WAS KILLED BY CIGARETTES. young Verdes Mulkoy Utera!!/ Smoked Him-1 Ult to Death. Gazing OD the dead face" of bl? ?on, whose young life WM cut down because of tho excessive ute of cigarettes, D. A. Mulkey. of the Mill? mill village, uttered a warning yesterday which should be heeded by every victim of tho weed. Verde? Mulkey. twenty-two years old, WM literally killed by nicotine. With tear? streaming down his chooks, the father told of tho harm that had been done-not to say ill of the dead, but to warn others against the habit whioh is pernicious mid .dangerous. Mother, sisters and the wife of young If ulkey, were there to boar painful evi dence of the poison that had crop, into tho blood. Mulkey had been smoking ever siuce he WM old onougb to roll a cigarette. As he advanced in years tho evil had h'm more completely in its grasp and try M he might, he could not resist. Ile WM never without that plnob of tobacco and UM opium scented paper. He WM osteemed In the village aud bia friends who had his welfare nt heart did what they could to persuade him to stop, but he WM powerless to resist. Ho simply smoked himself to death. Kverypart of his system WM permeated with the poison of the uicotine. , Re cently a small pimple appeared on his lip. Not much WM thought of it at tho time, and on a person not addioted to thu use of tobacco, it would have been qniokly oured, but the poison got in its vo<*k, spread to all parts of tho young man's body and left, a mans of sores, whioh oausea tho most intense agony. Death WM a glorious reliof for his suffer ing. Mulkey collapsed rapidly. His system could not stand tho strain, and through his veins thore ran tho blood that was heavy with nicotine. His mind WM tortured. "I hope this sad OMO will be a warning to other young men in this village and olsowhere," said Mr. Mulkey last night. "My boy had good Impulses, but he WM a fiend to tho cigarette and ho oould not save himself. No mortal man can know bow he suffered. That poison got into his blood and when that first pimple appeared on his lip it was tho beginning of the 'end. One can imagine what it meant after viewing the progress of tho disoMe. It is indeed a tragto example, but I only hope that it will save others." Mr. Mulkoy loft a wife, father, mother, sisters and brothers.

Sully, tho cotton operator, who has for fifteen months boen tho biggest figuro in tho cotton markets of tho world, and who has bullod cotton from 7 cents a pound to over 17, announced his inability to make good his engagements on tho New York Cotton Exchange to-day. Within a fow moments cotton foll noarly thir teeu dollars a balo from tho highest figures of tho day. SeenoB such as followed tho announce ment of tho failuro it has boon the privi lege of few brokors to witness before. Traders in tho street havo witnessed stock panics in previous years; coiners havo boon broken, and ninny crashes havo boon rocordod, but nono has boon accompanied by such frenzy and con fusion Whilo thore had boon no promonitlon of tho impoudiug crash, no morning of tho soMon had witnessed a moro do moralized market. lu IOSB than ton minutes aftor the opening half a cont had boon takon off the price of cotton. Prices wont up and down, 10, 20 and 30 points, within two and throe minutos. May opened nt 15 25 aud sold down to 14.75 in less than fifteen minutes, while duly, opeuing nt 15.22, wont down to 14.80. Toward the end of tho first half hour early sellers started to cover and thore was a rapid advanco. Thore was nothing in the nows to account for tho excitement, lt soomod morely a renewal of bear operations and tho catching of further stop orders. Shortly aftor the afternoon session, however, t here was a lull in the pit and at about Ovo minutos aftor 2 o'olock tho announoment of tho suspension was made. For a fow seconds t here was an omi nous quiet over tho door as though tho nows had stunned all within hearing of tho announcement. Then, with one im pulso, a mighty shout wont up from the bears; they who had boon fightiug Mr. Sully and tho bull clique for months. Hats were thrown into tho air to fall whore they would, a momont later to bo trampled upon by tho stampede for tho pit. Coats were torn by frantic brokers in their mad offerts to unload their hold ings, and chairs and camp stools were dashed into tho pit to emphasize some wild broker's offer to soil. Mossongors soon were rushing in and out of tho building with orders to sell or buy: tele phone booths woro besieged and tele graph oflices woro floodod with dis patches. Outside tho Cotton Exchaugo appear ance gavo little indication of the pande monium within until tho mossongors bo gan to rush between tho Exchange and tho brokers' offices. Soou tho news roached the Stock, Produce and Coffee Exchanges, and traders on these mnrkots hasleneil to the set ne of tho panic. Crowds assailed the entrance to tho visitors' gallery, but adoublo guard was placed at tho doors and admittanco was refused to all but thoso accompanied by members. It is estimated that sornothing liko three-quarters of a million bales of cot ton woro traded in during the twenty minutes of tho panic that followed tho announcement, and that of this upwards of half a million halos roproBontod "forced liquidation," or tho soiling out of mon whose margins havo boon nearly or quito wiped out. As tho market slumped 250 points dur ing this period the loss falling on this olement amounted to something ovor a million dollars. SU M. Y'S COTTON CARVER, Daniol .1.
