Chicago Change,

Chicago, Aug. 9-It was too hot for busi- ness today and wheat traders transacted as little as possible. The session being devoted mainly to the effort to keep cool One or two inveterate scalpers kept things from going entirely to sleep, but even their opera tions were on an extremely moderate scale. The long side seemed to present the most favorable aspects for making a turn and for that reason the buying was a trifie August report being due tomorrow had a tendency to restrict business.
 During the morning corn, by virtue of it's strength. aided in sustaining wheat values. September wheat opened from 6ia4 to 677sc, sold between 6IasA67A and 6Sl4c, closing at 6S1sc, A@3sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and shade higher. ~ Corn-The pressure to sell September corn was absent today. Much of yesterday S weakness in that option was caused by the a defunet Boston firm. With the selling out of that corn the market resumed normal condition, subject to regular news and in fuences. September corn opened from 39i4 6l391ac, advanced to 4014c and closed at 39& @s97sc 5s4Ac higher than yesterday. In the sample department prices were firm and 1ac per bushel higher.
 oats-The situation was unaltered The demand for September was unusually good and it was difficult to buy enough to exc cute orders without advancing prices The firmness was received from the other mar kets, no information either for or against values coming to hand. September oats closing unchanged. Cash oats were un- changed
 Provisions-Porlx was hard to buy today, and prices were advanced on that. account. The other speculative articles on the floor being strong and hogs showing an appre- an advance for their property. The full gain was not sustained throughout, but the tone firm one even at recessions. Lard and ribs profited by the better feeling of pork. September pork closed 2lsc higher. September lard 2lac lower and September ribs DC higher.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

 Today's features: It was about as still as a statue today unless it has the low hum of the singing statue of Memnon. There was little noise, for most operators were content to await developments. They wish to see what the bureau report will be to- morrow. Some think the condition will be S4 or S5 per cent against a condition last month of S23 and last year of 91.S, while in 1893 this time it was S0.4 and in 1892 S2.3 Some rain was reported in Texas, but it was light and not well distributed at all. The Liverpool advices on the other hand were rather disappointing This, just about bal anced the news ledger and prices did not move decidedly, either upward or downward and they closed just about where they stood last night.

New York, Aug 9.-Specuation at the stock exchange started off quietly enough was but two movements that attracted at Jention. General Electric disappointed it's friends declining 19s to 36A, despite the re- newed dqtalk about arrangements looking to a working agreement with it's leading com petitors. The weakness of the stock in duced the. bears to sell the grangers, but it was found uphill work to press this stock especially as Manhattan and other special ties showed unwonted strength. Manhattan was really the banner stock of the day. rislsing with scarcely reaction of impor- tance from 116 to 119A. with final sales at planation for the rise than covering of a large short interest made some time ago. was forthcoming. In the remainder of the ings of long stocks and the bears were considerably disturbed both on this account and because of the fact that the gold en- agreements for tomorrow's steamers were comparatively small and that the frost news from the west yesterday failed to material ize. On the contrary the accounts from the corn growing regions are most hatterng, and it is beginning to be acknowledged even is already assured. The effects of this was seen in the stock market during the after noon and Missouri Pacific and the grangers moved up F to 1A per cent, without bring ing out any large amounts of stocks. Vest ern Union was also taken in hand and ad- I polntsiiand Pullman per Ac cent.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Beautiful Mrs. Howe Must Answer For the
Death of Her Stepson.

Beautiful Mrs, Howe Must Answer For the
Death of Her stepson.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 9.-There
is great indignation here on account
of the developments in the inquest
over remains of the little 3-year-old
son of Mr.. M. s.. Howe, who died un-
der suspicious circumstances about a
week ago.
The evidence disclosed the facts thai
Mrs. Howe, the second wife of M. s.
Howe, and the children's stepmother.
had been guilty of the most brutal
treatment toward all of the children,
and especially Tommie, the little tot
now dead.
Two of the children, Fred and Har-
ry, aged respectively II and 9, told OF
how Mrs. Howe had beat them and
threatened their lives on divers occa-
sions if they complained to their ia
ther; and finally, Fred was forced to
leave home, Mrs. Howe threatening to
kill him if he ever returned. He
found kind people at Coalburg who
took him in and he was away when
his little brother died.
The other boy, Harry, gave horri-
BILE account of the treatment of the
baby the morning it died. He said
Mrs. Howe caught the child up and
threw it out into the yard, breaking a
hole in its head. Blood came out of
the little ones mouth, after she had
iabbed stick into it's throat.
There was other damaging testimony
against the woman, one party, con-
stable, swearing that the woman had
once been an inmate of lewd house
in this city and frequented the lowest
quarter of the town.
A negro woman swore to the cruel
treatment of the children by Mrs.
Howe and said that on two occasions
she saw Mrs. Howe whip the baby
with her hands because it insisted
upon holding its breath. =
The testimony of the two little boys,
which was given in straightforward
manner, seemed to fall with convinc-
ing force upon the ears of the Jurors,
and they were prompt in reaching, a
verdict charging the woman with the
crime of murder.

Shielded on bis Wife's Grave.

CHAPMAN, Kas., Sept. 9.-John
Crowley, an old resident, disappeared
last Wednesday, and was searched for
in vain. At 10 o'clock today he was
found dead at the foot of his wife's
grave in the Catholic cemetery, where
he had committed suicide. Worms
had eaten his face and body so that
he was unrecognizable, except by his
clothing. His wife, who died some
time ago, had been mourned deeply by
the suicide, and lately he had been
very respondent.

IT is said by the New York Sun that
the German smokeless power is unsat

even nostrils accustomed to the ripe
cheese of the Fatherland cannot en-
dure it. Who knows that blank car
tridges of the stuff may be sufficient
to put the enemy to flight.
