wheat az Observation-Disclosures oisep'
fember Contracts.


The squeeze in wheat for Septeu Der
delivery was the great feature oil the
trade in commercial circles Friday. Not
withstanding the active feeling of two
or three days previous there was still out
= long line OF shorts, and the result was
a further advance in prices, which may
again be improved upon. A good deal
OF the wheat settled Friday at 81 1919
l II was bought away down in the nine
ties, and some OF the shorts were vlrtuous-
ly indignant at the fact that they had TO
pay desrly for The privilege of selling
wheat which they did not own. The
whole operation was vigorously de
nounced a. an artificial deal ETC., but
without affecting the condition of things.
The market had been largely oversold,
and the sales had to be Tiled.
1t would be interesting to know how
much the market at 81 II per bushel Is
higher than it would have been but Tor
the bearing process here before the new
crop began to move.
1t is estimated by well-informed par
ties that the September shorts on wheat
in this market aggregated about l,OOO,-
900 bushels last Thursday evening, and
that the quantity WAS reduced to
ABOUT 100000 bushels last Friday
night. 1t is probable that these are very
large over estimates, but we give them
for what they are worth. A very long
line was settled Friday, and there is
probably room for closing up the deal to-
day If the price be not put up too high.

WOMAN In THE WHITE HOUSE
The wives of the Presidents Who
Have Adorned Washington society.
Brooklyn Sunday Eagl,

Brooklyn Sunday Eagle.
The wives of the Presidents have in
every instance been ladies worthy Of the
position they occupied and in many
instances they have greatly adorned and
elevated it by the exercise OF their per-
sonal attributes. Mrs. John Adams was d
woman who even after this lapse of time
lives in the memory of this people as q
Spartan spirit of the Revolution; as q
character sufficiently strong and self
contained to have performed the duties Of
her husbands high Office, il the emer-
gency had demanded. Mrs. Madison was
social queen. In some particulars she
never had her equal among her country
women. Born Quaker and reared one,
marrying in her own faith, AMI living
during her husbands short lite, in the
exclusive society of her sect, she emerged
like a chryssllis into society lady after
her 1nioi with Mr.. Madison, the then
law student of Philadelphia.
Miss Lane had the strongest personal
influence of any of the lstter-day ladies
of the White House. She went to it a
blushing Dung girl OF great beauty, and
she left it the IDOL of Washington people;
and not only OF Washington people,
but of great numbers who had made her
acquaintance during the time of Mr..
Buchanan's Administration. She was
popular, because of her exceptional sweet
ness OF disposition and high bred, re-
fined ways. Her influence and power
were not exerted beyond the social king
dom in which she resigned supreme, be-
cause of her youth, and the fact that she
wss peculiarly situated, having no near
relative to share with her the position she
held and be in q sense her counselor.
But she made the domest lite of the
White House ideal in its delightiulness,
and she ranks in history with Mrs. Madi-
son in popularity, while she stands alone
in her unique place rs the first woman IN
America who, while occupying neither
the position OF wife or daughter, held the
first place in society as the representative
of the President.
Mrs Hayes is In no respect like Miss
Lane, ar d yet in certain ways she is her
immediate successor. Unlike Mrs. Grant,
she is an interested observer of public
affairs, and an ardent and interested actor
IN the events transporting about her. She
does not content herself with social duties,
nor yet does she ignore them. Like Miss
Lane, she is intently watchtul and care.
tul of the fame and name of the Chief
Magistrate and no act, however insig-
of itself, Is deemed too slight to
be considered if its results will add 10 the
better public understanding of his efforts.
Throughout the Northern and Eastern
trip she WAS received, with the other
ladies of the party, in the most respectful
manner, but 1t remained for Southern
audienc. to give her welcome in
specially complimentary way, and to pay
her husband honor by showing her
exceptional attention Her presence was
in every instance the signal for the
uplifting of hats and spontaneous well

CasSius NJ. Clay.
Mondays Enquirer.

Mondays Enquirer.
The latest unhappy encounter on that
dark and bloody ground about Rich
mond, KY, resulted, yesterday rning,
in the killing of negro by Hon. Casslus
M. Clay.
The circumstances, as detailed IN our
dispatch, show that it was, so far as con-
cerned MIR. Clay, one OF those calsmitous
affairs that may fall to the lot OF any
man. The man who was killed and his
mother had both been in the employ OF
Mr.. Clay at his farm, few miles from
Richmond. The man had been ordered
from the place ms an evil character, and
more recently the woman had been dis
charged for stealing. For these injuries
the young rutiian had sworn to
take the life of Mr.. Clay, to whom
these threats were conveyed, and, being
forewarned, he took the precautlon
to forearm. Yesterday morning the en-
counter came, and the old man, whose
life has been devoted to the cause OF
negro freedom, felt compelled, in SELL
defense, to take the lite of one of the
race for whose benefit he has so often
risked his own life. He is siXty-seven
wears of age to morrow, and therefore,
is i'll calculated TO receive an onslaught
from lusty young desperate otherwise
than with weapons. His courage is too
proverbial and his GOODNESS too often
tested to leave q doubt that be
would have taken the dread
alternative of killing except in an
extreme case of self-defense. He was
an Abolitionist when 1t required nerve
to be one, and he urged his tenets where
unfsiling nerve and courage were neces-
sary. 1t is related of him that on more
than one occasion when he delivered his
Abolition addresses in the midst of slsv-
ery he found it necessary first to draw
his apermit'' from his hip-pocket and lay
it cooked upon the table beside him. As
far back as 1915 he published an Adolf
ton paper in Kentucky. Once during
his illness the press was taken by mob
and shipped out OF the State, and warn-
ings were left for HIM not to restore it.
But he did restore it, ana maintained it.
To carry out these convictions of
his he had surrendered q most prom
lslnS career III tue olu ing parry
which had twice lifted him to office. But
the reward OF his constsncy and courage,
and the peril he had undergone, came in
1861, when he was sent as Minister to
st. Petersburg. In his later years he has
again shown courage snd principle, by
leaving the party in power, declaring
that its great purpose was accomplished,
and frankly declaring In favor of the
party of reunion and concilistion, when
1t was in an apparently hopeless minori-
ty. A man OF such metal Is not likely to
touch the trigger hastily or without
cause, even at bloody Richmond, and the
presumption OF blsmeless innocence will
rest on him 10 the public mind with n
force such as the law never dreamed OF
when it laid down this rule of presump-
tion for all cases.

BRAVE SERVANT GIRL.
Miss MaIlOts Terrible Struggle with
Burgiar-The Ruffian Fooled.

Chatham Banner.
About half-past two on Tuesday morn
ing, the house of Mr.. II. f. Cumming,
Victoria avenue, Chatham, Ont, was
entered by burglar, who made des-
perate attack on the housemaid, Miss
Levina Mallot. The fellow first tried TO
cut panel from the back door and eff
feet an entrance into the kitchen by this
means, but finding the job a slow one, he
tried the window of the outer kitchen,
cutting away the sash near the fastening.
This operation also failed, and he next
attacked window Of the main kitchen.
Breaking pane Of glass, he was able 10
reach the fastening and throw the win
dow open. Once inside, he opened an
other window to afford a means ofspeedy
exit, if necessary; and after securing q
large carving knife from the pantry, he
entered the girls bedroom, and succeed
ed in getting on the bed before awaken
ing her. He seized her by the throat,
pressing his hand firmly down to pre-
vent her from giving the alarm, and de-
manded TO know where Mr.. Cumming
kept his money. She replied that Mr..
Cumming did not keep money in the
house, and he then asked if she had any
money, or if there were no valusbles in
the house She said she had no
money, and knew nothing OF any yalua-
bles.
During the scuffle which was going on
during this time, the scoundrel had rope
tied in a moose, and the carving knife in
his hand, but when he was attempting to
get the rope over her head the girl caught
the knife and threw it beyond his reach.
Miss Mallot fought with the energy of
desperation, so brsvely and vigorously,
indeed, that the scoundrel was complete
ly toiled. She thinks the struggle must
have continued fully q quarter OF an hour,
and it is hard TO say what might have
been the result, rs her strength must
soon have failed in such u struggle, had
the wretch not been alarmed by some
noise outside, when he jumped up, and
pounding the poor girl severely shout the
face and breast. before making his exit
through the window, Once free she ran
up stairs and swoke Mr.. Cumming, and
the alarm was at once given, but no steps
were taken to trace the villain, and he
was doubtless far away before the police
were notified. During the struggle, the
girl tore off some buttons from the tel.
lows coat, and piece of the coat as
well.
