About a year ago the courts de-
cided that the law Incorporating the
town of Seattle was unconstitutional,
and the government of the city is in a
precarious condition. A number of
business men have petitioned for the
reorganization of the city under the
general act passed at the last Legis-
lature. A bill is also in Congress,
and likely to pass, to legalize and con
firm the present charter. The case is
also in the Supreme court of the Ter
ritory, to set aside the decision OF the
District,eourt annulling the old char
ter. 1t is claimed that the city is slS,-
600 in debt, and getting deeper all
the time.

Il Serious Rttna,rau.

A farmer, named Boyce, left his team I'M
tied while he went into Woods hardware
store, on Nicollett avenue, yesterday after
noon. The horses thinking this would be a
good time to run away, started down Nicol-
let on run; at the corner of Third street
one attempted to go one way and one the
other, the wagon and one horse was thrown
in the basement of the Fishburn & Harring
building, which was occupied by D. D..
Whitney as trunk mandatory, breaking
several sample trunks which were standing
outside, and making quick work Of the win
dow glass. The horse was raised from the
basement by "derrick," and was found to
be seriously cut in the leg, and will probably
have to be killed.
Mr.. Nelson Williams, who assisted in get
ting the horse on the ground, received in
juries of a serious nature, but it is hoped
that they will not result fatally.

week ending last night show a decided falling Off
chiefly at winter wheat statons-and We figure the
total as 900 bushels against 3671 900 bushels
week ago, or decrease of Al 900 bushels. New
York, Baltimore and Philadelphia have received dur
ing the week 4,15O GOO bushels, increase Of 1885,
600 bushels. The exports from these three points
are the largest ever known being $685. 600 bushels
and Notwithstanding this outward movement our
stock in sight has increased about 100000 bushels.
FROM the Northwest we learn that farmers have been
generally stacking their wheat the disappointing
movement from that section giving confirmation to
this report. Itremains to be whether this &C.
ton on the part of farmers is due to their unwilling
ness to accept current prices to the belief that
the quality of the grain will be improved by allowing
TO pass through the sweating before
Charles Rugel we learn that he considers Kains
JacEsons estimate to the probable yield of 1878 in
France as too low, claiming that Mr.. Jackson trav-
eled through the districts most of France His
own estimate of the probable yield, reduced to BUSH
els, is about 266 900, while Kains Jacksons figures
are 1877 ,000,u00 Form the source we clip the
following brief summary of the crops on the con-
tInent: Germany, Belgium and Holand--In all
these countries there is general satisfaction with the
harvests Austria and Hungary-Atogether the
harvest satisfactory, but the wheat gives yield be-
low the average in quantity. The quality has suf-
fered by the rains and falling. Russia-The harvest
OF the government will be nearly double that OF last
year. which considered very good, judging from
the samples we have seen, without reference to the
quantity the quality is excellent In Bessarabia it is
abundant" The discount on cash No. spring
wheat in market has increased to lie per bushel
and our stock of this grade is accumulatrg. Weare
still of the opinion that the production of 1878 is in
excess of consumers needs, and that time will demon
strate it. The superior quality of our winter wheat
will certainly commend it to shippers and render it
unlikely that spring will be taken freely long
the former can be had at the present small premium.
Cash wheat at s6Mc with intermediate charges l6hc,
would cost 81 03 alongside ship With sail freights

1t will be seen that the contractors are
putting the submerged pipe across the east
channel down below what should be the sur
face of the water, to depth of about four
feet. The GLOBE would call the attention of
the water commissioners to the fact that
quite considerable portion of the bed of
the east channel is entirely out of water
during the winter months, and would ask, in
the interest of public economy, how it is
proposed to prevent the water from freezing,
and thus shutting off the supply from the
East Side? Certainly it will be we'll to be
certain that the large main is amply pro
tected, for when it is once across, and the
mains extended, The water will come to be
the chief reliance for extinguishment of fires
as we'll as for domestic use.
