Mrs. Blaine and Her Husband.

Washington Correspondence Brooklyn Eagle.
Perhaps no woman who ever lived ever
worked harder for her husband than Mrs
Blaine did, or ever damaged him more The
straw that broke the cancels back was when
Mrs, Blaine, as wife of the Secretary of State
revolutionized the custom of years and an
nouneed that she would return no visits, a
President of the United States. That was
more than anybody could stand. Mrs. Blaine
was unpopular enough before, but that set
tied it. She would not have had many visits
to return, even if she had returned all that
were paid her. Mr.. Blaine has none OF those
ridiculous small vanities-hs follies are all
on a big scale, like trying to hitch South
America on to his own coattails. In society he
is remarkably affable and pleasing and never
showed any spite toward anybody, except
President Arthur. Mr.. Blaine was dying for
a political persecution. He hankered after
a few Sights and snubs, and when the Presi-
dent let him down easy after President Gar
fields death, and invited him to dinner and
paid him all manner of nice little attentions
Mr.. Blaine was the worst disappointed man
on earth. That was not what he wanted.
He did everything he could to irritate the
President, but if there are two characteristic
les which the President possesses above
everything; they are a cool head and an even
temper, and he positively declined to oblge
Mr.. Blaine by declaring war against him.
All of Mr.. Blaine's suggestions were cordi-
ally received even to the putting of Chand-
Ter into the cabinet, which was a nine days
wonder So Mr.. Blaine. against his will, was
denied the glories of martyrdom. Now, it
looks as if it were gong to be Blaine and
Arthur fight, and the preliminary skirmsh
will be at the meeting OF the Republican ma
tional committee.

Board at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The markets opened
weak all around, but soon became stronger
under the very heavy hammering by the
bears" Nearly all the prominent houses
were actively engaged. The posted state
ments of stocks on hand showed an increase
in wheat at this point, and unfavorable re-
ports from abroad would not offset the
"bull' feeling and the effect of heavy COW
erings by the shorts" Schwartz & Duoee
bought heavy line for New York parties
Nearly all the other trading was for
local accounts, except perhaps Lester and
Llndblon, who were operating for New York
parties. On the call the transactions amount
ed to more than 1000, 900 bushels OF wheat
1t is reported that during the day Smith and
Mccormick bought nearly 100000 bushels of
December wheat. Driver and Mari were
heavy investors in May wheat, and Linblom
bought 100000 bushels of JANUARY whe 1t,
200, 900 bushels of it at 81 1@c. There was a
rumor started about hot wheat in New York,
but II was laughed down. 1t seems to be
wheat will commence to diminish. Reports
which influenced the markets somewhat
were purchases of wheat in Baltimore on
Western account, and the strength OF the
New York market about noon.
Cash corn is still fond to be centering in
i'll Lyons's hands, and parties may be called
upon to settle some differences, for ther,

son bought heavily of May corn at 81 &c and
sales were made on the call at 81 &c
Schwartz & Dupee bought large lot
of May corn for Wall street parties
Comstock and Hobbs were buyers and MUIR
ray commenced buying corn this morning.
The market is backed by strong parties wis
are evidently working for higher prices
The receipts of so, 900 hogs and decline
of 10@15c per 100 pounds in their price, de-
pressed the market for the first hour but
Hutchinson took hand and C. Singer and
N. Jones were led to cover their new-year
options. The Chicago Packing Company
were reported to have bought 10000
hogs and it also bought a
lot OF pork and ribs. The sales
which Singer and Baldwin made at the start,
they were glad to cover at the advance, and
Fowler Brothers and other packers were
among the buyers. Armour bought lot of
pork at S12 for February, and January sold
up to that figure, finally closing very firm at
81. 80 on the call. No one can give any rea-
son but that the provision market seems to
be daily growing stronger. However as all
prices are now made by Spectators and
packers, grand scalp may be made with lit
tie or no notice.

LOCUST VALLEY, L. l., Nov. 20.-The soles

picion of being the murderer of the Maybe
family correspond exactly with the casts
taken OF the footprints around Maybe's barn.
Doyle was handcuffed and taken to Brook
vile, and positively identified as a tramp
seen there on Saturday. He exhibited great
nervousness when taken out of the Jail at
Roslyn, and asked the officer to protect him
from the excited crowd. William Henry
Brown persists in the statement that Doyle
showed him the bodies of the murdered on
Saturday.

where Garrett Maybe was sitting and told to
say ''me," and Il will kill YOU" He did so.

the man who spoke to him the day of the
murder Doyle was taken to see the bodies
of the women. He said he had seen them
before. He was taken to the barn and into
the shed where the bodies were found. There
he raised his hands saying Il swear l
never was in this barn before. He was
searched and 81 was found on him. He
said he had given $14 to lawyer at Roslyn.
Among Doyle's money is S. gold-plece.
Maybe says he thinks IS gold-piece was
among the money taken. Doyle's account
of himself part of the day on Saturday is
verified but his whereabouts from IL noon
to $50 on Saturday evening are not ex-
planned
As the examination of Doyle closed, the
floor of the room, crowded with spectators,

Oil Excitement at Lawrenceburg.

zette-
For over two years Mr. s. s. Longabaugh.
OF New York, who is practical oil miner of
over thirty-ive years experience, has been
making scientific investigations of oil coun-
tries, and to-day arrived at Lawrenceburg,
and will proceed to erect oil wells, provided
he is able to get the required amount of land.
1t is estimated by the firm he represents that
1000 acres of land will be wanted and used
by them. Few are aware that this city is on
what is claimed by Mr.. Longabaugh to be the
great oil belt OF this country. The company
will use, in the construction of the first WELL
over $4,000. They will sink on the start, five
or six wells.
Mr.. Longabaugh says: "Oil and gas have
been found near New Albany, Ind, and
have every reason to believe that oil will be
found in large quantities right here near
Lawrenceburg. The belt has been traced
westward and heavy oils are found to bound
it on the north in counties i'll Illinois and
Missouri, and on the south in counties in
Kentucky and Tennessee"

Ex-Vice-President David Davis was in a
towering rage this morning. and it was some
time before his friends could succeed in cool
ing his terrible anger, which was caused by
certain utterances made by Sunday paper
published in this city, the editor of which
had, it seems, bone to pick for some I'M
known cause with Illinois's distinguished
statesman. On yesterday morning, and in
fact ever since the Senator returned home
with his Southern bride, the editor OF the
Sunday Eye has had some bitter denuncia-
tons TO make, and has pitched into the Judge
right and left, bitter articles appearing COM
planning that be has been a detriment rather
than benefit to the city; mentioning his
stlngi ness and citing numerous cases OF the
most exaggerated financial closeness in small
dealings. These and other articles have been
published weekly in the above paper, but it
seems that nothing so exasperated the Sena-
tor as the item published on last Sunday
which said that "Mrs. Davis was one day last
week up in the garnet at the old homestead
hunting for the family crib This capped
the climax and the Judge, when he came
down town this morning, read the paper,
and for hours his anger was terrific.
