But for seventy hours Srevious the shorts had made a esperate rally to cover, and had se­ cured 40,000 bushels on the track and in the elevators. This was offered thie bulling firm and they bought as long as j their money lasted at $1. In ten min­ utes they paid out over $150,000 and the j checks were cashed. Finally one for $10,000 was returned, when the crash ' came. In less time than it takes to tell it May corn sold for 50 cents. The shorts were saved, but the bulls were badly nipped.

Barthel is the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Com­ pany's switchman whose negligence in leaving a switch open on March 1 re­ sulted in the death of seven shop men through a collision of the shop train and a passenger train. Barthel was a wit­ ness in his own behalf, and while his testimony developed no particulars ad­ ditional to those published at the time of the accident, the straightforward manner with which he gave it made a strong impression with the jury. He candidly admitted that he had forgotten to close the switch.

The timbers used in supporting the roof of the mine caught fire, and the flames spread from one part of the workings to another un­ til the whole interior of the mine was a mass of flreX--It is reported that the list of missing reaches 200. At last accounts twenty-five dead bodies, burned and blackened in a terrible manner, had been recovered and twenty-five were rescued, the un­ fortunate men being shockingly burned and crushed. Most of the victims, in­ cluding three who lost their lives while engaged in the work of rescue, died of suffocation. The presence of noxious vapors greatly retarded the work of rescue. Until arrangements were made f<5f forcing currents of pure air into the mine it was extremely hazardous for any one to enter the burned passages, and, as already mentioned, some of the rescuers succumbed.

Decoration Day three monuments of es­ pecial note were unveiled, and later in the week another was dedicated on the field of the battle of Gettysburg. All of these unveilings this year were made occasions of note, occasions for the out­ pouring of a younger generation's gratitude and appreciation. At Rich­ mond the men who fought under Gen. A. P. Hill revealed the marble present­ ment of the Southern hero to the public eye. At Lenox, Mass., the statue of a revolutionary hero, Gen. Paterson, was unveiled, and at Rochester the denizens of that entire section of the State listened to what the orators of the day said in praise of the soldiers who fell in the civil war. Then came the capstone of the week's events, the dedication of the "High-Water Mark" monument at Gettysburg on the very spot where Hall's and Harrow's brigade attacked Longstreet's column on July 3, 1863. The Rochester Monument. The monument at Rochester is splen­ didly designed and is the outcome of a movement started nearly twenty years ago by citizens of that place. It is nearly forty-three feet in height, with a ground base twenty-two feet square. The base of the monument rises about eleven'feet above this and the shaft is a magnificent piece of solid granite about ten feet in height. At the four corners of the base are bronze figures emblem­ atic of the four departments of the service--the cavalry, the artillery, the infantry and the navy. These are of heroic size. The sides of the monument bear appropriate bas-reliefs. Hill Monument, lUchutond. At Richmond, the ceremonies atten"dt ing the uqvelling of the Gen. A. P. Hill MARKET REPORTS, SOUTHERN.

The theft occurred between 1 and 6 p. m., when the propri­ etors with a full force of clerks were on the floor where the robbery occurred. CHARLES P. WOODBUBY, a banker at Ashlaad, Kan., had a mortgage on George Hall's farm which was long overdue. He made a flnial demand a few weeks ago for the interest, and Hall refused to pay.

At Gettj-»!>urg. "High-Water Mark" Monument re­ ceives its name from the old copse of scrub-oak trees on Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, where the Confederate army began its retreat on that fateful July 3. It was the "high-water mark" of the rebellion, and from the moment that Longstreet fell b^ck dates the de­ cline of the Confederate cause. The Monument Association has inclosed the copse of trees with a high iron fence to protect it from relic-hunters. The repulse. The whole rests on a highly polished plinth .and base of Maine and graaiwj with a massive water table of Gettysburg granite. The dedication services excelled in interest any that have yet taken place on the famous battle-field. The Hacklfy Gift BneoigepeA, At Muskegon, Mich., the soldiers* monument erected by Charles H.

Suppose that a lady of your acquaintance is at present in Vienna and you wish to send her a bouquet. It is very easily managed. You drop into a certain florist's on Broadway and pick Out flowers suitable for your posy. With- in two hours the bouquet you have selected is delivered to the Intended recipient. The florist has an agent or correspondent in Vienna to whom >4ie cables the order, stating the num­ ber of flowers of each kind, etc., and the name of the giver is written on a card and attached to the bunch of blossoms before it is conveyed to the address indicated. It is the same with . other cities in Europe and America.

An Intelligent Burman told me that a friend of his one day stumbled upon a nest of serpents and immedi­ ately retreated, but the old female gave chase. The man fled with all speed over hill and dale, dingle and glade, and terror seemed to add wings to his flight, tilt reaching a small' river he plunged In, hoping he had then escaped this flery enemy; but lo! on reaching the opposite bank, up reared the furious Hamadryad, its dilated eyes glistening with rage, ready to bury its fangs in his trem­ bling body. In utter despair he be­ thought himself of his turban, and in a moment dashed it upon rthe ser­ pent, which darted uponi it like lightning, and for some moments wreaked its vengeance in furious bites, after which it returned quietly to its former haunts.--Letter from India. ' • Matching Teeth. Perhaps the greatest difficulty that dentists meet with the matching of false teeth with the natural teeth of their customers. Tfhe,tooth factories supply dentists with rings upon which arc strung thin, short metal bars, each carrying a tooth at its extremi­ ty. There are twenty-Ave of these sample teeth, that run all the way from nearly white to a shade that is almost olive. Some one of the twen­ ty five usually almost matches the patient's natural teeth, and, at any rate, enables the dentist to match the teeth by application at the factory. A Sttgar-Beet Growers.

T.) dispatch says: The "dandelions" are on top to-day, aa much as Hill was on top in February. The purpose of that early convention was to give Hill a grand send-off. It was believed by iiim aud his near friends that a declaration by the Democracy of New York in his favor would be the In­ itiative of a movement that would land him in the Whit© House. Subsequent events proved the fallacy of this prom- lee. Hill was short-sighted, and the ladder on which he expected to climb to the chief magistracy gave way under his weight. When the. convention of to-day was called, Hill was politically prosperous. Sin^e then Hill's decadence has oc-, curred, and Cleveland's rise into new prominence has been equally quick. The conditions to-day are different from those, under which the t ali was issued. In fact, they were called into being by the February convention, and a pretext was eriven for the gathering of the dan­ delions now? The consequences of the action taken will probably drive both Cleveland «pd Hill out of the field and leave the wajj Olear ib nominate Russell or Pattisof) from the Efist or Boies or from tfe© -West, ..Unprejudiced- BOJWoii . ot^ej-vers of "long experience P?e*t|et Hk&k^'^e/"n6,'ttiin«tion will not come to:the Slate oi New tork. Everyone concedes the eminent re­ spectability of the delegates that assem­ bled, but old. hands, at the business of politics call it a mob that could not carry oh a campaign because of the lack of working element. Such comments, it should be stated, come mostly from Hill lookers-on. Chairman Kernan's speech as delivered was not at all the speech that had been mailed by the Press Asso­ ciation. ' The most savage of his thrusts at Hill did not appear in the written pages. There was no mention of him by name,J[e was ignored as tot illy as Cleve­ land was in the convent ion of February, which Kernan dubbed "the snovs'ioe Convention," but Hill's administration and his control oi the party were scored without mercy. "The delegates of the February convention," he declared, "will represent what a few men thought then, but the delegates from this convention to Chicago will represent what the peo­ ple want now." When he reached the climax of Cleveland, and for the first time mentioned his name, it was the Blaine convention of 1884 over again as much as apy t State convention could be with smaller numbeis.* The delegates sprang to their feet, mounted chairs, and shout }d themselves hoarse. Fairchild and Grace, from the platform, started the waves of applause with their umbrellas, and it was at least ten minutes before the speaker could go on. Another out­ break came when he made a demand that Cleveland should be nominated. This was a'step beyond the policy of the motet conservative, but apparently every one joined in the applause. The way was then easy for saying: "Democrat!? disputes will end at Chicago. New Yorkemoerats will accept the decision of the court as final." This sentiment was cheered to the echo, and it showed that the delegates were still loyal Demo­ crats. The platform adopted contains declarations against -Republican fraud, the tariff, vand free silver. RESULT OF A DRINK CURE.

The United States Weather Bureau records show that during the month of May rain fell in Chicago on no less than twenty-one days, and, as is believed by 99 per cent, of the population, the pre­ cipitation was rather; heavy every time. The rainfall for the month was 6.77 inches, a most remarkable record even for Chicago. A normal May precipita­ tion for the last twenty years is 3.82 inches, but the May just over put this far in the rear, not quite doubling the ordinary allowance.

Everybody in town yesterday was chattering about the Deacon verdict. He was not well known in town, and sympathy for him was of the sporadic kind. The opinion seemed to be that he had given himself away by his weakness in remarking that he deserved some pun­ ishment.
