 NEW YORK. July 24.-Cottun opened S05 points higher small tran9actiuns. Cables fair and weather conditions good. but oil the whole the stuotion such that the in- Cl'nation to support the market was as stron. ever, although the unsettled coalition of the stoek market seems to scare some people Arkansas reports came in today denoting un- satisfactory prospects and similar reports were at hand from Texas. North Louisiana and Mis- ssippi. The Journal of Commerce publishsa fair reports from the Caronas. Some bears did not like the way good Crop reports were coming in because they few in num- beIs and did not claim anything like the nag niflcent situation expected near the close of July. Furthermore the hish tnn.pera lures of late are against the crop, Prices easod off during the morning and the market was quite dull most of the early session. The weakness in Wall Street was against cotton at the mo- ment. Liverpol closed SU points l1wer The Winter months considered Il purchase on all breaks and there a larg" shu't in- terest in them it is generally believed that the upward movement must soon be resumed.

The Reports of Failures in Wall Street, However, Start Liquida- tion and Prices are Forced
 Downward.

NEW YORK. July 24:-The cotton market opened steady at unchanged prices to an ad- vance of 5 points on all positions. except July, which started points lower. At first the list showed some frmness result of covering thAt seemed to be brought about chiefly by the disappointing weather map showing only light showers, where rains had been expected. Tenn peTatures were high in portions of the belt and this also influenced covering. In the first few minutes of trading business was not par ticularly active. but prices were forced up to a level net SOS points higher on months later than August, while the two old crop positions remained at about the opening level. Then there was little realizing, which gained force as the lack of bull support developed and be- fore midday a decline of from to l8 points apparent. This was followed In the early afternoon by sharp advance under support ing orders. believed to originate with the New Orleans pool and which were responsible for another panic of shorts. July was rushed up to l3 65. August advanced to I2 67 and Sep tember reached o.96, the general list at this time showing net gains of from 6 to 35 points. Then came reports of failures in Wall Street that started heavy liquidation The last half hour was exceedingly active and prices were forced downward.
 At the close the market. while steady at practically the lowest point of the day. The last sale of July was at ] B. 20 and that posi- ton closed at | 3. IS bid. The balance of the list was net 3ml5 points lower. Sales estimated at 200. 900 bales.

GET TOGETHER.
Glass Workers vote to Consolidate
Neither old President can Preside
over new Organization.

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 29-Presi-
dent John Phillips, Jr., OF the Win
dow Glass Workers Association of
America, has announced that the ref
erendumt amalgamation of the organi-
zation with that Of the old Local As
sembly No. 300, of which Simon
Burns is President, has been counted
and was overwhelmingly in favor OF
the amalgamation. This ends the
fight which has rent tie glass workers
union for several years.
The formal resolution, adopted sat
urday at meeting in Cleveland, pro-
vide for an Executive Board of the as
sociations acting as a temporary COM
mission TO serve until convention is
called to elect permanent officers and
arrange all the details resulting from
the combination of the opposing
forces. This commission will hold
the meeting soon, probably at Buffalo,
to name temporary officers, adjust a
scale and to attend to other business
which necessarily comes up for consid-
Grafton.
Under the agreement reached, when
a permanent organization is affected,
neither of the two presidents OF the
old organizations will be eligible to
the presidency OF the new body.

LINE TO CHANCERY HILL

VIII be Built-tir. Sturgiss' Close
Estimate - $1,000 Subscribed for
Stock.
1t has been practically decided that
the street car line will be built across
the High street bridge to Chancery
Hill, and through the Wiley home
stead to the cemetery.
The suryeylhas been finished and the
distance traversed is 1922 feet. Mr..
Sturgis walked over the proposed route
a day or two ago and estimated the
distance at 2640 feet, or one half a
mile. He missed it only Is feet, and
that's guessin' some,
The material is on hand to build a
line that long, and unless some now
unforeseen obstacle arises it will be
finished this fall.
A little more than 1000 has been
subscribed for the bridge company's
stock. A few thousand dollars re-
main to be raised yet, and is thought
there will be no trouble in getting
this. The iron for the bridge will be
strengthened before it leaves the
mills.

He was buried under tons of wreckage
and the body was not recovered for

escaped being crushed to death by the
wreckage which was hurled after them.
Both Morgan and Meats were horri-

MONEY RECLAIMED.
Strange Tale in Which Morgan
town People Figure.

Young man Loved Another Mans Wife
He Borrowed Money 10 Enable her
to get Divorce and Then Refused
TO Repay the Lender-A Justice Set.
tied the Matter.
A rather weird tale is related by a
Morgantown man who recently had a
young man living In Pittsburg arrest
ed while on visit here. The young
man owed the Morgantown man some
money. He did not pay and when he
came to town he was arrested. A
friend came to the rescue and the
young man was released.
The story of the case is very in-
teresting one, According TO the Nor
gantown man it grew out Of the inten-
tion Of the Pittsburger to get divorce
for woman who wanted to be free
from her husband to marry him.
While the couple lived in Morgan
town the young fellow paid devoted
attention to the woman IN the case
who liked him better than she liked
her husband. He was any easy going
fellow and did not protest at these
attentions.
Later the couple moved to PittSburg
where the young Lothario was en-
ployed at a good salary. The illicit
relations were continued. Soon it was
determined to get divorce and then
the sweethearUs could be married.
But they did not have the money
Another Morgantown man who knew
the man and woman interested in the
plot had,the cash which he lent to his
young friend. The divorce was Sc
cured but the marriage did not take
place.
Recently be saw the young man
who had fallen down on his contract
to pay back the money loaned and was
informed that it would not be paid.
The first time the debtor came here
the arrest followed and the money
regained. This is the story the Nor
gantown man tells. Names are not
used for obvious reasons.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC NOTES.
Choral Society Dong WeIl-Interest
in Faculty Concert-Large Enroll.

The Glee Club will tour the State,
the first and second weeks in April,
1904 and hope to sgiye their closing
concert in the city OF Pittsburg.
Dean Wrightson is now able to
state that the enrolment OF the
School of Music, this term, is 20 per
cent larger than it ever was before.
The many friends of Miss Anna
Skeels will be glad to hear that she is
sufficiently recovered from the attack
of typhoid fever TO return to the State
| University and resume her study in
the vocal department in the winter
term. Miss Skeels resides in Huntley,
H., and her return after her trying
experience of last year is a high COM
pliment to the School Of Music,
The Choral Society is making won
derful strides with the Oratorio OF st.
Paul. The Society now Numbers one
hundred voices and is showing an ex-
ceptional interest ia the work this
year.
Considerable interest is being taken
In the first faculty concert which will
take place on Tuesday evening, No
vember 18th. There have been several
mistakes made regarding the date of
this concert, Tuesday November 18th
is the evening.
Mr.. William Sherwood, who will
make his first appearance that eve
ming, Is considered to be the greatest
American pianist living and is a man
who commands large sum for an
evenings program. Morgantown is
again afforded an opportunity of hear
ing such an artist through the friend
ship that exists between Mr.. Sherwood
and the Dean of the School of Music.
In 1900 Mr.. Sherwood offered Dean
Wrightson half interest in the Sher-
wood School of Music, in Chicago,
and wanted him tor assume entire
charge of the vocal department of
that school. but Mr.. Wrightson had
already closed other arrangements
with M. Max Heinrich. The fact
that Mr.. Anton Kaspar of Washing.
ton, d. G. will appear on the program
on Tuesday evening November II,
should insure large and packed
house.
