New York, Oct. 10. The Sun's cot ton report says: Cotton advanced 1 to 2 points, but lost this and declined 8 to 9 points, then rained slightly and closed steady 6 to 7 points lower for the day. Sales were 147,600 bales.Liyerpool de clined 1J points; recovered this and then declined 1 points again, closing quiet. Spot sales were 112,000 bales at unchanged prices. In Manchester yarns were dull, cloths quiet. New Orleans declined 7 to 9 points. Silver declined in London 3-16d. Spot cotton here was 1-1 6c lower. Sales were 160 bales for spinning. To day's features No frost was re ported at the South and to-day the weather was warmer, while for many sections of the cotton belt still warmer weather was predicted during the next twenty-four hours. The crop movement was liberal. -Liverpool was weak. The South was less active at easier prices, and, finally, tho report of the agriculj tural bureau, while stigmatized as in many respects absurd, was, nevertheless, considered a bear card,: inasmuch as it reported a better condition than in many Octobers during the last twelve years. The crop was 12 per cent, better than that of October! last year, and only 3.2 lower than a month ago. A condition of about 80 had been generally expected. The better weather news from the South and the bearish;construction placed upon the bureau report caused ; considerable selling both for (American and European account. Very1 heavy rains have fallen within the last forty-eight hours in some parts of the cotton belt, but they had lit tle or no influence. The severe storm prostrated many of the wires. The bureau reported the jcondition at 82 7, against 85.9 in September, 70.7 in Octo ber of last yearland 75.7 in October, 1891. Pool JRooms Closed. , - Cincinnati.

He reported the matter to the police station and he asserts that a uay or iwo alter this he was assaulted by the policeman who finally arrested him. He was fined $5 on the testimony of the police.

JamouneauV president of the Alvin Manufacturing company, testified to paying Detective O'ConDor $100 for the recovery of stolen goods from the pawnbrokers. Vincent Majewski, who conducted a policy shop, testified to the tribute ex acted by the police. He explained that there were seventeen or eighteen backers in the city, and that they arranged with the police for the territory they should work. All the backers, except Cornelius B. Parker were in the combine at the present time. He was working alone, but was not allowed to have many shops on the West Side. Asked who had that territory, Majewski replied Al Adams. "The , King." Letters were read which are alleged to have passed between Majewski and the police Captain Westervelt. In these letter there were constant -references to the dangers of exposures by the newspapers. Majewski was troubled by opposition policy shops which did not pay tribute and fake letters of complaint were mailed to Superintendent Byrnes, but no atten tion was paid to the complaints. Majew ski claimed that four of the policy shops complained of were still running. The investigation closed for the day wi'h an examination of Lieber Freemen; who claimed that he visited "Siver Dol lar" Smith to secure immunity from ar rest for his brother-in-law, Jos. Frankel, a Hester street saloon keeper. A man named Solemon claimed to represent Smith and $203 was finally paid to secure the release of Frankel from prison. The arrangement was that Smith should find bail', but he secured a discharge for Frankel. The money was raised by Max Rosenschweig, and as Smith did not procure the bail as arranged upon at first, Rosenchweig has brought suit in the city court to recover $200. The Funeral of fix-Governor Cartin. Bellefonte, Pa. , Oct. 10. Notwith standing the rain which fell since early in the night, the crowd that assembled here to-day to pay the last tributes of respect and honor to the memory of ex Governor Andrew G. Curtin was num bered by the thousands. : Prominent men from all over the State and adjoining States were here. The first part of the funeral services held was a citizens' meeting in the court house at 10o6!fock. when the building was packed to overflowing. Gen. Beaver read the memorial minutes and resolu tions of the Centre county bar associa tion which were adopted and brief tributes were then - paid to the life and memory of the deceased: At the close of the citizens' meeting the remains, under escort of a guard of honor, composed of Company B, Na tional Guard of Pennsylvania, of Bel!e fonte. and twenty members of Gregg Post No. fc5, Grand Army of the Repub lic, were taken to the court house where they lay in state until nearly 2 o'clock. During this time" they were visited by thousands of the ex-Governor's fellow citizens and many friends from abroad. A few minutes before 2 o'clock the re mains were returned to the family resi dence on High street, where religious services were held at 2 o'clock. These were of the simplest character. There was no singing. Rev. Dr. Laurie, D. D , pastor of the Belief onte Presbyterian church, had charge of the services and was assisted by Rev. Dr. Robinson, of the Western Theological seminary, Allegheny City, who was Mr. Curtin's pastor while he was Governor in Harrisburg. Then preparations were made to' convey the remains to their last resting place. The procession, as it moved to the cem etery; was formed as follows: Military escort, special Grand , Army escort of honor, clergy in carriages, honorary pall bearers in carriages, the hearse with car riers . on each side, the family and friends, representatives of the Pennsyl vania Reserve association, representa tives of the military order, Loyal Legion, representatives of the Union league of Philadelphia, general officers of the Na tional Guard of Pennsylvania, the Gov ernor's staff and the staffs of general officers of the National Guard, according to rank, representatives of the Cen tre county Veteran association, the several bar associations . of Centre and adjoining counties, battalion of State college cadets, President - and members of the town council of 'the . borough of Belief onte; citizens generally. Burgess W.E. Gray in charge. As the procession moved through the heavily black curtained ttreets of the town, the sidewalks were packed with a solid mass of sorrowful-faced humanity. It was but a fifteen minutes' drive from the Curtin residence to the Union ceme tery, where the remains were interred. -At the tomb services were conducted by Gregg Pest, No. 5, of which Governor Curtin had been an honorary member ever Bince its organization.

In regard to the third State ticket put up by the Shepard Democracy, John Boyd Thatcher, at the Democratic State headquarters, to-day. made this afflcial statement; ' 'We have to -deal with all sorts of men, with all sorts of theories in a political campaign. It is a healthy and not unhealthy sign to see activity and earnestness everywhere in the party. Differences of opinion are natural, both with regard to candidates and issues. I tnink, however, as the dav these gentlemen who oppose Mr. Hill be cause he is Mr. Hill, will support him because he is the leader nf tho HnVof chosen by the representative th party. This a life and HmO. struggle for the Democratic party. If we lose this election we cannot hope to succeed in carrying the Legislature for twenty years to come. If there is no hope of carryimr the Leclslp.hiw w party organisation will go to pieces. Mr. Hill Is, at best, only a passing figure in pontics, like every other public man. The party goes on .for ever. Candidates come and go; the party is greater than the man.
