WHEAT DECLINED AGAIN.
It Lost Five Cents a Bushel During Yes-
 terday's Trading.

New York, Aug. 27.-Wheat lost five cents bushel to-day and the lowest point was about 10 cents under the top notch for the season. There were not enough influential bulls left in the mar ket to make a respectable fight against the declining tendency. They have near everybody in the trade has been edu- cated to believe is on the eve of a bull movement. Consequently when Liver pool opened away off this morning and followed it up with further declines on later cables, the local market simply went to pieces. There was practically no support other than that afforded by little buying against puts.
 The December option settled to 95 cents on first sales, which was a clear break of cents a bushel from last night. Then it skirmished around for time, buffeted up and down by con- flicting orders, but soon settled into a steady decline, which finally landed it half an hour before the close at 93B cents From here it rallied to SAYS, where it left off. Selling was general during the day. In all 1,50O, ,000 bushels were traded in. At the close Mo- 1 northern wheat was quoted nominally $1.O6A and No. ? red 1.02A, both fob. afloat. While wheat lost about cents a bushel, corn lost less than a cent and closed pretty firm Cables were higher and foreign houses bought.

NEGROES EIENDIsH CRIME.
Assaulted a Six-Year-Old Girl-NarrowIy
 Escaped Lynching.

Kingston, N. Y, Aug. 27-James De-
 pew, the negro who assaulted the six year-old daughter of Michael Doody at Hickory Bush, several miles distant from this city, has been captured and
 is now in jail. He was taken by Spe- cial Officer James E. Bradley of Rosen-
 woods, where he was hiding. Depew
 made fierce fight for liberty, and it
 was only after desperate struggle
 that he was finally overpowered and
 handcuffed.
 Alone the officer took his prisoner to Arsen and arraigned him before Police Justice Brown, who committed him to
 jail. The news of the negro's arrest spread quickly, and as the officer emerged from the court room with his prisoner an angry mob had gathered outside, and threats of lynching were heard on all sides. The officer drew his revolver and shouted that he would shoot the man that dared lay hands on the prisoner. The crowd then followed the officer and his prisoner quietly Ar irving at the depot, there was a rush made by the crowd in an endeavor to gain possession of the negro, but un- successfully, Officer Bradley frustrating the attempt by gaining possession of the depot, where he remained with his prisoner until the train moved out, when he brought him to jail here
 Mamie Doody, who was the victim of the assault, is delirious tonight, and al- though her death is not apprehended at present, serious results are feared. as the child was terribly frightened.
 It was this morning about 10 o'clock that the child, in company with her older sister, was wandering about the hills back of her home searching for berries. The negro. who was wander ing about the hills, spied them and gave chase. The older girl being fleet of foot escaped the negro, but her little sister was not so fortunate and fell into the negros clutches. The brute seized her slender throat with his hands as she screamed, and choked her nearly in- sensible. After accomplishing his mr. pose the negro fled, leaving his uncon- sclous victim lying on the ground. Her sister bore her to her home When the news of the outrage was circulated in the community hundreds of cement miners left their work and, armine themselves, started after the negro de- claring that if they caught him they would hang him.

SHIPPED PAUPERS TO CANADA. How Wards of New Hampshire County
 MysteriousIy Disappeared,

Lancaster, N. H., Aug. 27.-Consider- able of sensation was caused in this vicinity to-day when it was learned that two helpless inmates of the coun- ty poorhouse, West Stewartstown, who. it was alleged, had been shipped to Canada to be left there without means of further assistance, had been return- ed to that institution by the Canadian authorities. It is claimed that this dis closure reveals a practice that has been followed for long time and that many inmates who have disappeared myste- riously during recent years have thus been sent away and all trace of them lost. It is understood that the Cana dian authorities are greatly agitated over the affair, and trouble may re- suit

AMERIoA's CHAMPION ATH1ETEs.
They Will Compete in Various Events on
 Manhattan Field TO-daY.

New York, Aug 27.-The annual na-
 tional championship meeting of the A. A. U., which will take place tomorrow afternoon at Manhattan field, has aroused the interest of the followers of track and field athletics. The cinder track has been carefully prepared and is fast. The representatives of the Chi cago A. A., who have been quartered at the New York A. C.'s country home for the past week are all in excellent condition with the exception of Rich- ards, the hurdler, who injured his foot early in the week. He has rested since, but says he will compete.
 The meeting between Maybury, the western sprinter, and Champion Wefers in the 100 and 200 yards run is looked forward to with the greatest interest. Both men are in excellent condition, and each has quite a large following of friends, who are betting liberally on the result. Mike Murphy and Ed Moul- ton, their respective trainers, are equal ly confident of their men. There are ten men entered for the quarter and all of them can do better than 51 sec- onds.
 The half mile run looks a certainty for Deacon" Turner, while Manvel of New Jersey should finish ahead of Bro- die of Montreal. The latter is favorab- ly spoken of for the one, mile run iii which Orton and Cregan are entered Orton may have to run for the Toron- to Lacrosse club instead of the New York A. c. and if so the event will un- doubtedly go to the Canadians.
 The western murders seemingly hold the eastern men safe over the sticks and through the efforts of Kraenzlein and Richards first honors in the high and low hurdles should go to Chicago.
 John Flanagan and Edgren will meet in the weight-putting and ham, mer and discus throwing events. F'lannagan's work with the hammer this year has been wonderful, but his friends say he can throw it over 16O feet. Edgren since he came from Cal ifornia has worn the cherry diamond of the Knickerbocker A. c. He has never been In first class condition since his arrival here but as he had trained very carefully for some time past he will acquit himself creditably on this occasion.
 The discus throwing will be new feature of the programme, and if all accounts be true Henneman of Chicago should beat his competitors.
 Myer Prinstein of Syracuse is fav- orite for the broad jump, while the con- test for the high jump is a very open open. Sam Eibegold and w. B. Felter- man. jr., should give an interesting ex- hibition in the mile walk and Powell of New York A. c. ought to win the bicycle race.
