Chicago Speculative Pits, on
Large Receipts, Showed
Little Life.
Local Holders Dumped Long
Notwithstanding Bought
and Sold.
Rather Heavy Decline Noted
Since Saturday, and No
Trading.
New York Exchange Dealing
Closed With Some Gains
on the Day.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-There was but little
doing here in the speculative market today
The receipts, which had accumulated since
Saturday, showed up big when Jumped to-
gether. Local holders dumped any long
wheat they held, and the price for May
shows loss since Saturday of 11sc. Corn
was firm but l;feless: provisions duh and
weak. Wheat started Is@s4c lower, with
May at 93c sellers. followed by an immediate
drop to 92s4c, and shortly after another drop
to 92l2c The cables were lower with Liver
pool lad off from yesterdays price. Paris
was rather easier for flour and called wheat
cheaper to sell.
There was an increase of Il, 056, 900 blu on
ocean passage. In a measure offset by de-
crease of SIC 456 blu IN the English visible
supply. New York was liberal seller in
this market, and reported foreign houses as
also selling freely. Late cables were said to
be still weaker than at the opening. The do
nestle receipts i'll the Northwest were large,
posted at / ,292 cars, and the weather in the
wheaebelt favorable. The longs sold out
and the shorts waited for further break,
and were gratihed with further decline to
921sc- Partridge sold some during the de-
cline, but turned buyer around 924c, and
took in perhaps 100000 bu more than he had
previously disposed of. There was a reac-
lion 10 92I2c near the close, the last figure
being 92Ac.
The speculative business in corn came al
most to dead stand after the first twenty
minutes of the session. and the price scarce
ly moved from lac for May. It got as high
as 41s404i7s, and as low as 411sQD41s4c, and
closed at 417sc. Some shorts, among them
Partridge. sibley and Cudahy, bought con
siderable. Armour Il Harvey were moderate
sellers early, presumably against their ele
vator receipts. Liverpool was quoted firm.
Oats were weak in sympathy with the easy
feeling in wheat and corn. May sold early at
31ls@31Ac, fell to Bic, and later reacted and
closed at 31ssc. Hog products were quiet and
decidedly lower; the receipts Of hogs were in
excess OF the estimates, and prices at the
yards were 50l0c lower. They started a
good deal of speculative selling, and as
there was very little demand lower prices re-
suited
May pork sold early at ST 72I9, broke
gradually, to Sill so, reacted to Sll go and
again sold off to Sill So. May lard sold from
Sc 60 to $3.50, and May ribs fell from SIS 97la
to S.. SIZE and closed at $500. May lard
closed at So. So
The visible supply showed a decrease in
wheat of $4,000 blu. Oats decreased $4,000
bu, while corn increased 203, 700 bu.

st. Paul Roads Alleged to Be in
New One.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 23.-The Even
Ing Telegraph says this evening: 1t
was reported today that another big
railroad d al. in which the Pennsyl-
vania would figure prominently. was
pending and that the details would soon
be announced. No definite information
upon the subject is obtainable, but it
was said on the street that the PenDSyl-
Vania had made or was about to make a
deal in which the AtchiSon. Northern
Pacific and st. Paul roads would be in
teresed. Some time ago it was reported
that the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany was about to effect combination
with the Atchison, but the rumor could
Bot be confirmed and the Pennsylvania
officials said there was no foundation
for it.
a report was then circulated to the
effect that the Pennsylvania company
would enter into a combination with
the Northern Pacific, but the officials of
both companies denied that report also.
The rumors, however, had attracted
considerable attention and today the
course of stocks mentioned was closely
watched on the market, the brokers be-
lleling that the fluctuations would af-
ford some indication of the truth or
falsity of the reports. 1t was said that
the combination referred to, with Chi
cago IS the pivotal point, would be a
very strong one and that it would ma
terially strengthen the position of the
Pennsylvania road and it would give it
through line extending from one end
of the continent TO the other.

Roundup.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The Herald has
the following: Rumor has it that Com
modore Vanderbilt's dream has been
realized. 1t is said that the Vanderbilt
Interests have secured control of the st.
Paul system, and that the grand ALI
ance now includes the st. Paul, the
Northwestern and the Union Pacific,
that is, through line from New York
to the Pacific at Portland and San Fran
cisco. If trae, it is the most important
railroad deal in many years. 1t is said
that it will be formally announced to-
morrow, but Chauncey NJ. Depew de
MES il.
Commodore Vanderbilt never had
any such Dream" said Mr.. Depew.
1.-The Vanderbilt interests have made
no such attempt to control, nor have
they succeeded in getting control In any
way, shape or manner, of the st. Paul
system. There is no truth in the story,
and you will find that such a combine
exists only on the floor of the stock eX-
change"
The story given out yesterday, like
others of similar import that have been
circulated of late, had much to COM
mend il and was told with great eIrcum-
stantiality. Active efforts, it was as
serted, had been going on since j. Pier
pOnt Morgan succeeded in converting
the 100000 floating debt of the Union
Pacific road into Understanding celtifi-
Gates.
CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Once more the
story is telegraphed from New York
that the Vanderbilts have secured con-
troll of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul road, and that the grand alliance
now includes the st. Paul. the Chicago
&, J, De-
1t would probably be impossible to
find prominent railroad man in Chi
cago WHO puts any faith in these re-
ports. Presi dent Roswell Miller, of the
st. Paul, said: Il can only repeat what
1 have frequently stated before con-
corning similar reports, that don't be-
ieye there is any truth in the story"

KILLING MISFORTUNE.
A Fireman's Duty Calls Him to a
Fearful Scene.

Fearful Scene.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 23.-Two chill
dren were burned to death in fire at
McKeesport last night. almost within
reach of their father, who, in his brave
efforts to rescue his little ones, almost
persisted amid the smoke and flames
himself, and it is not altogether certain
now that he will live. A third child was
also probably fatally burned. The fire
occurred late last night in three-story
frame house occupied by Michael Lynch
and his family. Lynch was fireman,
and when the alarm was turned in he
was on duty at the engine house. Little
thinking that it was his own house that
was on fire, or of the terrible calamity
that was about to befall him, Lynch
jumped Oh the hose carriage and rode
to the burning house, where he was
horrOr-Stricken to find that it was his
own.
The house was one mass of flames
when the firemen arrived. One look at
1t and Lynch rushed into the flame and
smoke i'll search of his wife and children,
who some one in the crowd said were in
the house. The frantic father had
scarcely got inside the door when he
was overcome by the dense smoke lind
Some of his fellow firemen jumped to
his assistance, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that they succeeded
in rescuing him. In the meantime two
of his children, asleep in another room,
were caught by the flames just as their
father entered the house to save them
and were burned to death. Another
child was badly burned. but some of
the fremen succeeded in rescuing her.
She may die. Mrs. Lynch succeeded in
escaping from the burning building
without serious injury.

INTERSTATE DECISIONS.
Louisville & Nashville Passes
Held to Be Illegal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The inter-
state commerce commission today an
nounced its decision in two cases in
opinions by Commissioner Knapp. One
is the case of William Ii. Harvey against
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
company, involving the giving of free
passes and free transportation, and the
commission decides that the action of
the defendant IN granting to members
of the city council of New Orleans and
the clerk of that body. on account Of
official position, free transporta-
ton violates the act to regu-
late commerce, and is unlawful.
The order of the commission
is that the Louisville 81 Nashville COM
panv desist from granting free passes
Overits interstate lines, except as pro-
vided in the twenty-second section of
the act. The other case relates to rates
on butter in less than carloads from
Lincoln, Kan, to Denver, Col. The
line between these points runs through
sparsely populated country, furnish
ing comparatively little business to the
carrier. The decision is that the charge
complained OF is not shown to be un-
reasonable, nor does the evidence fur
nish sufficient reason for interfering
with rate established by number of
roads and common to many communi-
ties

stocks of wheat in England, but there was on
the other hand large increase in the total of
