From information received from one Of 'th

decrease Of Is cents bushe1; the first is under
the old tariff, and the second under the Ma
tional policy. In Mag, 1878, the average pric'
paid was S1.12. In May, 1879, only 9S cents,
decrease under the National policy Of Il cent!
per bushel. The reason assigned for the de
crease by the millers is, that, under the new
tariff, the duty on barrel OF manufactured
flour is less than on the quantity Of wheat
requisite to make barrel OF flour; as conse.
quence, the Canadian miller has to reduce
the price of Canadian wheat in order to compete
with American -four.

AMURDER MYSTERY.

ST. LOUIS No., June 28.-At very late hour
last night 1neagre information was received here
that Mrs Agnes Dieckmann, wife Of William
Dleckmaun, farmer living at Bluff Ridge, St..
Louis County, about. twenty miles from the
city; had been very mysteriously murdered in
bed early yesterday morning. Tonight addf-
tional information is received, but nothing
which clears up the mystery, or fastens the decd
upon anybody. 1t appears that William DECK
mann left home about o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and came to st. Louis to sell some farm
products, leaving bis wife in bed, md Joseph
Steckli, neighbor who had helped him prepare
for market in the morning. at his house. Some
three hours later Fred Schoyer, brother Of
Mrs. Dieckmann, called at the house, where be
touD Steckli aud q negro man named Lyle,
who we're going to cut wheat for Dicckmann,
and, not finding his sister up he and Stecxli
went to her roG1:l. and found her dead in bed,
with the remnant Of an old calico dress on,
builct-hole lu her forehead, another just behind
the left ear. and still another In the neck,
several slight cuts on the head and
neck, and the bed saturated with blood. Intense
excitement followed the discovery. ESQUIRE
Ravens was notified. a Coroner's jury summoned,
and testimony taKcn but no evidence Has elicit
ed duplicating any one as the perpetrator Of the
deed. Dieckmann returned home during the
afternoon, hut could throw no licht on the mys-
tory; he expressed belief, however, that Steck-
ii committed the murder, aud the latter was
a rested: DietkmaEn was also arrested, and
Doth lodged in jul. Mrs. Diecl1lnaun's infant,
about year old, Was found nearly s,nothered
in the he'd With its murdered mother.
The deepest mystery surrounds the whole
affair, and the inquest will be continued until a
thorough investigation is made.

HANhAN-COuRTNEY.

The great boat race that has absorbed
the world for the past few weeks, rs well
as the "spare change OF the sporting
fraternity, wound mp with an ingloriOus
fizzle, yesterday, by IIANLAN pulling
over the course without competitor,
and pOcketing the stakes.
An act Of vandalism deprived COURT
My Of his craft, as was discovered just
before the time set for the race. His
boat, the one made specially Tor the
race, and in which hc hal trained for it,
and upon which only hc could rely with
any assurance in a contest SO evenly
balanced, was found to have been cutin
twain, and thus all possibility OF repair
was out Of the question.
His competitor generously rendered
him his choice Of four Others, but it was
a generosity that CoUErNEY could not
prudentlv accept under the circum-
stances. BOatmen know that there is 4
difference in the time OF any two boats
constructed even by the same artisan
and upon the same pattern. That diff
ference might and probably would have
lost him the race. lie could not afford,
at that time, 10 spend his strength in
test Of a new and untried boat. He
could not ailorl to start out in such a
contest i'm a craft with which he was not
familiar.
II was harl prcdjcamcnt for Court
NEY. He met it in the only fair and
manly manner that was open to him.
He asked for an extension Of time Suili-
cient to equip himself for the race. The
referee also rendered his decision, hard
as it seems, in accordance with rules
which goyern in his position. lie had
nothing to do with accidents or miSior-
fortunes 10 the contestants. His only
province was to call them at the hour
appointed, start them fairly, and
Judge between them at the
outcome OF the race. That
COURTNEY did not respond to his call
was all the referee could act upon; that
HANLAN went over the course and came
out in advance OF any visible competitor,
was sufficient from the standpoint Ofthe
referee to entitle him to the stakes.
Thus endeth this chapter, administer
ing the cup of Oblivion to high eNPecta-
tons OF sport, and higher dreams OF
gain among an immense multitude who
have spent their money and taken their
choice, all TO no profit.
