A MILD.MANNERED ADvENTURER.
Having Served in Four Wars, He Died In
Peace. Far Away From the Old Kentucky

Having Served in Four Wars. He Died In
Home.
The following unostentatious announce
ment appeared, June s, in the Oswego (N.
" Palladium:
"Died.-In this city, June Z. 1908. Al
fred Moran, ST., aged 63 years"
The deceased, quiet, highly-respected
citizen, had lived in Oswego since the close
of the civil war, and so retiring was his
disposition and modest his manner that
only a few near friends knew that for
many years he had lived a life of adven-
ture.
Until he was II years old, Alfred Mo-
ran lived where the sun shone bright in
the old Kentucky home. suburban to the
city of Louisville. Impelled by love of
adventure, he clandestinely forsOok n pa
trician home to become plebian mule
driver at st. Louis. Seeking a new Ell
dorado, he drove a team across the plains
and over the mountains to California,
fighting Indians en- route. Finding the
prospect of gold Elusive. the youthful ad
venturer, then at San Francisco, Joined the
Walker Nicaraguan expedition, and in the
second battle at Rivas was wounded. He
was one of the 132 men who. with Walker.
surrendered to Commodore Paulding, and
were brought to New York, in 1853.
When he landed in New York, young
Moran was penniless, but he met one
friend, man whom he had befriended in
California. This old acquaintance gen
erOusly gave him small amount of money
all he had. Longing to return to the
old Kentucky home, the adventurer went
by ship to New Orleans. thence by boat
to some point on the Mississippi River.
Having no more money, he took walk
er's Line" fate leading him to Jefferson
Barracks. Mo. Destitute and fOotsore, he
was. unlike the prOdigal son. too proud.
or lacked the courage, to return to his
aristocratic home far away in Kentucky.
There being nothing better in sight. he en-
listed in the U. S. Army, joining the 7th
Inf. and soon thereafter was engaged in
Quelling Mormon disturbances and fight
ing Indians.
In the beginning of the civil war, Mo-
rams company was surrendered by its Off
GERS to the COnfederates. Having been
paroled, the men were sent to Oswego as
prisoners of war.
In the meantime. our adventurer's faith

released from his parole. Alfred Moran
enlisted in the 18th n. Y, and wrote a
letter to his homefolks advising them of
the fact. He received letter from his
father, but the contents of the answering
epistle were never made known. From
that time Moran never mentioned the
name of any member of his family in
faraway Kentucky, and when he had mar
ried he even refused to show his fathers
letter to his wife and children. The be-
lief was prevalent that his father had dis
owned him, and his Confederate kindred
refused to recognize him as a member of
the Moran family.
He was severely wounded at Gettys-
burg, and after the war returned to Os-
wego, where he was prominent in Grand
Army circles, having been for three years

Monday, Sept p.
The cotton futures market evidenced
lack of support to-day, closing at the
decline at both the leading trading
renters. With all the reports about
manage to the crop the opinion pre-
walls that the damage has been ex-
sggerated, and that both the Texas
and Delta crops will turn out well.
Sentiment regarding the local spot
market is that it must go off unless
an unexpected large demand develops,
mr. crop news changes materially to
indicate a smaller than the present in
dictated yield. The market is now

no material increase expected before
early October.
In the f. O. b. market the demand
was light and business upon a small
scale. The interior were not offering
freely, and exporters appear to have
largely satisfied their demands for
September shipments. The ruling price
during the late hours for basis good
middling was lie.
Turpentine closed quiet at SIC with
the demand light. After the closing
there was no improvement, and in the
absence of support from exporters the
course of the market was uncertain
Resins closed firm, with the demand

New York, Sept. Fl. The
weather Sunday and to-day was more
favorable for the crop, but some reports
were at hand, indicating that the low
temperatures last week was against the
crop, and on the whole was poor pros
pect for the crop. Gables, when we
opened, were not up to the mark. Eu-
ropean adVices go to show that con-
sumers abroad are getting nervous.
There is plenty of talk about a big
rush of cotton next month just as there
Was last month. Talk of a big
rush this month, and still the cotton
