Pennsylvania Republicans expect to carry the
State by nearly 100000 majority. but complain
that II is an Off year and that they do not
expect to bring out their fun vote. When they
do the other side has to be looked for with a
lantern. and sometimes cannot be found even
then.

The Farmer Leads

Notwithstanding domestic wheat
crop reports pointing to harvest of
SIS 900, 900 bushels, 100,000,000 bushels
more than last year, the price of wheat
gives signs of advancing along the lines
laid down for it by some of the corstitu
tional bulls. The worlds stocks of wheat
amount, in round numbers to only 49,
900, 900 bushels, one of the smallest to-
tails at a corresponding date for many
years. This is the more significant when
it is recalled that available stocks, not
only in the United States, but in Europe,
represent today a much larger proper
ton of total supplies, visible and invis-
BILE, than they did ten years ago, owing
to the increase in facilities for public
storage. Foreign buyers have evident
ly been impressed by recent reports
from Russia, Germany France ard
Hungary pointing to decreased wheat
harvests this year. India, it is thought,
will hardly supply more than she re-
quires for her own consumption, and lit
tie is counted on from Australia and
the Argentine republic. This brings the
United States to the front as a promi-
nent wheat exporter under somewhat
similar conditions to those which exist
ed in 1879, a period of revival from the
preceding great panic, after five or six
years of retrenchment and economy AT
that time European supplies of wheat
were very generally short and. those in
the United States unusually bountiful
We had passed through the period of
recuperation following that of over
initiation and speculation, even as We
have within the last four years. The
| most encouraging feature of the situa-
| ton today, then, is found in the advanc-
| ing price of wheat during the harvest
| season. 1t will be difficult for newspa-
| pers with axes to grind to make the point
| this year that the advance in the price
| of wheat is going to the Spectator and
| elevator owner instead of to the pro-
Queer. 1t is the American farmer who
| is to profit first by the statistical stu
alton of the cereal this time, and with
| the improvement in the material well
| fare of the American agriculturist must
and does begin the Improvement of gem
| eral trade throughout the country. If
| the result for an expected Lars 4rvest
of and demand for Indian corn prove
similar to the conditions affecting wheat
| the prospects of the planter and the
| farmer will indeed be favorable: but
| the Indian corn crop will be subject to
damage until the middle of September
The present wheat outlook Is for the
continuance of declining stocks through
out the world during July, and with un-
favorable reports as to foreign wheat
crops, the prospect is bright for holders
of wheat. But whatever the gains of
the latter, nothing should now prevent
the far-sighted American wheat farmer
from participating in the very Begin
nings of the coming business prosperity

OUT OF COURT
George Lindenfeld's Case Continued
Until It Was Dismissed

On June q an old man named Chris
tan Horn swore to complaint charging
George ]. Lindenfeld, attorney at law
with embezzlement in having appro-
priated to his use the sum of $500 de-
posted with him for the purpose of in
vestment.
Lindenfeld was arraigned before Jus
tice Young and his examination set for
June 30. On that date the case was
continued to July II and then again con-
tinued to the 23d inst. Yesterday when
the case was called in the township
court the following unique document
was filed:
ITO Whom it May Concern:
II desire it to be understood that !
acted hastily in swearing out a COM
plant charging Mr.. George j. Linden
field with the embezzlement of certain
moneys belonging to me. l am now sat
isfied, after an investigation, that there
never was any intent on his part to do
me any injury whatsoever or to misap-
propriate any money that was lawfully
mine.
dated 10Th July, 1891"
On motion of the district attorney the
case was thereupon dismissed.

Mrs. Stevens peeping through the win
dow she saw her hubby ard the widow
playing cards together. Her grief and
vexation were such that she made a
scene and broke up the card game. pour
ing forth volley of recriminations upon
the recalcitrant spouse.
Mr.. Stevens, his wife claims declared
that Mrs Day was, like the Salt Lake
matron of whom Artemus Ward has left
a record, his affinity, and that he had re-
ceiNed messages at spiritist seances
from the other side, wherein he had been
told that "Lulu"-a maiden of surpass-
ing beauty in form and disposition-had
been predestined for him. This was not
calculated to comfort his wife much, and
the phiiandering after Mrs. Day was
more really than she could stand
The defendant made habit of attend
'of seances in company with Mrs. Day,
and returned home at late hour of the
night When the wife demonstrated he
was frank enough to tell her that he no
longer loved her, and that he intended to
get a divorce If she didn't. and he would
then marry Mrs Day; that he didn't
care what anyone said, he would do as
he - pleased He, with more or less
constancy, applied vile epithets to her.
finally telling her he would kill her and
burn her up in the house unless she
would clear out and get divorce. The
defendant emphasized his wishes by
knocking plaintiff down and severely
bruising her, and her measure of grief
was full when she became satisfied of
her husbands Illicit relations with Mrs.
Day.
These are the alleged facts row being
inquired into, but the husband is to have
his innings by and by upon his cross
complaint, in which he charges his wife
with cruelty and claims his release from
the marital bond on that ground.

large amount Of work was sublet at a
price much less than the price to be paid
by the Southern California Power COM
pany, and which will assure profits
amounting to $4,000 to Phelan.
But right here difficulty is encoun-
tered, Phelan refuses to recognize An
tonelli in any way and has formed some
kind of a partnership with Frazier. The
latter claims to have purchased an irh
terest in Phelan'S contract, notwith-
standing that he was present when An
tonelli and Phelan entered into their
contract, and he consequently knew of
Antonellis rights in the premises.
These are the facts set forth by An
tonelli in the suit he has brought against
Phelan and Frazier. and he Furthermore
alleges that he believes the defendants
are insolvent and cannot respond in dam
ages and are dependent for money to
carry on the work on the rs per cent of
the value of work done which is paid
each month. The plaintiff asks that the
court declare that a copartnership ex-
lists between Antonelli and Phelan, on
the basis of half profits to each; that
Frazier has no interest in the contract;
that receiver be appointed. and that
the defendants be restrained from dis.
posing of the contract.

A BROKEN CONTRACT
Trying to Get Better Contract, the
Contractor Loses the One He Has

J. S. Antonelli, who is a contractor for
tunnel work particularly, is in grea,
trouble by reason Of his having been
overreached in business deal by E. 7
Phelan and Alex r. Frazier.
Some time ago the Southern California
Power company advertised for bids or
a contract to construct certain tunnels
in. connection with its work in San Ber-
nardino county for the development of
electric power. Both Antonelli and Phe-
Ian put in bids for the work but Anto-
nellis was the lowest, and he was award
ed the contract last May, or to be more
precise, it was agreed that he should
have the contract upon his filing a bond
for $25, 600
Early in June Phelan and Antonelli
entered into a contract of copartnership
the conditions being that if Antonelli
would withdraw his bid and allow Phe-
Ian to take the contract in his own name
he would supply at his own cost THE bond
required of $4,000, and that thereafter
plaintiff and he should share in the
profits and losses equally and carry out
the contract. AntoEelli thereupon with
drew his contract and instead it. was
awarded to Phelan, and he at once COM
menced work. The construction of the
tunnels were well under way and a

THE CREEDE ESTATE
The Widow Wants Support and Little
Edith's Mother Wants Her Child

The petition filed by the widow of the
late Nicholas c. Creole in the probate
department of the superior court, ask
ing that letters of administration be is
sued to her. was yesterday ordered con-
tinued until August 8. This will bring
the matter of letters and the question of
admitting the will to probate before the
court at about the same time.
The law firm of Finlayson & Finlay-
son, representing Mrs. Creole in the sew
eral proceedings taken, yesterday filed
a petition on behalf of the widow for
family support. A recital of the fact of
her husbands death is made, the value
of his estate placed at $3.50, 900 and the
various facts already published relat-
ing to little Edith Dorothy Creole duly
set forth In the light of the facts set
forth the court is asked to award the
sum of $3.50 per month to the widow,
and that she be permitted to enter into
possession of the homestead at COL South
Pearl street.
Judge Allen heard the application in
chambers and granted Messrs. Gage and
Weller. the attorneys for the estate, five
days to answer. When similar appli-
cation was made in connection with the
divorce proceedings, Judge Clark re-
fused to make any order for the Widows
support but whether that precedent will
affect the present application or not re-
mains to be seen.
During the afternoon the petition of
Mrs. Edith Bashford, mother of Edith
Dorothy Creole, that she be appointed
guardian of the minors person and es-
tate was also filed in court. 1t is al
legged by the petitioner that the child
has no relatives in California save her
self and her father, John NJ Walker. 1t
is set out that the child is the lawful
issue of marriage and that when petit
toner was divorced from John Mackay
Walker she was awarded the custody of
the child. the father not being held to be
fit and proper person to have it in
charge. At present the little one is IN
the care of William Phifer and Maggie
Kearney.
All these several issues will doubtless
prove fruitful in litigation, the only
point upon which the contending parties
display any signs of agreement being
the necessity for the appointment of
special administrator and who shall be
the nominee will itself be point of dis
pute

SOME SPICY DETAILS
Being Given in the Stevens Case Be.
hind Closed DORIS

The doors of department five were
closed yesterday tighter than a drum
for the spicy divorce proceedings of
Nora Stevens against William NJ. Ste
vens were in course of hearing. The law
firm of Brooks & Trask appeared for
the plaintiff, while Cyrus d. Wilbur ap-
peared for the defendant.
Constructively it was impossible to get
any of the particulars of the case, but
the plaintiff was upon the witness stand
most of the day, and will be further ex-
amined this morning. The specific
charge she makes against her husband
is adultery with a widow named Mrs.
Mary Day, residing on Hany street. The
defendant is in the milk business, and
not only took Mrs Day out riding in the
milk wagon but also went buggy riding
When the plaintiffs suspicious were
aroused she watched her husband, and
without an excessive difficulty caught
him at an unusual hour in Mrs. Days
house. His rig was tied up, and upon
