An Admirable Model.

The Maine Central gateman at Pearl
street, Woodfords, has during his spare
moments constructed complete work

WHEAT BREAKS AGAIN.
A Net Loss of La Cent for the Day-No

A Net Loss of 1.2 Cent for tho Day-No
support for Prices Either at Homo or
Abroad-The Crop Summary Bearish.
CHICAGO-There was no local support to
prices of wheat. and outside buying orders
were wholly lacking. Corn, oats, pork, lard
and ribs all suffered. A. break Of nearly 20
in wheat occurred. and the closing TONIGHT
compared with "a hours previous shows
net loss of about lkc. While the opening
sales were at very near the closing figures OF
last night, the market betrayed much weak
ness right from the start, and q decline
Of lszc soon resulted. The public cables
came in steady to higher, but the private
advices received were quite the opposite.
Domestic markets were also inclined to sell
lower. Trade was dull and the business very
narrow. being chiefly confined to the pro-
fessional talent and room-traders. The Gin
cinnatf Price Cturenrs crop summary of the
winter wheat situation was generally
thought quite bearish, as showing that SUBJ
stantial progress had been made during the
week, and that confidence in q good crop
was increasing, while tho authorities of
Michigan, in their official report gave the
condition in that State as very satisfactory
and nearly equal to that OF year ago. The
result was gradual development Of weak
ness. The demand grew very slack and the
selling was generous.
May opened at slz@s2c, but ruled neavy,
and soon went off to S034c: There was then
a stiff rally to Sl9sc, but it soon started on
the down grade again; touched S0Ic: rallied
some, and at u o'clock was about S014c
During the last hour there was some rally
on general disposition of shorts to cover
in view of the holiday tomorrow. The fact
that Paris cables came in q shade higher
also helped some. May, after selling at S01sc,
sparingly reacted to s0szc. and at the close
was steady at s05sc.
Corn was rather firm early and sc higher
for May, Influenced by the bad weather
which was expected to cut off receipts and
affect the grading; but on the subsequent
break in wheat corn soon lost all its firm
ness and sold off about Kc. There was not
much activity and the market closed heavy
at little better than bottom prices.
Oats ruled lower, largely due to heavy re-
ceipts. There was fair trade. May began
at 29lI advanced to 291I I@295Sc, and then de-
clined to 2S3zc, recovering later to 2S1sc, the
closing price, which was Nc below last even
ing's final figures.
The trade in provisions was light and the
prices easier A good demand for hogs re-
ported from the yards gave rhomentary
strength at the opening, but the subsequent
weakness in grain had a sympathetic in
f1uence and was worked by the local SCALP
ers to their profit. May pork opened at
rom $40 l71% to $40 20. but declined in the
course of an hours trading to $40 05 and
closed at SO 10, against $40 90 yesterday.

morrow-Good Friday.

ANEGR0LI0N TAMER's DEATH.

Prounced Upon by Large Bear and
Killed in Sight OF a Crowd.
Pail Mall Budget.l
| A terrible occurrence, was witnessed at
Wombwell & Bailey's menagerie and circus
the other night, while an exhibition was
being held at Hednesford, Staffordshire.
Dellah Montarno, lion tanner, was in the
act of entering cage containing two bears
and a hyena, when the mud which had
adhered to his boots caused him to slip.
| He fell on the floor of the den, and the
larger of the bears Immediately poun ced
upon him, and seized him by the back of
the head with its teeth, causing serious in
juries. Some of the spectators were so hor-
| rified at tine ghastly struggle that they fled
panic stricken from the menagerie; but
d large number of coal miners and
| others remained behind Montarno was only
| armed with a stick, and it was seen that he
! was completely powerless, the bear tearing
! him about the head and face in a most saw
age manner. The shrieks of the onlookers
| brought Mr. Frank Bostock from his office
| to the scene His predicament was terri
! BILE one, and makes his prompt assistance all
the more commendable. Both bears and the
hyena were spoken of as being quite docile
even to strangers, but for some unexplained
reason the hyena has shown itself the bitter
enemy of Mr. Bostock; in fact, on more
than one occasion this hyena has exhibited
an eagerness to get Mr.. Bostock within
reach. Mr. Bostock perhaps never realized
danger so keenly before, but without mo-
ment's hesitation he called for stick. In
response some one handed him cane.
Fragile weapon as this was with which to
enter upon such deadly encounter, he
sprang into the cage, and while keeping an
eve on the hyena began to belabor the
bear.
By this time Montarno, who had received
injuries of the most shocking description,
was becoming enfeebled from loss of blood,
and, as though conscious of his mastery, the
bear attacked him with increased ferocity.
After some minutes, which seemed like
hours both to Montarno and Mr.. Bostock,
the bear released its hold, and the lion
tamer,. with terrible gashes about the
face and head, and with clothes torn
almost to shreds, was dragged from the den.
As he was carried out of the place to the
Anglesey Hotel, he remarked, 81 know I
am going to die" DR.. Butler was sum-
moned, but Montarno was beyond hope,
and although retaining consciousness to the
last, died within half an hour. The de-
ceased, who was 45 years of age, was an
African negro, and had been connected
with the menagerie for something like 20
years. During that time he had several
encounters with both bears and lions; but
these experiences, so far from convincing
him Of the danger of his calling, are said to
have produced additional daring

Eggs are again reduced, and prices here
now correspond with prices at other trade
centers. Probabilities are that bottom has
been reached for the present and that better
prices will ob.ain before Easter dawns.
Butter is easy at the decline already noted,
decline equal to &c per pound in less than

South are in bountiful supply, and demand
Is also good. Bermuda potatoes are scarce
and very firm at higher prices than have
prevailed any time this season. Poultry Is
quiet and slow, owing to very heavy re.
ccipts from the lower Ohio Valley the past

late been sending large quantities of poultry
to this market for the reason that better

ELECTRICITY FOR ASTHMA.

Tho Sufferers Need Not Go to the Florida
Pines for Relief Now.
One of the most successful uses to which
electricity has been applied lately is for the
cure Of asthma, says Dr.. A. s. Atkinson, in
exchange. This unpleasant affection of the
respiratory organs has defed the most
medicines that the medical world could
suggest, and the only relief seemed to be in
"a change of climate. FLORIDA pine woods
have, become the great sanitary resort for
people suffering with asthma; but now cleo
tricity has been applied SO that the oppres-
sive feeling in the chest is removed, the
respiratory nerves are polarized, and the
nervous irrjtability steadily quieted.
The popular use Of electricity for asthma
may yet be the outcome OF the experiments,
ard such an effective agent will be cheaper
in the end than the many medicines and
patent nostiuma Each sufferer will be
able to apply the electricity to himself
after proper instructions

day conductor came in here to get $40
worth of nickels. He keeps a little ac-
count here, so I gave them to him and
asked him what he wanted with them. He
said man on his line had been riding free
for a long time by offering $50 bill in pay
ment of his fare, and he. was going to load
him up with nickels the next time. He
put them into a tin bucket, keeping 8 cents
out, and went away laughing. In few
days he came back triumphant.
He stood at my window and told me how
he had worked. it. He laughed long and
hard as he told how the man had handed
him the bill as usual and how he had opened
the locker under the seat and pulled out his
bucket of nickels, and despite the expostu-
lations of the man had poured them into his
hands and walked away. The fellow would
never try that on him again, he said. He
made out a savings deposit slim and handed
me the bill. I. didn't like to do it, but I
had to give it back. It was o rank counter
felt.
