NEW YORK, April 3.-The continuance of
the drought in Texas indicated by the early
forecast for fair weather over Sunday brought
additional buying in the market this morning,
and prices moved up ten points over yester-
days close. The visible supply statement was
slightly bulish. Liverpool showed strong
undertone, and spots made a further advance
moderate business. The whole situation
appears to hinge on question of weather in
Texas 1t is still to early to plant cotton in
many sections of that state, and 1t is alto
gether unlikely that the cotton acreage will
be increased at the expense of corn and oats.
Sentiment is more bullish

CHICAGO, April 3.-There was some fancy
work In May wheat during the morning. when
the price for that month went to I.22H. The
buying was chiefly by those who had accounts
open with the firm which suspended, and as
the house had recently been on the selling side
of May wheat, 1t took fairly liberal offerings
from the bull leaders to check even more of a
furry than was recorded. A number of houses
In the trade which have been getting very
hattering crop news for fortnight past are
now beginning to hear from the damaged spots
both southwest and southeast. If anything
occurs in Mondays statistics to disturb prices
at ALL believe buying orders filled on all breaks
will show quick profits This July wheat is
sure TO work higher.
There is no such snap TO the corn trade as
noted In wheat, but 1t is a stealthy advance,
which makes shorts very tired. Local re-
ceipts were over the estimate Of 1876 cars. Pit
leaders were good buyers OF July. If lake
navigation moves out lot OF the Chicago
corn the situation will be still stronger.
The cash market rules firm. Cool weather
is damaging the new crop in some sections.
Country supplies are light.
Best observers in the pit of the opinion
that important liquidation which has been
going on all week is at end. Hogs higher
at the yards today. A few selling orders took
the edge off the market at the close, but on
the whole prices were higher and the feeling
xood on the btIVing side

MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH.
Little Susie SpalSl0r Falls Into Boiling
Water and is SGalded to peath.

A message was received at Tazewell
on last Saturday conveying the sad in
telligence that little Susie Spangler, the
bright four year old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. j. Spangler, had met with a
most distressing death at Forth Worth.
Texas.
Since the death of little Susie's
mother few years ago, she had made
her home with her aunt, Mrs. R. E.
Fields, in the Lone Star State, and her
untimely and tragic death was peculiar
indeed, and fills the hearts of her rela-
tives with deepest sorrow. A servant
In the Fields home had removed from
the stove into the yard large boiler
filled with scalding water, and returned
to the house, leaving the child at play
in the yard. After romping over the
grass for time the child started to-
wards the house walking backward,
pulling little wagon with which she
had been playing. Not noticing the
boiler filled with hot water directly in
its path, the baby-child tripped over it
and her little body was plunged into the
seething water. Members of the house
hold at once rushed to the child's assist
ance, but before she could be removed
her little body had been so badly scald-
ed that death ensued within a short
time.
The remains of the unfortunate little
one were at once prepared for burial,
and started on the long journey from
Fort Worth to Tazewell, and arrived
here on Tuesday morning, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Fields, uncle and
aunt of the baby-child. Shortly after
reaching Tazewell the remains of little
Susie were taken to the cemetery on
the east side of town, where by loving
hands they were tenderly laid to rest
beside the sainted mother who but re-
Gently preceded her child into the great
beyond.
Little Susie was a granddaughter of
the late Montraville Steele, of North
Tazewell, and niece of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. A. Steele, of Coeburn, both of whom
were here on Tuesday to attend the
burial Much sympathy is felt among
our people for the heart-broken father
and grief-stricken relatives in this sad
bereavement.

name of Coxton went to the home of

him instantly. Some bystanders ar
rested Coxton and held him over until
morning, when a warrant was issued
and the constable took him to Grundv

to know why they were enemies or any

murder. The murdered boy was onlv

the burial of Mr.. John Welch at Swords

This scribe had the pleasure of hear
ing Judge Mann and Hon. Harry Tucker
at Lebanon a few days ago. Judge
Mann spoke first and his address was
along the line of good roads, better
schools, more pensions, less whiskey
and fewer saloons. He closed his speech
with pitful appeal to the Confederates
and their sons to honor him by electing
him Governor. Mr.. Tucker followed
and he touched Mann's record very Sc
verely at times, showing the people
how he had voted in the State Senate
while trying to serve temperance, rail-
roads and the State all at one time.

The Woman's Home Mission Conference.

The coming of the Woman's Home
Mission Society of Holston Conference,
which convenes here on May 18th, will
be quite break in the monotony of
our town life, especially in church cir
cles, and should be of interest, not only
to the women of Methodism in Taze-
well, but to women of all denomina-
tions, and of whatever creed. This
body will be composed of some of the
most spiritual, deeply consecrated and
gifted women in the M. E. Church,
South, who are giving their lives, and a
large part of their time and money, to
the promotion of the different depart
ments of Home Mission work, such as
Mission Schools, City Mission Work,
Prison Work, Wesley Homes, &c., &C.,
and we bespeak for them the sympathy,
and interest, and cordial attention, of
the women of Tazewell. The Confer
ence will be opened on Saturday even
ing at eight O'Clock, with devotional
exercises, music, addresses of welcome
from the several societies of this church.
from the congregation, and district
followed by a response in behalf of the
Conference Society, and fraternal
words from the various churches of the
town, concluding with social hour, in
which our people may meet and get
acquainted with the delegates and visi-
tors.
On Sunday, at II o'clock, the annual
sermon will be delivered by Rev. ]. B.
Ely, to whom the Tazewell people have
listened before, with such genuine
pleasure, that they will appreciate this
privilege of hearing him again. The
Sunday afternoon hour will be given to
a children's service, which will be es-
pecially interesting TO parents and chill
dren. The Sunday evening program
will include the address of the president.
Mrs. Alice Chapman, of Clinton, Tenn.
whose gracious manner and charming
personality will be acknowledged by all
who hear her; there will also be ad-

The weekday sessions are also open
to every one-ladies and gentlemen
but the ladies are particularly urged to
attend these business sessions, that
they may familiarize themselves with
our modes of work.
Very attractive programs have been
planned for each evening session, in
terspersed with special music, and con-
gregational hymns. We will have with
us Mrs. j. w. Perry, of the Woman S
Board of Home Missions, and Mrs.
Summerfeld Dickey, Conference Re-
cording Secretary, two of the sweet
singers" of Holston, whom we hope to
hear frequently during these sessions;
so that, in addition to the inspiration
and information, along the lines of
Home Mission work, which may be
gained, we trust there will be enter
tainment sufficient to inspire full at
tendance at each session of the Con-
ference.
