''just you follow me and I'll show

We filed after him into town. He

the plaza, and down into the poorest

THE CHICAGO WHEAT CORNER.
The Visible Supply Cleaned Out SO as {
Leave Nothing for the Shorts.

ADsNO 4NObAAhB AOA AhO s5hSh Aos
CHICAGO, June 25.-The combination
which has control of No. 2 spring wheat has
been quietly at work for some time dispos-
ing of wheat in store. OF the wheat in ele-
yator in Chicago all but 100000 bushels is
in process of shipment, and what remains
will be on its way East by the first of the
month. This grain has all been sold in
Europe and will not stop on this side of the
Atlantic.
Since the first development of the deal,
about 7 900 900 bushels of short wheat have
been settled at prices ranging from Sl.32 to
S1.34. During the past week about ,OOO.OOO
bushels have been settled, and 253, 600
bushels were bought in the fulillment of
contracts at S1.34. The prediction is freely
hazarded by those who know that by the
middle of July No. spring wheat will be
worth S1.40a1.45. BY the beginning
of another month the owners of the
property will have it all out of the way, and
then there will be nothing left to handle but
the contracts entered into by the men who
recklessly sold the merchandise which has
since been sold by the actual holders for Eu-
ropean delivery. 1t rests with the clique
how high prices will 60 Messrs. Mitchell,
Armour and Plankinton have the power to
put 1t where they please, and 1t is merely
question of expediency what figures they
may SelecJ.
1t is understood that the July wheat syn
dictate has also corn and provisions, and it is
predicted that before 80 days have elapsed
corn will be 80 cents bushel and pork S23
a barrel. The receipts of corn are next to
nothing, and all the corn in store here is
being rapidly moved out of the city. 1t is
not put on the New York market, but is
sent directly to New England where
place has been provided for
every bushel. The visible supply of
pork is diminishing with astonishing rapid
ity. The pork is going into consumption in
one form or another, and it is to be distrfb-
uted in every direction. In consequence of
1he manipulation of the various commodities
traded in on the board, this market will
come nearer being cleaned out of everything
this summer than it has for four years. The
new grain crops will be brought to
empty elevators, and the supplies Of
provisions will be very meagre. Much of
the grain which is now being shipped to
Europe has been lying in store for three,
four and five years. Although the yield OF
winter wheat in the southern belt is unques-
tionably large, it is also true that it is from
20 to 25 days late, and the delay in putting
it upon the market cannot be less than 40
days. 1t was thought that by June 20 there
would be heavy receipts of winter at this
point, but up to date only two cars have
arrived

A MURDERoUs ASSAULT.
A New Castle Man Tries to Kill His Wife
A wilmington Yacht Upset.

Especial correspondence of the Gazette
New CASTLE, June 26.-On Saturday q
murderous assault was made by Jacob
Wright on his wife, Louisa Wright. It
seems that Jacob came home very much in
toxicated. After entering the house he
became very abusive to his wife and chill
dren, and after fighting with his family he
attacked his wife with a butcher-knife.
Fortunately when he ran at her, she threw
up her hand In time to ward off the blow
from her head. She received very bad cut
on the hand. His intention was to cut her
throat. Her screams attracted the neigh
bors' attention. One of them was attacked
by Jacob who tried to run the knife through
him.
Officers Duffy and Rainey were called, and
had great deal Of trouble making the
arrest. Yesterday he had hearing before
Mayor Black and was held in $500 bail for
his appearance at court.
Sunday was day of sport on the Della
ware, A number of yachts were out
When opposite New Castle the yacht Tom
and Joe of Wilmington, capsized. Eight
men were in the boat and they all got a
good dueking. All could swim except one
man, and his friends kept him on the bot
tom of the boat. They were all rescued
by the yacht Oriole of Wilmington.
Sunday was the warmest day we have had
this summer. The temperature was from
9S to 80 in the shade. The battery was
swarmed with people, as that was the only
place you could get breath of air and feel
comfortable.
Henry Edmunds was arrested for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. He was given
a hearing on Saturday and fined 81.
The Delaware Iron Works will close for a

A Shooting Match.

The shooting match of the Lafayette
Guards, as was previously announced, came
off on the evenings Of the Goth and 21st inst
100 rounds were fired, each round five shots.
Anthony McGarvey of the Upper District,
and William Rove, Sr. ofthe Lower District,
were appointed judges, with II. w. Miller,
Rokeby, alternate, and Richard Gavanagh
Of the Brandywine Glass Ball Club, referee.
The winning man was Thomas Gordon,
but his round was shot by John Ramsey,
one of the guards, as by arrangement, a
privilege was granted the absent contestants
to select as substitute, one of the experts
As matter of courtesy, the Guards were
the last to shoot; the winning number was
22, (the highest obtaihable, 25) Mr.. Ram
sey was the last to shoot, but generously
declined to contest his round with Mr.. Cor
don, he scored, however. 23.
There were other excellent shots in the
contest. The referee gave the box of cigars
the prize, to John Ramsey, who presented
it to Thomas Gordon.
Good order and general satisfaction pre-
vailed through the efficient leadership, of
Captain Pierre Gentieu, veteran of the late
war, and superintendent of E. |. Dupont

Which are Pertinent at the Time.
St. PatriclS's Roman Catholic Church is
now completed, even to the organ, which
has been properly tuned, and was played
at the services yesterday. A statement, en-
bodying the financial standing of the con-
gFegation and review of the work of build
ing the church, was hung up yesterday in
the corridor. This was read with in
terest II says that plans and specifications
Of the church were prepared by Graham 81
Son, architects. These plans and specilca-
tions were submitted to the promi.
nent and responsible builders OF the
creed or religious proclivities. 1t was
question Of how cheaply It could be put up
and be ready for worship as soon as posi-
BILE. The contract was therefore given to
the lowest bidder, William G.. Pierce, at
S16,7n. The corner stone was laid July 3,
1881, at O'Clock by Bishop Becker. Divine
service was said in the frame shed or chapel
adjoining, that same morning. On Christ
mas morning the basement was occupied for
divine service. On March 10, 1882, at IL
O'Clock, the church was dedicated by

THE SULTAN ALARMED.
He Does Not Like the Exodus of Foreign
ers From Egypt-The Feeling in London


ers From Egypt--The Feeling in London.
ALEXANDRIA, June 25.-The Khedive has
written to Ragheb Pacha, President Of the
Council, recapitulating the events in Egypt,
which the Khedive describes as deplorable.
He points out that notwithstanding his assur-
ances foreigners continue to abondon Egypt;
that commercial affairs are at a standstill
that specie is being hastily withdrawn that
there is a complete absence of credit; and that
an enormous loss is thus caused to the coun-
try. He declares that a strict, searching in
quiry must be held, and he commands Ragheb
Pacha to consider the best means of finding
out the causes that led to the catastrophe In
Alexandra, which, he says, might have been
avoided by timely measures. He urges
Ragheb Pacha to discover the names of the
promoters of the riot and of their accom-
plices with view to their severe punish
ment. The Khedive says it is absolutely
necessary that measures be taken for the
establishment of friendly relations between
the natives and Europeans for the mainte-
nance of order and for the resumption of
business on which the prosperity of the
country depends.
The Sultan has conferred the order of
Medjidic, of the first class, upon Arab
Pacha. He has also presented the Khedive
with souvenir in diamonds, and conferred
rank Ragheb Pacha has telegraphed to
Count de Lesseps contradicting the report
that the Suez Canal is in danger.
THE CONFERENCE IN SESSION.
THE WAR CLOUD OVER EGYPT.
LONDON, June A.-The Herald CORE
spondent telegraphs as follows The Egyp-
tian question has broken the monotony of
coercive legislation and has resumed its old
attractions, owing to the opportunity
afforded for batting Her Majesty's Ministers
"a sport highly relished by honorable
members. The result of the cross-question-
ing has been singularly barren, owing, as is
believed, to the fact that the Government
has screwed its courage to the fighting point,
and that as soon as the foreign population is
out of danger armed Intervention will be
undertaken by England and France. Eng
lands idea is to seize both ends of the Suez
Canal and place guards at intervals, leaving
Egypt proper to stew in her own fat.
The Pail Mall Gazette, which is usually we'll
informed, published on Friday evening an
article in reference to the organization of a
military expedition to Egypt, in which
it assumes that the expedition has been
| already decided on. This belief is very
general among members of Parliament. An
additional proof of the imminence Of war is
the heavy fall which has taken place in
British securities during the week.
