Little Boy Drowned

ALEXANDRIA. Va. July 7.-Bruce.
the seven ear-old son of Richard
Grover. fell overheard and was drowned
from the wharf at the foot OF Franklin
Street at about 1880 O'Clock last evening.
1t seems that the little lad. whose father
is the superintendent of the Marine
Railway Shipbuilding and Coal Com
pany. which has its wharf at the foot of
Franklin Street. had been playing about
evening, when he accidentally tIipped
and fell into the river.
A number of persons. sitting around
on the wharf. saw the child fall over
board and Immediately went to his as
sistance. Capt. William Finney jumped
into the water in search of him. Their
efforts were without avail, however, and
the father OF the little child was sum
moned and told of the accident. After
a short time. by the use Of graphing
irons. the body was recovered by Syi-
vester Dean. but life was extinct. Why
the child should have Immediately sank
upon striking the water and not return
ed TO the surface is a mystery. as there
were no bruises upon the body to indi-
cate that he had struck a log or hidden
pile in his fall to render him uncon-
scious. The mother of the little lad is
i'll at her home and this adds TO the
sorrow OF the event.

BIG PROPERTY DEAL
ON CONNECTICUT AVENUE
Large Tract to Be Subdivided and Put
on Market.

1t Is understood from one of the prin-
cipals in the deal that the final steps
in transfer of Connecticut Avenue
property to the amount OF over $500 600
will be taken today. Arranzsmenrs
for the opening Of a new subdivision on
Connecticut Avenue extended have been
in progress for some time. and IL is
understood that the final move to-
day will practically close the deal and
open TO the residents OF Washington Cne
OF its largest and most attractive sub
divisions.
Immediately after the deal is closed
the work on the subdividing Of the
property into lots will begin and also the
placing Of the property upon the mar
ket. The. property fronts about LOO
feet or more on Connecticut Avenue and
will have a generous depth. 1t is ru-
mored. and there is good authority for
the same. that purchasers in that section
OF the city will be subjected to certain
requirements In regard to the cost and
kind Of house to be constructed
When former large deal in that sec
ton of the city was put through build
ers were required to construct a house
costing no less than 5000. The new
lots will be sold at price ranging from
40 cents to rs cents foot, and should
the additional restrictions with regard
to the price of houses be placed upon
prospective builders it can be seen that
property in the new section will be of
high order.
The deal has not been definitely closed.
but II is authoritatively announced that
practically nothing stands in the way Of
its final completion today.

BULLS IN BAD SHAPE
IN COTTON MARKET
Another Sharp Break in July and
August Options.

NEW YORK, July THE excitement
which prevailed on the cotton exchange
yesterday when prices went down nearly
100 points was repeated today. From
sources generally credited to Wall
Street. heavy pressure was again applied
to near months, under which further
severe losses occurred. To make mat
tiers worse for the bulls. fine weather
continued all through the belt. and ca
bles from Liverool came a shade better
than expected on near months. but poor
on late months.
In the pit large blocks of August were
thrown on the market by commission
houses and others, finding buyers only
at big concessions. At 1920 o'clock,
half an hour after the opening OF the
exchange. July. which closed yesterday
at LIE. sold at 115O; August declined
IS points. September II points. October
10 points, November Q points. December
10 points. and January II points.
Cotton on the New Orleans exchange
open steadier than expected, with no
trading in near months and late months
evidently supported by the pool.
At noon the market continued var
liable, with some recovery on covering
through fear that the weekly crop re-
port might not be as bearish as had
been assumed. There was a partial
rally from the extreme forenoon de-
cline OF twenty-one to forty-eight
points.
