has the honor of making the highest total
of the match. $40. in their victorious game.
An interesting feature of the Catholic
Clubs play is always the bowling of Mr.
doubt one Of the very best In this section.
His wonderful skill in strike bowling Is
constantly brought to notice. In this series.
the scores show, he has a record of sew
enteen strikes out Of possible thirty. This
is seldom equaled. Such work as this will
of course assure big string and it is in
teresting to observe in passing that Mr..
Wheeler's record on regulation alleys has
already this season reached the high total
of 2SO for single game. On another occa-
sion, in competition in Baltimore with
Clark's "All Stars he ran the totals of
243 100 and 221 in a. three-game match.

FUGITIVES ARRESTED.
Five COIOred Youths Returned to
Maryland RefOrmatOry.

Five colored fugitives from the Chelten-
ham reforma tory, in Prince Georges coun-
ty were arrested near Benning Saturday
night about 1890 o'clock and held at the
Anacostia police station for the reforma-
tory officials. They gave their names as
Carl Harris, Bunnie Jones, Charles Gilliard
James Chase and Lorenzo Talliaferro.
Their ages range from sixteen to twenty
years They escaped from the reformatory
last Thursday and started in the direction
of this city, wearing the uniform of the in
Stitution. 1t was their clothing which led
to their arrest
Sergeant Anderson and Mounted Police
men Branson and Mccormick took them
into custody. The officers had exciting
pursuit and although the fugitives scat
tered they were unable to get away. 1t is
said that two of them were serving time
for having participated in mail robberies in
Indian territory. Last night they were
turned over to an official who took them
back to Cheltenham.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Grain markets
to-day were strong to begin with, but
closed at substantial declines. Wheat
lost &c; corn and oats zee. Provisions
showed little change.
The start in wheat rather favored the
bulls. Foreign markets showed good
advances. There was the usual selling
by longs satisfied with their profits, but
the strength of foreign markets was
influential enough to create good buy
ing demand and for the first half hour
the trading was quite active. After
that, however, new factors came into
the market of distinctly bearish color
and prices in consequence suffered
Crop reports throughout the west and
northwest were in the main decidedly
favorable, those from the northwest
predicting the largest crop in years
Weather conditions were also more
favorable. The severest blow to the
bulls, however, came from the visible
supply figures. These showed an in
crease of 1,9S3000 bushels. AS a sub
stantial decrease had been looked for,
the announcement brought large
quantities of long wheat into the mar
ket. Chicago receipts were 95 cars,
70 of contract grade Minneapolis anu
Duluth reported "a cars, against 925
last week and 165 a year ago. Theirs
was good export business done'at the
decline, about 100000 bushels in all.
Final prices were but a shade above
the lowest of the day. July opened al
7SAc, compared with 775s@77Ac, the
closing price Saturday. 1t sold imme,
diately at 7S1ac, then gradually declin-
ed to 1880, closing at 76%c.
Corn was moderately active. The
market was affected by exceptionally
favorable crop report and ruled weak
almost from the start, closing at a
small decline. Selling was general.
Receipts were 479 cars. The visible
decreased 49, 900 bushels. July opened
shade higher at 34@341sc, declined
to 1880 and recovered TO 33%c, where
it closed.
Oats were fairly active and weak.
The market, like corn, was influenced
by the favorable crop conditions and
the wheat weakness, the good cash de-
mand not having enough influence to
sustain prices. Receipts were 205 cars.
July opened at 235s @23Ac, declined to
231sc and closed at 231@23Ec.
Provisions were dull and steady
There was some selling influenced by
the grain weakness Shorts absorbed
all offerings and prices fuctuated but
little. Hog prices were fairly steady.
July pork closed a shade higher at
$S.17R@8.20; July lard, 21ac higher at
$5.02h, and July shade higher at
$4.62a @4.65.
