burning cane fodder left lying on the ground
after the cane had been stripped. By some
means her clothing became Ignited, and, failing
to put it out, she called to her husband, who
was plowing near by. Thinking it
was the fence she was directing his at
tention to, be left his work and started toward
her, when he discovered his wife running to
ward him wrapped in llames that were fast tak
ing ner life. Reaching her he began to tear her
garments off, much to his own peril, and as the
result showed, without doin ; any good to her,
as she had been so badly burned that death
came to relieve her sufferings efc 12 o'clock that
night. Mr. Wadsworth sustained burns of a
serious nature, and it is feared that he will lose
the use of both his hands.
Mrs. John Fagan, wife of a well-known attor
ney of Fensacola, died under sad circum
stances Thursday. On an excursion
for the benefit of the Womans
Christian Temjierance Union on the day
previous she contracted a cold that resulted
in neuralgia of the head. Her suffering
was so great that toward noon she retired to
her room to lie down. She told a servaut girl
to bring her a small bottle of chloroform which
was In the house, aad when it was brought ap
plied a small quautity to a handkerchief which
she placed on ner forehead and then lay down.
Some time afterward a member of tho family
entered the room aud a>ked Mrs Lagan how
she felt. She replied that sho felt better, and
thereupon she was left aloDe to sleep. She was
not disturbed until Mr. F.agau came home to
dinner about 2 o'clock iu the afternoon. He
asked for Mrs. Kagan and when told thAt she
was in her room suffering with neuralgia he
went to her. When he entered tho darkened
room he saw his wife lying still on tne t*-d. Ho
called her but reoeived no answer Kaisiug tho
curtain of a window to let in light he noticed
that sho was lying in an unnatural
position and also detected tho fumes
of chloroform in the room. Again
he tried to arouse her, and failing, telephoned
for Dr. W. H. Ross, the family physician.
When Dr. Ross arrived he fouud her uucon
scious and immediately telephoned to Dr. Keu
shavv to come with a galvanic battery. When
Dr. Kensbaw arrived with the battery it was
applied without effect. From the rigidity of
the limbs the physic la us are satisfied that she
had been dead for at least half an hour before
her husband's arrival Later It was discovered
that Mrs. Eagan's death was the result of an
unfortunate accident. After she had placed
the handkerchief on her forehead, slightly
saturated with chioioform, and had been loft
alcn*) to rest, she lay down on the bed with the j
bottle grasped in one hand. After the chloro
form had eased the pain and soothed her to
sleep, by some means the cork in the bottle
drooped out and the entire contents wore

away.

New York, March 18.—The bulls on stocks
showed more courage to-day than they have
for some time past. At the opening they took
hold of American Suear and Northern Pacific
preferred, and in the first ten minute* of busi
ness establish*.l au advance in these stocks of
1®194 per cent. American Sugar was pur
chased freely by a leading operator connected
with the pool, while a change for the better in
Northern Pacific affairs was signalized by pur
chases of round amounts of preferred stock for
both short and long account. The upward ten
dency of the market was checked, however, by
reports of exports of about 81,000,000 gold
by Tuesday’s European steamers,
The reaction rauged from 44
to % per cent., but weakness was
not of long duration. Erie was specially weak,
declining to 1944 for common and to 9544 for
consolidated cds. Then the publication of a
more favorable bank statement and the denial
of the gold shiument rumors improved matters.
In the riie which followed Industrials were the
most conspicuous, American Sugar selling up
to 103, Distilling and Cattle Feeding to 3544;

New York, March 19.—The ftim's cotton re
view says: ‘Trading was oonfined to quite
moderate limits and fluctuations were not
great. Bears were surprised at the bullish Liv
erpool news to-day, and so for that matter
were the bulls. This, together with the h cent
efflux of cotton to the continent , caused a slight
advance at first; but it was a local market and
a good many speculators here preferred to set
tie up their trades on either side of the account
on Saturday for fear what may possibly
take place on Bundaj, otherwise
there was enough selling to give the
market a setback and quotations were slightly
below the final figures of yesterday. The
kernel of the whole situation is the English
strike, and nothing new was known in regard
to the matter Prices rose 3to 4 points, but
lost this and closed quiet and 1 to 2 points lower,
with sales of 62,500 bales. Liverpool ad
