which were closely packed with large

ELEoTIoN IN KENTUCKY
THE HOUSE.

Washington, Nov. although the
returns from the doubtful congression-
al districts were slow in arriving, the
indications are that the Republicans
will control the next house Of repre-
sentstives In the present house, with
q membership OF s57, the Republicans
have Al majority. Under the new APP
portionment the Fifty-eighth house
will consist OF 3ss members, ma
jority OF which is 1874.
The thirteen southern states, not
counting West Virginia. but including
Missouri, have 1875 representatives
The Democrats have carried Il6 Of
these districts, and the Republicans
probably, two in Tennessee, one in
Kentucky and two in Missouri, with
two in North Carolina, ono In Virgin.
In and one in Alabama doubtful To
obtain q majority In the next mouse IL
was necessary, therefore, for the Dem
ocrats TO secure rs votes in the north
and west. In this territory they have
at present SO representatives.
The latest returns indicate that this
strength has been held. with the ex-
ception OF one seat each from Idaho,
Montana and Nevada, and as TO these
states the returns at this hour are not
conclusive. Adding 40 10 iis gives
the Democrats t65.
This leaves them 10 short Of ma
jority.
Returns at o'clock add one Demo-
crat In New Jersey, one in Minneso-
to. one in Illinois, one in Alabama

ooratio representatives, q total OF six.

Freight Train Breaks up Coal Cars
Left on the Track Near Depot.
One Man Slightly Hurt Yesterday in
the Work Train Smash-Up
ut Boaz.
NO ONE BADLY INJURED

The Illinois Central has had a run
of bad luck for the past several weeks,
especially during the past three days,
and last night had another wreck, this
time in the city limits near the ILL.
nois Central passenger depot.
An Illinois Central freight train,
No. ia, second section, in charge of
Conductor W. T. Payne and Engineer
Joe Stanfield, ran into three coal cars
of the N, O. and st. L. freight train
No. 81, in charge Of Conductor Val
andingham and Engineer Golden, last
night at IL :55, damsg ing the Illinois
Central engine and wrecking the
three coal cars.
The Illinois Central freight was
coming out of the depot track going
east and was rolling while the con-
duotor registered out. The N. Q. and
st. L. train was late and had Just
pulled by the railroad crossing, where
the Illinois Central and N, O. and st.
L. cross. 1t is alleged that the NJ,
o. and st. L. trainmen cut off part
Of the train and were switching in the
yards, leaving the three cars across the
tracks of the Illinois Central When
the I. o. freight came along the en-
gineer was unable to see the coal cars
on account of a string of freight cars
on siding, and when he did see them
il, was too late to stop. The cars
were struck and derailed and Engin-
eer Stanfield had q foot sprsined in
the smashup He ives relieved by
Engineer Edgar Evetts, WHO took the
train east Fl si5 this morning. It
is Claimed that the 1. O. train crew
had no flsgmsn out at the crossing.
The N, O. and st. L. runs no night
trsins later than $50, ana the 1.
O. crew expected no train at that
place, and hence the absence of a
tiagman.
Later accounts of the Boaz wreck
yesterday morning show that the
cause of the accident was not neglect
Of orders, but Misunderstanding, in
which the crews of neither train are
directly responsible.
The freight train, No. 1866, which
ran into the wrecker, picked up the
wreoker's flagmsn at Bosz. The flag
man said the freight would meet the
work train at the site of the wreck
which occurred Sunday and on which
the crew had been at work, but the
wrecker was coming east, having
completed the work for the morning,
and they met several miles this side
of the wreck. The engineer Of the
freight train thought he would meet
the work train at the wreck, but did
not reckon on the extra having finished
and started east.
En6i Crutchfield had an ankle
slightly sprained and the knee on the
same leg badly bruised in the smash.

several hours by the accident and

The Coffee Market

New York, February 4.-Coffee spot Rio steady; No ' invoice 5%; mild quiet; Cor dova SQ12.
 Futures opened steady with prices 1 to 10 points higher on active coverings and new buying. For the rest of the session quite a firm undertone obtained with sentiment decidedly bullish despite continued large receipts in the crop country and predictions for no relief dur ing the rest of this month from the big movement. The general idea on exchange was that the market had been heavily oversold on the late protracted decline and that weak long interests had been thoroughly eliminated. European mar kets were correspondingly firmer and there was some encouragem ent received in the way of news from Rio. Wall Street the Clique" and commission houses bought In our market. The close was steady 5q10 points net higher. Total sales 4,5oo bags. May, $5.55Q5. 60; July, s. .75@ 5.SO; September, $5.9OG5 .95; October, SC. .OO; December, SC. 6.10Q615.

New York prices picked up points dur ing the forenoon. Interior receipts for half week were running so small as to cause no little comment but the question will the decrease continue or be followed by a fresh avalanche?

 ran & Co.
 New York, February 1.-The market was about as dead as vest sterday. July sold from S.17 to S,20 and most of the selling was done at 8.19 and 8.20. Senti- ment seemed unchanged. few who were against the market having covered their cotton and the majority waiting for an advance. But as is quite frequently the case when every one Is ready, prices fall to move in the direction expected. With very small receipts tomorrow at New Or leans and Houston the average trader looked for a higher market and there was little short selling. This no doubt is the cause of the present stagnation, the absence of a short interest leaving nc short covering on any bull news. The market will have to be advanced by new buying and receipts will have to keep small to bring in the new interest We fail to see where money Is to be made in cotton at the moment, and would rather wait for definite tendency one way or the other before taking a stand on the outlook. The price may advance or may decline, and we do not know just which it will be.

Murphy 6 Co., Cotton Letter.

New York, February 1.-The cotton market lacked animation. There was a slight lower tendency around the opening due more to apathy than attempts to force prices down. Outside surroundings appear to attach little attention with the single exception of the question of trade and this is being referred to repeatedly. The point is that manufacturers are fill- ed to the brim with orders that they are working in many cases to full capa- city and that they have enough orders on hand to run their establishments inde- finitely.
 It is alleged that this applies not only to American but to European mills as we'll as with exception some portions of continental Europe, more especially Ger many. This trade situation is said to account for the firmness of market in the face of heavy crop movement
 So-called experts are engaged in exam ming the stocks, exports, etc., from which they conclude that situation is extreme Iy bullish. Bears on the other hand are looking alone at insight movement to
