VIII Race No More.

There was fatal accident on the
state fair track where horses were
being speeded. 1t was horse, and not
human being, however, that was the
victim. Sapphire, 4-year old runner,
belonging to Michael Lynch of St Paul.
was being logged on the track by a
boy. Some horses loose in the infeld
came running up Sapphire reared
suddenly and launched heavily against
the post, striking his head in such po-
sition that his neck was broken and he
fell to the ground dead. The colt was
worth about $500. and his loss is keenly
mourned by his owner, who had great
expectations of him.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
Dead In q Bath Room.

James Cullen, the proprietor of
bottling house at PSI Hennepin avenue,
Minneapolis, was found dead in the
Turkish bath parlors of the Guaranty
Loan building early Saturday morning.
Cullen engaged in fistic alteration
with James Gallagher Friday night be-
fore closing up. As a result of the fight
Gallagher was thrown out of the place
by Cullen, who was a large, heavy
man Gallagher left with broken
arm, threatening arrest for assault and
battery.
The bar tender states that Cullen was
drinking heavily Friday night and after
the fight left the saloon, saying that he
was going to take bath at the Guar
anty Loan parlors. An attendant at
the parlors found Cullen's dead body on
one of the lounges at $3.50 o'clock in the
morning.
The body of Cullen was removed to
the county morgue and cursory ex-
animation Of it gave rise to the suppo-
sition that something besides heart dis
ease was responsible for the mans
death. In several places on the body
the skin had peeled off, giving the i'm
preston that the man had been sub
iected to intense heat.

CONFIDENCE INCREASED,
The Business Situation Helped by the
Gold Imports.

Gold Imports.
New York, Sept 5.-R. G. Dun q Co.,
in their weekly review Of trade, say:
There Is a distinct increase of conf
dence, due largely to the continuing and
heavy imports OF gold which have put an
end to monetary anxiety, and also to polit-
ical events which are closely watched.
While il does not yet start more mills and
factories than are closing for want of work,
1t crops out IN heavy speculative purchases
Of pig iron, wool and some other materials,
By experienced men who believe that a re-
vival of business is not far of, and for the
first time in nearly two months slight
upward turn appears in prices of manufac-
tured products. The same spirit appears In
speculation.
Wheat had suddenly risen a week ago,
but reacted with better crop news until
Thursday. when another advance came of
one cent, making the net decline for the
week is cents. Western receipts continued
large, 5,Z5, 706 bushels for the week, against
4,550, 10a last year, making the increase since
July l about L, 000, 900 or 81 per cent At
lantic exports are also large, -four included
29S2, 963 bushels against 1,34l,352 last year,
and since July l, Is, ,55l bushels, against
u,315,s45 last year, a gain Of SO per cent
Gloomy stories find little support il such
returns. Corn has reached, at Chicago, the
lowest point ever touched, % cents in 1851,
clining to 257s cents, at which II closed.
Cotton fell to 7.E cents, but with revival OF
confidence rose to ESQ., although the pros
pect is clearly more favorable than some
weeks ago.
After many weeks OF decline. so that the
average of prices for iron and its products
was the lowest since early last year, prices
have started up a shade. Heavy specula-
tive purchases of Bessemer at the west and
of southern iron here the latter mainly
by New Workers at S.. 40 for No. 2, and s5.e
for grey forge, have so strengthened the
market that Bessemer at Pittsburgh COM
Gus associations have not reduced prices,
believing that il would not stimulate de-
mand at present, which Is extremely mar
row and as yet shows no Improvement
THE starting of some wooden mills which
have been idle and accommodating orders for
a shoyt run, is still balanced by the stop
ping of others, and the volume Of orders
does not increase. No gain as yet appears
in demand or prices. But marked specu-
lative buying of wool shows belief that
prices will improve. Cotton goods are
growing stronger, more grades having ad-
vanceo, and though sales are moderate,
there are more buyers, indicating exhauS-
ton of dealers stocks.
THE volume Of trade Indicated by clear
ings was for the week 10.7 per cent. less
than last year. Exports of merchandise
for the week were 20 per cent, and for the
past month 1873 per cent larger than last
year, while imports were for the week -
smaller, and for the month Is per cent.
smaller than last year

Booms Will Close

The boom companies have been or
dered to close their booms on Sept. u.
This action was decided upon in a joint
meeting of all the log owners in Min
neapolis, held in the offices of the Mis-
sissippi & Rum River Boom company.
Immediate steps are to be taken to
place all the logs now in the booms in
a condition of safety, also so that they
may be gotten at with the greatest con-
venience next spring. The sentiment
of the log owners was unanimously in
favor of closing the mills at the earli-
est possible date, and the only reason
that the date was not set for one week
earlier was that certain of the mill
owners, Backus, Nelson Tennev, Day,
and one or two others desired little
longer time to cut in order that they
might be in condition TO meet all the
orders attendant upon their spring
trade.
The decision to close the booms Sept.
u means that the mills of Minneapolis
will cease cutting lumber one week
later, thus throwing out of employ
ment hundreds of men.

Stung by Bees.

The a-year old daughter of John Han
SON, of Winona, was nearly stung to
death by bees. The little child had
wandered into the yard of neighbor,
where bees are kept, and began to
amuse herself by poking at the hives
with a stick. This greatly angered
the bees, and they came out in swarms
and covered the whole body of the little
intruder. The child was literally one
mass of stings, and the two attending
physicians pulled hundreds of stings
out of her body. 1t was at first thought
that the wounds would result fatally,
but the little suffer is somewhat i'm
proved. and her recovery is now hoped
for. In attempting to rescue her two
women from the house where the bees
were kept were also badly stung in
trying to save the child

Lost $4,000.

A dispatch from Chicago states that
James L. Sprague, a patent claim
agent of Minneapolis, arrived there
over the Lake Shore road from Buffalo,
\. Y. He got into a political argu-
ment near the Van Buren, street station,
and offered to bet that statement he
made could be substantiated. and at
the same time pulled out roll Of bills
amounting to 81. 200. The bet was not
taken, and he. with eight persons, en-
tered Parmalee bus to be driven to
downtown hotel just after entering
the bus he discovered that his roll was
gone. He ordered the driver to stop
and asked the passengers to allow him
to search them. They refused, where
upon he called Patrolman Beechter,
who had the whole crowd taken to the
Harrison street station. The money
was not recovered, and it is thought
that a clever pickpocket, seeing
Sprague flash the roll took it while the
Minneapolis man got into the bus. -
