INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Further Decline Will BE Noted in the Pro-
vision and Produce Markets.

A Further Decline VIII BE Noted in the Pro-
vision and Produce Markets.
The provision market is again under a cloud,
and there has been a sharp break in prices, and
so heavy are stocks it is feared if there is a
reaction it will be of slow progress. Short ribs
drop to 550c hams, 8873c; lard to 6 40c The
only descriptions of meats in demand at these
prices is cured short ribs The produce market,
as well. is offish. Chickens drop 1c per pound
in this market and &c in the New York market.
Eggs are weak at quotations. A large
per cent of the receipts are rotten.
Other markets rule steady il the main. In drugs
there continues to be very fair jObbing demand,
and prices have been generally steady. Opium,
however, is dull and weaker the reports from
Smyrna showing large receipts and confirming
estimates of large crop. Morphine is in mod
crate movement, and rather easier in sympathy
with opium. Quinine is quiet Also and rather
easier feeling prevails. Gum arabic has ad-
vanced, and as the scarcity is becoming
and more apparent, further advances are looked
for There Is good inquiry Gum camphor is
IN good demand and is steady at the advance.
Locally the hide market if sluggish. Eastern
papers report that there has been more activity
this week, particularly in foreign hides. Straight
hides are firmer, and the general tone of the
market is stronger. Hides not and have not
been as low as othor commodities, but sell
ing at about average prices to-day The light
receipts of foreign hides and the small take off
of domestic hides are the cause of this nrmness.
The indications are that the market will hold its
own for the present Tanners are buying in a
small way generally, but seem to exhibit little
more confidence. Domestic green sailed hides
are very firm Light hides are in extremely
light supply, East and West

THE CATTLE TRAIL.

ST. Louis, Jan. 14-The bill which
is to be introduced in Congress
for the establishment of cattle trail
from Texas to the British possessions
provides that the secretary of the in
terror shall appoint three commission
ers to lay out and mark by metes and
bounds q quarantined national trail and
grazing grounds, the trail not to exceed
six miles in width and to be narrowed
at places to mere roadway; the graz
ing grounds to be established at
intervals along the trail, and
not to exceed twelve miles
square; both trail and grazing grounds
to be strictly quarantined and
no cattle allowed to leave it so long as
they have any signs of Texas fever
among them. When the commissioners
make their report. the Secretary of the
Interior is to file a map of the trail as
laid, and then to give public notice of
its establishment and the withdrawal of
public land occupied by it from either
sale, location or settlement for term of
ten years. The sum of $4,000 is ap-
propriated for the work. When this
publication is made the trail is to be
open at all times of the year for the
driving upon it of any live stock by any
person, firm or corporation.

ABOUT TRANSPORTATION.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-At the transpor-
tation inquiry, to-day, petition from
leading houses in Chicago was read
praying for success for the movement
of merchants before the convention.
These gentlemen in Chicago said they
have been suffering delays from New
York of ten days and been forced to
higher markets by reason of it.
The relations of the Merchants
Dispatch Company with the New York
Central we're explained. It was COM
mission line over che New York Central
and Lake Shore. Itsolicits and handles
it's own business, pays it's own expenses
Except for transportation and takes a
percentage on all its shipments. The
company does not guarantee for loss
of goods or loss by delay, and the
clause in the bills of lading provides
that the company might forward con-
signments by any road it might
choose. Nine-tenths of the Merchants
Dispatch line was owned by
the New York Central and Lake Shore.
Fred. Waters, a Western drummer,
recited the delay of his trade in the
West owing to delay in shipping goods
from New York. The Merchants Dis
patch carries 80 per cent. of the entire
traffic of the New York Central.

AN OBSTREPEROUS WOLF.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr. Wolf, of
the Cherokee Nation, has been attend
ing the meetings of the Senate Indian
affairs committee daily, in their investi-
cation of the leased land question.
The other day an officer of the House
of Representative undertook to serve
him with subpoena to appear before
the Indian affairs committee of that body
and testify about the disposition of the
$22,50O of the 100000 Cherokee
funds about which so much has been
said and printed. Mr.. Wolf refused to
accept the service, and finally the officer
threw the subpoena down on the floor
at his feet and left it. To those who
were standing around Wolf said he was
a citizen of the Cherokee Nations
foreign nation-and he owed no allie
glance to this nation, therefore he was
under no obligations to obey sum-
mons of the United States House of
Representatives. Force will be tried
upon Mr.. Wolf.

SUDDEN DEATHS.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 1.-Two young
ladies from this city have died under
tragic circumstances during the past
week. The first was Carrie Ketner,
who was in New York finishing
academy. While her mother was sit
ting by the fire reading joyous letter,
in which the young lady described the
pleasures of Christmas week, rap at
the door brought telegraph message
announcing the sudden death of Miss
Carrie from pneumonia. This was
followed by another casualty in which
a young lady equally well
known, Miss Lizzie Thomas, was
burned to death. She had been sent
to Orange County, West Virginia.
Wednesday night, while preparing to
retire, Miss Thomas clothing caught
fire by coming in contact with the CRATE,
and in an instant she was enveloped in
q bright blaze. The flames quickly
came in contact with her flesh, and be-
fore the fire could be extinguished she
was horribly burned. Physicians who
were called to her bedside were quick to
perceive that she could not recover.
They began doing all they could to re-
ieve her suffering. A telegram con-
tanning the sad intelligence was sent to
the young lady's mother. Soon after
noon second telegram was received,
stating that the young lady was dead.

THE WASHBURN ESTATE.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Jan. 15.-Judge
Cameron has decided that the proper
manner to disburse the public requests
of the late @. G. Washburn is through
the trustees, who are instructed to form
an active corporation, one for the state
of Minnesota and another for the state
of Wisconsin. These trustees, duly in
corporated, will control the funds for
the building of the Orphan Asylum at
Minneapolis, and for establishing a
public library at La Crosse. For the
first named purpose the will appropri-
ates $4,000, and for the library $780,
900. A meeting of the trustees will be
called at an early date for the purpose of
considering the proposition of forming
corporations as suggested. The LIST of
April is fixed by the court as the time
when he will issue an order on the
executors for the payment of one-ffth
of the amount mentioned in these two
requests, or $4,000 in all. The re-
mainder will be paid for the estate as
fast as needed and the condition of the
estate will allow. The estate is increas-
ing steadily, having gained last year
nearly $4,000. This is an excellent
showing, and indicates that the property
of the late governor is in good hands.

SOUTHERN MORMONS.

SPARTANBURG, S. c., Jan. 17.-Four
Mormon elders named Willy, Bingham,
Craigan and Humphrey, have estab-
lished a Mormon settlement in this
county, and are at work making con-
verts. The elders have made only four
converts in this county, but about
