Market Feeling Good.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 16.-A bulge
of nearly two cents a bushel in
corn was the feature on change to-
day. New York houses were all
buyers, and the market generally
was influenced by the prospect
that the imported duties on feed
stuffs will be removed by the
French assembly. The offerings
were meagre, and the feeling in
other grain was also rather buoy
ant.

Several Killed and Wounded.

CHICAGO, Ills, June 16.-In a
miniature battle, during which
eighteen shots were fired, growing
out of an old feud, two men were
probably fatally, and another Sc
riously wounded, last night, at
IL: 80 o'clock, at the corner
of Adams and Halstead streets.
The following were wounded :
Christensen, shot in the groin, will
probably die. Kane, shot in the
neck, will probably die. George
Wilson is shot in the left leg. The
shooting grew out of a long and
bitter enmity between Jake Spin
ner and Kane, on the one hand, and
Geo. Wilson, j. HOLMAN and Chris
Jensen. The three last named are
potatoe and egg peddlers, who have
their place of business on School
street, near Halsted, and some
time ago their shop was broken
open and six cases Of eggs stolen.
Spinner and Kane were accused OF
the theft. Several rows have since
occurred between the two parties.
The men met on Haisted street,
last night and as soon as they met
commenced hostilities. Those who
witnessed the shooting said that
the shots were all fired within fif-
teen seconds, and sounded like the
report of a couple of rapid firing
guns. The officers have been de-
tailed to hunt them down and ar
rest Spinner, as he is the one held
most responsible for the shooting.

The First Structure Of the Kind in
the Country.
Philadelphia Is ahead In bridge building.
Pine Road bridge. over the Pennypack, is
the first structure Of its kind in the United
States. and was erected in accordance with
the suggestion of Bridge Superintendent
Carl A. T-ik Of the highway bureau Mr..
Trik recommended an experiment in build
ing with cement, and his advice being
taken, the work was placed under his super
vision.
The materials used in its construction
were 112 tons of Manheimer Portland ce-
ment, pa tons best bar sand and So tons
or broken granite. Its cost was s. A62
against I'll. 100, the lowest bid for a granite
bridge.
The new structure has received the favor
able notice Of Chiefs Bullock and Webster
and Of Director Windrim and the surveyors
and survey officials generally. Externally it
looks like a bridge built Of granite and the
cement is said to harden and become more
solid with time. The success Of the plan
recommended by Mr.. Trik will result in the
saving OF many thousands of dollars to the
city, and In the acquisition Of structures
considerably superior in appearance to the
old-fashioned county bridge over the small
er streams. though the method, with some
notifications, is said to be available for
rivers of considerable volume Other cities
will. no doubt, follow PHILADELPHIA in this
as in few other mechanical and scientifc
improvements.
