Grain aud Provisions.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Feb. 2o.-The last day OF
the month found the condition Of trade on
change slow and the grim and provision
markets steady and lifeless. May wheat
| which opened at 19JGc, could not get far
away from that settling between so9sc and
sOkc. The local receipts Of wheat were
larger than the estimate, and there was
very large increase In the amount OF wheat

guments, while the decrease Of wheat In
sight and steady cables were in the bulls
favor. There was little OF local interest In
the market, and outside trading was light
May closed nc 80h@s0k. The light receipts
Of corn were sufficient 10 keep that market
firm throughout the session. The profess
sional buying Of that grain is said 10 be by
strong parties, and some buying was noticed
by commission houses with the country
clientage. Hutchinson was selling corn. but
the traders thought his sales were rather for
the purpose Of breaking the market. The
trade was active occasionally, but during
the greater part Of the session was very light.
May corn opened at 50kc, and hung be-
tween that price and Ole for some time, then
advanced 20 6ihc, declined again 10 sic and
closed at 5i%@5lHc.
Fluctuations in oats for May delivery
amounted 10 &c, and the market was strong
or but dull and without any feature OF in

In provisions there was merely rcpeti.

The Ida Van Cortland Troupe.

The Ida Van Cortland troupe,
which appears at the Opera House
next Monday night, has just finished
season in the largest cities and
comes highly commended as fine
troupe. The opening drama is "the
Creole" The Grand Rapids Leader
speaks as follows:
II Ida Van Cortland was playing at a
dollar a seat, she would have good houses
nightly, but the impression seems to pre-
vail that because she is playing at cheap
prices, she is cheap actress. This is a
mistake, and theater goers who are admir-
ers Of strong, emotional acting, are losing
much by not seeing this woman. Last
night Miss Van Cortland appeared rs
Cora" in THE Creole" and its only due
praise to say that with but one exception,
smoother, better performance has not
been put upon the stage Of Powers this
season. Miss Van Cortland was magnif-
cent as the wronged and rcvengeful Creole.
Her power of emotion rose TO heights of
grandeur in some of the more intense pas
sages, thrilling her audience by her strength
and carnestness and provoking outbursts of
sympathy and admiration.

Going Down for Oil

The Altoona Gas and Oil mpany
has signed contract with Zach Ma
son, the we'll borer of this city, to put
down we'll on their property at Kill
master, in Altoona county. Ii was at
this place that flow of gas was struck
last summer. The well was not con-
tinued for oil. The gas was taken
possession of by G. III. Killmaster who
steered it into his residence and all
winter it afforded heat for the house.
This experiment was for the purpose
of testing its staying qualities. TWAS
also introduced into hot house sew
eral weeks ago and the result was that
the residents of Killmaster had been
feasting ON early vegetables long be-
fore they were in this market. The
contract with Zach Mason means bus
mess. for he is to 60 down to oil.
Professor Winchell, of the university,
says the gas is the petroleum kind
and that oil must be down under Kill
master at no great depth. Mason is
going down after it and will find it if
it is there. The machinery was be-
ing loaded on the cars yesterday for
shipment to Altoona county. The first
pipe will be 10 inches in diameter

Big Snake.

Isaac Isaacson, who resides on the
shore of Thunder Bay, about three
miles east of this city, informs us that
on Saturday last he found the trail of a
big snake on his premises. He says
the reptile, in crossing plowed ground
left a deep trail about foot across it,.
Again, on Monday morning, he found
on the shore of the bay, where some
animal had been killed and devoured
the fur left indicating that the UNI
fortunate animal was an otter. He
found blood for some distance along
the beach, and discovered some redish
brown hair foot long. From the
shore the snake again made its way
across Mr.. Isaacson's premises, and
entered a swamp.

driven to the engine house for the
hose cart, and then to the fire. The
factory was as dry as finder and was
soon wrapped in mass of flames,
while dense black clouds of smoke
rolled over the city. A brisk wind
blew from the lake and carried large
quantities of sparks right into the
heart of the city. Chisholm street, as
far as Second, was showered over with
pieces of the burning factory. Near
the building is the blacksmith shop of
w. Eccles, and there are number of
residences close by. The flames from
the factory were blown viciously over
several of these buildings, and their
roofs were several times on fire. By
hard work of the fire department and
many citizens the flames were con-
trolled and confined to the factory.
The fires that caught in the roofs Of
the adjoining buildings were put out
as soon as they started and did no
damage. Some eight or ten streams
of water from the fire department
hose were playing on the fire, besides
numerous garden hose that were
useful in preventing fires starting in
other sections. At one time it looked
as if large part of the city was
doomed to destruction. In combining
the fire to the factory and controlling
the flames, Chief A. L. Power and
his fire boys did noble work that they
have good reason to be proud of.
The factory and contents are to-
tai loss, and some damage, but not
extensive, was done to cedar post piles
near by. The loss is at least $4,000
and the insurance is reported at ST.
600 in a company not represented by
agents here.
Close by the mill the proprietors
had erected machine for saving ce-
dar pests into blocks for pavement, as
the firm have large paving contract
with the city. The machine had but
just been completed and had been
run a few moments. 1t was also burn
ed.
In front of the factory, on the OPP
posite side of the street, is the rink,
owned by G. F. McRae. 1t had
narrow escape from being burned,
but escaped with smuggling and the
loss of the front windows. There was
no insurance on the rink.

Sunday last, at this city, commenc
ed very warm, but near noon there
were a few slight reports of thunder
followed by a terrific explosion. A
few moments after Che fire alarm
sounded, and then it was known that
thehouse of f. r. Desjardns, at corner
of Chisholm and Tenth streets, had
been struck by lightning and was on
fire. The fire companies were out
promptly but not much trouble was
experienced in putting out the fire
The damage by electricity was extern
sive. Mr.. Desjardins has store con-
nected with his residence and over the
store is his photo gallery. 1t appears
that the lightning must have struck
the galvanized iron chimney and then
broke in several currents which fol.
lowed the wire stays that supported
the chimney. One current entered
through the roof of the photo gallery,
broke the camera and other apparat-
us, and shattered the skylight. An
other current entered a room in the
residence, in one corner of which Mr..
Desjardins was sitting The electric
messenger came through the wall a
short distance above Mr.. Desjardins'
head. He was thrown violently
across the room and when he got up
there appeared to be circle of fire
around the room. On the sides of
the room, near the ceiling, was nailed
a narrow strip of tin, which conducted
the electricity around the room, and
was probably the means of saving
Mr.. Desjardins' life. A branch of
this current entered another room
and wrecked several pictures. An
other part pierced the wall and enter
ed the kitchen. The cupboard was
smashed and some $50 worth of dishes
in it broken into pieces. The current
then entered the ground near the
kitchen hydrant, making a large hole.
The blade of a chopping knife was
thrown by the electricity so violently
against the ceiling that it entered a
board one and half inches. Mr..
Desjardins' hair. before he was struck
by the lightning, was very gray, but
now il is very dark-the electric fluid
having changed the color from white
to black. He sustained no serious
injury.

Planning Mill Burned.

About five o'clock Thursday after
noon, the planning mill of Luther &
Folkerts. at the foot of Chisholm
street, was discovered to be on fire.
The FIRE started In the engine room,
and that part of the building was
thoroughly ignited when the alarm
was given. The central Office was
telephoned, but some moments elapsed
before the call was answered, and by
the time the news had been transmit
Jed to the engine houses, the fire had
worked Its way into the factory so
that there was no chance TO save the
building. AS soon as the alarm was
sounded, the fire department went
promptly to the scene and the work
Of suppressing the flames began Wig

A Beautiful City.

The most beautiful and prosperous city
of the great northwestern portion OF the
Union is Portland, the metropolis of Ore
gon. From the description and many fine
engravings of the city given in the West

any city in America, that it's business
blocks and residences are OF the finest OF
modern architecture, that its streets are
lined with handsome shade trees, and that
It's numerous large private grounds are
ornamented with profusion of shrubbery
and flowers. 1t already contains sixty
thousand people, is the terminus of three
transcontinental railroads, does whole
sale business of 100000, 900 year, and is
growing rapidly in both business and
population. Ii you want to know all

at very low price the entire stock
from the manufacturing department
of the assignee of Root, Strong & Co.,
of Detroit-the greatest failure that
has occurred in Michigan for years
which consists of workingmen's pants,
overalls, overshirts, ETC., at prices, the
likes of which have never been offer

chased the entire bankrupt stock of a
New York firm, at bargain that en-
ables him to undersell the strongest
of his competitors in Alpena and don't
you forget it. Goods are all new,
But the prices will knock you silly.
The largest stock of bankrupt goods
ever exhibited in Alpepa, is now at
