CHICAGO, Ills, May 2O.-Corn

on weekly exports proving
a million larger than expected ;
while big receipts and rather ia
vorable cables did not at first
count for much. Trade was active.
July wheat opened / to higher

WILMINGTON, Del, May 90
The report that a. V. Dupont; who
died in Louisville, KY, last Tues
day, came to his death by violence.
is emphatically denied by the
members of Dupont's family in
this city. The account given by
Col. II A. Dupont, leading men,
Der of the Powder manufacturing
firm of this city, is that on Tues
day afternoon last, while on the
street in Louisville, inspecting
some railway works, in which he
was interested, Mr.. Dupont was
suddenly seized with chill, and
became very sick. His brother,
Binninger Dupont, who was with
him at the time, at once hurried
him to the office of DIR. T. l.. McDer-
mott, who pronounced him very
sick man, and on the physicians
advice a carriage was procured and
Mr.. Dupont was driven to the resi-
dence of his brother, where he eX-
pired soon after of heart failure.
Mr.. Dupont's body has arrived in
this city, and was quietly buried
in a private burial ground of the
family, at DupOnt's banks, near
Wilmington.

Disastrous Accident in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Ills, May 2O.-A dis
astrous accident today marred the
close of the great Congress of
Women. A section of the floor,
twenty by twenty feet in extent,
forming an entrance to Washing
ton hall, in the art institute, sud-
denly gave way and fell to the
ground, a distance of twelve
feet. Seventy-tive panic stricken
women fell in a mass of struggling
humanity, and cries OF hundreds
already assembled, contributed to
the excitement that followed.
After scores of people rushed to
the rescue and nearly four score of
women had been eKtricated, it was
found that about eight persons had
been seriously injured, but none of
them fatally. The cause of the
accident, apparently, was the fact
that, weakened by the continual
passing of thousands, the supports
of the floor failed. Warning of the
accident was given by slight
creaking. There was no crash, but
the platform slowly sank until its
timbers were mingled with the
shrieking women, on the solid
foundations, II feet lower.
