VIRGIN FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER.

NONer PFlVatS Leased Wtre.0
 NEW YORK. May 2.-Cotton futures in the local market to-day opened rather weak in tone with first prices to points lower The loss was increased subsequently, in con sequence of scattered liquidation. Room traders sold the market quite freely In that the cables from the English market were disappointing. while the climatic conditions were reported to have improved materially The conditions in this respect more than offset the light movement. Shorts Were ner- vous. however, op the theory that the good conditions regarding the new crop could not materially increase the supply of actual cotton on hand now and naturally they worked hard to get under cover. The de- mand from this source helped the market to no small extent. Prices recovered a little but generally the tone was rather easy. Room interests continued bearish and made no effort to control their position on the short side of the account. The trade as a whole throughout the day was only of mod crate proportions. Port receipts for the day were figured at 2s,000. against 41,3o3 last week and 6T.2S3 last year. The late market was nervous and feverIsh. but generally the bearish interests were quite successful in making an impression. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000. against IT, e7s for the same day last year.

NEW YORK. May 2.-The cotton market opened weak at a decline of 60 10 points under liquidation ard selling by rooms bears as result of be Ser weather over Sunday than expected, and weak English cables. Trading was not active, but commission houses appeared to be selling the late months for long account, and with the profess sfonals evidently hunting for stop or- ders on the long side in the summer options, the market continued easy, soon increasing the decline to a matter of 13@2s pointR. Following this. there was partial rally as room shorts turned for profits and around midday the market showed some steadiness at a recovery of from to 8 points on buying encouraged by reports of good that Eastern spinners had recently been buying out of local stocks. The gain was soon lost. however. and while the market in the late trading was dency was downward, and the market closed at within a point or so of the lowest. The final tone was steady on moderate covering with prices net 100 at only 250.00o bales The new crop months were relatively steady in the late trading on predictions. of less fa- vorable weather in the Western belt mand on the ground that the weekly report of the weather bureau at mid day tomorrow would prove a bullish factor. Exports for the day were heavy. Receipts at the ports today, b,6I0 bales, against 9,696 last week and 17.s7s last year.

mob of 200 citizens tonight stormed the VIII

TIE alleged assault was committed while
the girl was visiting Powers home with
her parents. and became known at once.
The child is reported to be in a dying con-

Within few minutes the town was filed

This stopping would hardly have held an
other hour. l have been thinking all night
over the mystery Of your sister-in-law's
death, and over every minute detail OF evil
dence as to how the poison could have been
administered. Suddenly the coincidence of
both sisters having had their teeth stopped

the solution came to me. The more con-
sidered 1t the more ! felt that l was right,
but by what ffendish cunning such
scheme could have been conceived and ex-
ecuted Is still beyond my power to explain.
The poison is very like hyoscine, one of
the worst toxic-alkaloids known, so violent
in Its deadly proportions that the amount
that would go into tooth would cause al
most instant death. 1t has been kept in by
gutta percha stopping, certain to come
out within a month probably earlier, and
most probably during mastication of food.
The person would die either Immediately or
after very few minutes, and no one would

What followed can be told In very few
words. Nine Sara was arrested on sus-
picion. She appeared before the magis-
trate, looking innocent and beautiful. and
managed during her evidence completely to
baff1e that acute individual. She denied
nothing, but declared that the poison must
have been put into the tooth by one of the
two Brazilians whom she had lately en-
gagged to help her with her dentistry She
had her suspicious with regard to these
men soon afterward and had dismissed
them. She believed that they were in the
pay OF Jose Aranjo, but she could not tell
anything for certain. Thus madame es-
