A Chicago dispatch says: "Wheat and corn
nre steady. The weather is worry warm and
the general impression prevails that crops

discounted and that farmers are holding back

must be filled from stock received. This

Liverpool bought largely of cotton, and the
Germans did both buying and selling, but
finished bearish. Some of the big bears,
those who made money, talk very conserva-
lively, aud say it is not safe to sell now, but
the Germans think the liquidating interest is
still large. The position brings on tho liqui-
dating question. There was an effort at clos

confusion. The men on shore threw ropes
aud planks to them, and all were drawn out

went down with the barge. The majority of
the mon were uninjured but three or four
were seriously hurt by being struck by tho
timber of the barge. These are George War

INDfASAPoLIs, IND, June is.--The repub-
lican state convention will be held to-mor-
row. Nearly all the delegates havo arrived
and canvassing in the interests Of tho various
candidates Is very active.
Tho principal interest conters on the con-
test for governor, the leading candidates for
that office being Congressman w. II. Calkins
and Commissioner of Pensions Dudley, who
did not reach the city until night. His
friends are now rushing his claims vigorously.
The friends of Postmaster General Gresham
held meeting this afternoon and decided to
present his name TO the convention. Calkins
is largely in the lead, and 1t now seems that
he will probably be nominated, possibly on
the first ballot. There will be q spirited con-
tost over some other positions on the
ticket, moro particularly for lieutenant
governor and treasurer of the state. There
are number of candidates for zach of these
positions, and the choice Of the convention
will be governed to considerable extent by
geographical considerations.

ANOTHER FIRE.
A Residence on Maple St. Burned.

The residence OF Mr.. Newton Payne
was discovered TO be on fire about 8
O'Clock last Tuesday evening. The
fire originated in Il closet in tho hall
upstairs, over the front door, and
its origin is involved in an inpenetra-
bic mystery. None of the family
were upstairs and there had been 10
fire up there during the day. The
alarm was given from the street as
the flames were breaking out and
Mr.. Payne ram to the door only to be
Informed that il was his own house
that was on fire. No water could be
had and all efforts were directed to
removing the furniture from tic
lower floor. Nothing was removed
from above. Nearly everything was
saved below, but much of the furni-
ture was badly damaged. The en-
ginc was quickly on hand after par
TALLY cxtinguishing the debris with
water from the cistcrn at the ,colorcd
Baptist church, water suddenly gave
out aud the fire was left to complete
its work as no more could be OBJ
tanned.
The losses were all covered by in
surance as follows:
+. l.. Waller, building, 1000 with
r. w. Norwood and 5000 with Calls
II Hays.
N. Payne, furniture, $500, with Cal
lis Il Hays.
Mrs. Minnie Trice, furniture, etc.
$500 with Long Il Garnctt.
Mr.. Paync's family has moved tenn
pOrarily into the house on Main street,
recently vacated by Prof. Williams.
We understand Mr.. Waller will re-
bnild as soon as possible.
We wish TO especially commend
the action of Go. ID" during The fire.
They were in ranks at their armOry
and when the alarm of fire was given
not man moved a muscle until the
company was dismissed in an order
~ manner. Then they repaired to
the scene of fire and the boys worked
nobly saving goods, disregarding the
mud although they wore their hand
some uniforms. They took charge OF
the goods saved and prevented much
of the stealing usually incident IL
such occasions.
