orleans people are buying Decem-
Der there and selling January here De-
cember in New Orleans is SOS; January
here, $50. They can pring cotton here, as
they have a whole month to deliver it in
should there be corner in January.
The difference is so wide as to make this
trade seem fair risk.

lie cotton market opened steady, with
prices points higher to point lower,
and following the call continued to work
upward, on increasing demand from
shorts and moderate investment buying.
The better feeling was due for the most
part to an unexpected rise in the Liver
pool market, and to reports from Fall
River that demand for yarns and cloths
was active at firm prices.
Whereas. the early weather chart noted
generally fair conditions over the entire
belt, the forecast foreshadowed unset
tied weather over extensive portions of
the crop country. with lower tempera-
lures in Western Texas. The receipts
were free for the day, but the estimates
for the movement of tomorrow fell be-
low the actual receipts of the same day a
year ago. The private Liverpool
cables brought buying orders, and the
South, too, attempted to cover shorts
here. The weekend statistical state
ments, as made up by Superintendent
King, Secretary Hester, and the Liver
pool statistcian. were of bearish i'm
port. but had been quite generally dis
counted. The market continued to ad
vance until 1nid-afternoon, when light
protit-taking by early buyers checked

estimted at 10000 bales. The reports
from southern spot markets were indi-
