WILD DAY
May Cotton CrumbIeS Under
Heavy Selling.
Evidence That New York Clique is Closing lis
Deal---Wotst Ct UpheayaI Probably
fBx the Associated Press

New York, May 15.--The cotton market
continued excited today. making the fifth
day that it has kept the cotton trade in
furore with prices iuctuating 81 to 81
per bale on the largest volume OF busi
ness on options transacted in many years
Since this excitement began last Saturday
upwards of 100000 bales of cotton op-
tions have changed hands in this market
and prices have gone up about 100 points
or equivalent to S. per bale with no mate
rial reaction Of any Importance. Today,
however. there was evidence that the
local clique is closing its deal; and for
the first time the market showed indica-
tions that the worst of the present ex-
eitement and unheaval in prices is over,
for the present at least.
At the opening broker offered to sell
1000 May at 11.40 with no takers and
then offered July in thousand bale lots
from 1927, last nights closing price, down
to 1924 Despite the influence on an cx-
ceptionally, strong market at Liverpool
with further rise in spot cotton there
equivalent to so cents per bale on the
BASIS OF 1892 cents per pound in our
market and the pit being again flooded
with supporting orders from the New Or
leans clique, prices steadily crumbled away
under continued selling of the May option
and forced down its price forty points
amid. great excitement. to II cents per
pound while July sold off about "a points
and August II. and the rest of the ist
about 10 points. July sold down from
1897 to 1913 and August from 1910 to
1853
1t was feared that the bottom of tke
market might drop out but Louisville
houses were large buyers, shorts covered
freely, and there was a continuance Of
aggressive support from the New Orleans
crowd. Later the market rallied 20 points
on May and Is to ten points on the rest
of the list, many being quoted at iii,
July at 1886 and August at 1895.

Especial to News and Observer
Asheville. N. c., May 15.-Waynesville
was last night visited by a fire that for
fatal results and mysterious origin has
few parallels in this part of the State.
Three persons, one of whom was tele-
graph operator. F. w. Payne, lost their
lives. telephone message this afternoon
from the little mountain town west of
Asheville states that thc place is shocked
by the tragedy and that crowds of town
people were gathered about the scene.
1t was very near the hour Of midnight
when flames were seen issuing from the
handsome ten-room frame dwelling loca-
ted on the hill near the passenger sta
tion. The building is the property of
Attorney General Robert D. Gilmer, but
it was occupied by c. ]. Galbeath and
his family, who conducted the place as
boarding house.
Some one happened to be passing the
house at the time and recognizing that the
lives of the occupants were endangered
gave the alarm. BY that time the fire
had gained great headway so it was with
difficulty that members of the Galbeath
family made their way through the
cloud Of suffocating smoke to the open
air.
When Galbeath had gotten his own fam
lily safe from the burning building he at
tempted to rescue the other inmates but
quickly recognized that the imprisoned
people were beyond the aid of human
aid. Five of those in the building man
aged to get out, but F. w. Payne, the
telegraph operator, and a negro woman
and her daughter were lost.
In short while after the fire started
large crowd gathered at the scene and
with buckets and hand hose they fought
to save the lives of the three people,
but this large force of men were as help
less as Galbeath had been a few minutes
before,s for it seemed that the doomed
man and the servants had locked their
doors and being overcome by tne smoke
were powerless to help themselves by
coming to the windows opening from their
rooms.
1t was several hours before the bodies
were found. The servants were burned
to a crisp while the body Of the opera
tor was almost consumed.
Payne was a young man who was for
some time employed by the Postal Tele-
graph Company in Richmond Later he
went to Columbia, S. c., where he re-
NAMED until about two months ago when
he moved to Waynesyille
A private telegram received here this
afternoon from Waynesville stated that
some suspect foul play in connection with
the tragedy. 1t cannot be understood
how three people could have failed to es-
cape from the burning building at that
time of night when they had only re
tired a short time before the flames were
discovered. 1t may have been, this prl-
vate message stated that the three per-
sens we're killed and the house then set
on fire. This theory is not, however, gen.
orally accepted No cause for the fire
has been assigned.
