Grain dealers in Baltimore have been somewhat surprised of late by the demand for corn for shipment to Mexico. This week one house was approached with an offer for 250,000 bushels, which it was | obliged to decline, as it did not have that amount on hand. It {s said that corn ts se.ling in the two states mentioned below nt $2.50 a bushel in Mexican silver, or $1.25 1n good money, and though the freight rates are very high, yet the corn can be landed there at a handsome profit. Some time ago the Mexican government removed its import duties on corn for the two states of Vera Cruz and Tamaulipas, for the reason that a scarcity of that grain in those sections threatened a famine. The previous duty was one cent per kilo (Mex- ican money). The permission to import corn | free of duty is to continue only until Oc- tober 1 next. ‘As a result of the short crop in Mexico and th: removal of the duty, there has been a heavy movement of corn from this country to the two Mexican states just mentioned. One steamship company has already carried 700,000 bushels, and it was estimated by a patty conversant with the business that in the two months of August and September 1.500.000 bushels will have been shipped. An idea of the increase in the movement can be gained from_a com- parison witn the shipment to Mexico dur- ing the fiscal year ending’ June 30, 18! which aggregated 1,677,653 bushels for the entire country. or but slightly more than the above estimate of two months’ skip- ment to two provinces. The total sh ments for the year ending June 30, 185, were but 179,611 bushels. Thé corn has been shipped principally from gulf ports, and the greater portion of shipments from New York and Baltimore. The reason why the grain has gone via | Mobile, instead of New Orleans or Galves- | ton, is chiefly that the railroads into Mobile have been giving lower rates on grain. The | port expenses are also considerably léss | than at New Orleans. The-present movement is, it is said. largely a speculative one, as much of the corn has been bought with the intention of holding it until after the duty has been re- stored; when it can be sold at advanced prices. > Marriage Licenses. ‘Marriage licenses were issued teday to | Bawin M.

OF EYEWITN —_—_—_——_ STORY What was at first reported to be a de- berate murder, jealousy being assigned as the motive for the killing, occurred a few minutes after 7 o'clock this morning lence of Mr. Geo. Suegmuller, the well-known manufac- of mathematical instruments, at 134 nd avenue southw Mrs. Har- riett Williams, colored, came to her death as the result of a bullet wound, the mis- sile being discharged from a pistol in the hand of Ida 8. Chinn, colored. ‘The Kill was witnessed by Alexander Byrd, also colored, and the circumstances gave rise to the rumor that the two women had quar- reled about Byrd and in a fit of § rago one had ended the life of the oth in the kitchen of the re: N. jous r. An investigation, however, soon demon- strated beypnd all question of doubt that the sad affair was an accident, pure and simple. It was learned that the parties mentioned were all employed as servant= in the household of Mr. Saegmuller. Mrs. Williams, the woman who was killed, with her husband, has been in Mr. Suegmuller’s service for twenty years, the husband now having charge of and residing on a farm in Virginia, the property of his employer. Both Byrd and Ida Chinn have been working at the house for some y s, and all were trusted and highly regarded. The trio of servants were the best of friends, and no trouble was known to ex- ist between them at any time.
