FUNDS STILL EASY.
Borrowers Have a Good Opportunity to In
crease Their Lines

The home money market was environed
by about the same conditions yesterday as
at the close of the week. There. was a great
abundance of funds, and only q moderate
borrowing demand. The rate for call loans
was 51z@6 and 6@7 for long dates. Exchanges
were 81 ASS, S55 II and balances $373 134 90. Ex-
change and currency were about even.
In regard to the export of the yellow
metal q New York firm wired: Foreign
houses agree in saying that gold is going to
Europe on private bids and that it is being
boarded there because of feeling of in
security and dread of future contingencies
Some houses think gold is still going to
Russia, and that it is taken from here by
agreement between bankers at Berlin, Paris
and London, on the ground that this country
can spare it best. Germany, France and
England are thought by some not satisfied
that Russia will give up gold later, and they
may be in position to export commodities
next fall, which would still further drain
the resources of Western Europe. The Bank
of British NorthAmerica posts rates at "a S51<
a 80.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy ranging from 21z@s1tf per cent; last loan,

CHICAGO - The wheat trade seems TO
have fallen into Tut. For nearly week
the business has been largely of a local
nature, with no decided tendency of prices
in either direction. Fluctuations have been
narrow, and the close has generally brought
prices around to point near those Of the
day before. The result has been that many

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Johnson's Second Escape From
Death RIddIed With Bird
Shot.

George Park inson, an oysterman, was
arrested this morning by officer Mitchell
and Constable Stinchcom. charged
with shooting John johnson, we'll
known plumber. Johnson, IL is alleged,
approached Parkinson on the street and
after having accused him of talking
about him. followed him to his home on
Water street. Parkinson il is alleged,
discharged a shot gun atJohnson through
window and afterward shot five times
at him with a revolver None of the
latter shots, however. took effect, but the
two discharges from the gun filed his
right side and breast and the muscle OF
his arm with bird shot, and he was re-
moved to his home on Main street suf-
fering the greatest agony. DR. Wells,
who was summoned. says the wounds
are not necessarily dangerous. Parkin-
son told Policeman Mitchell, who arres-
ted him, that the shooting was done in
self defense, and that Johnson had threat
ened him on several occasions. Justice
Basil committed him to jail in default
of 81 900 bail TO await Johnson's injuries.
A CAPITAL representative visited the
jail and after several refusals succeeded
in interviewing Parkinson, who was on
the third floor of the Jail. He said: Il
was standing talking to Mr. John Frank
at his gate when John johnson approach
ed me and said, you of al want
you ] told him to go away did
not want anything TO do with him. |
Immediately started for my home through
Mr.. Franks property followed by John
son, who drew pistol and began fir
ing. ran in my house and securing
my shot gun reached the door and fired

How TO .Elenr a Dos.

The New York Werld furnishes the
following recipe how to rid dog of
fleas
"Get one ounce of larkspur seed, half
an ounce of carbolic acid; pour over it
diluted alcohol TO make pint let II
steep for several days; shake it up, strain
it and rub it on the dog. Always re-
member to shake 1t up, for the carbolic
acid is heavier than the alcohol and it
will sink to the bottom, and the last
dose will burn your hand and the dog,
too, and there will be fine time. The
stuff doesn't stain, and has no bad
odor."
The Baltimore county Journal pub
lsshes the above and remarks;
NOW, we've got better recipe than
the above: Get large knife and grind
1t sharp, strspping 1t upon large piece
of leather about two feet long. Then
take hold of the dogs tail and draw the
knife quickly across the tail Just behind
the dogs ears, bearing heavily upon the
knife. The knife has no smell whatev-
err about 1t, but there will be about the
dog in three or four days The heas
will thus be effectually driven off and
will never return"

Repuhlican Primaries.

The Republican primaries are being
held this afternoon in this county for
delegates to the county convention which
viii nominate county ticket and send
delegates to the State convention which
will assemble at Ocean city next week TO
choose State ticket. The result, OF
course, was not known when the CAPT
TAI went TO press. Much local feel
ing is felt In the election to-day. The
principal contest Is for States Attorney
MIR. Munroe seeking denomination
and Mr.. Daniel X. Randall is his oppon-
emit. There is also involved in the con
test the question OF Craftsmanship of the
Republican county central committee,
which position DR.. Washington G Tuck
has held for several years
In this city, as far as appearances go,
Mr. Randall is likely to succeed. and his
friends are sanguine of his success
throughout the county. If this be SO,
some other Republican will be chosen to
succeed DR.. Tuck,
The Democrats of course take no par
ticular interest in this contest. They
have already nominated and placed in
the field strong ticket, composed of
the best men of the party from the diff
erent districts OF the county and there
is no doubt of their election this fall.

The singular and various senses of
words In the English language are seen
In the following words and their mean
ings:
A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper
is that in which the sleeper sleeps. A
sleeper is that on which the sleeper runs
while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore
while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper,
the sleeper carries the sleeper over the
sleeper under the sleeper until the sleep
er which carries the sleeper jumps the
sleeper by striking the sleeper on the
sleeper, and there is no longer any sleep
er sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.

Almost an epidemic.

There is now prevailing to an alarm
ing extent in this locality an epidemic
that, for want OF mdteria medica desig-
nation, we will call "The Wilt" Almost
every man, woman and child is suffer
Ing from the disease, and its influence is
so apparent, even upon the clothing,
that there is not a paper collar in SER
vice that is not hopelessly down with 1t.
The cause is said to be attributable to
the presence of heat, we believe, and we
heartily sympathize with our "wilted"
acquaintances.
