MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS. S pit 11.-Wheat prices con-
tirued to move today with the irregularity
which now become familiar. Wheat opened
weak at &c under yesterdays closing price
for December, gained a little during the first
half hour, lost that advance and ruled very
weak up to II o'clock, losing 1%c from last
nights close. Trading was light and indicated
and also a weakness on the part of holders.
The news of the day was rather meager. be-
ing confined to cables, market prices at the
different wheat centers and wheat movement
lower; firmed IN to 961s d9614c, sold at s4a1c
by 11:5O and closed at 95c. December wheat
opened at CSC, against 93Ac Yesterday lost
&c, advanced to 93A@933sc dropped to 92c,
gained 1sc. lost 1sc, f1rmed up to 921s@92Ac,
sold at $3.50 by 1:50 and closed at Size.
There was less snap in the cash wheat mar
ket today. The best grades sold well on the
same basis that ruled yesterday SC over De-
cember for new and 12G13c over for old.
Low grades were slower relatively.

long run. There will be no more fifty
cent wheat for many a long year
There are also heavy exports of corn
this year, but the price of corn has adj
vanced but little compared with that
of wheat. This is due partly to the
fact that the 1897 crop will be enor-
nous, and there is not the same de-
mand for it in other countries that
there is for wheat.

SHOT HER LOVER.
Trial of Eliza White for killing Andy
Harvey Was Begun Yes

The trial of Eliza White, the young col
'ed woman who shot and killed her lover,
andy Harvey, on Sunday, June 2S 1886,
commenced in the common pleas court yes
terday morning. The entire day was spent
in challenging jurors, and about twenty
were excused before twelve eligible men
were found. The trial VIII begin this morn
ing by the introduction of the states evil
dence.
II is understood that the defense will set
up the claim of self-defense, and that Har-
vey was in the habit of abusing her. About
week before the tragedy took place Miss
White rejected Harvey and shortly after
that. while she was riding in a car on the
Elevated road with another young man,
Harvey entered the car and threatened to
kill her. AS ii happened Sergeant Kinnan
was a passenger on the car. and the re-
jected young lover was locked up on the
charge of disturbing the peace. Shortly aft
er this occurred young Harvey sent word
10 Miss White to meet him at the corner of
Tenth street and Freeman avenue. The
young woman, fearing that he would as
sault her, concealed revolver in the folds
of her dress. on meeting him he began to
abuse her and knocked her down, where
upon she drew the revolver and shot him
twice. one bullet entering the abdomen and
one entering the right arm.
Harvey lived about two weeks after the
shooting, but died from the injuries in
Bethany hospital.
When County Attorney Miller finished
reading the complaint yesterday he asked
At this point her attorney. John Hale,
arose and said that the defense would re-
fuse to plead to this charge, on the grounds
that the complaint did not state facts
which constitute an offense under the law.
BY refusing to plead the woman admits
the shooting. but denies the criminal of
fense attached to II. The trial will prob
ably last several days.

The police commissioners met in special

result of this caucus, ten men are out of
Jobs and ten idle men were given jobs as
policemen. The ten men removed are: j.

people of this city TO feel kindly Cd to-
wards the commissioners, and that as the
fact that two of the new policemen are
eX-jointists. In fact, one Of them was ar
rested some time ago for running u policy
game on North Third street: The names of
these two men are Russell Eurdett and
S. II. Quillen. They are deserving Popu-
lists and were taken care of.
The commissioners will have 10 excuse
TO offer the public for their act. They will
not be able to plead innocence, as the
names of these new policemen are record
ed on the police court docket.

sofa avenue, in speaking about the ap-
pointments, said that he was not sur
prised, as he thought the board was living
up to its threat chat II would run out all

police force.
The appointments last night were the
first changes made by the new board
among the patrolmen, and If the good
work is kept up this city can boast of
an unequaled police force by the time the
reorganization is completed. The only bad
feature about il is that If the board per-
sists in appointing jointists. the revenue
derived from this source will be greatly
reduced, unless new men can be found to
handle the liquor traffic.
