A BAD BREAK AT CHICAGO
THE BULLS STAMPEDED BY
THE BEARS.

After Reports from the Failures the
Cause.-The Prices Knocked from I'm
der Pork, Wheat and Lard-Lard
Lower than when Mceeoch, Everine-
ham & Co. Failed
CHICAGO, June 28.-Markets on Change
suffered another bad break this morning,
and the forenoon session was marked by
uneasiness and at times great excite
ment. The depression in prices extended
to provisions and grain as we'll, but was
more especially felt in pork and waeat.
Pork has shown steady and heavy de-
cline during the past three days,
and this morning took tum-
bic of 421<@50c. Lard de-
clied ~ to 1719 cents, making the quo
tations for July options less than that
touched on the day of the failure of
McGeoch. Wheat which has displayed
weakness for a week past dropped IL to
% cents per bushel in addition to-day.
These declines renewed all uneasiness of
the past two weeks, and the announce
ment was made at noon that
Ill. .. Kenyon Il Co. and John Sinclair
had succumbed. They have been dealing
in grain, but were rated as very extensive
dealers. One cause assigned for the un-
usual weakness displayed by the market
is the bad showing made by the firms of
McGeOch, Everingham & Co., and NJ. S.
Nichols IL Co., particularly the latter firm,
from whom better report as to assets
had been anticipated.

OHIO.
The ManipulatiOns of Hon. Samuel j.
Tilden.

cleoeland (O.) Special.
The candidate for Senator whom Ward
has to fear and who will beat him is the
Hon. Henry b. Payne, once Congress-
man from the Twentieth Ohio Dis
trict by the help of money and
the Hon. Dick Parsons unpopu-
larlty. But in the series of political
schemes that bearing fruit will be con-
summated in 1884, Payne's nomination
and election will be but the second act.
Hoadly's nomination was the first. The
greatest is then to follow, and it is none
less than carrying the Ohio electoral vote
for Samuel j. Tilden in 1884.
The Greystone Sage's ''fine Italianv
hand was in the Hoadly nomination. He
knew and trusted the Cincinnati iurist.
who assisted in his case before the
Electoral Commission. Payne also
was one of the body. HOadly knew
Tilden's wishes at Cincinnati in 1880.
and would have acted up to them
had not the balance of the delegation,
and especially Ward, held him to Thur
man, who was more of power then than
now. Tilden dallied; was not a candi-
date; hoping, yet undecided. as he had
been once before, fatally; was afraid to
order anything, and Hancock got
the New York vote. Corporation
Counsel of New York, Whitney, had
Ork delegation, hut Ohio hesitated and
lost Its chance. Whitney is fully in the
confidence of Tilden and is also Henry r,
Payne's sOn-in-law, He was here short
time ago, but left for Paris on the news of
the death of one child and serious i'll
ness of two more. Two Til
den henchmen, A. c. Canda
and w. I'll. Barnum, both of the national
organization when Tilden made his big
fight in 1875, have been here during the
last two weeks, have been to Columbus
also, and rumor says that HOadly, Payne,
and they met here and discussed some
weighty plan less than two weeks ago.
All this fits in with the idea of the triple
alliance, acknowledgements 1t is
winning combination, too, so far as the
Democracy is concerned. Let the old
thing kick as it likes the slate will 90
through. Republican success alone can
break it. That looked far away a week
ago, but now is coming nearer.
The rural Democracy are hufy from one
end of the State to the other, and the Re
pqblicans ready for hard yet silent
fight. Reduced majorities even will en-
courage them, and the fight will be re-
newed until either Samuel j. TiIden, of
New York, does or does not secure the

An Exciting Incident in the Investiga-
tiOn of the Granite Frauds.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-In the Hill
investigation to-day, the counsel for Mr..
Murch call for all the vouchers for money
paid Bartlett, Robbins lS Co., and their
successors, Hayward, Robbins & Co.,
since 1876. He coupled this demand with
the charge that Bartlett, Robbins
n Co. had secured nearly all the contracts
for tiling since the advent of Mr.. Hill as
supervising architect, and had been en-
abled to do so through corrupt influences
in the architects office, although not the
lowest bidders.
The counsel for Mr., Hill eXcitedly de-
nounced this statement as a slander.
The committee decided that these
vouchers must be produced, and ad-
jOurned for the day to give the prosecu-
tiOn an opportunity to inspect them.

Mr.. Norman Hunt, of No. 1863 Chestnut

1888, saying:
Having the affiiction eau sed by kidney
and liver diseases, and after enduring the
aches, palms, weakness and depression
incident thereto un til body and soul were
nearly distracted, sought for relief and
cure from my trouble, and was told bv
a friend who had been cured by It
himself, that the best and only
sure cure was Hunts Remedy.
ana upon his recommendation
l commenced taking it, and the first few
doses improved my condition in very
marked manner, and a continuance of its
use has justified all that my friends claim
ed for it-that 1t was sure and perma-
nent cure for all diseases of the kidneys
and liver. Several CT my friends In
Springfield have used it with the most
gratifying results, and feel it my duty
as well as pleasure to me to recommend
Hunts Remedy in the highest possible
terms.''
