Eva l.. Randall, married, f0rty-tw0

been arrested charged with kidnapping
William f. Petrol, the 13-year-old son
of Charles Petrol. The boy is alleged
to have been Kidnapped May IL last,
and rs yet no trace nor tidings have been
seen or heard of him. The Randall
woman maintains her innocence and

stoutly refused, and became incensed to

A CHASTITY ARTICLE OF COMMERCE

Human skullsare a strange article OF
commerce. Yet such is the demand
which has arisen among curiosity dealers
in Europe for the skulls of New Guinea
native ancestors, which have ornamented
the poles of native dwellings in New
Guinea, that the Australian Government
has inhibited the trade, says the London
Express. Large prices were offered the
blacks for the strange relics, and it was
feared that the temptation was becoming
so strong that as the supply Of genuine
ancestors ran low illegal methods ofpro-
curing spurious ones would be adopted.

Wednesday until the mourners could adj

coat Of tar and feathers to the husband

The house was filled with sorrowing
neighbors, when some of them discovered
Zibert in another room hugging and kiss

quickly dragged the couple to the corn

BLOWN FROM HIS ENGINE.-A delay
of half an hour or more was caused on
the Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday
afternoon as a result of an accident to an
engine drawing a passenger train from
Baltimore to Washington. Jacob Fry,
the engineer, was severely scalded about
the face and hands. He is said to be
badly scalded, and recovery is doubtful.
Charles Jones, the fireman, escaped in
jury, although he was blown fifty feet by
the force of the explosion. None of the
passengers was injured, although all
were badly frightened. When the train
reached point about quarter of
mile beyond Benning the fues and

the locomotive came to standstill. Fire
man Jones, who was shoveling coal into

with him. He picked up the shovel and
came back to the engine.

Nothing of interest characterized to-

better tendency in the cotton markets.

showed a disposition to follow the adj

Commenting on conditions, Messrs.
S. Mum, Son & Co. of New York say:
There is an idea among many that
better weather means larger receipts,
and this idea seems to be shared in
Liverpool. PerpleXity over the Janu-
airy situation also rather tends to mill
tate against speculation for a rise at
the moment. At least many are dis
posed to go slow until they can get
more light on the situation. But if
light receipts continue it is hard to
see what is to prevent renewal of
bull speculation. Indeed, it is likely
to become aggressive under such cir
cumstances, and might easily carry
prices much higher.

New Orleans, Dec. 20.-Liverpool adj
vices were not encouraging, but our
market nevertheless only opened 1
point lower and advanced 5 later on the
small Houston estimate and the expec-
tation of continued light receipts, ow-
ing to the existing blockade. The lib
eral New Orleans estimate for Mon
day and clearing weather in Texas oc-
casioned a decline of points from the
top, making the closing practically I'M
changed from yesterdays figures. The
interior town receipts are freer than
for some time back and the probable
ity is that with continuance of fair
weather the movement will increase
some towards the latter part of the
week. There is no indication that the
movement will show any decided in
crease in the amount to be marketed
because the congestion OF cotton in
New Orleans will not be relieved be-
fore a week or ten days, and during
the interim the railroads may only
make light trips. This, however, is
becoming generally known, and there
is consequently less importance being
attached to the small figures.
Traders cannot understand why
there is not more buoyancy shown in
enhancing values, considering the
strong statistical situation. If the
world would believe that the movement
indicated exhaustion then considerable
excitentnt in the market would be in
order, but as the Census Bureau on
Oct. IS reported that 1927 900 bales were
picked and giSNed to that date and
as the amount marketed from Sept
to Dec. 10, inclusive, was only 6,130, 900
it demonstrates that this is a very
slow-moving crop, and then it also
confirms reports that large quantities
are held in the interior, because of all
the cotton picked and ginned since Oct.
Is to date none of it practically has
as yet been marketed. Notwithstand-
ing the various arguments pro and con.
the fact remains that sentiment is
very bullish, and any encouraging fea-
ture will cause further enhancement.
providing receipts do not show signs
of increasing decidedly.
