THE WEAK RATES IN PROVISIONS
ManipuIations in the Wheat Market-lndi-

Corn-Better Outlook in
the Coke Trade.

New YORK, July 15.-Special kilograms
to Bradstreets' from the leading business
centres show that, while the customary
midsummer dullness prevails in various
departments of business the gains hereto
fore noted have been we'll maintained.
While there have been several notable dis
turbances in industrial lines, none OF them
have been sufficiently widespread to effect
the situation as a whole. The distribution
Of dry goods, hats and caps, boots and
SHOES, clothing and notions have sustained
q noticeable falling away customary at this
season of the year. Yet at the extreme
East there are signs of the beginning of the
Autumn buying.
In the Wheat Market
an unusual amount OF manipulation has
taken place. Discouraging and, in part,
unfounded rumors have been made public
as to the condition of the Red River re.
gions, Minnesota and Dakota. The locusts
in Persia and the cholera along the line Of
the Suez Canal have further cooperated to

points to a relatively better crop of Indian
corn than OF wheat, and estimates OF the
prospective crop vary from sixteen to
eighteen hundred million bushels. The
latest telegraphic news to Bradstreets
from the Northwest encourages the belief
in the prospect of good crop, inasmuch
as copious rains have set in and relief the
effect of a prolonged drought. This is cor
roborated by other and independent ad.
vices since received.
Weak Rates I'm Provisions.
Provisions have declined during the
week. The talk OF yellow fever at the
South, combined with the agitation in Ger.
many relative to the export OF lard from
the United States TO that country, has gone
far to depress prices, but free selling and
failure at Chicago and rumOrS OF others
went further, aud the week witnessed a
material decline. This was, OF course,
abetted by free arrivals of hogs at the
West.

BROTHERS IN THE RING.
A Trivial Quarrel Which Led to a
Brutal Contest - The Participants
Badly Used Up.

Badly Iseu Up.
PHILADELPHIA, July ia special dis.
patch to the Times says that the village OF
Gibraltar, on the Reading railroad, great
ly excited over a fight between brothers
who are prominent citizens of the place.
For long time there has been a grudge
between Clarence and George Waldeman.
The handsome residence of the former,
near the station, always attracts the aiten-
ton of travellers. The estrangement be-
tween them was caused by trivial dispute
about the quality of stock, but no one
thought it would result in more than
suspension of conversation. The other day
Clarence met George at the hotel and &C.
cused him of having boosted of his
Fighting Powers,
and OF having threatened to whip him,
Clarence The brother denied the charge,
but at the same time intimated that he
might be prevailed on to fight.
You're afraid to fight me in the ring,
said Clarence, putting his brawny fist
under his brothers nose. IF ye'er amt,
we'll settle it right here
The bruSque challenge was promptly ac-
cepted, and several Reading fishermen,
who had been attracted by the noise, vol
unteered to act as seconds. A ring was
marked out on the ground, and four brutal
rounds were fought. Clarence is 5 feet
inches in height and weighs about 10
pounds. His brother, George, is l inch
shorter and tips the beam at 100 pounds.
In the Last Round
the men clutched and fell to the ground
with the heavier man on top. .Tubon
rolled of, ,aa9dRf t6Gked in deadly embrace
they engaged in fierce struggle for
supremacy. In the midst of it furious
thunder storm which had been gathering
broke. The rain came down in torrents,
but the men fought on, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that they could be separ'
sted. Both were fearfully punished, their
faces being knocked out of shape, and both
we're bleeding copiouslv. The Reading
men who acted as seconds hastily departed
for home TO avoid arrest.

THE GOOD WORK OF OUR RIFLE TEAM.
The League Base Ball Race Narrowing
Down to a Close Contest-The Ameri-
can Association in About the
Same Attitude.

NEw YoRN, July l5.-The fancy" had q
treat yesterday morning in the shape Of a
prize fight between two lads at Fort Ham,
ilton. 1t came off at half.past six, not a
hundred miles from the house occupied by
'Red Leary," and was not Of very long
duration. Time for the first round was
called al half.past six \. NJ, and the sponge
was thrown up at four minutes to seven
The principals were Harry Streets, of this
city, bar attendant at Billy McGlory's,
ana Morris Murphy, the amateur cham
pion of the
Featherweights OF EngIa1d.
The fight was with "hald gloves" for
purse of $500, and was gotten up in the in
terest of 'science" and for the avowed pur-
pose OF testing the powers OF Murphy for
future speculative reasons. Seven rounds
were fought and Mr.. Murphy was worsted.
Harry Streets is a black.eyed boy, aged
nineteen, short and thickset. He tipped
the scales at l32 pounds. Morris Murphy
is 81 years old, about the same stature as
Streets and four pounds heavier. The bat.
tie was hot while it lasted.
The Fight.
Time was called when the men had
stripped and put on their gloves They
stepped quickly to the scratch and the
tight began.
Round Ito say that there was anything
like fancy sparrlng would be erroneous;
for the two youngsters were quite anxious
TO test each others prowess and capacity.
Mr.. Streets at first thought he was about TO
encounter clever man. but soon discov-
cred that he could beat him. There was
the usual amount OF sparring for an open
ing lodging and ducking and all the other
tactics so elowingIy described by the
Chloniclers OF prize lighting, before the
actual business began. Then the lads
struck out, Countered, Iibbed, locked and
were parted. Tie round ended without
any decided advantage to either.
Rounds 2is7.
The conflict was carried on with varying
success from the beginning of the second
round until the close Of the seventh.
During the progress OF the battle it became
apparent that Murphy was oyermatched
on this occasion, and was fought all over
the ring and down. Harry Streets stuck to
him with bulldog gameness and Murphy
was indomitab.e in his efforts 10 win. Bat
the gods were against him and at the close
Of the seventh round he was fought to
standstill and his seconds merCifully threw
up the sponge. Time, 25 minutes and IS
seconds.
The fancy" present were satisfied with
the result, and returned 10 the city wiser
about Mr.. Murphy's capacity as a boxer.
Harry streets came back TO his old haunts
with black eye and several discolOrations
on his right temple and left jaw, but other
'se not much the worse for the fight.

How Little Emily Jackson Ended
Her Troubles.
Her Attempt to Commit Suicide and the
Happy SequeI-An interesting Story
About a Young Floridian.

RRooKLYN, July l5.-The young Floridan
who on the 5th inst, attempted to commit
suicide by taking red oxide Of mercury, vas
committed to jail few days ago by Justice
Massey, under the name of Emily Jackson.
Yesterday she left the prison as Emily Sc
comb. The young woman is but seven
teen years of age, and came up North sever
al months ago. Her parents wanted her to
marry an old Cuban tobacco dealer, who is
in business in New York, but while board
ing at 37S Fulton Street, the girl met Geo.
Secomb, dashirg young fellow, employed
as salesman in Fulton Street store, and
on this youth she centered all her atfec'
tious. Emily is a rather pretty brunette,
isSome and petite in form, and Mr.. Sc
comb was not by any means unfavorably
disposed 10 the girl. Her parents, however,
pressed her
To Marry the Old Tobacco Dealer
and she Confided to George her troubles. He
proposed as a way out OF the difficulty that
she marry him, and on the Fourth George
and Emily trudged all over town looking
for minister 10 marry them. Nearly all
that night Emily stayed out with George
and as she was afraid next day to go to the
place where she had been employed as a
servant she proceeded to the house OF Mrs.
Gates, a friend, on Waverly near Park
avenue. There she was visited on the
morning of the Sd by young Secomo and
the pair had a lovers quarrel. He left her
in a passion and Immediately thereafter
she wrote two letters of farewell and took
dose Of
Red Oxide Of Mercury.
Then she told Mrs. Gates what she had
done aud antidotes were promptly and
successfully administered. After her re-
covery she was taken before Justice Massey
on q charge of having attempted TO commit
suicide, and she was committed to Jail
pending trial. She has been in the lookup
only few days, but while there young
SecOmb has been a constant visitor upon
her. Yesterday Secomb went to the Court
of Sessions and told Clerk York that he
wanted to marry Emily. He recited to
the clerk the story Of the girls woes and
said that he always had
Intended 10 Marry Emily.
Mr. York, anxious as he always is too see
other people made happy, gave his con-
sent to the ceremony, and accompanied by
Assistant District Attorney Backus George
proceeded TO the Jail. There was an atfec'
uonate greeting between the youthful low
ers and when Emily was informed OF the
real object of Georges visit her face be-
came radiant with pleasure. A messenger
was sent for Chaplain Bass, and that cler-
gyman hurried to the all and in the pres
ence of the warden and the keepers per
formed the ceremony which changed EN-
ily's name from Jackson to Secomb. The
newly welded pair left the Jail immediate
" after the ceremony, and Mrs. Secom5
promised the representative OF the District
Attorney that she would be ready TO ap.
pear in court when wanted to answer to
the charge Of attempted suicide.

FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
That IL the Way McGeOch & 60. Will
Settle Their Indebedness-Big Lard
SaIea


CHICAGO, July l5.-Every creditor Of the
late suspended firm Of McGeoch, EVering-
ham & Co., who failed for S6,000O00, has
signed the fifty per cent. compromise, so il
is said and the $4,000 cash to pay uu Sc
cured creditors is TO be sent here on Tues
day. 1t is expected the firm will be reor.
ganized and resume business in about a
month. Its commission business before the
failure was worth $500, 900.
Lard Sales.
1t is stated that within the last four
weeks 100000 tierces of lard, worth over
$4,000, 600, have been shipped from this
city. On one hand it is claimed that these
shipments by large houses are not sales,
but merely cOnsignnAnts TO agents to sell
on order. On the other hand it is affirmed
that they represent actual sales, and that
Englishmen are swapping up all the lard
obtainable, and that lard houses are run
ming to their full capacity, and are two
weeks behind orders.
