WHEAT GRADES.

Tha Nrfnnesota warehouses Commissioners
Said to Have Reduced the Grades Of
Wheat In that State-Surprise Expressed
and the Effects or the Action Discussed.
CHICAGO, Sept. Sword has beer re.
ceiyed in Chicago that the Minnesota
State Warehouse Commissioners had
taken the important and unexpected step
of reducing the grades of wheat in that
State. For some days there has been a
rumor that No. 1 Northern might be SUBJ
stituted for No. 1 hard, on speculative con-
tracts, but no one anticipated tho sweep
ing changes that have been made. Frac-
tically the old grade of No. ! hard has
been wiped out altogether. The old
names are retained. but that is about all
that is left. Hereafter Nos. hard and
Northern will consist of ninety per cent.
of the old grades and ten per cent OF
damaged or frosted wheat; and the mix-
ture of twenty-five or fifty per cent. OF
frosted stuff is permitted in the lower
grades. Several Board of Trade menu
beers who were seen expressed great SUR
prise at the action Of the commissioners.
There was diversity of opinion as to its
brokers interviewed said the effect of
course would be a lowering of
values as well as Of grades. To
lower the grade in Chicago would
affect every market in the coun-
try, and foreigners will lose confidence
in our grades in consequence of the MIN
nesota commission rs' action. The inn
mediate effect will be bad, and he feared
that the ultimate effect will be worse. He
confessed being big bull on wheat, hut
thought this move would give them set
back. The effect on foreign markets
would he worse than at home. Two other
heavy brokers did not agree with these
views. They thought the action OF the
Minnesota commissioners could have lit
tie effect other than tendency to hold
the Chicago market little firmer. and
ave bad effect on Minnesota wheat. 4
A dispatch from Minneapolis says:
''Of the Northwestern markets Duluth is
perhaps the only one that will be affected
by the new ruling, and the effect there
will be to weaken the stiff squeeze that
has been in existence there for the last
two months. Prices have been kept up at
an ahnormally high figure, and for no
money out of some operators on the short
side. Wheat can not be bought at Du
luth and sold at profit in any market in
the world, nor is there any use Cor the
grain at Duluth. If the admission of
frosted wheat into the hard grade will
turn enough wheat in that direction to
break the cerner' at Duluth, the effect
can not be called harmful, except to
few spectators, while from the Minne-
apolis market there will be removed an
incubus that has rendered local milling
operations extremity unsettled"

Run Down by the United States Wsrship
Boston.
NEW York, Sept S.--Captain Hiram D.
Houseman, of Keyport, N. j., owner and
master of the oyster sloop Tuona, has
fled with the Collector of the Port Of
Perth Amboy protest in which he says
that while engaged in dredging for oys :
tiers at a point two hundred yards off the
Southwest Spit bdoy in the lower bay at
nine O'Clock yesterday morning, he was
run into by what he supposed was the
United States warship Boston, which was
then returning from the cruise to test her
gun fittings. The steamer carried away
her new mainsail to pieces, knocked
overheard shovels and baskets, parted
tho bobstay and the facing on the gait,
and tore of the lazyjack, the
toplift runner and one block on
the toplift. The damage is esti-
mated at $500. Captain Houseman
and his crew were busy with their dredges
and did not see the steamer until she was
right on top of the sloop. 1t was clear
day, and Captain Houseman says he was
entirely out of the main channel Be-
sides, steamers must keep clear of sailing
vessels under the law. Captain House
man said he was once run into by a navy
yard tug while lying at dock in New York,
and that he never received any pay for
the damage done. He is poor man and
can not afford any loss, much less one OF
a fourth OF the value of his sloop, which
he suffered Yesterday.

the 9th of December last, the body of Jacob
Burt an elderly colored deaf mute, was found
buried in potato patch hear his house in
Edgefeld county, with his skull crushed in.
Circumstances pointed to Louise Burt the
murdered mans wife, his daughter Chainey,
fifteen years old, and Ephram Mayes as the
guilty parties, and they were accordingly ar
rested.
Upon their trial the jury failed to agree,
owing to the fact that the state only produced
crcumstantal evidence against them. The
second trial took place in the Edgefeld court
of general sessions yesterday, when the state IS
case against the prisoners was made conclusive
by the voluntary confession of Chainey Burt
which was to the effect that Dan Graham
knocked her father in the head with n baseball
bat and killed him while he was asleep, and
that Ephriam Mayes, Louise Burt and herself
all-of whom were present. and acquiesced In
the murder, picked the victim up, carried him
about ten yards from tho house and buried
him in the potato patch, where the body was
found five days later by the people of the
neighborhood. The jury returned verdict of
guilty Ephriam Mayes and Louise and
Chainey Burt were thereupon sentenced to be
hanged on the 18th OF September next. Dan
Graham disappeared Immediately after tho
murder and has never been arrested 1t is
likely that brief respite will DO granted in
