LONDON, Aug. 27.-The captain of the
tug Recovery, which was towing the steam
er Woodburn when she was run into and
sunk by the French steamer st. Germain.
states that he had two bright lights at the
tugs masthead, clear indications that she
had a vessel in tow. The st. Germain, he
says, ported her helm at the last moment,
thus causing the collision. The damage to
the st. German is so great that she will
only be patched at Plymouth and then be
sent to France for complete repairs

sion of the steamer st. Germain. The
owners of the lost steamer Woodburn are
taking proceedings to recover damages
from the owners of st. Germain. The

The committee submitted tae following
proposition:
ST. PAUL, Aug. %, 1883.
To the Chairman of the Committee on
Supplies, Board of Education:
Dear Sir: We estimate cost of putting
up and connecting six No. 158 Boynton's
Salamander furnaces in double castings
and connecting same to each loom in the
respective school buildings, furnishing al
hot air pipes, registers, ventilators
register boxes and smoke pipe, hampers
and hot air pipes and smoke pipe, and al
that is necessary to complete the furnaces
in every particular for $435 for
each furnace. The No. 158 furnace is the
largest made in the country. 1t is amply
large for doing the work required of il
and will prove in years cheaper than the
next size smaller, which would answer your
purpose of heating to seventy degrees for
few years. Yours very respectfully,
PRENDERGAsT Bros.
P. S.-These furnaces are SO arrang &c
that you can burn wood in the mild
weather of spring and fall. P. Bios.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug 27.-Quite unex-
pectedly values are higher to-day and quite
firm feeling has prevailed. There is no
reason whatever for the improvement, but
rather the reverse. movement started
in the cow market, where the depressing
effect of the largest receipts of the season
was more than overcome. Rumors of a
frost in Minnesota did the business. Quite
an amusing story hangs on the frost ru-
mors, and may be worth repeating as an
indication of how nervous both the stock
and produce markets are, and how pre-
carious the condition of the corn crop is
thought to be. wealthy customer
of prominent commission firm
here, Schwartz & Dupee, came in this
morning and bought 1000 shares st.
Paul for investment, paying 1907 there
for. Shortly after, the deal having then
been made in New York, he returned, look
ing rather anxious, to inquire what effect
a frost in Minnesota would have on his
property. To satisfy him, inquiries were
sent to the five Gotham correspondents of
the house here, the probable influence of a
frost on Northwestern stocks being asked.
All replied that it would be disastrous.
This started the rumor in Wall street.
Stocks sold off sharply. st. Paul went
down cent, and the Chicago buyer
was left.

THE BRITISH GRAIN MARKETS.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press, in review of the British grain
trade the past week, says the fine weather
the past fortnight has had an inestimabIe
effect on the crops, which are being
threshed and marketed very fast, but the
present indications are that the wheat crop
of the united kingdom this year will be
one of the smallest ever known. Trade
the past week in foreign wheat off stands
is quite demoralized by the sunshine. In
off coast cargoes trade almost nothing was
done. The sales of English wheat during
the week were 37,6O3 quarters at ABS Sd
per quarter against 1904 quarters at
AIS 10d the corresponding week last year.

TWO TRAINS WRECKED IN A COLLISION.
WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 27.-At 1920
o'clock this morning collision occurred
on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & st. Louis
road, about mile west of Mingo Junction,
Ohio, where the memorable disaster of 1878
occurred. The Cincinnati express going
west and the second section of the east
bound freight train, came together at full
speed on curve where high hill extends
for a third of a mile. Both engines were
completely demolished, and four freight
cars loaded with pork in boxes, lard in bar
rels, and oats in bulk, and the mail and ex-
press cars of the passenger train, were re-
duced to kindling wood.
Owing to the character of the road
where the accident occurred trains ap-
preaching cannot be seen until close upon
each other. The engineer of the passenger
train, Chas. Wolfe, noticed the approach
ing freight train and applied the air
brakes and reversed the engine, but this
had but little effect before the approach
ing freight train, composed of thirty cars
and coming down grade crashed into him.
The passenger coaches and sleepers kept
the track and the passengers escaped with
slight bruises and severe shaking up.
VIM. P. Hoyt, of Indianapolis, postal
clerk, had leg broken and was badly
crushed so that he will die. He was sur
rounded by debris requiring chopping to
release him.
j. B. Newman, postal clerk of Indianap-
oils, was slightly hurt.
Chas. Wolfe, engineer of the passenger
train, had a limb amputated and was badly
bruised about the body and head, but will
recover.
T. Watson and A. n. Brown, postal
clerks of Indianapolis, and Joseph Little,
colored porter in the postal car, are all
slightly hurt.
The engineer of the freight and both
firemen jumped when they saw the danger,
but Engineer Wolfe stuck to his post.
The accident was the result of the care
lessness OF Conductor Swaney, of the
freight. The passenger train was ten min
utes late and the freight thirty minutes
late. The latter had telegraphic orders to
go to Mingo not later than HOO. The
conductor didn't read the order and thought
the operator said l 80 a. N. The wrecking
train was sent at once to the spot and
traffic will be resumed early.
