Went RathIng WITH a lady.

AsBURY PARK, n. j., July 24.-There
was any amount of fun and excitement
on the beach yesterday morning. 1t was
at Bradley's Fourth avenue pavilion.
Bathers were startled by seeing a woman
fully dressed in street clothing rush into
the surf. She made toward a man who
was bathing with a pretty young lady not
far from the shore. She reached him;
then the fun began.
The grabbed the nan about
the shoulders, at the same time shower
ing all sorts of abuse upon him. The
man left his fair companion and came
steadily to the shore, but on the way the
woman hit him repeatedly, and hit hard
and straight. Then she sailed in tooth
and nail and left many marks and cuts
and scratches on the mans face and
arms. On the beach she continued her
attack, screaming wildly in her rage and
reproaching him for neglecting her for
another woman
The man was Charles A. Baker, a
prominent New Yorker, and the woman
was his wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker came
nearly a week ago, accompanied by their
three children. Tuesday morning Mr..
Baker went in bathing with a young lady
whose father owns a cottage here. Mrs.
Baker did not like this She went to
Ocean Grove aud saw Mr.. Bakers father,
who is a prominent minister there. The
Rev. DR.. Baker talked with his son about
the matter. Yesterday morning Mrs,
Baker said she was going to New York to
do some shopping. She started evidently
for the railroad station. She did not
board the cars, however, but went directly
to the beach where her expectations were
soon realized. Mr.. Baker came here with
the young lady and went into the water.
For some time the wife watched in silence
and when her wrath had risen to the
highest notch she started. The friends
of the Bakers soon separated them and
begged them to go back to the hote,l.

New YORK, July 24.-Today a re-
porter interviewed W. Q. Crum, general
manager of the New York bureau of
the National Farmers Alliance and Re-
form Press Association, touching the So
called wheat trust combine among the
farmers. He denied that any such COM
bination had been formed. The slg-
gestion was made" he said, some time
ago that the farmers would do well to
hold their wheat for remunerative prices
in preference to allowing it to fall into tie
hands of INSCRIPTIONS speculatoIs. Upon
this advice, word was sent out through
the bureau of the reform press two
weeks ago. advising the farmers to hold
their wheat. Several sub-alllances in
Illinois met and passed resolutions
to this effect, which we're pub
lished in Alliance papers. there
being no effort to conceal the tact what
ever Crum said the attempt to make
1t appear now as If some traitor bad re
vealed the matter prematurely is in keep
ing with many similar attempts to invest
certain ambitious leaders with an air of
importance far beyond their ability or
worth. Editor Crum, who is a practical
farmer himself and thoroughly posted in
the schemes as narrated, says he does not
believe intelligent farmers will be caught
with such chaff. He is convinced that
certain schemers are trying to work the
Farmers Alliance for all it is worth fGT
selfish and political purposes.
As to the combination among the farm
ers, Crum said: II would be very glad
if the farmers could, by combination,
secure good prices, especially for wheat
The report coming from St. Paul, stating
that 'Ignatius Donnelly was opposed to
the wheat trust among the farmers be
trays the d"emogoguery of the whole plot;
for while championing the cause of the
farmers he is well known as a Knight of
Labor leader IN the West. He is looking
for the presidential nomination in 1892.
He hesitates to urge the wheat combine,
which would affect the price of bread to
those whose suffrages we must have.
While | favor any plan which will con-
tribute honestly to the farmers welfare, |
have doubts OF the efficiency of the policy
if the farmers hold too long upon their
wheat. 1t takes money to move, as well
as to buy wheat. and if held too long aud
the worlds crop turns out larger than
anticipated, a crash is imminent, more
disastrous in its consequences than
dreamed of in the philosophy OF the
most pronounced Alliance doctrine"

Sell Praise.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-The coun-
ellis investigating committee held another
session today. VIM. II. Kemble ard
VIM. L. Elkins, traction railway magnates,
testified that they loaned money to Bards-
lev with which to buy Philadelphia and
Chicago traction shares, aud he closed ont
at a profit. Auditor General McCam-
mant said emphatically hat he never re-
ceived, directly or indirectly. one penny of
the money mentioned in the experts re-
port. He also denied that various sums
credited on the stubs of Bardsley's check
hook to me" were ever received by him.
The advertising business was transacted
through Capt. Grafin, for a number of
years employed in the auditor generals
department, and who died last year. Wit
ness had reason to believe that rebates
we're PAID by papers for the reason, as
Grafin intimated to him, that certain DO
htical debts had to be paid and that they
were settled in this way. He also under
stood that the newspapers that did not
get advertising were taken care of by
those that did get it.
After McCammant lett the room,
Committeeman Etting stated that net
w~ithstanding the auditor generals denial,
it had been his Outings intention to ex-
anime him upon certain documentary evil

from the district attorney that it would be
unwise to make a public disclosure of the
contents of the documents at this time,
he RETAINED.

No REACTION SHOWN
In the Promising Upward Movement
of Iron and Steel.
PRICES MUST SHORTLY ADVANCE,
Unless the Existing Troubles Are Adjusted
Very Soon.
MANUFACTURED IRON IN GOOD DEMAND

The upward movement of iron and steel
noted a week ago has given no signs OF re-
action. Labor troubles seem TO be as far
from adjustment as ever. A large propor-
ton of furnaces which contribute to Pitts
burg markets are now banked up on ac-
count of high-priced coke ard prospects for
resuming operations are at this date rather
dim. Stocks of raw iron are steadily
diminishing, and unless freight rates and labor
troubles in the coke regions are readjusted
prices must advance.
Manufactured iron is still in good demand,
and prices of last week are well maintained
BesSemer iron is firm At higher prices than
ruled a week ago. Blooms and billets are
strong, in sympathy with the upward move
ment of Bessemer As TO steel rails and nails
the situation Is unchanged. At present price,
of nails 1t is difficult to discover any profit TO
the manufacturer Prices i'll carload lots are
quoted at 81 50 per keG. 1t is within the MEM
orv of those not very old when iron nails sold
at s. per keg, and now steel nails are selling at
q little above one-fourth of this figure.
Muck bar iron has weakened in the past
week, and our prices are lowered IN accord
ance with the actual sales. A settlement of
labor troubles in the coke regions. would, with
out doubt. turn the tide toward lower level
in all iron products.
But at this date markets are strong and
tendency of prices is upward.
