From the ST. Louie Republic.
Philip Wiser. aged SO, died sunday morning at
7;e7 O'Clock. Tho time was recorded by the clock.
which for moro than twenty-five years has told the
hour OF day to the Wiser family. The old ~timcriece
stopped ticking as the octogenarian breathed his last.
1t was an incident foretold by Wiser years ago.
"That clock Is my friend. - said he one day. "I
have listened to its beat for these many years, until
now l think It's action is in unison with the beats OF
my heart. believe Its seemingly sympathetic move
ments will cease when die"
And so II came to pass. The very moment that the
venerable man dropped OF the familiar "tIck.tock"
OF the %timepiece was heard no more. The pendulum
came to a standstill suddenly and without apparent
reason. The clock was wound the evening before by
Wiser. and should have run for eight days. When
1t was examined yesterday It was found to be In good
order. but tho members Of the family will not again
use 1t as a timepiece. They will keep 1t in memory

CORNER IN FREIGHT SPACE.
All Regular Line Atlantic Steamship
Space Engaged by a For
eign Syndicate.


Chicago, Nov. IA special to the
Record from New York says: There
is practically a corner in ocean freight
room for cattle on the Transatlantic
steamship lines from this port, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. The entire
space has been engaged of the White
Star line and Atlantic Transportation
line for one year, beginning January l
and of the National line for two years
from that date by a representative of
a syndicate said to be composed of
English buyers of cattle. 1t is report
ed that p. d. Armour of Chicago. is
interested. All space for 1898 on the
Wilson and Furuiss lines has been
contracted for by others and so has
the space Of the Bristol line, leaving
no space on the regular lines availa-
bic for local cattle shippers.
The existence of the corner was con-
firmed today by VIM. Lunham of the
freight brokerage firm of Lunham &
Moore of the produce exchange. He
said: Our firm has had the space for
years back. This syndicate in which
imagine P. d. Armour is interested,
simply came into the market and over
bid us paying AZ shinings and six pence
per head for space against 81 shillings
and six pence which has been the av-
erage price in late years. 1t is my
idea the corner is being engineered by
those who believe they foresee an era
of short crops ahead and big crops
here, with lots of corn to feed cattle
here, making cattle here cheap which
can be sold dear abroad"
