ChicagO's Wheat Plunger.
FRED HILL SUDDENLY YDIsAPPEARS-SHORT A MIIIIc


FRED HILL SUDDENLY DIsAPPEARS-SHORT MILLION
BUSHELS
A Chicago special to the Baltimore american,
November 30, says: Fred Hill, the phenomenal
grain plunger, who used to stand in the wheat pit
and sell two million bushels OF wheat as nOncha-
lantly as Ream OF Cudahy or Armour might have
done, disappeared from view yesterday. The dis
appearance was marked, for there were a hundred
people looking for him. For days and days he had
stood in the wheat pit and sold all the wheat that
anybody wanted to buy. 1t didn't make any dif-
ference whether 100000 bushels Or 100000. he
filled the bulls up. Yesterday wheat went up two
cents bushel. Hill is supposed to have been
short about 100000 bushels, and that
the $4,000 or so which he had was
wiped out. Official notice was given
out from the gallery before opening this
morning to close out all his open trades Hills
failure temporarily closes most remarkable
career. He was everywhere suspected of being
weak financially. Conservative operators refused
either to trade with him here at all Or limited
their business with him to small figures. Yet he
admittedly operated on a larger scale than any
person in the wheat pit, and Tor days and days,
protected by puts and calls actually controlled
the price OF wheat for this region by selling mil
lions OF wind TO people who desired to buy. He was
not at his Office this morning. Attachments have
been taken out in the superior court against the
Schwartz Dupee, 81, 600; Poole Sherman,
$1,000, and LindblOm q CO., 81 ,2s1. An attach
ment was taken out by Logan U. Dunno for 81 900,
and garnisheeS to the amount OF $1,000 were
served Oh the Continental Bank, where Hill a. CO.
have money on deposit.

The Paris Appeal for the Anarchists
MINISTER Nc LANE EXPLAINS THE OPERATION OF THE
AMERICAN LAW.
NJ. ROuquet, secretary OF the Paris municipal
council, yesterday forwarded to United States
Minister McLane the petition adopted by the
council on November % asking for his intercession
with the governor OF Illinois in behalf OF the
condemned Chicago anarchists. Mr.. McLane
sent the following formal reply to the petition:
GAS the petition is destined for the governor of
Illinois and is made with the object Of sparing
human life, Will not refuse my assistance II you
persist In demanding it. But allow me TO inform
you that In the present case IL is useless. You
fcacy as i, address yourself direct to the eXecu-
tive OF Illinois, who alone has the power of grant
ing the pardon. Without raising any objection
to the accomplishment OF your wishes, beg that
you will rest assured that capital punishment ap-
plicabe in no state Of the Union to political Of
fenseS is prescribed only for OdiOuS crimes against
the public weal such as murder and rape, CON-
m1tted under aggravating circumstances and with
generalization.
In political matters There exists in the United
States moderation which even profound dis
agreements are pOWerleSS to alter. In the discus
sion OF great political and social problems touch
ing the welfare OF workers we proceed with wide
liberty, showing spirit OF fraternity and tOler-
ance which renders violence 1nexcuSable and al
ways prejudicial to its authors When the major
ity prOnOunces, everyone submits. II this great
will OF the majority, which forms the basis OF
American Institutions be ignored the social orier
founded on liberty and fraternity coliapses and
society falls once more into chaos"
Mr.. McLane, at N. RouQuets request, consented
to transmit the councils petition to Gov. OgleSby.

The C2uverius Murder Case.
JUDGE HINTON DIsSENTs FROM THE vERDICT-N


MURDER PROVED OK MOTIVE.
Judge Hinton'S dissenting opinion In the Cluve-
rius murder case was filed yesterday in the Vir-
ginia supreme court OF appeals. 1t contains 1000
or 5000 words, and embraces a general review OF
the case. The points upon which the Judge hinges
his dissent from the opinion OF other members OF
the court are:
Ftrst-That the court erred in dischargfng Juror
Larke, VINO In response to questions prOpOunded
by the court expressed views as to what sort of
circumStantial evidence he would require TO con-
vict.
Second-The court erred in admitting as evi-
dence the SO-called ''Laura Curtis" letter. which
was an Invitation TO Miss Madison to spend some
time here and which was proved to have been
forged by the deceased and was ruSe to account
for her absence during the period OF ''lying in,'
ana the judge asserts that 1t was not proved that
the prisoner had anything TO do with it or any
knowledge OF it.
Third-ThaJ the corpus delicti had not been
established with the certainty required by law.
He did not think that the murder had been
proved py evidence, nor that motive for 1t
had been shown.
Judge Hinton also fnclines strongly to the
suicide theory, and in his concluding remarks
says: In any respect in which we may con-
template the few aSceftained facts in this case
they are certainly not absolutely Inconsistent
with the innocence of the accused Of the crime
OF murder

report from Coal Harbor, fifty miles north OF
Bismarck, OAK, says: During the coolest hour
yesterday the heavens seemed aglow with the
most brilliant fire, and at about O'Clock in the
afternoon AN immense blaze OF fire shot down
through the frosty atmosphere, its passage being
accompanied by q loud kissing noise. AS the
fiame descended breath OF warm air passed over
the vicinity and the strange visitor fell the OPP
poste side OF the river Its contact with the earth
was accompanied by an explosion, which sounded
like the firing OF a cannon. An examination OF the
spot where the fire seemed TO fall was made soon
after, and the only evidences Of an explosion were
earth. No one can account for the phe enomenon,
but it Is believed to have been a nleueor1c frag-

The Story Of a Marriage License.

marriage license, antedated by a peculiar
history, was issued from the county clerks Of
flee in Louisville, ky., Tuesday afternoon. The
parties to the license are JEFF d. COchrane and
Kate Bissinger, who have been living before the
world and their own conscience for more than a
year as man and wife. On March 8, 1885, he ar
ranged plan with his wife by which they were
to elope to JeffersOnvtlle. 1t was his desire TO
keep the marriage out OF the papers, and to ac-
complish such a result he sent a friend named
Harry Welker to Je1ersonv1lle to persOnate him
and secure a license. The deputy, acting upon
the plenttude of his delegated power, had the
license issued to s0lemnize the rite between
Henry Welker (his own name) and Katie Bis
singer. Cochrane went over In the afternoon
with his bride, and was married under the license
by Squire Keigw1n. On the boat returning TO
Louisville he tore up the certificate and threw it
into the river, thinking the document was OF no
further use. He never discovered that he was
married under the name OF Welker until a few
days ago, when members OF the Butler-H Hess gang,
against whom COchrane was an important witness
for the killing OF MCCOY, happened on the facts
and Threatened him with prosecution. he has
been living with his wife ever since and they have
child The second wedding occurred Tuesday.
