The building has the general form OF q Latln
cross, covering over $4,000 square feet IN
area, and is PIT feet long by . feet WIDE.
1t has o central tower, octagonal In FORM,
and so feet in diameter From the outer
angles of this tower there are radlatlrg and
flying buttresses projecting sixteen feetfrom
the body Of the tower. The buttresses are
stepped back" at the heIgnT or 90
feet from the ground and terminate in
small thanking t%urrets; these are carried up
three feet above the body OF the tower, which
is 1O1 feet high. The turret at the southeast
angle of the tower is somewhat larger than
the others, and is carried up fourteen feet
above the main tower, and terminates in q
pointed roof made of evergreens, n is sur
mounted by a flag post twenty feet high,
which will carry the carnival flag and also
serve for the weather signals. The total
height from ground to ball on flag post is
1875 feet TIL body of the tower is grit by
belt courses Of projecting rock ice" at %
feet, 43 feet, 90 feet and 80 feet from the
ground. Between these belts there are small
windows in what might be called the second,
third and fourth stories There is no roof to
the tower nor to any part Of the building. The
first intention was to roof over the large
court on the south side of the main tower
and use it for carnival meetings, dances and
like purposes, but this idea has been aband-
oned as impracticable, n the building will
stand as a monument only. There is a cor
nice composed of four courses of ice, each
stepped out" several inches beyond the
course under it, and is surmounted by a
crenelated bpttlement The walls of the
tower and those of the whole building will
be composed of courses of solid blocks of ice,

Jan, /. At the West and South the pir ,ror
market is quite active. During this week ghsss
options at Chicago and New York have adyanced
from a to 4lo cents and for spot q cents mar
bushel on increasing exports and speculaticr
and small stocks abroad. The renewed strenvth
is quite pronounced, and the opinion palm
ground that a permanent gain In wheat prices has
finally begun. Indian corn went lloc higher
with small stocks and heavier demand. and
wheat flour, with u better inquiry for export ana
reduced production, has been marked up IKc
per barrel. Dry goods at first hands remain
dull and steady, except ginghams, which Tend
upwards. Woolens are only firm: white prints
are Loo lower. Wool is affected unfavorably nv
the London sales, which are off SOLO Der cent

activity in hog products. The speculative mar
hets are in sympathy with the upward turn 10
grain prices, and owing to an increasing ont
side demand, pork has advanced So per barrel.
and Western steam lard dc per pound on thu

tivity at all points is noticeable.
New YORK, Dec. 3.-The Mail and EXPRESS
says:
In regard to the cable dispatch from Berlin in.
dicating that the Standard OIL company was ne
gotiating for the purchase of the Capion oil
fields by loaning a large sum of money to the
Russian Eaphtha Company OF Nobel Bros.
whose business is to be transferred TO the hands
of the American petroleum producers, a promi-
nent official Of the company said there was nof
the slightest foundation for the story.

The fact that receipts of wheat at
Chicago this season have declined, and
that what it has lost in this direction
has been gained largely by Minneap-
oils and Duluth, mas stirred up news
papers as well rs members OF the grain
trade in the northwest. 1t is noted,
too, that the chief grain inspectors at
Chicago and a committee from the
Chicago Board of Trade have been ex-
aiming the methods of handling grain
at the northwestern cities named, pre-
sumably with the intention of inn
proving their own when they get home
again.

twelve to eighteen inches thick, and VARYING
from two to six feet in length. At the base
OF the tower the walls are five feet thick.
The tower stand in a court formed by a
wall pierced with narrow, elongated win
dows, or ~''slots." This wall is twenty-three
feet high, and is similarly treated as the
tower, having a cornice aud battlement. at
each angle formed by the walls of this
square or enclosure there are circular and
square turrets of different designs, corniced
and battlemented and surmounted by
a fagpole designed to carry the
national colors of England, France,
Germany and Sweden. From the four sides
OF the square spring the arms of the cross.
The entrance az each of the terminals of
these arms is a double arch six feet wide,
hanked by a square base, tapering into a
circular turret forty-seven feet high and
seven feet in diameter. At the rear of the
main building. and toward the north, is an
entrance composed of a large single arch
eight feet in diameter. The foot of the cross,
extending In front Of the building and to-
ward the west. is also a continuation of tine
main wall, and swells into a circle of noble
proportions, ninety-fve feet in diameter
The wall, and the whole building, In fact
will be well relieved and strengthened by
stone buttresses. These add to the stability
and cut up the asky line" az they rise, and
terminate above the wall in rough chunks of
ice that effectively relieve the. otherwise
monotonous straight lines of the battlements.
TIL entrance proper is an archway sixteen
feet wide and fifteen feet high. This arch
way is an exceedingly thick wall mine feet,
bat that projects only slightly beyond the
face of the circular wall. The arch is COM
posed of several courses of ice alternately
projecting n receding. The wall at either
side of the arch tapers of into graceful
buttresses, and is surmounted by a pedestal
upon which is a colossal statue of King Be-
reals seated, and supported on either hand
by a polar bear rampant holding a colored
electric light There are also two bears
couchant on pedestals at each side Of the
entrance on the ground. All Of these fg-
ures are carved in solid ice. King Borealis,
IL standing, would be about twenty feet tall.

the life line was shot over the schooner from

to make it fast for some time. At last one
poor fellow, who was seen clinging to the
main mast, let go his old and grabbed the
life line, took a turn at the spar, and life
savers were quickly aboard the vessel
The poor fellow that had reused himself

panlons were found dashed in the fore rigging
unconscious and badly frozen, and were sent
ashore in the life buoy. Two sailors were
found. dashed to the capstan, frozen dead,
and one body was seen in the forecastle. The
life saving crew found 1t impossible TO res
cue the bodies. and with the two uncon-,
scious sailors left tho wreck. The rescued
men, 1T is feared, will not recover. One OF
the dead sailors frozen to the capstan is
thought to have been Sutherland Mckay,
father of the young captain. He was about
sixty years old. and had a wife in Toronto.

James Stephens, once notorious as
a Fenian chieftain, and who for some
years has found an asylum in CONT
mental Europe, where he lives by his
pen, writes from Brussels that nihil-

"may kick the bucket at any mo-
ment." The avenging nemesis has be-
come the placid apostle OF social re-
form, and the most blood-thirsty nj

Some of the English agricultural and

the declining slope of prices for agri-
cultural produce. The cheap wheat
Of India, brought by cheap steam

shadow still lower prices of this ce-
real. The meats of South America

low prices of food will result in low
prices Of manufactured goods, and so

result. This would not be an I'M

The Wrecked Schooner Arladns.

yoldable delay occurred yesterday in the
nine-mile journey of the life saving crew to
the wrecked schooner Ariadne, which went
ashore near here. The vessel in the mean
time was fast going to pieces, and a portion
Of her stern, which drifted ashore, gave her
name as the Ariadne, from Newcastle, Ont.
bound for Oswego, with barley. 1t was i'm
possible to launch the life boat on account
of the surf, n a mortar was sent for. Ie

only portion of the schooner then out of

seen clinging three men. The body of the

The report OF the secretary OF the
Montreal board of trade shows that
American goods are steadily crowding
out the British and other manufact-
ures from the Dominion. In 1880 the
value of British goods imported was
$34, 461, 224, and of American $27,-
SAC, 948. In 1888 the imports from
Great Britain by $4,000, 600, and in
1885 the British were left still further
behind in the race, the figures being

and $51,406, OF from the other side.

Of the testimony. Nh. Cole admits that he
overlooked a very important order from

the time which had elapsed since 1t was
given and the time when No. q left Fargo

for orders, caused forgetfulness, and was
not done Intentionally. The jury this after

We find that said G. M. Tennis was killed at
Muskoda Station In the collision between Trains
No. i and No. q, upon the Northern Pacific rail-
road, by and based upon the negligence and un-
skiilfulness OF the servrnts OF said company in
