’ followed by a glad shout, 1888, THE CRICAGOS ~ CHICAGOED. Omaha Succeeds in Shutting Out the Windy Oity Boys. LOVETT PITCHES SPLENDIDLY' He is Only Hit For Two Singles and Fans Out Eight Men— Minneapolis and St. Paul Both Lose. Omaha 2, Chicago 0. 1t did not take the Omahas long to do up the Chicagos yesterday afternoon—just one hour and twenty minutes, And they shut them out at that, and the large crowd in at- tendance made the welkin ring with their ex- ultant shouts. Lovett was & Sampson in the box, mo wing down the carmine-leggod heros from the windy city like grass before the scythe. He gave but one man a base on balls, struck out eight and allowed but two little puny hits to be made off of him. Lovett, in the language of the poet, you are a full-bloom daisy, Big Wilson, too, backstopped in his usual fine style. He made no mistakes and only permitted one base to be stolen, In fact all the boys did well, notwithstand- standing their three errors, and more and more, every day, do they look like pennant ‘winners. And whilo wrapping the mantle of glory about the valiant Omahogs, it would be par- tial not to speak in terms of highest com- mendation of the Chicago lads. They were guilty of but one error, and fought hard from the opening to the close. They de- served u detter fate. Their battery work ‘was splendid. For the first five innings it was nip and tuck with Dunn and Lovett who had the best, of it. Dunn, however, lacks stamina, and could not last. He weakenod perceptibly foward the wind-up and was hit quite hard hnd often. Our own Lovett is a stayer, He is incomparable, and of course carried off the laurels, But most people like to know just how the old thing worked, This is the way: Burns, the first man at the plate, as is a fashion of his, lined out a safe one to center, and quickly stole second. Flynn fauned out. Anms retired on a little one right down in front of him, which Dunn threw to first and ©'Connell diéd from short to first. The au- dience sighed. For the Chicagos Lang put a safe onelike a ifle shot past Doran, and not to be outdone ¢ Burns, purloined 'second. Then Crogan %00k first on five bad balls. A man in the rand stand cried ‘‘murder!” Just as if vett didn't know what he was doing. {‘unpo stepped up with a resolute look, and hen sat down on a grounder to short and first. Long and Crogan, however, moved up 2 bag each, and things looked bright for a run. The people were restless and uncasy, but just ae quiet as mice. There was a shout, though, when Lovett struck the agile Rooks out, and a roar as Moriarty popped up a ittfe one to O'Connell. ‘There was nothing to cheer over in the sec- ond. Miller slashed away at the ambient at- mosphere three times, Shannon flew out to socond and Doran to Rooks. For the red logs Hingle was put out by Miller, Dugdale struck out and Hanahan was Fetired by a pop-up to Lovett. Our daughty pitcher was the first man at bat in the third. The crowd cheered him. In acknowledgment he sent a corker to right, stgle second and ran like a fox down to third on o half pass ball. Did it mean a run, every- y said 80. Then Wilson foul tipped out, and an andible groan went up, but it was however, when et scampered across the plate while rns was being retired from short to first. "lynn flew out to second. for the visitors Dunn was quickly extin- nished on strikes; long fiom Miller to "Connell and Crogan on another high fly to vott. In the next inning Annis went out from Dunn to Crogan; O'Connell on a grounder to first, but Mills was given his base on balls, where he was left, Shannon going out from Hanahan to fivst. Lang- thon sent a long fy to Annis, and went and sat down; Rooks struck out again, and how the crowd guyed him. Moriarty got mad at this and curved a_safe little one out to center, but was immediately retired on presumptuous attempt to steal second, leav- Y Hengle standing at the bat. n the fifth Crogan hit a savs grounder, which got through Crogan’s logs and he made first. Lovett then struck out, and Wil- Bon dicd from Hengle to first, Doran rush- ing down third. There he remamed, as Burns went out on strikes. For the Chicagos Henglo was put out from Doran to O'Connell. Dugdale fanned, and Hanahan retired from Lovett to first. The sixth brought Omaha another score and the last in the game. Flynn out from Hanahan to Crogan and Hines likewise, but O'Connell rapped one to center, and seored on Miller's dandy drive into the curriages Hlong left field Loud ana vociferous shouting right here. Shannon retired the A patriy, on a fly to Hanahan, yoster® In their half Dunn made first on Doran’s - ;‘nmblu of his hot_oue, but was retired the lext moment by Doran throwing Long's hit to Shannon, Long gaming first by a hair's breadth. He took second on a bad throw of Yovetv's, but was caught trying to steal fhird. Crogan sat down on a weak hitto piteh to first. Doran, Lovett and Wilson went out on one, two, three order in the next, as did Lang, Rooks and Moriarity for the visitors. In the eighth,after Burns had been retired, Flynn got his base on balls, and had he not Btopped a second on Annis'’ long two bagger, could have easily scored. As it was he was put out at the plate. Annis stole third, but ‘Wwas left on O'L‘mmull‘! out. To maintain the excitement for the Chi- cagos, Hengle reached second on Flynn's muff of his long fly, which was made on a dead run, and was entirely excusable, Dug- dule, who couldn’t have hit an omnibus, had Lovett been pitching the struck out. Hanaban then retived on a big fly to O'Connell, but Dunn made first on a bad throw of Doran’s, Hengle going to third. But it all amounted to nothing as Long few out to Wilson, In the final inning Miller hit his second pafe one, this time past over Hengle, but Shannon went out on a long fly to loft. Then Doran hit safe over second and Miller yeached third, but in trying to reach homo simultaneously with Doran’s that of secoud, he was caught betwecen the bases, surround- and massacred. Lovett ended the sport by going out from short to first. For the Chicago's Crogan, Lange and Rooks were relired as fust us they stepped up to the plate.

St. Pavr, May 0.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.[—The Chicago Maroons are scheduled to open the season here Saturday, but where the games are to be played is somewhat of a conundrum. Work on the new Athletic park, which was to have been ‘onMeted by Saturday has ,been suspended, and it is doubtful whether they will be com- pleted before the middle of June. The old grounds are also partially inundated. Prob- ably the diamond will be changed around on the old grounds as in the recent exhibition games, but just what will be done has not yet been determined. THE \VXEgTEI{N LEAGUE.

Lot them have a big crowd this afternoon. Maybe Lovett didn’t piteh an elegant game yestorday. As coachers, the Chicagos' education is in- complete. General Frederick and C. rarely miss a game. Flynn will be in the points for the local team this afternoon. Dunn’s pitching for the first five innings yesterday was very effective. Omaha has the most orvderly bleaching boards audience in the country. The Omaha and Chicago again this after- noon. Game called at 8:30 sharp. Without beinq loud-mouthed or offensive, Dan Shannon is the finest coacher in the west. Lovett will pitch in twoof the opening goumes with Des Moines, on Sunday and uesday. » The Windy city sluggers were only able to t two little hits off TommiejLovett yester- ay afternoon. Miller had his eye on the ball yesterday, and oh my how hedid scratch gravel be- tween the lines. The “Maid of Athens’ occupied a conspic- uous seat in the grand stand. She is a great admirer of the sport. What a magnificent record Lovott has made 80 far this season. But one run has been made off his pitching, and that an un- earned one. The umpiring of Powers yesterday was of the right sort. His decision putting Flynn out at the plate yesterday was perfectly just, despito tho prejudiced opinion of many in thd grand stand. To-day, will in all probability be- a beauti- ful day, and Omaha should attest to its ap- preciation of our excellent team by turning out en masse. So farthe patronage has been anything but flattering. J. D. McLaughlin, a well known all-round player, and who is sojourning here, has been offered an engagement with both the Elmira (N. Y.) club und that of London, Ontari Muo is a reliable, honest, hard-worki player, and would be a valuable acquisition to any club. 01d_reliable Dick Dwyer bas at last con- cluded to return to the diamond, and Monday ho signed a contract with the London (Ontario) team, for which place he departs this evening. Man may come and man. may &0, but a ball player once, a bali playen for- ever. Tt it is not generally known, but Manager Barnes, of the St. Pauls, while here last week, had his jaw smashed. He insulted a prominent Omaha official, invited him out to fight, and for his pains got_beautifully dono up. ~ Evervthing “goes as she lays’ down here Barnsey, old boy. Tn regard to the application for an njunc- tion to restrain Sunday baso ball playing, Andrew Bemis, who has interested himselt in the matter, says: “I belieye the applica- tion will be refused for want of jurisdiction. Tn granting the writ of habeas corpus for the Lincoln councilmen last winter, the supreme court of the United States held directly that acourt of equity has no jurisdiction to stay the commission of a crime.” TURF AND TRACHK.

[ Copumight 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxnox, May #—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Th# Ben.]—Another noble army of social magtyrs besieged Bucking- ham palace to<ay for admission to the queen’s drawing roama, The first carriage in line took 1ts place ] a. m., the opening of the gates not Immg‘umil 0. Thoere was the usual display of , illinery, novel-reading and the enjoyment Jof delectable confitures within the conches,while hearts were weary waiting through thé May hours, Ontside riazes was the usual display of flunkies in every variety of livery, the sight which always particularly pleases the on- Toolaing people, who in the bright sunshine wore eapecially hilarious. The presentations of Americans are the only features of interest to Horald readers in the often described drawing rooms. .These included Mrs. Cornelius _Vanderbilt, Mrs. Fitzhugh, Mrs. Whitehouse sistor-in-law of the gyptian ex- plorer, Mrs. James Mackin and Mrs. John Bleecker Miller, whose daughter is the wife of the naval attache to the American loga- tion. Mrs. Vanderbilt, when announced, became the cynosure. She wore a dress made with demi-train, heavy crevette pink satin bro- caded with seattered bouquets of wild roses in gold and silver; an overskirt front foll on an immensely wide flounce or rather over- dress in rare antique point d’argentan; it was caught at one sido to show croscent- shaped garlands of rose folinge mounted on full rushings of crevette pink crepe, the gar- lands extending as high as tho knee; the court train of cream white velvet was lined throughout with pale yellow satin and bor- dered with a wido band of cream white ostrich feathers; the trimmings on this band were set at intervals with large pink roses with buds and folinge: the corsage cut V shape in brocaded satin; in front a band of cream white ostrich feathers crossed it transversely and passed over one shoulder, a plaited scarf drapery in crevette pinl crape set over the other; at the back a pointed drapery of cream velvet met at the left side of the top of the train; the picturo of the train with the drapery was concealed by a large ornament in diamonds finished with pendant chains in diamonds, each chain ter- minating with a large pear shaped pearl. Her ornaments were solitaires and a diamond necklace, Mrs, Whitehouse wore & white satin with white tulle overdress; the modest trimmings were of white satin ribbons laid aown in long loops; her ornaments were pearls and diamonds. Lady Randolph Churchill and Lady Man- deville attended the ‘drawing room, each wearing similar robes of white brocade and gold trimmings, but varied in divers details. Their ornaments were.diamonds. Many of the debutantes also wore charm- ing costumes. Foro mstance: One young lady wore a light aril’#Haphanous tulle over silk, garlanded with jwhite carnations, which, with their grey-gresn;spicy leaves formed a bold vandyke up and down the front; the skirt train was &' plain white sicilienne, soft and reposeful, ‘ayd was ruched with tulle all down one sidprin a snowy ridge that also extended acrossthi whole width of the edge, and up the other dide ran a garland of white cornations likq'tHose on the skirt of the mother. 55 Another debutante appeared in a court train of violet velvet in one of § the lovliest shades of that fumptuous color; the dress and bodice weye composed of deep rich velvet with interludes of pale mauve crepe, over which was diapéd tho softest net, abundantly spangled 'with pelettes of glitter- iiig silver; both train and dress were hero and there scattered over with and shaded with touches of violet and mauve ruched with white. Two sisters—debutantes—were dreased alike in trains and bodices of soft rich white silk, over petticoats of white silk and em- broidered muslin, trimmed with clusters of guelder roses. Their mother wore a train of old brocade in a soft shade of grey, with a dress of silk in the same tone trimmed with rare old venetian point lace. A very uncommon looking dress was in rich white brocade in a floral design, large blossoms being outlined with slonder touches of black, the train was a black velvet edged with lace and loops of white ribbons, the lin- ing matching these in a tint; the posy con- sisted of mauve orchids tied with black. A beautiful empire dress was in white satin, veiled with figured sillc run through with lines of narrow moire ribbons in alter- nate pink and green tints of roses and foli- age, with which the dress was trimmed; the train was in white striped ottoman silk and satin lined with pink Chinese silks, the pink showing dimly through the white. It looked as desired by Tennyson when he writes ofa “Lily that the sun shines through, And a rose bush leans upon.” Several of the presentation dresses were trimmed with large clusters of flowers or feathers around the edge of the skirts; in front and over this was thrown a gossamer tulle veil. The effect was good, enhancing the beauty of the flowers by a suggested half alment of th 10 e Lumber Men at a Lumber Town.

RAPID TRANSIT GETS THERE. The Council Believe in Quick and Hasty Travel. AND THEY GIVE THEIR CONSENT, An Ordinance Passed in Favor of the Omaha Cable Company—One for the Horse Car Men to Ponder Over. The Adjourned Meeting. The fourteen councilmen who met in an adjourned meeting last night found consider- able to debate and wrangle over. It was nearly 11:30 when they concluded their mis- sion. After referring the following two im- portant ordinances to a committee of the whole, the council settled down to business: “That within sixty days from the passage of and approval of ‘this ordinance, all street car companies or corporations owning or op- erating any street car line along any of the paved streots in the city Omaha, beand hereby are, required to place conductors upon cach of their cars running upon any such streots, and thereafter to provide all such cars with conductors for the pur- ose of collecting fars and porform- ng such other duties as are usual on the part of conductors in serving the public and guarding against accidents. All companies or corporations operating any street car lines within the oity of Omaha shall on or beforo the 1st day of November of each year, provide each of their passenger cars with some means or system for heating said cars, and at all times, when the weather is at or below or below freezing point, have such cars com- fortably heated. Kach company or corpora- tion, or its superintendent or managing agent, failing, neglocting or refusing to place conductors upon its cars, as horein re- quired, or to heat the same as herein ro- quired, shall be fined in any sum rot exceed- ing §100, and each day any such company, corporation, its superintendent, or managing agent shall 50 fail, neglect or refuse, shall bo deemod a separate and distinct _offense, In addition to fine herein authorized to be imposed on the failure to provide conductors herein required, it shall be proper and law- fulffor any and all passengers to refuse to deposit their fare in any box or recep- tacle provided for such purchase.” “Bo it ordained that the salary of police officers and policemen in the city of Omaha shall be and they are hereby fixed at _the_ro- presentative sums following, to-wit: For each deputy chief, or captain of police the sum of $100 per month. For each sergeant of police the sum of 850 per month. For each policeman the sum of §70 per month.” After some discussion on motion of Coun- cilman_Bailey the contract of J. B. Smith & Co. of §100,000 to pave Dodge street from Eighteenth to Twenty-sixth with codar Dlocks, instead of cypress, and other streets with a like material already reported in Tur Ber was approved. The cable tramway request for a special election to ratify their franchise voted upon last year, was reported back adversely by Councilman Lowry. The report created considerable_discussion, and upon motion of Councilman Hascall the matter was referred to_the committec of the whole, to be con- sidered when it met. uncilman Lee offered the following reso- Iution Resolved, That whenever it shall appear to the city engineer that the curbing contractors are unable to lay curbing fast enough to sup- nly the paying contractors it shall be the uty of said city enginecr to employ sufii- cient help to keep the curbing laid in advance of the pavers. There was a great deal of tallc over_this, and Lee accepted Hascall's amendment that the board of public works be included in the resolution which was passed. The_ordinance creating vavirg districts 175, 176 and 177 was passed, and Doverell Bros. were permitted to deposit 300 yards of dirt on Jackson street between Twenty- seventh and Twenty-eighth, Councilmen Bailey and Manville opposed the contract of Stubt & Hamil for grading certaiu streets around _Hauscom park, insist- 1ng that the money to be spent for that pur- pose should be devoted to making streets passable, & Councilman Hascall thought the improve- ment- necessary, and an urgent one. It would-be only carrying out the faith of the city, and if it was submitted to the vote of the citizens of Omaha it would be by four to one to go ahead with the worls. Councilman Leo argued in the same strain, and_assurcd the council that if it was neccssary he could bring the names of hundreds of responsible citizens to agree to pay an overlap, if the ex- pense of the grading caused it. Councilman Lowry backed up the objec- tions of Bailey and Manville, and Counsman loaned his voice in a like direction. On motion the contract was laid over until next Tuesday nignt. Ordinances on first and second readings referred: To repeal sections 7, 9, 10 and 14 of chapter 17 entitled “dogs" of Chase's compiled_ordinances: granting leave to resi- dents and property owners fronting on Thir- ty-second street between Pacific and Wool- worth avenues to park and improve six_feet of said Thirty-second street adjoining their respective lots: an ordinance providing rules and regulations to prevent accidents on the tracks of railroad companies. Ordinances passed on_the third reading: Ordering curbing of Twenty-fourth strect th Colorado sand stone; Sherman avenue in paving district 114, and' Eighteenth street in paving district 903; additional water hydrants; creating sewer districts 75 and 74; paving Fourteenth stroet from Davenport to Webster with Colorado sand stones to cancel taxes for year 1587 on lot 5, block 50; for the construction of sidesvalks out of the' special fund; establishing curb lines on Eighteenth street between Nicholas and Ohio streets; paving of Williams street in paving district 95 with Sioux Falls graite; amending ordinance relative to paving dis- trict No. 128 on Seventecnth street; ordering b r of Twenty-fifth street and Pierce, allowing property owners to designate o material desired; amending ordinance relative to paving district No. 80 on Nicholas street; authorizing construction of main sewer on Chicago street west of Twenty- cighth hvenue from its present terminus in'a southwest direction across Farnam street; reating paving district 1%0; construction of v and appropristing certain property in lots 5 and 8, blocks 7, 8 and 9, in Ma: addition; directing board of public works to pave Castellar street in district 150 and Vin- rdering curbing in 169, 165, , 163, 133, 154, 152, 155 and 181 with Berca dstone and paving districts 161, 158, 150, 152, 184, 107, 160, 100, 100, 126, 145, 141, 140, 135 and'98 with Colorado ‘sandstoné and di ng the board of public works to cause said work to be done, The council ‘went into committee of the whole to gonsider the request of the cable tramway coipany Tor aspecial election, Councilman Kierstead said as he understood 1t that the corporation Akl not propose to opet ate theiroars into the ofty with steam power. They propose to run in from South Omaha and the Patriok farm with steam to conncet with grip cars, Mr. Morse said that was the idea, and that the intention was to run steam and motor cars from South Omaha and outlying north- orn parts to within a mile of the postofice where they connect with grip cars, Councilman Lee said that as a_new post- office was promised it would not be prgetic- able to baso the limit by the present sito. He thought that an_amendment. should. bo_in- serted in the ordinance prohibiting the run- ning of the motor, or steam cars, without the consent of the mayor and common council. “ouncilman Manville was of the opinion that it was wrong to vote the franchise to the cablo company, inasmuch as the council had once declared the steam motor & nui- sance. A representative from the cablo company said that the motor they proposed to use was covored and made no more racket than the prosont cable cars. Councilman Burnham said that one objec tionable feature against the ordi- nance was allowing the company a franchise of ninety-niwl: years, which would be a sot-back to any othor enterprises that might want to como_in during tho tune the franchise ran. The Metropolitan cable com- pany, as he remombered it, had been allowed a franchise of only thirty years,and he moved that the franchise be limited to a samo num- ber of years, Councilman Kierstead represented that the Metropolitan line was instituted only to sell property in which they were interested in. t was otherwise with this new corporation. They were putting in their millions on a sub- stantial plant, and proposed to sustain and operate it. The speaker concluded by saying that he would vote for the ninety-nine years franchise. Councilman Hascall agreed with the views expressed by Councilman Burnham, and moved that forty years be the extent of the franchise accorded to the company. A vote was first taken on Le's motion in roference to restricting the boundaries of the running of the motor. This was carried, as was Councilman Hascall's making the fran- chise forty years. Councilman Burnham next brought up the question when the company proposed oper- ating and finushing their lines. He thought it an important one, and the company should stipulate the time. Councilman Alexander thought Council- man Burham'’s proposition an unfair one, as did Councilmen Kierstead and Hascall. ' 1t was finally voted to give the road twenty years in which to finally occupy the streets named In the ordinance, and further that they will not build any tracks on Sherman avenue without the consent of a_majority of the property holders on the street. The committee arose, reported the above amendments to the council and they were adopted. A recess of fifteen munutes was taken to include the amendments in the ordinance, and when it was brought up after the recess for ratification certain membors of the council showed a disposition to combat it. Councilman Burnham thought that the council had no assurance that the company would defray the expenses of the special clection, which it is proposed shall be held on the 22d of May. The represcntatives of the company promised that they would stand the expense, and Burnham went off on anew tack to the effect that he and other councilmen did not fully understand the legal aspect of the case. He moved that it be referred for one weck so that he and others could consult with the city attorney. Councilman Lowry was of the same opinion, and s0 was Councilman Manville, The Burnham motion was lost by a vote of 3 ayesto 7 noes. The yuestion occurring on the adoption of the coming ordinance it was passed by the following vote: Ayes—Alex- ander, Bailey, Bedford, Boyd, Cousman, Hascall, Kierstead, Kitchen, Lee, Snyder; noe—sBurnhawu, Lowry, Manville, Mr. Presi- dent. e WOODS SURRENDEKS, The Shooter of Old Man Kerns Gives Himself Up. “Hello, officer; my name is Woods; the police are looking for me and 1 want to give myself up.” The speaker was William Woods, the young man for whom the oficers have been most diligently searching for several weeks past for perforating his father-in-law, Jim Kerns, with bullet_holes. The party ad- dressed was Officer Murphy as he patrolled his beat near the corner of Thirtecuth and William strects last ovenmng, uud when Woods expressed the wish to be taken into custody the officer with the greatest alacrity complied with the request. On being taken to the central jstation Woods was vory com- municative and gave a full account of the Btate of nffairs Joading up to the assault, his flight and subsequent wauderings. Ho says that Kerns has threatened to take his life on a number of occasions and that the last time was on the cvening of the as- sault, when thoy had _some hard words on the corner of Thirteenth and Williams street. He related the matter to Davis, who urged him to kill Kerns and even went so far as to purchase a revolver and give 1t to Woods otrate the crime with, On leaving the e after supper Woods was urged by his wife not to let Kerns come home alive, and thus it appears, as suspected, that Woods' wife was in league with Davis id of him and Kerns. Woods followed the old man home alone, Davis being too cowardly 1o accompany him on the murderous expedi tion. The aitack was ade, with the results that are already nown. Woods then soon lost in the durkness. 'The next day he passed in the ha- zel brush below South Oaha. Ho then headed for Denver, reaching that place about a week later by occasional rides on trains, After hanging about that city for three or four weeks, scanning the columns of Tue Bry every duy for news concerning Kerns, ho finally saw there was a possibility of ‘the man living and he decided the best thing for him to do would be to give-himself up to the authorit He therefore returnea to Omaha, reaching here about 6 o'clock last evening. Upou being_questioned as to his wife's fidelity, he said he knew of uo illicit relations having existed between her and Davis, but he did not know whiether the child he called he cailed his own was really his or that of his father-in-law, Kerns 15 still ina_pretty procarious con dition at St. Joseph’s hospital. Davis and Mrs., Wood are awaiting results in the county jail. Boulanger Ahead. Pamis, May 9.—At the municipal election in Lozere General Boulanger was choscn by a unanimous voto.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKEF Crircaco, May al Telogram to Trn Brr.|—Wheat advanced 9o during tho morning seasion and closed at nearly the top price. The opening w rather tame at a little under yesterday's closing pricos. Kammoror was the first heavy buyer, and Mitchell & Linn soon followed. Almost every commission house had buying orders. To all this demand was added that of local shorts as soon ns tho prices bogan to ad- vance. The longs were realizing profits all the way up, but their grain was absorboed, and with one or two exceptions without causing a halt in the upward movement. There woro w0 or three stopping places where realizing was more general and reactions of I oc- curred, but when those longs who were wiil- ing to part with their grain had done so, tho upward movement was again resumed. Thero scemed to be very little disposition to sell wheat before buying it. Bears were doing nothing—hibernating, as it were, for the present. Exactly the same thing which discouraged short sell- ing stimulated the demand aud that was the oxpectation of the government crop report, which will be here to-morrow. Everybody with faith in wheat wanted somo and the bears were quite willing to wait until the effect of that document was known, Early in the session C. A. King & Co., of Toledo, telographed Kammerer that the re- port of the Ohio board of agriculture showed an average condition of wheat in that state of 53, twelve points docline from its last ro- port; also that the ncreage was largely re- duced by plowing up. This, with strong buying immediately ‘afterward, caused a rumor to spread that the government report was out and added to the excitement aud eagernoss to buy., But nobody pretended to have any inkling of that roport. If thero was a leak in the government office at one time it is surely stopped up now. Tho report for the last month was a complote surprise and the one for this month is only guessed at. There wero bad crop reports from south: ern Indiana and from Missouri. A telo- gram from San Francisco sald thero was no_improvement in the condition, of wheat in California and there would not. be more than one-third to one-half a crop. Win ter wheat markets were very strong and there seems to have been a sudden apprecia: tion of values of winter wheat here. No, 2 red sold at 873(c in_store yesterday; to-day tho same whoat was sold at 92c. July wheat opened at &4ige, advanced slowly 10 S{ko, then rapidly to 853 @353, fell to 854, Ad: vanced o 8615c, doclined to 85%{c, advaticed 10 863¢c, dropped back to S6%e, and closed at 1 o'clock at S63@s6'¢c. June wheat opened at 88%c, sold up to 85'e and closed at 8higc at 1 0'clock. The corn market was a_little firmer and. showed a small advance, apparently froui sympathy with the strength in wheat, Trad- ing was light and _without special featuro., Receipts, present and_prospective, are com- paratively small and it is a part of tho gos- p of the floor, that the owners of cash corn, who are also long for May, are letting up on their pressure of the shorts for that month, 8o that the inducement to ship ' corn herc shall be lessened. The May future, however, advancoed to-d from 50ic bid to 57c and closed at 5530, which was a greater advance than was seen in other dcliveries. July corn opened: at 559c, sold up to B53e, back to b5e and closed at 1 o'clock at 5d3gc. Juno corn openied ut 35c, sold up to 353¢c and closod at b55ge. The influence of a strong wheat market was also felt to some degree in oats which made a slight advance, but_with only mod- erato trading and no special feature. May oats sold up from 333¢c to 34%c, June from 33c to 83%e, duly from 528 to sic, closing at 3%, August_from 28%{@28%c bid to 3Skc, and Seplember onts sold at 57%c. The provision trade was in a rather slow condition. No radical chango occurred in values yot ‘the fecling had a weaker tono than that of former days of the week, and the market appeared to' be wanting iu_active support, Still at 1 o’clock pork rested af, last, night's closings to 2'¢c higher, lard at the sume to 2i4c lower and short ribs only 2}5@ 5e lower.

The reduc tion shows plainly that the road has lost heavily by the cut in rates during the winter, also by the strike. It is said that some of lirectors favored pussing the dividend but on second thought thoy changed uds and decided to pay 1 per cent, June 15, to stockholders on record Maw 24. The passing of the dividend would have hud a disastrous effect on holders of its stooks and bonds, as large quantitics of the latter are Lield by trust companics and estates.
