TERRIBLE TRADGEDY.
At Bloomington, ILL.,, Oct. 90, William
Hogg one of the oldest and most respectable
citizens of that place but a most eccentric
man, who has recently been unfortunate
in business, returning home at noon,
shot his daughter Mary aged eighteen
In the parlor, called his son Willie,
aged twelve who was playing in the yard and
fired pisto! shot through his head, then
stepped into the woodshed, placed the weapon
to his own head and fired. The ball lodged
in his brain and he fell upon the floor, where
he was soon found by the passers by in
pool of blood. Mary and her father are dead
but the son, although severely wounded, is
likely to recover Hogg recently married his
second wife, She went to Norwoll the morning
of the tragedy and thus probably escaped
like fate. Later. The physicians say both
the children are in a critical condition with
little hope of recovery of either. Hogg died
soon after the shooting, never becoming con-
seious The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
in accordance with the facts.
THE UTE WAR.
Gen. Sheridan at his headquarters in
Chicago, Oct, Is received dispatch from
Leavenworth stating that nothing additional
had been heard from Col. Morrow, who is af-
ter Victoria's band of Indians in Southern
New Mexico. Although Gen. Sherman has
| refused to issue rations to volunteers at Colo
| RADIO and vicinity, it is believed they are in
| sufficient force to meet Victoria with success.
Morrow has already reported that he had
plenty of men, so that repetition of the White
| River disaster need not be feared. Gen. Sheri-
dan has been directed by Gen. Sherman to
withdraw the troops under Gen. Merritt and
| order them to their proper stations, leaving at
the White river agency only sufficient mum
Der of men to guard the government property.
The troops now at White river agency be.
| long to the department of the Platte and
! will under this order. with the exception OF
| those left at the agency, return to their re.
| spective stations in that department. A force
| will be concentrated at some point on the
Southern Ute reservation, to conduct opera
| tons against that tribe. Should they fail to
! deliver up the parties engaged in the killing
| of Major Thornburg, Gen. Mckenzie, com.
handing the Fourth cavalry will probably be
placed in charge of the latter force.
| ENGLISH GRAIN.
The Mark Lane Erpress Of tho 14th inst
says: Agricultural advices are still most dis
couraging. Quantities Of wheat and barley
still in the field are deteriorating from
sprouting, damp and disooloration. Turnipa
and potatoes are badly diseased. Hops are
total failure. In many of the best districts
In Kent preparations for autumn ploving are
retarded by the division of labor, in conse-
quence of the anxiety of farmers to get some
Of the present harvest to market while high
prices are current. The supplies marketed
show an increase, bnt are mostly unfit fol
milling. Such as are in good condition
readily brought two shillings advance. The
best lots Of mailing barley realized forty two
to fifty shillipgs. Most of tho new crop ID
badly disoolored.
Arrivals in London Of all articles excep,
oats have been moderate. Last Monday
list showed only about $4,000 quarters OF
foreign wheat, chiefly American and sub
sequent imports up to Friday amounted to
81, 120 quarters. Prices again favored sellers
to tho extent of fully two shillings at the b.
ginLin of the week, but with only retail
demand at the advance, as large millers and
speculAtors hesitated to follow tho rise
which, during the past few days, has been
maintained with difficulty. Fine American
reds and such varieties of white wheat as
could be used in tho place of English wheat
have been in fair request, but it is probable
Russian descriptions will shortly come in
favor when tho supplies Of home
grown increase, a. tho condition
Of new crop is sure to necessitate largo
admixture of hard foreign wheat to render
it suitable for milling.
| There has been no excitement In the
trade, neither have tho weeks sales been
large, but steadiness prevailed, as sellers
were by no means impatient to realize tho
recent market rise in the price while it has
not served to unsettle the opinions Of hold
ers, as it is due to the most perfectly legiti.
mate influence that can effect values, namely
supply and demand. As far % can be seen
at present there appeared to be no valid
reason why wheat should not advance an
other five shillings. Business still rests on
| q firm basis, although it must be admitted
that increased supplies of home gro wn wheat
will probably check the advance temporarily.
Maize attracted good deal Of attention,

been enabled to establish an advance of q
shilling on the week. Grinding barley,
beans and peas moved quietly az former
rates. The continued heavy supplies Of oats
again reduced prices three to six pence.
Wheat for shipment has been in large re
quest, and extensive business was done,
principally in California and red winter
American at > shilling advance. Calcutta
descriptions also participated In tho ad-
vance. Arrivals Of grain laden vessels off
| the coast have been small.
Wheat has been in good request and ad-
vanoed q shilling to eighteen pence, but the
limited choice restricted business. Maize
ruled firm at si1penoo advance. There has
been very large though somewhat irregular
business transacted in forward wheat, espe-
cially red winter, and for which quotations
indicate IN advance Of fully . shilling.
Maize met with fair inquiry at steady prices
for cargoes on passage and for prompt ship
ment, but for November and December IN
advance Of nix pence was paid. Sales Of
