COSTLY CORNER IN WHEAT.
Chicago Firm Must Cash Up for an
Old Deal.

CHICAGO, April 9.-Judge Freeman
today rendered his decision in the suit
of Jackson Brothers & Co., board of
trade firm, against c. j. Kershaw &
Co., with c. B. Eggleston interpleaded.
The decision awarded the plaintiffs
81 $50
This was the last of fifty suits grow
ing out of the efforts of c. j. Kershaw
& Co., with others, to corner the
wheat market in June, 1887. c.. J.
Kershaw e Co. alone carried twenty
million bushels of wheat, and went
down with the crash. President Har-
per, the Cincinnati banker, was the
principal backer of the scheme, and it's
collapse ruined Harper's bank, and
subsequently landed him in the peni-
tentiary.
The point in contention at the trial
just closed was whether or not G. B.
Eggleston was special or general
partner in the firm sof c. ]. Kershaw
& CO. The judgment rendered falls
upon Mr.. Eggleston, he having by the
courts decision become liable for the
debts of the firm, as the firm of c. J.
Kershaw & Co. has no property, ac-
cording to Attorney N. M. Jones,
against which a Judgment would lie.

FLOOD OF PETITIONS.
Wisconsin Voters Want to Give
Opinion on Legislative Passes.

Opinion on Legislative Passes.
MADISON, Wis, April 9-The big
gest grist of petitions of the session
were presented in the assembly today.
They contained altogether over 10000
names. All were for Mr. Halls rail-
way commission bills, the result of his
request to town clerks to have the ques-
ton voted on at the spring election.
Many of them were unanimous in it's
favor. Petitions came from nearly
every county in the state. Mr.. Hall
has been trying to let the people ex-
press an opinion on the question of
passes for members of the legislature,
but by a large majority the assembly
thought they were entitled to ride
free, and so expressed themselves two
weeks ago, when the question came be-
fore the house. Then Mr.. Hall thought
of an ingenious scheme-he would get
the town meeting to vote on the ques-
ton, and they voted as shown To-day,
with a will. He sent circulars, petit
tions and memorials to every town
clerk in Wisconsin, unknown to any of
his colleagues, and the fact that he
had polled the state never got into the
newspapers until two days after cleo
ton.
Both of Mr.. Halls bills-to establish
a board of railroad commissioners and
to regulate railway corporations-came
up tonight, and were indefinitely post
poned.

Fraud Charged to Green,,ut.

CHICAGO, April 9-The direct charge
that Joseph B. Greenhut absorbed in
one transaction $225, 600 and never ac-
counted for it is contained in the pa
pers in the suit by Receiver McNulta,
OF the whisky trust, and associated
complaints against the president of the
trust and his fellow directors, including
Nelson Morris, Sam Woolner and P. J.
Hennessy. The bill alleges that in the
deal in 1892, whereby three distilleries
were purchased, the price charged up
was 1885, ,407. The actual cost, the bill
alleges, was 81, ,685,000. OF the difference
the complainants swear Greenhut took
$225,OcO, and Woolner, it is said, got
S35, 900.

PETER TALKS.

senator Peffer, who made the princi-
pal speech in the senate in advocacy
OF an income tax, did not go into this
branch of the question at all. bur he
Salu, today in an interview that he was
OF opinion that between So, 0O0.0 900 and
Si0eDCbo of revenue would have been
derived from these two sources if the
supreme court had allowed them to
stand, and he added that he thought
that this amount would have been
two-thirds of the total revenue pro-
ducsd by the income tax, as he Peffer)
had Inquired the total at $15, 600 900. 1.-THE
census reports show" he said, that
81 per cent of the people of the United
States are renters, and it is to be in
ferred that about this proportion of
the land is occupied by renters. The
land OF the entire country, with i'm
proyements added, is put down as
worth SS9, ,544, ,544, 1873. Of this amount
$40, coo ,9O0, coo worth is rented
The rental on that amount at the
average rate of per cent would be
81, ,06e, ,Go0, geo. Just what proportion of
that would come under the law is an
other matter, and that could not be
gotten at accurately; but let us assume
that one-quarter- of it, or $3.50, 600, 900
worth, would be taxable income, that
would give $1,000, 600 of income tax, and
that l think very low estimate The
bonds. municipal, county and school
district, which would be subject to the
tax, amount to $500, ,213,053. Take
one-Guarter of this amount as coming
within the operations of the law, and
one derives at the rate of 2 per cent on
this amount s., ,531, ,065, or a total on the
two items of about $4,000, co.,"
Late this afternoon Commissioners
. Miller decided to require all persons
who have made returns to make affi-
dayits to the facts as to the amount
of income received from rents and

CORNER IN OIL.

Prices Go Higher Than mt Any
Time Since 'Eighty-Tvo.
PITTSBURG, April 9-Oil took an
other squirt today and at noon the
price had jumped to $1.40 This is the
highest mark since 1882. At the open
ing the Standard advanced the price
Tor cash Oil seven cents, by Offering
Sl.27 According to the last monthly
report there are only 565 certificates
for LOCO barrels each outstanding. and
that a Pittsburg house owns half of
them. The main reason for the ad-
vance is that producers are not selling
direct to the Standard. but are putting
their oil into the pipe lines and tas qg
out certificates, thus making on them
the difference between the cash price
and the speculative figures. For cash
oil $l.35 was bid on the exchange, and
1t is expected the Standard will take
another advance, and there is a pos

POOR MARJORIE.
A Duluth Faizir RuthIessIy Loses
an Eastern Girl.

- E"a>AE Ahoth1eSSIy Loses
an Eastern Girl.
The leader of the Duluth fakirs is
again busy. Hartford, Todd county,
seems to be the favorite place of locat-
ing his wierd tales. Here is one of
them, printed in the Chicago Record
of yesterday:
Long Prairie, Minn., April S.-Frank
Gallus, of Hartford, near here, was
passing along an untraveled road yes
terday when, at the old Gusinds farm,
which has not been occupied the last
winter, he noticed a buggy standing
near the barn. He broke into the
barn and found horse tied to the
manger, nearly starved to death. 1t
could not stand on it's feet, and Galius
fed 1t on dead grass, which it eagerly
deyoured, but it died in a few mo-
mentS.
Neither horse nor buggy has been
identified but it was learned today
that a week ago Saturday Frank
Whitten, a farmer below Hartford,
had been visited by a cousin from the
East, Miss Marjorie McNamara. She
had been at Hartford before, and had
several acGuaintances. Saturday a
ne1ghbor called and took her driving
Wh1tten does not remember who he
was. The girl has not returned. and
Whitten's belief that she was stay-
ing with friends in the sneighborhood
cannot be sustained.

Collector Ohligher, of this district, said
today in reference to the income tax

one-third of our expected receipts
under the income tax will be knocked
off by the decision of the supreme
court. Many owners of business blocks
have already made application to have
their return blanks altered. This, of
course, will make an enormous de-
crease in the expected revenue"
