LAFAYETTE. July 14-[Special. IA disease
has appeared in certain sections of the state,
particularly in Lagrange county, seriously al

The damage likely to be wrought by il, and the
rareness with which it occurs in this country,
seem 70 render brief description of the in
lection Of importance to the agricultural COM

growth known as bunt, or "stinking SIN ut, on
account of its strong and disagreeable odor.

common in England. The wheat head on

a Bit of FrankIin Romance.

FRANKLIN, July 15.-[Special. For some
time past Philip Mullikin and Miss Ella, the
sixteen-year-old daughter of Thomas Flynn,
have been keeping company occasionally, as
they could, without the knowledge of the young
Iady's parents, who were decidedly against the
attentions Of the young man, at one time the
daughter being taken to indianapolis to escape
his attentions. But Cupid was not to be fius-
tered in his designs, and on Saturday night
Miss Flynn, accompanied by her parents at
tended a social meeting. About o'clock
young Mullikin put in an appearance, much to
the annoyance of Mr.. Flynn, who placed him
self in such q position as TO watch the move
ments of the young couple. But it seems
that he was not good sentinel,
for about 9:30 he was told that his daughter had
gone. He was greatly surprised, but he hastily
came TO town and securing the assistance of the
marshal the two gentlemen took the 1880 train
for indianapolis, thinking the runaway couple
would drive through to that city and that they
would apprehend them, but in this they were
mistaken. After remaining over night they
came back to this city yesterday. Later in
formation is that the couple had gone to Shell
byville. Mr.. Flynn was in consultation with
legal authorities to-day as to what course to
pursue, but it will probably be of no benefit to
him, for by this time the couple are married and
beyond his parental authority.
Iater-The couple were married in Louis
ville KY, to-day.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.


CHICAGO, July ia good speculative
business was transacted in wheat to-day and
the market ruled rather strong, though there
were occasional spurts of weakness. While
last week the market declined on the pros
poets of liberal receipts of new wheat, it
ruled steadier to-day the possibilities that
expectations may not be realized. At Mime
apolis not more than half the quantity was re-
ceived that had been talked about and at ST.
Louis instead OF 100000 bushels, only $4,000
bushels were received. Out of l06 cars re-
ceived here, Is cars were new and 5S
cars of contract grade. 1t was feared
that the movement might not be as free as ex-
pected early in the season and this induced
some buying and covering of shorts. The vis-
BILE supply decrease exceeded expectations and
was a strengthening feature. The opening was

clined sake, then advanced sc again, ruled

ately active and shade frmer, but price tluc-

transacted in mess pork at irregular

there appeared two strangers, who pretended

They enticed the boys TO their camp

the boys for beer asked the twelve-year-old son
of Charles Picket to bring a cartridge from a
box in the wagon. telling him TO light a match.
There instantly occurred frightful explosion
