COTTON MARKET
 HOLDS UP WELL Opened Firm With Prices Un- changed to 5 Points Higher LIVERPOOL ALSO ADVANCED  Rally On Bad Weather News Over the South Atlantic States Caused Brisk
 General Buying and Whole
 Market Again Hardened.
LIVERPOOL ALSO ADVANCED

New York, October 1.-The cotton mar ket opened firm with prices unchanged to points higher and following the call stiffened up s.s0 for January and to s.61 for May on a small scare of shorts and a moderate buying by room friends of the staple. The chief cause for the better feeling was rise of points Tn the Liver pool market after the close.
 The first wave of buying in the local ring subsided, the market eased off sev- eral points, under direction of & profit taking order by scalping longs and com mission houses. Then a rally on bad weather news. present and prospective, over the south Atlantic states, caused brisk general buying and the whole mar ket again hardened. For the balance Of the session the bears devoted energies to the defensive rather than follow form CT aggressive tactics. Receipts were about as expected, but the estimates for Mon days arrivals fell short of generel ideas. Private telegrams from southern spot markets tied active demand from ex- porters and domestic spinners with offer ings smaller and chiefly at higher prices only.

He was FOrgetful.

A well known business man in the
Third ward is noted for his absentmind-
edness. For several years it has caused
him a great deal of annoyance, but on
Tuesday it capped the climax when he
went up to Oil City to make a purchase
and was about to write check in pay
ment for the same. He forgot his name.
Think as hard as he could, he could not
think of his coguomen. He looked to
see if he had any letters addressed to
himself in his pocket. There were none
He was in quandry, Finally he man
aged to remember that he had friend
living on the South Side. He made an
excuse, went over to that part of the
town, found out who he was, returned
and filled out the check and signed it
1t is needless to say that as soon as he
arrived in Franklin he had 1000 bust
ness cards printed and now he always
carries pocket full of them.-Franklin
News.
Butler county, like most counties, has
its absent minded man too. He is a
well-to-do farmer, and on one occasion
rode horseback to the station, two miles
from home. When he had transacted
his business at the station he started
home afoot, and when he reached his
home and set about putting his horse
away he remembered that he left it tied
to hitching post at the station-Dally
Eagle.
And he is quite famous as politician,
too.

A Spree Ends i'm Murder.

Some coal miners of the Miner mine
near billiards had an all day drinking
bout Sunday, which ended in drunken
brawl about four in the afternoon, and
the brawl ended in the murder of Elmer
Christie Joseph Mexican is accused.
From accounts given of the affair it is
understood Christie and miner named
Glad were fighting viciously when
Mexican rushed in between to separate
them, pushing the combatants aside.
Christie then attacked Mexican, slashed
him twice across the breast and arm,
and then walked away. Mexican stood
looking at the blood gushing from his
wounds for a moment and then is said
to have exclaimed, Just look how he
cut me. I've a notion TO kill him for
that"
Some time later Christie was found
lying unconscious. His skull had been
crushed by blow from a rock or club,
and it was apparent that he could not
recover. Monday afternoon he died
Mexican was then arrested by Con-
stable S. G Moore and committed to
jail for trial by Justice Philip billiard
Mexican had made no effort to escape
and is said to have confessed striking
the fatal blow
Coroner Atwell was notified Monday
afternoon and held an inquest. finding
the facts to b. about as above given
Mexican was brought to jail by Con
stable Moore in buggy Tuesday, ar
irving about noon At nearly the same
time Deputy Rsinev EooD arrived at
the Jail with James Mexican, brother
Of Joseph. whom he had arrested in the
woods of Armstrong county near
Vandergrift on 2 charge of stealing
COW and heifer five years ago.
The two brothers met for the first
time in four ears within the walls of
the Bntler Jail James is wanted in
Mercer county also on charge of horse
stealing. Joseph Mexican has hitherto
borne good reputation.
Elmer Christie was a son of ex-Jury
Commissioner Williamson Christie, was
35 years of age and leaves a wife and
five children in poor circumstances.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.

For some days past the Pittsburg
papers have contained accounts of the
mysterious shooting of a man named
Bruce Head, book keeper at the
Wabash tunnel, by DR.. Duncan of
Louisville
Head and Duncan and his wife were
neighbors and old friends and school
mates in Louisville. Head came to
Pittsburg some months ago and lived
at Greentree, south of Pittsburg Mis-
Duncan visited female friend named
Anthony in the East End month or so
ago. Head called upon Mrs Ddncan at
Mrs Anthony's. Mrs. Duncan went
home and somebody (said to be a jealous
young woman) wrote DR.. Duncan a
letter. Dr. Duncan came on to Pitts
burg during the fore part of last week,
went out to see Head. greeted him
cordially, induced him to walk to the
car station with him and on the way
suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot
him. He intended shooting him in the
breast but Head caught the pistol and
the ball entered his mouth, cutting his
tongue. The DIR was arrested and jailed !;
Head WAS first expected to die, but
seems to be recovering Nobody con
nected with the affair will give any
reasons for the shooting. The Gov
ernor of Kentucky wired Duncan his
sympathy and offered aid. Mrs. An
thony is said to pet pug dog. etc. and
it looks as though rhe facts of the case
would not come out till the trial.
On the farm of j. L. Kunkle in West
moreland Co, Nature is slipping a
cog" to repair the ruin she wrought
over three months ago.
On July II heavy hailstorm passed
over the western portion of Westmore-
land county Fields were denuded of
their crops and orchards were stripped
of their fruits. Mr.. Kunkle's orchard
met the same fate as others within the
storm belt
The summer sun shone on the naked
branches and his rays brought forth a
new blossoming. A fortnight later the
orchard was in bloom that exceeded
that of May. Little apples succeeded
the blossoms. To-day they are more
than half the normal size. There are
at least 100 bushels
