ENGLISH GRAIN MARKETS.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The Mark Lane Er-
press, in its review of the British grain
trade the past week, says the weather has
been unsuited to threshing or land work.
The markets were we'll supplied. Native
wheat is in bad condition, little inquiry
and the worst is almost unsaleable, prices
generally Is lower. Foreign trade small
and prices with difficulty maintained. The
demand has been restricted. Cargoes off
coast quiet, and supply limited. Red
winters improved 6d@9d. There have
been six arrivals and five sales. The
forward trade is very quiet. Red winter
is firmly held. Flour depressed and sales diff
ticult at reduction. Foreignfour Cd cheap
er. Demand for barley slack, and prices
generally 1@ 2s lower. Foreign barly keeps
falling. Oats unchanged. Foreign qui-

New YORK, Dec. 18.-On change there
seemed to be disposition to sell the Oma-
ha at the opening this morning, which
caused general weakness for a time.
Denver also was attacked, and declined to
~. After these furries steadier tone
was noticeable, and slight improvements
took place. The Vanderbilt properties
have been quite firm all day, especially
Canada Southern and Michigan Central,
and the feeling generally favors still
further advance in them. Delaware &
Lackawanna, after being depressed in the
early dealings, became moderately active
and displayed considerable strength.
Western Union continues to
feel the effect of the endless liti-
cation with which it is surrounded,
and sold as low as sO1s. Afterwards, with
the balance it regained about 1 per cent.
The Nickel Plate common and preferred
show slight gains over Saturd ay's figures,
but it seems to be difficult task to get
much life infused into them. Missouri Paci-
fic has been well held. 1t is upon the eve of
its usual ~ quarterly dividend.
During the closing hour the market be-
came almost hfeless, though the undertone
was quite firm. Money was more in de-
mand, and the rate was per cent. during
the afternoon. St. Paul started out this
morning at 1OS, afterwards lost ss, then
improved 1, and closed within Is of the
outside price. Northwestern began
the day at 1885, lost the fraction, re-
gained it and added point, and closed
Il below the, first quotation. Omaha
opened at 80, improved 3s, sold down to
331a, and ended at 3424. Northern Pacific
opened and closed at 454, ranging during
the Iday between 44% and 451s. Manitoba
did not sell under its opening, 1.434, or
abovei its closing quotatation, 143%.
Minneapolis & st. Louis opened at 3O15,
eased off Is, then improved $s and held
its advance.
1t is said that the next big move of the
railroad stock manipulators will be to
compel Vanderbilt to swallow the Mime
apolis & st. Louis railroad, as he has had
in self-defense to absorb the Omaha.

A WAR HORSE GONE.
Death of Gen. Meade's Famous Charger
Badly.

Death of Gen. Meades Famous Charger
Badly.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 1s.-Baldy, the ia
nous war horse of Gen. George G. Meade.
having attained an age when infirmities
gathered thick and fast upon him and made
his life burden, was charitably put out
of existence and further suffering in a
field near Philadelphia to-day. A dose of
poison from friendly hand laid the favor
ite charger of Pennsylvania's greatest war
rior to rest. Before Gen. Meade's
death he gave the animal that
had carried him over many a
hard fought battle field, faithfully and
successfully to John j. Davis, a black
smith, living near Jenkentown. The con-
dition was that the horse should not be
sold in servitude, and that when he was no
longer able to perform the light duties
that Davis imposed upon him, he should
be shot or poisoned. The gift was the
outcome of flattering incident in Baldy's
career. While Gen. Meade was living near
Jenkentown. Sthe war horse
was taken to Davis smithy
to be shod, and the blacksmith's daughter,
recognizing the distinguished visitor, deft-
ly twined garland Of flowers about the
warriors neck, and thus decorated he re-
turned to his home, where Gen. Meade was
called out to look at him. The horse was
presented to Davis for this graceful act.
He has done no work since Gen.
Meade's death, and lately his legs gave
way. He could not walk and it was thought
to be kindness to destroy him. A veter-
mary surgeon administered cyanide of
potassium and he died without struggle.
A large crowd witnessed the operation
The animal was thirty years old and carried
Meade through all his great battles of the
late war.

MASON CITY, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-The usually
quiet little city is fast gaining ground in
the sensational line. During the last three
weeks two elopements have been reported,
and now it appears that some half dozen
or more young ladies, most of whom are
members of the High school, have been in
the habit of writing notes of not altogether
ladylike character to some of the young
men attending the same school, one of
whom is boarding with the pastor of the
leading church here, who accidentally dis
covered some of the Rnotes in his
(the young man's) possession and feeling
it his duty, as some of the girls are mem
bers of his church, he: Immediately COM
menced an investigation of the affair, and
ln.connection with other of the clergy has
succeeded in stirring up great deal of
feeling, not only among the parents of the
parties concerned, but also citizens in gen
eral, as it is known that the names of iu-
nocent girls are mixed up, and used in con-
nection with the guilty. It is rumored
that the ministers examined and cross
examined the girls in the recitation room
at the school house in a manner that
would be worthy of lawyers in sensational
cases. Parents are much displeased that
outsiders should thus take it upon them
selves to interview their children upon this
subject and that the interview should be
carried on in manner beftting the con-
vent and confessional. The problem that
the people are trying to solve is
whether the girls are guilty
of more serious misdemeanor
than the writing of improper notes, and
running the streets at night. It is alleged
that several mothers called upon the min
lister in possession of the notes, who read
them to the ladies, but refused to say what
names were signed. There is some talk.
and it is not at all improbable, that the
case will yet reach the court room, as it is
said that gentleman of this place, whose
daughters name is mixed up in the dis
graceful affair, VOWS war upon those who
have assailed her hitherto unblemished
character.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1e.-The Scoville insanity
case was on call in the county court this
morning, but as none of the parties to the
suit appeared, it was stricken from the
docket. 1t was rumored in the court room
that Mr.. and Mrs. Scoville had adopted the
peace policy, and, having bridged over
their unpleasantness are again living to-
gether in harmony. It is to be hoped that
the public has seen the end of the Scoville

that city Is picking up since the specu;
lators have cleared out. "Five years ago.
he says, 'cholce building lots on
Van Ness avenue and Frank
lin street were sold at
from $4,000 to $4,000. These lots are
50 by 137 feet. Recently corner lot Of
this size was sold for $4,000. The men
who bought up these lots in early days
have made fortunes, as taxes on outside
real estate have been merely nominal. In
1862 these same lots we're covered with
scrub oak and chapparel, and infested with
Mexican squatters and sold for $50 each"
Frank Wilkerson says: ''The phosphate
beds of South Carolina, when under water,
arc the property of the state. They are
thrown open to any parties who may wish
to mine, on their agreeing to pay a royalty
OF 81 per ton. Exclusive right to mine
under the waters of amy tract are no
longer granted. Thusl far in 1882 some
10000 tons Of the rock have
been fished up. The royalty
on the amount of rock amounts to about
one-fourth of the revenue of South Caro-
lima. The rock, dried and ready for ship
ment, is sold at an average price of So per
ton on board ship. The weekly pay of the
negroes employed by the companies con
sidering Beaufort their . headquarters
amounts to about $1,000. The payment of
this sum weekly to the negroes explains
the prosperity of the black county of
South Carolina"
Howard Carroll emerged from the cruel
war to express his opinion of the convict
labor jobs in Georgia, North Carolina and
Mississippi, saying: SIN 1880, at the time
of the last investigation of the subject, the
male and female convicts of Georgia were
found working and living together. There
were among them twenty-five illegitimate
children and many of the women were
about to become mothers. Then, as now,
the prisoners were kept and worked in
what are known as convict camps. It is
matter of record that in them they are
made to labor like beasts of the field, and
are supplied with food of the coarsest kind,
food barely sufficient to keep life in their
bodies. If they die their places are soon
taken by fresh niggers, who are strong and
can work better. One beast of burden
more or lass does not count. They cannot
be regarded as property, as they were in
the days before the war, and consequently
their lives have no value in the eyes of the
men whose aim it is to get out of them
the greatest possible amount of work at
the least possible expense. The result of
the system is an average annual death rate
OF 10 per cent. from disease, and similar
death rate which, in such records as are
ever allowed to see the, light appears un-
der the significant head ''died or lost while
trying to escape" When it is stated that
blood hounds are used to track and::cap-
ture the unfortunates who from time to
time try to fly from fate far worse than
death, the full meaning of the quota ton
will be understood.
