white men who claim to have come from
Chattanooga yesterday, were arrested yes
terday morning by Policeman Veitch in
Jack Greener's saloon on the Bowery'

ty.
The accuser is a negro who claims that
these two men held him up and robbed
him some time ago, and that they shot
off one of his arms in so doing. He has
the stub of the arm as evidence, and has
only recently been discharged from St.
Vincent's hospital, where he was treated.
The negro claims that the two men,
whom he says he identifies, held him up
and robbed him of $23 near Pell City, In
st. Clair county. The men were placed
in the city jail, and yesterday afternoon
habeas corpus proceedings were insti-
tuted before Judge Sam Greene in the
case will be heard this morning
The men claim that they were in Chat
tanooga at the time the negro claims they
robbed him. They are union men and
were on a strike at that time, and were
drawing their weekly allowance from the
union. To get this they are required to
stay in the town where the plant from
which they are striking is located. The
only evidence against them In the iden-
LITIGATION of the negro, who pointed them
out in the barroom. He says that the
robbery was committed at night and
for this reason his Identification is hardly
complete.

an eventuality, but that it was not even
dreamed of the previous day in Manches-
ter. No doubt, he said. it would have
the effect of greatly relieving the mar
ket, but great caution must be still en-
ployed. 1t was Mr.. Macara's belief that

yet placed to the credit of the committee
any part of the $4,000 which Samuel Ray
mond, one of the local committee which
secured the convention for Chicago,
agreed should be put up to guarantee ex-
penses. Shortly before Senator Hannas
death Senator Hanna notified the Chicago
committee that $4,000 or $4,000 should be
deposited subject to the check OF the
secretary of the committee to defray the
preliminary expenses of the committee
Some bills having arrived for expenses
of the committee on arrangements which
recently visited Chicago, the matter was
again brought to Mr.. Raymond's atten-
ton, whereupon the latter replied that
the local committee had been disappoint-
ed in collecting subscriptions and did not
have the money asked for, but Mr.. Ray
mond requested the committee to draw
on him for any expenses that might be
incurred meanwhile.
This reply was not acted upon, but
two DAYS ago another letter was sent
directing the deposit at once of $40, 900
In a trust company of Chicago, subject
to the check of the committee on ar
rangements, and 1t is said If response is
not received that this has been done,
the executive committee of the national
committee will be called together to de-
eide what shall be done about the mat
ter.

Exciting Scenes at Little Rock.

Little Rock, March 1S.-Exciting scenes
followed at the Little Rock board of trade
today when the news came of the Sully
failure The ensuing panic knocked out
cotton quotations for today, but in the
opinion of local cotton men the net re-
suit will, be beneficial, as the mills will
now be able to buy cotton, and in the
REIMBURSEMENT will be in shape to quote
prices and sell their products.
President Hamberg announced that the
Little Rock board of trade will give no
cotton quotations until the excitement is
over. Cotton men in the spot business de-
clare that henceforth the trade will have

Effect at Houston.

Houston, Tex, March 1S.-When the an
nouncement of the Sully B. Co. suspen
sion was made from the Houston cotton
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 the
state very rapidly.
Everybody wanted to sell, consequently
very little actual business was done by
the brokers. SO far as can be learned,
the losses are comparatively small indi-
vidually, and no local firms were serious
ly affected.
General sentiment in Southern Texas
was bullish, and Sully had many admir-
ers because of the fact that former
Texan was member of the firm.

that Sully's owings, after settlement un-
der the rule of the exchange would not
exceed half a million dollars. What Sully
has personally lost, or what his hackers
have lost in market operations, Is not
included In this failure.
There were no other announcements of
failures and leading men In the cotton
market declared that there need be no
fear of trouble.
In stock exchange circles the failure of
Suly was at first taken as a sure sign of
the collapse of the cotton boom, Later
there was some apprehension lest the
failure might bring down Il string of
banking institutionsain the south.
Mr.. Sully's suspension was announced
on the stock exchange, but not until
shortly before the, close of the market.
1t was announced on the coffee ex-
change also. The cotton bulls recently
went into that market and caused an ac-
tivity there that corresponded to the ac-
tivity In cotton The coffee market
slumped and rose with the cotton market
last month, but it was significant that the
announcement of Sully's suspension
caused only a slight break In coffee.

crop conditions and foresaw the short
crop of that year. as well as the short
crop of this season. 1t was said that a

His May campaign was a success and
it was estimated that he personally clear
ed over million dollars by it.
He established a cotton house OF his
own last year under the name of Daniel

In cotton became so successful. the cot
ton market having been pushed up above
II cents pound early this year. he widen
ed the scope OF his firms business;
bought seat on the New York stock
exchange, went into the coffee exchange,
got a membership on the Chicago board
of trade and it was said made connec-
lions with other prominent exchanges
throughout the country.
