SURPRISES TIE RECORD.
Santa Fe Shipped 1881 Cars of
Oranges in March.

Albuquerque y. NJ April 10
Oranges are going forward at a rate
unprecedented in the history of south
ern California since the citrus fruit
industry assumed its present proper
ton. and this in spite of the agitation
that has been on nearly a month the
result of low prices and the general
decentralization of the market. Ac-
cording to statistics compiled at Santa
Fe headquarters that system shipped
during barch, 2,331 cars. the best
sh owing ever made in the same time.
The total exceeds by 1914 cars the rec
ord of any other month The next
best showing was made in April, 1901.
when Santa Fe shipments aggregated
2.137 cars It is a peculiar fact that
the same year was noted for a de-
mora liza ton in market conditions al
most similar to that of the present
season, the difference being the rail-
roads and not the agency methods Of
marketing were held responsible
Conditions are reported as imprOv-
ing and prices are much higher than
they were a month ago. The fruit is
said to be arriving in the east in bet
ter condition than ever before and the
prospects are reported bright for the
tail-end of the season retrieving. at
least in part part OF the losses felt
earlier N the year.

Announcement was made few days
ago that awards in the election contest
conducted by The Times during the late

fetal figures could be obtained.
Attention has been called to the fact
that several papers in different parts of
the United States which conducted con-
tests on similar lines have announced
the winners of their prizes
The Times has investigated the figures
on which these awards were made and
finds that in many cases they will not
hold good when the official vote is an
nounced-
The Times is making a canvass of the
secretaries of all the States, and In Jus
tice to the many contestants and the
large sum involved in prizes there must
be no question as to the exact figures.
Already more than half the States

brings certified returns. It is the ear
nest desire OF The Times to make the
awards as soon as possible. and unless
there Is a delay in hearing from some
States at a great distance this will be
accomplished within a short time.

FARMERS OF GEORGIA
BURNING Up COTTON
Said to Be Destroying Product to Keep
Prices From Going
Down.

AS result of the tremendous slump
in the price of cotton on the New York
exchange yesterday, following the pub
LEGATION of the Census Office report.
which points TO a record-breaking crop.
the farmers of Georgia have begun to
burn a portion of the crop which has
not yet been marketed.
They do this in order TO prevent a
further fall in the price of the staple
and, if possible, to furnish grounds for
an advance. 1t Is reported that upward
of 800, COO worth of cotton was burned
in Georgia yesterday and that this
movement will be initiated in other
Southern States.
II. New York yesterday the declines
in the price of cotton represented a
drop from Tuesdays figures OF from 81
to SO points. while the decii::ss for the
DAY ranged from rs points for July TO
81 points for the March option The
lowest level In almost three years was
reached In New Orleans the break
ranged from II to 50 points.
The report on which this slump was
based showed a crop of 1885, 14 running
bales as against s, 749, 669 bales in 1893.
Roughly estimated, the fall represents
a money loss to the cotton growers of
something like $50, 000, 600.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-No longer the
happy Nan Patterson. who before the
disagreement of the jury waited eX-
pectantly for the outcome of her trial,
the young woman IS a mental anG ply
steal wreck in her cell in the Tombs-
So serious is her condition that her
father says he fears she is going in
sane.
While Miss Patterson remains locked
up, with a charge of murder hanging
over her, the district attorney is trying
to make up his mind whether to try her
again or release her under bail.
Ever since two of the jurors who
voted for conviction sent their views to
Mr.. Jerome and after Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Rand heard that all
twelve of the jurors threw out the i'm
portant Julia letter, on which he
said his entire case hinged, the dis
trict attorney has not been anxious to
try the young woman again.
Both Mr.. Jerome and his assistant
realize that with the evidence now in
possible to find twelve men who could
be convinced the actress shot Caesar
Young.
Millin Permitted to Depart.
That the new trial, If there be one,
will not be in the near future, was in
dicated when Mr.. Rand told John Mil
lin. one of the principal witnesses for
the prosecution, he could go to his
home in California for three months.
Miliin has been anxious to get out to
his breeding farm, but ne did not want
to leave town while there was any pos
sibility of new trial. The fact he was
told to go home is taken as indication
Miss Patterson will not be called to the
bar again before next April.
Meantime the question of permitting
the young woman to go out under bail
is in the air Abraham Levy and Daniel
O'Reilly called on Mr. Rand to learn
what disposition would be made of the
case. Not even to the attorneys for
Miss Patterson would Mr.. Rand com
nit himself as TO his future course 1t
was said in the district attorneys office
Mr. Levy had asked for a postponement
of the case because he was not In
physical condition to go on with new
trial That was denied by Mr.. Levy
