Monument to COME derates.

Washington, October 3O--'"rhat Ar

tain memorial monument to the Con-
federate dead who are buried in its con-
fines seems to be certain" said DR..
Samuel K. Lewis.
DIR. Lewis is chairman of committee
from the various Confederate organiza-

purpose. The same men also will select
the plans for the monument which Ia to
be either of bronze or marble, and which
will probably cost about $4,000. The
committee declares that the monument
will be built by sculptor who is an
artist. and thss the memorial will be a

funds. While no definite date can be

and finance it.

Costly Fires In Laursns.

Laurens, Oct. 26.--At about 8 O'Clock
this afternoon large number of bales of
cotton was set on fire at Cross Hill, q
town on the Seaboard railroad, and
about sixteen miles of Laurens. Be
tween 400 and 500 bales we're burned.
The cotton was on the railroad platform
and presumably caught from locomo-
tive engine.
burned at Mountville, town on The
same road, and five miles from Cross
Hill. This fire was presumably started
in the same way. In both cases cotton
has been accumulating on the platforms
and the railroad has given receipts for it,
but on account of the congested freight
conditions has been unable to move it..
The cotton was consigned to various
parties.

Sixty or more bodies are still in the
water. A wrecking train from Philadel.
phia is on the scene of the accident and
an attempt is being made to raise the
submerged cars. The draw iwaa closed
when the cara were derailed. A broken
axle IL believed to have been responsible
for the accident.
The brakeman of the train, Walter
SCOTT, was drowned. The conductor,
James l.. Curtis, escaped from the third
car by jumping through q window. The
other two cars are under thirty feet of
water.
Another dispatch says the accident
was due to rail turning In" It ap-
pears that the rail, which was an outside
one on the right hand side, coming
down, must have been out piumbsd
about an eighth of an inoh.
The sharp flange of the electric train
caught this and twisted inward. Had it
spread instead of twisting inward the ao-
cident never would have happened. This
twist threw the first car OFF the track and
into the water.
third cars were dragged with it, and
while the third car was descending the
rear portion struck piece of abutment,
hung for short time, and then slid into
the water. But this brief stop saved
several lives. A number of men and a
Few women leaped out of windows and
the rear door, either into the water or
caught hold of post and were rescued.
1t was stated that fully eighty to one
hundred passengers were aboard, mostly
all crowded into the first and second
cars. These are entombed.
L. @. Smith, of New Field, and A. r.
Kelley, of Jeffersonville, N. Y, who
were passengers on the train, got off at
Pleasantville for no other reason than
that something told them to change their
minds about coming to Atlantic City.
About fifteen people got off at Pleas
antville, said they, and nearly as many
more got aboard. They said only 100
passengers were on the train, and great
many of them were women.
The Work OF Rescue.
Atlantic City, Oct. 29.-At IL O'Clock
fifty one bodies had been recovered from
the wreck on the West Jersey Railroad,
on which train. loaded with men, wo-
men and children, dashed into the Thor
oughfare yesterday.
OF the dead thirty-nine have been
identified. The fact that some bodies
were recovered outside leads to the be-
lief that possibly those drowned, and
who have not already been found, will
never be recovered. 1t is probable that
some bodies may have been carried away
and will eventually reach the ocean.

ELECTRIC CARS LEAP FROM BRIDGE
EIGHTY PEOPLE ARE DRnwMEH--aHHi 4
FEW EsCAPE-TERRIBLE SCENE.

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 2S.--In a
wreck on the Pennsylvania electric Rail-
road at least 75 to 80 people were killed
this afternoon.
Three cars jumped the track in Thor
oughfare. All the bodies are now in cars
submerged in water. The tide is rising
and divers and wreckers are at work.
Five bodies have been recovered.
The train left Camden at O'Clock this
afternoon, and was due here at 2SO.
The accident occurred about mile
from Atlantic City, where the train
jumped the rails on the long tfestling
over Thoroughfare, an inlet Of the aea.
The bridge itself is nearly mile long.
The train kept to the bridge for about
200 feet, when the forward car broke
through the guardrail and plunged into
20 feet of water.
The other two cars followed almost i'm.
mediately, but the rear or third car
caught on the abntment and hung with
the forward end in the water. The rear
door remained open snd through this
some ty' snty or more persons escaped.
The Royal Artillery Band, which was
on it's way to Atlantic City to fill an en-
gagement at Young's Pier, was on the
train. The leader of the band was
among the saved. Most of the passen-
gers are Philadelphians. Police head
quarters say that nine bodies have been
recovered at 7.30 O'Clock and twenty in
jured persons removed to hospitals.

win Print Bank Notes.

New York, Oct. 28.-.It is officially an
IL years the American Bank Note Com
pany, of this city, has wrested the con-
tract for the making of postage stamps
from the government. The contract
was first awarded to the government
bureau of printing and engraving on its
estimated cost, which was far below
actual cost. The difference was made
up annually through the deficiency bill
passed by Congress, thus the bid sub
mitted by the government bureau bore
no relation &c The actual cost OF the
work. This was unfair to private indus
try and at last the Congress post office
appropriation bill compelled the bureau
to put in bid at not less than cost
The result was that the American Bank
Note Company was again the successful
bidder.

Big Deal at Montecito
Special to The Herald.


SANTA BARBARA. May 31.-One Of
the biggest land deals of the year has
just been launched quietly in Mouteoito
by a close corporation of some thirteen
prominent residents of this district who
have secured practically all the water
front property of Montecito and will
hold it in large tracts for the construc-
tion of expansive estates only, in order
to keep this district from being popu-
lated by small dwellings and cheap
homes.
A ninety-day option has been secured
by Francis T. Underhill from the Mon
tecito Land company for every lot be-
longing to the company lying south Of
the county road. This includes all roads
and drives, and roughly speaking COM
prlses about fifty acres. including all
the unsold lots in the tract bounded by
the cemetery, the county road, the Neal
tract and the ocean. This option was
secured over a month ago, and before
Mr. Underhill left for New York he had
interested a number of property owners
who are anxious to keep that part OF
Montecito free from anything IN the
nature OF "shacks" and to preserve
enough land In the neighborhood Of the
Country club for golf links and a polo
field.
The plan for financing the undertake
ing Is to form a stock company for the
sale of twenty shares at $2500 per
share. This amount viii be sufficient
to take up the option. Buyers viii not
be limited to single share. and several
have slgnified their Intention Of taking
two or more.

NEW YORK, May S1.-Interest in to-
days stock market was confined to spe-
cal stocks. The market as a whole was
unchanged from the dull and listless trad
ing of last week Some Of the movements
in special stocks had nominal causes in
the circulation of rumors regarding plans
for the companies. Others We're without
explanation beyond the character of the
buying.
The identity of some of the large ope-
rators in the stocks usually active was
the same as the active factors in some
of the leading movements last week. This
led to the assumption that the dealings
were designed to sustain the market dur
ing its period of dullness. Such was the
effect of today's special movements while
they were occurring. The effect was
very moderate even then and lost some Of
its force afterward when dropping tone
developed.
The strength of st. Paul was connected
with suppoSitionS regarding the plans for
financing its Pacific coast extension. 1t
was asserted that buying of the stock
was based upon knowledge that arrange
nerts had been completed for securing
adequate resources for completing that
work.
The money market developments were
of some Importance but seemed to have
little effect on the stock speculation San
Francisco again sent heavy remittances
to New York by telegraph through the
subtreasury, the days total reaching $3,
100000. At the same time some 2,0O000O
was sent from New YORK TO Cana0a,
representing the fund attracted here dur
ing the stringency due to the drain to
San Francisco.
Conditions in the foreign exchange
market were greatly confused by the con-
: tradictory information regarding the
United States treasury attitude in the
policy of aiding gold Imports by govern
ment deposits. Finally the deposit of
bonds for the withdrawal of $1,500,000 by
the National City bank was allowed on
the ground that the arrangement for the
gold to be imported antedated the decis-
ion to discontinue the practice for the
present. This decision is explained as
being due to the present sufficient sup
plies for the money market, doing away
with the emergency condition which
prompted the adoption of the practice in
the first place. Money was freely offered
on call.
Pennsylvania was heavy throughout
and weakened sharply at one time with
the circulation of a rumor that the plac-
ing of bonds in Paris had fallen through.
The denial of this rumor failed to rally
the stock, and st. Paul reacted when the
directors adjourned without any an
nouncement of project for financing its
extension. The effect of these two incl
dents was to impair the advances and to
make the closing tone easy.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales par
value S2 $50, 600.
United States old As advanced u per
