CHICAGO REVIEW.
business in the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October 21.-Wheat trans,
actions were large to-day, the trading
being in speculative way and the mar,
ket ruling weak and lower.
In corn good speculative trade was
had, but lower prices were the rule all
around. The chief weakening influence
was free offerings by prominent local
SPECTATORS whose sales probably reached
5000, 900 bushels, chiefly May and No,
vcmbcr. There was a very good demand
for MAY and November around 32ac
The market opened at about saturday S
closing, became weak and sold off 12c.,
but rallies lsai4r. when the visible sup
ply was made known, showing decrease
in the amount in sight of 1,122,OOO
bushels, finally ruling steady and closing
iSaAc. lower.
Oats were depressed by the weakness
in wheat and by large receipts. Trading
was active. The depression was most
marked in near futures, October delivery
declining to 177sc. Later May became
stronger, most of the decline being re-
gained.
Mess pork attracted very little atten-
tion. The offerings were light and the
demand limited, being confined to filling
the needs of a few shorts. The prices ex-
hibired very little change.
More strength was developed in lard,
but the trading was only moderate. The
belief prevails that the market is over
sold for October and inquiry in a quiet
way tended to confirm this. Prices were
advanced 5a7l2c. on October while other
deliveries were stronga at 2l2a5c. advance.
Trading i'll shor: ribs was somewhat
limited and the feeling easier. Priccsrule
about DEG. lower and the market closed
quiet.

man, the well known lawyer who has
figured in 50 many matrimonial troubles
here and i'll Chicago, was shot and in
stantly killed by {. M. Chambers this
afternoon at Ferguson, Mo.
The killing grew out of trouble between
the two over the old Times newspap r.
Chambers was large StockhOlder and
the principal owner OF the paper up to
the time of its demise. Bowman was
also financially Interested in it. He
bought, among other things, the Asso-
ciated Press franchises OF the paper and
has been in litigation over the matter
with Chambers ever since.
This afternoon Bowman, accompanied
by deputy sheriff Garrett, of St Louis
county, called at Chambers nome i'll Fer
gusun, Mo, about eighteen miles west ut
ST. Louis. His purpose was To levy All
attachment on Chambers life interest i'll
his wite's estate, or whatever property
he might he able to find.
Chambers met Bowman and Garrett at
the gate. Bowman said:

continued Chambers.
Bowman did not move, and an instant
later, Chambers raised his gun and
poured the load into Bowmans heart.
The men were close together, and the full
load took effect in The chest, and Bow

into the house, and at +.3O p. m. he was

THE A., A. & B. RAILROAD.
OFFICERS OF THE CONSTRUC-
TION COMPANY HERE.
The Work of Survey to Begin To-
Day, Towards BreVard and
BurnSVille NOw Let all the
Counties do Their Duty.


Huntsville - Sow Let all the
Counties do Their Duty.
On Sunday evening, General G. Z. Var
rington, of New York City, vice president
of the New England Railroad Supply and
Development Campany, and Captain ].
| +. Bradley, of Trumansburg, n. Y, chief
engineer of the same company, reached
Ashevile. Yesterday they spent their
time in conference with the officers of the
A., A. and b. Railroad Company, and
also in riding round the city, and in visit
ing the approaches and points of depart
ure for the lines north and south, with
which they expressed much satisfaction.
The survey begins to-day. Two corps
are to be organized, one working in the
direction of Brevard, the other of Burns
Vile
We have every reason to believe that
he terms of the contract will be faith
fully complied with by the construction
company. 1t remains for the people OF
the counties through which this I'M
mensely important line will pass to do
their duty. At present, they have no
money to pay Out-nOne until the work
is completed. But they must give such
pledges and purpose of good faith as to
give confidence to those who are to do
the work for them.
The road to be built is new i'll its dc
sign, new in its route, new in the terrific
ry to be opened, new initsinhuences; not
an opposition line, but an altogether new
inlet and new outlet giving new value
and Importance to this mountain coun-
try, opening up line of travel unpar-
aleed in the United States as running
hundreds of miles in a high mountain
trough walled in by grand mountain
chains, from whose sides and in whose
valleys are to be drawn those eXhaustless
wealth which are to furnish the local
freight business of the road while thou
sands of travellers will seek this route,
attracted by its beauty and unmistaka-
bic healthiulncss.
The good influence of roads on local
prosperity is too apparent for argument.
The roads already built have added
tentold to the property valuation
of Ashevile. They have added from three
to hvefold to the value Of every county
through which they pass. If a single line,
and its. branches, have done SO much in
six or eight years, what may not be eX-
pected when there is a wider distribution
of railroad blessings?
But enough for the present.

The Way Judge Clark Dispensed
Justice at the Recent Term.

From the Murphy Bulletin we take
the following synopsis of transactions
in the court recently held at HaysviIlc
Judge Clark presiding. 1t will be noted
that the Judge, in the discharge Of his
duties, is no respecter of persons. Al
the parties are among the class spoken
of as "highlv respectable :" and Mr.
Anderson is very prominent citizen and
politician, having represented his county
frequently in the State House of Rep,
resentativcs, and was twice candidate
for the Senate in his Senatorial district
The following is synopsis of the two
most important cases, and we give the
facts Just as we learn them from those in
attendance:
State VS.. ]. p. and f. II. Chastan,
secret assault and battery.
About the 11th of last Tune, !. F., Z.
H., Felix and Ben ChaStain, John Rogers
and James Haney made a secret assault
upon Capt. S. Anderson, which, though
resulting in no injury to the parties en-
gaging in it, created considerable excite
ment. The evidence at the trial was
such that +. II. Chastain was sentenced
to the pententiary for six years, and J.
p. Chastain for two years. The other
Chastains were acquitted while Haney
and Rogers were not tried on account OF
failure to apprehend them
Capt. J. $. Anderson was also con
victed OF assault upon the Chastains, and
sentenced to jail for six months and pay
a fine of $500. Robert and James Stan
bridge, O. l.. Anderson and Napoleon
Long were each sentenced to thirty DAYS
in jail for being accessories i'll the assault.
J. p. Chastain appealed to the supreme
court, and is out under bond.
The sheriff of Clay county passed
through Murphy Friday night with L. H.
Chastain on their way to the penitentiary
at Raleigh. His friends were here and
wanted Judge Clarke to release him on
bond as they wished to appeal, but he
told them he had no further jurisdiction
in the matter, and the only way they
could secure his release was to 90 to
Raleigh and have a habeas corpus issued.
This, we suppose, his friends will do.
Capt. Anderson appealed, and is out
under bond, as are also the other parties.

amount of the American crop that has

weeks, ,529,475 against ,305,3S7
The statement shows that the net rail
movement over land which at the end of
the fourth week of September was ahead
oflaSt year 1897 bales, has since lost
80, ,724 and is now 81 1926 behind last
year. On the other hand it shows that
the amount of the the new crop in sight
