Wheat and Other Grains Steady-Pork and
Lard Advancing.
CHICAGO, Jan. 25--The wheat market was
purely and simply q speculative one. Prices
were unsettled and the feeling was nervous
and uncertain throughout. The board was
full of rumors of corners, and the presence of
one or two operators from abroad created un-
usual remark. The demand was active, and
at each rally in prices there was large Offer
ing. Receipts fell below the usual small
quantity. The opening was S@Ac lower
than yesterdays prices, and declined Kc, raj
lied Xc, became weak under free offerings, de-
clined N, ruled strong, advancing Ike and
receding Nc, with some tiifing fluctuations,
and closed almost at the close of yesterdays
figures. Sales, 1.3401.S51 February; 1861 O
1868 March and 1.3SA@ 1895 May. On
call sales were less than half the usual amount
and prices were shade off.
Corn was more active than usual and prices
took a considerable boom, the shorts We'd
with outside SPECTATORS in sending them up,
and the anxious purchasers more than bal
anced the heavy offerings, and big receipts
seemed to cut no figure. The advance was
about z @lc, and at the close X@1c above

prices steady.
Oats steadily improved and closed firm with

The demand for mess pork was brisk and
sales unusually heavy. Prices advanced 80 to

Whal Scoville Says.


Scovlle said tonight the next move in the
Guiteau case would be motion for a new
trial, which he expects to file Saturday. The
main points on which it will be based are that
the jury erred in rendering verdict contrary
to law, and they erred in
rendering a verdict contrary to
vidence. Judge Cox in his charge did not
chase it upon all the evidence, and the jury
during trial read newspapers and had CONVEX
sation with outside persons. Should motion
be cened, an appeal will be
taken to the court in banc. In
referring to the verdict Scoville said after
hearing Judge Cox's charge, be was not sur
prised that the jury rendered a verdict of
guilty. He refrained, however, from passing
criticism upon Judge Cox's charge, further
than to say he had not been accustomed to
hear judges addressing jury as Judge Cox
did, but simply submitted written instruc-
tions. This too, upon law, bearing upon the
case and not upon the evidence.
Judge Cox, Mr.. Scovill thought, did not
review the entire evidence given In the case,
but only portion of it.
Guiteau is said by some to have appeared
the coolest person in the court room at the
tine the verdict was announced, but
Scogille believes when the excitement attend
ing the trial is over he will become q raving
maniac.
Scoville does not talk tonight like man
who thinks his labor in the matter is at an
end. There are good grounds, he says, for
new trial, arG he proposes to show this from
the record of the trial.

Judas Iscariot himself have pronounced q
more sinister judgment?
Guiteau--Judas IscariOt would have EN-.
plOyed you as his attorney, you big liar you.
His whole life, said Judge Porter, was in
accord, and all evidence substantiated the as
sumption that revenge and morbid desire
for notoriety actuated the prisoner. Judge
Porter passed to the discussion of the direct
issue of the case, whether or not the prisoner
was insane on the I'd Of July. The prisoner
himself, he said, does not claim to be insane.
Guiteau-I don't now, but was on the ID
of July, and for thirty days previous. Transi-
tory mania, that's what claim.
Replying to this claim Judge Porter pointed
to the absurdity that like stroke of lightning
all his insanity should vanish in an instant;
that it should envelope him completely day af-
ter day for the purpose of murder; that it still
helpless to the ground and then instantly was
taken off and left him perfectly sane man.

plea that Sckels got off on and you were on

In passing on to criticise DR.. Spitzka's tes-
timony, Porter said: II wonder whether if
Lucifer had happened to be on trial, DR.. Spitz-
ka would say of him he was a moral imbecile,
a moral monstrosity. When satan fell, If we
may believe the book of inspiration, he fell,
from where? From Empyrean heights and he

temptations that lead men to crime and lure
them TO punishment here and hereafter.

An Electric Ships Leg.

Among :he more recent applications Of
electricity to practical purposes is that of at
taching an electrical apparatus to ships
log, and making 1t register with extreme ac-
curacy the speed at which the ship is moving
through the water. This ingenious arrange
ment owes its existence to the inventive
genius and skill of Mr.. Kelway, of Ports
mouth. The inventor has affixed to the
lower part of tine box containing an ordina-
ry service log another box which incioses
his own electrical apparatus. Into this last
named box the mile spindle Of the log Is
continued, and this is fitted with a cam
wheel. The box Is also divided into two
parts by vertical partition. through which
passes horizontal lever, or rod, insulated
from the body of the apparatus, and turni ng
upon fixed center. As the cam wheel e.
wolves In passing through the water, It's pro-
jections press down the lever whereby the
electrical current is completed, and the dis
tance travelled is recorded by means of bat
terry on board Of ship acting through the
electric cable by which the log Is towed.
the index dial may be placed inthe captain 3
cabin, on deck, or, indeed, in anypart Of the
ship. In trials lately made near Portsmouth
every quarter of kno' indicated by the dial
was checked by actual measurement, alrd
found to be absolutely correct. We under
stand that what may be termed the Kelway
speed indicator is likely to be largely used in
the British navy rs well as the mercantile
marine. '''#s

Ancient Chinese Collins.

~5.
: A recent number of the Celestial Empire,
referring to discovery of some ancient
graves near Shanghai, gives, says Nature, an
interesting account Of Chinese burial In for
mer times. A man of means purchased his
coffin when he reached the age OF. forty. He
would then have IL painted three times each
year with species Of varnish, mixed with
pulverized porcelaip--a composition which
silicate paint or enamel. The
by which this yarnish. was made has
unw been lost TO the Chinese. Each coating
OF this paint was If some thickness, and
when dried had metallic frmness resem-
bling enamel. frequent coats Of this, II the
owner lived. long, caused the coffin TO assume
the appearance Of sarcophagus, with o foot
or more I'm thickness of this hard stone-like
shell. After death the veins and cavities Of
the stomach were filled with quicksilver for
The purpose or preserving the body. A piece
OF jade would then.be placed In each nostril
and ear, and in one hand, while piece of
bar silver would be placed In the. other
hand. The body thus prepared was placed
on LAYER Of mercury within the coffin; the
latter was sealed, and the whole then COM
mitted TO Its last resting place. When some
OF these sarcophagi we're opened affer the
lapse Of centuries, the bodies we're found In
q wonderful state Of preservation; but they
crnmbled to dust on exposure to the air.
The writer well observes that the employ
ment OF mercury by the Chinese of past dy-
nasties for the purpose Of preserving bodies
ought to form an interesting subject for con-
Alteration and discussion In connection with
the history of embalming and "mummy

Grain Freight Free to Liverpool.

The speculative holding Of grain at Chi
cago for higher prices led, in the fore part Of
April, to some curious results. The export
Of grain had been stopped, the market rates
at Liverpool being lower than those Of Chi
cago. The railway officials refused to lower
their rates, saying that they saw no good
reason for sacrificing their revenues to ena-
BILE the promoters Of ''corners" to adjust
questions Of supply and demand between
themselves and consumers. The managers
Of certain ocean steamship lines billed for
early departure were in great straits for
freight, and even begged for grain to be car
ried as ballast, freight free. A press dis
patch from Chicago, April 7th, said that the
day before the agents Of the eastern lines
termi nal there were asked by wire If they
could not furnish small cargoes on condition
that no charge should be made for transport
ing 1t by water TO Liverpool. Again, on the

peal, Offering n additional inducement q

Horace Greeiey's Shoes.
50. Louis Republican.

About the year 1870, when Arthur Barret
| was president Of the Fair Association, Mr..
Greeley accepted an invitation to deliver the
annual address in the smphitheater at the
Fair grounds. Colonel Todd was chairman
of the reception committee, and after the
close Of the address escorted the speaker to
his room at the Southern Hotel, where he
sade him goodbye, as Mr.. Greeley was to
leave the city early on the following morn
ing. Before leaving him, however, Colonel
Todd said:
"Well, Mr.. Greeley, 1 trust that during
your stay here everything has been done for
ysur comfort and that everything has been
satisfactory to you"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Greeley, slowly and
with considerable hesitapcy, everything
has been as pleasant IS could have desired,
except"-here the cid gentleman looked
sadly down at his feet, and after brief pause
resumed, "except that some one sole my
shoes last night" .........y
"Stole your shoes!" echoed Colonel Todd
in sstonishnent, also surveying Mr.. Gree
ley's feet. .-..... Fl
"Yes," replied Mr.. Greeley with . sigh,
and moving his feet uncomfortably. aye
left them outside my door last night aud
some one walked off with them. But new
pair was left in place of the old ones, and
that's what troubles me. The old ones were
easy and comfortable, but the new ones hurt
my feet" ae.... . ...
"One might be Psrdoned," said Colonel
Todd, " for wanting to step into your shoes.
Perhaps some one wanted them as souve-
| Mrs" ... ..-. r...s....... 81.
This was intended for a compliment, but
Mr.. Greeley was too much interested In his
feet to notice it. He only said, " Perhaps
SO, but would very much prefer my old
ones to these, and wish they had taken som e
thing else as souvenir" . s.-a.s4 saa.
The next morning the old gentle man
limped down stairs and took carriage 70 r
the depot, carrying away with him probab ly
a very unfavorable impression of the souv e.
mir hunters of St. Louis. a .s gasa
Several weeks elapsed before the mystic ry
of the stolen shoes was sslved. It was then
Ascertained that colored man named Wilkin-
son, who was one of the BARRIERS at the
Southern, had really taken Mr.. Greeley's
shoes As nementoes Of the mau who had
worked so actively and carnotly for the
freedom Of the negroes. In speaking Of the
matter to Colonel Todd, Wilkinson said that
he was walking along the hall near Mr.. Gree
ley's room, and seeing the shoes standing
outside the door, the idea struck him that
they would be just the things to give to the
children to remind them Of him who had
done so much for the colored man. He
therefore took them, hurried out of the hotel
and went to shoe store, where he purchased
a pair of much better shoes Of the same size
as the old ones, and, returning to the hotel,
put the former where the latter had stood.
BE thought that fair exchange Vas no rob
berry, and felt that he was giving Auch more
In actual value than he was receiving. Will
kinson Is dead, but the shoes are probably
now In ST. Louis. It is understood that sew
eral relic hunters are looking for them.

what was the matter. A deep drain had

The SOW was screaming more from fury than
