The WHEAT OUTLOOK.
IL Is Estimated That There VIII BE a
Great Shrinkage.

CHICAGO, July l5-.A dispatch from st.
Paul, Mimi, says: Dispatches from Big
Stone, Grant, Swift and Lac-Qui-Parle
counties, Minnesota, and several counties
in the west of those in South Dakota, are
to the effect that the prospects for wheat
are not so good by SO per cent as ten
days ago on account OF the drought.
There has been no rain in that section for
Is days. Correspondents report that the
yield will not exceed six bushels in Lac
Qui-Parle and Swift counties and Will be
but little better in Big Stone county. Ii
is very dry in Chicago, Pine and Anoka
counties, the Minnesota potato belt, and
the yield Of potatoes viii be very small
unless rain comes in the next three days.
Charles A. Pillsbury, the miller, says:
81 thought on July / that Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, would yield
lao, 600, 900 bushels of wheat as against
about i15, 600, 600 last year. Now, l think
the extreme possibility is 125, 000, 600, with
a strong possibility that we will raise no
more than we did year ago."

A STEAMER BURNED.
Hotel Near the Dock Was Also De-
stroyed by Fire.

LEWISTON, N. Y, July Is. The steamer
Cibola of the Niagara Navigation Com
pany was entirely destroyed by fire last
night. The engineer was caught in the
engine room and burned to death. The
hotel near the docks caught fire and was
burned to the ground.
1t Is supposed that the flames originated
in the engine room of the steamer. When
discovered they had obtained such grip
that the villagers were powerless to ex-
tinguish them. When the fire threat
ened the destruction of the town the
Cibola was cut loose and allowed to drift
down the river, affording beautiful
spectacle of ship of flame until she had
burned to the waters edge. The dock
and the American Hotel and barns,
all owned by III. ~. Cornell, were
utterly destroyed and the flames badly
damaged the Anglois retreat, and por-
tion of the plant Of the new Gorge elec-
trio railway. The total loss outside of
the steamer is probably not more than
go 600. The steamer was valued at over
200, 900. She was one of the four boats
that piled the waters of Lake Ontario,
between this port and Toronto, forming
a link IN the route used By the Canadian
Pacific and the New York Central be-
tween Buffalo and Toronto. The Cibola
was built on the Clyde, and was modelled
after the fastest OF the English channel
steamers. The name of the missing
engineer Is not known.

THIEVES CAPTURED.
The Pains They Took to Make Buggy
Saleable.

William III. Proffett, a colored man, and
David Anderson are in bad fix, as they
have been arrested for stealing buggy
and q lot of articles from John ID. Rob
binson's stable at the corner OF Winter
and Pond streets.
Both men have been employed by Mr..
Robinson for some time, and few
weeks ago a carriage valued at Sl60 was
missing from the barn. The case was
given to detectives Cannon aud Merrill,
and they succeeded in finding the carriage
and a case of sur cal instruments. The
carriage is said to have been taken by
these two men, who took IL to a carriage
painter at Olneyville and had IL repainted.
The makers name was taken from it
and other things done to the carriage so
that IL could not be identified. The car
riage was afterward sold. In the Sixth
District Court this morning Proffett
pleaded guilty TO the charge and was
bound over TO the higher court I'm the
sum of 800 Anderson pleaded not guilty
and his case was disposed of in like
manner. Anderson was then charged
with stealing surgical instruments from
Elmer Il. Wood, and TO this he pleaded
guilty, as he could not do otherwise as
the articles were found in his room on
Perry street. He was fined $40 and
costs. Anderson was arrested at his
home, Saturday evening, and Proffett
yesterday morning at the barn on Winter
street by detectives Merrill and Cannon.
