POLICE ARE CERTAIN
MEN WERE THE SAME.

Description of Jacksonville Safe
Blower Received Here.
That the safe blowers who operated
in Jacksonville early Sunday morning
were the same men who cracked the
safe of Foye & Eckstein in this city
appears to be a certainty and the police
are of this opinion.
The Savannah. officers base their
opinion on a description that has been
sent out from Jacksonville. 1t fits the
description of one of the men who
purchased the case of dynamite in
Savannah and the officers are conf
dent that he is the same person.
Saturday afternoon a well-dressed
young man, of bright appearance, went
to the Windle Hotel in Jacksonville
and wanted to buy a fuse. The fuse
was sold to him. The young man had
a smooth face, appeared to be about
rs years of age, sandy hair, about
feet 7 inches in hight, well built and
weighed about 140 or $50 pounds. He
had on a black suit of clothes and wore
a black cap with a turned down visor.
ABOUT O'CLOCK IN the morning FO-
liceman George S. Johnson, while walk
ing his beat, saw two hunters and
walked down the street with them. He
left them, and in a few minutes saw
two men running down toward the
river, but naturally supposed they were
the hunters, as they stated they were
going in a launch.
The Jacksonville store was entered
through a skylight. but the robbers
worked exactly as they did in this city.
They gathered together a large num-
Der of comforts and blankets and after
saturating them with water piled them
around the safe. AS in the case of
the Foye & Eckstein robbery the dyna-
mite was put in at the combination and
one of the doors was blown complete
~ off. The fact that a drug store,
Just across the street, was open at the
time, and that two private watchmen
were on duty in the immediate neigh
borhood, is pointed. to as evidence Of
the fact that a safe can be blown open
by experts without arousing persons
in an adjoining building.

EXPECTED REACTION In THE
COTTON MARKET CAME YESTERDAY
Drop in Price Was Expected and Few Local Bulls
Suffered

The expected slump. or reaction, in
the cotton market came yesterday
when New York closed off from 20 to
% points and New Orleans was nearly
40 points off. The local market closed
hc lower.
The reaction was so generally ex-
pected that it is hardly probable that
even the most ardent bulls were hit
by the drop. 1t was expected some
days ago, and general surprise was
expressed when it did not come at Sat-
urday's opening.
The slight interest in the falling off
in the market is largely due to the
fact that nearly all of the cotton in
the South is now out of the hands of
the farmers. Sales in the interior were
never so heavy at this season as were

His promotion will give the liveliest
satisfaction along the whole system.
The change in the management of

charge of the operation of the road and
Vice President Winburn, In charge of
the traffic department, will operate
their departments under the present

reported when the IL cent mark was
passed. Farmers have read the re-
ports that mills would be forced to
close down in view of the prices that
were being charged for cotton, espe-
cially where they had sold their prod
ucts on basis of 8 and 10 cent cot
ton. ..
The only hope that the bulls have
now that the price will be sustained
up around IL cents is the fact that a
large number of irresponsible dealers
who cannot fill their contracts with the
mills have been forced under, and
the mills will now have to get out into
the market themselves and hustle for
cotton.
1t is not expected among local fac
tors that the price will go much lower
for the present, though there may be
a gradual decline until after the holi-
days.
