to-day's markets. Following it's course
for the past several days cotton ruled
irregular and considerable nervousness
was shown, resulting in spasmodic liq-

to points that attracted support from
the bulls. In this way prices were kept
in a zigzag movement throughout the
day. The closings We're at the ad-

Turpentine closed steady at sic, with

throughout the turpentine belt gave
exporters confidence, and they were

New York, May l1.-Serious troubles arising out of the recent strikes inaugu- rated in Brooklyn occurred in various sections of that borough today.

In both eases the police were called but the strikers fled before the arrival of the officers.

 At meeting of subway strikers in this city today which was attended by about 6OOO men, it was decided to continue the strike for six months If necessary. The Italian subway excavators maintain their fight is against the Padrone system and assurances will have to he given them by the contractors that they shall be hired through their union representatives in- stead of through Padrones. They also demand that some substantial increase In wages be guaranteed them, and they are unwilling to await the delay of arbitra- ton on the question of wages. The Staten Island carpenters. 400 In number, are again on strike. One of the firms in pay ing the men on Saturday morning told them to quit for the rest of the day and deducted two hours time. The men re- ported to the union and all the union car penters on the island were called out.

QUITS HIS JOB AT FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
Temporary oaicers in Charge Until the
Council Can Meet and Make Per-
manent Selections.

with but a single days notice, Chief
George Isenhart and George Howe, of
the fire department, quit their positions
Saturday evening at O'Clock. There
has been considerable dissatisfaction in
the department some time and the chief
has talked from time to time of rendering
his resignation. AS is well known, the
department was under investigation. but
the committee had not made n report.
But the immediate cause of their action
was said to be the return of Michael
Feeny to the department by the commit
tee. It appears from what can be learn:
ed that the chief did not want him back.
The committee, as soon as it received
notice of the mayor, temporarily provid-
ed for the department. Burr welch, Rob
ert 8Iodispaugh and Edward Clark were
stationed at the department, with Po-
liceman Darius Lawman to stay at tho
department at night as chief. The city
council will hold special meeting one
night the present week. to make permn-
nent appointments for the department.

Takes Down Forty Thousand Words Of
Record in Three Hours Often

A dispatch from Covington, Ind.,s to
the indianapolis News says:
81. Dow Patton, the official stcnog5
rapber of this circuit, who reported the
Drake murder case, and who also re-
ported the celebrated Moses Fowler Chase
case, ut Fowler, holds the worlds rec3
ord for speed in reporting. 8Ir. Patton
does what is seldom seen in court re-
porting. He takes down every word
relating to the case, including the tes-.
titnony of the witnesses, every word.
that is uttered by the attorneys. the
Judge, members of the jury. and. every,
remark, SO that when he makes a tran
script of a trial it is complete his
tory of the case from every point of
view In the Chase case Mr.. Patton
wrote $4,000 words, and in the Drake
case, where Mrs. Drake was charged with
the murder of her husband, he tran
scribed upward of 100000 words, and in
both of these cases there were many oc-.
casion where he was compelled to write
ESQ or more words minute. The case
in which Mr.. Patton made the worlds
record for shorthand speed was the case
of Sweet VS.. Sweet, tried in january,
1900, in the Warren circuit court, in
which case the transcript showed he had
actually reported 10000 words in three
hours time, making an average of 222
words minute for the entire three
hours

COOKING
STOVE

MRS. IDA coFFMAN SERIOUSLY
BURNED ABOUT THE HEAD AT
HER HOME M sHTNNsroN.
Gas Accumulated IN Oven and When She
Opened the Door It Exploded in
Her Face.-Doctors Say She
VIII Recover.

M-s. Ida CofTman, wife of Luther II.
CoTman, of Shinnston, was seriously
burned about the face and head by an
explosion of gas in a cooking stove at
her home Saturday evening.
hIrs. coffman was baking bread in the
oven of the gas cooking stove. She had
taken the pans of bread from the oven
and closed the doors. Gas from one of the
burners had in some way accumulated
in the oven. and when she opened the
doors to place some pies in to bake, the
gas ignited and exploded in her face. She
was painfully and seriously burned about
the face and head, and the inhalation of
the burning gas burned her painfully.
Word from her bedside Monday morn
ing to relatives in this city states that
she is resting easy and the attending
doctors say she will recover, although
the burns she sustained are of very
serious nature.
