RAVES IN CELL.
Former Trainer of Sullivan Confined
 in Southern Jail.
From the Atlanta News.

From the Atlanta News.
 In a cell of the Aiken county jail, pac- ing back and forth along the narrow floor. frantically grasping the iron bars as if lie would exert his giant strength in shak- ling down the walls of the structure, and raving in his madness, is held the man who trained John l.. Sullivan when that giant rose to the heights of glory as the champion prize fighter of the world.
 Little less than a giant. with muscles like iron on a massive frame, Donnelly, the trainer. is held by the Aiken authori- ties until they deem it expedient to ar raign him before Probate Judge Whatley upon charge of lunacy
 Donnelly's arrest created excitement yesterday. The man whose strength and skill piloted the once famous John l.. to the ring in which he won the Richard K. Fox belt, resisted the officers of the law and attemptesd with all his might. to free himself from them in spite of the heavy handcuffs which encircled his wrists.
 As two of the largest officers of the Aiken police force half dragged the rag ing man to the little guard house, he Ifoamed at the mouth, and streams of blood burst from his wrists where the steel of the handcuffs cut into the flesh.
 Donner1y has been accustomed to hav- ing what he desired, having been bene- ,fited by 'the enormous tips which John l.. Sullivan tmade to all those In his employ Iment in his palmy days The reminis- cences which Donnelly who is an Irsh- man, could relate of the ex-champion lwere rendered by the rich Irish brogue
 It is not,dmprobable that Donnelly will ,lbe sent to Sthe insane asylum at Colum- ,bia.

 The Baltimore Herald says:
 preliminary summary in the Railway Age shows that the year 1903 promised to be conspicuous for records in railroad building, but that owing to the instability of Wall street securities and the frequent labor troubles, what otherwise would have been a remarkable year in the history of track extension, ended with no extraor- dinary margin over the railroad building of 1902. According to the preliminary statement, the new track increase for 1903 was only thirty-nine miles more than that of 1902. The final statement for the former year will doubtless increase it's new track mileage, but probably not to any marked extent. Had the last six months of 1903 continued the pace of the first six months, the record In new track mileage would have been unusual. The publication quoted submits the following table of tracks laid from January 1 to December 31, 1903:

TRADE CONFINED TO
 NARROW LIMITS
BUSINESS IN CLOTH MARKET MUST BE DONE AT GREAT RISK BECAUSE OF CONTINUED COT. TON FLUCTUATIONS.

Manchester February 7-Amid the whirl of sensations business in the cloth market was more difficult than when co;- ton was at it's highest point. Trade was confined last week to the narrowest limits, the markets abroad declining 10 operate on the present basis to any material ex- tent. buyers believing that sooner or later rates will go stlll lower, although oppot- tunity for securing much material below the present rates are becoming fewer, as stocks and cheaply bought material be- come absorbed.
 Buyers are more interested at present in watching the varied phases of the cot ton gambling and the violent and rapid fluctuations therein. It is recognized that there is no chance for steaaness for seY- eral days, and any business must be done at great risk There were lew practicable offers for India cloths. and 1t is sug- gested that the large Indian trade is wait ing for cotton to drop three half pence more. China and minor outlets were quiet
 Yarns were unsettled. The turnover was moderate and confined to small lots for sorting up purposes.

LARGE PURCHASE
 OF RUSSIAN BONDS
BUYING WAS FEATURE OF LoN- DON STOCK EXCHANGE AS WELL AS OF THE CONTINENTAL COURSES.

London, February 7-One of the feat ures of the stock exchange last week was the large purchase of Russian bonds. This was also feature of continental bourses and is supposed to have been for the purpose of maintaining Russian credit Apart from the movement, busi- ness in almost all the departments was greatly restricted last week, although un- til Saturday very general hopes were en- tertained that peace would be preserved.
 Opinions differ greatly as to the effect of the news of the rupture of diplomatic relations between Japan and Russia. Many persons believe firmly that after temporary dip, the markets will revive.
 Americans were dull with small busi- ness. The cotton trouble had depress- ing effect, although 1t is believed here that Wall street is not greatly involved.

This is still another proof of the rapid and substantial advancement that is being made throughout the south.
 It will be seen from the preceding table that on 3S0 lines in forty-three states and territories, Alaska incluoed over 5723 miles of new track was laid. The states reporting no new track laid are Maryland Delaware Rhode Island, Connecticut, Yer mont New Hampshire and Nebraska. The new mileage added in 903 brings the total railroad mileage in the United States up to 2O9S S55.

Frisco at the port of New Orleans has been increased from 5000 to 15,Oo0 feet.
 The Railway Age says: At a meeting of the executive officers of railroads en- tering St Louis, held on February 2, the question of passes during the fair sea- son was touched upon to the extent of developing general sentiment in favor of aboishing free trip transportation to St. Louis during that period. meeting of a special committee, to be held on February 29, will consider and settle the whole question.
 A uniform bill of lading has been drawn up by the Louisiana railroad commission for freight on all roads in that state, and the commission has ordered all of the railroads to adopt the same. In the adop- ted instrument there are six provisions.
 Nearly all of the railroads entering New Orleans will probably initiate the action taken by Division Passenger Agent J. Kemp Rldgely of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad in seeking an injunction against scalpers of New Orleans to pre- vent their handling Mardi Gras tickets. All of the roads have given special rates on account of the carnival and all have to contend with the question of ticket scalpng. The matter may get into the United States circuit court.

 Last year 10O5OO steel cars were built. In 1897 the principal steel car manufac- turing company turned out but 501 of these cars.
