The Artillery Shoot.
lSDecial Telegram to the Globe.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
NEW ORLEANS, March 15.-The proposed
artillery shoot under the auspices of the
Washington artillery has assumed pleas
ing proportions and promises to become
one of the military and sporting events
of the year. A number of the batteries
which became famous during the war have
expressed desire to test their skill in
spending ball at fight against the
younger members of the Washington ar
tillery. Besides the regular 6etachments
of the latter body it is expected that Fen
ner's battery of the army of the Tennes-
see, the Donaldsonvffle artillery, the Fifth
company of the Washington artillery,
the Louisiana guard battery and the vet
erans of the army of northern Virginia
will participate. At a meeting of the
officers last night it was decided that an
effort will be made to have the Grand Army
of the Republic participate in the shoot,
thus presenting the interesting spectacle
of those who wore the blue and wearers of
the gray firing side by side. The contest
will take place at one of the lake ends and
the time will be in May, when the militia
of other states will be represented here, ,and
will probably swell the list of entries. The
prospect of an artillery shoot is a novel
one and will attract considerable attention.

New YORK, March 15.-The stringency
in the money market which continues acts
as damper on stock speculation, and the
dealings to-day have been on more limit
ed scale even than on yesterday. Prices de-
clined during the morning hours, and Wa
bash preferred was especially weak, sell
ing at 49. There were slight improve
ments in the last hour, though prices were
trife lower in most instances than on
last evening. Rock Island is reported as
showing gain of 10 per cent. IN earnings
SO far during the present month, and the
stock is we'll held. Central Pacific, on
the other hand, in February was $297, ,OOO
behind. New York Central is quoted ex-
dividend of per cent. At the end the
market was perfectly stagnant, with
but little prospects of anything be-
ing done until funds become more
abundant. The rate on call to-day ranged
from - to Is. The Twenty-third street
bull interest is very confident of establish
ing higher range of prices. Conserva-
tive brokers say that it is not good time
to buy stocks, as the bears will undoubted-
ly do their best work in the money market
during the next two weeks, and they may
succeed in creating a money pressure
which will bring a declise. Two weeks
later their opportunity will have passed,
and stocks can then be bought with more
safety. When the money market began to
harden, few weeks ago, the professionals
engaged in an effort to advance prices, en-
deavored to make it appear that the strin-
gency was due to manipulation. The con-
dition of the banks as published from
week to week has been suffi-
cient to answer this pretense.
The stringency is due to natural and inev-
liable causes, and has already become so
severe as to have hastened business failures
in various sections. In the nature of things
money will continue to become dearer for
weeks to come.
A squirt in Wabash was made in conse-
quence of a rumor that the property was
to be leased to the Iron Mountain, in order
that it may become part of the Missouri
Pacific system. Under some existing COM
plication or law, the Wabash property
could not be leased to the Missouri Pacific,
but by leasing to the Iron Mountain, which
is a part of the Missouri Pacific system,
the end is accomplished. Mr.. Russell Sage
says that the stockholders of both compa-
nies at their meeting in st. Louis decided
that the lease of the Wabash to the Iron
Mountain was desirable thing, and that
it should be done if the two companies can
agree upon terms, but no terms have yet
been agreed upon.

CROP PROSPECTS.

Dubious Indications From the Southwest.
New YORK, March ia private letter
from gentleman travelling through the
Southwest records the following memo
randa: Through northern Ohio, southern
Michigan and some parts of Indiana, far
mers are in much doubt about the out
come of their winter wheat There has
been very little snow on the ground and
they are afraid repeated thawing and
freezing will have killed good deal of
the seed. People living along the Miss
1sslppi do not look for much trouble
from high water. The alluvial deposits
resulting from an overflow, act as fertil-
izer, Cotton lands have thus far been
greatly enriched. st. Louis business men
tell me that general business has much
improved since the 1st of March, and a
good year is expected. The Wabash road
Is doing an immense passenger business,
and is carrying numerous emigrants for
the Southwest. In the wheat regions of
Missouri and Illinois farmers report much
damage done to the crops by the warm
days and freezing nights. Many farmers
are plowing up their wheat fields and SOW
ing them with flax.

sy Reed, trustee Of the Dime Savings bank,

posit. Reed said this balance had been
paid Thomson already, and when Thomson
insisted that it had not, Reed said to him
in the presence of bystanders: "If you
say you have not received the 81, you are
thief and liar" The declaration adds,
''end by means and in consequence thereof
the plaintiff was and is grievously distress
ed, troubled, and harrassed in This mind
and spirits, and was thrown and fell into a
serious nervous prostration, and became
sick and disordered and has so remained
and continued for long time, to wit:
from thence to hitherto"

expressed an understanding that it was
not confined to the limits of direct exam
ination, but when defendant went upon
the stand he threw himself open as
far as the whole case was concerned.
The court conceded in that view.
Witness was asked if he had not been
allowed compensation up to the limits
fixed by the afidavits in each of the nine
teen routes.
He answered that all were expedited at
less than pro rata.
Court-You don't include the Bismarck
Tongue river route?
Ans.-Yes sir, that was expedited at less
than pro rata.
Bliss-He means by pro rata based on
Miners $50 men affidavit.
Ingersoll-He means the affidavit laid
before him for action.
Court-That affidavit contemplated a
fight with the Indians l suppose.
Bliss inquired of the witness if one
man was required for every ten miles of
route.
de answered, as 1t was new route, run
ming through the bad lands of Dakota and
infested with hostile Indians, he did not
think it too many. Still, while they &C
cepted the affidavit, they did not make the
expedition on that basis.
He was asked how far the schedule re-
quired horse to travel per day.
Objection was made and sustained. That
is like the story of the Irishman, who
asked how far it was to the town.
Ingersoll-That is out of order.
Interrupted the Court-An Irishman al
ways is. Laughter.
Bliss asked how it was that the rejected
affidavit and offer to carry mail for less
than pro rata had been received on the
same day.
Witness said they might have been re-
ceived at different hours. His recollection
on that point was not distinct.
Witness was asked if he knew any way
to regulate expedi ton better than that of
using the contractors affidavit.
He answered that as general rule there
was no better way.
Bliss-Even where contractor has had
no experience.
Answer-You don't expect me to answer
that question.
Bliss-Why not?
Answer-It is so ridiculous. Laughter.
Witness went on to say that he regarded
the contractors as honest men, and did not
care snap of his finger whether they had
experience or not. There was no better
rule he added. Adjourned.

MILWAUKEE, March 15.-Mrs. James
Floss, well to do widow lady residing on
the West side, started East few days ago
on a very peculiar mission. Her objective
point is Albany, n. Y, where she goes to
confer with the relatives of the late Thos.
e. Van Loon, who lost his life by the New
hall fire. The lady says she was engaged
to Mr.. Van Loon, and that their marriage
was to have taken place this spring. 1t is
said that she has documents to prove
her claims, and thinks that she is entitled
to at least portion of the large estate
left by the retired capitalist. She will
confer with Mr.. Van Looms relatives with
that end in view. 1t is reported that if
her mission is not successful she will take
the matter into the courts and endeavor to
show that she has a just claim on portion
of the wealth. A week ago Mr.. Snyder,
the husband of Mr.. Van Looms adopted
daughter, who is the assignee, came to
Milwaukee, but for some reason his visit
was kept so quiet that no one knew of his
presence here until after his departure.
1t is limited that the West side
lady who has put in claim for part of
the dead mans riches was very anxious to
have a conference with Mr.. Snyder, and
for that reason his stay here was short and
his business was transacted without any
great hurrah. Spicy developments are ex-
pected by the few people who are watching
the movements of the West-side claimant.
The late Mr.. Van Loon was a retired CAPT
talist of Albany, N. Y, but had resided
here for eight years. He left over $780,
| 900, most of which was in cash. On his
person when his body was taken from the
morgue was found bonds, cash and securi-

STEAMER BURNED,
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 15.-Last night
at 8 O'Clock, about mile above Lewisport,
the steamer Enquirer, going up, collided
with the Dora Cobbler, coming down,
striking her just forward of the fire doors.
She sunk to the boiler deck in about four
minutes, when she took fire in the ladies'
cabin and upper works, and burned to the
waters edge. Everybody escaped, and
were taken to Lewisport, by the ENQUIRER.
The crossing of signals, by the Enquirer,
caused the accident.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 15.-The En-
quirer has just arrived. Captain Creder
and the pilot, Marion Ryan, say they heard
no signals from the Cobler, so they blew
two whistles, but receiving no answer,
stopped the boat and backed her, but too
late to prevent the accident, as the Cobler
was coming ahead. Captain Adams and
his pilot, John Lankford, say they blew for
the left side, and were answered by two
signals for the right side, which they ac-
cepted, and just as the Enquirer struck the
Cobler the engineer again blew one whistle.
