they do not expect the farmers to spend
much money. They say that last seaso j
three-fourths of all the checks for cotton
were payable to the growers, not to the
commission merchants, ana tnat the
fanners took their money home with
them, spending less of it than in many
years. They will hold on to it this yeaiJ

victim is a young girl only years pkd
and the evidence shows that she has bt-en

- m&nder-in-Chtef An Exciting
Contest A Victory for the
x - South and "West. . " : ;
- PrrTsBtTEo, Pa., Sept. 13. After one
off the, most heated contests in the bis-
tory of the order, Col. Thos. G. Lawler,
of Rockford, Ills., was this afternoon
elected commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of . the Republic, defeating his
only opponent, Col. Iyan N. Walker, of j
Indianapolis, by the narrow majority of j
11 in a total vote of 649. Considerable
excitement attended the balloting, the I
two candidates running neck' and neck,
while twice the Indianapolis man was
in the lead. His friends had it figured
out that he had won by six majority
until the result of the ballot had been
declared, and then the boys from Illinois
in the theatre as well as in the lobby and
out on the sidewalk went fairly wild
with enthusiasm. . Lawler's election
marks the downfall of the Pennsylvania
and Eastern element that has long
been; all powerful in the high
councils and control of the order and
will lead to the appointment of a new
quartermaster general to f "succeed j
Gen. Louis'Wagner, of Chicago. Lawler
was offered the support of the Pennsyl
vania delegation on condition that the
appointive officers were given to the
East, but he declined to enter into any
bargains, and so the Eastern strength
was thrown to Walker. The Western
and Southern delegates voted solidly for !
Lawler.: the was - nearly forty ahead
when the ! calling of the roll of depart
ment delegates was concluded, but
twenty-nine votes from the officers and
council of administration went to his op
ponent, and the Kockford veteran was I
literally pulled through by the skin of
his teeth, i

campment were senior vice commander,

The Latest News From Bluefields.
New Obleans, La., Sept. 13. The
steamship , Gussie arrived to-day from
Bluefields. I She left that port Friday
evening. Her officers report that the
village was quiet when they left.
Nothing was known of any new arrests
in Bluefields. However, there are rumors
that many Indians who did escape to the
interior had joined the forces . of the
revolutionary party in Nicaragua.
About 100 Americans are still in Blue-
elds, hoping for some improvement in
the-8ituation, but unable to do any busi
ness wnatever.
The twoA&cericap prisoners who were
reported to haveGaped from Grey
town, but in fact werV-aJlowed to taae
the ship are at present in?Port4jmon,
Costa Rica. It is understood in
held that the American : Consul made a
bold front in regard to the prisoners, in
sisting that their trial be held in Blue
fields and no where else, it could not
be asserted by officers of the Gussie if
these two Americans had pledged them
selves to return to Bluefields and stand
trial, but the fact that these gentlemen
are now under the protection of Costa
Rica and the United States both, indi
cates that for the present the , Njcaragu
ans are contented with their banishment.
All last week, the American man-of-war
Marblehead was in Bluefields more
as a decoration than as a protection,
Capt. O'Neill probably followed instruc
tions from Washington, and kept him
self very quiet and almost invisible. The
Columbia, was supposed to be at Port
Limon, waiting for developments and
ready to receiye orders by cable from
Washington.
All . the English prisoners, including
the English Vice Consul are still in the
interior awaiting triil, and are in con
stant danger of their lives being taken
by some of the fanatic Spaniards.
Byan Knocks Layton Out
St. Joseph, Mo. , Sept. 13. The fight
for 2,500 between Tommy Ryan, of
Chicago, and Billy Layton, which was
hooked to take place here to-night at the
St. Joseph Athletic plub could not be
pulled off in the city limits on account of
the vigorous action shown at the last
hour by the municipal authorities. A li
cense to give an athletic exhibition was
refused bj the mayor and the chief of
police was given positiv orders to arref-t
the principals and spectators rx any at
tempt wag made to fight in the city.
The managers of the mill anticipated
such action and sent out the tip for the
sports to g&tber a the river where a
barge took them and the pugilists to the
island-over which the jurisdiction is
neither municipal, State or Federal.
The mill took place on a sand bar in
the middle of the Missouri river. The
famous Sam Jones tent covered the bat
tle ground ! The tent, which has a seat
ing capacity of S ,000, was crowded with
the sporting fraternity. Th security
offered by the neutral ground on which
the fight took place was the means of
bringing about an effort to secure the
Jackson-Corbett fight, when it eventu
ally' materializes.
The fight was for a purge of 5,0$Q and
the welter weight championship of the
world. Both men stripped at 146 ancL
were in the pink of condition. It was
11:50 when they both entered the ring.
At l:55 the men shook hands and
time was called. -
First round-Both men starred carer
fully, Layton seemingly afraid "to rush.
Ryan led with his left and caught Lay
ton in the neck. Rapid fighting was fol
lowed by a clinch, and the round ended
in Ryan's favor. - "
Second Round Ryan led, with his left,
catching Lay ton's chin. A terrible left
hander at Layton's jaw ' was neatly
ducked, but as he came up Ryan hit a
left swing, catching. Lay ton in the neck,
staggering him against the ropes.- First
blood was claimed for Ryan and allowed.
Third round-rrRyan led his right for
Lay ton?s Wind, but suffered a rebuff in
the shape bf Layton's right in his eye.
A rapid exchange was followed by a
Clinch. Ryan made a swift pass for
Layton's wind with his right and caught
him fairly. It was the winning blow.
He gave Layton a !ef fc in the jaw and the
call pf time saved hint.
fourth round Kyan went in to finish
his man. Layton was groggy and was
hammered all over the. ring. A heavy
right in the neck, followed by a . swing
ing left in the wind made way for a
right in the jaw and Layton went down
and was counted out amid the cheers of
Ryan's friends. . ,
. The Debs Contempt Case.
Chicago, Sept. 13. Counsel for the
defendants in the . American Railway
union cases surprised the Government
attorneys by deciding at the conclusion
of to-day's proceedings not to call any
witnesses in behalf of their clients, but
to rest their cases on the evidence pre

After discussion, the court concluded
to have the case argued orally Septem
ber 35th, and to allow briefs to be sub

COL. BRECKINRIDGE CLOSES.
His Last Speech of the Campaign j
His Bitter Personalities A ffl- j
davits Damaging to 'the
acter of Owens 1
Lexington, KyTrSepi-lSThis after
noon at Fort Spring this county, CoL
Breckinridge made his farewell county
speech to over 400 people; forty-twp
were ladies. He began in a conciliatory
manner but before his speech of one
hour and a half was ended, he indulged
in most bitter personalities. He , wound
up his remarks in a beautiful peroration
in which he pleaded with the voters not
to endorse the mudslinger from Scott
county (Owens) but to vote, for him on
Saturday. -
"At the close of the canvass," said he,
'I want to enter my protest against the
constant, infamous attacks on the good
people who have supported me. The
candidate from Scott has in every part
of the district safd in substance thatno
man could affore in the presence of his
mother, or his wife, or his sister, to per
mit any woman who would support me
to pin a buttonhole bouquet on the lapel
of his coat. . This atrocious insinuation
has been made when he knew that thou
sands of good women attended my meet
ings and desired my re-election. It was
an insult to every woman in theidistrict.
It was characteristic of his; nature
and of his life. It is the natural result
of his vocation and of his private asso
ciation those who have supported him
have carried on the canvass upon the
same plan. The Louisville TYmes.owned
by a gang of blackmailers (W. N. Halde
man of the Ccmrier-Journal), and edited
by a hireling assassin of character (Em
met Logan) who is constitutionally a
coward and an habitual liar, have in
numerous articles made the same inti
mation and in the issue of Sept. 11th
says: "The virtuous and noble women
of the Ashland district are in the fight
against Breckinridge.''
He who charges that the women of
this district who are for me are unchaste
and ignoble, puts himself beyond the
pale of civilised association and the
owners of a paper who print it become
eternally infamous. There are no words
to express the unutterable brutality of
an editor or owner who deliberately
prints and makes money out of such
coarse, vulgar and brutal statements.
Every voter who supports Mr. Owens
practically approves the brutal and infa
mous method of canvassing.
To-night CoL Breckinridge gave out an
interview in which he shows affidavits
that his opponent W. C. Owen3, was a
gambler . in Chicago last year and m
tended to stay there. He also prints an
affidavit showing that Mr. Owens, in
company with a woman, was put out of
a Louisville hottl. These charges coming
agamst Owens at this late date will pre
vent him from r plying.

f or Chicago. :- . -New
York, Sept. 13. The stock mar
ket presented few features of interest today.;-.
The volume of business was quite
moderate and fluctuations, generally
speaking, were confined within very
narrow limits. The Industrials, with
the exception of Sugar, were weaker
than the rest. Whiskey and General
Electric j were especially so. I The' former
dropped 2f per cent, to 12i and the lat
ter 2i to 38j. Whiskey was unfavorably
affected by the action taken yesterday
by the holders of rebate vouchers, some
f which are said to have fallen into the
hands of parties inimical to the interests
of the Whiskey trust. The drop in Gen
eral Electric was occasioned by the de
cision just rendered against the company
in a restraining suit against; one of its
competitors. Cordage declined 1 for
the common and 2 for preferred. Sugar
however held its own, closing at 105 i,
the same as yesterday. The: stock was

afterwards receded to 47. The general
railway list, after a stead v ooeninsr. de

tial recovery, ine announcement that
the directors of the St. Paul company had
declared jthe usual semi-annual dividend
of 3i per, cent, on the preferred and 2 on
the common strengthened the market,
and was1 followed by a vigorous bear
raid, which carried down St. Paul from
the highest to 66, Burlington 1: It I to 75.

Lackawanna was strong and General
Electric and Distillers showed a rally of

lowest figures touched. The bond mar
ket was j weaker. The sales of listed
shares aggregated 133,000 shares, and
unlisted 59,000. !
Chicago, Sept. 13. The already much
discussed Government report will not
"down." j It still continues to receive at
tention, of a hostile nature however, and
to indirectly affect the grain markets.
The criticism by private statisticians of
the correctness of. its figures was the prin
cipal factor in the corn market, and to
some extent also in the wheat market
to day. The trade took more stock in
the private figures than in the official,
the former estimating -amuch larger
crop than the latter, and the 'markets
were Weak in consequence. At the be
ginning Of trading wheat was easy in
sympathy with the weakness in corn,
and on j free selling by yesterday's
buyers, i Ihe depressed feeling was
also assisted by the Cincinnati
Price Current, which estimated the
wheat ' i crop at about ! 70,000,000
bushels more than the Government re
port indicated. The trading' for some
time continued dull, with a downward
tendency, the principal buying being by
local shorts and holders, of puts. The
early weakness brought put a' great deal
of wheat, Pardridge being credited with
selling 1,000,000 bushels. Prices through
out the session fluctuated within a nar
row range, and while the trading was
fair, it was confined to the local crowd,
outsiders manifesting but very little in
terest; in ' it. Towards the ; close the
market steadied at the-decline on re
ported liberal exports. December opened
at 57c, sold between 57fo and 56fc, clos
ing to c lower than yesterdav, at 57ic.
Cash wheat was steady. , j
corn started weak on free Belling by
both the outside and local traders on the
Cincinnati Price Ourrent estimate of a
crop of 300,000,000 and possibly 400000,
000 bushels more than was indicated by
the Government report. The market
continued heavy, considerable long corn
being sold to help the break along. When
the large estimated receipts for to mor
row were posted the market weakened
still more, and after a slight rally con
tinued steady at the decline until the
close: j . J .v I :
Oats were fairly active, the feature
being the buying of May by two large
houses on outside orders. ; Offerings were
liberal andscattered, butwere well taken.
The market was weak in sympathy with
corn. May closed io lower than yester-
dayr-uash oats wee firm, with a good
demand.! Prices were-unchanged.
Provisions opened father firm,, but
weakened on free offerings of all deeesnp
tions, prices receding on all the-large
articles, i At the reduction the demand
improved and prices rallied slightly, but
trading was on a moderate scale. Janu
ary pork closed 12 Jc lower, January lard
lie and ribs 7ic lower. ;
