Death From Recurrent Apoplexy.

From tho New York Herald.
The sudden death of General Samuel
Thomas from apopiexy was what might
have been expected considering the symp-
toms from which he suffered since August,
1901. when he was first stricken with the
malady. Although he rallied from the i'm
mediate effects Of the seizure he never en-
tirely recovered. The brain lesion which
induced the original attack still existed.
and although very slowly progressive was
sure In its final contamination. This Is the
rule under such circumstances. as It ts Inn
possible to rejuvenate degenerated and brit
tie blood vessels or stay the other processes
Of decay which SO Inevitably associate
themselves with declining years.
All this can be resignedly said In spite Of
the best medical care that can be given to
the most hopeful and piucky patient. It 10
not usual, however. for such q compare

FAULT OF THE UNION
COMMISSION.
Several Foremen and Superintendent
Give Evidence Before That
Body Today.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January Is. -
Chairman Gray Of the anthracite coal strike
commission, who has been absent from the
hearings of the commission for about a
week on account Of illness, was present at
todays sessions.
Before calling witnesses, counsel for the
Erie company introduced as evidence GER
tain extracts from reports Of state mine in
spectors tending to show that most mine
accidents are due to the negligence of the
workmen themselves.
The first witness was SamI J. Jennings.
general foreman Of the Hillside company,
who was on the stand yesterday. His tes-
timony brought out nothing new.
Victor L. Petersen Of Scranton, superin-
tendent of the Hillside Company, and for
merly president of the Forest City Bank.
presented a statement showing the deposits
in that bank. The miners objected to its
submission because 1t did not specifically
show how many of the depositors were mine
workers. The commission sustained the OBJ
lection and the witness promised to present
lection
Mr.. Petersen corroborated the testimony
given yesterday to the effect that the union
miners do not load as many cars now as
they did before the strike OF 1900
The witness then told of the lawiessness
in the vicinity Of Forest City during the
late strike.
Foremen Not .IpfalHble.
Mr.. Petersen. on oross-examination. said
that foremen and other bosses sometimes
make mistakes. and cited instances Of In
subordination by the miners. Some Of these
instances. he said. were ndue to the infiu-
ence OF the union. sThei witness thought
the union ought to- change some Of its
ways 49,.
On the question Of the union restricting
the number OF cars each miner should load,
the witness admitted that he did not think
the total output OF the mines was re-
He did not know why the workmen want
cd to load only six cars day, except that
some of the employees said six cars a day
were enough.
In reply to BIr. Mitchell, Mr.. Petersen said
he did not know whether the men at the
present time are getting out all the coal
they possibly can. He dad know, however.
that since the strike ended the men have
been responsible for some of the lost time.
II. G. Macmillan Testifies.
H. c. Macmillan Of West Pittston. assist
ant superintendent Of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company. testified that the relations
between the company and the men prior to
the strike OF 1900 were always pleasant
He also said that the men do not mine all
the coal they are capable Of doing.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Dec. 5.-There was tone OF
doubt and hesitation in today's stock mar
ket, which quite naturally followed tho
appearance in yesterdays market OF signs
of a elimination of the rise Yesterdays
large volume of dealings and the small net
changes in price pointed both to heavy
realizing and to large short covering
While the realizing is a Strengthening
factor of the market the reduction OF the
short interest deprives it of technical
factor of strength. A renewed advance OF
Brooklyn Transit followed in the general
list selling movement followed which
carried a number of the leaders, such as
Pennsylvania, United States preferred
and Amalgamated a point under last
night. A feverish and irregular recovery
succeeded upon the publication of the
bank statement. The gain CT half a million
dollars in cash reserves was an agreeable
surprise compared with the expectation of
a decrease of several hundred thousand
dollars, and it is supposed to be due to
the making up of former discrepancies
the other way. The increase in the loan
item ef little over million dollars was
rot disturbing. The market closed steady
and not far from last nights level. The
sterling exchange market was weak and
declined further to level which assures
the movement towards New York of any

Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N. c.. Dec 5.-The quiet to-
day was a welcome change after the two
previous days. 1t was not quiet, bu1
simply less excitement than on Thursday
and Friday. This will give some of the
traders chance to catch up before Mon
day. 1t is not genera1y known that many
of us never left the office Thursday night
and the prospect of days rest tomoT-
row is very allurng. The cotton trade
generally is simply exhausted after the
turmoil of the week. We hope things
will quiet down some, its flesh and blood
cannot stand this sort OF thing much lon
ger.
There are all sorts of rumors a1oat
regarding a leak in the figures, but we
do not take much stock in the rumors.
They are circulated every year.
A number of traders bet on less than
10000, 900 bales, and after the reports
coming in all the fall, the estimate is nos
surprising Now take the Yazoo City
Cotton Exchange. Last year they called
the crop 1885, 900 bales, and came with
in %, 900 bales of the final total. This
year they place the crop at l0.000,D60
bales. All this points to a moderate
crop. Something must be behind a mar
ket which has acted the way this has
this season. No new set of men, nor
speculation could do what natural condi-
tions did. The trade Is IN a state OF
Generalization, and it will require some
time to settle down. If receipts fall off
now on the advance it will tend to hold
prices. On a break we would begin TO
buy again.

eral opinion that a slump of 25 or 30
