COR WHAT HE RESERVED.

1t was at the corner of Main and Sec
ond South streets about o'clock last
evening. A couple of men of questionable
characters stood conversing on the corner
when a lady, the wife of one of our prom
inent citizens, happened to pass. The two
strangers made some remarks about the
lady entirely uncalled for. They were
ignorant of the fact that the lady's hus-
band stood near by and overheard their
vulgar talk. No sooner had the express
sions escaped their mouths when the hus-
band walked over to one of the individuals
and let go his left, which landed on
the stanger's jaw, lifting him clean off
his feet and stretching his body in the
gutter. A few gentlemen who had gath
cred at the corner and overheard the con-
versation applauded the husband for his
act, while the niscreant who acted as
target crawled TO his feet, brushed off his
clothes and skunk away like whipped
dog. His companion also made tracks.

A LIsbrEss DAY ON CHANGE.
Brokers Have Spring Fever and Do
But little Trading.

The call on the floor of the stock
and mining exchange yesterday was
not characterized by any high or spir-
tied bidding, and sales were few and
far between.
From all indications most of the
brokers had that tired feeling" that
we hear so much about, and as seats
were conveniently near, many of them
remained seated during the call, and
now it is proposed, if the condition of
the treasury of the exchange will
stand the pressure, to bring in sofas
and camp beds for members who feel
TOO listless to stand up during the call
Of the listed stocks AJAX was some

Every business house in the city, ex-

body has been turned toward caring
for the wounded and dead, the number
of which is hourly increasing from
deaths in the hospitals and bodies
found in the subsiding streams.
The city's street grading force, sup
plemented by large number of men,

dress in Chicago.

dress IN chicago.
CHICAGO, May 16.-Despite a severe
rain storm. the Auditorium was filled this
evening when Governor Altgeld delivered
his address on the free silver question.
He prefaced his remarks with the asser-
ton that the hard times which have af-
fiicted the country were due entirely to
the great reduction in the volume of
money in the world, incident to the de-
troying of silver as a money metal. He
then gave a detailed description of the
origin and progress of the movement in
favor of free silver and quoted number
of authorities for the coinage of silver at
16 to l. He declared himself heartily in
favor of an international agreement on
the silver question if it could be reached,
but he said he thought this country large
waiting forever for the nations to come
around to any way of thinking that
America way have decided upon as favor
able for itself He said America should
lead the way in this thing and that the
others would follow in short time. Even
if it proved impossible to bring about an
international agreements thing, he de-
clared, that the national administration
declared itself in favor and which it took
no pains to bring abcut-this country was
big enough to go it alone. 1t might de-
tent, but as our foreign trade is only
5 per cent. of the entire volume of bust
ness. the country did not stand to lose
much by any Generalization of trade with
other countries.
The address was confined entirely to
the silver question, and was greeted with
much applause by the audience.
