FORTUNE FOR A LUNATIC.
Crazy Ward Falls Heir to mn Estate In
New Orleans,

OruZy "uro Cais Eeir 10 bu 1atate ID
New Orleans,
ST. LOUIS, August 9.-"Crazy" Ward,
one of the most picturesque characters in
this city, has fallen heir to an estate in New
Orleans said tn be worth 100000. Ward,
whose real name is Frank Worth, has been
a harmless lunatic for IA years, and is
known to every gamln, policeman and fire.
man in town. His great hobby is to run to
fires and make great noise, and he labors
under the impression he is performing valu-
able service to the department. He is
fond of dilat:ng with great minute
ness how he saved Kate Claxton at the
Southern Hotel fire in 1S76-a pure
fiction. He has met with innumerable &C.
cidents at fires, but seems to have had a
lunatic's proverbial luck. Once in a while
he runs amuck through the streets of the
city and then requires the attention of a
goodly portion Of the police force. He fell
from ladder while fireman in New Or
leans and sustained injuries which rendered
him mentally incompetent.
A Jew wears ago his brother Joseph and
brother-in-law A. NJ. Roder died in New
Orleans and left Ward the bulk of their es-
tates. Representatives OF the executor called
on Ward about four years ago and friends
tried to straighten matters out so Ward
could get his share of the estate, but he
would not consent to anything, nor would
he sign papers. Another effort has been
made recently to settle the estate and divide
it, and the possibilities are that this will be
done with Wards signature or consent.

A Students Peculiar Fascination for the
Canine Causes His suicide.
ADMISSION, ALA, August 9.-About the
middle of June Robert Edwards disappeared
from home, and grave fears were entertained
that he had either committed suicide or had
been killed. Vigilant but fruitless search
was made for him. He had just returned
from the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege at Auburn, Ala, where he made very
poor mark on account of his peculiar devo-
tion to pet Cog. When he came home his
dog was locked up for a day or two. He be-
came very respondent and refused all food
until the dog was restored to him. As soon
as this was done Edwards took his gun and
disappeared.
Last night two young men while hunting
on the mountain two miles southwest of the
city ran across a human skeleton and that
of dog. The mans left arm was clasped
around the dogs neck. A bullet hole was
found in the boys and dogs head. 1t was
Edwards and his dog, which he had killed
and then himself Robert Edwards was the
son of Ogden E. Edwards, manager of the
Admission Street Railway Company. and a
prominent man in Admission financial circles,
he came to Admission about two years ago
from New York City. 1t is rumored that
there was also love affair connected with
Roberts self-destruction.

cHICAoO-Wheat-Trad was active on
speculative account and the market excited,
accompanied with very sharp advance in
prices, varying from sssSc to nc on the various

caused the principal bulge and to-day's excite
ment, was the rumors of frost in the far North
west and also in the northern part Of Dakota.
Some reports claimed damaging frosts, others
very light and not enough to harm. Some par
ties were quite skeptical about these reports
and thought they might have been sent in to
influence the market. Nevertheless the mar
ket was in such condition to be easily infiu-
enced and the feelisg was strong.
The signal service reported the thermometer

greatly alarmed and covered freely. The mar

A Gain Of Nearly Three Cents and Every

Several influences operated during the week
to give tone and activity to oil, chief of which
was a bullish pipe line report. Others were ad-
vances in refined. increased consumption and
discouraging reports from many fields The re-
port shows decrease in certificates of 6O4, ,372,
an increase in credit balances of 379, ,S0l, a de.
crease in gross stocks of 2S4, 1874 and decrease
in net stocks of 225,071.

The Meeting Stormy One-The Sett1e-
 The New League Insists on Representa-
 tiOn or Will Continue the Fight Next
 Year.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-As predicted, the conference between the National and Players League and the American Association has fallen through, at least for the present. The Players League conference committee made a demand that the players be represented in the conference. They persisted in their demand, and as 8 consequence the con- ference has not been held and the settlement of the baseball trouble is as far off as ever.
 The representatives of the three leagues met together at l2:30. There were present, representing the National League, A. 6. Spaulding, of Chicago; John B. Day, of New York, and Charles H. Byrne, of Brooklyn. The represen- tatives of the American Association were Allen Thurman, of Columbus; Chris Won der Ahe, of, St. Louis, and W. Barnie, of Baltimore. The Players League representatives were Al. John son, of Cleveland; Wendell Goodwin, of Brooklyn. and E. B. Talcott, of New York; and of the players there were John NJ. Ward, of Brooklyn; Arthur Irwin, of Boston, and Ed. Hanlon, of Pittsburg.
 The meeting between the magnates and players was a stormy one but they all survived to fight on another day Allen Thurman was in the chair. In looking about over his committee he spied the three players, whose presence was destined to block all the proceed ings which might have been taken for the salvation of the baseball cause.
 MT. Thurman declined to call the conference to order until the three players had left the room. The three players retired and the conference was called together. The communication from the Players League was then read by the chairman. It stated that three additional members had been selected to look out for the interests of of the Players League, and asked that they be admitted to the conference.
 Mir. Johnson moved that the new members be accepted, but this motion was defeated on Q vote of to 3, the National League and Association men voting against it.
 The three representatives of t he Players League then withdrew from the conference and joined the three ex- cluded players. They were quite em- conference was at ap, end for they would not confer unless the players were given hearing.
 The conference then adjourned sub- ject to the call of the President.
 John Ward says the Brotherhood is prepared to fight next year if fair play is not accorded the members.

 LONDON, Oct. 23.-In the Parliament ary election which took place in the Eccles division of Southeast Lam cashire, MT. Roby, the ladstonian candidate, was returned by @ vote of 4,901 to 4,696 for Mir. EgertOn, Conssrv' ative.
 The result is considerable of @ sur prise. While the Liberals had hopes of success they were not sanguine. The district has been for many years con- sidered Q Conservative stronghold. MT. Egerton, the Tory-Unionist candidate. declined to make any promises or pledges on either the temperance or the labor issues, but personally was very popular, his family being largely interested in the mines at Walkden, and always looked to with esteem and affection as employers of the better class, having granted to the people many privileges not enjoyed by miners elsewhere.
 Nevertheless, the miners have voted to support the Liberal nominee, MT. Roby, who has the hearty indorsement of Mr. Gladstone, and has fought the battle largely on the issue of Irish home rule or English misrule.
