made the raid, and who are still at liberty.
Mrs Jacobs was alone in the store, and her
two infant children in back ROOM Since
the assault she has been speechless. Last
evening her attending physicians held
consultation, and they believe that she
cannot possibly recover. She was
still alive this morning, but gradually
sinking. a man giving the name of
John Mcdonnell was arrested at 80 this
afternoon near Paddy Rysn's saloon on
State street by Officers Curtis and Shan
ley, on suspicion of being the person who
assaulted Mrs. Jacobs last Monday in her
store at 1925 State street. He was brought
to the Harrison street station, and found
in his appearance and dress to accord ex-
actly with the description given of the
thief, who made the assault on Mrs. Jacobs
which will probably cost her her life.

commission of the board, and the hearing
extended nearly one month, the losing
operators arguing that the market had
been cornered by 2 clique, and cited as an
instance the price CT cash wheat. The case
had additional interest as il is test one.

price at $135, at which figure the op-
orators were ordered to make good their
differences in anticipation Of the report of
the committee, the matter was carried
into the court and the board Of trade were

ling nature. To this the board Of trade

sufficient, under which 10 discipline the
board members. The lower court decided
