% i\ ¢ MUST GO TO THE STATE. A Timely and Important Decision of tho Attorney General TIED TO THE SUPREME COURT. More Lawyers Admitted to Practice— A Case Dismissed—Additional Paving-—-School Contribu- tions to the Fund. [PROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] Attorney General Leese has written a reply to aquery from Jefferson county. 1t appears, from the enquiry made, that an alien died in that county possessed of landed real estate, his heirs all being in Germany. The county judge wrote regarding the law in the casc and the question if the land of the alien es- ated to the state or if the foreign heirs could recover the land itself. Mr. Leese writes as follows: “‘Under section 2 chapter 65 of the session laws of Nebraska 1887, land owned by non-resident aliens at their death escheats to the state and the same must be appraised and the amount paid over to the lawful heirs of such alicus as provided in the chapter above cited. At the present time the obstacle in the way of such procecding is the want of funds for the payment of the appraised valuation of the lands. The legislature made no appropriation to meet such cases and it would scem that in cases like the one referred to. that the par- ties must wait until the next Jegislature convenes to make uvnmprintions to pay this class of claims.’ 8 SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS, 7 Court met pursuant to adjournment. The following gentlemen were admitted to practice; B. P. Waggener, of Ate ison; W. F. Gurley, of Omaha; J.T. Moriarty, of Omaha; John Q. Denton, of ; W. A. Saunders, of Omaha. Newman vs Edwards. Time to report extended thirty days. Death of defendant was suggested in the following causes and they were re- vived in name of administrator: Gue vs Jones, Noyce vs Jones, Gilbert vs Jones. Too following causes were continued: Roads va Estabrook, Gay vs Shower. The following causes were argued and submitted: State vs Huckins, Hotel As- sociation vs Walters, McManigal vs Seaton, Johnson vs Van Cleve, Lincoln vs Beckman, Schaller vs Omaha. The following attorneys were in at- tendance from Oma J. C. Cowin, George S. Smith, W. F. Gurley, How- ard B. Smith, H. D. Estabrook, D. D. Gregory, E. W. Simeral, H. J. Davis, A. C. Wakeley, G. Van Etten, M. P. O'Brien. THE CASE DISMISSED. Yesterday morning the criminal case against the Herald was dismissed by the prosecution after occupying the after- noon of the day before in largely hea ing the testimony of Dr. Dogge, which was a rehash of the same testimony that has rung in the ears of the district court for the past two years. One of the attorneys representing the prosecution stated that he was not in favor of con- tinuing the examination in the case largely because the statute of limitation had run against a large lot of the testi- mony that was prepared for submission. 1t looks as though limitation was the only means of ending the case,and a suit for damages is likely to be the next proceeding. ADDITIONAT PAVING. The city council, with commendable enterprise, took the question of paving for the coming season in consideration at the last session of the council and created the third, fourth and fifth districts. An ordinance was also intro- duced at the meeting for the purpose of voting $100,000 bonds for the paving of intersections in these districts. Yhe move of the conncil is in the direction that points to business for the summer, and their action in moving in the matter this early will make it possible toaccom- plish the greatest season’s work on record. Already the contract is let for paving the second district and he contractors are ready to push the work with two “or three hundred men the moment work can be steadily proceeded with. This distriet alone is nearly double the size of the first district paved last year, and if the three new districts created are also paved this year there will be at the close of the season na city in the west of the size of Lincoln that can compuro paved streets with it. In connection with the ordinance for bonds for paving, a special ordinance ‘was-introduced looking for the special tax on real estate abutting the street paving. The contract for the three new districts will be let early in the season. SCHOOL CONTRIBUTIONS, In answer to the call of the state superintendent, County Superintendent Frank D. McClusky yesterday prepared the following circular that will be sent to each school in the county: “To the readers and pupils of Lan- caster county: The state superintendent has re- tq‘mswd by circular that the schools of this state contribute to a fund for the reliof of teachers and school children who suffered and sustained injuries during the storm of January 12. In pursuance of such request I sug- gest thut the pupils and teachers of the schools of Lancaster county contribute to said fund in sums from one cent to one dime. ¢ Teachers are requested to send to me the amount of money subscribed by their respective schools and tho names of the contributers on list attached. CITY ITEMS, District Clerk E. R. Sizer had a box of Havana's open for customer’s yester- day. This was on account of a new ten- pound boy at his home and a continuous flow of congratulations was observed through the day. The county attorney yesterday was preparing papers for the proper collec- tion of a number of forfeited recogniz- ances that were declared at the last term of court. The parties will be re- quested to say-lor their confidence in a number of departed culprits. West Lincoln is to have a depot.

MANDAMUS PROCEEDINGS, Suit was flled in supreme court yes- terday, brought by the Fremont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley railroad against the state auditor, asking the dourt to compel the avditor to register the bonds voted by the village of “Wahoo in aid of the road and amounting to $3,406. It will be recalled that about one month ago, when the auditor was called upon to register these bonds, he refs on the grounds that the election at which they were voted was not legally called. The case will probably be argued to the court this present wee ———— WRECK AT OAKLAND. Another Costly Accident, But No One Injured. Another Wreck at Oakland. OskLAND, Neb., Jan, 81.——[Special Tele- gram to theé Bee. |—A very disastrous rail- road accident took place here this afternoon at 1 o'clock.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court Ren- ders a Decision Affecting Woman's Su Mavwox, Wis,, Jan. 31.—The women of Wisconsin were defeated in the supremo court to-day, the court holding, in an elabor- ate opinion, that the legislature of 1885 did not for a moment contemplate extending the same suffrage to females which males en- joyed, buton the other hand meant to re- strict female voting to school matters only, as specified in the law. The case was that of Olympia Brown Willis, of Racine, against A. L. Phillips and other inspectors of elec- tion of tho Second ward of Racine, who at the last spring election refused either to re- ceive the vote of Mrs. Willis for mayor and other municipal officials, or to permit her to swear it in, Mrs. Willis claimed such right under the laws of 1885 and immediately sued the inspectors for $5,000 damages. She won her suit in the Racine county circuit court, when the inspectors appealed to the supreme court, which to-day reversed the decision of the lower court. MURDERED HIS MOTHER.

Sr. Louts, Jun. 81.—The ice gorge which has formed on the Mississippi river in front of this city began at midnight last night and drifted down stream about three hundred yards when the immense weight was checked and remained intact until 10 this morning. At that time it became loosened and crashed down upon nearly $1,500,000 worth of property, which it was grindinginto ruins. Already several barges and steamers -the Tamm, Mattie Belle, and Hayes, have been sunk. ' The Hayes, a large excursion steamer, which is the property of the Anchor line, . She was valued at 0,000, Mattie Belle is owned by the Illinois river com- pany. The Tamm was & ferry boat. The wharf boat of the Alton & Grafton railroad company was swept away at 11 o'clock. Later the ice had stopped running and there isa little chance for thousands of dollars worth of |{‘mpeny still. About half past 10 o'clock to-night the lower end of the gorge gave way and since then the ice has been floattng out. Steamboat. men now say all the really dangerous part of the gorge is gone. —— A General Disintegration. Cnicago, Jun. 31.—The railroads of the Northwest are apparently in for a season of demoralized rates and freight wars. At a meeting of managers to-day the St. Paul road filed notice of withdrawal, but the chairman ruled that it was unnecessary as the organization was built upon the Burling- ton guarantee that the Burlington & North- ern would maintain rates, and that having been withdrawn the organization no Jonger existed. It was resolved to continue the as- sociation ten days longer and then hold an- other meeting to consider the situation. The Burlington & Northern has signalized its in- dependent position by a 10 per cent reduction on all clagses from New York to St. Paul and Minneapolis. R — $4,000 for a Wife.

How Title to the High S8chool Gronnd May be Perfected. Yesterday a Bee reporter met W, J. Con- nell and asked him what steps should be taken to correct the title of the city to the site now oceupied by the central high school. ““The title to it is all right, even though the deed of conveyance was not signed by the governor at the time of the conveyance, The text of the conveyunce is not what it might be, but it would be entirely satisfac- tory if the name of the governor weré afixed. AS'it is the city has held the property nimo- teen years, and thero 1s nobody to question it uniess the state, which, of course, will not ndertake to do so." & "Could the present governor sign the con- ance!" 'he act of the legislature required the governor to sign the. deed within a wiven time. That signing was not and cannot now be done. The oniy thing that now remains is to get a little nct passed by the next legis- lature setting forth that, in view of the fact that the governor had not signed the deed in question, authority to sign be given to-tho governor who may be in power at the pass- age of this enabling act.” PEDDLING REFUSE. Mayor Broatch Issues Free Pormits to Itinerant Peddlers. Said a councilman to a Bes reporter yos- terday: “I'll tell you one thing that ought to be stopped in the management of our city affairs, and that is Mayor Broatch issuing frec peddler permit to parties who bring suf- ficient influence upon him to that effect. I saw Officer Turnbull working up.this matter a few days ago. He agked several peddlers ‘who were loading their wagons if they had licenses to sell, and they showed m the permits they had received from the mayor.” “‘Did you see any of them?" *‘Yes, [did. Ihad some of them in my hand.” *‘What is the difference between a permit and a hicense 1" ‘*A permit costs nothing and enables a fel- low to sell without paying anything into the city treasury.” “Why are they issued “Friends go to sce the mayor and speak of the poverty of the applicants, and yet some of these own a wagon and team and some I know own houses f you were to offer these men a job at §2 a day they would’'nt accept it. Theyv’e now got too soft a thing.” L What do these men peddle 2" ‘‘They buy all the refuse they can at the commission houses, stuff that can’t be sold to retail dealers, and then they peddle it in the suburbs. They make money out of the busi- ness when legitimate peddlers lose money and pay #0 a year, $30 in advance for the privilege.” S S Robbed Towa's lnsane Asylum. Ixp1ANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 81.—On Saturday night the railway ticket office and freight room at Brownsburg, Hendricks county, was entered by thieves and robbed of @ quan- tity of goods. For more than & year trunks and boxes have been arriving at Brownsburg from Mount Pleasant, Ia., consigned to James Miller, in care of James Hudson. Miller is the step-son of Hudson, and for four years has been in the employ of the insane asylum at Mount Pleasant as stoward, and during these years Hudson has been receiving shipments from that places. The box opened by the burglars con. tained wearing apparel of a kind used in public institutions. On Monday Hudson came to Brownsburg and called for goods, but on hearing they had been exposed refused to take them. A telegram to Mount Pleasant elicited the reply that many goods were ing from the asylum. A thorough investiga- tion is in progr Pl T S, A Rhode Island Suffrage Amendment. ProvipExce, R.

Si1cAGO, Jan. 81.—A bold project to supply Chicago with unlimited quantitics of natural gas for fuel and illuminating purposes is being developed by a combination of Chicago and Philadelphia capitalists who will shortly incorporate a pipe line company. Oue of the projectors said to-day the pipe lines would be fed by wells near to or remote from Chicago, wherever they could find them. They have already located several within reasonable distance of this city. They will use for pipe lines seamless stecl tubing, the invention of one of the combination, which is said to be a marvelous success. e Will Not Be Prosecuted.

' A Glad Keunion, A correspbndont writes from Bronson, Michigan: A peculiar case of long-lost child and bereaved father has just come to a happy denouement here, and to- day’s express train west contained two: as happy people as are met in the ordi- nary course of life. The coupre con- sisted of a proud and happy father who was taking to his home & daughter whom he had not seen since she was a babe, over twenty-one years ago, and a blooming daughter was leaving the life of a domestic for one of indepen- dence. The father was William Wood, who weut into the army from New York, leaving a young wife und his baby daughter. Shortly after his d ure the wife was killed in a rail- road disaster, and the little girl was placed among strangers. At the close of the war Wood could gnd no trace of his child. At Iength he settled in Min- nesota and accumulated a fortune. A few weeks ago he revisited his old home in New York, whore he learned that the daughter, now known as Mary Rider, had written from Bronson, Mich., making inquiries regarding his whereabouts, He came to Bronson, and after a search found his child, whom he now takes to his western home.

Rosewater gidfl Mr. Shelton, repre- senting the Omalia, iuukwu & Northwestern railroad, yesterday afgernoon appeared before the county commissioders with the evident expectation of recoiviighn answer as to what they had resolved to reference to calling & special clection for,di purpose of receiving an expression from the taxpayers and voters of Douglas county in regard to voting 300,000 county bonds for thwiconstruction of the road. " The commissiondts were evidently in an unsettled state of ,mind regarding the proposition, and beat/sghund the bush in an cxpert and evasive fashion. The chairman, Mr. O'Keeffe, was completely undecided Commissioners Mount and Turner wantod further time to consult with County Attor- ney Simeral 8o as to “put him on record” in rogards to it, and Messrs. Anderson and Cor- rigan passed the greater part of their tine hobnobbing with their constituants in the There was, however, a) pparenty 8 ling among the commissioners that £300,- too much to vote to the roa O'Keeffo oxpressed a8 opinfon “that * $200,000 was and his enough and in fact all the people of the county would stand. Mr. O'Kecffe was made to understand that the promoters of the en- terprise would not be satisticd with a sum loss than that asked, and that besides it de- pended on the voters to say whether 300,000 should bo the figures. Rosewater con- cisely and intelligently set forth the benetits to bederived by Omaha from the enterprise, and agreed to concessions, the like of which he maintained had never before been made by railronds to whom the county had hereto- fore voted bonds. Two or three taxpayers and property- owners had their say, the principal speaker of this class being Mr. James Creighton. He said that he had favored the building of a road- similar to the one contemplated for years, but he considered the petition now be- fore the commissioners not binding enough in its details. Besides he would not pledge himself to supporting the appeal for &300,000 of bonds. The commissioners were again grantea until Thursday to make up their minds what they would do in the matter.

MONTE CRISTO, After an absence of several Omaha Mr. James O'Neil made his re-entre, last evening, on the stage of the Grand opera house, preseuting the picturesque drama which has given him both fame and fortune, “Monte Cristo,” The occasion was signalized by the attendance of oneof the largest and wost appreciative audiences that has been scen at this house since its opening, a fact that bore most gratifying testimony to the popularity of the act Mr. O'Neil has become s0 completely identi with the character of Monte Cristo, aud his thoroughly admirable impersonation of the role in its every exacting phase has been so fully com- mented upon that there is really no demand for anything to be said regarding it except & general commendation, It is a characterization as thoroughly individal- ized as any now known to the stage, and in its particular way, as entirely exceilent and admirable. There is no single feature of it that is not presented with a nice respect for natural requirements and a fine artistic finish which leaves nothing to be desir varying lights and shadows in the eve carcer of the hero are portrayed with a vivid force, and a scvere impressiveness that be- come'to the auditor an imperishable memory, It need hard hardly be said that the intelli- gent and discriminating audience of last night. was immediately won to favor, and fol- lowed the actor throughout with a deep intorest. He was frequently applauded with a vigor and earngstness not common with our audiences, and it may be said tl both before and behind the scenes there an uncommon mutualify of good feeling. Mr. O'Neil has a wellbalanced and effic- ient support, while the stage effects, particu- larly the more striking,8cenes, were given with a completeness and excellence never surpassed on any stagein Omaha. *Monte Cristo” is a very strong and interesting play, and as presented by M. 10'Neil merits the great success it has achieved. i A FALLEN WOM \N SUICIDES. e Addie Lamb Ends Her Life With Rough Rats. Scarcely three years pgo Addie Lamb left her home in Avoca, Ia){ and came to try her fortunes in the Gate Gity. Last night she was lying dead in her home at 320 north Thirteenth street, dressed in a neatly-fitting brown silk walking suit and awaiting the tardy charity of her friends to furnish a coftin or shroud. It is the old, old story. Unable to_withstand the temptations of a city life, she was led astray and more than once attempted to end a life that was dis- tasteful to her in this world, in order to try the uncertainties of another. Under the name of Maud she was well known to the frequenters of the third ward, and those who seem to know her best speak ‘most highly of her good qualitics, but say she had the mis- fortune of drowning her sorrows in the wine cup. About eight mouths ago, how- ever, on her return from a trip to Grand Island, she married a bartender named Charles Cummings and once more commenced life anew. But fortune did not smile on the union, and shortly afterwards the husband found himself out of situation. This preyed upon the mind of his wife and it is said that once or twice she went back to her former mode of living, only to be re- claimed by the husband, until at length on Saturday night, she took a ddse of “rough on rats," hs the readiest way to end . her tfouh: los. ‘It wad some time before she . admitted having taken poison, but when she did meds jcal aid was at ‘once summoned, and three physielans were in - attendance, | All - known antidotes and remedies wore applied but without avail, and she died shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Telegrams have been sent to her former home but without recciving ananswer, and old associntes are now subscribing a sufficient amount to procure a decent burial. Sho was about twenty-four years of age. prAn-td SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, Charles N, Fan & Co. presented a bill of $100 for wrading N street. Pat McMahon, the recently made police. man, filed his bond yesterday, and it was duly approved. The commty commissioners will furnish Mrs. McCracken with free transport to her friends in Jowa. , It was all she asked for. In the recent raid against dogs Ofcor Dixon got away with eleven and Oficer Red- mond with three, and they put in their bills last night for €7.00. The petitions of Tom Brennan and Charles ‘Trepuet for positions on the police force twere reported on favorably. Its not probable the city will sport iron cages inthe lockup for some time to come as the mayor wont issue any warrants. If the streets and alleys committee only number the houses they can have a reliable directory of South Omaha next year. They received a communication to that effect. “ouncilman Loescher wants the marshal to see if Howlsod’s office projects over the street line, and that the Stock Yards com- pany put down a sidewalk on L street be- tween Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh. Other residents had to furnish sidewalks and he thinks the company is rich enough to do the same, Councilman Burk called attention to the dangerols condition of the over-turned build- ing on L street, and the marshal will sco that it is either repaired or torn down. The hose cart, with 400 feet of hose is up to the axletrees in water, and in case of a firo after a sharp frost, the chances are it would be frozen in, and useless. There's another 400 feet of hose at the livery stable, and would no doubt be safe in case of fire, unless the stable was vurned down. The council will investigate. In future it will cost $10 per year to be an auctioneer, £25 per yoar to peddle on foot, #50 to sell from wagon, $40 to 80 for canv: 8hows, £5 for a side show, &3 to $25 for trav- eling shows, and 10 for shooting or bowling allies or billiard.tables. The clerk can issuo the license. The city officers are without fire, and the city treasury without fundsto getany. A solitary skuttle, filled with the snow, that won't melt, stands against an empty stove in the city clerk’s office, and offers a mute pro- test against ‘‘Man’s inhumanity to man.” The case of Jetter & Young against John Connolly was heard before Justice Levy yes- terday, and_judgment was given in favor of the plaintiffs for $200. The trial revealed some of the many tricks of the law.

Mud is king once more in South Omaha and dealers in rubber shoes are happy. There were ‘“citizens” present at the council meeting but they were not of the noisy, demonstrative kind, and there ‘were no calls for either police or guns. In fact the meeting throughout was in _marked contrast to the stormy session of Saturday night, and it seemed as if there would be no more attempts at bull dozing, and that law and order would in future be respected. Most of the time was occupied in the trans- action of routine business, the first departure being the swearing in of Councilman Whit- tlosey of the Fourth ward. Ordinances 3 ing to the licensing of shows and exhi- bitions, 40, to the licensing of peddlers, billi- ard halls, bowling allies, shooting galleries and gaming tables; 42, providing for the re- moval of_elective oftictals for cause, were then read for a second and third time and passed with but little _discussion. Council- men Loescher and Burk wished them re. ferred back, as the report wae only signed by one member of the committee, but on the explanation of Chairman Smith .were out voted, and the ordinances declared them carried. Councilman Smith suggested that rules be prepared for the government of the police force similar to those in use at Omaha. The reports of spocial committoes were then received as fol- lows: In relution to the charges preferred against Councilman Loescher, Chairman Swith reported: “We, your committee of the whole, to \whom was referred the mvestigat- ing of the charzes preferred against Council- man Loescher for receiving money for his influence 1 the election held in this city granting o franchise to certain street rail- ways, o find, from his own admissions and othier evidente, that in our opinion ho is guilty of the charges as preferred, and do hereby enter our most emphatic protest against and_denounce his action and cen- sure him in our most severe terms.” Chairman Glasgow reported on the charges of a similar nature preferred against Councit- man Burke. “We, your committee of the whole, to whom was referred the charges preferred against Councilman Burke for re ceiving monies for the purpose of influencing his vote at the election beld in this ¢ 25, 1887, do find that the evidence d fully sustain the charges.” A motion to advertise for the city printing was_then car- ried, and after a general conversation on the welfare of the city, the meeting adjourned, the members leaving in a happier frame of mind than usual. % —— A BRUTAL BREWER. Arrested For Throwing His Family Into the Street.. Carl Faltenadt, recently in the employ of Metz, the brewer, has lately been in the habit of coming home drunk and most out- rageously abusing his family. Monday night he came home in his us: beastly state of intoxication and turned his wife and three or four little children, all scantily clad, into the street. They had to seek refuge with some kind hearted mneighbors named Hamilton. Last night Foltenadt came home drunk again and attempted to carry out the programme of the night before. He drove family again out of doors, but John Hamilton took the matter in hand and telephoned for the police. Ofticers Hinchey and Dempsey promptly re- sponded. On reaching the house the officers und the little children and their mother anding shivering iu the cold while the bru- father, inside the house, made the night hideous with his curses. On attempting to g0 into the house the policemen found that Foltanadt was braced against the door, and it Vi y after considerable difficulty that succeeded in getting inside. They found Foltenadt almost nude, having nothing but a shirt on. They ordered him to dress himsclf and go with them. He refused to do so, and while Hinchey stood him on his head, Demp- sey foreed a pair of trousers on him. Throw- ing a coat on him they tumbled him into the patrol wagon and hustled him off to the cen- tral station. His family were thus allowed to pass the night in peace uud quiet uuder their own roof, A Bad Dr. Miller, sr., aged eighty-eight, father of Dr. George L.

Willis Franklin, a garduer, residing at Florence, in this county, was rescued from being frozen to death during the late intenso cold spell by his faithful shepherd dog. He started to cross the Missouri on the ice to sco a friend living a mile or so within the Towa confines. When near the opposite bank ho was seized with an epileptic fit and fell on thd ice. He must certainly have perished of the cold, but his devoted canine friend did his utmost to arouse him by barking, licking his face and pulling at his clothing. Finally Franklin rocovered sufficiently to sit up, and realizing that he was rapidly freezing, he called to his dog and grasping him with all his strength by tho tail, bade him go home, The intelligent animal seemed to understand what was_desired of him and started to scramble back across the bleak river. After much tugging he reached the Nebraska bank, and here set up such a dismal howling a8 to 800n attract the attention of some pass- ers-by.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, Wheat Rules Heavy and Closing Pricos Show Little Change THE CORN TRADE FEATURELESS, —_— Oats Firm But Not Much Doing—a Bulge in Provisions Surpriscs the Bears—Cattle Moro Active—Quotations, —— CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cuioaco, Jan, 31, pecial Telegram to the Bex.]—The wheat market scemed to be sceking a lower level to-day and du most of the session appeared heav toward the close there was a better feeling and the result of the session's trading was to leave prices with very little change. The bearish sentiment was largely local, and so was the selling, while the support came from theoutside. There was good buying for St. Touis aecount, and at critical periods houses with New York connections appeared as buyers and turned the tide upward. Huteh inson was a seller early, and Jones, McCor. mick & Kennett sold considerable wheat Reports from winter wheat sections of dam. age already done and of the poor condition of the plant to withstand severe weather aro continually coming in, and the firmness of the St. Louis market and the buying here for St. Louis parties was attributed to the uncasiness about winter wheat. On the other hand foreign news was discouraging. May wheat opened at 81%;c, and soon sold down to 813@s11gc, with perhaps one “five" al 813¢ straight, and it was at this point that good buying for New York started prices upward again. Ou this turn the May future touched 813@s13{c, then it fell to 81}e, and hung a little above this until just before the close when some good buying and covering by shorts sent the price up again to S13e, the 1 o'clock close being at 813;@S134c. Fob ruary wheat opened at 753e, sold down to hi4e at the 1 o'clock close, and tho highest point was nominally 753 @753 There was only a moderate speculative business in corn and the market foature- less. Sympathy with wheat was given as a reason for such changes of price as thero weore, but during most of the session these were ingignificant. May corn opened 4¢, advanced to 525%¢, and fell to 524w 4, but thereafter until near the close the v fluctuations were between Later the price dropped to ""‘f A0 and closed at 1 o'clock at February corn openeda at closed at 1 0o'clock at 473c bid, which was the highbst point. Corn bulls and corn bears both find no lack of news to sup- port their opinions. #rom northern Iowa come reportsof abundanceof corn and a proba- ble flood of grain for Chicago soon. From those sections of the corn belt where grain was killed come reports of higher prices for corn for local consumption than can be ob. tained in Chicago. There was not much doing in oats ina apeculative way, but_the market was firm, ts opened at 334, @327¢c, sold at 83370 (@, closing at the last named price <, then In provisions the day's market furnished something of a surprise to the general trade, Under the influence of an unexspected “run’ of hogs, business opened with a bearish in- clination. Initial sales of pork were made at prices showing a decline of 15@17igefrom last night's closing of lard at a depreciation of 2 rt ribs at prices fully 7i5c lower. rading progressed, however, the opening spression was supplanted by unlooked for strength. Brokers, seldom if ever, seen in the pit__made their presence known with ~ liberal buying orders, and as the demaud from them was more than suf. ficient to take the offerings of the bear party, higher prices followed us a matter of course. The early decline gave way to an_advancing movement of sufficient vitality to recover practically the ground lost. At 1 o’'clock pork stood at last nizht's final quotations to 2lge lower; lard at the same figures to 2ige ligher and short ribs unchanged. AFTERNOC 1oN—Wheat steady, May closing at 817¢c.

There v half a dozen loads of prime natives among the arrivals. Thera was plenty of plain and medium stock that buyers would only look at when there was nothing else to be had.

TOXAS KTUss BLOC Hoas—Vory first estimates plac arrivals at 45,000, and as late trains began to arrive it was plain to be seen that the run would nearly reach 50,000. This, with tha number carried over from last night would make about 55,000 on sale, a number far too great to get away with, when it is taken into account that packers ‘are bearsh and that the shipping interest was shut out on ac- count of the snow blockade on the New York and New England railway: Alesmen saw difticulties before them and endeavored to meet them with a sharp cut of 10¢, aud for a time this brought out a fair demand, but trains came rolling in one after another, and they had to make unother concession of 5o, making a decline of at least 1 which_ would make values than Saturday last.

The polit- ical speculators, as a rule, are the poorest kind of speculators in the market. They work on points securcd from the inside re- garding the probable introduction of bills and the way in which they will be acted on in the house. The market opened irregular, but soou the sentiment changed to bearish, room traders as a rule playing for a reaction, and the market became soft and declines of 1@ige points were recorded. Reading was the most active, being bought by London, The purchases, however, had no effect as the market continued weak. Chicago, Bur lington & Quincy dropped 1 point on selling- by Boston.
