Leads to a Quarrel and the Police Have to
be Called In.
ST. LOUIS. September 12.-Quite furry
of excitement was oecasioned in the coat
room of the Merchants Exchange to-day on
account of quarrel In which several mer-
chants became engaged, prominent among
whom was Moses Fraley, an operator
on this market. 1t seems that in
jest the son of Mr.. Fraley offered to sell
400, 600 bushels of wheat to a man named
Schrimer. A Mr.. Puff, who has had a
grudge against Fraley for some time, offered
to take it off his (Schrimer's) hands. Mr..
Fraley explained to Puff that the offer was
made only in jest, but Puff would not re-
gard it in that light. Words led to anger
and anger to blows
Mr.. Fralev hit Puff in the face, and that
was the signal for general ineipient fight,
in which about ten merchants became en-
gagged. Finally the police were called in
and quelled the disturbance. No arrests
were made.

MIzNER's REPORT WANTED.
The State Department Anxious to Hear the
Minister'S story.


Minister'S story.
WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE
State Department is awaiting with consider
able interest the arrival of the dis
patches from Minister Miner,
giving an official and authoritative
statement of the Barrundia affair, SO
far as the connection of this Government is
concerned. The department has no official
information as to what fork the advice of
Minister MiZner to the captain of the
Acapulco took, but it hardly credits the
statement of the eye witness that it took the
shape OF an ''order of arrest, !" which, in this
country, is generally supposed to be
judicial warrant. 1t is pointed out that the
purport, even of this "order of arrest" as
it is STYLED, is not given, and that the witness
does not say he saw it.
The official statement of Minister MiZner
giving the circumstances and facts of this
Governments connection with the affair
necessary to form a deliberate judgment
upon the cause, is expected at almost any
time in the near future.

ance. has so far cast majority of votes of
the convention. The first ballot was taken,
giving Cox 76, Whitthorne 60; necessary to

81, 100. This evening prominent Alliance
man said:
''It is now Cox or nobody, as his support
ers have decided to stand by him to the end.
In case General Whitthorne's friends do not
yield within a reasonable length of time, the
nomination will be relegated to the people
and they will be authorized to nominate
directly at the primaries by voting for their
candidates themselves without the formal

NEW YORK, July 11.-Among the pas
sengers on the steamship Old Dominion, of
the Old Dominion Line, which arrived at
her pier shortly before o'clock this MORN
ing, were Mr.. and Mrs. A. Jaeger, who were
married on the boat just before leaving
Richmond under romantic circumstances.
Mr.. Jaeger, who lives in this city, had made
arrangements to meet his BRIDE in Richmond
Tuesday afternoon, she coming from Cincin-
natl. They were to be married during the
afternoon at the home of friend in Rich
mond and take the boat for New York at 8
o'clock. When Mr.. Jaeger went to the
depot Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
he learned that the train was two hours late,
which rendered it impossible to hold the
wedding at the intended place and still catch
the boat
He thereupon made arrangements to have
q clergyman in waiting at the pier, and the
party from the railroad station reached the
steamship just In time for the ceremony to be
performed before the vessel sailed. The
young couple were married in the Office Of
Captain Couch, who gave them his blessing
and detained the boat just long enough for
the minister TO get ashore again.
