GENERAL REMARKs.-The general market
has not developed any new features calling
Tor special mention. Its condition has been
more or less dun and unsettled. and the
demand not fattering for an early improve
meut. Operations have continued on a
very moderate scale. Trade in pretty
much au lines was slow. Buyers and sellers
are not al all inclined to push business under
the existing nervous feeling in commercial
2fairs. The strngency Of the money mar
ket operates TO keep business down.
While the banks are refusing
loans, they are not calling in old ones. The
security market continues inactive. and. in
fact. all stocks and bonds are weak. The
most marked Is Central Railroad stock.
which has declined several points. Prices
90 the staple articles are quite hrm
and unchanged. except for corn. in which
there has been sharp advance. For the con-
aiuons and quotations Of the different arti-
Giles see another column.

was little doing, the market being rather
unsteady and unsettled, prices steadily de
Ginning throughout the week. The demand

A COWARDLY CUR
Calvin Beals Attempted Assassin
alton of Miss Annie Griggs,
at Tacoma, w. T.

Word was received yesterday in this
city of the attempted assassination OF Miss
Annie Griggs, lady well known here, by
Calvin Besle, at Tacoma, w. T., on Friday
last. Miss Gr;ggs manages the Western
Union telegraph Office at Tscoms. Beal
hastily entered the telegraph Office, and
made loud and excited inquiry concern
ing telegram, and, without the slightest
provocation, suddenly drew a pistol and
shot at Miss Griggs. The lady was sitting
only few yards away; and the bullet
grszed her head. Beale was in the act of
firing a secord shot, when he was grappled
with by an operator, who held his pistol
arm until he was overpo1ered. Since the
shooting Beale has become rayipg maniac
and is committed to an asylum. The as
ssssination was evidently attempted under
an insane freak, as there was not the slight
est provocation for such q deed.
Miss Griggs was manager of the West
ern Union office here from 1876 to 1880,
consequently is we'll known to the people
of this city. She was also manager OF the
company's Offices at Jefferson City, Atchi-
son and Topeka. Her parents r side in
Cincinnati, Ohio.

A Switchman Poisoned.

A week ago Friday night, Charlie Cur
rev, switchmsn in the Missouri Pacific
yards, was given drink of whisky out OF
a bottle by tramp, who happened to be
providing around the yard. sHe was soon
after taken sick. but though nothing about
it being caused by the liquor. He con-
tinued to work until last SUNDAY night,
when he was taken violently i'll and had to
be taken to his room. Physicians were
called and after making sn examination,
pronounced it bad case of poisoning.
He has been confined to his room ever
since, but il is thought that he will recov-
er. Of course Curry does not know wheth-
er it was an sttempt upon his life or wheth-
err il was an accident, as he does not know
the man who gave il 10 him.

Almost an Accident.

About l O'Clock yesterday afternoon as q
Lexington Branch freight train was pass
ing through the Union depot, Mr.. Fred.
Wilson, formerly resident of this city,
but now running a general merchandise
store at Houstonis, attempted to board the
front end of the caboose. In the attempt
he stepped on pile Of snow and slipped
down, falling under the car. Mr.. Thomas
Field, who was standing near, grabbed him
by the coat and jerked him on; from under
the car just in time to save him from being
run over and mangled by the hind trucks.
Mr.. Wilson was badly frightened, and il Is
safe to say that It will be very warm day
before he attempts to board another run
ming train. Mr.. Field deserves great credit
for his presence of mind and actions In the
matter, and to him Mr.. Wilson is greatly
indebted for his present sound condition.

CITY CHAT.

The fuel dealers are by odds the hap
piest people in the city. They say business
is booming and money plenty.
How ridiculous it is to pay two prices
for Christmas presents when L. b. Ander-
SON is selling at such low figures. q Wit
The residence of Glenn Green, a color
ed citizen of Jefferson City, was burned to
to the ground yesterday. Most OF the furn-
iture was saved.
Yesterday was bad day for teamsters
but . good one for blscksmiths. Not less
than a dozen wagons were broken down by
the clogging snow and rough streets.
Between the mud and the snow, horse
