Flour Production at Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi April 29-The weekly
review of the -four production of Minneapolis by
the Northwestern Miller in its issue of May LIST,
says 1.-THE mills are moving steadily at fair ca
pacity, though not crowdng matters. The run
last week was strong one, and the output was
the twenty-five mills in the city, ten showed an
increase in output, and eight a decrease. Among
the former were some of the larger mills. The
-four production for the week ending Satur-
day was 142, 1886 barrels against 1872 200 barrels
for the preceding week, and 100, 375 bbls during
the corresponding time in 1884 On Wednesday
twenty.one mills were in operation, running
with strong speed, and it is quite probable they
will do as we'll in the output as last week. The
markets have shown fair improvement during
the week, not so much in advanced prices as in
disposition on the part of home and foreign
buyers to take hold. They cannot be said to be
buying freely as yet, as all are waiting for the
outcome of the European enhancement.

CHIcAao, April 29-The splendid structure
erected for the use of the Chicago Board of
Trade at an expense of So, 600 00O was formally
dedicated this forenoon. The exercises were
very simple in their character. and partook of
the form of a number Of addresses, interspersed
with orchestral music The day was perfect,
and long before the beginning of the formal pro-
gramme large crowds were thronging about the
great building, or proceeding up the broad stair
ways into the main hall or trading room, the
largest one employed for the purpose in the
world. Here and in the galleries was assembled
an audience of about 5000. Nearly every ex-
change in the Union was represented in the
audience, including delegates from England and
California. At 10 o'clock Rev. Clinton Locke, of
hiscity inangurated the proceedings with prayer,
and was followed by John II. Bensley, chairman
of the building committee, who formally turned
over the keys of the buildingto e. Nelson Blake,
president of the board. who responded in a short
speech. The chief address was then delivered
by Emery A. Storrs, who was followed in short
speeches by the representatives Of the visiting

INDIANAPOLIS LEADS TnE LEAGUE.
Another Defeat Administered to the Toledo
Clab-The Championship Race.

The Indianapolis club won its fourth consecu-
tine game from the Toledos yesterday after
noon. The visitors were represented in the box
by Stemmeyer, while the Hoosiers put in Casey,
the left-handed curver. For the first six innings
the game was close and interesting, the
only run scored being earned by
the visitors in the fourth inning, in single
by Cook and three.base hit by Wright.
Until the seventh the only hit made by the
home club was by Collins in the second inning,
but in the seventh, to use the classic language OF
Dan OLeary, sit was bling bango, all over the
field Collins took first on Kearn's tumble, and
was followed by Moriarity, McQuery, Crane,
Maguirs and Donnelly with hits, the first
named being for three bases. These and errors
or Mcdonald and Kearns yielded seven runs,
and left the visitors little hope Of success. Fol-
IoyVinp is the score.

SETTLED AT LAST.
End OF the Long-Pending Suit of Mccormick
Against the Pennsylvania Railroad.

New YORK April 29-The Court of Appeals
has just decided the peculiar case of Cyrus Ell.
Mccormick, resident of Chicago, against the
Pennsylvania Central railroad which has been
in litigation twenty three years. The suit was
begun in and has been passed upon four times
by the Supreme Court and three times by the
Court of Appeals. Eminent counsel has been
employed on both sides, those for the plaintiff
being Daniel D. Lord. E. W. Stoughton, Beach
Brown and Roscoe Conkling, and for the
defendant Mr.. Blatchford, Seward Griswold and
d. A. Costa. The leading facts of the case are
as follows: On March IL, 1862, plaintiff, with his
family and baggage, applied to defendant, at
Philadelphia for transportation on lis railroad,
The baggage was placed on the train, and while
the plaintiff was procuring the tickets and hav-
ing some dispute about the checking of the bag
gage, the train started off with the baggage, the
defendant refusing to give the plaintiff either
checks or the baggage. The baggage was
carried on to Chicago and destroyed at the
depot by fire on the morning of
its arrival. trunk contained costly
clothing and diamonds belonging to Mrs. McCor-
mick, their loss involving thousands of dollars.
The jury awarded verdict In favor OF Mr.. Nc
Cormck for the full value of the goods and
interest, which amounted to $40, 434 10. The
Pennsylvania railroad appealed the case, and a
prolonged litigation was the result, the legal
contest being over fine points of law and techni-
calities raised by counsel on both sides. The
plaintiff claims that the defendant wrongfully
seized and held his property in resistance of his
claims, and therefore was liable for its full
value. The defendant argued that the effort of
the plaintiff to have his baggage stopped was
virtually waiver of his right of action that the
plaintiff had no right to recover for such prop
erty as had been presented by him to his wife,
and that jewelry could not be designated as bag
gage. The action appeal was begun in April,
1867. The late decision is a finally to this long
contested case and gives the executors of the
deceased plaintiff the full amount of the claim,
with interest.

Des Moines, La, Special.
A wedding. under unusual and quite romantic
circumstances, occurred in this city yesterday.
The suddenly accepted groom is Loren F. Bishop,
a good looking young man who keeps a bakery
in East Des Moines Yesterday Miss Mary
Shoemaker, pretty miss with a merry laugh
and a pretty figure that is the perfection OF
grace, came in to Mr.. Bishops bakery to buy
some fresh rolls and she looked at the young
baker in such an irresistible way that be was
quite beside himself with admiration. Miss
Shoemaker" said he, you look SO pretty that 1

Grant and His Troops.

From an anecdotal and reminiscent article on
Grant by General Badeau, in the May Century,
we quote the following His relations with the
troops were peculiar He never made speeches
to the soldiers, and of course never led the m
himself into battle after he assumed his high
commands. But in every battle they saw him
certainly once or twice far to the front, as ex-
posed as they; for there always seemed to come
time in each engagement when he was unwill-
ing to use the eyes or ears Of another, but must
observe for himself in order TO determine. The
soldiers saw all this; they knew, too. that when
he rode around in camp ii meant action, and the
sight Of his blue overcoat, exactly like their own,
was signal to prepare for battle. They found
out his character and respected his qualities.
They felt that he meant well, although when the
time came he spared them not, for the cause.
Thus, though so undemonstrative, he awoke a
genuine enthusiasm. After tho battle of tho
WidernesslE he rode at night along the road
where Hancocks veterans lay, and when the
men discovered it was Grant, and that his face
was turned toward Richmond, they knew in a
moment they were not to retire across the
Rapidan rs so often before; and they rose in the
darkness and cheered until the enemy thought
1t was night attack and came out aud opened
fire. When the works were carried at Peters
burg, their enthusiasm was OF course unbounded;
and whenever they caught glimpse OF him in
tho Appomattox campaign, the cheers were
vociferous. After the surrender OF Lee they be-
gan without orders to salute him with cannon,
but he directed the firing 10 cease, lest 1t should
wound the feelings OF The prisoners, who, he
said, were once again our eountrymen.
This sentiment he retained Soon after the
close Of the war was present when acommittee
of Congress, headed by Charles Sumner, waited
on him to propose that q picture should be
painted Of the surrender of Lee, to be placed in
the rotunda of the Capitol But he told them he
should never consent so far as he was concerned,
to any picture being placed in the Capitol to
commemorate victory in which our own
countrymen were the losers"
