A Railroad Contractor Borrows and
Blows In Money Obtained
on Forged Papers.
On warrant issued by Justice
Heron, Detective Hennesy yesterday
arrested ]. l.. Fluellen, D railway con-
tractor. The arrest was made at the
instigation of Harry Guerinsky, OF the
Silver King, to whom he had given q
forged check on the Texas National
bank for $50 and and a promisory note
from the 5. A. p. railroad, signed by
G. s. Wheeling, rs q security on loan
of $40 in cash and $40 in COOK check.
The forged note given to Guerinsky
amounted to $3.50. Guerinsky was
told that the check and note were
of no value and he found this
to be true when he presented
the check, given byFluellen, for pay
ment. Mr.. Wheeling also denied
the genuineness of the promisory
note. Upon this sad realization Of
being duped, Guerinsky made the
affidavit against J. l.. Fluellen, that
has handed him in the county Jail.
Fluellen, it is said, also forged the
name of G.. s. Wheeling to q check
for 500 he gave to st. Leonard hotel
management as security on loan of a
few dollars in cash. When the check
was presented at Thornton, Wright
& Co.'S bank for payment last Satur-
day, they denied that the signature
was genuine. Mr.. Wheeling also
knew nothing about the check.
Fluellen, however, Is said to have
refunded the money borrowed Oh that
check.
Justice Heron put the man under
a $500 bond, In default of which
he went to Jail.

SLUMP IN CORN.
Pussy Wants a Corner, But Got
Scared Out of 1t.
It Drops TWO or Three Cents and
Gamblers Wild to OnlOad-This
Brought Down Whsat-Old Hutoh's
Ghost Walks I'm the Grain Pits.

CHICAGO, Ill, September 1.-THE ssnsa-
ton Of the board Of trade was the slump in
corn. During the early part of the session
the market was weak, but the decline was
not of much Importance until the last hour,
when the bottom suddenly went out on a
rumor that the clique was beginning to IN
load Then there was a wild rush to sell,
and September, which sold early at 6es<
cents. went down with rush to e211 cents,
and October, which touched 50 cents early in
the day, broke to sos cents.
The steady decline in the wheat pit, where
December fell from SO to $50 cents. gradu-
ally developed the decentralization in corn.
Some prominent brokers, who are supposed
to act for Hutchinson, soon began to sell
cautiously, but the crowd thought they de-
tecte0 q move, and then there was an abund-
ance of offerings and a frantic struggle to
see who could sell the most. Decentralization
quickly snsued and the drop rapid and severe.
September, which it was supposed the clique
held with firm grip was weaker than any
other future.
Rumored fine weather, big receipts and
encouragement, and the syndicate which
was supposed to be back of the deal concluded
TO lie down.
The sharp drop in corn in New York was 4
symptom of the clique's weakness. With all
the decline ID was remarked that the clique's
brokers and managers did not appear dis
turbed, and 1t was further noticed they did
not sell much corn, leaving that performances
10 the crowd, which sold right and left.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Old corn forms a very great part Of
the shipments which are now burden
ing the cars on Kansas railroads.
At jamestown the immense coal bins,
belonging to the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road company, burned up. Two hun
bred tons of coal were consumed. The
origin of the fire is not known.
Atchison Champion: There is a short
age of cars on the Central Branch al
ready. Orders for $50 cars more than
can be had at present are on file, and it
Is expected that the demand will be
even greater. A great quantity Of grain
is being moved.
Topeka Journal: s. h. McAllister
has in his possession a rather interest
ing check, which he proposes to keep
as a curiosity. In 1875 the Santa Fe
oyercharged him S1.55 for carrying a
package of freight. he filed an appli-
cation for rebate, and either forgot or
neglected it until few days ago. The
rebate was allowed and a check for 81 So
was drawn on the Topeka Bank and
Savings institution and signed by Z.
Wilder, then assistant treasurer of the
road. The chBek bears on its face the
twO-cent stamp required by the old rev.
enue law, and is dated October 1875.
Mr.. Wilder kept it IN his possession for
nearly sixteen years, and only a few
days ago discovered it among some old
papers and sent it to Mr.. McAllister.
This is probably the oldest unpaid
check good for its face value in exist
ence

snnrz-MhIt. Oxen

Have you ever seen the white oxen
of Italy? I do not mean those OF
Southern Italy, where every pair OF
horns is a wonder, where the question
Is not whether the load of hay, but the
horns, can pass through gate. Our
oxen here in Central Italy are prettier
animals-white as snow, large, but
sPiendidly proportional, pretty little
black horns and eyes. Jupiter I have
never seen such eyes beg pardon,
but I may as well say Jupiter" at
once, and have done with it you know
the old story as well as I, and I be-
heve could no more help thinking OF
it than I if you were to see the splendid
Oxen.) Just a little ways outside the
walls of Perugia, down on the hillside
among the olive trees, where we go
walking almost every day, is a little
farmhouse, before the door of which,
tied by his horns to fig tree, We see
very frequently the very beau ideal of
these animals, and have become so
attached to the pretty creature that
we tremble for fear we shall lose him
in the fair.
We looked for him yesterday morn
ing, for L am sure even among his
many thousand snow-white fellows we
should have recognized him at once il
We had seen him. / suppose his poor
master, for whom, perhaps, he is the
only treasure, would like to sell him.
yet 1 cannot help hoping when we go
that way again we shall find him still
tied to the FIG tree. turning upon us

approach Such lashes half as long
as my finger, jet black, and resting,
when he shuts his eyes, on his silky
white cheeks with such effect. could
easily believe that, like a coduettish
beauty, he does it with a purpose.
I do not know how many of these
splendid animals were on the fair
ground yesterday. Two or three days
ago farmer boy, who volunteered to
instruct us concerning the coming
fair, when We asked him how many
oxen we should see there-if many
thousands-answered, with a smile of
pity at our ignorance: ~Oh! more than
that many millionsl"
Well, supposing there was a field as
large as Franklin Square, New York,
covered as thick as they could stand
with snOw-white oxen-every one snow
white-how many oxen would there
be?
think there were more than could
stand on Franklin Square, but I do
not think there were @many millions. .
AfterWard, when We had returned
to the city, we went to the highest
point, called ~PUrta Sole" and look
ing from there down on the white field,
we're reminded of the miracle of snow
which fell once in midsummer IN Rome

afterward built on the spot thus mirae-
ulously indicated.

AntI-Mormon Feeling.

LONDON, September l2.-Public opinion in
Great Britain is at the present moment turn

Revelations Just made show that there are

particularly devoted 20 Yorkshire and Lam
cashire.
Particular attention has been called by the
press to the operations of two young ''Mor-
mon missionaries" who have been operating
in village of Lancashire, and some strange
disclosures as to the PROSECUTING methods
adopted have been made.
The result has been another upheaval of
public Indignation, and it is probable that
another and more determined attempt will
be made to find some means of cutting a
stop to this trans Atlantic traffic in women.
The revelations just made, it should be
added, have brought about thorough venti-
lation and exposure of the methods of the
latter day saints.

BLACK Bread.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., September 12.-Con-
sui General Mason, at Frankfort-on-the-
Maine, has sent here an exhaustive report of
the food crisis in Germany.
He says that the staff of life, to a vast ma
Jority OF the German people, is black bread,
made from rye and inferior wheat mixed.
Five-sixths of the gross supply of these
grains has come from Russia and is now shut
of by the Russian edict against exporting
rye. Soon after that edict rye advanced in
price in Germany from S35 to $61.88 per
gross ton of 200 pounds, and, Mr.. Mason
adds, the end is not yet. AS other sources of
supply on that side of the Atlantic are short
and would be but small percentage of the
needed amount even with full crops, the
United States must supply the deficiency.
Add to this the inferior quality of the potato
crop throughout Germany. the result of
late spring, cold, wet and cloudy summer,
and the question of food supply is serious
indeed

Labor versus Royalty.

LONDON, September 1.-The refusal of the
trades congress committee to propose toast
that would include the Prince of Wales is re-
larded here as an echo of the widespread
non-conformist sentiment which has set a
mark of condemnation on the social life of
the prince.
The discussion IN the committee of arrange
ments Is salo to have been very pointed, and
took in the whole range of the royal brood
of Queen Victoria. One delegate asserted
that the family of the queen. apart from her
self, had no claim whatever on the country,
and that it was an outrage that the people
should be expected to contribute to their
support. The long list of royal descendants
was canyassed in vain for name that the
Workingmen could consistently honor by
special mention at their banquet but not
one could be found worthy, on his own
count, of any such testimonial. The baeca-
rat trial was gone over. and altogether 1t was
q discussion to make the ears of royalty tin
gle. The conclusion was reached that none
should be honored but the queen.

failure of the harvest and the consequent suf-

cases of canabalism have been reported, there
have been several cases of mysterious disap-
pearance that are attributed to suspected
cannibalism, and in Bessarabia the police are
carefully watching for evidence against per-
sons under suspicion. Many suicides are
stated TO have occurred among the peaERntry,
who, owing to a strong religious feeling, have
been. as a rule, slow to commit the act. There
the prospect for them this winter is too ter
rible to contemplate:

There is nov great uneasiness and opera

Whether the miners will attack the con-
Victs or not remains to be seen, but there Is
great uneasiness in the entire district, and
gentlemen who ls thoroughly posted upon
the situation says the public need not be sur
prised if every convict in the district is re-
leased within twenty-four hours. The con-
victs in the Oliver Springs district will also
be released. The programme this time is
not to guard the convicts to Knoxville or any
other place and surrender them to the author
tiles. but to turn them free in the mountains
and run them out of the state into kentucky.
