TT0ill De[nneH.

The 2:25 pm. train on river road did not
reach st. Paul until 2:O5 this morning.
The delay was caused by a land slide at
Kings Coolie, a small station between
Wabasbaw and Lake City. Passengers
on the, train say that they first observed
dark clouds, tinged with green, rising over
the bluffs along the river. The train was
near ravine, a small waterspout was
seen coming down this ravine, gathering
in its course, sand, trees and
brush, and in ten min
uues the railroad track was covered for a
distance of one hundred and fifty feet with
this accumulation, to depth of fifteen
feet. When the 12:45 train from st. Paul
reached the obstruction passengers and
baggage were transferred, and the train
returned to this city. Hail stones fell at
Wabashaw as large as walnuts, and the
ground was white with them. Large
boulders weighing nearly ton were mov-
ed and fell on the railroad track and
buried in the rubbish
None of the passengers had heard of
the destruction of the town of
Elgin, but they were confident a terrible
storm of wind was raging in that vicinity.
The hail was followed by tremendous
fall of water, and in several places between
Wabashaw and Lake City the track was
washed out.

A Rough Day for the Contesting Rifemer
Full Particulars.
WIMBLEDON, July 21.-The weather
opened very unpropitious for today
shooting in the international rife match
The rain poured down on the ground int
pools of water. The Americans say they
will make as good shots at long ranges al
the British. 1t will probably be a very
close one.
At 10 a. N. it was raining very hard and
strong wind was blowing from the butts
The Americans have just arrived in camp
and are all we'll and confident
At II a. m. the Americans are proceed
ing to the firing point, though it is still
raining heavily, the sun is trying tt
struggle through the clouds and very
few spectators are on the ground.
At 1922 a. N. the rain has ceased anG
the competitors have just began to blow
off.
At II 40 a. N. it is again raining, with
light varying winds, moderate and blow
ing from the targets.
At 11:45 a. N. the match again opened
with firing at 800 yards range, Young
British, firing first and made a magpie.
The rain ceasing Lowe, British, and Cash
American, both made misses on first shots
At II m. at the sixteenth shot the scor.
ing of the teams was even, both bodies
seem to have got the proper elevation and
the sun is shining brightly.
At 1890 p. m. at the end of the fourth
round, the Americans were twelve ahead
on the days shooting and thunder storm
then raging. Pearse, British, missed on
the sixth. The Americans are shooting
splendidly. Smith made a bullseye fol
the Americans, McVittie, British, missed
his first shot. 1t is raining in torrents.
At p. m. the firing at 800 yards range
has been completed and the result is a
good victory for the visiting rifemen
They scored 34S points, while British made
but $50. The aggregate thus far for the
two days is, American 1,424, British 1,4O0

SPECIAL Telegram to the Globe
New YORK, July 21.-The TRADING on
Change to-day showed remarkably steady
feeling early, and later in the day quite an
advance was made on several stocks.
Business was, of course, much curtailed
and room traders had it all to themselves
the greater part of the day. The closing
quotations show quite firm tone, and
there has been a fair inquiry for good
stocks. The bank statement gives an in
crease in reserves of $1,071, 400. Wander
bilt stocks have been in demand and firm,
and there appears to be a much better feel
ing and many believe in higher and more
active market from now on. Those who
expected the stock market would go to
pieces have changed their mind. From
the time the strikers left the Western
ULion building, the market, instead of
falling to pieces, has been steadily ad
vancing. Then the much abused and ca
Illuminated room traders swung into line
like little men to steady matters and avoid
troublesome and vexatious complications,
social and financial. The market is dull
because it is most natural to be so at pres
ent. Out of town orders are necessarily
slow in coming forward. An active de-
mand might lead to an exciring market.
1t is the policy of the big men to
maintain dull and steady list till the
speculative clans rally. The short interest
appears 10 be increased. New Jersey Cen
tral, New York Central, and Lackawanna
were in good demand. There was some
attempt to sell down Western Union, but
| the support was firm. There was heavy
buying of New York Central and Lake
Shore, understood to be for account of
Mr.. Vanderbilt. The rest of the market
was higher in sympathy with the Wander
bilt shares. Of course there are various
opinions concerning the course of the
markets, the bears as usual claiming the
advance will be lost. An active trader
said, it is no time for me to buy stocks,
covered my shorts as soon as the strike was
announced because 1 knew Mr.. Gould
would sustain and perhaps advance the
market. 1t has turned out precisely so.
Large supporting orders were put into the
market and there has been strength enough
to prevent any break. Stock has been sold
however, at every opportunity as support
ing interest is anxious not to accumulate
stock. AS soon as manipulators think
safe, supporting orders will be withdrawn
and the bears will again have things their
own way. 1t is certain to my
mind as need be that prices will be off
within day or two and that we shall have
marked decline. The strength of Cen
traI and Lake Shore is attributed mainly
to the result of meeting which was a de-
cided Vanderbilt victory.

was terrific in power. The roof Of the
city hall at this place was blown
off. Two passenger cars stand
ing on the track of the Chicago
& Northwestern road were blown
from the track. 1t contained many passen-
gers, some of whom were injured, Con-
ductor Morgan had one arm broken, and
received other injuries that are considered
fatal. He lay unconscious for several
hours. The storm passed through the city
in shorter space of time than it has taken
to write these lines, and continued its
work of destruction all along
through the fine farming country
of that section. No other town lay in its
pathway until it reached the town of
Elgin, in Wabashaw county, which W as
entirely destroyed. Elgin is a small
hamlet of $50 inhabitants on the
branch line of the Chicago & Northwestern
road, running from Chatfeld to Plain
view.
Very meagre reports have been received
from this point, and the loss of life and
property is not known.

transactions made public daily does not in
dlcate this. But the fact is, the bulk of
spot product is purchased at offers of man
ufacturers, and is generally withheld from
the public. Shipments for the week show
up quite literally, and allowing that every
hog slaughtered yields 200 pounds of pro-
duct, we find that our stocks sxe
decreasing moderately, especially lard.
There is a good demand from
abroad for various export cuts, light aver
ages being generally wanted, while the do
mestlc demand is quite good and the trade
exhibits evidence of returning prosperity
and stability. There is marked confidence
manifested in futures, and while very
many believe that the coming winter will
witness relatively low average of values,
the trade leans to the idea that presefit
prices are safe on which to buy, and gen
orally anticipate better markets, this idea
oelng based on assumption that consumers
could hardly anticipate lower level as pro-
duct Is offered now considerable below its
original cost. Packing operations were
restricted the last week owing to reduced
supplies OF hogs, less than 10000 head fall
ing into packers hands. The manufacture
was mainly meats suitable to the foreign
trade, though on account of the predomi-
nance OF heavy weight hogs considerable
proportion of sides, short rib, long clear
and short clear were produced. The lard
yield Is considerably above the average.
At other points in the west packing is pro-
crossing moderately, and to date it is esti-
mated the cutting is about the same in
numbers, while the increase in weight is
estimated as equivalent to 100000 head of
last years average.
John R. Benstey, Peter McGeoch's
receiver, has been paying up his creditors
all day. In addition to about $27O,O0O
previously in his hands, the $780,
600 raised by McGeoch and Daniel
Daniel Wells at Milwaukee arrived last
night and the distribution began at 10
o'clock this morning, and most creditors
have called for their checks. The others
can get them by calling. The $1,4OO,OOO
Indebtedness is now nearly wiped out and
the market manipulators can begin opera
tions again. Ellis & Lightner's $4,000
claim having been settled by receiver

A POOL BOX SEIZURE.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Two deputy sherifs
seized pool box at the Palmer house to-
night within few minutes after it had
been brought from the race track. The
box was in charge of VIM. R. Armstrong
and Ira E. Bride, official pool sellers, and
had been placed under table in the dining
room while the custodians were eating
their supper. The seizure was made at
the suit of John W. Conley, who had a
claim of $4,000 against Armstrong and
Bride for an alleged breach of contract.
The box was found to contain $4,000, and
after abstracting $4,000 and receipting
for the amount the box was returned by
the officers.

THE srE1N-FKEDERIcKs MURDER TRIAL.

KANSAS CRY, July 21.-The testimony
closed this evening in the Stein-F Fredericks
murder trial; the argument begins on
Monday and the case goes to the jury on
Tuesday. The principal witness to-day
was the prisoner, who testified in his own
defense, and contradicted in essential par
ticulars the evidence of the Hartline
woman given yesterday. Albert Phenis,
a reporter, testified that the report as pub
lished by the Times the morning after the
shooting was substantially that given by
the woman at the station. This account
differs in several points from the story
told by her Yesterday.
