COTTON DROPS ON
CORD|[L' S REPORT
Bad Weather and Low Crop Esti-
mates Fall on Deaf Ears of
Bears-Spot Houses Buy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.--Tne opening of
the cotton market to-day was barely
steady, being under general selling by
the ring on Cordells report, which was
construed as bearish; in fact, it was
bearish on the crop, but bullish on
grade. First prices were at net de
cline of to points on near months
and IL to 10 points decline on distant
positions.
Despite the unfavorable weather in
large portion of the belt, the list was
kept under pressure by the bear ele-
ment, who were pushing the decline,
and at the end of the first half hour
the list had widened its decline some ID
to Is points. The map showed rains
having been general in practically all
over the area east of the Mississippi
River and frost in the Central and East
ern States and considefa BILE informal ton
came to the effect that the proportion
of low grades were increasing through
out the belt, on top of this weather
experts predicted snow, rains and gen
eral freeze in the weather during the
next few days.
There was evidence OF good support
developing when the market reached
400 for October and 1887 for January.
Wires told of a disturbance off the Tex
as coast over northwest Texas, which
was likely to move eastward and cause
increasing southerly shifting to brisk to
high northerly winds and much lower
temperatures by Wednesday There was
being under $4,000 900 bales. 1t took
very little buying from the big fellows
to check the decline and prices during
the forenoon stood about points over
the opening, except near positions,
which was unchanged from the initial
range. The value of business was rather
light.
The market was very dull during the
early afternoon. Prices. however, We're
held steady at a sharp decline. A sale
of 10 900 bales of January al 13 ga, prob
ably for a German account, attracted
some attention, but was easily taken by
leading bulls
The report from Mr. Cordill came as a
surprise in view of the preceding dole
full accounts given. This report suited
the reactionary spirit lately manifested
here and accounted for the revival of
the bearish feeling. AS a whole the
market has apparently gotten in rut,
but underlying factors are extremely
bullish and old cotton men are advising
the purchase of contracts on all recess
sions.

Marshal n Nervous Wreck.
Then the yeggmen lapsed into a
jocular mood and decided that since
the marshal had labored under such
intense excitement a little repose
would be good for him. They slip
ped canvas mail sack over his
head and securely tied It's open end
about his ankles. Two Sits were cut
in the upper end to admit sufficient
air to keep the all but suffocating
prisoner alive. Then, picking up
their burden, they tossed the captive
marshal on top of pile Of mail
sacks ready to go out on a morning
train. To carry the joke still fur
ther they plastered the upper end OF
the sack with postage stamps, ex-
planning to the marshal that they had
provided him with transportation to
any part of the country he desired
to visit Then tI,ey slipped away and
faded from sight until passing
freight train rolled by and transports
ed them to parts unknown.
In relating this circumstance to
the writer an inspector attached to
the New York post office added.

men still at large, as well as q num-

Is evident that they had gned un-
der misapprenension and had no

Federal, State and city detectives
have been warned to leave no sgonH

Of the mIn who has upward Of tour

funds to those yeggmen who frequent
his place when they find themselves
in tight places and in need of cash
With this man, as well as those in
Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and
Charleston, S. c., who have been
tried and convicted on similar
charges, always ready to officiate as
%Ned's" banker" the fugitive will
not need funds to keep himself go

eiates, and, aided by them, tap the
till OF one of Uncle Sans stamp de-
positories.
"Ned's" escape from the marshal
In Governor Blease's office was not
his first experience in which he came
out victor with one of these officials
"A number OF years ago he and seve-
raj of his evil associates were ap-
pretended in small town where
they had made all arrangements Ito
muffle a drum" or blow the safe of
q post office.
Three gay cats" or '1ocaters, ~
had gone on ahead, located the job
and reported, all in readiness for
''Ned' and one associate to enter
the building and apply the Soup
The cracks of the safe door had all
been filled and sealed with ordinary
laundry soap and little cup of soap
had been fashioned at the top of the
vault door into which the nitro-gly-
icerine was poured. The fuse and de-
jtonating cap had been adjusted, rugs
hung about the vault to deaden the
report Of the explosion, and only the
touching off Of the fuse remained to
zoe done.

fortunate marshal was found lying
cramped up in his mail sack prison
he was nearer dead than alive. His
nerves were so completely shattered
that his first official act upon emerg-
ing from his bed after a long illness
was to forward his resignation from
the service. He was a complete nerv-
Gus wreck"
Post office inspectors were much
chagrined for long time to find
that 1t was almost impossible to
track Portland Ned" and his asso-
ciates with bloodhounds. Some of
the best packs of hounds in the South
were put on the trail of the robbers
less than an hour after the bank or
post Office safe was blown, but inva-
| riably the dogs veered from the trail
and all trace Of the burglars was
lost 1t was the keeper Of cele-
brated pack near Richmond, Va,
who finally solved the problem.
A post office was robbed in the
| subj rbs of Richmond, and the pack
from the State penitentiary, renown-.
ed as one of the best in the world,
| was taken to the scene of the rob-
| berry. In less than an hour after
| the robbers had fled through the
| town the dogs were circling about the
post Office, baying and giving every
| evidence that the game was not far
away. Suddenly the leader Of the
| pack threw up its head and INDUCED
! in violent attack of sneezing. In q
second every dog in the pack was
similarly affected, and despite the
| commands Of the huntsman the dogs
| refused to take up the trail and fed
| 10 nearby bushes, where they rubbed
| their noses in the earth and gave
| other manifestations Of discomfort
and suffering.
A posse which had been organized
as soon as the yeggmen were seen
fleeing from the post Office soon
brou ght the fugitiVes to bay at wa
ter tank along the railroad, several
miles from the little town. After a
spirited engagement with revolvers
and Winchester rifles the yeggmen
were either shot down or made to
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1913-06-11

about his capture. They put it
squarely up to the South Carolina
Executive. But, nevertheless, every
inspector in the country has gone to
his Office cupboard and dug out the
photograph OF Portland Ned" and
the image Of this arch criminal is
now indellibly impressed upon the
memory Of every thief catcher in
Uncle Sans service.
1t is believed that the keeper of a
New York dive whose name has been
closely associated with yeggmen and
the disposal Of their stolen postage
stamps stands ready and willing, If
he has not already done so, to adj
vance funds in abundance to the flu
gitive Ned" This man is listed in
the department files as a Fences" ale
though so far he has evaded convic~
zion on this particular charge. An
ugly record stands against him, for
long prior TO his settling in the Bow
cry he served time as a burglar. His
aliases are numerous, and according
TO post Office inspectors he is szthe
friend Of nearly every post Office and
bank burglar In the country, always
readily accepting their stolen stamps
at 25 per cent discount on their
face value and readily disposing of
them in New York. 1t is further as
serted that he willingly advances
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1913-06-11

The outside men, or "stick-ups,"
had been stationed at their posts, and
Ned and his assistant had crawIed
into the post Office again after going
outside to make sure the Dickets
were at their posts. Just as Ned"
was about to apply the spark to the
fuse warning cry came from the
out-posts, and Ned" and his COM
panion sprang through the open win
dow of the post Office building to be
confronted by the stalwart figure OF
man, who, with pistol drawn. com
manded: Hands up, or I'll bore you
through"
Yeggs Turn Tables on Marshal.
A glance about them convinced the
pair that the "stick-ups" had PLAYED
the parts of cravens and fled. With
hands uplifted Ned" and his com
rade were relieved of their weapons,
and their captor, who proved to be
United States deputy marshal for
that district, ordered them to walk
on ahead of him toward the town
lookup.
AS the little procession was pass
ing bank building block from the
post Office the two "stick-ups" who
had fed leaped from the sha dows
and darted past the trio. The mar

chase or cry out an alarm. His hesi-
tation was fatal, however, for before
he could turn upon his prisoners
both were upon his back, one seizing
his hands, SO that he could not use
his revolver, while the other clapped
his hands over his mouth to prevent
an outcry. The marshal was dis
armed and stood up against the wall
while in low tones orders were is
sued to him. First a handkerchief
was bound over his mouth, COM
pletely gagging him; then he was
told to walk on to the post Office
and crawl through the raised win
dow. The Least de. iation from these
orders, he was told, would result in
bullet crashing, through the back
OF his head, The marshal recognized
that his late prisoners had complete
ly turned the tables on him and he
complied to the verT' letter of the Or
ders issued
Once inside the rickety old post
office building the captive marshal
was bound hand and foot. He was
told thar he had few moments be-
fore rudely Interrupted a very deli
cate but highly profitable operation
and that if he would promise to be
good he would be permitted to see
just how perfectly expert yeggman
operated on safe when he had such
| an appreciative audience to applaud
his work and skill. Although he
writhed and twisted, the marshal saw
, that 1t was hopeless to resist, so he
; remained passive, but almost chok-
! ing from the gag that had been
| placed in his mouth, while his cap
| tors set to work to complete the job
! before them.
| The blast was set off, and although
! the marshal was not more than eight
! feet from the vault door he luckily
escaped serious injury as the metal
barrier hurtled from it's hinges and
lay crumpled and buckled at his feet
! The work Of iimmying the inner door
: consumed but a few seconds, and
: there before the yeggs lay the little
+ horde they had taken such desperate
chances to reach. Stamps to the
