SIX MEXICANS KILLED.

MERIDA, Sept. THE parting Of a
cable on the British steamer Halls in
the port Of Progreso, brought instant
death to six men Wednesday. They
were in a small boat alongside the
steamer, which was being unloaded,
when several tons of boxed machinery
broke from the hoists and crashed down
squarely on top Of the small boat. Two
were rescued unhurt. 1t Is understood
that the boat will be detained in port
until an official investigation can be
made of the accident, which has ex-
cited much comment. All the dead are
Mexicans.

Duties-Marine Notes.

While complete list of the total
value of the exports from this port
during the month of January. 1906.
has not yet been compiled at the local
custom house, 1t is stated by the Gus
toms authorities that nearly 100000
worth Of exports were shipped foreign
from Newport News during the
month. Undoubtedly the export bust
ness of the port during the first month
of the new year was greater than that
Of any single month in many a year.
Eighteen Grain Ships.
During the month eighteen steam.
ers carrying an aggregate of over A.
100000 bushels Of oats. corn, barley
and wheat. cleared foreign from this
port and nine foreign steamers got un-
der way with full cargoes of exports
consigned to ports in England and the
European continent. Three steamers
cleared foreign with cargoes OF coal
and forty-one foreign ships stopped at
this port for bunker coal in January.
1t is estimated that the total cost of
all Of the cargoes taken out of this
port by those vessels will aggregate
nearly $4,0O0O00.
February Opens Strong.
There never was such q rush along
The waterfront since the year of 1895
as there was during lost month. Sew
enty.seven foreign steamers came into
port and about eighty sailed from this
port for foreign ports.
The month of February has opened
up with indications of another busy

the port will be as large this month
as IL was last

LYNCHBURG DEATH MYSTERY.
Jury's Verdict Shows Doubt - Ev!
dence Points to Suicide.

The Campbell county coroner's jury at
Lynchburg. Va. yesterday returned q YER
dict relative to the death Of Miss Lottie
Mathews. daughter OF Mr.. w. Frank
Mathews. a prominent business man of this
city. Her body was found In Rivermont
Park early Wednesday morning The YER
dict of the jury was that she came to her
death between 4:30 pm. February 10 and
8 am. February ii by a bullet wound
in the head. caused by a weapon In the
hands OF some person or persons unknown
to the jury. The verdict Is Endorsed by
many. but there are others who think there
is no doubt that tho young lady's death is
the result of her own act. Members of
the family maintain stoutly that foul play
has been done.
While the fact that Miss Mathews bought
the revolver which was found at her side
is strong indication OF suicide. there are
so many other mysterious circumstances
surrounding the matter that the jury re-
turned the verdict as stated.
The whole affair is to have a thorough
sitting. The county and city authorities
will conduct the investigation together
