GREAT GOOD OUT OF EVIL.
Lucky Experience of n Miner Swim
died in the kIOndike.

Altoona, Aug. 23.-Robert McCreary, of
Leechburg, just returned from the Klon-
dixie, tells of the strange experience Of
Gus" Anderson, who preceded him TO the
gold fields. Anderson is now a million
aire, and will return soon. He went to
the Klondike three years ago with $500. A
wave of i'll fortune brought him wealth
Two miners had staked out a claim on
El Dorado Creek. They heard Anderson
had money, and, not having sufficient
means to begin work, went to Andersen
and offered TO SELL Anderson refused to
buy, SO the owners of the apparently poor
claim proceeded TO make Anderson drunk.
The strangers made out a deed for their
claim, turned il over to Anderson, and
relieved him of his money. When he dis
covered the action. he was rbroken-hearted.
Finally ne concluded to make the best of
his hard lot, and went TO work on the
claim without hope. He sank a shaft
and month later he cashed out 81 200.
The first year he clared S240. 900, and the
next S250, ,000, and the mine premises better
results this year. John Berger and Nc
Creary worked claim next to Ander-
sons and found nothing. They then went
TO work for Anderson at Sc per day.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Decidedly Strong and Corn
and Oats Firm

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Reported damage from
rains in the Northwest supplemented by
cash bids at or very close TO the market
kept wheat strong today. The news was
sufficient to induce Shorts TO cover liber-
ally, one line of million taken in. Ship
ping sales were SN000 bushels by one
concern here, 100, ,06o bushels sold from
Toledo, sixteen loads reported at the sea-
board. The cash people bid September
and even lis over September for spot wheat
in an effort to get No. northern. Reports
of losses from rains in the Northwest
come from good people. Western receipts
are now very much under last years, 175
cars in the Northwest against Ats last week
Ciearances were 480 600 bushels, making
over 1,206; eco bushels cleared in two days.
Wheat seems about on a shipping basis
Corn was firm. Cash sales today were
large again on the heels of the big business
OF yesterday. That shippers are willing to
pay 34c- lake rates, shows that there is
genuine demand. Cables are 1-8d high
err Seaboard ciearanees were $50 900 bush
els. Shipping sales here were over 100000
bushels, and might have been larger if any
boats had been offering. The seaboard re-
ported fifty-five loads. The strength OF
wheat had some, influence The weather
continues favorable. The weekly crop bull
Ietins report no crop drawback, corn being
cut generally in Kansas.
Shipping sales of oats today were over
500. 600 bushels. making over million sold
here in two days. That and the firmness
of the other gains keep the futures strong
but within narrow limits. Receipts are 800
cars, with 460 for tomorrow.

was about one-half of what the normal
precipitation has been for that period for
twenty years. The result of this
minimum improved the quality OF the
water supply and lessened the death rate
from water borne diseases, which includes
cholera morbus. diarrhoea. dysentery ty-
phOid fever, and so on. Consequently up
TO the close of April there were 435 deaths
from water borne diseases-an average of
25.7 per week-against 403 such deaths for
the remaining two months, or a weekly
average of AS On the other hand. dur
ing this time the air-borne diseases were
unusually rife and so continued until the
precipitation approached the normal in
May and June. During the first period
there was a weekly average of 191 deaths
from the group OF diseases classified as
air-borne including all bronchial ailments,
and this rate was decreased 45 per cent
during the month OF July. During the
1889 dry season there were 4191 deaths

Pains and aches come from excess of
uric acid in the blood, due TO neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes
one feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is over working TO pump
the thick, kidney poisoned blood through
the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the

Texas Situation Causes Bullishness
Among Traders,

[Received daily by E. A. Bowers & Co, brokers,
Washington Lean and Trust Building.l
New York, Aug. 2s.-Everything hinges
on the actual situation in Texas, most ac-
counts agreeing that prospects are very
dlscouraging. Still the trade hesitates to
take a pessimistic view Just now. The
main question is how much eottoe has so
far been absolutely lost and how much
will yet be lost by drought. The weekly
detailed Government report was generally
considered a very dubious document and
unless the situation soon changes for the
better a permanent Improvement in the
market seems likely. Meanwhile the
traders are likely to sell on all good
bulges and buy on all good breaks.
The market this morning had healthier
look with prices to 8 points higher. A
fair reaction took place, but the buying
was at nearly all times better than the
selling, and at the close prices were up
6 to II points. During the day Neill was
quoted again. as predicting a big yield for
Texas and possibly bumper crop in the
event of deferred rains. This, however,
made no impression. Shorts are kept we'll

decentralization in the local traction stocks
and in sugar refining, hence its tene. in
the main, was firm, while in special quar-
ters aggressive strength was shown. Trad
ing opened without any particular, incen-
tives in the way of new deveo opments or
important changes in the outside situa-
ton. The London stock market reffetted
the apparently calmer' foreign political sit
uation in a general rise, in which the
American quarter participated to a note
worthy extent. The tendency OF the Lon
don market, being followed up by, pur-
chases of stocks here for foreign aeco mt,
and being in line with local speculative
sentiment, gave the cue TO the initial spec
ulation. At the opening of business there
was a plain disposition to await further
developments in the local traction shares,
but When it was seen that, yesterdays
pressure was no longer present trading
took on a much more confident tone. Sach
slight changes as We're noted in outside
conditions were not altogether encouIag
ing, but they were accorded scant atten-
tion, and were not effective in shaping the
course of prices. Excessive moisture was
again reported in the spring wheat belt,
but this circumstance was partially Off
set by the glowing reports received of
the progress of the coarser grain crops.
The money market on call was shade
firmer, but, as noted, this circumstance
was also ignored. ssa Tsa1 na4ifi9<2

tive in the shares of the middle class in

thracite coal stocks were also notably

vanced on unusually large dealings. A re-
sues was furnished in the stocks of the BIZ
firm, notably for Hooking Valley; Norfelto
and Western, and the Baltimore and Ohio
issues, improving conditions being report
ed in the bituminous coal trade also. The
granger stocks. while steady, did not take
their usual part in the days dealings, pre-
sumably on account of the noted somewhat
discouraging advices respecting the spring
wheat situation
Sugar Refining was very active and much
hrmer than for some time, The industrial
quarter was otherwise steady. the so-calied
iron and steel industrials advancing. while
the tobacco stocks and the remainder of

OLD SEXTON ISAAC BUTLER.
For Forty-Three Years He Carried
st. Peters Church Keys.

CFrom the New York Tribune.)
For nearly half century old Isaac But
ler the venerable sexton of st. Peters s
Episcopal Church at West Chester has
rung the bells for all the weddings of
promi nee in the little village north of
the Harlem River, and has slowly tolled
them when a member of the congregation
died. For forty-three years he has car
ried the keys of this historic church, which

In appearance he resembles the typical
sexton of paintings. Isaac Butler has pass
ed his seventy fourth birthday, yet he never
misses any of the services held in the
church He is of kindly disposition, and
is held in high esteem by the pastor, the
Rev DIR. F. M. Clendenin. and the parish
toner's. The children, too, love the old sex
ton. and he is affectionately referred to by
them as Grandpa" Butler.
The old man has been somewhat down
cast ever since the fire On account of re-
ports of sensational papers, which said that
he was found wandering around the burned
building In daZed condition, and that the
keys to the church had to be forced from
him.

first persons to arrive upon the scene, and
it was I who rescued the vestments from

The Queen Anne communion service,
which 1t was at first supposed was de :
stroyed in the fire; is never kept in the
church overnight. The guarding of this
precious service is one of the old sexton s
most arduous duties. In order to be near
it at all times he keeps IL locked up in a
large safe in the rear. of his undertaking
shop opposite the church.
Several attempts have been made by bur-
glars to blow open the safe and make away
with the service, but the faithful sexton,
who, it is said, sleeps with one eye open.
each time frustrated their plans. On one
occasion the burglars succeeded in drilling
a hole into the safe before he was aroused.
The service was presented to the church
by Queen Anne.

NAVAL CADETS AT WEST POINT.
Their Visit One OF Pleasure Long
to Re Remembered

West Point, n. Y, Aug. 23.-The naval
cadets on the United States training ship
Annapolis viii leave early tomorrow morn
ing and go direct to Annapolis. The visit
OF the young middies has been one they
will long remember. The open air hop in
camp last night was largely attended The
naval cadets had permission to remain
ashore until 1 o'clock. During the illumina-
tion of the camp one OF the tents caught
fire and was completely destroyed. This
caused some excitement for time. This
evening the two classes of the naval and
military academies had their pictures taken
Oh the steps of the chapel. This afternoon
Commander Ingersoll sent an invitation to
the enlisted men and their families to visit
the ship from / until O'Clock. The third
and fourth classes were entertained on
board the Annapolis this evening by the
naval cadets. Strong efforts are being made
to induce Commander Ingersoll to remain
until Friday. but he has not as yet decided
what he will do. The enlisted men of the
army service corps gave hop and recep-
tion 10 the Annapolis in their hall last
night
