THE WANDERING WoODSIDE.

DereIict Schooner Many Times Re-
ported-FOr Five Months She Has
Pursued II Vagrant Course.
Baltimore, Aug. 1.-The wanderings
of the undertaken derehct schooner
B. r. Woodside, which has been drift
ing about the Atlantic, below Cape
Hatteras, danger to navigation, for
five months, are plotted on the July
issue of the North Atlantic pilot chart,
made public to-day by the local hydro
graphic office. This craft was aban-
doned March l and bids fair to become
one of the oceans famous derelicts.
Since that time she has been sighted
by vessels not less than bhirty- six
times. She was abandoned off
Charleston and drifted out toward
Mermuda. Then she drifted in toward
the coast again, next she made a loop
out to sea again and back to the vi
entity of the point from which she
started. Next she made a 2O0-mile
drift southwark. The craft was seen
six times off the Florida coast during
July. The derelict is now bound
north again. She is kept adrift by her

ACCIDENTS TO CHILDREN.
One BOY Swallows Lead Seal and
Another Gets Needle in His Flesh
at ynIdOstn.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 1.--Quite a pc
culiar accident happened to a little
9year-old son of Mrs. Williams, who
lives on Wisenbaker street this week.
The child had a lead car seal in his
mouth, when it slipped down his throat
before he knew 1t and lodged there.
The boy was unable to cough it up
or swallow and he remained in that
condition, unable to eat anything I'M
til last night, when he was carried
to a physician. 1t seems that the boy
swallowed some I've when he was a
child and that SO strictured the tube
of his throat that the muscles have
refused to act in the case of the lead
seal. The doctor managed to push the
piece of lead on down Into the child $
stomach and the result remains to be
seen.
Another peculiar accident happened
three weeks ago to the 6-year-old son
of Mr., w. w. Stapler. The little fell
low fixed a needle in the seat of his
goat cart to catch his older broth
er, but it happened that the older
brother did not go about the cart. The
little boy forgot about the needle and
was the first to sit down on it. The
sharp instrument buried itself in his
flesh and remained there until yester-
day, when it began to protrude from
the front part of his thigh. A physi-
clan was called in and in a little
while the needle was taken out, after
having been buried in the flesh for
three weeks.

QUIET IN TRADE CIRCLES.

Unfayorable Weather Largely Re-
Says Bradstreet.
New York, Aug. 1.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade is quiet, while attention Is
concentrated on crop and industrial
Developments Though weather condi-
tions of late have been more favorable,
effects of earlier backward weather
have not been effaced or repaired. AS
for the fall and winter outlook, how
ever, the best is predicted. The iron
and steel situation is still largely a
strong one, but isolated examples of
weakness are in sight. The railway
situation is one of the best in years,
and the outlook as to tonnage is
iattering one, marred only by the
prospects of car shortages later on re-
ducing or curtailing industrial opera
tons. Fiscal year earnings returns
are exceptionally good and it is prob
able that taken as whole the rail-
way earnings for the half-year will
exceed 1901 despite reduced anthracite
coal carriers earnings
Cotton has weakened quite SleaQlly
on reports of good growing crop con-
ditions, though rain and flood dam
age reports from Texas helped to
steady prices on some days. Dry
gcods trade reports are quiet Some
Improvement is noted at Eastern mar
kets, but the fall jobbing trade proves
to be later than usual in arriving.
Some weakness in sheetings and other
cottons is noted in wholesale circles.
New business in pig iron for 1908 Is
still of good volume, but not SO ac-
tive as earlier. Current deliveries are
still delayed or insufficient, though
helped out by freer importations of
foreign iron. The production of the
fiscal year ending June 80. was in ex-
cess of 100000 tons. the output for
the first half of 1902 exceeding all
records. If the reduction in stocks
and the increased imports are consid-
cred, a consumption of 100000 tons in
excess of this is shown to have oc-
Cured, and the estimated out-turn Of
$4,000, 900 tons for the calendar year is
seen to be practically needed.
Business failures number 1853, as
against 160 last year.

and it is the intention of the stock
holders to be ready for the fall bust
ness. There is a large cotton ware
house here, and now with a bank to

cotton the next season.
Mr.. ]. L. Hathaway's two-story brick
