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

CHICAGO, September 26.-As invariably
happens on a genuine bull market for
wheat, the news from everywhere was OF
a stimulating character. Heavy trading
was witnessed in all of the leading futures
to-day. Large outside buying orders
were received, and in the minds of con
scrvative operators there fingered Il sus-
picion that there might, after all, be some
manipulation in the deal. A local house
with a large eastern and foreign client
age, sold nearly 100000 bushels OF
long wheat early, and later in the day
bought almost as much on orders mainly
from the outside. Early cables to the
hoard were firm for both spot and fu-
ttlrcS, and late or closing ones called Cali
iorilia spot wheat and all futures led.

tiuns were the largest so far on the crop.

A shady YieM.

The North State takes pride in the ap-
pearance of the once beautifully shaded
Elm street of Greensboro since it's fine
trees have been cut down. 1t is the old
fable over again of the fox whose tail had
been nipped off by steeltrap. Hemade
the most of his misfortune, was bound to
believe the curtailment an Improvement,
and tried to force his example upon the
vulpine public. The North State draws
this philosophic reflection from the now
shadeless street, that great many peo-
pie will not work as long as a shade can
be found to sit in. Perhaps that is one of
the secrets of the vim of Asheville. Its
thoroughfares, its business ones at any
rate, are without trees, and there is moth
ing to do but push along and keep
a-moving;" though if one looks down
upon it from a neighboring height it ap-
pears like forest-buried town.

PROCTOR KNOTT's STORY.
How Governor Stewart ReVenRed
HimseIf OH a Brutal Captain.
New York Sun

New York Sun,
Sitting in the rotunda of the Alexander
hotel of Louisville, Proctor Knott last
night told this story:
at was the most remarkable scene
ever witnessed. 1t occurred during my
early manhood, when | was attorney
general of Missouri Robert Stewart
was then governor of that State. One
day was in his private office when he
pardoned a steamship man for some
crime. What it was have forgotten,
but that does not matter. The man had
been brought from the pcnltentiary to
the governors office. He was large
powerful fellow, with the rough manners
of his class.
"'The Governor looked at the steam
boat man and seemed strangely affected
He scrutinized him closely. Finally he
signed the document that restored him to
liberty, but before he handed it to him.
he said You will commit some other
crime and be in the penitentiary again, |
fear. The man solemnly promised that
he would not. The Governor looked
doubtful, mused few moments, and
said:
"'You will go back on the river and be
q lIldlS dSdlll, suppose!
The man replied that he would.
"'Well, | want you to promise me one
thing, resumed the Governor. 4 want
you to pledge your word that you will
never take billet of wood in your hand
and drive a sick boy out of bunk to
help you load your boat on a stormy
night.
THE steamboat man said that he
would not and he inquired what the Gov
crnor meant by asking him such qucs-
ton.
The Governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become a Governor
and you may want him to pardon you
for a crime. One dark, stormy night
many years ago you stopped your boat
on the Mississippi to take on load OF
wood. There was boy on board who
was working his passage from New Or
leans to ST. Louis, but he was very sick
of fever and was lying in a bunk. You
had plenty of men to do the work, but
you went to that boy with stick of
wood in your hand and drove him, with
blows and curses, out into the wretched
night and KEEP, him toiing like a slave
until the load was completed. | was
chat boy. Here is your pardon. Never
again be guilty of such brutality And
the man, covering and hiding his face,
went out. AS never heard of him again
suppose he took care not to break the
pledge"

wEAvERv1LLE ENTERPR1sE.
Meeting Yesterday Looking to an
Electric Railway.

The citizens of Weaverville and vicinity
held meeting at the office of DR.. !. A.
Reagan IN that place yesterday for the
purpose Of taking steps looking to the
extension of the electric street railway
from this city to that town. DR.. !. A.
Reagan was called to the chair, and
Capt. w. Z. Weaver was appointed sec
retary. After considerable discussion a
committee consisting of W. E. Weaver,
F. p. Roberts and Dr. w. w. Wing was
appointed to confer with the authorities
of the Asheville electric railway and learn
upon what terms the railway can be ex-
tended to Weaverville. The meeting
then adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman. This movement on the part
of our Weavervlle friends displays an
enterprise most commendable, and we
have no doubt the committee will receive
every consideration at the hands of our
street railway authorities.

THE WOES OF JAPAN.
10000 Persons and 5000, 900 of
Property swept Away.

The civilized world was Mortified at the
terrible disaster at Johnstown i'll June
last, and never was worldwide sympathy
more actively aroused. Japan of late
has had similar fearful experience, but
the world takes it as indifferently as il
it were the proper fate for barbarians.
Read the following account of what
happened lately;
"The Hikawaga rose twenty-eight feet
above the ordinary level, and villages
close to the river were flooded, in COnsc-
qucncc of which $50 houses were washed
away, many persons being drowned.
Seventy-eight houses and the Hiwako
police station at Shusan were also car
ried away. Owing to several landslips
which occurred close to the source of the
Hidakagawa a vast number of trees,
some OF which were very large, were up
rooted and swept into the fields, where
several thousands are now lying,
About POO houses of the villages
close to Tomitagawa were swept away
and over 500 persons are reported to
have lost their lives. Another telegram
from Wakayma, dated the Goth, an
nounces that, according to the investiga-
tions made mp to that date, the totalnum
Der of houses carried away in Nishi Mura-
gori was ,O92, while SOB others were
demolished and 40 houses were more or
less damaged, the number oideaths being
500
Other villages suffered much loss by
foods and he number of dead cannot be
accurately determined, but for the PROV
ince of Xii it will not fal! below 10000.
Bloated bodies and wreckage of all dc
scription covered fields for miles around,
and it will be months before survivors
can proceed with the work The loss in
money is roughly estimated at $6,OOO,-
900.

VERMONT LANDS.
Abandoned Farms Which May he.
Bought for Il song.
Springfield Republican

Spt1nSnClu KCpuDllCan.
The Vermont commissioner OF agricul-
ture. A. B. Valentine of Bennington, has
issued 4 statement noting more in detail
the location, characteristics and prices
of the abandoned farming lands for which
settlement is now sought. 1t is hOpe,i
that in this way the attention of individ-
uals of smal! means, searching for com
Portable and independent homes, may be
attracted toward the State in more
definite way. The results presented are
of the greatest interest, and would be
startling, indeed, had they not been in Il
degree discounted by the previous state
mentS of the commissioner.
In the town of Reading, for example,
there are 1000 acres of contiguous farm
ing lands which have been abandoned
and can be bought for from 81 to 81 an
acre. OF this tract onehalI is in farms
OF from 10 to 200 acres, many with
buildings; and the other half is divided
only by tumbling stone walls and marked
by old cellar notes.-the ruins of former
civilization. In Chelsea, the county seat
of Orange county there IL farm of 200
acres that can be bought for 500, build
ings and all. The soil is said to be good
and the grass such that ii has lodged"
for this season. Another farm of 300

WANTED TO MARRY,
But Justice Malone Thought the
woman too White.

Yesterday morning a ginger-cake col
ored negro, calling himself Frank Gam
mon, presented himself at the registers
office and asked for license to wed one
Mary Hill. Register Mackey was not in
the office at .he time, but X. ]. Stokeley,
the obliging deputy, issued the desired
document in due form, upon the state
ment of Cannon that Mary was of the
requisite color under the law. Upon
going before Esquire Malone, however,
that gentleman refused to solemnize the
rites, as the appearance of Mary Hilllead

woman. Cannon not being able to
utilize the document, returned the
license to the registers office. We have
heard OF no steps being taken to punish
the parties for their attempted violation
of the law.
