LEAP FOR LIBERTY.


Mary McGovern's Attempted Escape from
the Reformatory school-A Broken Leg
the Result.
foolish attempt to escape from the House
Of the Good Shepherds, on the part of an in
mate of the institution, yesterday afternoon,
resulted in aquite serious and painful accident.
On the 9th inst. there was brought to the in
stitntion from Minneapolis young girl named
Mary McGovern, whose friends were desirous
Of rcscning her from association with loese
companions.
She is about fifteen years of age, rather pre-
possessing and capable of becoming a useful
member of society if broken from Intercourse
with her depraved companions. Since enter-
ing the reformatory school she has beensdissat-
isfied with her lot, and as the sequel will
show resolved on making desperate attempt
to escape.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning she
eluded the care of the sisters, and, taking her
shawl and bonnet, climbed over the fence
next to the bluff on the east side of the build
ing. The fence runs parallel with the bluff,
below which is the railroad track, distance of
fifty feet.
In proceeding along the narrow pathway she
stepped on segment of loose earth which
gave way ana precipitated her to the track.
She alighted on the track but her fall was
broken by dirt from the enbankment, a great
deal of which was dragged down in the descent.
As she reached the track train steamed up
within few rods of her person and had she not
been rescued by workmen horrible fate
would have been inevitable. She was car
ried to the honse and attended by Mrs. McDon-
aid and Sinclair who pronounced the principal
injury to be the breaking of the righ. leg. Her
escape from more serious injury is almost won
derfnl and she will not be likely to attempt
the feat again.

Drowning of Frank shimon.

To the long list of fatalities by drowning
that have occurred this season must be added
the death of lad named Frank Shimon,
which took place in the river near the rail-
road bridge yesterday afternoon. About
o'clock young Shimon and boy named
Fredinscha procured canoe at the railroad
bridge and started out in the river for row.
The boys padded down the river, and when
opposite the Bohemian settlement the canoe
partially tipped over, throwing young Shin
on into the river. At the time of the acci-
dent the boys were seesawing the boat, and
it is thought that the affair was owing to
carelessness. The Lad struggled in the river
for moment or two and an effort was
made to reach him by his young companion.
Before material assistance could be rendered
he sank beneath the water from loss of
strength. The lad was thirteen years of age,
and resided with his parents in the Bohemi-
an settlement, his father being in the en-
ploy of Paul Faber on West Third street.
An effort was made last evening to find the
body, but up to 8 late hour it had not been
recovered, In case the remains are found
an inquest will be held this morning.

GRAIN MARKET.
EXCITED AND HIGHER.

LONDON, July 12-The Mark Lane E1presS
says farmers express great anxiety about the
weather. Unreasonable weather never fails at
this season to exercise hardning influence on
the grain trade, and the copious showers OF the
past fortnight have increased the activity in
wheat. Supplies of grain were small and sales
more readily effected at an advance of shiil-
ing per uuaater. Farmers now hold
SO little grain that holders feel JUS
tilted in declining to sell except at higher
prices. Both English and F-ench stocks OF
native wheat are practically exhausted and the
consumption of both countries has to be met
by the foreign producer for which fair trade
was experienced at advancing prices. At the
moment the situation is decidedly critical
Stocks have been worked so low by the disin-
clination of buyers to operate for further deliv-
cry that it needs only weeks wet weather
to bring about such state of activity as will
materially change present values. There ls no
abatement in the continental demand. The
exports for the past month were nearly 36,0Vu
quarters. During the same time the imports
were only 80, 900 quarters. Red wheat was held
with extreme firmness. The market closed
Friday expectant if not excited, with stocks Mt
highest Maize Sd@6d dearer and in fair
request, but another feature of the week un-
questionably has been the large demand for
foreign white wheat, such as Australian and
New Zealand, for the north of England and con-
tinent trade. The market closed very strong
for these descriptions at an advance Of i've
shillings since last Monday. Sales of English
wheat, last week, l5,453 quarters at 43s Sd,
against 27.727 quarters at 43s i'd the same
period last year. Imports for the week ending
July 8, 9S9, 1854 hundred weight of wheat and
1876, ,S32 hundred weight of -four.
