Raleigh Press-Visitor: Hugh Black, a Moore county moonshiner, was lying flat of his back on a stretcher this evening at the union depot. He was there in charge of his brother, who took him home on the Seaboard Air Line train. When Hugh Black came to Raleigh sev eral weeks ago to stand trial for, moon shining his body was intact, but today he returns with a broken thigh. Hugh suffered remorse of conscience, and the probability of receiving a sentence of im prisonment weighed heavily on his mind. Hugh thought laboriously over the matter the second day of his arrival here and that night as he fell asleep he dreamed that the revenue raiders were after him. Indeed, the revenuites appeared to him as numeorus as the stars, and under such conditions Hugh lreamed it was best to. run. Out of a second story window on Hargett street the much distressed moonshiner plunged, not in his dream, but in reality. And since that eventful night, ! when Black made his wild dash for lib erty through midair encased in a win dow sash, he has been doctoring a broken thigh. I " : : " '; - ;' ' Pan-Anglicanism and Orthodoxy While there are no prospects of any re- union between tne uoman cainuiiu Church and what is known as the cnurcn of England, all hopes in that direction having been -dashed , to the ground by the recent pronouncement of-the Pope on the validity of Anglican orders, yet the negotiations with the view to an under , "standing between the Church of England and the Orthodox Church of" Russia are proceeding apace. The Archbishop of York has been visiting the ecclesiastical au thorities in the dominions of the Czar, being received by them with great hos pitality and distinction; and now the Or thodox Church has delegated the Metro politan Archbishop of Finland not only to represent it at the Jubilee ceremonies TjnHrt nuirt wppk hut also to attend the Pan-Anglican Synod, which is to be in the early part of next month under the presidency of the Archbishop of Canter bury at his palace' at : Lambeth.

' The New York Stock Market, ' ' i New York, June 19. Today's stock mar ket again reflected the constant watch fulness of the large professional traders for a reaction," the day's profit-taking being on a very large scale. The net changes are very small, owing to the early buying movement, which carried the prices of most stocks quite sharply above last night's close. But the reaction brought about by the realizing movement and by sympathy with the heaviness in Sugar left most shares below last night s close. The trading was dull and showed a very marked diminution in the range of activity. The volume of the total deal ings was small, and one-third of the whole is credited to Sugar. . Much of the selling of this stock was attributed to Washington orders, supposed to be based on information of the Sugar schedule of the tariff bill being m danger m the .con ference stage. Chicago Gas showed a sharp fractional decline: from the best price, adding to the heavy tone of ; the market. Northern Pacific preferred and Union Pacific were the most largely dealt in of the railroad shares and each sagged 1 point at the lowest with only a feeble rally. The selling of these stocks was attributed to foreign orders to real ize, the recent foreign buying having been quite heavy. The Goulds were a weak spot in -the market and showed a wide reces sion, .but Western Union rallied to above last night's close. On the other hand, Lake Erie and Western, preferred and Minnesota Iron registered an advance of 2 points each and Edison Electric, of Brooklyn, 1. Sugar's extreme decline was 1 and the net loss 1. The closing was firm, and closing prices as a rule were above the lowest, but net losses were general throughout the list. The feature of the week has been the firm resistance of the market to the ef forts at reaction of professional operators. On Tuesday and Wednesday there was continued heavy selling to realize, some of the largest operators on the floor be ing credited with a complete turn in their holdings. These traders based their action on the theory that reaction was overdue in the market because the a-dvance had been so steady and so long continued, for a month practically without a break. The manipulators for a decline had no ground in the general condition to offer as an argument, the general condition continu ing much as it has been ever since the advance begun. Their effort to break the market proved a signal failure, and all joined the long side on Thursday. The change in the general level of the market is indicated by the comparison of prices of some active shares at the close ion Sat urday, May 22nd, and today. Advances are: New Jersey Central 13, Sugar 12 (dividend on), Consolidated Gas, Chicago Gas and Burlington a fraction over 7 points, Rock Island and Tennessee Coal over 6 points ; Northwestern, Delaware and Hudson, Missouri Pacific and West ern 5 points or over, and St. Paul, Louis ville, Leather preferred and Northern Pa cific preferred over 4 - points each. The number of stocks showing lesser gains increases, but with a few exceptions all prices -are higher. Railroad earnings show improvements in that time, and the finances of the companies Immediately concerned are in better condition; but the higher prices quoted do not by any means represent . the immediate returns in money hoped for from shareholders in the companies. They must be accepted rather as the barometer of expected and hoped for improvement in the business of the country at large. It is certain that the business of the country at large has not increased in the last month in the same ratio as the prices of stocks. But the firm resistance in the prices of stocks to reaction and the readiness of buyers to take them at the existing level is a meas ure of the confidence felt that business is about to improve. in proportion. Proba bly the unimpeded progress of the tariff bill on the final stage of its disposal has been the most encouraging to Wall street of any one factor. The Hawaiian annexation treaty caused a momentary tremor to pass along the pocket nerve through the street, but the complacent attitude assumed towards the matter by the powers of the world has quieted apprehension as to Japan's pro test. The latter part of the week shows some growth of apprehension over the new impetus given to the gold movement and the hardening -of exchange, said to be due the drawing of exchange for tour ists' account and for July settlements of dividends and interest payments on se curities held abroad. But Wall street has taken note of the fact that the gold re serve in the treasury has remained almost stationary at a little above (and for two days a. little below) $144,000,D00 ever since May 22nd. The amount of specie held by, the New York, banks has increased since the date named from $88,295,500 to $90,050, 200 held today. . s ' " ; r The gold shipped from the country by. crrwi ,i p-rTvnrtine- houses since the same date amounts to $5,237,794. The shipments today amounting to $350, ouo ana tnose an nounced for next Tuesday amounting to. $1,350,000 have not ? yet appeared m the treasury statement Not all of this gold win twx tn.ken. from the treasury, but the withdrawals will probably be sufficient to bring the treasury reserve to tne lowest nnint it has reached in the present gold movement. The increase of $782,400 in spe cie in New York banks this weeK in view of the fact that $600,000 in gold shipped on Thursday was all taken from tne oanKs, is worthy of note. Dealings in government-securities were marked by general firmness,, with the new 4's conspicuous for a rise to 125. the highest price yet attained for this issue. The improvements in other grades were less noteworthy, with the trading rather light. The total sales of stocks today were 89,135 ; chares; Cotton Fntar. r ' ? (Special tq The -Messenger.) f ; New .York, June 19. The prominent fea ture In the cotton market, this week and that which has, overshadowed ali i other influences "nasi been1; the" great'; improve ment In spot, business at Liverpool. The sales of cotton "there have- jumped, with out warning, from very small to extreme ly large proportions. This and the con sequent strength of the near months here has bolstered up the , entire market and resulted in an advance of 20 points since last Saturday. The leading bears here appear to have lost confidence in . their convictions, for they have been the prin cipal buyers during the last two days. Liverpool cabled us an advance of l-64d this morning, which was hardly regarded as adequate, and our ' market - opened slightly lower. The Chronicle's report on the progress of the new crop' during the opening caused prices to droop, but the covering fever was still strong among the shorts, and the market became very firm again and scored a fair advance. August opened at 7.29, declined to 7.27, advanced to 7.36 and closed at 7.34 to 7.35," with the tone of the market very steady. That there has been an undeniable and radical change in sentiment generally there Is no doubt. - The belief that we are about to pass from a period of business depression to one of active and merited prosperity has become general. The effect of this cheerful feeling has been very marked upon stocks and has had not a little to do With the advance in cotton this week. The strength of the statistical position is again talked about on all sides, and the opinion is frequently expressed that with good business, present and in prospect the manufacturers will not face the vicissi tudes of the growing crop, but will be come competitors for the small stocks of cotton now on hand. . Although the bulls are most confident, it must not be for gotten that the course of the market, has entirely overlooked the great Improve ment in crop prospects that has occurred. Public and Rrivate accounts alike agree that the crop is now in . splendid condi tion. It must also be remembered that a rise in price may check the spot demand at any time. There are no signs of spec ulative revival as yet and we are inclined to think that if the crop continues, to im prove no advance of consequence can be long sustained. Sales of summer months, however, are undoubtedly extremely dan gerous: : : RIORDAN &. CO. (By Associated Press.) ' New York, June 19. The cotton market opened fairly steady. The first call show ed unchanged prices to a decline of 1 point. There was a further decline of 2 to 4 points, after which the market made a sharp rally of 6 to 9 points. The rise was chiefly on the months of July, August and September. The early weakness was the result of pounding by local bears, who took advantage of outside support. The strength later was due to covering by shorts in anticipation of the Liverpool holidays and on favorable reports from business centers at large and - notably from the dry goods trade and Fall River. The close was very steady at net un changed prices to an advance of 5 points. IThe Chicago Markets. - Chicago, June 19. Business was very dull on the board of trade and prices all suffered from the lack of interest in the trade. Wheat declined c; corn unchang ed for July, but c lower for September.

"Talk of cheating the hangman!" he yelled, with purpling emphasis, "but there are worse crimes than common suicide." "You mean that the murder of another is worse than the taking of one's own life?" said the liveried hearse driver, who served once as a juror. "Naw! I mean aggravated suicide Didn't you read of those two men in New York last week who tried to poison them selves with embalming fluid?
