well as a number of their friends; dancing

He Pawns His Sisters Jewel Case ana
Raises the Cry of Burglars.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2-William ].
Schulz, young scapegrace of 10 years, who
lived with his father, a baker, alarmed the
family this morning by shouting that he
had seen two burglars in the house. The
neighborhood was aroused and the police
summoned. Young Schulz pointed out
where the intruders had climbed over shed
roof and entered the room of his sister Ann.
On examination it was found that the lat
ter's jewelry, valued at ST, 900, was missing.
No burglars could be found and the Off
GERS doubted the story. Inquiry at pawn
shops in the vicinity revealed the fact that
Schulz had himself taken the jewels to the
brokers and negotiated loans on them. All
were recovered and the young man was
locked up. He has been literally educated
and has travelled in Europe at his fathers
expense, but recently developed taste for
fast living

Another Letter Coming.

WAsHINGToN, June 1.-Major Dan

friends of the president, and probably
the most constant visitor at the White
House, in Washington or out of it, says !:
Mr.. Blaine viii write another letter.
He will again decline to allow his name
to go before the Minneapolis convention. y
As the major spoke so confidently and
seriously about Mr.. Blaine's intentions,
the reporter remarked that he must
have some reason for making the state
ment. 81 have" he said, ''and I am
certain of it. You may quote me as
saying it, and you can put it down as
certain that the president will be re-
nominated on the first ballot

Indiana CIoudburst.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.-This city and
central Indiana have had few such rains
as fell last night and early this morning
in fact it was a cloudburst. Streets
were filed with water and flowed over
the curbs into yards. The Rogues' Run,
which runs through the city, became a
raging torrent and many people had to
flee for their lives. The electricians
plowed their way through the streets
like steamboats,. The White river and
Falhcreek are on the rampage. Several
of the northern suburbs are reported
under water.

Backers Cause Swirl which Sent the
Price Down to Fifty-Fire Cents
Closing.

CHICAGO, June IA good many failed
to pass the clearing house of the Chi
cago board of trade yesterday, and this is
but the beginning. The May corner in
corn eliminated and collapsed yesterday.
At the opening the clique brokers gave
it out that their principals had decided
to fix the price at 81 per bushel, and
would settle with shorts at that figure.
Many of these, seeing no way out of the
dilemma, paid the price demanded, and
there was heavy trading at that figure.
Mr.. Crittenden was the first victim to
fall into the vortex of a ma@lstrom that
has been swinging the lighter weights
on the edge of the circle swiftly toward
the center. Battling against this merci-
less stream is Ed Pardridge, the plum
ger, way short on May wheat, July
wheat and July corn. Yesterday he
made a desperate effort to cover, went
wild and bought everything that was Of
fered through dozen brokers. Today
it is expected number of other failures
will be announced at the opening of the
board. There were all sorts of wild
statements as to Coster & Martins
liabilities, but it is definitely known,
however, in addition to the capital re-
quired to carry through the deal up,
they needed 81 100000 to take care of
the days receipts and other offerings.
There was rumor that the firm in their
efforts to corner the market ran up
against some such financial whale as
Armour, which caused reaction to 30
cents. There were rumors regarding
the solvency of other firms, but no other
names were posted. In consequence of
the food, late planting, etc, the coming
crop of both wheat and corn viii be
nearly failure. Stocks in store are
being rapidly exhausted by eastward
shipments and the cash article in the
market today is hard to buy at the ad
vanced price. In wheat the strength is
due to its condition on the farm inde-
pendent of the corn market. Consider
ing the freight rates, however, it is
cheaper than it has been before for
years. The situation, while not yet
alarming, is serious enough to make
! lively trading. The harvests will be
three weeks late, and the grain will be
tangled and lodged. TO this condition },
when the hot weather comes, as it will ),
rust and blight will set in. Traders
have belief that wheat will be wheat
next fall, and today the September op--
ton is = cent above the quotations for
! May.

The silver Bill.

WASHINGTON, June Yesterday
afternoon the bill to provide for the
free coming of silver was taken up in
the senate. There We're then about a
dozen senators on each side of the cham
ber. Sherman had been in his seat for
the preceding half hour waiting for the
bill. Teller and Stewart were also pres
ent in frequent consultation. Sherman
prefaced the speech on the silver bill by
saying that he did not regard it as par
tisan measure, or political measure, on
which the parties would likely divide.
1t was largely a local measure. There
was no question to be compared with it
business interests of the country.

THEY COULD THEN REST EASY.
Western Men Suspected of Being Loaded
with Isms Inimical to Rail-
way Interests.


snap democracy of this state met in ses-
sion here yesterday, in opposition to
Tammany, and Hills midwinter con-
vention. The meeting was called to or
der by ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Charles G. Fairchild, chairman of the
state committee. Fairchild made a
brief speech, in which he spoke of the
strength of the movement against Hill
and its growth since the conventfR2 lFas
called, and said they had only to go on
in a spirit of justice, and calmly, to ac
-complish what he believed would do
more for the democratic party in the
state of New York than all other politi-
cal movements in the last generation.
Wise ones are of opinion that the con-
vention is backed by the Vanderbilt in
terests and the railway interests gener-
ally, which look with disfavor on Tam
many's antagonism of Mr.. Cleveland.
This belief is founded on the fact that
porting the ex-president in u very ag.
gressive manner. While the conclusion
is logical, is can hardly be said TO have
been fully demonstrated as Yet. 1t is
safe to assume in support of this view
that the Vanderbilts, and other railway
terests which may be affected by the re-
suit in November. They would like to
see a safe man on each of the party
tickets. They could then rest easy.
The western man is what men like the
Vanderbilts fear the most. To them the
western man is an embodiment of
western ideas. He is suspected of being
loaded with isms. Drawing millions
from the west, the Vanderbilts look with
apprehension on any attempt to nomi-
nate candidate for president from the
west. 1t follows, therefore, that Tam
many's opposition to Cleveland, inviting
as it does the selection of q western man,
incurs the disaproval of the Vanderbilts.
This, taken in connection with the ag-
gressiveness of the Vanderbilt agents,
tends to confirm belief that they are
anxious to see Mr.. Cleveland nominated.
The anti-snap platform presented to the
convention denounces the republican
party and the billion dollar congress
contrasts Clevelands' administration
favorably declares that New York shall
not be blank space on the democratic
map; then denounces the Mckinley act
at length in its effect on commercial de-
velopements. The silver plank is as
follows: We approve OF the use OF
both gold and silver as money, but de-
mand that all dollars whether gold OF
silver, shall be equal in value to each
other, in fact as well as by declaration oi
law. We are opposed to the free coinage
of silver by the United States alone al
the existing ratio of 16 to l because We
do not believe that free coinage at thai
ratio will produce an eqality of real value
between the gold and the silver dollar
The platform then takes up the demo
cratic factional fight in New York, ane
without mentioning names, denounce,

 TIE suffering caused by the floods in the rivers of Arkansas is something unprecedented. An unusually large number of fatalities have been re- ported and thousands of people are homeless and without the means of subsistence. The question is the dis position of the coored people is a serlOus one. They will be unable to make a crop this year, and many of them seem to think the government should maintain them in idleness until next season. The people of Little Rock sent out relief boats to rescue the un- fortunates and contributed provisions to supply their immediate needs. This was taken by the negroes as an earnest that they would not be required to work and confirmed their expectation of being fed and clothed by Uncle Sam. Many have refused to labor for renumerative wages, and the prospects are flattering for large number of darkeys to go hungry.
