CHICAGO REVIEW.
BUSINESS i'm the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays session.

CHICAGO, October 4.-To-day the wheat
market was again lacking i'll snap, and
devoid of sensational features. The open
ing figures were on a level with yeSter-
DAYS closings, and, after numerous and
frequent fluctuations within 12c. limits,
December selling up to S212 off to S1M,
and back to S212 again, the market ap-
pcarcd to get into rut, out OF which it
could not be dislodged by either side.
Although prices averaged for the day
fractionally above yesterdays closing
quotations, the undertone was weak and
surface indications were bearish. Re
ported arrivals of over 700 cars of wheat
at Minneapolis and Duluth, and a dis
patch saying that Minneapolis millers
had reduced their prices 1c. in the coun-
try, had depressing effect here. Rcaliz-
ing sales early, and slump to S1a4c.,
December proved to be the only feature OF
the forenoon. A little squirt just at the
close carried prices to the outside figures
of the day, and the market at adjourn
ment showed net gain of 12c. to sc.
Corn ruled quiet greater part OF the
session, with occasional periods of tenn
porarv activity. The feeling developed
was steady, and prices averaged shade
lower compared with yesterday. Trad
ing was mainly of local character, and
fluctuations confined within a narrow
range.
Oats were slow and easier, with trad
ing chiefly local No outside influences
were brought to bear, and transactions
were mainly at slightly below yester-
dav's closing figures.
Trading in mess pork was very light.
Prices ruled slightly higher, and the
market closed quiet at inside figures.
In lard, very little was done, and the
market ruled steady. Prices ruled about
2&ca5c. higher, ard the market closed
steady.
Short ribs attracted very little atten-
ton, and trading was light. Prices
ruled tirmer and 212c.a5c. higher, and
the market closed steady.

wArERspOUTs ON1.AKE ERIE:
A Schooner Escapes Four, hut Is
Caught in the Fifth.

A Buffalo telegram says: The two
mast schooner George c. Finney, with a
cargo of 10000 bushels of wheat from
Toledo, encountered waterspout while
off Port Colborne yesterday, and when it
left her she was barely afloat. The fore
mast was gone to the deck, the mainmast
was broken off half way down and the
iibboom was twisted out. OF the sails
only the mainsail was saved.
1t was Il gusty and nasty day on the
lake all day. Waterspouts were numcr-
Gus. The crew of the Finney say they
had already avoided four when the fifth
one struck them. This one came up Just
under the stern of the schooner and
tossed her about like an egg shell. The
schooner at first on her bow in moment
was stern down, while her spars were
crashing on every side. One of hcryards
was driven down through the deck deep
into the grain and the cargo is supposed
to he considerably damaged.
The propeller Parnel saw the casualty
and turned about. When she reached he
Finney the waves were breaking over her,
and Captain Griffin thinks that she
would have gone down if he had not
come to the rescue.

Memorial window.

Mr.. l.. Munday showed us yesterday
the design for memorial rose window
to be placed in the Christian church in
this city as a tribute to the memory of
!. NJ. and Eliza Baird. 1t is the work of
!. & X. Lamb, of 80 Carminc street, New
York. To our eye it is strikingly bcauti-
ful and appropriate. As the name rose
window" indicates, the outline is circu-
lar in relation to the top, the bottom
presenting nearly horizontal line. In
the cry centre is Il scroll, on which are
inscribed, as on the book Of life, those
gone before" in the midst of effulgent
light from which the rays radiate to
darkcn into n rich amber as they rcccdc
from the central source. The margin is
occupied with richly Colorcd cmblcmatiC
figures, while at each side of the base are
two designs illustrative of the Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, time
and eternity. The whole is chastc, taste
ful, appropriate and beautiful.

The Monroe Register

Is the name of a new and handsomely
printed thirty-twO column weekly pub
lshcd in the town of Monroe, Union
county, and edited by NJ. A. Underwood
and G. NJ. Bcascly. The salutatory is
short and sweet" but satisfactory, i'll
asmuch as it ranks itself under Demo
cratic banners. Monroe is one of our
new towns, now rapidly growing in size,
business and population. We recall it
when the farm of Mr.. Dillon was selected
as the county seat, when the court was
held i'll Mr. DillOn'S house, and when our
friend c. NJ. T. McCauley, well known as
a leading lawyer and able and frequent
member of both houses of the LcgiSla-
turc, went there to live, took up his
abode in Mr. Dilion's house, and with
all his early modcsty. fell in love with
and married one of Mr. Dillon's daugh-
ters, and is now one of the "oldest in
habitants" of the town now grown to
consequence. For Monroe, with its two
railroads, is place of large business,
mainly in cotton, and sin fact one of the
most prosperous towns in interior North
Carolina.
Success to the RcpiStcr.

The Four Territories.

1t seems to be conceded that on Tues
dav Montana went for the Democrats
and the other three imperfect States for
the Republicans. One result is the cleo
ton of four Republicans and ono Demo-
crat to the next national House of
Representatives. These new members
increase the membership to $50 and
quorum to 1866 The Republican strength
in the next House will be 16S and the
Democratic strength 162-a Republican
majority of six. But 16S is only two
more than bare majority. The Demo
Gratis had about fifteen majority i'll the
last House and were able on but one
single occasion to find a quorum of their
own.

ROMANCE IN REAL, LIFE.
A st. Louis woman RenOunces
the Man she Loves.

A st. Louis dispatch of recent date
SAYS: In a divorce case tllcdin the circuit
court, entitled Marian Miller VS.. Louis
Miller there is most strange and ro-
mantle history. TWENTY-FIVE years ago
Louis Miller, then of st. Petersburg, Rus-
sia, married lady of high birth.
After the marriage they settled down
in their native city. Miller decided to
leave his native land and try his fortune
among a free people. He came here and
entered business and accumulated for
tune. During all OF this time he was
sending money to his wife and receiving
letters from her, but in a few months
after he left home his mother, with whom
he left his Young wife, died, and the wife
left to Join her friends 900 miles Ill the
interior of Russia. All of this time the
mails were very irregular. The young
wife received no letters from him and he
received none from her, until one day
letter came to him with the tidings OF her
death.
Thinking him lost his wife concluded to
visit this country and learn, it possible,
what had become of him. Bringing with
her their son, who had grown to man
hood, she landed in Baltimore and the
son came to st. Louis and engaged i'll
business. Meeting some friends, one day
they asked him where his father was,
and he told them the story OF his fathers
life. They said the son looked like a man
they knew, and he sent to his mother for
a picture of his father, which was shown
his friends, who took him at onceto that
gentleman.
But in the meantime, in July, 1887,
the father had married again, and was
living in fine style i'll this city. His first
wife came to see him and the meeting be
tween them was one of joy and sadness.
Both wives, ii is declared, loved the hus-
bLud, but the good Judgment of the last
wife did not forsake her, and she said she
would release him to again live and love
his bride of the years long gone by. Act
ing on this resolution she has employed
counsel to bring a suit to release her and
him from the ties that bind them to-
gether.

EX-GOVERNOR PIERPONT
SAYS virginia Is In no Wise Liable
for the MOneY.

PITTsBURG, October 4.-Ex-Govcrnor
Frances H. Pierpont, of Virginia, who is
in the city, was asked to-day about the
report in the recent dispatches that the
Federal government claimed $4,000
from Virginia, said amount being part of
an appropriation said to he unaccounted
for by the State officials.
"Virginia has nothing to do with that
money" said the governor. ut never
went into the State treasury, and was
not handled by the States officers.
Congress made an appropriation of
$4,000, 900 to bc used i'll certain
States in Suppressing the re bellion.
Of this $4,000 was sent by or
order of the President to Daniel Lamb
to be disbuuscd under the order of
the government of Virginia for equipping
and feeding volunteer soldiers wilhelm the
service, and it was so disbursed. Lamb
was careful with his vouchers and was
careful with my warrants. Lamb acted
as a disbursing officer of the United
States, and not a dollar of the money
went into the treasury of Virginia. 1t is
nonsense to talk about making Virginia
liable, The governor Of Virginia was
neither a receiving nor a disbursing
officer, and the State never got any of the
money" "

Fire Insurance.

The organization of such an institution
i'll our midst is at present receiving the
very serious consideration of some of our
leading business men and capitalists.
Why not? The increase in the number of
houses and other subjects of insurance
enlarges every day. The common pru-
dence of interest demands the protection
ofinSuranCe safe guards, and the result
is that annually large sums in the aggrc-
gate are carried away to secure such pro-
lection. We lindin the proposition moth
ing hostile to, or even conflicting with,
the interests of the companies now doing
business here. They have been able and
faithful friends to Asheville. But they,
represented as foreign companies, have
had the experience of all active business
life that, Competition is the life of
trade" There is good reason why the
business men here should enter into this
competition. There is plenty OF business
talent here to successfully direct such an
enterprise; and there is also abundant
capital if it can be diverted into this new
channel.
Let the subject have full and fair con-
SidCratiOn.

THE BALTIMORE.
The Official Report Upon Her
Recent Trial Trip.

WASHINGTON, October 4.-The official
report of the trial board on the cruiser
| Baltimore, relative to her recent trial
run was received at the navy department
this morning. The board states that
the average horsepower developed by
the engines was S,977.S6; the require
ncnt being 5000, thus making de-
ticiency of 22.12 powers, which would in
cur Il penalty of So, ,212. The screw made
an average Of III revolutions, which,
allowing 6 per cent. slip, wOuldgive her
an average speed of 90 knots an hour
The report states that during the run,
two of the indicators which had been
thoroughly tested before the trial broke,
and it was necessary to substitute two
others which had not been tested. On
| tile record of these indicators depended
the record of the development of horse
power.
Secretary Tracy, after reading of the
report this morning, decided to walvc
the question of acceptance of the vessel
until he could hear from the Cramps, the
| contractors, as to whether or not they
were willing to let the last trial stand as
final one, or preferred to have another
trial run with indicators thoroughly
tested. His defence in the matter is
based on the accident to the Indicators.
The report shows that the ship made
wonderful speed, notwithstanding the
failure to develop good horse power,
and the Secretary is inclined to lOokupon
that achievement as eminently salts
factory. The allowance made for the
slip in calculating speed is a large one.
The Cramps will be allowed another OPP
portunty to test the horse power of the
cruiser at their own expense. Should
they prefer not to have another trial, the
cruiser will be accepted by the govern
ment.
Rear Admiral Kimberly, in communica-
ton to the navy department, reports his
arrival at Honolulu, September Goth,
from Samoa, per steamer Alameda. He
says that he has hOistcd his flags on
board of the Alert. He left Apia, Samoa,
in the Adams, September 13, and en-
barkcd with his personal staff, Lieuten-
ants Rittcnhousc and Marian, on board
Il mail steamer next morning.
The Monongahcla sailed from Apia for
the navy yard Mare Island, September
l3, with the guns. gun carriages and
articles recovered from the wrecks Of the
Vandalia and Trenton.
The Admiral reports that he was en-
tcrtained at dinner at Apia on the 18th
of August by the residents of the place,
principally English and Americans, at
which the kindest sentiments were eX
pressed towards the United States and
its representatives. Mataafa, accom-
panied by the principal chief of the gov
crnmcnt, and attended by large num-
Der of Samoa people, called to bid him
goodbye; and in conformity with their
custom, presented him with large
quantity of mats, fans, etc, which repre-
scntcd gifts from all parts of Samoa.

HOW HE CURED THEM.
The Fool and His Money soon
Parted.

North State.
A medicine man, who dropped into
Greensboro circus day, played the conf
dcncc game i'll novel way. He stood i'll
buggy at the junction of Church and
Greene streets. He was handsome and
well dressed. The crowd gathered around
and listened to his siren voice. His med
icine was a cure-all, and only few mo-
mcuts would be given to buy it at 20
cents bottle.
MANY handed up the change and re-
ccived not only bottle of medicine but
25 and sometimes so cents in return.
Then so cent bottles were offered. There
was rush. These purchasers got back
medicine with 80 cents and dollar pieces,
and so generous did the medicine man
whom the people now took to be a lun-
attic with a tortunel become that he
threw shot bag tull of quarters into
the crowd. Such a scramble. Then he
offered ST bottles. There was a great
rush Hundreds of dollars were handed
up. A bottle of medicine, nothing else
was handed to each purchaser and the
lunatic remarked; Gentlemen, you
have the medicine, have the money y
and put whip to his horse and drove off.
This fellow made some $500 out of about
as many of them.
