CHICAGO, Feb. 2S-Trading in wheat
YVES of a rather limited character today
and the market ruled quiet and at times
very dull. Outside news were scarce ana
there was but little on which to base OPP
erations. The market opened from the
same to nc above closing figures OF yes
terdav. and then declined &c under falr
offerings and a possible attempt to bear
the market. But the offerings were taken
without much of a break IN prices, ana
this started shorts to covering, some OF the
buying being done by parties who sold
early. and prices, with several fluctuations,
advanced nc, declined sc and closed nc
higher than yesterdays closing. Foreign
advices were less favorable. Advlces from
the northwest report stocks in country
elevators as having decreased /, 5o0,O0o to
100000 bushels since February !, and
that the stocks are now down TO about
5000, OG0 bushels.
There was rather more interest mani
Tested in corn, trading being quite active
and higher range of prices was estab-
lished The advance was attributed
mainly to covering by shorts and brought
out a good many orders and the mar
ket was quite active at times. Opening
sales were at about closing prices of yes
terdey. after which the market gradually
advanced 3S01Zc, became quiet and steady
eased off some and closed 1l995c higher
than yesterday.
Oats were quiet and rather in rut and
fluctuations were confined to &c range.
The continued liberal receipts OF hogs
encouraged rather free offerings of prod
ucts. Local buyers were a little back
ward about taking hold and outside orders
were somewhat limited. Prices ruled
lower on all leading articles with trading

July delivery.

A DESPERATE ROBBER,
An Alabama Postmaster Killed by
Burrows, a Fugitive Robber.

A special reports that on July 18th
Postmaster Gray, at Gain, Lamar
county, was shot and killed by man
who escaped. Gray lived an hour and
gave the following account Of the
affair: A few days ago package
came TO the Office addressed Cain"
No person living there bearing that
name, he returned it to the sender. A
man named Burrows called for the
package July 18th and being told that
it had been returned asked Gray II he
had seen its contents. Gray said Yes"
upon which Burrows shot him and
then attempted to shoot Mrs. Fray
and her sister. Gray says the pack
age had come TO the Office partly
opened and he could not help seeing
it contained white mask. Gray also
said Burrows was the same RUDE Bur-
rows, the robber who escaped from
an officer at Montgomery, Ala, year
or so ago, the time his brother Jim was
caught and carried back 10 Arkansas.
IL will be remembered that RUDE and
Jim were in Montgomery and police
officer had them in charge, taking them
to police headquarters. At the foot OF
the steps both dashed for liberty. RUDE
escaped, shootinga printer named Bray
who tried to interrupt them. RUDE was
subsequently surrounded and shot at by
an officer but disappeared in the swamps,
since which time he has not been heard
OF till now.

KILLED BY FOUL AIR.
Four Men Lose Their Lives Under
Peculiar Circumstances.

At Lincoln, Neb., July 18th, four
men lost their lives in that city under
peculiar circumstances. A watch was
dropped in cess-pool and the men
were endeavoring to recover IL. They
dug a large hole at the side OF the
pool. The hole was filled with water
by the rain. Ono man stood on a
ladder above the water and made an
opening into the cess-pool. The foul
air and gas rushed out and overcame
him and he fell into the water. A
friend went to give him aid ana was
likewise overcome. Others came TO
help, and one by one seven men fell
into the water, which by this time was
full OF muck and slime from the vault.
Three men were rescued, some by men
who afterwards persisted in attempting
save the others. The dead are: James
Crawford, bricklayer; Albert hunk
Ter, laborer; John Cleary, blacksmith;
and Frank Maloney, plasterer. Craw.
ford and Cleary arc married.

They All stole.

A few years after the war, Ed. Col
Inns, a shiftless fellow of Mercer Coun.
ty, Ky, was indicted for stealing. The
case came up before Judge J.. G.. Wick
life, then Circuit Judge. The trial was
in the Court House ut Harrodsburg.
Phil. Thompson, Jr.. was prosecuting
attorney. and Phil. Thompson. ST., and
Col. Thomas G, Bell appeared for the
defence. Ed. Butts was Circuit Clerk.
Collins had been soldier in the Federal
army, while every man on the jury, the
prosecuting attorney, chief clerk. and
the Judge himself, had fought for the
Conlederacy.
The witnesses were brought forward
and plain case of theft was made out
against Collins. The only dependence
of the defense. was the testimony OF
Collins daughter Rose, who was to
prove an abb. She was beautiful
woman, with well-rounded figure, deep
black eyes, complexion in which the
hues Of health sat beautifully en-.
lhroned and black hair that swept I'M
confined almost to the floor in long
waves. She was made to tell her story
for all il was worth, and Col. Bell made
n touching plea. appealing to the sym
tifui woman in distress, with all the
power of language he could summon,
but the veterans Of Donelson and Shiloh
were unnioved.
Then old Phil. Thompson laid himself
out to mystify them and raise doubt
as to the prisoners guilt, and he, too,
finally began to appeal to their gal
lantry. In the midst ,of q glowing
sentence, however, he caught the jury
yawning, looking out of the window
and seemingly wholly inattentive.
Breaking Off his pathos, the old lawyer
leaned back on table moment, eyed
the jury quizzically with a humorous
twinkle in his eye and said:
Look here, gentlemen, this stealing
was done during the war, and you can't
do anything with man for that. You,
Tom Mundy! he continued, turning
and pointing to the foreman Of the jury
strapping big Kentuckian. "don't you
