CHICAGO.
wholesale Trade Fairly Active, With NO
Sneefal Features.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE money market
for the past few days has been better, on ac-
count of slow collections and bad roads, but
the supply is abundant, and easier business
is expected. Mercantile paper finds ready
market at 81 per cent. The general feeling
has been one of dullness and irregularity in
financial circles. Clearings, estimating Sat
urdsy, for the week are $42, 100000. The
wholesale mercantile trade of the city is
fairly active, but no new features have de-
veIoped. On Change prices are not mate
rally changed for the week, though there
have been some smart fluctuations. The
closing cash prices, as compared with those
of one year ago to-day, were as follows:
Wheat. to-day, 81 25B91 25i, against
81 OH; corn, 76s@764c,. against 42c; oats,
525@53c. against S79@37sc; rye, 78c, against
81 Is; barley, 81 05, against 9Sc@.Sl; pork,
SIS S0@1s 90, against s16 5O@16 623; lard,
11.35@11sc, against 10.4@10.55c. The list
shows that rye alone was higher last year,
and the prices this year are from ten to sew
enty-fve per cent. higher than at the cor
responding date in 1881.

DETROIT, MICH, May ia widow known
as Thankful Page came here few weeks
ago from Toledo, and was installed as type
writer operator in the Office of the division
superintendent of one of the railroads here.
Last night she died suddenly, and inves-
tigation by the coroner led to the discovery
that she had been on terms of intimacy with
the railway official. A post-mortem showed
no traces of malpractice, and Inflammation
of the bowels is the alleged cause of death.
The affair created sensation in railroad cir
cies, and it is given out that the official, I'M
der whose auspices the deceased came here,
will prob ably lose his head on account OF this
exposure and other indiscretions that have
been covered up,

Money Plenty, with Good, Steady
Trade Doing.
ST. LOUIS, May 12.-Money has been
plenty during the past week, and very lew
borrowers had any difficulty in getting what
they wanted. Country balances generally
are light, and heavy demand from the
agricultural districts is looked for soon.
Rates are unchanged at 6@7 per cent. on call
and 7(98 per cent. on time. New York ex-
change, 90c per $1,000. The general whole
sale trade of the city shows no change
whatever; good steady trade has been
done, and no complaints have been heard.
Leaf tobacco improved during the week, and
although buyers and sellers still report they
are not so far away from each other they
were, business at the public breaks was
pretty slow, but good many transfers
were made in a private way at better
prices; manufacturers were the principal
buyers. Grain fuctuated somewhat during
the week, but wheat closed to-day from II to
2lc better, and oats nearly as much. There
was good demand for cash grain, both for
milling and shipment, but the option trading
was chiefly confined to June and July. Pro-
visions were strong throughout, and ad-
vanced sharply. The Southern order trade
for pork and bacon was large, and supplies
of all kinds were in unusual demand. South
ern shipments show large increase.

A school for electrical Engineering.

The Crystal Palace Company, London,
have added to their schools one that is pre-
paratory to the profession of electrical
engineering. In England there is consider
able demand for engineering pupils who
understand something OF electricity. The
rapid introduction of the electric system
opens new field of professional work. Mr..
w. D. Ayrton recently opened the course of
lectures at the school, and said it was neces-
sary TO institute union between mechanical
and electricsl engineering. Prof. Ayrton
assured his audience that the study of cleo
tricity now meant more than experimenting
with glsss-legged stool. The electrical
engineer must have the came careful train
ing as members of other professions in
order to succeed. The electric exhibition
has stimulated study in this direction.

the part he had taken in his opening address,

jurisdiction of the court which tried him.
The court adjourned until Monday, taking

BrorHrn 0srrrrr. edltor Of f6e

II
BnOrHEB 0RIHrrM, editor Of the
Manhattan Notionatist-one Of John
A. Anderson's organs, came out last
week with q very bitter article on Sen
ator Plumb. The articles charges are
very serious. We have never heard
them preferred before, which il very
strange. Public men usually have
enemies enough to take advantage Of
such q bonanza of shortcomings, and
make them known to all the world.
We cannot understand why 1t is left
entirely to this Diogenes, of Manhat-
tan, In his blind search for an honest
man, to finally stumble on one whom
Kansas people had always supposed
ordinarially honest and disclose him
to the world as terribly corrupt man.
Editor Griffin makes Use of the fol-
lowing language:
The truth about Senator Plumb Is
that he is cold.blooded. unprincipied
shyster, who will do almost anything
for money. The manner i'm which he
used his official position to rob poor
men and women by means Of mining
swindles Is u disgrace to the. State that
enabled him to do 50. When in WASH
ingtOn last spring, We were informed
that Colonel Plumb would undOubt-
eddy have been indicted for his con-
nectiOn with the star route swindle but
for the fact that the government de
cided that II was best not to try the
implicated members of congress. That
he had his arm i'm that business up To
the elbow is asserted by those who
know the most about it-except the
criminals themselves.
Forone we believe these charges are
"trumped up" II is the first time we
have ever heard word of them. Com
ing from the organ and intimate friend
of John A. Anderson, it looks very
much As il sn attempt was being made
to "kill OFF, our distinguished Senator
for the purpose of elevating the first
named to his place.
