GRAIN.
The local market is in a tame. uninteresting
position. Dealers are not disposed to speculate,
and bidding on Change shows caution on the
part of dealers both on spot and futures. Offer
ings Of wheat, corn and oats fall below the pres
ent demand. Fhe Board of Trade Price Current
says Of wheat: Cash No. 2 red is in about the
same position as yesterday, but Mediterranean
grades are duller and lower. Demands are gen
orally to fill orders, as very little speculation is
noticed in local markets. Dealers are holding
off from futures; evidently not much confidence
is placed in forward deliveries. Local arrivals
are still light, and millers absorb all gradable re-
ceipts. New York is steady at quotations; Balti-

Fuller Particulars of the Loss of the
Senorina with &c Lives.

Fuller Particulars of the Loss of the
SenOrina with 62 Lives.
ST. JOHN, n. F., May 24.-The only de-
tails Obtainable of the loss of the French
brig Senorina are as follows: 1.-The vessel
left st. MalO, France, March 1, not March
5, as previously reported, laden with salt,
provisions and a general cargo, and
bound for St. Pierre. She had ships
company Of nine hands, all told, and so
passengers. About the 20th Of April she
was caught in drift of ice on the east
edge of the Great Banks. few days
afterward strong gale arose from the
southwest, which, with various changes
and veerings, continued until May. On
some date in the first week in May, not
fixed with certainty, her bows and sides
were crushed in by ice and she sank with
out giving any warning, carrying down
every soul ON board"
The British clipper schooner Consuelo
passed by the scene shortly after the SEN
orna had sunk, and picked up sufficient
debris and general wreckage to identify
with certainty the missing vessel and es-
tablish the fact Of her actual doom. The
Consuelo took on board some beds, trunks,
baskets and clothing that had doubtless
flOated out and up from the crushed and
cOllapsing vessel. No further particulars
are ascertaiuable nor ever will be. She
sank and left no sign.

FIVE VICTIMS OF A BOILER.
Dublin Shaken by an Explosion Which
Endangered 200 Lives.

DUBLIN, May PA terrible boiler
explosion occurred here at 4:15 O'Clock
this afternoon. Two of the three boilers in
the sash and door factory of Carr, Rider
& Wheeler exploded with great force.
The boiler house was completely de-
strOyed. A solid division wall separated
the boiler house from the mill, else the
destruction and loss of life would have
been terrible. The mill employs 200 men.
One corner of a dwelling near the boiler
house was torn completely out. and
several women were injured. The engi-
neer and two fremen were in the boiler
house at the time, and were buried
beneath the debris. Two children plavin0
near by were also buried. The following
were killed:
Milo NJ. Millen. tie engineer.
Fritz Nelldanger, a fireman.
Two children of Charles May, aged 6
and years.
Michael Mclaughlin, a fireman. was
horribly burned and mangled, and can
live but a few hours.
Mrs. Margaret Waltes was struck by
flying bricks and badly cut. Her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Albert Waltes, and her
three children were also injured.
Mrs. Lear and Mrs. Vogler. residing in
the same dwelling, were also hurt.
1t is not thought that there are any
other bodies under the debris, as no one
is reported missing. The loss on the
building is estimated at $1,000. The pro-
prietOrs do not know what caused the ex-
plosiOn, but it is conjectured that it was
caused by low water in the boilers, which
were carrying full head of steam.

Wheat Falls Three and a Half Cents on
RumOrs That the YOungs Had Un-
loaded.
CHICAGO, May 24.-The day on 'Change
was one of exciting rumOrs and heavy
trading IN the wheat pit. 1t was given
out that the Young crowd, which had been
credited with holding long lines of wheat,
had unloaded, and this served to depress
the price, but not to the extent that had
been confidently expected. Still the total
depreciation for the day was fully 81
cents. July option closed at S934c.
The course of the New York stock market
had its effect on prices, but the chief cause of
the depression was heavy selling by the
Youngs and the continuance Of good weather
for growing crops. The closing prices were
the lowest Of the day for both cereals and pro-
visions.
Corn and oats showed little life, and only
moderate trading was done in pork. The
closing prices for the leading options were

The Presbyterian Assembly,.

VICKsBURG, MISS, May 24.-In the
Presbyterian General Assembly tonight
the report of the Committee on CO-Opera-
tion with the Northern Presbyterian
Church was submitted and unanimously
adopted. The Moderator congratulated
the Assembly upon the unanimity and
even enthusiasm with which this delicate
question had been decided. In substance
the report declines the presentation of any
plan of cooperation, refuses joint occu-
pancy of Danville Seminary, and declares
that the deliverances of former assem-
blies express the mind of the church
as fixed against organic union.
The purport of the action
of this assembly respecting organic union
is unmistakably this: That while frater-
nal relations are established, and while
alienation from the Northern brethren in
heart or act would be condemned, vet the
distinct existence of the Southern Pres
byterian Church is the unanimous senti-
ment and principle of the Vicksburg AS
sembly, not upon sectional or political
conditions, but upon the conviction
that the Presbyterian Church, South,
would lose much of its efficiency by
an organic union or amaIgamation with
the Church North. ANY other action at
the time would divide the church and
lead to a disturbance Of the fraternal re-
latiOns so happily begun. At the session
OF the assembly to-day report on the
election of a candidate for the ministry
was presented. 1t shows an increase in
number during the past year and that
special efforts have been made to further
the work, which has been successful
among the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians. The church has mission pres
bytery with twenty-six churches, having
a membership of 1000, mostly indians,
and six ordained ministers, all full
bloOded Indians and three full-blooded
licentiates. The question regarding the
instruction of delegates was finally de-
cided that the presbytery could not in
struct them. The assembly decided to
correspond with the Northern assembly
in future by letter instead of by delegate
The assembly will probably adjourn sine
die tonight"

Old Soldiers EndeavOring to Obtain a
Reimbursement from Congress.
A meeting of those men who went out
in the call for $4,000 troops to serve three
months at the outbreak of the civil war
was held Tuesday night at Easton, Pa.
When the three months men turned
cut they found their own clothing and
provisions for a month or more. and
were never remunerated. They are now
intent upon asking Congress to re-
pay them the expenses they thus incurred.
A committee, composed Of Col. DachrOdt,
Capt. Sitter and Edward Wireback. was
appointed to draw up a petition to Con-
gress setting forth the facts and asking
remuneration.
This petition is to be sent to Allentown,
Harrisburg, Lancaster, York and other
places, where the three-mopths men en-
listed, signatures secured, and then a
delegation will be sent to Washington to
confer with the State representatives
upon having the bill introduced,

ATLANTA's SECOND FOOT RACE.
a Seel the Winner With a Score of 5S
Miles and 13 Laps

ATLANTA, May 24-The much-talked
oftwelve hour gO-as-yOu-please foot race
for dry goods clerks only came off to-day.
At $3.50 O'Clock this morning the con-
testants met at the Markham House and
marched in a body hea6ed by a band to
the track in Keely, Rosser & Co.'s cotton
warehouse, the same one used two weeks
ago by the newspaper men. At 10 o'clock
A. Seel, n. A. BrOthertOn, l.. &. Moody.
Frank Mitchell, J. L. Whitaker. q, A
HOrnady, and John b. Gloss faced the
judges and started of at the word 'gO."
The contest was governed by the regular
rules for such tests Of speed and endur-
ance. The judges were prominent citi-
zens of Atlanta, while the walkers
were under the personal management
of the prOprietOrS of the stores that they
represented. At the start Seel, Mitchell
and Moody were the favOrites in the order
named, with the other contestants regard
ed as doubtful winners. The attendance
during the morning was small. but in
creased in the afternoon, and in the eve
ming was very large, fully 1900 people
being present. Among the number were
many ladies'. Early in the afternoon the
score board showed that the race was
between Seel, Mitchell and Moody. The
betting was about two to one on Seel. At
O'Clock IhOrnady scored 81 miles ana one
lap and left the track, seeing that he
could not win. The race was at its most
exciting pitch between s and 10 O'Clock,
and as the end drew near the excitement
increased. When the fingers of the clock
pointed to 10, and the signal was given to
stop walking, the score board registered
the race as follows:
