Express in It's leading review of the British
corn trade for the past week says: "The
week has been abnormally warm, and young
wheats have consequently made rapid pro-
gress. Farmers deliveries have decreased
both in quantity and quality. The weather
has heen favorable for threshing. Good
samples of native wheat are growing
acarce. There is no quotable change
in the value of wheats and -four.
The foreign spot trade was unchanged.
Some concessions were necessary to effect
sales. American red winter and spring
whests were in large supply. The supply
in London was large. The receipts Of
foreign -four here we're small, half being
from New York. TIE steadiness is due to
the restricted supply. Rates are unchanged.
Fourteen wheat csrgoes arrived off the CT ast,
of which thirteen were sold. The
floating bulk has decreased. Good barley
is scarcer, while inferior is more plentiful.
Maize is unchanged, but sellers of mixed
American are frmer in their demands. The
sales of English wheat during the week
were Al GIL quarters, at ASS. 4d. per quarter,
against 40 9S2 quarters, at AS. Id. per quar-

Pistols at a Wedding Feast.

Portsmouth (Ohio) Special to ~ Y. Herald.
News has been received here Of case of
pistols and whisky at a Kentucky wedding
in Greenup county, q dozen miles south of
here, withta result that is not likely to com
mend the admixture to general use. The
occasion was the second days celebration
OF the wedding of Mr.. Allen Richards to
Mrs. Ellen Burke. The bridegroom was a
widoweT, over fifty years old, farmer, and
withal an influential citizen. The bride was
widow, past the middle age, and the
mother of q son about twentyYears d. Last
Tuesday the wedding took place, and all the
Young people far and near feasted and dane
ed on the occasion. On the farms in Kentucky
the primitive custom of two days festivities
at weddings Is maintained, and accordingly
the sfnfaiF," as the second days celebration
OF such events is called, was observed ia
this case, and the participants were mainly
composed OF those who had been the we'd
ding guests. Usually when the marry ing
parties are young and thu parents of the
bridegroom sre living, 1t occurs at the house
of such parents. When the bridegroom has
no parents living or within reach, as In this
instance, no rule holds except that the Sin
fair" must be given by some oEe. This
time it was at the home of the BRIDE and
that was the scene of gayety and pleasure
on last Wednesday night until near mid

was liberal supply Of old Kentucky Bour-
bon whisky consumed on the occasion.
One OF the merriest guests was Samuel
Burke, son of the bride, who as the evening
wore on drank his stepfather drunk. By
the time midnight arrived the effect of the
liquor was visible on some of those present.
Samuel and his stepfather were observed
by the guests to step outdoors after an ami
mated conversation, but nothing Wss
thought OF the circumstance until a pistol
shot was heard In the yard, then another,
and then shot answering shot several times,
followed by an ominous silence. After Mrs
Ellen Burke had been made the bride of
Allen Richards, she saw her own son.
Samuel, borne in before her with a mortal
bullet wound in his shoulder made by her
husbands pistol. The mothers instinct
outweighed the oath Of the bride at the
altar, and Mrs. Richards, in a rage, drove
from her presence the man whom thirty
hours before she had sworn to stay by and
love till death parted them. No arrest has
been made.
