O'Clock from Memphis, met with an
accident at Virgins, thirty miles below
Little Rock, and limped in ON one
wheel at o'clock last night, says the

forced to come into Little Rock with
one engine. The broken piece of ma.
chnery was sent to Little Rock by
rail and was repaired in time to per
NIT the boat to leave on the return
trip to Memphis about o'clock this
morning
The delay was not caused entirely
by the break in the machinery, as sew.
eIal hours had been lost previous to
that time in saving quantity of lum-
ber which was in danger of caving
into the river at Olive Landing.
When the boat reached that point it
was found that the bank was caving in
and several hundred thousand feet OF
lumber was in imminent danger OF
being washed away. The boat was
stopped and the crew put to work car
rying the lumber back from the bank
of the river A portion of the lumber
will be taken on board the boat today
on the return trip.
A short time after leaving this poine

iron band which runs the length OF
the rod which runs from the piston

was rendered useless. The boat pro-
ceeded with the other engine, but the

A Vegetable Clock.

One OF the most curious plants
known is the clock plant. which is a
native Of HOrneo. and even in that
country 1t is said to be rare. The plant
derives its nameafrom It's peculiar hab-
It's, which are known to but few who
have not studied the plant from a sci
entitic standpoint. w. The plant has
leaves Of two sizes, one Of which acts
In the capacity Of q minute hand,
which keeps moving until o'clock In
the afternoon. and the other keeps 60
Ing until morning. The larger leaves
act as the hour hands. Starting in q
position when all the leaves lie close
to the stem, with the points hanging
down, they rise gradually until they
turn toward the top, and then they
drop to their former position 1t takes
the smaller leaves about one minute to
go through this performance and the
longer leaves just about an hour

value of the cotton from the cotton

said to be from some samples obtained
by Mr. EitZgcrrell from. the cotton
tree, After a thorough examination
of the second sample am compelled
TO reitcrate my previous statement
that the staple will not compare with
1hp most inferior Of the staples il.
the United States from the cottolf
plant II is good for the purposes
which | mentioned before as for max
ing cheap fats, where the cotton is
only pressed and tot woven, for mat
ting of quilts and for pillows and mat
tresses. but for making cloth and for
the other purposes for which the aver
age class of cotton is used in the Unit
ed States, do not believe it will be
success.
The cotton from the cotton tree.
Judging ii by the standard of the sam
pie | examined today, is entirely too
weak and almost altogether lacking
in tenacity. 1t is a very silken fiber
and pretty to the sight. and its seeds
would pass easily for those Of Egyp-
tian cotton. but Judging ii from my ex
perience as claSSfier | would say
that it has no very high commercial
value. It cannot certainly compare
in staple with any of the cotton from
the plant IN the United States. What
mills in Mexico are using the cotton?
do not see any reason to change
my first verdict about the cotton. and
The sample | have seen today makes
nc material change in my opinion.
| admit that it is better than
the first sample | examined.
Il must say that did not come to
Mexico to injure any industry of the i
and would certainly be de-
lighted to know that the cotton tree |
COULD be made d commercial success, |
,ut having been asked my opinion |
about the merits of the staple. candor
compelled me to state the truth 1t is |
,ossible. perhaps, that the staple may

which | can see that this might be |
lone is by grating, as is the case of

STORY OF BOSTON GAS.

The November Every body's con-
tinues Mr.. Lawson s articles on
"Frenzied Finance" and again is
there contributed several chapters
on the most sensational manipula-
tons ever experienced in the fnan
ciaI world. Mr.. Lawson first ex-
plains how Gas Addicks, driven to
desperation by the chasing of Henry
Rogers of Standard Oil fame, asked
him to take hold of his practically
bankruptcies companies, re-organ-
iZe them and commence the fight,
necessarily against Standard Oil,
that would place them back on
sound financially basis. He then
shows the agreement whereby he
agreed to do this, leaving no writ
ten loop-hole whereby the notorious
debaucher of public men, trade
trickster, candy business rule viola
tor, could get the best of him in
case his war was waged success
fully. Then the fight commenced.
Bay State Gas got a new lease of
life. Standard Oil was driven
downward. 81 Bay State went up
ward. Newspaper villification, po-
litical jugglery and the like went
on for long time. Boston, the
hub of the fight, was a seething
whirlpool of gaseous matter. The
mayor Of Boston was secured by
Mr.. Lawson and Standard Oil was
whipped for the time being.
Then Lawson feared Rogers
would buyEoff Gas Addicks, still in
control of the stock of the concern.
He proposed heading off that game.
He engineered an exceptionally
clever mode of reaching Rogers,
and on Sunday night, in Rogers
New York city home, Rogers met
Lawson, and there, in the face of
complete loss for both companies in
the Boston gas business, they
reached an understanding whereby
the Standard Oil gas property in
Brookline and Boston was to be-
come the property of the Bay State
| gas company, owned and controlled
by Gas Addicks, Rogers getting
| 81, 500, 600 more than he put into the
company, and over $4,000, 900 more
than he actually paid for the Brook
line company. He added the ex.
| pense of his campaign of villifica
ton and fighting of Addicks and
Lawson to the value Of his plant.
