 NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-New high records were made in the cotton future market today Great excitement prevailed here, at Liverpool and in the South and traders as a whole were quite nervous throughout the day. The trade generally was quite active The Liverpool ad- vices reflected sensational advance in the English market and this development had considerable to do with shaping the course of the market throughout the day. The receipts were light and the reports from the South with reference to the spot situation were univers- ally favorable to the longs. There was con- siderable selling the better price levels but much long cotton coming out was well taken in consequence of good demand from shorts. The demand at time was quite gen. erai and in some cases extravagant predictions were made as to the level to which the market may advance Some interests were inclined to figure on 2o-cent cotton. sully was out with broadcast throughout the country Hence 1t is expected that there was much outside buying of cotton today. It was estimated that the amount of cotto nto be brought into sight this week would run at least 10000 bales un- der the corresponding week of last year and decrease in port stocks was also generally looked for. July cotton in the New Orleans market sold at t6 cents and this encouraged the local bulls to no small extent. Private ad- vices from New Orleans indicated that the bull leaders were taking on big loads of vari. ous active months. The port receipts for the week are estimated at I45,o0 bales, a de- crease of about 10000 bales as compared with last year The estimated port receipts for the day were 24,0Oo, against S9 6o2 for the same da ylast year.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.--The feeling in cotton circles today was bullish as when cotton was selling around 10 cents. The character of the Liverpool market early in the day was favor able for . further rise here and big buying advanced early prices to@22 points. shorts were on the run and bears were being thinned out every hour on the theory that the crop was turning out below calculations and that there was poor prospect for . crop this sea- son anywhere near what would be needed January is drawing to . close with the bulls stronger and more hopeful than ever before The expectation is that we shall witness a steady falling of in movement. Liverpool is very confident of prices beipg further ad- vanced and the absence of any opposition to the rise there Or here is as marked as at any time during the season. Tn fact nothing that might be said against the crop or the price made any impression and after the opening prices advanced 90 swiftly as to surprise even the bulls Cables closed about 30 higher Southern buying was on a fair scale while a sood deal of support came from the specu- lative Wall Street interest. Holders of cot- ton at 2G3c lower were indisposed to sell un- til prices were much higher and would not care to say whether they would accept IS cents if the crop pointed later only to s.7so.- 900 bales. Estimated port receipts today were only 24 900.

SEATS WILL BE HARD TO GET,
Changes i'm Coliseum to Comply
With New Building Ordinances
Takes Out Many Seats.

Chicago, Feb. s-The action of
the city building department in limit
ing the seating capacity of the coli
scum, where the national republican
convention will be held, to 5000, has
thrown members of the national sub
committee and local politicians into a
turmoil. The action comes, of course,
as the result of the Iroquois fire hor-
ror and the reforms started by Mayor
Harrison following the disaster With
all public halls and gathering places
the seating capacity has been reduced
This will compel a reduction in the
apportionment of tickets of admission
to the different states from what had
been expected. 1t is proposed to give
Chicago about 1000 tickets to each ses-
sion of the convention. These will be
turned over to the local committee for
distribution.

DUG Up His Gold.

Perk erown, who lives some eight
or ten miles from Union City, on
the Troy and Hickman road, whom
it was thought would die several
days ago of pneumonia, is improving
and the chances for his recovery are
good. Mr.. Brown is an old bachel-
or, who owns a fine 500-acre farm,
and has accumulated quite a little
fortune, being very economical.
When his physician informed him
that he was likely to die, and that
if he had any business to see to he
had better attend to it, he informed
him that he had some money buried
in an clubhouse. The money was
dug up by neighbors and found to
be $3.50, $1,000 being in twenty
dollar gold pieces. The money was
taken to Troy and deposited in the
Troy hank.

guilty >

The verdict was returned at ten
o'clock When the court opened at
eight o'clock Saturday morning the
jury had come in and reported that
they were unable to agree. They were
ordered back to their room to further
consider the case.
When the jury finally reported ready
to render its verdict, the defendant was
not in the court room. 1t took several
minutes TO find him. The jury was
brought in quickly, and the verdict was
read by Judge Graves. AS its import
was realized, a dozen of Col. Buffers
friends gave forth a w. shout, and
dashed out of the room and into the
street to spread the news. Butler
stepped quickly from his place and
shook hands with Foreman Rosser.
Then he walked down the line of ju-
rors, shaking hands with each. Within
a few minutes Judge Graves polled the
jury and discharged them. Friends
surrounded Col. Butler, and after hold
ing an informal levee all left the room,
Butler laughing and joking with those
about him.
When he finished shaking hands
with the jury, Col. Butler turned to his
son, Eddie, the big blacksmith. There
were tears in the old mans eyes and
the young man, unable to speak,
grabbed his father and kissed him.
The jury contained five young men,
none of them over 27 years of age, the
youngest being 25. The oldest juror is
Sc, while the average age is 35.
Judge Graves held the jurors until
midnight Friday before permitting
them to retire.
The jury was brought into court at
$40 Saturday morning, and informed
Judge Graves that they had been un-
able TO agree.
"Is there any prospect of your reach
ing an early decision?" asked the court
Il can not say" replied Foreman
Rosser, I'VE are still considering the
case"
Judge Graves thereupon requested
the jury to retire again, saying he
would recall them in short time
Circuit Attorney Folk was astounded
by the verdict.
About Is ballots were taken. ac-
cording to Foreman Rosser, and at the
SIdIC Tic jury SCoOu zen IOI dcqulJIdl

ing to convict changed after the first
ballot
THE jurors did not want to convict
the defendant" said Mr.. Rosser, ION
the testimony of boodlers and perjur-
ers, whose statements were fatty con-
tradicted by men of good character.
Again, we did not think the cir
cumstances pointed to the defendant s
guilt. On the evidence of the state,
even though we thoroughly credited 1t,
there was serious doubt as to Buffers
guilt"

the Iroquois theater, in which 572
lives were lost on December 80 last.
1t has been uncertain whether the

The cost of repairs will be $22 900.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY
IN TENNESSEE
Which Resulted In Four deaths And
Three Persons Wounded.
GREW OUTOF LABOR TROUBLES
The Dead Men Were killed By
Guards Employed by the Tennes-
see Coal Creek Company to
Protect Non-Union Miners. !

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. S.-A bloooy
tragedy was enacted Sunday in the lit
tie mining town of Coal Creek, Tenn-'
forty miles northwest of Knoxville, as
the result of which four lives were
snuffed out and three persons wound
ed, one perhaps fatally. The CLASH
was the elimination of the trouble be-
tween union and non-union labor.
Three of the dead men were killed by
guards employed by the Coal Greek
Company, while the fourth victim,
deputy sheriff, was killed by guard
he hid gone to arrest.
Those Killed Were:
Monroe Black, a miner, married;
leaves a wife.
Jacob Sharp, section hand, by
stander; leaves wife and six children.
Deputy Sheriff Robert S. Harmon.
killed by Cal Burton, a guard at the
Briceville mine.
The wounded Are:
A. R. Watts, merchant at Coal Creek,
an innocent bystander, shot through
both cheeks.
Mote Cox, miner, shot through left
arm.

killing Results From Taunts.
Recently a dozen guards in charge
OF Jud Reeder, who served as lieuten-
ant of police in this city for many
years, were employed to guard the
mines and protect the men who had
been induced to go to work. Nom
union men were being brought to the
mines rapidly for few days, and
Reeder and his guards would go to the
RAILROAD station to meet them. Sun
day a crowd of idlers around the sta
tion was increased. Reeder and
twelve guards came from the mines to
meet a few non-union men who were
TO arrive on the morning train. When
the non-union men got off the train
and were seen by a number of small
boys they began yelling "scab." and
the killing grew out of this taunt.
Deputy sheriff Harmon Killed.
1t is hard to tell what the provoca-
ton was, but the miners must have
crowded up and attempted to take away
the non-union men bodily or offered
some direct insult to the guards.
Reeder and another guard drew their
pistols and began shooting, Reeder do
ing most of it. The miners and by
ISLANDERS were taken by surprise, and
before they could realize what had hap
pened the guards had climed into their
wagon and driven back to the mines.
About II o'clock a dispute arose be-
tween Deputy Sheriff Bob Harmon and
Guard Cal Burton. Burton shot Har-
mon twice, killing him instantly.
