CHICAGO LIVE STOCK

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-ISpecial Telegram to THE
BEE. .l-CATTLE-With n decrease in receipts
salesmen started out to secure an advance.
Choice cattle were very scarce and they sold
at strong figures, but the great bulk of the
supply consisted of poor to fair cattle and
the general market was therefore unsatisfac-
tory. Prices were very low, the lowest of
the season on all cattle below S40O, and
the average prices were about steady. Ship
pers bought more freely of natives than for
some time past. The receipts included 5000
Texas and western cattle; choice beeves,
$520@5,75; medium to good steers, 1850 to
1900 lbs, s400@5.0o; 1900 to 1850 lbs, 5000
425; $50 to 1900 lbs, S3.00@3.75; stockers
and feeders, Si.10@3.30; cows, bulls and
mixed, 81. .25(t1o 75; bulk, s2.00@22S indians,

HoGs.-The receipts were 66, l6l. Busi-
ness was active and prices and 10 cents
higher on all grades, the bulk of the best
mixed making around about $3.50, and best
heavy $500. A few Philadelphias sold at
$50, ana a few fancy barrows (butcher
weights) at S5,75. Light sorts averaged
about S. so.

Unmaskinc a Great Fraud.

Chicago Tribune: The 1000 bet
on Cleveland offered by DR.. Her.
bert Clafin, of Marshaltown, Ia. :,
and published broadcast as a DEM
ocratic boom, suffered a severe prolap-
sus when II. G. Young and S. G. Nc
Farland, taking witness with them,
laid down 81 900 forfeit and invited the
valiant doctor to do the same, giving
him his own time to perfect the other
details. Clahin backed completely
down, and the men told him he was a
fraud of the first water. Later. Elias
Lee, a wellknown business man, called
on Ciahin and told him he had instruc-
tions from a Chicago acquaintance to
take the bet and post forfeit. To him
Claim acknowledged that his offer was
a fraud and tried to laugh the subject
off. Acceptances are pouring in from
reliable parties all over the country by
every mail, creating great amusement.
Clafin is a brother of Victoria Wood

Six gold medals awarded Jarvis Brandy
Teeth a Test OF Character.

"The shape and placing of the teeth"
says the Manchester Guardian, "are
not without significance in the charac-
ter given by the mouth. When the up
per gums show above the teeth directly
the lips are opened, it is the sign Of "a
cold and phlematic nature. Short,
small teeth are held by the phsiog-
nomist to denote weakness and short
life, while rather long teeth, if evenly
set in the head, denote long life. The
more the teeth, in point. size, shape
and arrangement, approach to those OF
carnivorous animals, the more violent
are the animal instincts in the
person, while the more human teeth in
shape and position approach to those of
the graminiverous animals, the more
placid is the character. White,
medium-sized and evenly-set teeth,
which are seen as soon as the mouth is
open, but which are entirely exposed
that is, which do not at any time show
the gums---are sign of good and hon
est natures. Projecting teeth show ra-
pacity, small, retreating teeth, which
are rarely seen unless in laughter. show
weakness and want of physical and
moral courage. The lower teeth pro-
jecting and closing over the upper
range are indicative of harsh nature" "

Thursday, Nov. ], 1888.
There was some excuse for a duh market, as
there was not much here to make market.
About one-half of the receipts that were in
did not arrive until late in the afternoon after
the market had practically closed The cat
tie were westerns and Texans, the early re.
ceipts being mostly westerns. Desirable
beeves were by no means plenty. The
butchers stock offered in the market was
mostly OF very common quality and not as
good as yesterday, although there was one
small lot of cows good enough to bring $3.50.
The supply offered was light and the trade
slow. The market upon the whole was about
steady with no quotable change.

 s3,OOo The Flag Contest.
 There was a large attendance at St. Ann's church fair at the rink last evening to witness the drawing of the articles and the voting for the flag between St Jean Baptiste and St. Joseph's society. The polls closed promptly at Il o'clock and the counters commenced their work inn mediately. During the counting the French band played several selections. At 12 o'clock Father Zones announced the result of voting The whole number of votes cast were 10,693l, of which the St Jean Baptiste society received 5,6S9 and St Joseph's society 5,0044. Father Zones presented the flag to MT Sorier, the vice president of the society. He explained the meaning of the stars and stripes and hoped that if the society should ever have occasion to fight under this flag they would fight with fervor and love for their noble ensign of the United States. He also said that he was glad that this society won it, as it was the first French society formed in this city and the first to take steps toward forming parish for the French Catholics here. The band then played ''The Star Spangled Banner" and ''Yankee Doodle" and amid applause and merry laughter the fair was concluded. The church will realize about $3, ,0O0.

PRECEDING AN ELoPEMENr.
shooting Match Which Was Never Re
 ported to New Haven Police.

A Shooting Match which Was Never Re-
 ported to New Haven Police.
 It has just come to light that in connec ton with the elopement of Daniel OCon- nell and Miss Katie Murphy from Birming- ham last fall there was serious shooting affray. It appears that the girl was nursed for two weeks at the home of Mrs OCon- nell with two bullet holes in her head, and that as soon as she got well she left the house, followed by O'Conneu. The story is that Dan went over to see her Tn New Haven at her lodgings and finding the evi- dences of another man about the room, as he thought, questioned her pretty closely and not receiving satisfactory answer pulled pistol and shot her in the head twice. Becoming alarmed he procured a hack and in the night time drove to his home in Birmingham and summoned g physician. The physician found one wound ] in the scalp on top and another on the side of the head under the temple. The latter was the most serious as considerable cutting had to be done to extract the bullet. The bone was slightly fractured and it was thought she could not live. Mrs O'Connel] took ample care of her, not even telling her best friends. In two weeks she was we'll and left the house, followed few hours later by Danieal. Neither have put in an appearance since. It IS considered curious that such an affray could have hap pened in New Haven without anybody knowing anything about it. It may be accounted for by the fact that the house was near railroad track and freight train was passing at the time, which drowned the noise of the pistol. The last heard from the pair was that they were in Troy Mrs Cornell is working hard to eke out an existence and is now forced to leave her home and rent other quarters.

THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
A Large Audience Attended the First Performance at City Hall.


 There must have been futtering of the hearts of the young ladies of the Sacred Heart church when they looked upon the big audience at city hall last evening. Nearly every seat was occupied and the musical festival was a success at the start with every chance in favor of increased re- suits this and tomorrow night. The first number on the programme was selection by the chorus composed of the choirs of the Catholic churches of the city. It was | we'll rendered and loud and continued ap- plause failed to call them out again. This was followed by the presentation of a comic operetta entitled "A New Years Recep- tion." It was the hit of the evenings en- tertainment and there was no mistake made in the selection of the cast of charac- ters. Every one seemed specially adapted for his or her part. The singing was good and the recitative portions were excellent, eliciting loud applause throughout. On the whole the presentation was more than could be expected and reflects credit upon the amateurs who participated. Miss Feron presided will skill at the piano. The selections by the Arion quartette were a pleasing feature, "In Silent Meade'' being given in response to recall.
 Under the galleries there were refresh ment booths which were iberally patron ized after the performance, and the floor being cleared those who chose danced un- til 11:30.
 The programme to night will open with selection by the chorus, to be followed by selection by quartette composed of Mrs w. Bergin, Miss M. Farrell and Messrs J. Strong and M. J. Daly. Then there will be an operetta entitled 'The Lottery Ticket" Between the first and second acts Messrs M. J. Daly and J. J. Monahan will sing "The Burial at Sea" and Miss M. Farrell will sing solo. The cast of char acters for the operetta is as follows: Theophilus Crank, Esq, rich but
 miserly, Mir. J. F. Morris Henry Wilkins, the bakers boy,
 fowery yonth MT D. J. Dunn Mrs Jerusha Goodhouse, Crank's
 housekeeper, with fondness
 for pie, Mrs l.. Wolff Melissa Dobbins, smart house

SMALL POX IN BRIDGEPORT. ! We'll Defined Case Believed to Exist

on Courtland Street.
 A popular society lady residing on Court land street, near Fairfield avenue, Bridge port has been sick for some days with a disease that has baf1led the local physicians. Finally, it was determined to cal in out side skill and accordingly prominent New York physician was summoned. He ar rived in town yesterday and after an exam lnation of the patient expressed the opinion that small pox was the trouble As soon as the true nature of the disease was ascer- tained, the board of health was notified and measures were immediately taken to isolate the patient and thus remove all danger of spread of the disease. The house has been fumigated and all danger to the residents of the neighborhood is thus entirely obviated.
 A special dispatch from Bridgeport says: Mrs William D. Bishop jr, daughter of the late Senator Elihu Washburn, ex-minister to France, and daughter-in-law of w. D.. Bishop ex-president of the New York and New Haven railroad is very low with small pox. She has just returned from visit to New York. The board of health isolated the patient and quarantied the handsome residence onCourtland Hill. Fears of the spread of the disease are entertained as many persons have called at the house.

He is the same Josh Whitcomb of old, funnier, if possible, and more than capable. Geo A. Beane as Cy Prime, Walter Gale as Happy Jack, the tramp, and Walter Len nox as Henry Hopkins, were excellent. Mrs Louise Morse was a capital Aunt Ma tilda, and Miss Annie Thompson very amusing az Rickety Ann. As Maggie O'Flaherty Miss Minnie Luckstone made the most of her part"

Benedict Arn old's Razor.

Benedict Arn old's Razor.
 Last Saturday afternoon, while Mr John Reilly of West Stratford was engaged in digging post holes on his premises, he un- earthed an iron box about six inches square that rust and time had nearly de- molished. Inside the box was razor of antique design that is in fairly good state of preservation. With the razor were two documents, the date of which is totally ob- scure owing to its faded and stained condi- ton; nevertheless an occasional word can be deciphered and as the name of Benedict Arnold appears several times, also that of Gen George Washington, it is snrmised that the razor was intended to be conveyed to the celebrated revolutionary traitor for suicidal purposes and to leave the papers as evidence that Gen Washington had aided him in escaping the death he so richly merited. The razor is at present at MT Reillys store and is highly interest ing relic t.,at unquestionably is of histori- cal value.

Miss Kate Purssell.

Calamity Jane, or the Queen of the Plains" is the title of the play in which Miss Kate Purssel1, favorite western actress, will make her appearance at the opera house Friday evening. It is dram
 atization by the author MT Ned Buntline (Reckless Ralph) of the famous story founded on facts which he published in a New York weekly few years ago, a brief synopsis of which is as follows: Her mother is driven from home by the jealous rage of her father, and with Jane, then little child, seeks refuge with brother, who is in hiding in the western mountains, for an accused crime of which he is innocent. The fathers prosecutions follows them even there, and believing the brother she lives with to be paramour, he incites the Vigi- lantes to kill all three. The mother and brother are killed, but Jane and an old faithful servant escape, and from that time she becomes almost demon, swearing eternal vengeance against all who were implicated in the murdering. She often appears in mans attire, allying herself with road agents, outlaws, gamblers and cut throats, seeking her victims every l where, who sooner or later succumb to her terrible vengeance. She becomes such a terror that they nickname her Calamity Jane. She is brave, true woman through all her thrilling adventures, and even her proud old father sues for mercy at her feet.
