 but None Are Dead.
 MINERAL POINT, Pa, Feb. 25.- "Tell Pittsburg No. % is in the river. guess everybody is killed"
 Gasping this to the operator in the railroad signal tower, half a mile east of the scene of the wreck of the Penn sylvania special, c. E. Hoover, q flag man, sank to the floor exhausted and overwhelmed with shock.
 This was eighteen minutes after the fast Chicago flier had sped past the tower at clip that caused anxiety to Ray Caldwell, the operator, accustom- ed as he is to the flight of the speedy trains of the Pennsylvania railroad.
 Caldwell needed no further infOrma- ton. He had heard terrific crash a few minutes before and realized that something serious had happened. The wires direct to Pittsburg were down. A message to South Fork, five miles east of the tower, was relayed to Pitts burg, and the railroad officials thus re- ceived their first intimation of the dis aster.
 The Pennsylvania special, running between New York and Chicago in eighteen hours, was forty-six minutes late when it dashed by the signal tow CT at nineteen minutes to F o'clock. Less than a minute later four cars were off the track and three of them were lying on the ice of the Cone maugh river, 15O feet below. In going down the train took with it trees and telegraph poles, and it must always re- main a miracle to those who saw the wreck that all the occupants of the three cars were not killed instantly or terribly injured.
 Most of the fifty-fou- passengers on the train were more or less hurt. These and the injured trainmen make total of sixty-seven persons hurt.
 Those in the KokomO, the cOmbina- tion baggage and sleeping car, were merely rolled out of their berths, as the car, after running along the ties for several hundred feet, stopped at the edge of the embankment and seemed to cling to the derailed tank that re- mained coupled to the engine. The big locomotive remained on the rails.
 In the cars that rolled down the em. bankment were more than fifty pas sengers. All were injured. Ten of the most seriously injured were taken to the Altoona hospital. PostmastGr John T. Clyne of Joliet. H., is terribly crush. ed and may not live. Postmaster Fred erick A. Busse of Chicago is seriously injured. Among others dangerously hurt are Samuel F. Nixon, theatrical manager, and F. J. Murphy. warden of the Joliet penitentiary. Representative Dawes of West Virginia and other prominent men were among the vic. tins.
 Composing the train were, the cars from Kokomo. Cressem, Whitford and Wanatah, their respective positions from the engine being in the order named.
 That steel railroad ties manufactured by the Carnegie Steel company and put in at the Mineral Point curve as an ex' pertinent were responsible for the wreck of the Chicago fiier at that point is the theory advanced by expert rail road men and confirmed by members of the train crew.

DIRECTORS FAVOR
RE-OPENING EXPO.

NORFOLK, VA, Nov, 18.-(SpeciaD
Directors of the jamestown Expo
sition have taken a bold stand in
voting almost unanimously to reopen
the Exposition next year. The decis-
ion, however, is by no means final,
for the stockholders are yet to pass
on it, and then there are numerous
creditors who must be satisfied inn
mediately after the fair closes.
The stockholders may be induced
to vote to reopen it, because they prob
ably could lost nothing and may
gain something by it. But even then
to make the reopening a success 1t
would be necessary to have the nat
ional Government again participate
in it, as we'll as the States, and that
is at least doubtful proposition, and
the State Exposition Commissioners
have already voted against it.
1t is estimated that the raising OF
100000 will suffice to again open
the gates.

CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-To say the
market of the day has been a sur
prise would be to express it mildly.
AS a political stroke, Secretary Cor
telyou yesterday decided to issue one
hundred million dollars of Panama
bonds and assist bankers in all his
power. The effect on the market was
electrical, and a sustained advance of
% points was the result. If the policy
of the administration is to issue bonds
every time the country finds itself in
financial straits, then the worst is
over and all securities and our own
great Southern product are too low.
Locally the situation underwent lit
tie or no change. Mr.. Price still
pursues his merciless war on higher
prices and a battle to the finish is
on Planters hold to their cotton
with a bull dog grip and claim to be
in an Independent position on same.
Time and time alone will determine
the size of the crop and the prices to
be paid for the balance of the crop.

COTTON VALUES UP ON
BETTER MONEY OUTLOOK
Prices in Local Spot Mar
ket Advancing.

With the shadow Of the financial
depression lifted by the promise of
the Treasury Department to issue
certificates and bonds, cotton con-
tracts shot upward with vigor yes
terday Liverpool made a more
sensational response during the mid
die of it's session, that market hav-
ing opened before the news of the
relief to the money market was
received.
The American markets opened 4
to IS points up at New York and IA to
II points up at New Orleans, as COM
pared with Saturday. Prices quick
ly sought higher levels, but when
the large estimate for today was out
there was some selling under which
the market sagged. In the last half
hour the shorts were buying freely
to cover and close was only a point
or two below the best for the day
The close at New York was p to
81 points net higher for the day
with spots quoted 20 points up. New
Orleans closed 20 to 30 points above
the final for Saturday. Spot quota
lions were advanced 1-8c. Trading
in the latter market was very limit
ed.
Liverpool was due points lower
and came ) IL to IL points down
The market sagged still further, but
when the news was received from
this country of the additional cur
rency to be put in circulation, prices
quickly jumped to level with the
close for Saturday and went merrily
on until a net gain over the previous
final was shown of IL to 8 points
Spot prices were quoted points low
er with sales of 10000 bales,
The estimates for today are: Hous-
ton 10000 bales, against 21,712 last
year; New Orleans 1899 against 49,
024; Galveston 1900 against 3d.
OPS The estimate for all ports to-
day is $4,000.
In the Americas spot market trad
ing was on a basis of 10 IA to 10
3-S cents for good middling. In the
afternoon the demand was good at the
higher figures, but factors had orders
to hold for better prices and the de-
mand was not satisfied Quotations
are advanced is of cent over Sat
urdays. The receipts for the day
were SO bales.

South in exchange for cotton. As
his offer is good only up to 80 per
cent of the selling price of the cot
ton, and as he announced that the
prevailing New York premilsn on
currency, now ranging around 4 per
cent will have to be paid by the
cotton shippers, such move is by
no means benevolent on Mr.. Prices
part 1t also shows how badly Mr..
Price wants to get cotton here for
December delivery.
