BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

LONDON, Feb. IS.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press, in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says: The tone of British
wheat since the beginning OF the month
was slightly improved, but it is still very
low. Sales of English wheat during the
past week were 50.351 quarters at 9s Cd
against 81 40 quarters at Sos Id during the
corresponding week last year. Millers
have distinct difficulty in procuring really
sound English wheat of fair weight under

vance in values Foreign wheat is subject
to two different tendencies The growing
continental demand for California wheat
removes to great extent the depression
induced by great excess over the avera &c

which are aided by the Ger

depressing influences prevail Russia last
week increased her shipment from g. 80

a DOG STORY.
Singular Exhibition of Brute Intelligence

Singular Exhibition of Brute Intelligence
Which the Reader is at Liberty to Be-
Iieve if He Likes.
Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph
One of those singular incidents of brute
intelligence that now and then cause men
to pause and ponder upon the inscrutable
mysteries of creation occurred recently in
the City of Allegheny. A gentleman re-
siding there has two very intelligent dogs
which he has trained to work in the tread
mill that runs his wife's sewing machine,
thereby relieving her of that labor. The
dogs take turn about at it, one working in
the morning and one in the afternoon.
The lady was recently making mas.
querade ball costume, which, of course,
she carefully guarded all knowledge OF
from her female friends. One lady espe-
cially had tried every means to find out
what the costume would be, and an abso-
Lutte enmity had grown up between the
two. The other day one of the two dogs
was taken sick and the morning dog had
to do double duty. To this he strenuously
objected, but was whipped until he did the
work.
At the masquerade ball few nights at.
terward the lady was deeply chagrined to
see her rival wear a Costume identically
the same as her own. How she could
have got the pattern remained mystery
until the ladies became friends again and
the facts leaked out. 1t seems the dog
knew of his mistress desire to keep her
costume q secret, and, resentful for the
extra work imposed on him, had watched
his opportunity and taken the pattern to
her rival in his mouth. After it had been
inspected and copied he had returned it 70
its proper place under the sewing machine
box and carefully placed the scissors ard
thimble upon il as they hal baen-

AIjNIOlJE ACCIDENT.

LITCHFIELD, H., Feb. 1S.-This city was
greatly excited Saturday over an occur
renee that for time was so inexplicable
as to border on the supernatural. In bor-
ing for gas the heavy drill got caught at a
depth of 800 feet. After some work it was
released and when brought to the surface
it was covered with blood. The amazed
driliers instilctively leaned over the hole;
they heard a dull, rumbling noise and
presently heard a sepulchral voice calling
up to them: 'You have killed somebody
down here The horror stricken men
fed. They spread the news and the town
was turned upside down in an hour
Hundreds went to the we'll and gazed
down open-mouthed at the bloody drill
and the mysterious cavity it had made
Not until late in the evening was the mys-
terry solved by the presentation OF bill for
$50 by the Litchfield Coal company ''for
one mule killed by drill" The explana-
ton was simple. The coal company's
mine extended under the gas company's
territory and their best mule had been in
the way of the drill when it pierced the
roof OF the mine, and was killed.

for refusal to levy special tax to pay in

friends, and the United States authorities
encountered trouble in trying to arrest
him. Finally strategy was resorted to-.
The marshal heard that the judge was
fond of fox hunting, and he induced the
farmers to give big circle hunt The
event came off Friday, and the judge was
present in all his glory While the round,
up was in progress Marshal Willis decided
to roundup the judge. Choosing q mo-

CAPITAL ITEMS,
No Agreement Reached on the Omnibus

WASHINGTON, Feb 1S.-The clerk an
nounced that the proposed Democratic
caucus would not be held this evening,
having been postponed for the present.
an announcement which called for sarcas-
tic laughter from the representatives.
Mr.. Call introduced an amendment to
the army appropriation bill providing that
hereafter the number of paymasters in the
army with the rank of major shall be
forty, and that the army shall be paid
monthly unless circumstances shall render
such payments impracticable.
Mr.. Klein, the American newspaper man
whose adventures in Samoa have been the

He telegraphed Secretary Bayard upon his

he be summoned to testify concerning
matters in Samoa, but the secretary was
advised that the committee did not deem
it proper to take any further steps in the
Samoan matter, pending the result of the
conference to be held in Berlin, and so AIR.

for it was believed that after action Of the

conferees would be purely formal.
but it i intimated that the house conferees
are inclined to insist that their views on
the points of difference yet remaining
shall be accepted. As yet the senate con-
ferees are not inclined to cOncede this It
appears that several matters of detail
which were supposed to be of minor i'm
portance have suddenly become stumbling
blocks in the way of an agreement. Al
the confer, nee today, for instance. the e
was considerable discussion OF the dates OF
elections in South Dakota, the house
cOnfereeS favoring an election of
legislature in October, which would per-
NIT newly elected senators aud representa-
tives to take part in organization of the
congress in December. The senate prono-
sition contemplateS an earlier election.
There are also differences Of views respect

settled.
