Grren Si Co.'s report on cotton futures says:
“It has been an exciting day, with liiieral trad
ing on exjiected firm developments. During the
early portion of the session matters were lit e
slow but suddenly ordeis came in with g.
freedom to the extent of 50,000 hales, and on
this demand prices showed a rapid upward
movement and made a gain of 13 point: , (-spe
cially on old crop moat iis. The fresh call was
mysterious to most of t he trade, but indications
favored the belief that it came from New Or
leans to a large extent. A reaction from highest
figures took place, but the close found a firm
tone and values still about 10 points above last
evening.”

The Meaning 1 of a MesaaV' that Went
Over the Wire One frig.-ht.
From the New York Sun.
Cheyenne, Wt., April 17.—“Did'you
ever hear of anybody committing suicide by
wire Tasked a telegraph operator here last
night of a party of men, young and old,
who hail experience at the keys. One inan
knew of a follow who hanged himself with
a clothes-line wire, and several others had
hoard of canes where men had strangled
themselves on telegraph poles and cross
trees, but these wore not what the first
speaker meant.
“You don’t catch the ixilnt,” he con
tinued. “When the overland wire was
newer than it is now, a go<l many funny
things used to happen, and some of them
were not so funny either. The country was
full of romances and tradgios and
we used to have them all to
ourselves. One night in the winter of
l.'SiU-TO I was on duty here alone. It was a
howling night, intensely dark and stormy.
Not much was going on, and as I had been
reading a hair lifting story, and was a little
nervous anyway ou account of the numer
ous crimes that had beer, committed in
tho neighbor hood, I liegaii’Ho fidget. The
sounder was still, and so, just to make a
little noise, I went out and poked up the
tire. Pretty soon a press dispatch started,
and w hile that, was going through I felt
more at ease. The rattle of the instrument,
and the oeeasonal conversation between the
two men who were sending and receiving
mode some company tor me. When this
stopped, the howling of the wind seemed
louder than ever. I lighted mv pine and
tiegan to walk arouud. Then I picked up
my book and tried to read, but a little later
I resumed my walk. Finally, at alout 2
o’clock iu the morning, 1 settled back in my
chaiifl with a feeling of droVrefness, and hail
lostrtyrelf for a minute or two, perhaps,
wbMi tIW sounder clicked off, sharp and
‘MriCHxl-by. boys! Good-bye!’
“I Will'd forward, and as I did so some-
the line broke in with a ribald
remark. Thou others took it up, and pretty
soon tinere was a general questioning and
erotw-questioning going on for the purpose
of, |tlnamg out who had sent the message. I
telegraphed to ten or twelve of tho boys
that I had not done so, and others had made
their denials, so that after a little things be
came quiet again. 1 sat thinking for a few
minutes and was loading my tnpe for an
other smoke, feeling somewhat lietter than I
had done nt first, when there came uot quite
as rapidly as before, but still with perfect
distinctness, the words:
“ ‘Good-by, laiys, J. -oy.’
“Laramie broke in with:
“ 'Well, good-by. What’s the matter
with you f and several others whom I
couldn’t locate got on the wires with,
‘ground that wire,’ ‘cheese it,’ ‘let me
sleep, ’‘who’s calling T ‘wliat do you say'f
‘let up, will you T and other remarks. One
or two of the boys tried to locate tlie opera
tor by calling up the stations along tlie road,
but the storm was having its effect on the
wires, and as some ot the offices were
closed nt night there wore a good many that
could not be raised. Al ter that I heard
nothing more, and I made up my mind that
some smart Aleck was having a little fun
with us.
“In the morning the man who -was to re
lieve me was a little late, and while I was
waiting for him to coine in I heard the fol
lowing press message going through ;
“ ’Felton’s Siding, Wyo., 5.
When the day this station came
on duty this morning he found Nicholas
Barron, the night operator, dead at his in
strument, with a revolver at his side. He
ha<l com mi tod suicide some time during the
night. He is thought to have had relatives
in the East.’
“ ‘That was the duck who was telegraph
ing last night,’ somebody said over the
wires as soon as the disimtch went through,
ar.d so he was. He hnu shot himself twice,
and it is evident that he telegraphed his
farewells before each shot, closing his kej 1 at
once and making no resjionse to the clatter
widen his mysterious manages created. He
was a pretty good fellow, but 1 heard that;
he got lonesome out there. It’s a jiooc wuy
to commit suicide, though.”
