In cotton it was an irregular mar

pa.riic-u;;;vy by the Wall street i bear,
a favorable interpretation of the sum
mary of the 'government weekly report
and by a rapidly increasing stock here,
and then again strengthened by bull
report and some aggressive buying of
January by several New Orleans ope
rators here. Moreover, there was a
good deal of board room covering at
one time, and commission, houses exe
cuted a good many buying orders for
the general public. The market here
and in New Orleans, if not in Liver
pool, has, latterly, however, ' become
congested with long, cotton and this
accounts as much as anything for the
wavering of prices both at home and
abroad.

A small fire occurred last night in
the rear of Otey's barber shop in the
Yarborough Hotel building and but for
the fact that some one yelled water
and. caused a violation of Chief Man-r
fOim s orders, the loss, which is esti
mated at about $100, would not have
exceeded $10.
The fire was cUeovered shortly after
11 o'clock by Policeman Alderson on
his rounds. He tried the door to tha
place as usual and a3 he did so thought'
lhat he heard a noise inside and de
tected the odor of smoke. Instead of
turning on the alarm then he went into
the Yarborough and told the clerk. A
messenger was sent to the fire station
across the street, but returned saying
he could not get no response to his
calls. The barber shop was revisited,
the front glass was found to be grow
nig warm. Then Mr. E1. EA Brltton
turned in the alarm from 312, corner
Salisbury and Martin streets.
A crowd was quiclSy gathering in
front of the barber shop. The commo
tion in the street and the clatter of
the hose wagons as they arrived roused
.( some of the hotel guests sleeping above
j tho place. A man in pajamas stuck
j is head from the third story window
land a moment later Assistant Chief
J Lumsden smashed with his axe a glass
iin order to open the barber shop door.
A volume of smoke darted up and the
first whiff sent the pajama man dash
ing down the hotel corridor rousing
those sleeping 'on the third floor. On
the second floor a "bell boy woke the
guests or told them what the trouble
was. Most of them dressed and came
quietly down, bringing fheir dress suit
cases or other baggage. One man, how
ever, clad in his night shirt, scurried
down the hall bearing his trunk on his
shoulder.
Chief J. W. Mangum of the fire de
partment gave strict orders not to turn
on the water until he ordered it. Then
the chief and Assistant Chief Lums
den started in to discover the fire.
Entrance by the front door
I possible on account of the smoke, so
j they went by different routes through
j the Yarborough cellar and met at the
; fire. They found that a cupboard was
burningrin the rear of the barber shop
and a minute later would have put out
the flames with the fire extinguisher,
when suddenly the water shot from
the hose at the front door and flooded
the floor. Some unltnoyrn . person, not
a fireman, had given -the order and the
men at the nozle thought . the com
mand come f ron&tKT "chief. The main
damage resulted Afrom the water. A
The- origin of yhe fire is a mystery,
unless the rat tneory is accepted. It
was confined to a small stand which
contained soap and other, shaving
paraphernalia. The gas had not been
lit in the back room last night and
the litvle oil stove was fully six feet
from the fire. The explanation is that
rats cabled matches into the drawer
of the stand.
But for the fact that water was
turned on Chief Mangum does not
think the loss would have been $10.
As it is the damage is not placed at
more than $100. Some plastering fell,
though, and -some of the wall paper
was ruined. , Henry Otey had $600 in
surance in the Hartford Company, of
which Mr. W. W. Smith is agent.

Death of One of Raleigh's Oldest

Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, widow of
the late Albert Johnson, died yester
day evening at 8 o'clock at her home,
329 Hillsboro street. She was in her
89th year, one of the oldest citizens
of Raleigh.
The last illness of Mrs. Johnson
lasted only a wreek. A slight scratch
on the Viand led, on account of her
feeble condition, to blood poison and
produced her death.
Mrs. Johnson was, before her mar

The Eternal City" Tonight -
"The Eternal City," Hall Caine's
dramatization of his widely read novel
of the same name, with the complete
musical setting written expressly for it
by Mascagnl, composer of "Cavalleria
Rusticana." When it comes to the
Academy of Music Thursday, Septem
ber 28, with Jane Kennark in the lead
ing role, supported by W. El Bonney,
Emmett C. King, R. V. Ranous and
Jefferson Lloyd, will give local play
goers an opportunity to see an eveq
stronger and more interesting play than
the author's earlier drama, "The Chris
tian," the success of which has been
greater than that of any other play
for a decade. The massive scenic pro
duction is the same which attracted
unusual attention at the "Victoria the
atre, New York, where "The Eeternal
City" was presented for five consecu
tive months, and the cast even excels
that seen in the metropolis. The man
agement in obtaining Miss Kennark
lor the role of the fascinating Donna
Rome Volonna have secured one of th-3
