To Realize He Must Close Out Within Ninety Days Chicago, Feb. 14.—The Leiter wheat interest is put now at 20,000,~ 000 bushels, making the stake the largest since the speculation was be- gun, nine months ago. Cudahy had 28,000,000 bushels of wheat in April, 1898. In that same month Pard- ridge ording to a statement made by him Ister, was short 18,800,000 bushels, and Pardridge stood to lose $3,000,000, Leiter's interest is peculiar in that no one man ever owned so much cash wheat before. Of the 20,000,000 bushels on bis books, 12,000,000 bushels are cash wheat, for which Leiter holds the receipts, Leiter paid for this wheat in December, and kept on selling his ‘‘wind,’’ he has held on to the real thing. When he paid for the cash wheat in December, he said it would be sent abroad and marketed, Now will come the beginning of the end, a matter of weeks, The actual wheat is to start away toward the European consuwer, The plan is to close the deal before the new crop wheat completes at any selling point, and this must be done witbin the next 90 days.

Walter Burgess is the name of a young man who was today forced to face friends of his dead father, and to listen to the incriminating evi~ lence of his own mother, on a charge of vagrancy. He was arrested at the instance of his own mother, and of some of the Odd Fellows who desire to see something made of the young man. When Judge Sanders his name from the docket, Burgess arose and said he worked when he could find work, and then began weeping. His father was an Odd Fellow and dice a few years ago. Mrs, Burgess who was left with three small chil- dren in addition to the boy, who is now now twenty years old, bas taken in boarders and washing to help earu a livelibood, and the Odd Fellows, who always take care of their widows and orphans, contributed whatever was necessary toward the poor wo- man’s support. Young Burgess worked at the rail- road shop, bat about a year ago for some reason lost his position, and since then has not worked. Stories frequently reached the ears of the police about his sbiftless habits in failing to contripute to the support of his mother and sisters and broth- ers, but as no complaint was made, no action was taken. For the past year he has evinced no desire to work, Mrs. Burgess stated to the court that her son would not work, but came home for his meals and to sleep. Oftentimes he remained away most of the night, He always sim- ply said he could not work. He fres quently spoke very roughly towards her, but never struck her, He al- ways knew what home and mother were when he got hungry, however. One or two gentlemen testified to the young man’s indifference to work and one said that not long since a load of coal was sent to Mrs. Bur- gess and she came over to where he was and asked him to help carry it in, He refused. The accused hung his head throughout the trial, and dechned to testify. Judge Sanders sentenced him to thirty days at hard labor on the chain gang, and said he hoped it would do him good, John Caruthers, a colored barber, made a proposal of marriage in the police court today; It was to Kmma Bufort, and was likely the first one made in the presence of the court for aday. The young lay, how- ever, rejected the proposal, | Bufort was last evening arrested on a charge of seduction. preferred by the woman, She claimed this morning that he promised to marry her, and when she became a mother, declined. She then appealed to the law, Caruthers said he had been going with her, He said he didn’t believe it was his child, as it was as white as the county attorney. This produced a general laugh, He sxid another colored man was probably responsi- ble for it. He then had the woman recalled, and asked her if she would marry him, She said she would if he would agree to support her and the child, The court decided that no such con- dition was necessary. The county attorney wanted to show by state- ments Caruthers had made that he diac’t jutend to support either, and the propostl of marriage was not made in good faith, ‘The court de- cided that the good {sith could only he shown by the marriage iiself, The defendant and prosecuting witnes” then had a consultation over in the prisoners’ dock, but it was unsatis- factory, and she said she wasn’t will- ing to marry him under the circum- Mances. The case was then left open. After court Caruthers and the woman failed to come to any agree- ment, she declined to marry him, and he was discharged from custody, the warrant being dismissed. John Bell and Ella Stial, colored, were fined $20 and costs for immor- ality. OPPOSITION GROWING, The Infamous Goebel Election Bill Runs Against a Snag Inthe House Today.
