Probate Court-Judge cleveland.


A hearing was held in the probate
court yesterday morning over the as
signment Of the Rovers' Wheel club.
The club failed a week ago owing
about $500, but now several members
want the assignment withdrawn. 1t is
urged by the dissenters that the faction
which made the assignment did so
without giving proper notice. The de-
cision to make the assignment was ar
rived at in regular meeting, but the
intention to make the assignment was
not advertised in the call for the meet
ing.
The men VINO opposed the assign
ment, it is said, constitute three-fourths
of the members of the club They want
the assignment withdrawn so that the
club can settle it's debts, and if they are
defeated in this and the assignment
must go through the probate court,
they oppose Louis e. Jacobs as trustee
Jacobs has been nominated. but they
want H. w. Mansfield to serve in that
capacity.

who swindled so many merchants about
the city by posing as an unfortunate
brakeman who had lost his arm and
was struggling to get money enough
to buy an artificial arm, was found
guilty yesterday morning in the court
of common pleas. Sentence was de-
ferred until this morning.
In the city court he was found guilty
and sentenced on sixteen cases. The
total term in all amounted to about
thirty-f1ve months, and he took an ap-

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 2l.-The yacht CO.
manche touched this port at half. past : o'clock
this morning with Senator Hanna and party on
board. The Senator was feeling we'll after his
three weeks trip up the lakes. On Monday SEN
ator Hanna will turn the Comanche toward

Mrs. Mckinley, Gen. Algcr. Mr.. and Mrs. Gar
ret A. Hobart. and Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Addison

Thursday morning, and will be Senator Hanna's
guests for several days. The President and
Mrs. Mckinley will remain here until Aug. 81,
when they will attend the wedding OF Miss
Hayes at Fremont. The President will then
attend the reunion of his old regiment at Ere
mont. Ic will then go to tho state Fair at
Columbus. where 1t is believed no will speak,
and thence 10 Washington. accompanied by
Secretaries Alger and Wilson.
President Mckinley's visit here will be his
first in Cleveland since his inauguration. 1t is
probable that his visit to Cleveland will be far
more quiet than was the one OF, last January.
While there has been some talk of a public
demonstration in his honor on his arrival, the
plans have taken no definite form. One or two
receptions, not OF a public nature, are likely to
DO the extent OF the social functions.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2l.-There WINS n fur
ther advance in wheat today and the excited
conditions have not abated in the least. The
-~seDSisns of the Produce Exchange were attended
largely, and, although the sales were not as
Foluminous Us on Friday. there was q vast
amount OF business done. December wheat
opened Mt 81 .Os, an advance of ia cents over
the closing price of the previous day. Buyers
were d little diffident in the face OF such u rapid
jump upward and sales were mostly on small
quantities.
Many large operators have cleaned big profits
on wheat bulge: Among them are Henry J.
Crocker, George w. McNcar, Max Brooks, and
Balfour, Guthrie. & Co. On the short side are
several heavy losers. Among these are Sol
Wangenhein, Joseph Rosenberg, and Thomas
Watson. who recently married Claus Spreckles's
only daughter. Watson was very lucky in
shorting the market earicr in the season.
but this week Inns been. n Waterloo Tor him.
He has thirty warehouses Lllcd with wheat. and
by his advances to the farmers of San joaquin
Valley he has been enabled to get a large amount
of early wheat.
Croker is not a regular operator. but came
into the market as flyer" and cleaned up
$4,000 In two weeks. Max Brooks Is credited
with making 100000.
]. EppinRer made considerable money, but
dropped most OF his profits because OF having n
line OF shorts which he did not cover. Sol
Wangenheim Is the heaviest loser. Nearly
every jewish wheat broker has dropped his

.JoY IN MINNEAPOLIS.
High price or wheat Has Made Many Wen
Prosperous I'm That city.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 2l.-For the first
time aimee tho summer OF 1890 cash wheat sold
In Minneapolis to-day at $l.07. Probably one Of
tho happicst men In the whole OF the United
States over this occurrence was c. A. Pillsbury,
the big miller, who for years has been endeavor-
ing to raise the price of wheat to this figure
at "a time when the northwestern producer
would obtain the immediate benefit accruing
therorron. Mr.. Pillsbury is said to be long a big
- quality OF September wheat, and Is popularity
supposed TO have made over u million dollars in
the advance scored by this option during the
past few weeks. Other SPECTATORS who are
money are James Cargill, the .Nandusen
Harrington Company, Charles +. Lewis, and
A. q. Chambers. IL is difficult to ascertain Just
how much these men have made. but IT Is safe
10 to say that the sDecnlations OF each during tho
past thirty days have extended into the tens
and hundreds OF thousands of dollars.
H While buying orders from the country have
not been large. there has been a noticeable i'm
provement in the demand for wheat for country
account during the past few days, and IT would
seem from this that the advance is fully war
ranted by light crops OF spring wheat in the
three Northwestern states.
II. V. Jones, commercial editor of the Mime
apolis Journal. who has for years been consid-
cred a very conservative crop estimator, places
the yield of Minnesota and the two Dakotas
at lie, zoe, 600. This estimate was made after
d personal inspection trip covering over four
'seeks.

improve the price of wheat Is the poor quality

As far as is known the object of tho council
Is to boom William Sohmer. William j. Gaynor,
