REMARKS.
The first half Of the month was cool and
wet, and the.la hot and dry The mean
temperature Of the first fifteen DAYS was a
fraction short OF sixty-txo degrees; the re-
manning fifteen ran up to near seveny-cigkt
degrees, and the month enc degree below the
mean for thirty-fou years. be-
AL the rain fell previous To the 10th. The
amount was not much above the average,
hsIt the showers were frequent.
The month closed with high thermal
range, creating cheated term," resembling
that Of two years since.
The summer Gains sl.cked off oarlief than
usual This was anticipated, from the fact
that but little snow had fallen in the noun
tains during the winter. Former olsserva-
ticns pointed TO such results The data OF

Satn ~,

The Money market to-day is quite active, but
the demand is chiefly from the stock dealers, to
whom money is freely offered as low as per
cent, subject to call. Some of the large houses
are now borrowing on time at per cent, which
indicates lively time in the Stock market.
Discounts remain quiet and easy as usual, at
about cor per cent. for good names.
The gold market is depressed by reason of
the Increased demand for our securities abroad
and the advance in prices. Another cause ope-
rating in the same direction is the probable
reduction in the taxation of the country, which
has a direct tendency to depress gold. The
market opened this morning at 1895. SO
Gold is very quiet this morning, and the range
of the premium is between 119 and 1895. 90

to the convexity of the sphere. From
these explanations, it will be seen that
the invention consists in employing hollow
ported inside, operating in pneumatic tubes.
The tubes may be placed under or over ground,
but better over, raised some fifteen feet in the
air, and supported on posts or piers. Wood is
the best material with which to construct the
tubes; it would not expand and contract with
the heat and cold ike iron, while 1t would be
far cheaper. Narrow plank, tongued and
grooved, properly seasoned and saturated, the
Joints cemented, would furnish the best kind of
material. By system of way stations and
relays of power at proper distances the lines of
tubes can be made to connect the towns and
cities of the entire country, effectlng rapidly
and cheaply transportation to and from all parts
of IL

ANOTHER CHICAGO TRAGEDY.
A whole Family Poisoned - The Mother and
One of the Children Dead,

A whole Family Poisoned - The Mother and
One of the Children Dead.
From the Chicago Times, February II. .r
The people living in the vicinity of South
Halsted and Lake streets were startled yester-
day by the report that one of their neghbors
bad murdered his entire family. An investiga-
ton of the rumor developed thr following facts
At the house, No. A Lake street, lived Aaron
Beckner, aged ffty-four years; Anna, his wife,
aged thirty-seven years; Elizabeth his daughter,
aged four years, and an infant son. Early on
yesterday morning, the milkman called usual
but on knocking at the door he was unable
to arouse any of the inmates, whereupon he
drove away. At l2 o'clock yesterday noon,
Officer Barnes who had just come on duty,
was told by little girl that Mr.. Beckners
family were all dead. He hastened to the house,
and on entering the room he found Mrs. Anna
Beckner lying dead on the bed, and the little
girl lying dead beside her. Across the foot of
the bed lay the infant boy, the only live person
in the room. The officer was then told that Mr..
Beckner had gone to the milkmans, and he at
once started to arrest him, which he did, but 1t
required the help of four other men and an ex-
press wagon to bring him to the house. Beck
ner then made q statement to the effect that on
Tuesday evening the family had partaken OF
barley Cruel for supper; that during the night
the three others were taken sick; that he
vomited considerably, and that his wife
seemed in terrible agony; that about o'clock
on Wednesday morning Mrs. Beckner and the
girl Lizzie expired, and that he was sick and
suffering so badly that he could not alarm the

was found living on the floor, but she was mo-
where to be found. 1t seems certain that the
unfortunate woman, distracted with grlet at the
loss of her husband, waited until the Hudson
came alongside, and then, when the remains of
her beloved were nearest her, plunged into the
Ohio and buried her grief beneath the dark
waters. Mr.. Limebaugh has been very unfortu-
nate of late. The husband of his eldest daugh-
ter was accidentally shot and killed at Spring
field, Ohio, about six weeks ago. A few days
ago another son-in-law was killed, and, as If to
crown his sorrows, the daughter herself has now
committed suicide. These calamities, occur
ring in such quick succession, have completely
Drostrated him.
