Tresided What He Doesn't Expect Doesn't
Happen.
CHICAGO. March 10.-According to a
story published in an evening paper Jim"
keene, the New York broker, stands to
win or lose S1OO00,0O0 in wheat on the
Chicago board of trade. keene has OBJ
tanned control of about 20, OOO, 00G bushels
of the best wheat in western storehouses,
the paper says, and has accumulated
prodigious line of futures. The story con-
tinues: The cash end of the deal is in
charge of SANDY" Eggleston and the
speculative end is managed by John Cud-
ahy, both masters in their specialties.
Cornered the Elevator Space.
Nearly all of the contract" wheat in
Chicago, amounting to about 10000, 900
bushels, is lodged with Eggleston, and
nearly as much more high grade property
in st. Louis, Minneapolis, Duluth and
other western centers is controlled by the
same individual Besides his immense
cash holdings in this city Eggleston has
cornered about all the elevator space in
Chicago that can by any possibility be-
come available for the storage of new re-
ceipts between now and the end of May.
The Rock That May Wreck Him.
1t has been charged here for a month or
more that Jack Cudahy holds in seven
commission houses 100000 bushels of
wheat for May delivery and he has kept
the market in his grip for long time. 1t
is now discovered that rs per cent. of the
trapped short interest is represented 10y
'hedges," and this is the rock upon which
the Keene deal my split.

GUN, Ala, March 10-Rev. ID. A. Strut
ton, of Elmott, Tex, a noted evangelist of
the Christian church, was robbed, stripped
naked and flogged within an inch of his
life Wednesday by moonshiners in Wins
ton county, this state, who mistook him
for revenue agent. DR. Strutton had
Just closed a series of revival meetings at
Russellville, Ala, and was stopping over
night at the house of a farmer named
Burns near Eldridge. After he had re-
tired for the night crowd of armed men
on horseback called Burns out, and after
talking with him for a while went into the
house and commanded DIR. Strutton to
get up.
Refused Offers of Identification.
They put a pistol in his face and told
him to get out at once. He did so, and
then they told him to follow them; after
going about 200 yards from the house he
asked if they were going to take him away;
if So to allow him to carry his valise. They
returned and got his valise, at the same
time examining the contents in order to
ascertain if he was a detective. He told
them what his business was and offered to
go with them to the nearest telegraph
office and telegraph to the governor of
Texas in regard to himself and his bust
ness. The men refused the offer.
Kicked, Cursed and Robbed Him.
The brutes Kicked and cursed him and
took from him his gold watch, gold headed
cane, all his money, his overcoat. dress
coat, hat and other articles of clothing,
leaving him without a rag of clothes or
money. They left his hymn book. The
moonshiners then took the bride reins
from their horses and started tc hang DR..
Strutton, but he begged so piteously for
mis- life that they concluded, after a con-
sultation, to release him after administer
ing logging After beating him until
he could hardly stand the moonshiners be-
gan shooting between the doctor S legs and
otherwise maltreating him.
Ordered to Leave the Country.
At last the leader of the gang told the
others to let him go, and told him never to
come back to that country spying. He left
amid showers of bullets. The affair has
created great excitement and indignation
here, and strong efforts will be made TO
bring the moonshiners to justice. The cit
liens have appealed to Governor Jones to
offer a rewal for the desperadoes and he
will no doubt comply.

against the existing pension laws has been
started among the old soldiers of this city.
Wednesday night Noah L. Farnham post,

ice of the country, are Prevented from
earning living, and whose circumstances
justify them in calling upon the country
for support, and declaring that any old
soldier or sailor who applies for or accepts
pension except under these conditions is
guilty of conduct calculated to injure the
good men who are willing to give their
lives for their country without any reward
save the approval of their own conscience

To Secure Sunday Opening.

CHICAGO, March 10.-The endeavor to
secure the opening of the Worlds fair on
Sunday will be transferred from the state
courts to the United States. An attempt
will be made to get the United States SUI
preme court to issue an injunction against
restraining the opening of the gates. To
do this the Suit must be brought in the
name of the state, and Attorney General
Moloney has given his consent. The
grounds of the complaint will be that the
corporation is an Illinois one and congress
had no power to make the obnoxious re-
striction.
