A Speculation in Grain sacks

A few shippers and grain dealers in
San Francisco have bought up all the
grains sacks in that market, and also a
load of two million and half of sacks
to arrive. There are consequently none
to be had except what are in the hands
of this little clique of spectators.
They have made their corner, and now
they are putting up price Of grain sacks
to the California farmer, whose wheat
is thrashed and ready to be wagoned to
shipping point, and who must either
have sacks or lose his market. The
total number OF grain sacks held by
"the ring" is said to be fifteen million;
the price paid for them was from eight
and half to nine and a-half cents
each. The price at which they expect
to sell them is twelve cents each. II
they succeed in forcing the farmers to
buy on their terms, and there appears
but little doubt that they will, the
spectators, on an outlay Of 81 $50, 900
for few months, will make a profit Of
$3.50, 900.

AWANING HONEYMOON
Loves Crooked Meanderin8s-A Ne
tired J0OsMaiist IN Met by HIS
Wife with Butc her Knife.

tired Journalists IN Met BY HIS
Wife with a Hatcher Knife.
A retired journalist Of this city Is
wondering whether 1t Is true that
"true love never runs smooth. " II
true, then he most ardently desires
that the wife Of but few months had q
more loving way Of showing her true
love than by brandishing butcher
knives in his face.
The Journalist is yet but fresh from
the green hills Of Chester County which
is by no means an indication that he
aud the hills are OF the same color. He
came down TO the city, tat, plump, jolly
and good natured. When he laughed
bis $50 pound corporosity shook like q
bowl full ofjelly. But then he was alone
in the world and when he thought Of
his wifeiess and childless state, melan-
choly sighs escaped from the depths Of
his ipmOst soul.
This could not last long. He soon
found his affinity. Into her willing
ear he poured tales of untold wealth
and OF farms which he possessed In
Chester County. He had been the bo-
som friend OF Governor Hartranft and
had enjoyed lucrative positions under
the broad seal of the commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania and the signature Of her
Governor. Can it be wondered that he
woed and wonl
He listened to tales of houses and
bonds possessed by the jewel of his
soul who he could now call his 0wn.-
They were wed. Life to them was q
fairyland full Of singing birds and
beautiful flowers. Business was not
good, subscribers came in tardily for
the great weekly and business men
took their job printing to other offices.
The larder began to get low. The wed
ding garments got seedy. The h oney-
moon vanished in darkness. The Ches.
ter County farms being the property
of ethers yielded no revenue.
The houses in this city turned to
myth. %he paper was discontinued.
Want stared them in the face, and last
night when the husband went home to
meet his loving spouse, he was met At
the threshold Of his door with flashing,
angry eyes and brandished butcher
knife.
OF course he darkened not that door
again and now he is homeless but not
a wifeless wanderer again. He has an
idea that this is not exactly the way
that true love runs.

A Rich Californian Around Loose

A week or so ago gentleman named
Kelly, came from California, it is
stated, with large sum Of money. H.
says he has been at the mines for some
thirteen years, engaged in the business
of grocer. With his appearance here
there were floated around rumors to the
effect that he was anxious to buy an
eligible place on Market street, and
the McClary building was announced
as having fallen into his hands. Not.
withstanding other fabulous rumors Of
the same kind, it seems that his e1ten.
sive ideas have been confined to the
building lately occupied by Robert A.
Mcdonnell, on Market street below
Fifth, which he has leased, the lower
story Of which he is re.fitting. Instead
of inaugurating lottery. he will 70,
