THREATENED BY COMPANIES AS
TO INSURANCE OF
COTTON.
Domestic Companies Claim They Are
Entitled to the Shore End

New York, Oct. 14.-(Special.)- -
The Cotton Insurance association. rep
resenting the combined interests of
forty-three leading fire insurance COM
panes met here today to consider the
subject of insurance Of cotton, and
the advisability of increasing the
associations scope of marine cotton.
Trouble of long standing prevails be-
tween the domestic companies oper-
ating in the south and the marine
companies for control of the business
The marine companies, it is said, take
the shore end of the cotton insurance
risk, thus placing a policy on cotton
from the moment it leaves the gin
until it is landed in the hands of
foreign consumers. The domestic
concerns contend that they are enti-
tied to the shore end of the insurance,
and on this the threatened war; in

The sale of Abraham Lincoln's

was valued at only $1,000

a fair chance to speculate on the in
gratitude of republics.
But in this case it was onl. the land
on which the historic house stood.
and not the structure itself, that went
under the hammer. The Lincoln log
cabin was long since taken away and

NEGRO WOMAN STARTS TO TAKE
HER OWN LIFE WITH A
PISTOL.
Her Husband Grappled With Her, and
in the Scuffle He Was Shot
in the Leg.

The unusual spectacle of a negro
woman attempting suicide was wit
messed in this city Friday afternoon
about o'clock, when Ed Motley. col
ored, found his wife with pistol
pointed at her head, ready for action.
He grappled with her, and in the scnf-
ne which resulted, the weapon was
discharged and Motley was shot in
the thigh, the ball lodging in his body.
Such is the tale told by the woman
when arrested by Deputy Constable
Ed Francis and brought before JUS
tice !. P. Knox.
Another version is given by some Of
the Womans neighbours. They say
the man and his wife have been sep
arated, and that they had frequently
been engaged in quarrels with each
other. They express the belief that
the shooting was intentional, and that
the woman really intended to kill her
husband.
She will be given an opportunity
Of proving her intentions to the salts
faction of the court, before Justice
Knox.
The Motley man is not dangerously
wounded, but his injury is painful
one. He tells practically the same

GREAT AUTO RACE

Cup will be the last great injerna-

where in the world. Experts claim
that the manufacturers have learned
all there is to be gained FROM speed
racing, and have embodied this .IncWl-
edge in the latest models. The Mas
sua circuit is said TO be Tax superior
TO the Auyergne circuit in France,
and as a consequence The Vanderbilt
route has been hailed as the final
battle ground of the speed giants OF
the year.
