5O-POUND BLAST
Requires Second Charge to Dis

ton in River.
FALLS OUT OF THE BANK
Government Engineering Forces De-
stroy Big Rock Which Caused
Sinking of Helen Blair.

1t required 100 pounds of dynamite
the lower point of Suburban island
that caused the sinking of the steamer
Helen Blair and tore hole in a barge
of the Lone Star during the past week.
Two 50-pound blasts were used. The
first failed, but the second charge did
the business.
The dynamiting of the obstruction
was supervised by Captain ]. C. Nc
Elherne of the United States engi-
neers' Office of this city. The acct
dent to the Helen Blair and the Lone
Star were reported to the engineers
Office Immediately after they happened
and orders were issued for the removal
of the obstruction. The boulder was
first located and a buoy placed over
it as a warning to other passing craft.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Nc
Elherne took a force of men to the
lower point of the island equipped to
break up the troublesome rock. A hole
was bored and the first charge of dynG-
mite placed in it. Seemingly it did
not get a solid hold, and after the
smoke had cleared away the rock was
found to be intact. The second charge
was more firmly lodged and it did the
work clean, the boulder being blasted
into thousands Of bits and scattered
over the bottom of the river.
Eight Feet in Height.
The boulder stood eight feet high.
Where it came from probably viii
never be definitely known, but the
-AeoTy is that it rolled out of the en-

the spring, at which time the water
was unusually low During low water

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 1S,-The cotton
market opened steady at decline OF .
points on May. but generally las points
higher and during the early trading
sold into high ground for the move
ment, May firming up with the rest
of the list on covering of shorts, firm
cables, large English spot sales and
fresh buying for long account.
The frost predicted for the Eastern
belt did not materialize, but there was
no rain in the Southwest, and II was
reported that hail-storms had done
some damage in the Atlanta district.
Slight recessions occurred during the
morning. but there was no sign OF
weakness, and toward midday the mar
ket became sensationally strong, with
the general list selling up to a net ad-
vance of about 1903 points, September
showing the maximum gain. This was
due to urgent covering and fresh buy
ing on reports of firm southern mar
kets, and increasingly unfavorable pri-
