Ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, October 17.-Early trading

the the market ruled quiet and steady for
awhile, then became weak with prices
declining 3sc., then rallied rather
sharply, prices gaining &C., ruled easy

Moderate business was reported in
corn. The feeling was easier, though at
times the market ruled comparatively
steady on purchases of the year, Novem-
Der and May, by prominent local spccu-
lators. There was no new outside news
brought to bear on the market The
market opened a shade below the closing
quotations of yesterday changed but lit
tie, and closed Hc.aAc. lower than yes
terday.
A weaker and lower market was noted
for oats, due to receipts exceeding
estimates, and also to the fact that
shorts have covered of late, and longs
wanted to unload and found but few
buyers.
Offerings were free, and prices received
Isaa4c, May being the weakest owing to
the bulk of trading Icing for that month.
Fairly active trade was reported in
pork. Prices irregular, market closing

THE CRONIN CASE.

Brought iii Indictments.
CHICAGO, October 17.-The Tribune
this morning says: EX-Senior Guardian
John F. Beggs has weakened. He has
threatened that unless certain conditions
are complied with, a full and complete
statement of his knowledge of the plot,
which ended in the Cronin killing will be
placed inthe hands of the States attorney.
There was plenty of excitement about
the criminal court building to-day; more
it, in fact, than at any time since the
Jury bribery plot was first laid bare in
all its miserable details. Early in the
morning it b came evident that the ar
rest of Henry l.. Stailenberg, Alexander
Sulhvan'S private secretary, was to be
followed by full grand jury investiga-
ton into the matter.
One of the first witnesses summoned
was Stallenberg He told to the grand
Jury the story he gave States attorney
Longenecker last night, and what caused
50 great a sensation in the circles OF the
prosecution. When he came out, he was
seen by a reporter, and asked il it were
true that he had gone before the grand
Jury willingly to tell ali he knew.
Not by long shot" he replied. He
refused to say anything about what lie
had done in the jury room.
After Stallenberg had been examined,
Henry !. McCardle, also, Clerk i'll Wndcs
& Sulivan's office was taken before the
grand jury. His examination was brlei,
and when he came out of the grand jury
room, he said that he had made no
revelations to that body. because he had
nothing to reveal.
This morning Windcs, OF Windes &
Sullivan, went to the States attorneys
office. bearing Il note from the States
attorney, directing that Windes he per
mitted to see his clerk Stallcnberg. The
latter was not there, having been taken
before the grand jury. Windes was so
informed, but he would not credit the
statement, and began calling StaIcri-
bergs name in the evident belief that his
clerk was concealed somewhere there
abOuts. The man in charge rcmOnstra-
ted, and finally elected the lawyer from
the Office.
The other witnesses before the grand
jury, who were supposed to know some
thing about the Cronin case were Otto
Ericsson, clerk for the groccrv firm OF
Jevne & Co., Jeremiah O'Donnell who is
now under indictment i'll connection with
the jury bribery, and a young man
named Kelly Windes, was also in the
room for few minutes, but whether or
not he gave any testimony it is not
known. 1t is understood that Windes is
preparing to move for writ Of habeas
corpus to secure the release Of Stalen-
berg
The Daily News says that the grand
Jury returned twelve indictments, only
one OF which related to the Cronin case;
and that one is believed to be another
true bill against John Graham.

uouors to GOV. Hill aad Party.

ATLANTA, Ga, October 17.-This was
a day of feasting and reception to Gov
ernor Hill and his party. The Governor
rose early and was entertained by Gov
ernor Gordon at breakfast. At noon he
and the members OF his party were driven
to the capital where a special session of
the legislature had been convened, this
being a special thanksgiving day and lc-
gal holiday. Governor Hill was intro
duced by Governor Gordon. Governor
Hill spoke briefly about the good feeling
between the Northern. and Southern
States.
Roswell p. Flower had good word
for New York as the place for the Worlds
Fair. Chancellor Pierson, eX-ASsistant
Postmaster General Stevenson and Adju-
tant General Porter made short speeches,
after which there was general hand
shaking. At 2 o'clock the CAPITAL City
Club rendered the party a reception. At
+ O'Clock the Irish Americans gave Cen
Cral Collins banquet. Governor Hill
and Governor Gordon and all the visitors
were there. A feature of the banquet
was the frequent allusion to Governor
Hill as the right man tor the Democratic
nomination for President.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Practices of Inhumanity which
Should be stopped.

ShOulO DC StOppSNs
Cruelty to animals, among whom lives
and moves all creatures appertainirg
to the domestic uses and services of
man, is one of those sins to which
man, dressed in his brief, but, toward
the animal, very absolute authority,
is unfortunately prone. To the beast
he says, at is mine; shall not do what
will with mine own" And he beats
and goads and overloads his horses and
teams, and starves and abuses his cattle,
and i'll treats his dogs, and harshy treats
every dumb, helpless creature around
him until the heart of humanity grows
sick, and weeps at the abuse of power
with no check on it but interest, Or
the Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals. Alas, and alas, Remote
hope for the poor beast, who must en-
dure present misery without the human
solace of future rcCompcnsc.
But there is one form of ofcruclty to ami
mails for the suppression OF which some
other appeal than to the dulled temper
Of humanity may be made. 1t is the APP
peal to interest, to appetite or to epicur-
ism. Everyone who buys fowls buys
them with the expectation that they are
sound and healthy, and with sort OF
sentimental hope that they have been
we'll and kindly treated, which OF course
assures the conditions of SoundncsS and
health. Now, we are informed by gen
tleman who, besides being very good
liver, choice i'll what he buys and eats,
has a humane and tender heart, and
would grieve to know that what he buys
to kill had been subjected to needless pre-
liminary suffering. He tells us he has
been witness to the barbarous treat
ment of the thousands of fowls brought
here on the trains, crammcd in coops.
They are tumbed out of the cars like
dead matter, piled up like empty boxes,
pitched about neck and crop as insensate
things, denied food and water, and, until
called for, are piled away in dark unven-
tilated rooms. This being the case the
ultimate consumer has had prepared for
him no dainty morscl.
But this matter ought to be looked
after and corrected. Thoughtless, not
to say brutal, handling should not be
permitted even to the poor fowls who
to-day are, and tomorrow are not, but
who are entitled, like all Gods creatures,
to some of that kind treatment to which
man made himself responsible when all
living creatures were put under subjcc-
tiOn to him.

On Trial for Murder.

DUBLIN, October 17.-The trial Of
Father McFadden and other persons
charged with having participated in the
murder of police inspector Martin at
Gwadora, in February last, began at
marlborough to-day. The counsel for
the Crown and for the prisoners al
ternately objected to certain of the men
called as jurors. There was much eX-
citement in the courtroom. Several of
the panel protested in an excited manner
against the objections advanced by the
counsel for the Crown, whereupon the
court adjourned for the day.

The first ripple Of the coming golden
stream of Florida oranges soon to flood
the whU, land broke upon us very
gently yesterday when Mr.. Barker in his
richly filled fruit stand received the first
instalment. The new comers are small,

but they are sweet as the typical Florida
oranges always are; and their big broth
ers will soon be elbowing their way into

a delegation from Pennsylvania COM
posed of Messrs. w. A. Cash, attorney
for the county. Capt. Lem Brooks, chair
man of the board of county commission
crs, Mr. Bell, clerk of the Superior court,
visited our city yesterday, with view of
investigating the affairs and prObablli-
ties Of the A. a. and b. railroad com
mencing work on their line. The whole
matter was thoroughly looked into by
these gentlemen, and they found the stu
alton and condition of the same entirely
satisfactory. They carried away with
them copy of the contract entered into
by the railroad company and the con-
struction company in order that they
might inform correctly their people in
regard to the provisions and require
ments of the same.
The officers of this road were exceed
ingly glad to see these gentlemen, as
they will be to see delegations from
other sections, in order that they may
have an opportunity OF showing that
they are acting upon a solid basis.
1t is confidently expected that the sur
vey will commence in both directions
from Asheville on Monday next. The
matter is well worthy OF the confidence
and hearty cooperation of the people OF
every section through which this line
passes, for the reason that we pay moth
ing in the way of county bonds or 9th
erwIse until the road is built and the
cars running on the same. 1t reflects
with great credit on some of our citizens
that they have had the push to develop
an enterprise which shalltend toimprove
and enrich this county so much.

A STRANGE IDEA OF FUN.
squire Chambers Knows How to
Deal With the Boys.

A friend from Reems Creek writes us
that party of young men under the in
huence of whiskey, visited that peaceful
neighborhood on Sunday last, thinkingit
suitable place to have out the fun
which they had bought i'll Asheville.
They were not so well acquainted with
Reems Greek as we are. 1t is the last
place we would select to go on bust,
because there lives there certain magis-
trate, John Gregg Chambers, who does
not know enough about new fashioned
law to saw a man is innocent, whom he
knows to be guilty. Into Squire Cham
bers hands these mrthtul youths fell,
and, after some heroic treatment, they
left Reems Creek wiser we hope, certainly
poorer, because the county school funds
were enriched over $50 at their expense.
Buncombe has many such magistrates
as 'Suuire Chambers, and we wish she
had MANY more, and also that our boys
would get better idea of what is fun.
Where is the amusement, young gents, in
losing $50 dollars these hard times, to
say nothing of the tremendous headache
of next day? Would it not have been
better fun to have enjoyed thegymnasium
of the Y. Nj. c. A.? We think it would
have been more healthful and surely very
much cheaper. Try it once boys, and see
il you do not agree with us.
