Believed That Individual Losses VIII
 Be Small.

Houston. Texas, Match Is.-When the announcement of the sully and Co, sus- pension was made from the Houston Cot ton Exchange today, the brokers were overwhelmed with orders and could not execute them.
 The wires of the commercial companies were deluged with orders from interior towns of Texas as the news spread over tho State very rapidly. Everybodv wanted to sell, consequently the unusual business done by the brokers.
 So far as can be learned the Iosses are comparatively small individually. and no local firms were seriously affected.
 General sentiment in South Texas was buuish and Sully had many admirers because of the fact that former Texan was a member of the firm.

he walked to the speakers table after a brief introduction. He declared that 1t was the sentiment of the Democrats in Alabama that a man should be given a fair hearing and that he should be en- titled to participation In the discussion of party questions,
 There is here" said the speaker the exponent of a sentiment of absolute in- tolerance This sentiment condemns you if you fail to agree with It. A paper ex- pressing such a sentiment is dangerous and ought not to have power and prest- ige in a civilized community"
 The Advertiser. he said, had made mis- statements concerning the speeches which hn and MT. Stallings had made at Tus- caloosa He said that they had merely gone over to Tuscaloosa to hear the joint debates between Hobson and Bankhead Many gentlemen of Tuscaloosa. he said had invited them to speak there and they had laceepted the invitation. Bills announcing the speaking. were sent out late in the afternoon. When the speak ing began. he said, there were between 4OO and 800 people present. The Adver- tiser account. he said, had put the flg- ures at 100 In an editorial the next day the paper had said several hundred.
 Now which will you believer" he asked. "Or will you believe either one of them?"
 The whole crowd. he said. had heard MT Stallngs say that he was for Mo- | Clellan for President. and yet it was Dublished that he was leading the Hearst | forces.
 He said that he had heard The Ad- vcrtiser denounced for .unfalrness from that platform by Bryan, Johnston and Morgan. He devoted here considerable of his time to arguments to convince the crowd that he had grievance against The Advertiser on the score of unfair ] ness.

PASSED ANOTHER BILL.
But Circulator of Mexican Money Met
His Waterloo.

To all appearances the man who passed
a Mexican s. bill on the ticket seller at
the Crawford theater one night last week

day morning when II. 2. Wolfberg had
occasion to look into the cash register at
his store on East Douglas avenue, he no.

Of his clerks found the one who had taken
in the money. He had sold man D.
cent Jox of matches and given him S4.95
in return. Fortunately he remembered
who had given him the Mexican money
and looked the man up. The man prom
Used TO make the difference good, but
otherwise showed no disposition to do so.
A policeman was called and under threats
of arrest The man produced S4.75 Of the
money. He did not have the balance.
Late yesterday afternoon he went to
Wolfberg's store ana paid the balance
and took up his Mexican bill.
While not entirely worthless the Mex
lean bill represents but about 81 in Unit

AGENT TALKS LOSS.

more's Bio Fire.

NJ L. Sears, special agent of the Phoe-
nix Life Insurance company, who has
offices at Chicago, is in the city for sew
eral days stay IN discussing the big fire
at Baltimore, he said
The people, will never realize the ter
rible loss of property running into mil
lions of dollars which has occurred at
the big fire. And it occurred almost at
the single dash of the pen. you might
say. Not only capital is consumed in the
short time but labor as well. a fire of
that kind affects the whole country more
or less
Mr.. Sears is anxiousfy awaiting news
from the losses which his company eX-
perienced in the fire While he knows
that the Phoenix will not be a very heavy
loser in the confagration he said: Il eX-
pect there will be more than one of the
smaller companies that will be forced
to the walls by that big fire

MAN MAKES BOLD
DASH TO LIBERTY
bill" Whitfield Takes Chance
to Escape.
FACING ROBBERY CHARGE
Prisoner Has Not Yet Been
ReCaptured.

Bill Whitfield, a colored man, who is
charged with stealing cigars, escaped
from thee ity Jail yesterday afternoon at
Us O'Clock
Tuesday was cleaning day in the jan
at the city building and Bill was as
sisting some of the other prisoners. He
was sweeping while another held pan.
Both outside doors were open for the
purpose of sweeping and carrying out
the trash An officer was in cahrge but
it happened that he stepped out of sight
for a minute and Bill dropped his
broom and made a bold dash for the
door. AS he ran by the window the Off
GERS caught a glimpse of him and start
ed in pursuit, but, by the time he had
gained the door, "BlI'' had made good
his chance and was no where to be seen
The muchly chagrined officer went up
to the Office and reported his loss or
rather Bills" escape. The officers on
duty were notified to keep d lookout for
their prisoner and others made search for
him but up TO a late hour last night he
had not been Tecaptured.
Whitfield was arrested on complaint
sworn out by L. Small for the Missouri
Pacific railway. The warrant had been
issued and he was TO have been arraigned
before Judge Alexander yesterday, but
his hearing has now been postponed.
Bill is charged with stealing cigars
valued at $3.50 from the Missouri Pa
cific warerooms and afterward dispos-
ing of them TO James Belts, another
colored man for whom a warrant was
also issued This is Bills 'severalth'
offense and with the penitentlary doors
no doubt opened for him, he saw his
small chance for escape and took ad-
vantage of it. He is only eighteen years
old, but has been in the reform school
once and also in the county Jail and city
lookup on different charges. He is five
feet, seven and a half inches tall, IS
heavy and has peculiar eyes, noticeable
for their light color, which makes him
easily identified.

WOMEN ARE REGISTERING.
More Interest Being Taken Than Dur
inc Other Years

According to City Clerk Leland much
more interest has been shown in the
registration up to the present time than
during former years While heretofore
scarcely the names Of not more than one
or two women have been placed on the
books in former years. already twenty
five have registered for the spring cleo
ton
There is also a slight increase in the
number Of male voters who have regis
tered The total increase in the number
of male voters is divided evenly among
the six wards of the city. Due 10 the
third and fourth wards being the largest
usually the registration is heaviest dur
ing the first month that the books are
first opened The total registration, how
ever. is far from representing anything
like the actual total number of voters
in the city.
