A Temperance Hotel, woman's HosteIry.
Columbus Portrait and a Viking Ship.
CHICAGO, April 30.-when the members
of the various church denominations come
to Chicago to attend the Worlds Columbian
Exposition they will not be compelled to
associate with the common herd of worldly
pleasure-seekers. James b. Hobbs, Edwin
D. Wheelock and other prominent church
members have made arrangements for an
immense hotel, capable of accommodating
several thousand persons, on the lake shore
about a quarter of mile south of the
grounds The cost will be 81, 900, 900.
A portrait of Columbus, said to have been
painted from life, is to be brought to the
W orld's Fair by W. Harrison Bradley, the
United States Consul at Nice. The portrait
was made by order of the King and Queen
of CASTLE, or by King Ferdinand himself
A company has been formed at Christiana,
Norway, to reproduce as seaworthy vessel,
which can be sailed across the ocean, an
exact model of the old Viking boat discoy-
cred some years ago in an ice foe.
The Woman's Dormitory, the mammoth
building which the Woman's Board propose
to erect, in order to supply women of mod
crate means with inexpensive lodgings
while visiting the Exposition, has become
an assured fact.

FORGOT ORDERS AND DIED.

A Columbus Brewer Suffocated In Bin OF
Barley and O lts-Horrible Fate Of .
Man Who Didn't obey the Instructions
of a Brewing Concern.
COLUMBUS, O., April 3d. Special i
John Kraus, brewer in the employ OF the
Hoster Brewing Company, was yesterday
sufocated to death in bin OF barley
and oats. Kraus was employed at night In
the mailing house, working until o'clock
in the morning About o'clock he was
sent up to the top floor of the mailing
house, to sweep out a bin, by Michael
Fieste, the night foreman, who remained
below to spread out the barley and oats
in a large iron vat, where the grain is
soaked.
The hole at the bottom of the bin, the
last one to the west, which is about nine
feet deep and cone-shaped at the bottom,
was opened to allow the grain to How into
the va. After it had been running short
time the grain suddenly stopped, and not
knowing what to think of it the foreman
went upstairs to find out the cause. Then
he discovered that Kraus was missing, and
a search was instituted.
Shortly after o'clock his body was found
in the grain bin, completely covered by the
body stopping up the hole. He was dead
when taken out, suffocated by the grain.
He must have climbed into the bin Just
after the trap door was opened, and the
grain running out rapidly pulled him under
like the swift current of a stream, causing
death in short time. His struggles against
the heavy grain must have been terrible,
but he did not have the strength to get his
head above it into the air.
The orders are that when the men sweep
out the bins they must not get into them
until the grain is all out. Kraus did not
obey this order, and his death was the re-
suit.

Oats firm early in the session and inclined

Appeal OF tho National Federation of
America in the Present Crisis.
The National Federation of America has
issued an appeal to the friends of home rule
for Ireland to send material support for the
campaign now on to Eugene Kelly, Treas
urer, % Cooper Union, New York. A part
of the appeal reads:
The Tory Government, the fmplacable
enemy of Irish people has been driven final
ly TO bay. Advices from the other side point
inevitably to an early dissolution of Parlia-
ment. The general election following imme-
diately will decide the home rule question
for our generation if not forever. The Tory
party have arranged to contest every seat in
Ireland, to impose new burdens on our peo-
pie, knowing their poverty. The heavy
statutory fees must be deposited when
nominations are made. The necessary
funds should be placed in our trensurer's
hands before the dissolution OF Parliament,
in order to be available at once. The hour
for final effort is upon US.

Trading. which was light, was mainly OF a
professional character. Posted clearances
were 10000 barrels. At the close yesterday
the price was Ac lower than the opening on
Monday. This represents the loss for the
week.
Switching the option to juno was the
principal business yesterday. 1t was done
at nc, being easier than for several months.
1t is thought that local traders added but
little, II anything, to their holdings during
the month, but that they sold more than
they bought. At the finish there was moth
ing in sight to influence the market either
way the present week, but the possibility of

A Condemned Murderer Asks for q Private
Interview With the Judge.

CHICAGO, April 30.-George H. Painter
was to-day sentenced to be hanged June %
for the murder OF his sweetheart, Alice A.
Martin. 1t is the first case in Chicago since
the execution of the Anarchists in which
the death penalty has been given.
Painter caused sensation in court by de-
manding a private interview with tho
Judge, saying he was afraid to speak pub
licly. His communication was in regard to
the police and amounted to an accusation
that the evidence against him had been
manufactured.
