CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business Ira the Grain Center Dur
Ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October 9.-The speculative
side of the wheat market was rather a
surprise to-day, ruling dull and weak
early and very strong and more active
later Traders were rather puzzled at
the action Of the market. Operators no
doubt found themselves short towards
the close and were anxious to cover.
Some foreign buvinG of futures was men
toned. A prominent local trader was
the principal seller around S3c. for De-
cember, and another large operator to-
gether with some other lOcafbull contin-
gent took offerings. The market opened
easy and prices receded l4a9sc. below yes
terday's closing, after which the market
advanced ssa 1ac., ruled steady tor some
time, with later rally of 12c. more and
closed about 7sa1c. higher than yester-
days closing.
An easier feeling was manifested in
corn, transactions being at lower prices
within a narrow range. There was con-
siderable pressure to sell May, this future
receiving most attention, there being one
trade of 1000 bushels at 327Ac. The
temper of the local crowd was bearish,
and offerings at times were quite heavy.
hSlN "do bloO HullS NV oSIhllS ~ iNSSi'-
crs. A good many orders were on the
market to change nearer months to May
at about 212c. premium for the latter
month. The market opened at about
Yesterdays closing quotations and under
liberal offerings sold off Ac., rallied Ac.,
became firmer and closed about the same
as yesterday.
The oats market showed further de
preston to-day under large offerings by
longs, who again unloaded freely The
result was another I2c. break i'll prices,
which carried the market down to about
the lowest point touched. Cash and Oc-
tober receded to 1Sasa1S12c., and at ono
time Nav sold as low as 17l4.
Little interest was manifested in the
market for hog products, and the feeling
was comparatively steady. Outside
orders were scarce and local operators
were not inclined to do much business.
Some mess pork was accepted on October
un Ter protest and 1000 barrels were
sold out to close trades. Prices for lead,
ing articles exhibited very little change
and trading was confined to small guam
titles.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
TWO COMPRESSES BURNED
AT SAVANNAH.
Four Thousand Bales of Cotton
and Five warehouses Consume d
The LOSS Estimated at EOrtS
Thousand Dollars.

Thousand Dollars.
SAVANNAH, Ga, October 9.-Two COM
presses, the Tyler and the lower Hy-
drauliC, five cotton warehouses and
$500 bales of cotton were burned
this afternoon. The loss is estimated at
$40, 900. The fire started in the Hy
draulic press yard and spread with such
rapidity that the firemen were unable to
control it and it burned until the ware
houses and presses were destroyed and
Chere was nothing more for the flames to
feed upon. Three vessels, the Napier.
Cypress and Carlton, all British st, am
ships, were lying at their wharves in
front of the burning buildings. For a
long time the Carlton was in great
danger. One side of her was bis
tered and the wharves took fire. OF
the 1890 bales of cotton there will be
scarcely any saved. The loss is estimated
at $40, 900, and the insurance on the
buildings, presses, etc, is $50, 500, and
$1,000 accounted tor on cotton. A
greater part of the cotton was covered
by footing policies. The destruction Of
the presses will not interfere in any way
in the handling of cotton. The reserve
presses of the Savannah Cotton Press
Association, which controlled the burned
presses, will be started tomorrow and
their capacity will more than equal that
of the Hydraulic and Tyler presses.
The origin Of the fire is unexplained A
watchman in the warehouse where it
started saw a blaze flash from the pile
of cotton bales and before anything
could be done the entire warehouse was
in flames.

HER CAREER ENDED.
Death of Madame AIbertine, the
Blind Actress.

Louisville Courier,Journal.
BosTON, October mime. Albertine,
the blind actress whose death after lin
Rering illness occurred in New Bedford
to-day, had very checkered career.
Hannah Manchester was her name, and
she was born at Tiverton, K. l., in 1890.
When but fifteen years old she married
..Icus performer and went on the road
with him. Her debut on the stage was
made at Augusta, Maine, as Sophia in
FThe Rendezvous" in company i'll
which Wizeman Marshall was leading
man. By his advice she took tuition
from the once famous Pauline des lard
ms, who came to this country with
Fanny Ellsler, and soon became almost
4 her teachers equal as danseuse. She
appeared in "The French Spy" and then
as dot" i'll THE Cricket on the Hearth"
with Frank Chanfrau. For a number of
years Nine. Albertine had company of
her own on the Pacific coast, and then
visited Australia. This was the begin
ming of her misfortunes. Captain Ralph
Chandler, U. S. n, found her in an asy-
lum in Ballarat, victim of colonial fever
and totally blind, and brought her to
America in the Swartara. This was i'll
1875. Since that time Nine. Albertine

ter in New Bedford.

TO DO but SCATTER
no Future for the COIOred FDeO-
pie In the south.

Boston Herald
A dispatch from Washington of a re-
cent date says: Senator Bruce to-day
said: 81 hadn't visited my State before
for several years. | naturally expected
to find on my return there that the
colored people were advancingas as rapidly
as they were when left to come to the
Senate, but was sadly mistaken Their
condition is pitiable IN the extreme. The
people of the North never hear of one
half of the Southern outrageS, and those
they do read of are always falSly pre-
sented. There is nothing left for the col
ored people of the South to do but to
scatter The West is great and
prosperous portion of our country,
and thousands upon thousands of col
ored people could find employment there
at fair wages. The white people could,
of course, object to their laborerS taking
their leave. Really, though, why should
they? Leading men of that section have
recently expressed themselves in favor of
having the negroes sent out of the South;
but they would object, and do all in their
power to prevent anything like an organ
lied emigration movement. But things
can't go on much longer as they are. |
hope for the best, but it is fact that the
South is rushing like whirlwind to snre
disaster. While in Mississippi was con-
stantly advising my people to be patient,
and promised them that the Christian
element Of the white people Of this coun-
try will see that they have justice. The
old people are patient, but the young are
not so. So many ofthem are being killed
and life is SO uncertain that they don't
care much for their futnre. | hope they
will leave the South. This may end the
trouble"

-Four negroes who failed to list their
tax for the present year, according to
law, had hearing before Justice c. W.
Malone yesterday afternoon. In de-
fault of payment of tax, or satisfactory
excuse why such failure should have oc-
Cured, the Justice committed the delin-
quents to jail for thirty days, this SEN
tence being the alternative when the $50
fine in such cases remains unpaid.

sun Cotton Review.

NEW YORK, October 9.-The Suns cot
ton review says Futures were active
and buoyant throughout the day, only
easing off a little in the last fifteen min
utes. There were strong reports Of kill
ing frosts in the Carolinas which started
buying, and the bears tumbled over
each other in their anxiety to cover, car
rying up prices ten and twelve points.
There is no doubt that frosts unusually
severe for so early in October have been
felt over most of the south, but doing
little or no damage in districts where
much cotton is grown. Cotton on spot
was steadier.

Belford's Magazine says in an able ar
ticle on Southern crime and Northern
comment: 1--WE have fallen into the sim
gular and not commendable habit at the
North of treating the South, in our COM
ments upon any startling event in that
region, from very lofty and superior
standpoint. We improve the occasion,
as divines say, by delivering moral lect-
ures, as if we were, if not guardians, at
least licensed censors Of the Southern
people. How we came to indulge in this
ludicrous and exasperating practice is
difficult to account for. We certainly
are in no better condition morally than
our brethren of the South. For every
violence in that part of the country we
can offer at least two at the North. True,
our murdererS are of low order, while
the wrong-doers of the South claim to be
gentlemen. On the other hand, the
swindlers doing business in the States
of the late Confederacy are OF degraded
class, while our fraud-worke lead our
social lite and purchase seats in the Sen
ate"
Philadelphia Record: The people of
Kansas don't want negro settlers to
come among them, and the people of
Vermont repel the suggestion of sending
a colony of Indians into the Green Noun
tains. There is a wonderful difference
between abstract and actual philan-
thropy. The unfortunate colored brother
i'll the South, and poor Lo in the West,
are objects of distant commiseration in
Kansas and Vermont; but commisera-
tion evaporates when put to practical
test. Kansas is so decisively Republican
that there is small use for a colored man
there, even as temporary sojourner
about election time; and there is no use
at all for Indians in Vermont.

luton adopted by the shareholders of the
Delagoa Bay Railway company, yesterday,

be compelled TO return to the company the
money IL expended and pay an Indemnity
for the damage it has caused. 1t says Lis

forcing Portugal to fulfill the concession.

DROWNED IN SKIM MILK.

aCurious Way.

a lsifteen-Months ToddIer Meets Death IN
aCurious Way.
Philadelphia Press: The people who
live in the country around about Septimus
Turner's farmhouse, two miles from Bris-
tol, cannot believe that Farmer Turner's
grandchIld, George Dwyer, was drowned
in q wash boiler full Of buttermilk 1t is q
fact, though. that Farmer Turner's Is
months-Old grandchild was found drowned,
and that he was drowned In a boiler full of
Farmer Turner'S milk.
The drowning has caused a sensation
among the people of that vicinity, because
the Turner'S are well known, and nearly
every wagon that passed the farm carried
some one who knew the bright little tod
dier who met his death on Monday morn
ing. The cows on Turner's farm were
wstered about sunrise and then driven
over 10 the barn where the farm hands
stalled and milked them. Later the milk
was carried over to the spring house where
Mrs. Turner and little George Dwyer
were.
Little George was the pride OF Turner's
farm, he being the kind old farmers
youngest grandchild. The yOungster, only
10 months old, was stronger than most in
fants at that age, and could romp among
the daisy patches as well as Farmer Tur-
walking since he was 10 months old. Mrs.
Turner took the child 10 the dairy on Mon
day, and while she attended to some churn-
ing and other work little George toddled
around the spring house. A big wash boi-
Ter of skinned milk was drawn of in a
churn and placed on the floor, around
which the child in boyish glee skipped and
jumped.
After while Mrs Turner was called to
the barn and went there, leaving the boy
70 play with the boiler filled with milk
When be was alone George quieted, and
every few seconds would reach over the
side, dip bis fingers in the milk and taste
II. Then he wanted TO see what tasted SO
good, and TO do so jumped up and down by
the can, looking over the rim every time he
got his head high enough. Then the
younRster put one foot over the edge and
dipped his head In thesmilk 10 get drink
This was fatal move, for the child lost his
balance and fell headlOng into the white
huis With his feet sticking out over the
edge of the can.
One of Mr.. Turner'S little daughters
came into the dairy, and, seeing Georges
feet up, ran and tried TO pull her little
nephew out, but failed. Then she called
her mother, who lifted the child out He
was dead.
