WHEAT MARKET WAY UP.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 16.-Wheat
recovered and in the local market
went higher than before. All day
several leading exporters were heavy
buyers and the destination of much
of the wheat thus bought is said to
be India and Australia. Instead of
Chicago prices influencing this mark
ct, the local market now guides other
spectators, for California has cap
tured the first of the demand from
India and Australia. There is no tel
ling how extensively this demand
may spread to other points of supply.s
May wheat sold at $1.3619 and De-
cember rose to S1.3S 5-S.

FAST LAKE FREIGHTER.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 16.-One of the
most interesting and exciting contests
that ever took place on the lakes end
ed when the 400 foot steel freighter
the Z. W. Ogleby, steamed into port
nearly an hour ahead Of her rival,
the Owego, after a race from Cleve-
land to Chicago. The Owego was ac-
knowledged, previous to this race, to
be the fastest boat among the freight
ers, and her title to this distinction
was never questioned until the result
of the race which has just terminal
ed, was made known.
The Ogleby broke all previous rec
ords by making the trip from the

hours and six minutes.

es or new developments, before the
day is out are likely to come about.
Walter COhn, chairman of the regu-
lars First district committee, cOnsid-
ers that an injustice was done him
when it was stated Cohn had been
made to "disgorge" monies that had
been given to him TO secure the nom
ination of State Senator Roman.
Coin denies that he ever received
one cent from Mr. Roman or any
of that gentleman's friends, and so
far as the hall hire is concerned it
only amounted to $3.50 and that sum
was paid by Cohn out of his own
pocket. Cohn admits that Roman
was thrown down" at the last min
ute, but positively denies he had any
part in the work, as personally he
preferred the state senator, but hav-
ing an axe Of his own to grind at the
convention he had to abide by the
will of the others who fought Roman.
.COhn is always a pleasant, respectful
fellow, and even those who fight him
hardest give him credit for being toll
erably straight, as colored politicians
go these days.
Henry Demas arrived in town this
forenoon. AS soon as he reached
Herwig headquarters there was a
hurried call issued for a committee
meeting,and the ex-state senator went
into a causcus with them. While
he could not be interviewd by the
press representatives, the friends of
Demas say that he returns to New
Orleans full of fight and fortitude
with the renewd expressions of sup
port given to him by the national Re-
publican committee. Captain VIM
berly seems TO have missed connec-
tiOns, his arrival having been expect
ed this morning.

Texans Don't Know Anything About
1t But New Workers Do.
New York, Oct. 16.-Hettie Green's
son. e. II. r. Green, of the Texas and
Midland railway,who is pursuing "a
vigorous campaign for governor of
Texas on the Republican ticket is in
bIissful ignorance of the fact that Jno.
A. Stevens, actor and playwright,is
preparing legal bombshell for him in
this city. Last season Mr.. Green put
up the necessary wealth to launch
Gladys Wallis and Joseph Cawthorne
as new stars in the professional fir
mament. 1t is said that Green lost
$4,000 on this venture and hoped to
make up this loss from Cawthorne's
tour, which however, brought Mr..
Green's loss to nearly $4,000. John
w. Dunno is alleged to have been Mr..
Green's agent and his contract was to
pay Stevens $500 down and $50 a
week for the use of the play. Mr..
Stevens says Hetty's son failed to live
up to his agreement and. says $500 is
still due him. Dunue referred the
matter to Green, who, Stevens says,
refused to make good the amount and
therefore will be sued for it.

At War.

New York, Oct. 16.--A special to
the Herald from Boston, Mass, says:
Several members of the Chinese Chris
tian Union filed charges with the po-

out, would result in the assassination
Of all the members of the union.

nished to the police which would
land all of the gamblers in Jail. The
charges created sensation in China
town, and it will be long time before
things get quiet again.

SHORT SNAPS.

The plenary committee cannot pull
Tom Johnson down to save CaSSianO.
The majority of the a. p. A. people
will not be led into the Slayden mouse
trap.
II. o. Skinner is an American-Hot
stuff, and is not appealing to the ig-
norant, purchasable vote.
II. o. Skinner cannot be pulled
down by any plenary committee in
the interest of Joe Cassiano.
The Light is not going to waste its
space fighting newspapers or adver-
Using impecunious, so-called report
erS.
The plenary committee was appoint
ed to fill vacancies, not to pull down
candidates in the interest of Thad
and Joe.
The $500 offered a colored man to
try and leave blank on the Republi-
can ticket in the interest of Cassiano
failed to work.
The Light has no space, nor time to
devote to replying to deliberate false
hoods, manufactured by crazy men
or old drunken bloats.
Ben Kiolbassa has been dropped
from the brick yard ticket because
he declined to have his leg pulled by
the assessment committee.
The Express says the campaign has
reached the affidavit stage. No it
has reached the lying stage so far as
the PopOcrats are concerned.
1t is about time the Indians were
turned out of the fat offices in BeXar
county. Tom Johnson is not running
in the interest of Joe Cassiano.
A man is in desperate straits when
he resorts to deliberate lying on any
and all occasions, to vent his personal
tpleen because he did not get a fat
Job.
As usual the smart alec POpOcratic
writers for the local combines think
they are doing something smart by
throwing mud at Col. Newcomb, but
the Col. bears with patience their i'm
beetle assaults.
While Mr.. Jay Adams has not
personal acquaintance with Tom John
son. he knows pretty well that the
said Tom johnson is opposed to such
foolishness as Sunday laws and pro-
hibition.
In the interest of Thad and Joe, the
brick yard city hall ticket, have plac-
ed the assessment at $1,000 for each
office. so as to keep off good men who
would run. If they are sincere, why
don't they fill up the two blanks with
good men for collector and county
clerk.
"COl. James Parkhurst NewcOmb"
and editor 'Tom Johnson" never call
ed on ''Tom Daugherty" or "Jay Adj
ans the Denverite," or in any manner
offered these gentlemen places on the
Republican ticket; consequently there
must be a bold faced anannias in the
Ticintiy of Commerce street bridge.
Sf&
T. E. Daugherty and Jay Adams
have evidently been imposed upon by
some one. in soliciting them to run
for sheriff. As Tom Johnson is not
on the plenary committee, he is not
a candidate in the interest of Thad
and Joe, apd has not the pleasure of
the acquaintance of either Mr.. Daugh
erty or Mr.. Jay Adams.

The First English Colony in America.

A monument erected on the site of old
Fort Raleigh, on Roanoke Island, North
Carolina, to commemorate the first settle
ment of the English race in America, has
recently been dedicated. 1t was erected
under the auspices of the Roanoke Colony
Memorial association. The base of the
monument is of North Carolina granite,
the memorial tablet of Virginia granite
The tablet bears the following inscription:
son this site in July, 1885, colonists
sent from England by Sir Walter Raleigh,
built fort called by them the New Fort
in Virginia. These colonists were the
first settlers Of the English race in Amer
lea. They returned to England in July,
1886, with Sir Francis Drake. Here was
born, August Is, 1887, Virginia Dare, the
first child of English parents born in Amer
lea, daughter of Ananias Dare and Eleanor
White, his wife, members of another band
of colonists sent by Sir Walter Raleigh in
1887. Two days after birth she was bap-
tized. Mant, the friendly chief of the
Hatteras Indians, had been baptized the
Sunday preceding. These are the first
known celebrations of the Christian sacra-
ment in the territory of the thirteen orig
inal United States"
The monument was dedicated with reli-
gious exercises, an address and the sing
ing of "America." The outlines of Fort
Raleigh are distinctly visible, and the an
giles are now permanently marked by gran
ite posts.

Train Held Up in the City Limits of St.

The Iron Mountain fast express train, outgoing,
was held up one mile from the st. Louis union
station within the city limits Wednesday night by
six masked men. One of the men stood in the
centre Of the track and waved a red lantern
sgnlfying that danger was ahead. The engineer
stopped the train, and no sooner had he done so
than two masked men jumped on the engine cab
and putting revovers TO his head told him to
hold the engine still on pain OF death. Two of
the other robbers made for ths express car while
the remaining two stood guard outside. The car
door was blown open with dynamite, but it was
found that the money was in a time-locked safe
