Der of the famed July wheat deal was to
get the president of the board in case the
firm of Seymour. Hunt s. Co. refused. to
sign down the margins to them. It is
very erroneous. The facts in the case have
never been fully ascertained or explained.
After the great wheat deal New Yorker
named Baker had lost $4,000 in the Au-
gust deal on this board to different parties.
He was dealing through Seymour, Hunt &
Co., and had $4,000 up in a bank
as margins. He got out an
injunction forbidding his brokers
to pay out this money OR to sign
down the margins, as it is termed, and
they were powerless to act, as the board of
trade cannot recognize any one but the
principals in case in arbitration, and as
the firm of Seymour, Hunt & Co., brokers,
for Baker refused to sign down the margins,
although they could not, the president of
the board suspended the brokers, and they
got out an injunction against the expul-
sion or suspension. As soon as possible
Baker enjoined the board from signing
down the margins as Seymour, Hunt i Co
had refused, and the cases are in the United
States court and the appellate court.
The latter decided the Baker case in favor
of the board. but he has still another suit
in the United States court, and will likely
also appeal to the supreme court.

LOVE AND WHISKY.

A Young Milwaukeean Who Couldn't
on Muriatic Acid.
Special Telegram to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 3I.-Last evening Al
fred E. Detwiller, aged "a years, attempt
ed suicide by drinking muriatic acid. For
two or three years young Detwiller has
paid attentions to Third ward young
lady named Laura King. Although a
strong attachment existed between the
couple, the lady refused to marry him on
account of his dissipated habits. She,
however, repeatedly gave him assurances
of marriage whenever he would reform.
about year ago he showed
signs of reformation, going to
Minneapolis. where he worked at his trade.
that of a plumber. Several months ago
he returned to the city, but soon re-
turning to his old habits, Miss King
broke off their engagement. Since that
time Detwiller has drank heavily. He Wis
tied his fathers house yesterday afternoon,
returning to his boarding house at 5
O'Clock with quart bottle half filled with
muriatic acid. Running up stairs he en-
tered his room, finding his room mate, a
Mr.. Parks, sitting on the bed. Detwiller
requested Parks to read aloud the
article about the Hennecke case.
This Parks proceeded to do, during which
Detwiller fell to the floor with a groan.
Physicians worked all night over him.
To-day they think he viii recover, but his
throat and stomach are frightfully burned
and structure of the asophagus is feared.
The unfortunate affair created great SEN
satlon throughout the Third ward, where
the young man and Miss King have resid-
ed since infancy. When unconscious he
would repeatedly moan ''Oh, Laura, Lau-
rap When he revived he was asked if he
had taken the acid, and he said yes and he
wished he had taken more.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The week in Wall
street opens very much as other weeks for
some time past, with market unsettled,
variable, dull, unimportant. Some stocks
have been weak, none decidedly strong.
none decidedly active. The fluctuations
have been to-day unimportant, in most
cases fractional, and the average result has
been shade in favor of the bears. There
are plenty of bears in Wall street to-day
majority of the active spectators aside
from two or three leaders of the market
are bearish, and the rank and file CT room
traders is decidedly bearish. The result is
a steadily increasing short interest, which
is already SO large that several stocks
stand 1@2 per cent. below the current rates
for call loans of money. The general i'm
preston is that there will be no important
change in the market until the elections
next week, although the changes in the
market are so dependent on personal in
fiuences, that without knowing what is go
ing on in the minds of the few men of
large influence it is impossible to more
than guess as to the course of the market
for few points. The considerations
about which judgment can be intelligently
exercised are in favor of higher, rather
than lower prices; and it is moreover
known that the leading capitalists con-
cerned in the market have ten reasons for
being bulls where they have one for being
bears. Mr.. Goulds return, from
the West is anxiously awaited, for
his position in the market is considered to
be very important and desirable fact to
know. Where one person is certain Mr..
Gould is selling, five are positive he
is bulllng, and there are many who are
convinced he is letting the market alone.
It is said that neither Gould nor Keene ara
ready for bull campaign in stocks as yet,
and that the tactics which were successful
last week will continue to be resorted to
until after election, to keep the market at
a point which will prevent of further pur-
chases not far from present prices. Con-
siderable interest attaches to Wabash.
The published statement that the COM
pany has paid off its floating debt, except
an amount not greater than is usually car
ried by railroad corporations, brings all
sorts of bearish rumors and assertions. It
is alleged, however, that the stock is so
over sold that the bears could very easily
be compelled to put the price above 20.
Western men say that the earnings this
winter will be unprecedented in the history
of the company.

CHICAGO, Oct 31.-With view to pro-
tect the interest of the Mutual Union Tele-
graph company and to present the possi-
bility of the control of the stock being
used to the detriment of any stock holde-
or in the interest of any rival company,
majority of the stockholders have joined
together and placed the absolute control of
the company's stock in the hands of trus-
tees for five years. The gentlemen
selected for these trustees are
Geo. T. Parker, president of the First
National bank of New York,
Asa Packer. president of the Maverick
National bank of Boston, and Geo. VIM.
Ballou, the banker of New York and Bos-
ton, who assume the trust and will issue
trustees certificates in lieu of certificates
of stock, transferable on the books of the
Central Trust company, of New York.
These certificates will be listed on the New
York stock exchange, and will be accepted
by banks in New York and Boston as COL
lateral security, the same as stock. They
are, in effect, the stock, and will partici-
pate in the profits, the only difference
being sthat the voting power
is wholly vested in the aforesaid trustees.

company is in healthy financial condi-
ton, and is doing an immense business,
which is daily increasing, The public is
to be congratulated in being thus assured
OF permanent competition in the telegraph

country engaging corn for shipment.
These parties get a rate of 16c a bushel
to New York and 1Oc to Chicago, and will
send most of their corn to New York.
Nothing but protracted spell of wet
weather will prevent deliveries of corn
in November. The high price and large
crops in particular sections will stimulate
holders of corn to hurry it to market.
A dispatch claims that Capt. Manson, a
well known broker there, has just returned
from trip from Arkansas, and following
him as result of his trip was train load
of new corn from that state. In Scott
county Capt. Manson found any amount of
corn for sale, the quality and condition of
which were perfect. Fifteen cars of this

be a big tumble in prices by Nov. Is. The

While Congress is looking after and
providing for the interests of those claim
ants who expect relief from the dstribu.
ton of the Geneva award fund and the
French spoliation fund, which funds, we
concede, should have been long since
paid over to those who have valid claim
upon either, it should not overlook the
other private claimants, whose name is
legion, who are knocking at the doors OF
the two houses for relief, but whose
claims are too small to warrant the Or
ganization of II lobby for their support
The one class of claimants are as meri-
torious rs the other, and delay in the
payment of one is as disastrous to the
best interests of the one as the other
Individual claimants, who are not
bound together by q common inter
est, are less able to make themselves
heard, and their influence felt, than
those who look to payment from sepa.
rate fund, as in the Geneva award, and
for that reason their prayers are the
more liable to lie disregarded. 1t is in
the interest Of this class that we venture
to speak word. This class of claims arc
so numerous and diversified, and many
of them extend so far back in point Of
time, that it is impossible for Congress Ia
deal with them intelligently, even if the
members could command the time to de-
vote to their Investigation. Even after
they have been examined and reported
upon by the proper committees the mass
of them are never reached for final ac'
ton, and thus the labor of the commit
tees in preparing reports are thrown
away Thus the number of private claims
are constantly on the increase; the mem
bers are annoyed almost beyond endur
ance by the persistence of claimants seek
ing relief and the delay which follows
this state of facts amounts to denial Of
justice
There seems TO be but one practical
remedy for this state of things, and that
is to remit all these claimants to a judi
cial tribunal, whore their rights can be
judicially ascertained in accordance with
legal procedure and legal principles
where both the claimant and the Govern

ment can have its day in court; and
where judgment may be rendered in
favor of the party entitled to 1t, as is the
case in suits between individuals. The
old maxims of despotism, that "the king
can do no wrong" and that "the sover-
eign cannot be sued in its own courts"
have long since become obsolete in the
governments of Europe and certainly
they should have no place in republic
like ours, which Mr.. Lincoln designated
as "a government of the people, by the
people, for the people" In all the leading
governments of Europe laws have been
enacted by which the subject and alien
residents, having claims against the gov
eminent, may bring suits against the
crown, or some other officer, to enforce
such claims; and it seems to us that this
is an example which may be safely fol-
lowed in this country. AT any rate, and
in any view which can be taken upon
the subject it is incumbent upon Con-
gress to devise some system that will
afford relief to private citizens who have
claims upon the Government, and the
present Congress will fail largely in its
duty to the people if it adiourns without
the enactment of some such measures.
That Congress realizes the necessity of
some action upon this subject is apparent
from the number of bills which have
been introduced into each House Of the
merit of these bills we have no opinion
to express. All that we deem it proper
TO say is that the measure should be lib
eral in its character, excluding none be-
cause of the character of the claim, and
leaving their merits to be determined by
the judicial tribunals in accordance with
law, as construed and expounded by the
highest courts of the country. TO such
court claimants will gladly resort, and
submit to its decisions, and such tri-
bunal would afford relief to Congress- and
leave the members to the performance of
their legitimate duties-making laws.

with statement Of the North State

said to have been given by him

this time entering into particulars, we
will state that Dr. Mott never attempted
to commit any others, by anything he
said, to the writer of this, but, for him
self he did express his purpose and give
his assurance that he would use his inAu-

out of the Republican State Conven-
