The Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, March 27.-An advance
of two cents per bushel on the price
of wheat for May delivery took
place here today. There was much
excitement and trade was general
and heavy. 1t looked as the visible
supply statement would show an
Unexpectedly large increase of over
a million bushels. Big decrease
at New York. Thousands strength
ed this market. Private cables re-
ported continental demand for
cargoes aflOat. Northwest receipts
were light and May shorts became
alarmed over the Kansas drouth
remaining unbrOken. The fact
that Chicago receipts OVerran a
hundred cars and that the west
was luXuriating in warm weather
seemed to cut no figure. The bull
clique at first offered May wheat
moderately with the intention of
apparently preventing the marked
advance. Later Eggleston bought
back May wheat. He sold early
three hundred TO four hundred
thousand bushels. May opened &c
higher at 7S8, touched 70 and re-
acted 7St and advanced with some
fluctuations to so, reacting after
ward to 794. July did not advance
correspondingly as much as May.
Corn was dull and steady, keeping
within a quarter of Saturdays
closing figures. Provisions were
quiet but firm.

THE MURDERER ESCAPES
By Dragging the Keeper-Is Armed
With a Rifle.

JACKSON, Mich, March PR.
Irving Latimer, the Jackson mat
ricide, is at liberty, and is armed
with rifle. He escaped soon after
| o'clock this morning, after drug
ging George w. Haight, who had
charge of. the gate, upstairs;
Haight died at 3 o'clock this morn
ing, as result of the poison. Capt.
Gill is under arrest, charged with
being Latimer's accomplish. Lati-
mer tried to release the priS-
oner near his own cell, but failing
in the attempt, made his own
escape by way of the front gates.
Latimer secured a rifle and a guam
tity of ammunition before going, and
will surely make a desperate fight.
Those who know him say there is
not one chance in a thousand of
ever taking him alive. There is
most intense excitement, and hun
dredS of men are searching the city
and surrounding country. Tele-
grams have been sent all over the
state and it seems impossible
he can escape. r. Irving
Latimer murdered his mother
at Jackson, soon after | O'Clock on
the morning of January %, 1889.
He evidently shot her once while
in bed asleep. Latimer owned
drug store in Jackson, and was
one of the society youths of the
city, at the time. His father had
died some years before the murder
under very suspicious circumstan-
ces, and there is but little doubt
that Irving poisoned his own
father.

American citizens under thirty

fore been publicly exhibited. The
exhibition will close May ID. The
display this year surpasses that OF
any previous season and the press
view which was given last week,
proved most satisfactory. The

by a committee of three acad-
emicians and two associates of the
academy, who may receive the
highest number of votes cast by
the exhibitors. A blank form for
