Corners in Grain.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The Senate Committee
on Corners in GRAIN etc, resumed its session
to-day. rra3klin Edison, the former President of
the Produce Exchange, testified that dealing in
futures in grain seemed 20 have become a neces-
sIty in order TO handle the grain product in the
most economical way. HIS impression was that
since dealings in futures have been carried on.
grain has been dealt witk in a less speculative
spirit. People supposed the country was fnjursed
by an advance of grain. but he did not believe so
He thought If prices had been kept down he
would now be importing grain, which would be
demoraliZng. He die not agree with President
Jewett in styling corners national calamity.
Corners advance the price on consumer temper
arily, but the REACTION caused corresponding de.
crease. Spectators often sell the grain
they do not have, and that is gambling.
A contract, however is always
entered into, and the buyer can demand the
grain aAd not settlement of the differences If he
wishes. lie might have orders from customers
which would cause him to buy grain in large
quantities for delivery in June, and he might,
without knowing ID, create corner. IF the pro-
posed law was passed he could not safely,
as commission merchant, take
large orders from legitimate customers
and business would be driven out of the ; ate
The increase In the price of grain is due to the
poor crops of last year. Isaac III. Reed testified
cOTrobOratiBg Edison s testimony. David Bingham,
an exporter, testified that "corners' disarrange
transportation but reduce rates, and in his opin-
lon there Is no legal way TO stop the practice.

A WelI.Known Resident OF The Eighth
Ward Killed.

evening about seven o'clock, on the Bethany

berly, came instantly TO his death.
MI. Kimberly is q teamSter, aud had been
out in the country buying hay. He was
driving along the pike by the high bluff on
Short Creek, Just below Clinton, with a four
horse wagon heavily loaded with hay, he
riding on top. It was very dark, aud the
road being narrow and somewhat uneven, Il
was very difficult to drive. The horses went
too near the edge of'the road, and the wagon
was precipitated down the bluff into che
creek, turning entirely upside down In the
descent and carrying Mr.. Kimberly beneath
the load into the creek, where he was PINNED
down by the hay pole.
A companion fortunately escaped, and
securing assistance, strenuous eXertions were
made to extricate the unfortunate man, bnt
such was the position of the load that it was
fully an hour before his body which had
been lifeless probably from the instant Of the
fall, was taken from the creek. The men
who recovered the body were Morgan and
Joseph English, Daniel and LomaH Deans,
and Frank Clark. The body was conveyed
to the residence OF Daniel Deans, black.
smith who lives .near-the scene OF the acct.

family In the city by G. l.. Holmes, to whom
we are indebted for the particulars Of the
occurrence.
