CURRAN a Co.
Says That MverpOors Demand
Naturally Helped Market.

Savannah, Ga, May 5.-The cotton
market to-day was rather irregular.
but there was a firmer tendency, and
shorts were scared. There was talk
that the bear clique was seeking to get
under cover, but there were no mate
rial evidences in this direction. July
at times displayed great strength, and
there was reason to believe that an
unusual buying power was being felt.
The conditions hinged largely upon the
weather map. The latter was rather
less favorable than heretofore, while
the private reports from various sec
tions of the belt were quite bullish.
There was a good demand for spot
cotton. and the buying was more gem
eral. Liverpool bought moderately, and
this helped the market. Receipts to-
day, 2,430, against 4,129 last week and
$3.50 last year. For the week. esti-
mated, $4,000. At the close there was a
good undertone, but trade was only
moderate,

FROM DEATH TO LIFE.
Freezing Boy Rescued from Ice
 Float by Bridge Workers.
Youth FIoated HelplessIy for oven Three Hours After skiR Was Over- turned-PuHed to Safety by
 Means of a Long Rope.

Albert Smith, 19 years old, after float ing on a cake of ice in the Missouri river at St. Charles, Mo-, for more than BE hours, was rescued by workmen on the Wabash bridge in a daring and spectac- ular manner, while a large crowd watched the thrilling scene.
 The shouts of the youth and the sig nals from the commercial bridge above attracted the attention of the workmen on the railroad bridge, while his ice float was many yards away, and imme- diately the men lowered long ropes at points where it seemed likely that he would pass close enough to grab life line.
 Whether he would pass near enough to be saved was a question which whetted the keenest anxiety on the part of all spectators.
 Slowly the cake of ice came under the bridge. He reached out for one of the dangling ropes and grasped 1t tightly, and thrust his arm through the moose.
 At the first tug to lift him up he slipped from the cake of ice into the frigid water.
 ne WAS TdISEu dUOVe C0G WaCCI, puL 1SI1 back. Another plunge would have end ed his life, but the bridge workmen were determined, and on the third effort the lad was freed from the flowing ice and then drawn slowly through the air to the bridge, while a great shout from all observers rent the air.
 Then arose the question as to his hav- ing life in him. A party of men carried him to the station. He was revived, dry clothing provided and nourishment given him. He then told his story, say ing that he lived with James Caten, at the city water works. and worked for a farmer in St. Louis county.
 Early this morning started to work and tried to cross the river in skiff," he said. When I was about 100 yards from the spot where I intended to land, a great cake of ice struck the skiff and overturned it. l kept myself above the water and finally managed to climb on

 AS the train was just leaving a sta- tion some ten miles from her destina- tion the girl made a spring at the win dow and an attempt to get out on the platform. The elderly man retainAd her, however, and pointed out that 1t would be better to 60 station further than risk her life in that manner At the next station the very same thing occurred, and the girl seemed terribly distressed when she was again pre- vented from jumping out. Finally the doctor gave the frighten- cd girl his card and asked her in 8 kindly way what he could do for her. Then the girl told her story. She had seen her fiance on the platform beck oning to her to come out of the car riage at both the stations which they had left.
 The doctor, little incredulous. of course. told her that she had better got out at the next station as she felt so distressed. It was only three miles from the house and she could take a cab. &
 The, girl saw nothing when she stepped out onto the foggy platform, and just as the train moved on a man stepped into the, carriage and took his place beside the doctor. Within three minutes Of it's depart ure that. train was in collision with a goods train, and the only man who was fatally injured was the stranger who had taken his place opposite the doc tor .f#..-.

 Coat Made of Bruins Departed Relative.

Dr. Harry M. Ulsh, a civil war vet eran, who is driver of rural route No. 2 from Lewistown, Pa., was held up the other morning near Strode's Mills by black bear.
 Ulsh, who wears a large coat made of the fur of the bear family, was driving leisurely along, when 8 black bear crossed the trail ahead and stopped by the roadside to take good look at the doctor and his coat, as If he recognized in it long-lost brother.
 But the physician, not desiring any closer acquaintance with his bearship, put the whip to his horse, and, devia- ting somewhat from his usual route, he made record run to the next farm house, where he asked for help.

 "In one instance the marshal had to begin shooting, but no sooner had the double charge plowed through the snow and smashed out panel of the door than a man and snow shovel began work and kept 1t up until path was cleared.

 Smith was first seen by Superintendent Broughton, who was on the Highway bridge. Broughton signaled to Superin- tendent McPhearson on the Wabash bridge that there was 8 man in the water. McPhearson called his men off the work and ropes were brought and lowered. Eighteen lines were lowered when Smith reached the bridge. and others were coiled ready for use.
