There is a great deal of com.
plant again on this branch about
the slow handling of freight and
cane cars. The freight train has
SO much work to do that the crew
is overworked. The train can on.
Iy leave New Iberia in the morn.
ing and get to Breaux Bridge,
sometime Arnaudville for mid
night. at which the train stops for
a little rest and reach Port Barre
only the next morning. Return
ing. this train meets with the same
condition, making one trip one
way d day, or freight train every
other day. This is very inconvi-
nient for the hauling of the cane
crop which has to he transported
by rail. This slow handling of
the cane cars is causing heavy ex-
penses to the planters. And they
are as slow kicking at this service
as the train is slow iu moving the
crop.

Cotton Exchanges a Burden
Texas Farm and Ranch.

That the effect and baneful 10.
fiuence of the cotton exchanges in
New Orleans and New York may
be fully appreciated by our read.
ers We call attention to the fact
that in the cities where these ex.
changes are found the price of cot
ton is lower than elsewhere-low-
er than in Liverpool. Market re.
ports of the 26th declare that Lii
verpool refused to pay attention
to the decline on this side New
York and New Orleans) and open
ed with a firm tone and an advance
of one and half to two and half
points" Now the cotton opera
tors are beginning to get their
eyes open to the fallacious spot
quotations" posted daily in the ex-
change cities to which Farm and
Ranch called attention some weeks
back on the authority of RESPONSE
bic members of the exchanges. A
Galveston market report in the
Galveston News makes this tardy
confession, October 26:
"The wide range of prices in the
various spot markets of the coun-
try is resulting in varied expires.
sions of approval and disapproval
from members of the trade. With
Galveston &c higher than New
Orleans and &c higher than Hous-
ton, and with even a wider range
between Galveston and Savannah.
some are inclined to question the
local quotations. In discussing
this matter, it develops that fac
tors in Galveston who have cotton
are refusing to offer even at pre-.
sent prices and, although they ad-
NIT that no one is offering to buy,
it is contended that there is no
real reason to lower quotations ra.
pidly.
Galveston quotations declined
&c during the week, but still main.
tain the old difference, as compar.
ed with other markets. Spot bust
ness at Galveston, Houston and |
New Orleans was very light. while
the Atlantic and at Memphis it
assured fair volume. There is
nothing unusual in the above con-
1ition. for it has prevailed during
he entire season."
The reason that these cotton
operators now "see the light" is
because they are Disseminated
against by these bogus quotations
very time they try to get on the
bull side of the market. Spots are

'hanges mark the weak places.

The Democratic Committee of
Lafourche parish turned down Mr..
Trosclair, a candidate for sheriff,
because he was Republican Sc
veral years ago, and in the recent
elections had participated with the
Democrats and voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, bat this was not
enough to satisfy the parish COM
mittee that be was a good, sincere
Democrat, and entitled to receive
the Democratic votes of Lafourche.
The case was tried before the
Courts in Thlbodaux last week.
We will get the decision shortly
Our parish committee WAS not 81
exacting, it accepted the appiica
ton of Mr.. D. Dugas, who resign
ed the craftsmanship of the Reps

ago, and became a candidate foi
Constable. This shows that the
opinion and action of politicians
are not always based upon the
same principles.
Judge Martin has decided the
case against Mr.. Trosclair. The
case will be appealed.

LOST THEIR FAFDS.
To Save the Lives of Their Fellow
Workers.

At New York in order to save
a number of comrades from death,
Olive Jude and John ]. McGlynn,
iron workers, each lost hand on
Thursday. The two men were at
work on the Long Island city tower
of the new Blackwell Island bridge.
They were working high up on the
structure, and it was their duty to
guide into place the great steel
plates on which tie girdle rest. Be-
low them were working score OF
other men.
One of the great plates that had
lust been settled into place sudden
ly began to slide. Unless 1t was
stopped it would plunge from Its
base onto the heads Of the men work
ing below. Jude and McGlynn saw
the danger and, shouting to the
workmen below, each threw an arm
around a beam and each seized with
his free hand the sliding plate. BY
gigantic effort they slipped it
to one side so that it rested against
beam. But they we're unable to
withdraw their hands in time.
Jude's right hand was cut of at
the wrist and McGlynn's left hand
vas terribly mangled. Comrades
rigged a tackle and drew the plate
back so that they were released,
meantime holding the two injured
men so that they did not fall from
the tower. At the hospital Nc
Glynn's hand was amputated. Both
will recover.

A FATAL CRASH.
Section of d New Bridge Falls In
to Swollen Stream.
SEVEN men DROWNED.

High Water Caused the Accident.
The Catastrophe Occurred Just at
Nightfan, When Men Were Pre-
pairing to Knock Of Work for
the Day. There Were Many
Narrow Escapes.
High water Monday night caused
the collapse of new bridge in
course Of erection over the west
branch Of the Susquehanna River
at Mif1ingville, Pa, and resulted in
the death of seven men and the in
jury Of nearly score of others, two
fatally. Forty men were at work
on the traveller on the middle span
Of the structure when it collapsed.
They were all thrown into the swol-
len river.
The collapse of the bridge was
caused by the rapid rise in the river.
The water rose during the day at the
rate Of almost one foot an hour and
debries carried down the stream 81
the food struck the false work Of
the bridge and caused its collapse.
The accident occurred just at
nightfall, when the men were pre-
pairing to abandon their work. AS
result the work of rescuing those
who were thrown into the water and
caught in the mass of twisted irol
and steel was greatly retarded. The
second span of the bridge was being
erected and it was this section that
fell with the big traveller.
The bodies Of four Of those killed
were found floating on the surface OF
the water entangled in the bent and
twisted girders and iron work, but
the others haven't been found. Many
Of the men were caught In the rapid
water and carried a mile or more
down the river before they were
rescued. -.
One of the most miraculous es-
capes was that of William Nesbit,
who was caught in the iron work
and held a prisoner an hour with
his mouth and chin above water be-
fore being rescued. The bridge was
being built by the State to- replace

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Policeman Davis, of SaIIeY, Prob.
ably MortaIly Wounded

When In the Act Of Unlocking the
Guard House He Is Fired Oh in
the Dark.
Chief Of Police w. H. Davis, of
Salleys. was shot from ambush Fri
day night and may die. A shotgun
was used and the charge penetrated
his abdomen.
In a statement made directly af-
ter the shooting in the presence OF
several witnesses Mr.. Davis stated
that he had been shot by Morgan
Boylston, with whom he is said to
have had trouble recently.
Mr.. Davis was formerly on the po-
lice force in Columbia, but has been
in Salley about two years. Recently
he had serious trouble with Mr.. Boyl-
ston and his son-in-law, Mr.. D. o.
Manning, and when it became nee
essary to arrest them he had to use
considerable force, and the two men
indicted Davis for assault and bat
terry and false imprisonment.
This case was to have been tried at
the last term Of court in Aiken, but
was continued.
A few days ago Mr.. Davis at
tempted to arrest Mr.. Manning
again and in doing so had to beat
him up considerably. The case
against him was heard by the city
council at Salley Friday, but result
ed in mistrial.
Davis had a negro locked up in the
guard house at Salley and Friday
night he went to the building to re-
lease the prisoner. Just as he was
about to unlock the door some one
stepped out from behind the guard
house and fired point blank at him.
and the wounded man claims the
shot was fired by Boylston.
The latest report from his bedside
is to the effect that his wound is
mortal. Davis has preserved order
during his incumbency as chief OF
police and is held in high regard by
the people of Salley.

Two White BRuTEs
Arrested at Union on a Most
Serious Charge.
They Attacked and Attempted to
Assault q Young White Woman

They Attacked and Attempted to
Assault Young White Woman
on the Highway.
A special dispatch To The News
and Courier from Union says on
Sunday afternoon a dastardly at
tempt at criminal assault was
made. 1t is alleged, by Lester Beck
nell, white, upon Miss Fannie
Vaughn, respectable white girl of
16 or 1S years Of age.
Miss Vaughn and Miss Sadie Will
lard come to Union last week from
their homes near Santee on a visit to
relatives. '.~.
On Sunday, little before sunset,
the two girls were walking on the
Southern Railroad leading to Spar
tanburg. When a short distance up
the railroad they were overtaken by
Lester Becknell and man who gives
his name as w. C. Massey. The for
mer is native Of Union county.
When these men came up with the
girls Miss Willard turned and ran
back to the home of her brother-in-
law, but the men took hold Of Miss
Vaughn, carried her some distance
up the track and into a thicket,
where she was knocked down, beat
en-, about the face, and the men on
ly desisted from their efforts to ac-
complish their purpose when they
became alarmed at the outcries of
the girl.
Upon being arrested Becknell re-
NAMED stolid and weakly denied his
guilt. Massey, on the other hand,
pointed out Becknell as the guilty
party, and stated that he himself
only stood off and looked on while
Becknell made his attempt.
No one having denied this &C
count of the affair, Massey, who only
came to Union last week, Is being
held in Jail as a witness, while
warrant was promptly issued for
Becknell on the charge Of an assault
with intent to ravish.
Miss Vaughn's brothers assaulted
Massey after the occurrence and
stabbed him in the back with a
knife, but the wound Is not a serious
one
