GREAT ROAR.
Chicago Wheat Pit Is Filled by n
Wildly Struggling Crowd.

Chicago. May 25.-One of the great
est crowds that has been seen for
many day was packed into the gal
leries of the board of trade. 1t was
certainly true that the widest scene
so far of the present activity in wheat
would be precipitated when the days
business was begun. The visitors
were not disappointed. The curb and
outside trading preceding the opening
made it definite that wheat would
open in the neighbOrhood of 3 cents
higher than the close last night. The
opening price was so Lee for July.
against - lac last night. Later it
went up to SIC. At the close a slump
was made to IS SIC. In the wheat
pit. where the widest excitement pre-
vailed, bareheaded and with perspir-
ing, excited faces, the crowd of trad
ers pushed and struggled in the tan
gled mass, surging back and forth
across the bottom of the pit and upon
the steps like Gagged wild beasts.

Variation In the Growth of Trees

The popular idea that trees keep on
steadily adding to their growth year
in and year out has been falsified by
the observations Of NJ. Mer, a French
forester. Nj. Mer states that the
weather affects the growth Of trees,
as it does that of vegetables. In the
dry summer Of 1893 the frs of the
Vosges grew less than usual, both in
height and diameter. A similar effect
was produced by the exceptionally
cold, wet summer Of 1888. The dry
spring of 1892 only diminished the
growth in length, and the dry autumn
of 1887 only checked the growth in
thickness. In short, there are good.
bad and middling years of growth,
and NJ. Mer considers that foresters
will do well to give the matter great
deal more study than has ever been
devoted to it.

POLICY POISONER.
A WOman's Death Accomplished In

San Francisco, May go. w. Win
throp. assistant superintendent of
Laurel Hill cemetery, was arrested
this morning in connection with the
mysterious death of Mrs. Jennie
Matthews last Saturday. Mrs.
Matthews died very suddenly while
decorating the grave of her child. Her
little daughter, who was with her. said
Winthrop gave her mother a pill, but
he denied the statement. An analysis
of the woman's stomach, however de-
veloped the fact that it contained
strychnine. Evidence is said TO have
been found now that Mrs. Matthews
had her life insured for $1,000 few
days before her death and that Win
thrOp Is deputized in the policy to hold
the money In trust for her daughter,
Minnie, a child six years old. Mrs.
Matthews husband did not know his
wife had her life insured until after
her death, and now the policy cannot
be found. No charge was made against
Winthrop. but he was locked up and
will be held pending a further investi-
CATION of the case.

Iicysles and Street Railroads.

The bicycle epidemic is sweeping
over the whole country. 1t is esti-
mated that during the coming summer
the votaries of the wheel in New York
city alone will number over 100000.
In many cities the bicycle has inaug-
urated serious rivalry with the street
car, and in Denver the effect has been
so unmistakable that the local street
railway company has had to cut the
wages of its employees in order to meet
the great reduction in its income. The
daily receipts of the car lines have
never been SO low, and that the drop
is caused entirely by the introduction
or bicycles is beyond a doubt. On wet
days, when the wheels cannot be rid
den, the receipts per car invariably
run up to over $50 per day. AS soon
as the streets dry off the receipts drop
down fully one-half. Formerly the
large crowd of invalids and pleasure
seekers, which is constantly pouring
into Denver, would take the cars out
to the suburbs for their daily outing:
now the wheel is used instead. 1t is
estimated that during the past year
1000 wheels have been sold in the city
by the local dealers. besides the large
number shipped in by individuals. The
estimate of 10000 wheels in use is
probably extremely low. Each of these
wheels will take out of the pocket of
the street railway company some 20
or 80 cents day. Taking the low es-
innate of 20 cents n day for the 10000
wheels, the amount would reach 5000
q day. or $730,OO0 year. The contin-
gency which has presented itself in
such definite shape in Denver WIN
have to be met by the street car com
panies in many other cities, and in
stead of abating this source of depri-
walton Of revenue is likely to become
more formidable, especially during the
summer months. The use of the BIZ
cycle has apparently but just begun
to fairly take hold on the popular
fancy. and it is prophesied that before
long the majority of people will just
as soon think of doing without their
bicycles as their watches.

A white man named Cropper was

fore Justice Burroughs in behalf of
tho accused, stating that they SAW the
man the night of the arrest and that
lie showed no signs of intoxication.
A representative of TIE VR3INIAN
made an effort to find Detective Jones
last night but could not.
The publication of his strange con.
duct IN the evening papers yesterday.
as exposed to the police Justice, was
very freely commented upon last mig ht.
Officer Snyder also said to his per.
sonal knowledge Detective j ones went
to the mans house TO inquire about a
pawn ticket aud found Chopper In bed {;
that tho man had taken few drinks
during tho evening, but was then fast
nsleep. That the man was pulled ont
of bed and brought to the station aud
charge of drunkenness entered
against him. Justice Burroughs after
hearing the statement of Officer
Snyder Issued release for the
prisoner.

that II may be frniI, it's roof may shake.

1t would appear that the laws of

sufficient to hold back even the King
