Break in the Wastern Association, Br. Louis, May 23.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee]—For two weeks it has been rumored about town that the Western asso- eiation team representing this city would fisband early in June. Notlong ago Presi- dent Von der Ahe went over to Cincinnati and hpmediately it was said that the Whites wero for sale. This has now been verified aud the club will in all probability give up the ghost about the middle of June. The enterpriso has been a costly one to Von dor ‘Abe. Bad weather and lack of patronage eaused the trouble, Staley, the pitcher, and Herr, the short stop, will be kept for the Browns, The Kansas City Americans are negotiating for Beckley, the strongest batter in the team and a fine first baseman, Nich- olson will go to Mansfield, O.

Frsoray, O., May 28.—(Special Telogram to Tue Bee.]—A strange spectacle was visi- Dble in the northern sky last night shortly after 11 o’clock, which caused the greatest consternation among the people. It was a representation of a human hand of immense proportion and awe inspirimg. Early in the evening the sky in the north had a . peculiar appearance. As night woro on it took the form of flashes of light, of - changing color, pushing up from the horizon and again sub- siding, but each appearance becoming more brilhant and unnatural. This continued for somo time when those watching were terri- fied to see it concentrating into a giant hand, well formed and distinet as if painted on the black background of the sky. * The hand ap- pearedto bea shadowy substance through which waves of light of blood red color surged ns regalarly as heart beats in the human breast, then fell off at the ends of the fingérs in drops of the same ¢olor and alnost as large as hot air baloons. The spectacle lasted for about an hour and was witnessed by hundreds who watched in breathless and surprised excitement until it slowly began to fade away, and finally disappeared. It was one of the strangest yot most impressing ex- hibitions nature ever witnessed. A Nebraska Patriarch. Covusmus, Neb., May 23.—[Spécial to-the Bre.] —The golden wedding of Mr. und Mrs. J. E.

Hesays: “I every reason to think that the Mills bill will not pass, The opposition froni’ New York democrats is especially noticeable since their convention failed to endorse the bill. The democratic delegation from Penn- sylvania is against it, as aro somo of the dem- ocrats of Missouri. Scott’s speech did tho bill an immense amount of injury, It is the general impression among Scott’s colleagues that he was piaying a big game of bluff when he said he would resign his seat in con- irvnslf evictions were proven against him. Scott isa wicked, worthy of the trust placed in him.” bl The Butchers' Mecting. PrrApeLriuis, May 23.-+The National Butchers' Protective association reconvened this morning.

[Copwright 1668 g games Gordon Bewnett.] Brruiy, May 4% [Now York Herald Cable—Special t6.Tue Bre.]—Berliners to- day make no socvet of their joy over the emberor's convalgseanee and the impending bridal. Only within fhe palace comes a tinge of sadness that the bride's mother died un- timely and that ths 1ffe of the bridogroom's father haugs upon o'thread. After his day in the opon air the omporor expressed a wish to see the bride but:§jr Morrell recommended not, but informed:the Princess Ireno of her father-in-law's wishand the kaiser retired to rest. b All day long there were hundreds saunter- ing in Unter den Linden and gathering in knots round the British and Russian embas- sics. As the Princé of Wales entered his carriage, the people rushed to the steps and their salutatious were returned in the most good-natured manner. This evening a special train with thoir suites and the Prussian offi- clals who had to meet them at the frontier steamed into Charlottenburg station. After the usual groetings had taken place the crown prince introduced all the brilliant suites to the Princess Irone and then con- ducted his future son-in-law to the carriage. Mourning was abandoned for the oceasion and all the younger princesses appeared in white Princess Ircne rode in an open victoria drawn by four black geldings with postil- lions. She looked beautiful in ivory white silk with pearls. I was within two yards of her as she whisked by at a rapid trot. She ‘was completoly overcome by the hearty en- thusiasm of her reception. Twenty thousand people lined the route, shouting ‘‘Hock Wilkommen," ete. She, though pale, smiled. I noticed a tear trickling dow her cheek. As she neared the palace a thousand torches and electric lights reflected on the cuirasses and helmets of the garde dan corps, alltoned down in the full moon, made ideal bridal reception. In the blue salon of the palace the Prince of Wales and distinguished guests awaited the arrival of the royal party, who were driven into the court yard between lines of foot guards. Afterwards the bride and bride- groom held a reception at the palace, The park in front was like fairy land, illuminated by electric lights among the trees. Sylphs appeared to be hovering over the happy bride and her cousin, whilst around the pal- ace the shouts of the enormous crowd brought one back to the realms of reality. e gitn A Triumph for Gladstone. [Copyright 1555 by James Gordon Bennett.] SouTHAMPTON, May 23.—(New York Her- ald Cable—Special to Tne Begr. |—Again the grand old man wins, Southampton has long bren held firmly by the conservatives, and to wrench it from them now 1s particularly gratifying to all the Gladstone following. The campaign has been very determined on both sides. Most of the work for Mr. Evans has been done by his wife's family and immediate friends while he has been in the United States. Admiral Coumerell had to resign on account of special promotions. He has de* clared, however, that the borough was thor- oughly in favor of the preseut administra- tion, that the torigs must surely win but they have lost.

By Taking a Large Dose of Carbolic Acid. T. C. Mackey is a printer who has resided in this city about seventecn years. Last night he went to his residence at 1615 Chi- cago street shortly after 10 o’clock and sat upon the rear steps of the house for some time. About thirty minutes later one of the servant girls in the house heard groans from the place where he had been sitting, and upon looking to sce from whence they came she found Mackey ss tho steps in an almost unconscious condition. He was immediately taken into the house and Drs, Search aud Jones were called, but he was beyond all human aid, and forty minutes later he expired. From what can boe learncd it seems that he commited suicide by taking a dose of carbolic acid, a vial containing drops of this drug having been found lying near the steps. No cause is assigned for the suicide except the fact that he had been drinking quite heavily during the past few days. Mackey was forty-two years of age and leaves a wife and daughter, both of whom are very estimable ladies. The Rapist is Caught. Joe Roberts, the alleged rapist of little Eva Bellman, the eight-year-old daughter of Mrs, Bellman, Twenty-eighth near Farnam, was arrested yesterday by Sergeant Sigwart and Officer Whalen while engaged in the useful occupation of hauling dirt for Schleick, the contractor, near Twentieth and Hall streets, On his presentation to the police magistrate he smd he wished to have his trial as soon as possible as ho was not guilty and could prove it if they would accept his statement of the story. The judge therefore fixed his trial at 2 p. m, to-morrow. Roberts is a low-browed, vicious looking man, of very inferior mentality, and looks even too dull to appreciate the cnormity of the crime charged against him. He is 2 man of about s of medium lieight, und has a short, looking, darl b He is one of tho main guys in the Salvation army here.

There were no claimants for the body at the time and it was taken to Ball’s, where Charles E.

At the end of that period no one putting in an appenrance, Mr, Edes moved the body up stairs and began a series of expe ments with a fluid that he has disco’ ered. He has just made his expe ments public and a number of physicians, soientific men and undertakers, who have called have given their opinions on the subje The remains are completely num- mified.

Corn Opens Stronger on Light Re- ceipts—Oats Nervous-Provisions Strong But Speculation Slow— Cattle Moderatoly Active. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Cnioaco, May 93.—[Speclal Telegram to 2 Ber,]—The crowd settled down to-day to the convietion that Cudahy's July wheat was going overboard. It has been hinted at a dozen timea cach day this week, and dread- ed all the while by “talers,” big and little, Wwho kept buying wheat while the syndicate did, but who wanted to start the selling a lit- tlo before they did. Brosseau, Gilbert, Stauffer and othors wero the brokers who were credited with doing this business, Brosseau solling the most of ail. July opened at 874¢, touchoed $7%c, and, when the crowd was protty generally convinced that there was something in the story of Cuda- hy’s selling, the price touched S5igo. At1 o'clock the price—85%c—was still almost at the bottom. Outside news cut no figure, but it was not of the sort to help prices, Includ- ing even flour, wheat exports wore only a little over 110,000 bushels. Outside orders were not of sufiicient number or of enough value to help local bulls. There was, how- ever, cnormous covering by lucky ones who took the short side higher up. St. Louis was very active on this side, W. G. McCormick & Co. alone taking avery large line. The marked feature of the day was the moving up of more distant options. This was partly explained by Cudahy’s operations. While he sold July he bought December and August. Other bulls did the same. When the market opened August was 14cunder December and JgcunderJuly. At the close August was atonly Y@l discount, whilo Decembe was actually at 13 @12¢e premium over Jul ( The change .was occasioned partly by th disappearance of all prospects of a July cor- ner, and partly by the influence of Cudahy’( sales of near, and purchases of more distany months. Recoipts of corn were somewhat under ox- pectations and on that the price ovened up. May started at ched didgc. At clock, however wero back to July opened 5140, sold hettyeen nd 554¢c and closed at 55%c. The ésti- 407 cars—were con- sidered large and there was some yielding on them. Closing cables were strong aud, for deferred deliverics, highe May oats sold from 33%0c to 863¢c, all in very few minutes. This was really the de- velopment of the Iargo operations of Norton & Worthington in this grain, During the ex- citement Norton sold freely of both May and June. At 1 o'clock May was back to 85ic. July opened at 32¢ and closed at 884c, The provision trade agnin exhibited good strength. The 1 o’clock closings inspecula- tive lines were a little under lnst night's tinal prices, yet considering the comparatively free marketing of hogs, the product was remarka- bly well supported. . Speculation, however, was slow and without apecial feature, Gash buyers made up in a measure for the re- stricted future trading, and their_purchases ed quite a good aggregate.
