keokuk special says: The trial Of Bill
Young, for the murder Of Louis Spencer
and four children, closed in Kshaks,
Mi,sOuri, on Saturday, and resulted in
verdict VI not guilty. The elimination
Of the case, however, came to-day. The
circumstantial evidence was strong, bat
was weakened by the iiasoo Of detec-
tiye's evidence. Although Young was
acquitted, belief in bis guilt was very
decided among the citizens, and
they determined 10 lynch him.
On last Sunday afternoon Young
married Lydia Bragg, Of Ohio. and
Monday evening the couple arrived
here LeiOre going ~ Young's home.
As their trains passed through Kahakz
this morning Young and his wife
aligfrted and a mob oi 90 or 200 follow
ell on horseback and in wagons and
surrounding his house demanded his
surrender Young opened fire on the
mob and shots were exchanged until he
was wounded. Eight men then forced
their way into the house, took him oai
and hanged him. The excitement there
II intense and no further details received.

beIland and James; the civic societies,
whose members can not be estimated;
the fire department and the police; and
the private vehicles. Finally
EVERYTHING on WHEELS
in and about the city, and everybody
will be turned into the grand process
sion.
Two triumphal arches will be erected
for the econquering hero and his followers
to pass under. One, which, it is pro-
posed, shall be an exact copy OF the one
which figured at Rome at the triumph
OF Septima Seyerus, is to he
erected across State street IN
front OF the Palmer House. The arch is
to be sixty-two feet high, 10 be sur
mounted with symbolical figures, and to
bear picture OF General Grant himself,
and the inscription: "Firsti in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts OF thy
countrymen. Receive a nations graft
tude." What the symbolical figures to
crown the arch shall represent has not
vet been determined upon, but II is sug-
gested that for one of the smaller arch
WAYS at the side OF the great arch tig
ure OF Justice, bindfOlded and holding
one hand behind her; for the
other side arch-way, representation
OF Liberty in the act of sinking to the
ground, transfixed with bayOnet; while
To crown the great arch group repre-
sehting Bachus, seated. with cigar IN
his mouth and surrounded with Satyrs,
whose faces should be made to resemble
several gentlemen well known in pOliti-
cal life some three or four years ago,
would be lust the thing. Something
original and striking like this would tes-
tify the gratitude of the Grant boom
committee To the hero OF the triumph.
In the evening the
ADDRESSES or WELCOME
to the distinguished guest will
be heard from the stage
OF Haverley's Theatre. The
Hon. f. NB. WashbuTneE u has been
selected TO speak on behalf of the whole
people, Gov. Cullom on behalf OF the
people of the State and Mayor Harrison
on behalf OF the people Of Chicago. To
all which Gen. Sherman will respond on
behalf OF the army OF the Tennessee.
Space is to be reserved in the centre
of the stage for Generals Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan and other army
officers. On the afternoon oil November
18th Gen. Grant will receive callers
in the Palmer House parlOrs and at
$50 P. NJ. the society and its guests
will take seats at the banquet
tsbles in the three connecting dining
rooms. The regular toasts will be four
teen in number, and those who are
booked for responses are Gems. Grant,
sherman, Garfield, WoOdford and Pope,
and Col Bob Ingersoll and Mark
Twain. No wonder that the hearts of
tine Grant "boOm" committee are glad,
and that the public's enthusiasm is
wrought to a lofty pitch. Doubtless the
enthusiasm OF the one will presently be
higher, and the hearts OF the other glad
der, for we read that the committee has
decided to begin at once the systematic
solicitation OF funds to defray the eX-
penSes Of the demonstration.

New YORK, October 29.-The Post
says: We yesterday noted rumor Of
the harmonizing OF the hitherto con-
tiicting interests of the Vanderbilt sys-
TEN OF roads and the managers of the
newly organized Wabash system. We
find that an arrangement is nearly per-
fected, if not already, to which on one
hand will secure To New York Central
and Lake Shore all the business, or the
bulk OF il, which the Wabash system of
roads can collect and bring to Toledo,
and on the other hand will secure to the
Wabash all the southwestern business
of Vanderbilt's roads. The Erie will
certainly profit by the advanced rates
which the arrangement will secure.

GOLDEN GRAIN.
Operations I'm the Chicago Mar
ket-Generally Lower Prices
Ruling.

CHICAGO, October 29.-There was less
doing in the local markets, to-day, and
the feeling was somewhat steadier, the
fluctuations not being so frequent and
so severe as was the rule last week. The
result was lower prices all around, from
provisions through the entire range OF
breadstuffs into seeds and hogs, and
shipping cattle falling into the down
ward turn. The markets were all weak
at the outset, improved toward
noon, and were reasonably steady
during the last hour of Change,
but turned downward in the afternoon
rather severely, and most OF them closed
weak. The market for December wheat
opeeed at about 81 III, which was &c de-
cline. 1t went down TO 81 III under
the influence of the English kilograms
setting forth dullness on the other side,
some of the cables noting lower range
OF quotations. The posting OF the weekly
statement OF grain in store also showed
an increase of 100000 bushels in our
stock during last week, and kilograms
from Philadelphia and Baltimore showed
even a worse condition of things than
noticed yesterday, &c per bushel being
paid in the former city for carrying wheat
through the month of November,
and &c for the same service in
Baltimore. The movement from this
city was slow, as for several days past,
and everything points to a regular block
ade at the principal receiving cities dur
ing the winter. Under this market went
down as above stated, but the decline
brought out buyers, and prices improved
TO 81 ISL, fell back toSl Is, advanced to
81 l9!, and closed on Change at 81 l9i.
Then the figure in the afternoon turned
down to 81 l7s, which was &c below the
last price of Monday. The market for
November was rather sly at 2(G2ic be-
low December There was very little
demand for spot, No. 3, and it was only
wanted for carrying purposes at sole
below November, according to the date

WASHINGTON.
SECRETARY SHERMAN'S SHOCKING
MEMORY
Two Statements Concerning Cornell Which
Don't Appear to COnsist-A Fair
HoIiday-AII Ohio Men.
Bad Lapse of Memory.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-There is a
good deal OF surprise among Secretary
Sherman's friends that, in reply to an
interruption, while delivering his speech
in New York, last night, as to why he
removed Cornell, as Naval Officer of
New York, he should have replied that
in his removal there was nothing re-
flecting upon his (Cornell's) integrity or
official conduct. This reply can only
be excusable on Secretary Sherman's
part either on the ground that he has a
defective memory, or thinks that
the reading public has. When
Conkling was endeavOring 10 pre-
vent the confirmation of the person Sc
lected by Sherman to succeed Cornell,
he wrote letter, as chairman OF the
Committee on Commerce, demanding to
know on what grounds the administra-
ton sought COrnelrs removal. This
was replied to by Secretary Sherman to
the effect that Cornell was removed be-
cause OF the reports OF n.aladmlnlstra-
ton of the office, as set forth in the re-
port OF the Jay Commission, and be-
cause he (the Secretary had reason to
believe that there was not that eff
cheney under both Collector Arthur and
Cornell which was desired by the Treas
ury Department.
A Fair Holiday.
All public and private business was
ntermitted here to-day, 1t being the in
iaugural day of the National Fair under

dull one in point OF news interest.
All Ohio Men.
General AnsOn G. McCOOk, member
of Congress of New York, has been
selected by the Executive Committee of
the Army of the Cumberland as the
orator of the day on the occasion of the

McCOOk is by birth an Ohio man,
although a New York Congressman. All
of the Executive Committee are Ohio
men as well as Stanley Matthews, who is
also to deliver an Grafton on the Occa-
sion
