FOR ELEVEN CENTS]
Minimum Demand of Association
for Cotton.
^ I
ESTIMATE OF THE CROP
Some Important Resolutions Agreed
Upon at Annual Conference of
. - A.U..;ila
Association neia in
North Carolina.
At Thursday night's session of the
Southern Cotton Association in con- J
vention at Ashville, a minimum price j
of 11 cents was established for the
incoming cotton crop. This action was
reached after a four hours' struggle
in the minimum price committee's
room during the afternoon and a
joint secret conference of the committee
and the general committee at
the night session.
It was a contest in which growers,
spinners, manufacturers and brokers
were involved, and one in which the
combined influence of all these elements
was brought into play, in and
out of the meetings which preceded
the work.
After the announcement of the estimate
of the crop yield of 1905 and
1906, the fight narrowed down to two
factions?one holding for 10 1-2 cents
and the other for 11 cents, notwithstanding
the fact that an outside element
clamored for 12 cents. Some of
the growers were inclined to the opinion
that the unexpectedly short yield
crop report would have a tendency
to push the minimum to 12 cents,
but it was known that these predictions
would not be fulfilled when the
orice committee emerged ?rom its
caucus at 6:45.
"We have labored like a mountain
and brought forth a mouse," said one
of the committeemen. "The conservatives
win."
The summary of the cotton crop of
1905-06, as reported by the statistical
committee of the Southern Cotton
Growers' Association, is as follows:
Production, 9,588,133 bales; percentage
of condition as compared with
last year 73.3, and compared with the
government's estimate of 72.1. The
yield is regarded as exceedingly small
as from ten to ten and a> half million
bales were expected.
w After the minimum price committee
made its report, the association
/ proceeded to take up routine -business.
It developed during the course of the
evening that there will be no revision
cf the constitution of the association,
by reason of the fact that due notice
had not been given.
President Jordan appointed Hickey*
of Texas, Maxwell of Louisiana,
Brown of North Carolina, Love of Arkansas
and Erwln of Tennessee to
serve on the finance committee. The
* - association before adjourning for the
day decided to accept the invitation
of the citizens of Waynesville to visit
that city Saturday.

ous day since the outbreak. | {
Reports of physicians up to G !
o'clock p. ni. gave eleven new cases
and one death. All of the new cases 1
are traceable to the original foci or
infected district, but are soattered
about tne city.
The situation is now regarded ^is
serious, as a number of doubtful cases
hove also been discovered. The one
death was that of C. P. Winters of l
Harrison, Ohio, who was formerly a ^
soldier at Fort Barrancas, but who
secured his discharge a week since, (
and came to the city. ? '
Vicksburg Fumigates.
There were no new cases of yellow i
fever nor deaths in Vicksburg, Miss., t
Friday. From 10 a. m. until a late ^
hour in the afternoon almost every
business house in the city was closed, | 1
the day having been set apart for I c

New Infection at Natchez. i f
Two new fever eases in Natchez
show that secondary infection has
appeared. The patients are white
boys living in the same neighborhood *
as the origiaal infection, though three J
blocks apart. One of the boys was '
taken sick and instead of going home *
went to the emergency hospital. This
makes three cases under treatment.
Fever Situation in Mississippi. t
The Mississippi yellow fever sum- '
ma-ry up to Friday night was as follows:
Gulf port, five new C2ses, no ^
deaths; Mississippi City, no new

Increase at New Orleans. ]
There were forty-fcrur new cases
and four deaths in New Orleans Friday.
There is no accounting for the
jump in the record, except possibly
the fact that physicians have !
lately been reporting more positive j
cases and less suspicious cases. The

Thirty Employes Literally Torn to
Fragments in Catastrophe?Ten
Buildings Razed and Other
Property Damaged.
The Rand Powder Mills in the subirbs
of Fairchance, six miles sonrh
)f Uniontown, Pa., were entirely wip>d
out by an explosion at 9:05
j'elock Saturday morning.
Of the thirty-two men who went to
vcrk in the mill in the morning, nineeen
are known to be dead. Of these
hirteen have been identified. Nine
nen, including C. M. Rand, manager
>f the plant, were seriously injured.
The shock of the explosion was disinctly
felt in Ccnnellsville, 20 miles
iway, buildings being rocked on their
oundstions. At IJniontown hundreds
>f panes of glasses were broken. In
he town of Fairchance there is
scarcely a house that did not suffer
lamage. The sides were battered
is though axes had been used. Hayit
x-ks were tcppled over in the fields,
md live stock were stunned.
A passenger train on the Baltimore
md Ohio railroad, northbound, from
VIorgantown to Conneilsvilie, wlijch
vas passing the works when the first
ixpicsion occurred,was almost thrown
'rom the track by the explosion. Alt
;he windows were shattered, and the
passengers thrown into a panic. Had
.he train been a few seconds later it
.vou.ld have been blown up, as the
nills were in a few rods of the
:racks.
A street car on the West Pennsylvania
railroad had also 'passed just a
:ew seconds before the explosion and
vas far enough away to escape dam?e,
though it was derailed. There
were seven explosions in all.
Every one of the ten buildings was
:otally demolished. Not a vestige of
hem rp.main The debris that was
strewn over the 10 acres of ground
where the plant was located, took fire
soon after the explosion, and added
ts terrors to the disaster.
The dismembered parts of the dead
were burned in many instances. Identification
of many was made by parts
jf clothing alone. The first three explosions
were not as serious as the
ast four. Then the packing house,
pressing room and magazine blew up",
followed by two cars of dynamite
standing on a nearby railroad siding,
which were set off by the concussion
:rom the powder mill explosions.
'Identification Difficult.
When the bodies werfc recovered
the work of identification was very
iifflcult. Small pieces of bodies were
picked up all over the place. These
were not collected together, and many
sections of bodies were thrown back
into the debris, where they were
found.
The hole where the magazine exploded
in about 15 feet deep and 50
rards square.

Nine new cases and one death is

working in conjunction with the
itaie board of health made their retorts.

The one death was that of A.
Wolfburg, vice consul of Norway,
who died atter a 'brief illness. He
was taken ill five days since and
lid not call in a physician, the case
jeing located by inspectors. A postmortem
examination revealed thefaCt
hat he had died of yellow fever of the
most malignant type.
Citizens have been called upon to

Uncle Sam Takes a Hand.
The United States marine hospital
service has taken a hand in the
quarantine situation and according to
p. letter received in Atlanta Monday
by the Georgia state board of health,
his issued sweeping instructions preventing
passengers from points infected
with yellow fever, from stopping
anywheie in the territory east
and south of a line drawn from
Washington, D. C., through Charlottesville,
Danville, Charlotte, Spartanburg,
Atlanta, Anniston, the Tennessee
river, Vincennes, Ind., St.
Louis and thence to the Arkansas
state line.
The Georgia state board of health
is requested to have its inspectors
notify all passengers Vom yellow fevov
no'ntc r\f this nnarantine reeula
tion. Notice is also given that government
inspectors have been appointed
to enforce this rule, and that
penalties may be incurred for its
violation.
The territory indicated as south of
the line in question is all regarded
as "infectible" territory, and for that
reason the marine hospital service
proposes to prohibit persons who
have been exposed to yellow
fever from entering this section
until the point where such infection
exists is free of the disease.
Good Report for New Orleans,
The report of no deaths in New
Orleans Monday, the first time since
the announcement of the presence
of the fever on July 21, when contrasted
with the record of 1878, presents
quite a coincidence, because
September 11, 1878, was the record
day for deaths during that epidemic,
90 being recorded. Algiers reports
seven of the new cases. Of the netf
foci, only two are above Canal street
Four are in Algiers.
Dr. White has given out the component
parts of the new culcicide,
which will be used hereafter in fumiagtion,
the discovery of which was
announced Saturday. It is composed
of equal parts of crystal carbolic
acid, and gum camphor, and three
ounces will be sufficient to thoroughly
fumigate 1,000 cubic feet of
snace. He advises asalnst its use
by citizens generally on account of
dinger in handling it, and is having
his forces thoroughly educated in its
use before they will be entrusted
vvich it.
The most interesting feature of the
country news was the report from
the health officer of St. John parish,
of the existence of about twenty-fivo
cases at Lions, a lumber town in
that parish, and his statement that
the patients were not being properly
cared for, and that they had been
concealing the illness. He has taken
charge of things there, and reported
three new cases.

DEATH FOR A DOZEN.- I
Crowded Car on Elevated Road in

Demolished on Pavement.
Twelve jversons were killed and
more than forty injured when the

vated train jumped the track and
fell from the structure to the street -J|
at the junction of Sixth and
Ninth avenue in New York city early
Monday morning.
The car, the seats, aisles and platforms
of which were packed with
people, was turned bottom side up,
its rt>of torn off and it was stood Jl
on end in the street.
The heavy truck of another car ? vj
fell upon it, crushing some of tho
passengers.
The cause of the accident and the
immediate responsibility remain to
be settled. . The motorman of the
wrecked train is a fugitive, while a
switchman, conductor and four guards
are under arrest. The switchman is
charge*d with manslaughter and the
trainmen are held as witnesses.
Corner Scholer, who has undertaken
the work of fixing the blame for
a" n that
LUC W1CVJY, ttuuvuLiv-tj IUUI,
switchman's bond has been placed
at $5,000, and those of the witnesses
at $100 each.
Whatever may have caused the #|S
mistake, the accident, the worst in
the history of the overhead railroads
in New York, came when a southbound
train ion the Ninth avenue . J; c||
line was switched off to the Sixth
avenue line at the Fifty-third street
junction, the motorman expecting a *
clear track on the direct
line of Ninth avenue, or disregarding .-yM
the warning signal that the switch 'II
was open, rushed his train along at ;r$g|
a high rate of speed. '
The first car swung around the '-'la
right angle curve, holding to the
rails because of the weight of the
train behind. Then the strain became
too great. The couplings broke, the
second car was whirled about almost
end fdr en<^, and to the horror of
those who looked on from below
pitched into the street.
The first indication people on the ;;|S
sidewalk had of the accident was .'-IS
a loud rumbling along the overhead . /j&z
structure. Looking up they saw a
shower of sparks, then followed splin*
ters and the sound of splitting tim- \
bers.
Suddenly the outer guard rail of 4M
the railroad structure gave way, a ^
score of bodies were hurled through - J||
space, and with a deafening crash pjM
the car fell to the street. For an
instant it stood on end, then theJ
sides gave way as if they were made
of pasteboard, belching out a mass
of humanity.
Those passengers who had not
jumped from platforms and windows
before the plunge came, were thrown . ;|1?
into a mass at the forward end of
the car. As the injured men and women
were struggling to free themselve^,
the heavy front trucks of the >J|j
third car on the train fell almost in
their midst as the car itself jumped
partly off the elevated structure, and . .<3
was wedged against a building at *
the southeast corner of Ninth avenue
and Fifty-third street.
Huge crowds were soon on the ^
scene, and the first work of the has- .
tily summoned police reserves was
directed to clearing a way for the
effective rescue of the passengers
pinned down by the wreckage. Al1
most every ambulance in Manhattan
| was summoned, and the injured and
dead were hurried away with all >%
| speed.
Three alarms of fire brought many
engines to the scene. A slight fire,
caused by burning insulation, was
quickly extinguished, and the firemen
set to work chopping out the dead |1
and injured.
The task was not an easy one, for
the heavy car, in falling, had almost
completely buried pedestrians in it3
wreckage. At least one was killed
outright in this way, while Policeman
Henry Aitkens, who was standing
directly under the elevated structure,
is among those most seriously
injured.
