A Pathetic Scene on Change,

There never has been a successful 'cor-
ner'' in May corn within anybody's men,
DRY. Numerous attempts in that line have
been made, but each one proved disastrous
fiasco. Hardly nine months ago Deacon"
s. V. White, one of the best known specu-
lators in New York, attempted to break the
May corn record and establish a precedent.
The result is well known; he was himself
caught and crushed instead of crushing
others. as he hoped to do.
Disregarding Whites fate, and the fate Of
all others who have essaYed to do the same
thing, two young operators named
Coster and Martin during the past few days
attempted, In the Chicago exchange to
corner May corn and squeeze a million or
80 of dollars out Of the shorts" They ran
the price up to 81 per bushel and seemed on
the point of accomplishing their purpose
when a sudden change came. From 81 the
price dropped within three minutes to so
cents per bushel, and the daring young
men found themselves paupers instead of
millionaires. They will get little sympathy
from the public; it is doubtful If they de-
serve any. They gambled recklessly in
food products and lost. Possibly they de-
served their misfortune.
A few minutes after the crash came there
was pathetic scene in the exchange build
ing. Mrs. Coster and Mrs. Martin, the
wives Of the young Spectators. were pres
emit to see "the boys clean up million"
They were in high spirits at the opening of
the session. They probably built "castles
in SPAIN" peopled them with liveried vas
sails and laughed gayly as they discussed the
pleasures of wealth. Even after the dis
aster had occurred they continued to laugh
and jest with each other, in ignorance of
the true state of affairs, until friend in
formed them of the change Of fortune which
carried with it their all-not only the an
ticipated profits but every cent the husbands
were worth. From a high pinnacle
of pleasant anticipation they were plunged
at once into poignant grief, and they burst
into tears and fed It was like dropping
| from balloon into coalpit Of greater
depth than the hight from which they had
fallen. Their ecstacy of anticipation was far
less above the level of an evenly balanced
and contented mind than their woe was be-
low it after they learned Of the disaster.
| They are TO be pitied. But theirs is the
usual fate of the wives of men who ''plunge'
in the speculative market Sooner or later
ruin overtakes them.

THAT SPACE RENTAL.

VERY FAT THING FOR THE MAIL
COMPANY.
The railroads value the competition OF the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company very
highly. The space rental of $4,000 which
they pay to the steamship concern is at the
rate OF SCI 80 ton. Now for its general
run of freight the Mail Company does not
receive anything like that amount per ton.
1t would never charge half that SUN if COM
petition were on a normal and legitimate
basis. The highest rates charged by the
Pacific Mail are for its Central America n
service, and the regular schedule of rates
shows figures that run away below S3l 80.
Fifteen 10 twenty dollars is about the rate it
gets on the average shipment.
1t is curious instance OF the way q little
weight will SWING its balanee-this matter
Of the Pacific Mail space rental. 1t does
not really cost the railroad people any
where near $4,000 month TO keep control
of the Pacific Mails competition. The real
cost is about $40, 000,. for the space is worth
to tie railroads whatever the shippers will
pay for it, and when it comes TO adjusting
the subsidy matter the railroad only paws
the steamship company a little over S4S, 600
month, or about 100000 n year. Some
times the space is occupied, sometimes il is
not, 1t IS all the same TO the Pacific Mail.
The Mail Company's agents here claim
they know nothing about any railroad sub
sldy. but the merchants know. Traffic
Manager Leeds knows. He was Chairman
of the Transcontinental Association not so
very long ago. and he is the man who made
the latest contract with the Pacific Mail
Company.
Here are some straws which show how
the wind blows:
A shipper who called at the freight office
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company yes
terday and asked for tariff sheet OF freight
rates 10 stern ports was told that there
was no such thing in existence.
I'VE don't have any regularly printed
rates, said the man behind the desk.
DO you have regular rates?'
''Oh, yes; but they are not given ont to
everybody. What kind OF freight have you?
Where is it? To what point do you want it
shipprd?"
These questions were fred at the mer-
chant all at once in single breath. The
latter gentleman declined 10 be catechised
IN this manner. He reiterated his request
for a freight tariff to Eastern parts, and
being again refused left The Office 10 seek
his information lsewlIere.

SAD DISCOVERY.
A Body Found I'm the Bav Yesterday
Identified Grant .. Coursen.


Identified as Grant q. Coursen.
The body of Grant o. Coursen. native
of this State, q years old and son of
George Coursen oil logo Fulton street. was
found by Dan Murphy, a seaman, floating
in the bay near the Pacific Mail Dock about
ii o'clock yesterday forenoon. The body
was in very advanced stage of decomposi-
ton and had presu mably been In the water
for two or three weeks. The Identification
was made tolerably complete from articles
found in the pockets of the clothing. Oue
contained the constitution and bylaws of
the Coast Seamen's Union, issued TO Grant
D. COurSen, logo Fulton street. A letter
was also found in the coat pocket adore ssed
to Mrs. Walter Reed of 10 North Seven
teenth street. Portland. Oregon. 1t had been
written on February % and addressed and
stamped. TIE date of this letter streng hens
the presumption that the death occurred
about that time or shortly afterward.
The clothing worn by the deceased was
such as TO have styled him well-dresSed,
that is it was comparatively new, OF good
quality and selected with good taste. He
had been member Of the Coast Seamen'S
Union since 1888.
His sister, Mrs. Ellen Coursen Roeckel,
was first Informed Of the discovery, and
going at once to the Morgue. where the
body had been taken. she identified it beyond
doubt. She said her brother was supposed
to have left this city on the ship NanaimO,
for British Columbia, TO be absent four or
five weeks, and the fact that no tidings had
since been received of him gave the family
no concern as TO his welfare.
Last evening the father. George Coursen.
went to the MOrgue, and also identified the
body beyond any possible doubt. He said
If there were no clothing or papers at all
he could have recognized his sou from the
condition of Que ankle. When the young
man was on the Atlantic seabOard some years
ago he had serious fall of several feet and
badly shattered one ankle. From this mark
the recognition WAS complete.
Mr.. C0urSen cannot explain the mysterious
fatality in any other way than that he must
have fallen through the plank roadway into
the bay on bis way to the vessel the night
previous to her sailing. He had already
sent his chest aboard by an expressmau.
and the Presumption Is that he followed
some time later. In falling he must have
struck something and been Knocked sense
less, or else so badly crippled that he could
not help himself.
lie was q young man OF temperate habits
and exemplary character, SO that his dlsap-
pearance cannot be attributed TO any i'm
proper condition on his part. When he did
not appear on the vessel as she was about
to sail his chest was taken back on shore
and carried by seaman TO a house OIL
Howard street, where Mr.. COursen found IL
late last night and took il home.
The deceased was twin brother OF Sher-
man C0ursen, seaman on the Alameda,
now bound for this port and due In few
days. They were born in Sacramento, and
graduates of the public schools of this city.

Western Association offered him contract,

wanted to stay in San Francisco, but
wouldn't 60 up and tell Harris so to his
face. Harris was extremely diffident about
approaching the player, and So the matter
stood for about ten days.
During that time the pair frequently
stood within three feet of each other, but
each appeared to be blssfully unconscious
of the others presence. In the meantime
Harris had been wiring Joe Kelly, the Bos-
ton phenom, and Sutcliffe of National
League fame. He knew he had TO get

would be drawing unfavorable comparisons
