The Tennis Championship.

Boston, July 3O.-In the semi-final
round of the Longwood tennis tourna-
ment today William A. Larned of Sum-
NIT, n. j., defeated H. A. Nesbitt of
England in three straight sets, prov
ing himself easily the superior of the
foreigner in all points of the same.
Later Larned disposed of ]. D. Forbes
of Harvard in the final round of the
tournament and tomorrow will meet R.
D. Wrenn. possessor of the Longwood
cup, now held by Wrenn, but in which
Larned has already two of the neces-
sary legs. AT the same time tomorrow
G.. L. Wrenn and Whitman will meet
Mahoney and Nesbitt for the eastern
championship in doubles.
After today's game it seems reason
able to say that the tennis Champion
ship of this country will stay on this
side of the water. In the game today
between Larned and Nesbitt, Nesbitt
managed to keep Larned at work until
the last making the third set a van
tage one Nesbitt today seemed unable
to reach that brilliancy of play which
was the feature of his match with
Eaves on Tuesday.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago, July 3O-Wheat commenced
with a great demand for September at
from "A to 741a. Very little was Sc
cured at "a at the opening, During
the opening hours the price advanced
to 747s, reacted irregularly to 1875 and
rose again at .11:20 O'Clock to the for
mer highest point. The trade in the pit
during the time of these fluctuations
was both active and heavy. The Liv-
erpOol market was firm and Paris
strong New York wired early in the
day that the continent was buying
wheat and Liverpool selling it. Cable
grams said the continent was having
heavy rains, and as the wheat harvest
is in progress that was construed bull
lishly. The primary market receipts
amounted to 100000 bushels against
$4,000 bushels on the corresponding day
of the year before. Kansas City re-
ceipts today were 21S,GaO bushels. A
year ago they were $1,000 bushels.
On the bulge to 751s@75Sz, the offer
ings grew amazingly large and Septem-
Der dropped with thud to 74A, rally
ing only u cent. The big bull interest
in July which has been the subject
of muon speculation was announced as
finally closed today, the last holdings
having been dumped on the swell 10
75%. Plenty of September wheat was
also thrown over.
September wheat opened asQA cent
higher at 74@74ss, sold to 747s@74$s, up
irregularly to 75% @753s, down 40 74A
and closed at 741s, a net gain of q.
The trade in corn was very heavy
and the market strong until within 80
minutes of the close. Some few sensa-
tionally large transactions were made
which attracted considera bic attention.
One firm bought and another sold in
one lot 100000 bushels and in an
other lot 600 bushels. The demand
was because of widespread belief in
considerable damage to the crop in
Kansas and Nebraska, but reports
from these states on the subject were
very conflicting.

Provisions ruled strong and trade was
active.

HAIFIELD'S ESCAPE.
WHO HAS KILLED
EIGHTEEN MEN.
One Hundred People Looking For
the Notorious Outlaw, But He
Will Not Be Captured Alive.

Huntington, w. Va, July .3O-Captain
Hatfiead the notorious outlaw, who es-
capped from jail yesterday morning, is
still at large. Bioodhounds and bands Of
men are securing the mountains in pur-
s.:3t of him. A reward of 500 is offered
for his body, dead or alive
Hatfield escaped by cutting hole in an
ei gnfeen-inch prick wall in the Msngo
county JAIL and then made his way to the
same mountains where he lived for TWEEN
" years evad4ng the authorities during
all his trouble with the McEoyS. His
wife called on him the day before and 1t
is believed she left a Ratchet. this being
the weapon used TO make his escape.
HatfieId'S trial for the murder OF Will
lam rutherford comes up in September
Hatfield had some trouble with Ruther-
ford on election day last November. 1t
ended in Hatfield killing Rutherford, his
nephew and an election inspector named
Chambers. Hatfield, after the triple kill
ing took, TO the mountains with MS son
and tor two days defied pursuit. Then
he went to sleep on sentry duty and
awoke TO find himself a prisoner.
Hatfield has probably killed eighteen
men, and trials for flaf dozen OF these
murders yet confronted him. More than
one hundred persons are now searching
for him, but II is believed that he wal

JoBBING TRADE IMPROVED.
Large Wheat Crop Causes This
Condition.

New York, July 30.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow viii say: The unexpectedly
early fall demand for staple merchan-
disc which Bradstreet's announced last
week is pronounced, although not con-
spicuouS at some of the larger eastern
cities, which it is approaching, is not
ably so at points il the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys, and in the larger
wheat growing states. A special inVes-
tigation by Bradstreets this week
shows that increased purchases by
country merchants in the regions spec
flied, based on the speculatively large
wheat crop at home in the face of
short wheat crops abroad, has in
creased business with western iobbers
from 10 to 20 per cent, compared with
fall trade at a like period last year. The
total volume of this new business is
not large, but it is unusual in this. the
dull month of the year, and is increas-
ing.
"A number of western implement
factories are unable to Fill all their or
ders for nearby delivery, and one or
der for shoes alone at st. Louis calls

sion among wooden manufacturers is
less pronounced. because prices of

Fewer manufacturing industries than

the majority of the board favor. and have
decided upon. believe firmly that these
methods must eventually make sneaks

your dissent from the position of your

A Case Against the Milkman.

II have a dead sure case against my
milkman," said a prominent railroad
official TO a New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat reporter. He waters my milk,
and 1 have or rather my wife has,
caught him dead to rights. The other
day. when we got our usual quantity
of milk, my wife was pouring some
from the can into a glass. She heard
something hit the glass with a kind
of dull thud. and could see something
dark in the bottom of the glass. Pour
ing it carefully out into a vessel, what
do you suppose she found? A live
crawfish, by Jcve. A big, lusty fellow,
VINO seemed just as happy and con-
tented as though he were working on
an embryo crevasse in a levee- Now,
do you mean to tell me that my milk
man did not pour water into the milk?
He put a great deal of it in, too. The
fact probably is that he dipped a big
bucket of water I'D and put it in the
milk. His crawfishship got in the can
that way"

THE BIG FOUR TRAIN WRECK.
Engineer, Fireman and Two Tramps
Were Killed.


Cincinnati, July 30.-The Times-Star
special from Thorntown, Ind, says the
Chicago express on the Big Four, due
in Cincinnati at a. H., was wrecked
about 2:3O o'clock. A couplingpin had
been driven into the switch so as TO
hold it open and throw the fast train
from Chicago to Cincinnati off the
track as it passed this point The en-
CINE and tender, the MAIL express and
baggage cars were thrown from the
track and wrecked. The coaches and
Wagner sleeping cars remained on the
track and none of the passengers were
seriously hurt, although they had a
lively shaking up. 1t is reported that
none in the cars that were thrown
from the track were seriously hurt
Seth Winslow, the engineer, and B.
Crickmere, the fireman, and two un-
identified tramps were killed outright
While there were many reports about
the number injured, there were none
seriously hurt, although many were so
badly frightened at first as TO give
credence TO the reports about many
being injured.
The train was passing Tnorntown at
high speed when the engine struck the
switch that had been opened and fast
ened open. The two tramps who were
killed were stealing ride on the front
end Of the mail car and their remains
cannot be identified.
A relief car was sent from Indian
apolis to Thorntown early this morn
ing and as soon as the track was
cleared a new train was made up for
Cincinnati and the other points
Indianapolis, Ind, July 30.-The
opinion is entertained at the head
quarters of the Big Four that the
Thorntown train wreckers had hoped
to destroy coal train about due
General Manager Schaff has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of the wreckers.
