BURGLARY.
One OF the most daring and success
tul bnrglaries was perpetratcd at Maiden
Rock, Wis, on Friday night June 81,
that was ever known to that quiet
little burg. Some time during the night
burglars entered the dry goods store
OF Trumbull & Hara by prying OIL the castings
OF the back door. Once inside the polished
Williams proceeded to open the safe by profess
sional means, namely, by experimenting upon
the combination, as shown by tally sheet
found upon the premises the following morn
ing, and BY which they succeeded in opening
it, and took thcrcfrom over $4,000 in current
funds; after which they quictly took few
cigars from an open box on the shelf, and as
quietly took their departure, not leaving even
trace behind by which they might be tracked,
Tn, 1v;o of e.,
plished in such q mysterious manner, it is
evident that it was done by experts or some
one familiar about the premises
THE sP1NNERs' STRIKE.
Fall River, Mass, telegram, June 25:
The great struggle between the manufacturers
and spinners begins tomorrow. The general
opinion is that the manufacturers will win
though the spinncrs affirm they will make it
costly victory. The manufacturers held
meeting in the board of trade room this after
noon to decide whether or not to attempt to
run the mills. All agreed it would be the
wiscst course to continue running. Most of
the mills paid the spinners today in full, and
others will do so tomorrow. One mill super.
intcndcnt told his spinners as they were paid
today to look elsewhere for employment, as
in future 20 male spinners would be employed
at that mill. He also told them they must ya.
cate their tencmcnts next week, as he had
spinners to take their places. Some few mills
had enough filing ahead to run few weeks.
while others are worked close up
REIGN OF TERROR in RUSSIA.
Gen. Ghourko is said to have expelled
from st. Petersburg no fewer than 10000 per-
sons unprovidcd with passports, and accord
ingly not entitled to live in the Capital. A
similar expulsion has taken place at Odessa
and in other large towns placed under mill
tary control. By a decree of the Minister of
the Interior, vagrants beggars, and people
without visable means of substance, instead
OF being sent to their native places as hithcr
to, will hcnccforth be bundled off to Siberia
or, as it has been called, Nihilaria. A few
weeks ago, Count Nicolai Koskool, who is
connected with the leading families in st.
Petersburg, went on journey to Germany,
and the afternoon following his return he left
his house with the intention of visiting his
solicitor. Nothing has been heard of him
since, and all endeavors to trace his where
abouts have proved fruitless. The Count was
an extremely wealthy young man, OF regular
habits. The supposition is that he has been
kidnapped by the Nihilists as hostage on be-
half of the rcvolutionists condemned to death
at kiev koskool is near connection of Gen.
Ghourko. The Nihilists already have one
such hostage, Gen. Wahl, Governor of Khar
kov, who was spirited away the day after he
assumed charge OF Krapotkin's duties. Re-
Gently the Government received letter from
him, saying his captors were about to hang
him as reprisal for the execution Of Dubro
vim.
ENGLISH GRAIN
The Mark Lane Erpress saws wheat
promises but fairly on mixed and light soils
and the condition Of the crop on heavy lands
causes we'll founded apprehensions The gen.
eral aspect of the country is almost a month
behind hand. The quiet order in the grain
trade the past week was in great measure
due to the continuance of large imports as
well as slight amelioration OF the weather.
The arrivals for London to Friday amounted
to 5S!OOO quarters, principally from North
Russian ports. The deliveries at the princi-
pal country markets indicate that farmers
hold far more abundant reserves than was
expected. The depressing influence of these
dellverisc counteracted any apprehension of a
deficient English harvest, and prices are un-
changed. The demand for all classes of wheat
has been limited, apparently in consequence
Of the belief by buyers that the lowest point
has not yet been reached. There has been
some slight exception In favor of American
WheatS which were rather activo1x dao1< T.,
