LOST CAR FOUND 1oAL CAR JUMPED TRACK IN
 DARKNESS. Train Crew After Reconstructing Train Find Trouble in Idsnti-
 flying an Estray Car in the Ditch.

That truth is stranger than fiction was exemplified Sunday morning by one of the most marvellous accidents that ever happened on a railroad. The occurrence was so strange and startling as to seem almost incredible.
 Engineer Conley with Conductor Adams was bringing train 209, the through fast freight. from Atlanta to Montgomery. The train was all connected with air. A mile west of Loachapoka, Conley, who happaned to look back out of his cab win dow-it was then about 8 o'clock in the morning-noticed a stream of sparks fly Ing rom about the center of the train. He stopped and getting out of the cab started back to the rear of the train finding that the cause of the disturbance was that the train had broken in two just couple of Mobile and Ohio coal cars. Backing up and recoupling the train the engineer and conductor walked along. the side of the reconstructed train.
 Hello, what's that?, said Engineer Con icy, pointing to shadowy mass reclining It the bottom of the 4-feet fill. Why 1t looks like a car-and I'm hanged If 1t lint a car" said or rather calculated Conductor Adams, s'but where did it come from and whats doing here?"
 By referring to his wa$ bills and train sheet the conductor cdl scovered that the sar-No. I2,346, one of the two M. and c. goal cars-had jumped the track. broken the heavy bumpers, couplings and air hose and with the train running pretty lively had done a high and lofty tumbiing lct and landed at the foot of the fill with put ever disturbing anything else in the .rain.
 The coincidence about 1t all is this Engineer Russell was killed on the same engine that Engineer Conley had Sunday norning-the engine was pulling the same train, 209 and the tragedy happened not 3 hundred feet from the place that the ear tumbled down the banw Sunday morning.

 the corner In the money market had been

 NEW ORLEANS. March 3o-As Liverpool advices were discouragng, our market opened 4@6 points lower, subsequently declined 6@6 additional on near months and 3I5 on late, owing to the heavy port receipts today and the large New Orleans estimate for tomorrow, cou- pied to the favorable weather existing gen erally throughout the belt The net loss was 9ui3 points on old crop months and 649 on new. The proprietors of the Lowell mills shut down today, anticipating the strike of their operatives. IL is claimed that 1t will be a long-drawr put affair and that this feeling of discontent may spread to other mill centres in New England. Manchester gables say that during the past week the clotK market was less deplessed though considerable difference re- mains between buyers and sellers and the turn over was quite moderate. There were some inquiris from India and China, but the offers were mostly impraetcable. The Census Bureau on April list wif issue another estimate of the crop based on ginners' returns It is ex- pected to be bullish and will in all proba- blity corroborate their previous estimate of 9.996 900 bales, issued on Jan. 5th. Ourside speculation is entirely lacking. still no dis position is shown to sell the crop months, as the strength of the statistical position is rec ognibed by every one in the trade. The re- ceipts and weather conditions will govern the future course of values

 NEW YORK. March 3o-The market today opened at a decline of 59S points, This was owing to the situation at Liverpool. where bears were at work. and somewhat encoura ged by the strike situation here. There was not much of market early In the day. not much rain fell yesterday, but today there was quite a heavy fall along the coast of Georgia and South Carolina which very heavy at Sa- vannah and extended far inland Mont gomery with further moisture probable today and fair weather generally tomorrow. The clique were again showing their hand. but the position of old crop months was considered strong enough to maintain the market with out any aid from that quarter. There Is & feel ing that receipts going to increase and while this may prove the case 1t will take some time to convince the trade that there is plenty of cotton still to be marketed. The market lacked support the morning ad- vanced and tired holders were selling out There was some feaA of increased receipts. but nothing to indicate very free movement Port receipts today were estimatd at I7o ooO against n 900 last year. Cables closed at 7d9 points decline.
