Fatal Runaway.

A Mrs. s. $. Harris, who has been a
guest at the Merchants Hotel In st. Paul,
Minn., since September 2, on Saturday, Sept.
IS, ordered spirited livery team to ride
about the city with some lady acquaintances.
She prided herself on her ability to drive wild
teams. The lady friends who ventured into
the carriage with her became frightened at
the spirited action of the ho' ses, and were
permitted, at their earnest solicition, to leave
the carriage, soon after which the horses got
beyond the control of Mrs. Harris, ran down
Robert street at fearful rate, collided with
wood wagon and threw Mrs. Harris to the
sidewalk with great violence. She was taken
up In an unconscious condition, and carried to
her lodgings at the hotel, where she died on
Sunday night, Sept. IL, never having recovered
consciousness. She played the role OF lady
of wealth, but who she was or who her rela.
lives are, if she has any, is not known. Since
her death her trunks have been examined, but
offorded no clue. .Telegrems have been sent to
various points. but no information has been
gained. During her stay at the hotel she con.
Quoted herself in a lady like manner. Time

The Grain Trade.

Russia is now the only doubtful factor
in computing the demand for American
grain abroad, the amount to be expected from
France and Great Britain being pretty vel
known. Fiance, which imported on last
years crop 77,h0O, ono bushels, will need this
year at least 100000. Great Britiau, whose
import in the year just closed was 10000 000
bushels. will not require over 100O00COO in
the coming year. Excluding France and
Italy the Mediterranean countries will be able
to supply their demand from neighboring
sources Of supply. A de f .iency in Germany
will probably do no more than absorb sur.
plus from Hungary while Italy and the rest
Of Europe are not likely to need over 30,O00,-
600 bushels against ~, ,0OO,O00 in 1879. Except
in the case of France and Great Bri'ian, all Of
these figures are approximations. but they
point to demand which will turn 00,O00,OOo
bushels. To meet this demand the United
States has $50, 100000 and Australia, Egypt
and other smaller sources Of supply 25O00,- :
oco bushels. In 1879 Russia exported s2,eoo,-
600 bushels, and profitable price for the
grain Of the western States undoubtedly de-
pends to-day on the Russia export. Should

The Cutter Corwln Ice Bound.

San Francisco advices Of Sept. 10, note
that Capt. Nelson Of tie trading schooner.
Western Home, which arrived yesterday
seventeen days from Alaska, reports the Arc
tic relief cutter, Thomas Corwin, is lying at
,ne OF the small ports, unable to proceed on
ner voyage, owing to the immense floes Of
ice which bar her way. Capt. Nelson fur.
ther says that the ice this year had offered
more difficulties 10 the voyagers Of the north
crn seas than has been known for years. It
has come down earlier lhan usual and packs
thicker. There is hope, however, of the Cor
win being able to proceed in her search for
the jeanette and missing whalers as soon as
a break in the ice occurs It is generally be-
lieved by whalers who are familisr with the
passage to be taken by the Corwin, that when
the ice packs and comes in early in the sea-
sou, break 'oct urs, allowing vessels to pro-
coed before real cold weather has come on.
