MARKET REVIFW.

The msrke: opened firm in Chicago to
day There was general advance all
along the line. The closing was firm,
with good feeling. The closing quota
tons were: August wheat, 81 COS; Sep
TENDER, 81 O23; October, $104t. August
corn, Sec September, 51i; October, SIT,
July oats, 35bc; August 28!; September,
274. August pork, S13,45; September,
$13 20; October 1873. August lard,
Ss374; September, IS 55; October, SS,62.
Yesterdays Closing quotations; August
wheat, 81, September, S1.02s; August
corn, 51s; September, 51s; October, 51t.
July oats, S4l; August 90. August pork,
$13.123; September s13.52; October,
1886. August lard, $3.50; September,
$8. 40; October, $3.50 From compar-
ison of the above quotations it can be
seen that the advance has been very graf
flying. Dealers evidently looked at sf-
fairs in the right light, and became con-
WINGED that rise in the market must be
made, or panic would take place if the
drop continued much longer.

THE MINISTERS REASONS.

Mention has heretofore been made of
the refusal of the ministers of Keithburg
to preach the funeral of Blair, the man
who shot his unfaithful wife, and then
committed suicide Rev. fumes in his
pulpit. gave his congregation his excuse
It was to the effect that ''he had never
preached in house of i'll fame and never
would" He also told newspaper man
that blair had lived like hog. died like
hog, and could be buried like a hog" p
This may sound very well from a
worldly point of view, but when il comes
to the religious point of view, as taught
by Christ, il won't wash. Christ the
greatest of all preachers-the Son of God
taught differently than Rev. Humes.
Christ did not hesitate to heal all who
came to him, even the scarlet women
were healed, and bid to 'fgo and sin no
more"

Hwy the Lanetv swims.

A great sensation seems to have been
caused at Long Branch on the Fourth of
July because Mrs Laugtry took bath,
and the New York papers state that go,
900 people witnessed her additions. The
report says. She emerged from her
bathing room dressed in an olivette
bathing costume of blue flannel trimmed
with red. Mrs Langtry swims with a
chest stroke, taking long strokes. The
crowd frequently applauded her, to which
the lady responded by swimming under
the water and doing various little oddities
Freddie stood looking on from the
bluff. He was dressed in a duck suit.
with muslin cravat, and straw hat He
seemed to enjoy the applause immensely
and was by no means sparing of ii
himself The full protection Of Mrs
Langtry's figure was seen at its best in
the new role she assumed as one Of the
goddesses of the sea. He motion was
easy and graceful Altogether she was
perhaps three quarters of an hour in the
water Upon resuming her walking attire
she wore tight-fitttng steel-colored silk
costume, hat of similar material, strong
thick boots, and light parasol."

OLD CORDOVA.
The Town Shaken Up by Fearful
Tornado. Accompanied by Hail.
Buildings UnrOOfed, Windows Broken
The Inhabitants Forced Into
Their Cellars for Safety.

The storm last evening played havoc
with the town of Cordova. 1t was the
heaviest ever known there, and for many
years the inhabitants will recoilect it, and
from this on every thing in that town will
be dated from the great storm o. July
18th, 1888" The storm stories of 'the
oldest inhabitants" will sink into insig-
nifcance by the side of it.
About dark, the citizens noticed dull,
grayish cloud approaching from the north
east 1t advanced with fearful rapidity,
and with roar resembling hundred
heavy freight trains The inhabitants felt
as though their time had come. The air
was hot, almost oppressive, and not
breeze was stirring; but they felt that as
soon as that wind struck the town, they
would have air enough.
They were not compelled to wait long,
for it came with tremendous crash and
roar, carrying everything before it, The
all was filled with flying missiles. A large
pile of hooppoles near the river bank
were scattered in the air, and thrown all
! over town. A large barn belonging to
Mr. Marshall was leveled to the ground,
and the timbers scattered for hundreds of
feet. A stone blacksmith shop was
| unroofed, and the walls shattered.
In few minutes, hail com
menced to fall coming down with
such force, and such large pieces, as to
break every window on the north side of
the buildings in the town. Every build
ing shook and trembled. Out houses
were leveled to the ground, trees up.
rooted or torn down, and fences lifted up
and carried away.
Mr.. James V. Bailey. of Cordova, was
in the city to-day, and gave an account
of the affair. When the storm ap.
preached he, in company with about fif
teen others, was sitting in front of store
when they saw the storm approaching
He started for home, but before he could
reach his residence the storm struck him,
and he was compelled to cling to post
to prevent the wind carrying him away
He reached the house at last, where he
found his wife and chill dren in the cellar
W. d. Weber was prepared for such
a calamity, for he had constructed a
cave, and when the storm approached he
took his family into it He says that
last nights experience taught him the
value of it, Mr.. Marshall also has a cave,
into which he hurried his family when
the storm approached. Everybody who
was able to get into a cellar got there,
and felt thankful for the opportunity
Others who were caught in the storm only
saved themselves by lying fiat on the
ground and clinging to something sub
stantial, The c., NJ. & st. 2. train was
delayed there several hours on account OF
the storm. Luckily no lives we've lost.
The damage to property will reach sew
eral thousand dollars
