Marvellous Results.

From letter written b. Rev. ] Gunder-
man, of Diamondale, Mich, we are permitted
to make this extract: Il have no hesitation in
recommending DR.. Kings New Discovery as
the results were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the Bap-
fist Church at Rives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption aud it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A friend

AN AWFUL TRAGEDY RECALLED
Another chapter in the Oliver H.
Delany tragedy, which two years ago
created the greatest excitement all over
Kentucky, was enacted at Shawnee
town, H., last night. Two years ago
Henry Delany, the Don Juan of Stur-
gis (Ky.) neighborhood, and Fannie
Tate, of the same place, We're engaged
to be married. Just before the marriage
the mother of Miss Abbie Oliver, a
comely young country girl, with the
girls father, drove up to Delany's home,
and. at the point of q pistol, made De-
lany go with them to 'squire's Office,
where Delauy and the Oliver girl were
married. It was generally known that
Delany had ruined Miss Oliver, and he
had all along declared that had not
Miss Annie Tate, a beautiful young
music teacher, moved in the neighbor-
hood he would have married her. But
his heart was for the teacher. When
the party were leaving the 'squire's
four of Delany's friends, one being his
brother, rode up to the buggy and
poured fusilade into the occupants.
Delany was the only one not wounded.
His bride was shot through the head
and instantly killed; her mother was
shot through the breast, and her father
through the chest. Mobs were or
gained to lynch all the Delanys
and their friends, and the excitement
was at fever heat. Two of them are
now serving life-sentences. Delany was
sentenced for life, but the Court of APP
peals recently reversed his case, and he
is now out on bond. Throughout all
this trouble Miss Tate, who was point
ed out as the real cause of the affair,
remained true TO the young man, and
they went quietly to Shawneetown and
were married.

ity in prices and less excitement in the pit. The government report, which was due today, constituted another unknown quality, and specul ators felt inclined to wait until it had become public before doing anything in the market. May corn opened at 54c and closed &6 7sc under yesterday, at 53A653sSc. Sep tember corn closed 1c under yesterday. Cash corn was l2c lower.
 Oats were easier, but showed nothing of in- terest in their trade. The weakness was due to the similar feeling in corn, only light bus iness however, being transacted. Cash oats were l2G1c lower.
 Provisions The country. which has made such killing in corn during the past couple of weeks, has turned its attention to products and was buying the entire list today, preferr- ing the January delivery on everything. The basis of their theory of better values for pro- visions is the short corn crop, which, if noth- ing goes wrong, with the present position Of that crop as now generally understood, will naturally increase the value of live hogs, and in the regular course of affairs add to the price of pork, lard and ribs. The close 32l2c higher for January pork, 15c higher for Janu- ary lard and 12l2c higher for January ribs. The cash demand was better and consi derabie business was transacted.

CHICAGO CHANCE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The grain markets looked more natural today than they have for many days There was a total absence of the uneasy feeling and nervous action that char acterized them early in the week. Some in- terest was taken in wheat on its own merits today. The opening was strong, under the influence of early buying on the curb for some one whose name could not be learned. Later there was not so much strength to the market, due no doubt to the weakness which had de- veloped in corn September wheat opened at from 57 to 56I2c, sold down to 56c, closing at 66Ac, Ac under yesterday. Cash wheat was in good demand. prices averaging h@lc per bushel lower.

IN WALL STREET.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-During the past lew days the stock market has shown an lmpfov- ing tendency, based on the idea that the tarln conferees were getting together ana that bill of some sort would shortly be submitted to the house and senate. On this theory op- orators were disposed 10 assume new ob.ga. tions, and trading took on an appearance or activity. Today, however, Washington ad- vices were less favorable to an early settie- ment, and the market immediately reflected this in material falling of in the volume or business. What Wall street desires is definite action. The sales today were 113 1000 shares, against 1S6 1000 yesterday and l9l 900 on Wednesday. At the start decline of ls to es per cent was noted, Rock Island, Louisville and Nashville andSugar leading Subsequently there was rise ot A to 1ss per cent, New England, Union Pacific, New York Central, Big Four, Richmond Terminal and Atchison being most prominent in the advance. In the afternoon trading in DistilIers was weak at a decline, the impression prevailing, that the defeat of the tariff legislation would have an unfavorable effect on this concern. On the other hand Sugar and Lead were strong, Su- gar rising to 1O6la and Lead to 42sb for the common and to 36s4 for the preferred. The market left of firm at advances of ls to "A per cent for the day. Louisville and Nashville, however, lost Is per cent, and the Changers Is to I2 per cent. The bond market was ac- tive and strong.
