A pretty story is told OF this same violin.
When Ole Bull was in America he had to
60 from one little town to another to give
a concert. Perhaps tired of railway trav-
eling,-perhaps the better to see the county.
he took passage on an Ohio River steam
boat. In a little while the boiler burst,
after the Western fashion, tearing away the
fore part of the boat, and setting the cab
ms on. Old Bull found himself choked,
deafened, blinded, in the midst of strug-

tered timbers. smoke. fame, and noisy wa
tiers. What did he do? swim for his life?
lend q hand to any woman or little childs
No. He did peither. l doubt if he remem
bered that around him we're human beings
in danger. He rushed to his violin-c1se,
took from it the precious instrument, put
it between his strong, white teeth, leaped
over the blazing guards into the black wa
ter, and struck out manfully for the shore,
which he gained in triumph. and there
stood gaising at his fiddle, dripping. and
pround IS the Newfoundland dog who
saves a drowning child. Ole Bull was
nothing to Old Bull in that moment. His
beloved and precious instrument was all in
all. The only king Joseph Guarnerius'
might have been lost!
This story but shows the close affection,
curiously human, with lives between the
master Of the violin. think each player
on the violin is it's lover, too. He seems to
give a part Of his soul to it, and then to
find in it a friend that grown sensitive AID
alive under his varying touch.

When complete, the violin is made up of
ffty-eight different pieces, not adding the
elaborate carving and scroll-wolk which
adorns many of the early instruments. The
body of the violin alone has head or scroll,

sides. The wood used in the belly, or
sound-board, must be Of soft red fra kind
which grows only on the Tyrolese noun

any other woodland therefore gives freer
passage to the waves of sound, which trave
through it as rapidly as through glass or

LONDON. Aug. 9.-The Mark Lane Express in
it's review Of the grain trade for the past week
saws finer weather with less rain has enabled
farmers in some counties in the south to make
a fair beginning of harvest in wheat. There
will certainly be great Improvement on lS79'
but the yield is likely to be very uneven.
The markets the past week retrograded
slightly, but trade was so susoepu Die 10 tne
weather that buyers or sellers nave the pest or
the market according as the day is fine or foul.
The rea,tion has been confined chiefly to
wheat and -four. Foreign descriptions are
six pence and one shilling per quarter and per
sack respectively lower on the week. Engnsh
wheat is nearly stagnant and prlces uncnsng-
ed. Deliveries at several well known markets
have stopped entirely.
Last weeks shipments from America o1fect
to the continent are stated at SSu'OUU Quarters
of wheat and 100 Quarters of maize, but until
the telegram is confirmed by letter, we must
accept the statement under all reserve. The
$50, 900 is probably mistake for 3,0OO.
The price of wheat on passage has receded
sliohtly. Red winter for immediate shipment
marks 43s, the same as California. For sep
tember shipment the same rates are asked but
the value is really lower.
The imports into the United Kingdom dur.
ing the week ending July Slst, were, wheat at
1914, ,709 hundred weight, and flour 2S5 f1o
hundred weight. Barley was IN small supply
and slow of sale at unchanged rates. Oats
were slightly lower. except for the best sam
ples, which are unchanged. Maize 8 pence
lower. Beans and peas are firm, and in some
instances shilling dearer. The provision
trade has been inert.

THE TUNNEL DISASTER.

Dams Abandoned.

Work of Recovering the Dead by Golfer
Dams Abandoned.
JERSEY C1Ty, N. J., Aug. 9.-The work at the
tunnel has progressed very slowly to-day. The
large rotary pump, together with two small
ones, were put in operation this morning, but
it was found that the combined power of three
pumps, whose capacity is $500 gallons per
minute, was not sufficient to reduce
the water in the Golfer dam, as it
flowed faster than it could be pumped out and
the more they pumped the larger the flow of
water became. 1t was decided at late hour
this afternoon to abandon all idea of reaching
the bodies by means of the Golfer dam. At a
consultation of officers and engineers in charge
it was decided that the only. way of reaching
the bodies was by means of caisson, timber
for which has been ordered and Is ex-
pected to reach the grounds tomorrow
morning. The caisson will be the same
as that used in the construction OF the
foundation for the towers OF the East
river bridge. 1t will be twenty feet high.
twenty-five feet wide and forty feet long. It
is expected it will take at least two weeks to
construct tine caisson and two weeks more to
reach the bodies When GDl. Haskins was
asked this afternoon if he had estimated the
cost of the work SO far, he said he had not, but
said he thought it was near $40, zoo.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The Times this morning
publishes letter from Senator David Davis to
a gentleman in Washington, in which Judge
Davis says: The training and habits of my
life naturally lead me to prefer civilians to
soldiers for great civil trusts, but parties are
organized, voters must choose between the can
didates they present, or must stand aloof, in
different or neutral, which no good citizen
ought to do at Presidential election. have
no hesitanoy in supporting Hancock for the
best of all reasons, to my mind, because his
election will put an end to sectional strife and
sectional parties, aud will revive the patriotic
sentiment all over the land, which political
leaders and factions, for sinister ends, have
sought to prevent. There can be no perma-
nent prosperity without pacifoation. Great
as were the achievements of Gen. Hancock in
the war, his conduct in peace, when in COM
mand of Louisiana and Texas in 1867, was still
greater, and justly com1nends him to the con.

He will probably be destroyed. Belle will also
