WANT MONTANA WOOL.
Manufacturers Think it the Best Rai-sd
West of the Mississippi

Manufacturers Think It the Best Raised
West of the Mississippi
From Messrs. Fenno Bros. & Guilds
Of Boston, the Helena Journal has re-
ceived the following very favorable ac-
count of the standing Of Montana
wool In that market:
"Uur market continues steady and
shows no signs Of any alteration in
the near future. 1t is almost entirely
bare of desirable Montana wool, and
our feeling is that the early shipment
Of desirable clips will come at IS favor
able time ~ we shall see all through
the season.
Manufacturers in this neighbor-
hood view Montana woods with espe-
cial favor, and prefer them to those
seLt from any other section west Of the
Mississippi river. They find that they
are sounder In staple and make =
brighter colored secured wool than al
most any other domestic wool. The
consequence is tnst We have q good
many customers now waiting for tho
fret arrivals of the new clip, and We
hope that you and others of our friends
whom we have had the pleasure OF
serving here In the past years Will
forward your wool as soon ~ possible
after shearing 90 as to take advantage
of the present needs of manufacturers
"Our opinion is that this season
will probably prove 20 be very favor
able for shippers Of wool 20 the eastern
markets, owing to the fact that those
who bought last year in the country
as q rule lost some money, and they
have expressed firm determination
this season to buy at q price 80 low as
to enable them 10 recover In a measure
that which they lost last year. We
can see no probability of any rice in
values during the summer, although
If manufacturers place their goods to
better advantage than they now expect
we may see q slight upward turn, but
our impressions IRE that sales made
whenever sppreciative customers pre-
sent themselves will prove TO be as
good as any that will be realized by
holding longer.
"Under the circumstances we can
advise prompt shipments, and, as We
have said before hope the wool will
soon be coming along. Please write
US fully what the prospects are Of the
clip in your neighborhOOd and what
proportion will probably be shipped
east.
# may be confidently sssetred that
the Montana clip will be the largest
the state has ever produced and that
the quality will be Of the usual excel
lence. The bulk Of it will be shipped
a. usual, to eastern markets.

Good Democrats Elected and n New Con-
stitutiOn Adopted
LOUISVILLE, KY. Aug. 3.With quiet
election, Kentucky to-day elected state
ticket, adopted u constitution and chose q
legislature. The state officers elected are
Governor, John Brown, of Henderson; lieu
tenant governor, M. G. Afford, of Lexing-
ton; attorney w. j. Hendrick, of Flemings-
burg. The other offices filled are: Auditor,
treasurer, superintendent of public instruc-
tioh, register of the land office and clerk of
the court appeals. All are democrats
and go in by mniorities ranging from
10000 to 10000. The republican
party has not had in Atwood, of Mt. Stsrl-
ing. 10 aggressive and popular candidate
as bradley was four years ago. and the dem
ocratic majority will probably show an in
crease. Returns are now in. however, from
only fifty out of 1l9 counties and returns
are not full from these. The new ccnstitu-
tion has carried and the majority for it is
placed at anything from 10000 to 100000.
The heavy majority for it is great
included some of the best known and ablest
public men in the state, including Senator
Carlisle and Gov. Buckner. The peoples
party has polled about 10000 votes. These
have come mostly from the republican
party. While the alliance was supposed to
oe oach oi tho peopleB y pHrty IL las uone
very little for it on account of dissensions
which arose last January and which caused
the retirement from the alliance of Presi-
dent s. B. Erwin, peoples party candidate.
The alliance has devoted itself to the
legislature and probably has practical con-
troll of that body, and 80 will control the
revision of laws under the new constitution.
In only few instances has the alliance put
out candidates in opposition to democratic
nominations. SO while the legislature will
be nominally democratic it will have strong
alliance affiliations and tendencies. The
prohibition party had full ticket IN the
field, but have poiled very light vote.

Disastrous Fire in the Heart of Chicago
Heavy Losers.

Disastrous Fire In the Heart OF Chicago
Heavy losers.
CHICAGO Aug. 3.-Fire involving the esti-
mated loss of at least $l,000,000 broke out
at 1880 this morning, in the large retail
dry goods and notions store of Siegel,
Cooper & Co. The blaze started on the first
floor and spread through the infam-
able stock with the great,et rapidity,
the entire building soon being a mass
of flames and every available piece of fire
apparatus was called to the scene. ANY at
tempt to save the building was considered
hopeless. and the fire department devoted
its efforts toward preventing the flames from
Spreading to the adjoining buildings.
About $500 employees were in the
building at the time. but all of
them. so far as known, managed to
escape uninjured. except ono cash
to come down the fire escape bat fell re-
watchmen in the building who have not yet
been accounted for. The building was en-
tirely Quilted. The firm carried stock
valued at $50o,00 but the loss is believed
to have been fully covered by insurance.
The losses are as follows: Sie9el, Cooper
d Co., $500,000 on stock and $4,000 on
building; insurance. s500,000; the Leader.
Demberg, Gluck II Horner, loss bv smoke
aud water. S100,000; insured; James II.
Walker, dry goods, loss by smoke and
water, $4,000; q. Hennecke q Co., crock
erv and bric-a-brac, $4,000; insurance,
S33,0O0. Losses to othor adjoining build
inps and stocks amount to about $50 900,
mostly insured.

An Important Ruling.

Chairman Finley. of the Western Pas
senger association, has just decided Il COM
plant of the Wisconsin Central road
against the Chicago, st. Paul Il Kansas
City. in which the latter was accused of a
violation of its agreement 1t appears that
on March ~ the Chicago, st. Paul n Kan
sas City sold Il second-class ticket. limited
to March 2S from Chicago to Portland. via
st. Paul and the Northern Pacific road, and
that the passengers baggage was checked
only to Spokane Falls. 1t was charged that
through tickets were thus being issued &c
persons whose destination was some inter-
mediate point, III order that the passengers
might save something ont of the regular
fare by selling the remaining portion of
the ticket. The chairman ruled, however,
that no violation WAS shown, as stop over
privileges were not specifically prohibited
by the agreement at the tiiae the ticket in
question was used. A similar charge made
by the Atohison, Topeka IL Santa Fe against
the II ok Island was decided in favor of
the defendant.

campment. Lieut.. Gov. Majors where
abouts are not known. He is not in Lin
coin and is supposed to be in Detroit also
or out of the state at least. Under the con-

ia Il strong alliance man, slipped down to
Lincoln this afternoon and announced his
intention of ascertaining whether Majors
was in the state, If he found he was not he
said he would assume the duties of governor
and run things until Majors or Thayer
turned up. He said he would probably call
special session of tho legislature to pass "

at Lincoln are panic stricken and the wires
are kept hot calling on Thayer and Majors

He Fails for Large Sum Nature of His
Business
New York. Aug. 3.-Abraham Backcr,
dealer in commercial paper, at 285 Broad
way, made An assignment to-day, without
preference, to Benjamin Einstein. of Town
send, Dick q Einstein, LAWYERS. Backer
was heavy dealer in commercial paper and
also the capitalist of the firm of A. Backer
d Co.. dry gools commission merchants at
2S5 Broadway. He also manufactured
goods at Glastonbury, Conn.,, where he has
hne mill. His assignment, it is snid,
does not affect tho trm, although he was
the principal partner and capitalist.
Backer's principal business was dealing in
commercial paper. His large connections
handle great deal of commercial paper,
either 40 broker or purchaser. He was very
popular in financial and mercantile circles
and had confidence of banks and bankers
in this city. The assignment, it is said, is
principally due to the condition of the
money market. which made 1T very difficult
for hin, to float the quantity of comm ercial
paper which he generally handled, and
also to the decline in certain south
EN- railroad bonds of which he was large
holder. His contingent liabilities are
mainly endorsements on commercial pa
pers discounted by banks. His liabilities
are principally to banks in this city and
some elsewhere to individuals. It is gen.
orally understood Backer will not be called
upon to pay full amount Of liabilities, as
over one-third are notes which he had en-
dorsed, but which will be taken care of by
the makers. The assets, if properly taken
care of, will, it is said, more than cover
the liabilities and all creditors will proba-
bly, be eventually paid in full.

it has been decided to move the headquar-
ters of the company from Mobile Ala, to
Chicago, which is to be maze the cent al

that this will revolutionize the di tri-

possibilities to the United States and
to the world, in fact.' said the doctor, "are
enormous enough to seem almost visionary.
Within year after the lines are established
the United States will have as much carry

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 3.-Major Hurst, of
the state live stock commission, has pre-
pared statement, in summarizing which
he says: II think it is a conservative esti-
mate to say the people of Kansas will sell
within the next year $100.00O,000 worth of
stock and farm products raised this year.
l mean that this much Kansas grain and
stock will go outside of the state. besides
what we use ourselves. The total corn
crop will not be less than 250000,O0O bush
els. There a7e fewer hogs in the sttae this
year, and for that reason the great bulk of
our corn must go to eastern markets. There
are about 100000 head of cattle in the
state in good condition and worth fully
60,000,000. The cattle which will be
shipped from Kansas this year will be bet
ter fed and larger than usual"

the scheme has never been equalled by des-
perate speculato!s in this or any other
country. band of $50 men, armed with
rifles and revovers. slyly approached the
buildings and attempted to surprise tho
guards, it being their intention to force
their way into the barracks. Sentries dis
covered the approach of the men, whom
they ordered to halt. The men made rush
upon the sentrles, trusting in the confusion
which would follow that they could force
their way into the barracks. As they ran
towards the sentries they delivered volev
from their weapons and some guards fell
to the ground wounded. Other sentries,
however, answered the volley with a fusi-
lade from their rifles. For short time a
regular battle was fought and number on
both sides wounded. In the meantime Off
GERS stationed at the barracks summoned
the troops to arms, and in a very short time
the attacking party was surrounded. Re-
sistance was useless and the whole party
was placed under arrest. They will be tried
by court martial, and the chances are they
will all be shot.
