The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-10-08

Saturday last on the body Of Lydia
Miller, of Mantona, which was her
stage name, chorus girl of the Gal
ETY. theatre who recently committed
suicide by drinking half pint of car
bolic acid. At the inquest on Satur-
day, it will be remembered Lord
Charles Montague, brother of the
Duke of Manchester, testi-
fled to having been on
very intimate terms with
keeping an appointment to lunch
with her on the day of her death.
The failure to keep an appointment,
probably, is said to have greatly an
noyed the chorus girl. Since the in
quest mysterious illusions have been
made in the newspapers to certain
high parsonage, understood to be
Prince Albert Victor, the eldest son
Of the Prince of Wales, who is also
said to have had intimate relations
with the dead girl. AS in the case of
the death of the Duke of Bedford, who
shot himself IN fit of temporary
insanity on January 18th, and whose
death for q considerable period after
wards was said to be due to natural
causes, attempts have been made by
the coroner who is the official who
asked in the case of the suicide ofthe
Duke of Bedford, to hush up the real
facts in connection with tine death of
the Gaiety girl, whose portrait has
been displayed among those of the
fashionable beauties of the day. This
anxiety to conceal the facts in the case
is said to be on account of the dead
actress noble and royal protectors,
but is only serving to attract further
attention to the case. The coroner to-
day still refuses access to the deposit
lions taken, and it is openly stated
that the members of the coroner,s
jury were called upon to sign a blank
paper instead of the usual record of
proceedings. The Star today, COM
menting upon the affair, says that the
truth as to the mystery will never be
known, and that it is obvious that an
other inquest has been hushed up
without good cause.
REVIEW OF THE GRAIN TRADE.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-The Mark Lane
Express, in it's weekly review of the
British grain trade, says the past
week has been a rapid clearing of
fields, but the harvesting has been
protracted and expensive without an
abundant yield to compensate for the
loss thus incurred. The forced sales
in certain districts, tended to depress
the price. In London, the average
price is 36's I'd. Foreign wheats are
American red winter on
spot declined Sd, and November and
December delivery declined Cd; Cali
fornia is I'd lower. Prices in India,
Russia and Australia are well sus-
tanned. Oats are Cd higher.
Mailing barley is firm. Corn and
grinding barley is each Cd lower.
American oats will be the feature of
the winters trade. Their present
value is from us I'd to 19s Cd. Rye has
declined Cd in Germany, but is mn
changed here. Beans and linseed
meet with better sale. AT today's
market the price of English wheat
averaged 37s. The heavy importa-
tions of American and Russian wheat
rise in foreign wheats.
Flour was firm. Corn was firmer.
Beans and peas were unchanged.
ENGLISH WOOL SALES.

day 9.579 bales, consisting largely of
New South Wales clips of an rverage
