CHICAGO, June 24-There was more
| horse talk than business on Change To-Day
Prices averaged little lower, but the
| closing quotations show scarcely any
! change from last nights figures. There
was nothing particularly encouraging re-
ceived in the way of news in the wheat pit
to induce buying. excepting 1T was that
some reports were received noting damage
TO the spring wheat crop IN the Northwest
from recent holders. Other news gener-
ally favored the selling side, but prices are
so low that operators do not feel like sell
ing to any extent. Corn, little doing, about
even prices Oats, dull and lower. Pro
visions, dull, with little change in prices.

Excellent Condition:
VrkfOa Democrat.

We were surprised to find upon our
recent trip TO Camden-on-Gauley the
splendid condition Of the roadbed from
Weston TO the extreme end Of the line.
Mr.. II. A. Rebrook, who has charge OF
this division, has certainly demonstrated
his peculiar fitness for the position he
holds. While the West Virginia and
Pittsburg can justly pride itself upon
the excellent condition of its road in
general, it must be acknowledged that
the Braxton and Gauley end-although
recently cOmpleted-is rapidly gaining
favor with the travelling public. The
road is substantial and Notwithstanding
the many curves and stiff grades in
places the train glides smoothly and
pleasantly along. A trip to Gauley is.
Indeed, delightful ride.

The Murdered Man Now Alive.

The case of Peter Meggs, now confined in
the penitentlary for the murder of Mike
Ferry In Grimes county, promises 10 be tho
most celebrated In Texas, as the supposed
dead man is also inmate Of the prison.
Advices received from Grimes county say
that the prisoner (Megrs), admitted commit
ding the murder before the coroner's inquest
md Implicated several other persons.
The body, when found, was badly decom-
posed, but was identified as that OF Mike
Ferry from letters found on 1t. As Ferry is
certainly alive, matters are becoming more
complicated and the lawyers are puzzled as
10 what 10 do In regard to 1t. Meggs cannon
be held for the murder OF a man who is alive
and In the same prison with him, yet there Q
murder committed and the corpse was
identified
The case has caused much comment
throughout the state and will be cited for
years TO come as TO the liability OF witnesses
TO be mistaken In their identification OF
bodies. The present indications are that
Meggs will be released of the charge of muir
dcring Ferry and placed on trial for the kill
ing of the unidentified man.
