BIG CORNER IN WHEAT.
Armour Is Now Credited with
Engineering 1t.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Rumors of
corner in July wheat are agitating the
grain market. One report names the
Armours as the controlling influence
and another from Minneapolis credits
responsibility for the situation to c.
A. Pillsbury The visible supply is not
more than 100000 bushels and in a
few days will fall several million
bushels below that figure. OF this 20
600, 900 it is said the Armours now con-
troll 100000 bushels. Anyway, it is
now in the hands of the bulls, and
while no concerted attempt to corner
the market is admitted by their repre-
sentatiVeS the bears are alarmed at
the slim prospects of being able TO
cover their shorts. But a short time
ago July wheat was selling at only 8
cents per bushel over September. To-
day it was IA cents over. On Wednes-
day last it was only cents over.
The total worlds stocks of wheat now
are practically 82,217 900 bushels against
a stock Of 137,728. 900 bushels in 1896
Heavy transfers of July wheat have
been made within few days Some
say that from 20,00OV00 to $4,000. 900
bushels are held by somebody indi-
vidually or collectively Whatever the
amount, the question is how are the
shorts going to fill in their contracts
with wheat?

Settling With Brown.

Tho special council committee on accounts
Of H. F. Brown met yesterday and took up
further consideration of Mr.. Browns propo-
sitions for a settlement. The session was
executive. and the aldermen were rather dis
inclined to answer questions. 1t was learned,
however, that out of three distinct offers for
a settlement made by Mr.. Brown, who was
present, the one which met with the most
favor was his agreement to pay over to the
city in cash 20 per cent of the SAT 900 which
he borrowed from the eX-c:ty treasurer, and
turn over real estate in settlement of the
remainder. The real state in question con-
sists of sixteen acres of land in the vicin-
ity Of the workhouse. The city cannot legally
accept the land unless it has some use to
which the property can be put Before any
thing definite toward accepting the PROPOSE
lion can be done it will be necessary to learn
from the board Of charities and corrections
II il would be to the interests Of the city to
acquire the property.

IS THERE A PAVING COMBINE.
Unanimous Advance in the Size OF
bids

The city council was expected to
have a seance ON the new telephone
ordinance last night, but the commit
tee failed to agree, and the matter
did not come up. Aid. Phillips cited
this as an excuse for the delay in the
consideration of Aid. Elliot's ordinance
reducing the water rates. 1t was evil
dent that the council was not ready
to reduce the rates at once, and the
Elliot ordinance went over to the next
meeting.
The reason given for this action is
that the money will be needed for the
building of a filtering plant at the
reservoir next season. Unless this
money is secured from the excess of
water rentals there will probably be
no money available. The Elliot ordi-
nance will either be directly killed or
permitted to die by pOStponement. 1t
will, no doubt, come up in year or
two, and will be passed without oppo-
sition. But it has no chance of pass
ing under present conditions.
Two bids only were received for the
paving of Seventh street. from Henne-
pin to Seventh avenue SOUTH with Wit
rified brick Both bids are 20 cents or
more above the city engineers esti-
mates and about Is cents above the
figure at which the same work is now
being done in this city upon much
smaller contracts. The bids are as fol-
lows:

may be necessary, 81 per square yard
for burlington brick or $2.02 for any

the same time, the Des Moines com.

alleys In blocks SO and Sc, of the towr
of Minneapolis, at $1.87 per square
yard. The bids were referred to the
committee on paving. 1t is possible
that both bids may be rejected. The
city engineers estimate for this work
was $32, 445.70 but the contractors hav,
asked about 10 per cent more.

HANGED TWICE.
Terrible ExpiatiOn of "a Negro MUIR
dereF in Texas.

HOUSTON, Tex, June 25:-Jim Williamson,
a young man, was hanged today at Whar-
ton, for his completely in the murder of
the Croker family last May. Williamson S
nerve failed him at the last and it was neces-
saEy to twice inject strychnine into him to
enable him to mount the scaffold. He de-
clared his father, also indicted for the crime
was innocent. Williamson was pronounced
dead by the attending physicians three min
utes after the drop fell, but upon being cut
down was found to be alive. The body was
hauled up and again sent through the drop
and was allowed to hang % minutes. The
first drop very hurried, the con-
demned man nearly tainted when the moose
adjusted.
The massacre of Crocker, his wife and 49,
year-old son grew out of a feud over land.
Mrs. Croker had previously been indicted
for killing one Day. a member of the Will
hanson faction, but had not been tried. On
the evening of the murder Crocker and his
family were surrounded by six men in a
neighbours house. Seeing escape for himself
was hopeless he sent his wife out on the
prairie and put his boy between mattresses.
The murderers finally shot him many times,
found the boy and killed him as he lay,
then pursued the woman. A Winchester was
placed to her head and her brains blown
out. Another member of the gang Is serving
life term.

port their statement by quoting the
action of the Chicago July wheat mar
ket yesterday compared with that of
the Minneapolis market, while, as a
matter of fact, such comparison would
tend to prove that no such corner as
they credit Mr.. PillSoury with, could
exist.

1 do not believe that there will be a
corner in July wheat there. AS far
as Minneapolis is concerned, last fill

be considerably shorter than it turned
out to be. We contracted for wheat
enough to run our mills until another
crop, and sold wheat as hedges"
against the same in this and other
markets. We did not buy any more
wheat than we expected we would

other lot of 100000 bushels which any
miller may buy in if he wants it. We
are not interested in any markets Cx-

sold in other markets as against wheat
owned or contracted for by us IN this
market!

this market being manipulated, l

DEATH ENDS HER WORK.
William Klein Drops Lifeless While
Trying to Earn Il Breakfast.


A man, supposed to be William Klein,
dropped dead while engaged in pllin&
wood at the residence of f. H. Smith,
2512 Stevens avenue, at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning.
He called at the house Thursday
night and asked for work, stating that
he was very hungry and would be glad
to do anything in exchange for some
thing to eat and small compensation.
He was instructed to pile load or
wood in the rear of the house and
worked until dark, returning again
this morning.
He had been working but little
while when the hired girl saw him pitch
forward on the pile. She informed
Mrs. Smith that the man was sick, but
investigation showed that he had died
almost instantly.
His clothes were examined, and from
letters and papers it is thought that
his name is William Klein. This name
, is the address of a letter from the pat
ent office at Washington. The letter Is
evidently in reply to some request re-
garding perpetual motion. The name
OF Klein also appears on a time book
with the name of William Kaboki. In
this time book are drawings of me-
chanical nature. The mans death was
undoubtedly due to apOpleXy. He was
about twenty-five years old, had red
hair, was about five feet eight inches
in height, and 165 pounds in weight.

tOns are alleged as such. l have moth
ing to regret except the rife ignorance
and disregard upon our part of what
tends to greatness of a people. The
opportunities of improvement were
never better, and the incentives to be
sO,were never more potent. AS time in
its amplitude fiys, it brings US nearer
the 32nd anniversary celebration of
freedom from slavery, but instead of
preparation for patriotic exercises,
the very object of celebration is pre-
verified to simply pleasure seeking, jol-
LITIGATION, trading and voluptuary.
But no one noble deed is recounted
of the high achievements Of brave men
who ventured everything to bring
about this long prayed for condition.
The turn of things brought two hum
bred thousand negro men upon the
bloody scenes of war, for the freedom
of a race whose enslavement, the
American white people would no long
er tolerate; there is no thought of
brave heroes mentioned to rekindle the
just family pride, with any desire of
Tecitals to an increasing reverance for

The celebrators being tickle, are easily
fiattered and can be filled with empty
applause. The factions into which

not half so bad as the attempts upon
the parts of the shrewd manipulators
to ring the churches in by assistance
of the pastors whose trading tenden-
