FOREIGN NEWS.
FOREIGN GRAIN MARKET.

LONDON, June 14.-The Mark Lane Er
pre-, says both wheat and barley, especial
ly the latter, have improved greatly during
the past fortnight. Warmer weather ii
still wanted. Deliveries OF English wheat
at the principal towns continue about
halt OF those of the corresponding time
last year. The offerings at Mark Lane are
also quite unimportant and trade is quiet
Holders, however, despite improvement
in the appearance Of home crops have NOT
pressed sales. Millers have taken what
few lots were suitable for grinding at
former prices, but there was no inquiry
for inferior samples.
Imports OF foreign into London have
been moderate. This circumstance com.
bined with the Continental demand which
has now extended to grain in the London
warehouses, neutralized the tendency
usuul at this period Of the year to discount
the effects OF the weather. Prices, conse.
quently, were well sustained, though the
demand was not very active,
Red American was somewhat dearer in
consequence OF its comparative scarcity in
London, the millers only buying from
hand to mouth, and spectators are hold
ing aloof, as they consider the prices
mainly sustained by the wheat raising in
the United States.
Nearly all the wheat received at Lon.
don lately has gone direct to con.
sumers. Grainery stock have become un
usually light, maize inanimate.
There was good demand for oats
though the recent heavy arrivals have
caused decline OF Cd. on last week. Ar
rivals OF wheat at ports OF call have beer
large, and consisted almost exclusively o.
white.
There was good demand early in the
week both for the United Kingdom anG
the Continent, at fully previous prices
but during the last day or two the demand
was considerably checked by the brilliant
weather, and lower prices from America
White sorts were delivered at ls. per quar-
ter, while red sorts, in consequence O
their scarcity, only scarcely favored buy
ers.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE current oil
talk here points to Judge Stephen ].
Field, Of California, as the probable Dem.
ccrauc candidate at Cincinnati. Had
Grant been nominated at Chicago, Til
den's nomination would no doubt have
followed. But the change of front at
Chicago involves change OF programme
at Cincinnati. Field Is regarded as good
man to run against Garfield, because 1t is
believed he can carry the Pacific slope
with its twelve electoral votes, which, to.
vether with New York and solid South,
makes the one hundred and elghty.lour
requisite to a choice. Fields weakest
point in his extreme States right views, in
his dissenting opinion on the election

There seems to be something abroad in
Bellaire causing sickness. One physician
has seventeen cases OF what is called ty.
phoid fever. This is generally supposed

The funeral OF Mrs. Cummins will take
place Tuesday afternoon, at o'clock, and

SHERIFF IINGLE,s CARD.

ShOWIng Why lie Refused TO Back Up
HALrr NJ CIarksburg-IIis Testimony
very Damaging 10 Baker.
On Friday morning last the Wheeling
R,yiAr made savage attack on Sheriff
Tingle for not coming TO the support Of
Lewis Baker, the proprietor, the day be-
fore at the CIarksburg Convention at the
time that Col. ]. W. Gallaher, OF Mounds
vile, made his onslaught on Baker for
his failure to account for large sums OF
monty that had come into his hands as
Chairman Of the Democratic State Com
miitee in the year 1858. The Register said
that the Sheriff skunk" out OF the
Convention at Clarksburg in order to
avoid his just responsibility in the case,
and had shown want OF manhood" in
80 doing. In answer to this attack the
"high SheritI" came ont in card Of ex-
planation in yesterdays Register, in which
he gave what purports to be q succint
and reliable history Of the much talked Of
1880 that got into Bakers hands in the
campaign Of lSGS, and that remains 80
largely uuaccountcd for by him up to the
Present time. He makes his statement
with apparent great reluctance. In view
OF the damaging disclosures Of his card
We are aStOnished at the temerity Of
Baker in presumiug to call upon him for q
Statement.
1t seems that in the year referred to
Lewis Baker was the Chairman OF the
State Executive Committee, Col. W. W.
Miller, Treasurer, and Sheriff Tingle, Sec.
retary. 1t seems, further, that Mr.. Baker
had very little use for either Treasurer
o'Secretary. He illed all the offices him
sell, Miller and Tingle were merely orns
mental members Of the Committee. Ba
Ter kept his operations concealed from
them. Instead Of depositing his money

ntttee, as was contemplated when suct
an officer was appointed, he took charg'

New YORK, June l4.-John Halwig, a
middle.aged German, stands alone in the
piano factory OF Sohmer & Co., in this
city, in his refusal to join the Pianomakers'
Union. He gives as a reason that he is a
Catholic, and that his Church iorbids It's
members from joining any secret society.
A reporter, after seeing Halwig, called on
Father sorg, to whom Halwig referred as
authority, who said that Halwig misuuder.
stood him. The Church, he said, is op.
posed only to such secret societies as were
inimical to religion, or that sought to
create violent political revolution. To Sc.
cret societies for mutual benefit II has no
objection, nor to trades unions, which
were understood to be simply for business
purposes.
The reporter then called on several
members OF unions. who claimed that the
Church had no more right to oppose them
than to oppose the members OF q mercau.

who might close their doors for consulta-
ton and keep their proceedings secret.

said, are numerous in secret societies OF

Cardinal McCloskey, and was told by his
secretary, Father FArrelly, that the Cardi-
nal had definite views on the subject, but
declined to communicate them through the
newspapers.
When desiring to make them public he
would issue them through pastoral letters.

clergy to determine by examination
whether a society came under this head
before giving advice as to joining 1t. "The

Damage to Property and Loss Of Timber.
CHICAGO, June IA special from Eu-
claire, Wisconsin, says sixty million feet
OF logs have gone down the broken por-
ton Of the dam, besides many houses,
barns, &c. The river rose 81 feet, reaching
the highest point ever known. 1t began to
subside at P. NJ, yesterday. There were
l5O,00O,OOO feet at the Big Eddy, at the
Dell's Dam, which seems likely to break at
any moment. The loss In the Chippewa
Valley will probably reach half a million
dollars, and II the immense dam moves
and allows the entire 250,O00,000 feet OF
lUgs TO pass out 1t may amount 10 million
dollars. Many houses In the lower part
oi the city are flooded, and there Is the
greatest excitement among the Inhabitants.
