The Markets.

The war news has caused considerable activ.
ity in the grain market, although prices have
not gone up to the hight anticipated by specu
lators. Wheat was in brisk demand last week
and at the time of onr going to press April
closed at $50 cents; May. 500 cents, and June
SO cents. The corn market has also risen tt
some extent, and there was good deal of spec
ulation going on among the factors. The cash
sales closed at AZ cents; April, 46s cents; May
ATE cents; June. AZ cents, and July, Az cents
Oats were in fair demand at 344 cents cash
May, 37s cents, and June, 35s cents. The meat
market was moderately active. Pork leash,
brought Sll.s5 readily; May, S1l.82l; June
$l1.95, and July, $l2.05.
Last week the cattle market at Chicago was
highly satisfactory. Although there was sup
ply of nearly $500 head in excess of the tota
of the previous week there was no trouble in
disposing of all offered for sale. The maximum
price for cattle was about 1915, although infe
rior stock sold as low as $4.75. From $3.50 t.
1856, however, got the bulk.

A Wonderful EscaDe.

VIM. II. Browning, who was being brought
in the custody of Sherifs from New York to
West Chester Pa, last week to answer charge
of bigamy at the latter place, escaped from GUS
tody in a manner little short of miraculous.
When n little distance from Morrisville Pa,
on the New York division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, Browning observed his captors' atten-
tion drawn to the conductor in reference to his
ticket. He avai!cd himself of the opportunity
and sprang across the aisle and plunged head
foremost from one of the car windows. The
train at the time was running at % miles an
hour, and the desperate man was heavily irOned.
The train was stopped and the two Sherifs set
out to find their lost man, but were only re-
warded with his hat, which was found where
he had fallen.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
His Tour of Ireland - Cheers and Kisses - Riot
Cork.

Cork.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were treated
with great respect and hearty demonstrations
were got up in their behalf at all the places
they visited in Ireland until Cork was reached,
when this harmonious state OF affairs was rudely
interrupted. AS the open carriage containing
the Prince was crossing Parnell bridge in that
city, on the 18th inst, some one IN the crow d
threw an onion at his royal highness. The
missile missed the Prince, but hit one OF the
footmen behind the carriage and the crowd
checred.
During the afternoon detective arrested a
rowdy who was throwing stones at the lOyalists
procession. A mob speedily formed aud at
tempted to rescue the prisoner. The detective
fired his revolver but without hitting any one,
and succeeded in taking his prisoner to Police
Court, where he was promptly released on bail
furnished by the Mayor Of Cork.
Early in the evening the Nationalist held a
mass meeting, where infammatory speeches
were made, and latest London newspapers con-
tanning accounts of the royal progress were
burned in a bonfire.
After the mass meeting the Nationalists scat
tered through the city in parties numbering
from so to 500 men. Doors and windows were
smashed, flags and decorations were torn down
and heaped upon blazing b0nfres, and many
gun stores were broken into for the purpose of
armiDg the mob Policemen, when encountered
singly or IN small Squads were attacked and
beaten numerically with their own truncheons.
In many cases the police rallied and charged
desperately upon the mob, but they were in
variably repulsed. The police then resorted to
free use of their revolvers and bayonets. 1t
was hand. to- hand fighting of the most desperate
Sort the police standing back to back and re-
ceiving and intiicting terrible injuries.
At midnight the streets were practically in
possession Of the mob The policemen who re-
manned uninjured could not attempt to do more
than maintain their positions and fight on the
defensive. In addition 10 attacks from the
crowds in the streets, the police were exposed
to murderous volleys of stones from windows,
housctops and other points of vantage.
The rioting was suppressed early on the
morning of the 10Th. great number OF ar
rests were made, and the city hospitals were
crowded with wounded policemen and rioters
At Queenstown, which place the royal party
reached on tho evening of the 18th. oil the
shipping in the harbor was illuminated and a
grand display of fireworks was given in thciI
honor.

din, about l5 miles from st. Joseph, Mo. Will

widow and daughter, and lawyer named Dun
gan had conference on Monday with view
to settlement. No result was reached but dur
ing the evening Clark called at the widows
house. A hot discussion ensued. ending in a
quarrel, during which Clark shot and killed
the widow, mortally wounded the daughter

Bulletin of His Condition from Day to Day.
THURSDAY, APRIL 16.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10.
Gen. Grant awoke this morning bright and
cheerful, having passed reStful night He has
gained rapidly in strength during the past few
days. To-day he walked down stairs, cane in
hand, and into the dining. room, where the
family was at lunch. Every one arose at once
with an exclamation of surprise. A place was
made at the table for the General, and he seated
himself. Then calling a servant, the General
sent word to DIR. Douglas that the entire family
was waiting for his coming to lunch. The
Doctor came down at once.
"a got the best of you" remarked the Gem
eral as DIR. Douglass entered the dining ROOM
Merry chat followed, during which Gen. Grant
was helped to cold mutton and macaroni. He
cut the meat very fine and ate it. Afterward
he returned to his room, using the elevator.
FRIDAY. APRIL II.
The Generals condition is such to-day that
strong hopes of his recovery are entertained
He dressed himself without assistance this
morning, and took his food without pain.
SATURDAY, APRIL Is.
Gen. Grant appeared at the window of his
library this morning, and saluted the people
who were assembled in the vicinity OF his
house. His health showed a marked improve
ment, and he was cheerful and hopeful.
Dr.. George X. Elliott, who made the Eliscro-
scopical examination of tissue from Gen. Grant 8
throat, said: 1.-THE kind of cancer Gen. Grant
is suffering from is very superficial in its char
acter and slow in its progress. Such cancer
on the face often remains 10 years without pro-
ducing serious trouble. 1t does not affect the
system materially, and sometimes becomes in
active for an indefinite period In the throat
it is more serious, being constantly liable to
irritation. But Gen. Grants general health
was much broken before attention was called to
the local trouble. i don't think he has been in
any immediate danger of death at any time,
and everything tends to the conviction that
his life will be prolonged for a considerable Pc
Rod"

ton was received by Col. Fred Grant, who as
sured the gentlemen of his fathers good will
for their organization.
