ST. PAUL, August 2, 1877


PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS
The weeks business has not been as large
in the aggregate as that Of the week before
although several days have been busy ones.
At the moment trade in produce is rather
quiet. Most OF the buyers who depend upon
this market for goods appear to be temporar-
lily supplied, and shipments are in conse-
quence reduced. Values are mostly I'M
changed, while stocks of seasonable commod
tiles are not increasing to any appreciate
extent
FLOUR-The eastern order trade has yet
hardly recovered from the panic caused by
the railroad strikes, and regular business is
not fully resumed. A few lots imperatively
ordered to be forwarded forthwith were sent
by way of Duluth, with what success is as vet
unknown. Most of the shipments on regular
orders for consumption will go by rail from
this point We now quote ordinary to good
xxx 81 % for large lots and $3.50 for small
the small sales including the daily transac-
tons with city and local dealers. Some brands
of XXXX flour are firmly held and are selling
at 81 10, and in small lots at $500. Inferior
qualities are nominal; with some sales ofXXA
at Sc 15d6.50. Indian flour is not now in de-
mand Bolted corn meal is quoted at 81 .409
$50 Of 100lbs. Rye -four is scarce and quotable
at 50. 1898. 90 If sack.
WHEAT-Receipts are small, as farmers
are busy in the harvest field, and prices are
entirely nominal w hat W heat Is now arrlv-
ing was bought long ago, at interior stations,
at much better prices than it would now
fetch. The accounts from the new crops are
scarcely SO favorable as last week, but are
cheering nevert heless. No new depradations
OF grasshoppers are reported, the prayers OF
the ighteous having seemingly avalled to rid
the State OF these voracious pests. But the
hot and dry weather has done some dolnage,
though nothing really affective. Aconsidera-
bic amount of W heat that was not sufficiently
matured has been shrunken and will be off
weight, while considerable other amount
will be reduced in quality from No. to No
2. On the whole, however, the weather OF the
week has been favorable to wheat farmers,
and the crop will be large in quantity, and
mainly superb in quality, II the harvest
weather continues favorable. But farmers
should remember their sad experience OF two
years ago, and stack their grain at once. so as
to keep it out OF the way OF Jupiter Iluvlus.
The following are the quotations OF No. 2

FAIR DEALING DEMANDED.-The
New York Graphic Republican, does
not attempt to conceal its disgust at the
action of the Louisiana returning board
in refusing to answer the questions OF
the Congressional Investigating Com
mittee. The Graphic declares that
there is no question that in the present
temper of the public mind it was I'M
wise and unpolitic. It at once raises the
suspicion that these gentlemen have
something they want to hide from the
public knowledge. When four men set
their backs squarely against closed
door, refusing to tell what it contains OF
to open it, people naturally forget all
questions of legality and dignity, and
conclude that skeleton is hid inside
What the people of both parties want is
the simple truth about this election bu-
siness. If Mr.. Hayes is fairly elected
the facts will show it, and any attempt,
under any plea whatever, to hide the
facts from the public knowledge will
only deepen the shadow of suspicion
under which he will enter on his great
office and increase the difficulties of his
arduous position. Neither party can
now afford to do anything that has not
the appearance Of being fair and above
board"

JUDGE BLACK ON THE SITUATION
The Baltimore Gazette, in its account OF
an interview with Judge Black, reports
the Judge as saying that he had no doubt
of the result of the Presidential ques-
ton; that if the Senators and Repre-
sentatives of the people were firm in
their determination to resist the con-
templated fraud on the part of the Re-
publican conspirators their designs could
not be accomplished. He said that il
had been reported that Morton had said
the Democracy had no spunk. He
thought he would find himself mistaken.
He thought anyway the Democracy had
the best of the position. If the Repub.
icans decided not to go behind the re-
turns then Tilden was elected. If they
decided otherwise Tilden was still elect
ed, and If the election went to the HOUSE
he would be successful. He was salts
fed that in the face of the facts the con
spiracy to count in Hayes could not sue
coed. He was in favor of every resist
ance and confident that all would come
right in the end. He thought military
despotism was preferable to rotten re-
public controlled by such men as had
for so long misgoverned the country
They seemed to govern on the principle
of the might of men instead of the
rights of men, and it was the duty o
every patriot to resist their nefarious de
signs.

MR.. BENEFITS ENGAGEMENT WITH
Miss MAY BROKEN OFF.-The mar
age of Miss Caroline May to Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett, the proprietor of the
Herald, was to have been solemnized
to- day by his Eminence, Cardinal Nc
Closkey. Mr.. Bennett had desired that
the marriage should not be public dis
play, and Miss May concurred. 1t was
agreed that the couple should sail for
England just after the marriage, and
staterooms richly arrayed for the bridal
party had been engaged. Mr.. Benefits
orders were that the rooms for himself
and wife should be charmingly comfort
able. A short stay in London and then
in Paris was fixed upon. The return to
New York was to be signalized by re-
ception that might eclipse all others in
this city. Miss May was recently star
tied by the whispers that were heard all
along the fashionable avenues in regard
to NJ. Benefits habits. There could
be no happiness in union with Mr..
Bennett, she fancied, and she frankly
told him so; and by mutual agreement
the engagement was broken off, Mr..
Bennett frankly acknowledging that his
behavior warranted Miss Mays decision.
Miss May received from Europe her bri.
dial trOusseau, and had been congratu-
lated by a great many admirers upon
her prospective nuptials.-Ne,0 York

May, Mr.. Frederick May, a native OF

Deaths Harvest.

BURNED IN THE ASHTABULA CREEK.
We have published some particulars
of this great calamity, but venture to
add the following graphic description:
CLEVELAND, Dec. S1.-Enough is now
known of the terrible accident near Ash
tabula on Friday night to say that two
out of every three passengers on board
the ill-fated train persisted. Of the one
hundred and sixty passengers only fifty
nine can be accounted for. The disaster
was dramatically complete no element
of horror was wanting. First, the crash
Of the bridge, the agoniZing mopents OF
suspense as the seven laden cars plung-
ed down to the icy bed of the river then
came the fire to destroy all who had
been left alive by the crash; the water
gurgled up from beneath the ice and Of
fered another form of death, and finally
the biting blast, filled with snow, froze
and benumbed those who had escaped
water and fire. 1t was an ideal tragedy.
The scene of the horrible accident was
the valley of the creek which, flowing
down past the eastern margin OF Ashta-
bula village, passes under the railway
300 or 400 yards east of the station. Here
for many years after the Lake Shore
road was built there was long wooden
trestlework, but when the road was i'm.
proved, about ten years ago, this was SUI
perseded with an iron Howe truss, built
at the Cleveland shops, and resting at
either end upon high stone piers, flank
ed by heavy earthen embankments.-
The iron structure was single span OF
159 feet, crossed by double track, &c
feet above the water, which at that point
is from three to six feet deep, and cover
ed with eight inches of ice. The descent
to the valley OH either side is precipitous,
and as the hills and slopes are piled
with heavy drifts of snow there was no
little difficulty in reaching the wreck
after the disaster became known.
A NEGRO HERO.
When the train fell the sleeping-ca1
Palatine, the last of the train, went
down near the eastern abutment, strik-
ing upon the top of another sleeper and
rolling over on its side. Steward, the
colored porter of the Palatine, succeeded
in raising window and escaping. He
Immediately set to work stamping on
the other windows, thus breaking them
in so that the passengers could get out
By this means he rescued all the pas.
sengers in his car, some twenty in num-
Der, with the exception of one, who was
sick and unable to help himself. When
Steward discovered this man he called
on the others to stay and help him.
Only woman and one man, apparently
i'll, stayed to assist him, however, and
Steward, with their aid, succeeded in
getting his man out, thus rescuing every
man under his charge.
Young Nusbaum, of New York, who
was injured in the head, is dead. Nc
other deaths are reported among the
wounded brought to Cleveland.
