Efe Taken.
RACINE, Wis, Aug. 18.-Oharles Cole,
colored man who recently came here
from the South appeared on Douglass
avenue yesterday armed with razor, q
big stone aud followed by an ugly bulldog.
He evidently was crazed by liquor. James
Smith was Walking on the west side of
the street, and without any warming, Cole
who was on the east side, started toward
Smith. The dsrky struck Smith with a
stone and knocked him senseless, then
jumped on the PROSTATE man and ham-
mered him with another stone while the
bulldog chewed his legs in frighttul
manner.
Ex-Justiee of the Peace Michael Shields
came along and attempted to assist Smith,
whom the negro WAS numbering. The wild
man turned on Shields, who struck and
smashed cane over his head and he then
ran away and secured a piece of board.
| When Cole had attacked a man named
| Schneider aud ont and bruised b IN about
the head Shields at once proceeded to
pound Cole on the head with the board,
| but 1t had no effect. Joseph MorawitE,
near whose place the row occurred, came
out and the darby struck him with a
rock injuring him internally. Shields,
Schneider and two other men now waded
into the darky and after hard fight
overpowered him aud neld him down till
sn officer arrived. A running fight took
place between the officer and negro and
the officer was knocked down. He used
his club freely and smashed the negro'a
face and nose. By this time the chief Of
police and the city marshal arrived on
the scene and the darby was taken to
Jail where he fought like demon and
made desperate attempt to kill Officer
] Harms with spi.toon.
Smith, the man who was struck and
pounded with rock, is lying in dan.
Rerous condition. Spectators state thai

Mr.. Shields, Smith would have beer

Philadelphia Press editorial.
II it we're not for these two broad facts
She past week would have bsen the
quietest of the year; as it was, it was one
Of the most uneventfui. Wheat pushed
forward 10 cents a tushel in New York
last week, and is now higher in London,
New York and Chicago than the flour
made of it by from 10 to IL cents a
bushel. In the past six weeks, since it
became clear that wheat and corn had
received severe injuries, wheat has risen
sixth and corn fourth in value. Corn
had it's inevitable setback last week, but
rallied ON Saturday nearly to the price at
the opening OF the week. The Topeka
Capital Welcomes high price for short
crop, predicting that the ~ 1000, 900
bushels produced this ysar in Kansas
will bring rs cents bushei. This would
be $54 000, 200, and the crop last year of
$40 600. 900 bushels was only worth
$43, 100000
There is no prospect OF any such ad-
vance in prices. In 15 years corn has
only onoe reached an average of 63 cents
on the farm and SO cents for export. and
this in 1881. 1t il not likely to rise to
these figures this year, because the south
is nearer producing its own corn, having
doubled its corn crop in the last niue
years. Wheat may be raised to very
high figures sor season by speculation.
II Is now above Hour. But this country
can export next year 10000, 900 bushels,
and the net deficit in European crops was
placed last week by an English authority
at 154, co. 900 bushsls. The English de-
fcit proves to be within the merest tribe
the same as last year. 1t is not too much
to say that the surplus In this country
and Canada could meet oil the demands
of England and France.
