Frank w. Vanderbilt, George DeFor-
est. Louis llcbb, Winfield Scott While
and Frank Riggs. all of whom are
summering at Newport. Early in the
day a thick fog set in, and Capt. Nor
rison deemed it imprudent to run fur
Their, as the yacht was in the track of
a coasting vessel. After making the
Pollock lightship anchor was dropped
and the whistles and horns blown at
frequent intervals.
shortly after ) a. IN. the guests were
aroused by u heavy crash. Wan. VAN
derhilt was first on deck. Looking
through the fog they could see the
dark hull of Il large steamer backing
away from the yacht. The yacht
hailed the steamer and informed the
captain that the yacht must sink. a
Steam launch. four row boats and Il
naptha launch were lowered from the

Double Murder ut Dcadwood.

Woop RANCH, eight miles from Dead
wood, was the scene of IL double MUIR
der. The two victims are L. Wood,
owner of the ranch, and a young man
named Goody. who had been paying
the formers daughter court against his
wishes. The father had warned Goody
that his presence was not desired and
that he must keep away. In defiance
to the wishes of Wood, Goody came to
the house and asked for the girl. Tho
party of whom he inquired instead of
sending Miss Wood to him sent her
father. The two had some words.
which resulted in Wood drawing his
revolver and firing two shots at Goody.
One ball penetrated his head and the
other his abdomen. AS he was falling
he drew his revolver and shot Wood
through the head. Wood lived two
hours and Gooly an hour. The girl
over whom the quarrel was due was an
eyewitness to the affair and it is feared
that the sight will cause her death.

A MUCH BETTER.
Retarns show That the Spring Wheat
Crop Is Surprising All Expectations.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: There is distinct improve
ment, not only in transactions in COM
parison with the same time last year,
but also in prospect for the coming
season. Prospects of spring wheat are
remarkably good andreturns from many
of the States surpass all expectations.
Wheat has risen 81 cents in spite OF
Western receipts amounting to 2, 136, 900
bushels in three days. against exports
of sos 900 bushels. Oats also rose l
cent and pork products a shade, and
corn has advanced 2 per cent. In coffee
there was a slight advance, and in oil a
fractional decline. But in the cotton
market a decline of a sixteenth occurred.
with sales Of $50, 900 bales in a week.
