ing New York reported the buying OF
wheat there for foreign account, and as
there was good deal of anxiety among
the local crowd concerning the condi-
ton Of the winter wheat owing to the
continued cold weather, May was bid
up to 73c. Chicago received 2l7 car
loads, of which q were graded con-
tract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 401
cars, against 452 the corresponding day
a year ago. Western primary market
receipts for the first time in months
were less than those Of the CORES
ponding day last year, amounting to
$4,000 bushels. Atlantic port clear
ances of wheat and -four were equal
to $4,000 bushels, Complaints Of
drought from California and India
started shorts covering on large scale,
and as there was considerable buying
for the long account, May hesitating
around 725sc rallied quickly to 1850.
Then profit taking set in and the price
sagged off to 72&c. Bradstreets re-
ported an increase of 1,S89,000 bushels
in the worlds visible and as that was
very much under the increase expected
the buying that followed this an
nouneement put the price to 1870. The
rally did not hold, however, as some
local spectators who had bought wheat
yesterday started to sell out on the
bulge, and they soon had SO many imi-
tators that drop in May wheat to
71% @717sc was the work of only about
half an hour. The closing price was
717s@72c.
Business in corn was not very brisk
or extensive. The buying was of an
Indifferent character and the market
was allowed to sag. Receipts were
enormous, amounting to 1,555 cars.
May opened a shade lower at 37037 1sc,
advanced to 37Ac, then declined to
365ac, the closing price.
There was quite liberal selling by
local traders in oats, but an excellent
demand from the outside sources held
prices steady. Receipts 40 cars. May
started unchanged at &c, rose to 2Sa8c,
then weakened to CSC at the close.
Fewer hogs than expected, higher
prices at the yards and large shipments
of meat Strengthening provisions early.
Later, however, the market yielded
with grains and heavy selling by yes
terday's buyers. Shipments of meat
amounted to 5,40S,000 pounds, and lard
100000 pounds. May pork opened so
TIC higher at S10.20010.25, declined
to s1O1O, and closed at $1O1O@1O.121a.
May lard began 21ac up at $3.50, ad-
vanced to $5.8212, then declined to
$5.75, the closing figure. May ribs
started sc up at $5.121a, and sold off to

SUIT OVER TAXES.
Litigation Because OF Alleged Error
In Assessment


Norfolk, Va, March 25-In the corpora
tion court yesterday argument in a case in
which Judge Hanckel is asked to correct
an alleged erroneous assessment of $25. 900
State taxes on the estate of the late Dr.
Thomas F.. Andrews, of Baltimore, was
heard. DR.. Andrews left Norfolk in 1852
and took up his residence in Baltimore,
where he died in 1886, leaving an estate
valued at $745,000. His will was admitted
to probate here and the benefcaries quail
ified as executors. The estate was settled
in 1898 and in 1897 back taxes amounting
to s25 800, were assessed against it. The
executors claim that the State had no right
to tax them because DIR. Andrews was not
a resident of Virginia at the time of his
death. that they are not residents of Vir-
ginia. and that none of the property upon
which the tax is assessed was ever ac-
tually situated In the State. The entire
estate, except about $4,000 in real estate,
upon which taxes have always been paid,
consisted of stocks, bonds. and railroad
property. To avoid litigation the execu-
tors offered the commonwealth $4,000 OF
the assessment. but this was refused. The
city had a claim of $50, 900 against the An
drews' estate, but compromised it for $40.
600, fearing that it could not be made in
the courts on the ground that the city
cannot assess for back taxes. The State.
1t. was claimed, was in a better position
in this particular than was the city.

FoRsAKEs JUDEA FOR ROME
Daughter of Rabbi Embraces the
Catholic Faith

New York, March 25.-Rose Segal. the
pretty daughter of Rabbi Joseph Segal. of
the Temple B'nai Abraham, of Newark is
about TO embrace the Catholic faith. The
young woman was forcibly taken by her
father and brothers from the house of DR.
John Max Reiner. of Elizabeth, some weeks
ago.
Rose claimed she was of age and CAPABLE
of taking care of herself Her parents dis
puted this. The question was finally set
tied by Chancellor McGill. who, from eyi
dence submitted, decided that she was
twenty one years old and set her at liberty
1t was supposed she had gone to live with
friends in New York, but it now appears
she went quietly back to DR.. Reiner's
house, where she is now staying Rose is
a regular attendant at the Lenten services
at st. Mary's Catholic Church. Elizabeth.
DR.. Reiner, it. is said, is instructing her
in the Catholic faith, and it is alleged that
she will be baptized and admitted to that
Church after Easter.
When Rose was abducted from DR.. Rel
ner's house by her relatives he declared
next day that it was simply fight between
Rome and Jerusalem, and predicted that
Rome would win. DR.. Reiner, in view of
Chancellor McGill's decision, will, it is
said, renew before the May term of the
grand jury of Union county the complaints
against Rabbi Segal and the others who

RURAL POSTAL SERVICE.
A Maryland Invention That May Do
Away With Star Routes

Westminster, Md, March 25.--A United
States postal wagon, to be used for collect
ing and distributing mail in the rural dis
tricts of Carroll county to and from West
minister as a central point, was completed
this week by Herr Bros. This "postoffice
on wheels is the invention of Edwin w
Shriyer, of Westminster. 1t is the first
experiment of the kind made by the Post
office Department in the United States.
II 1t proves successful in Carroll county
ii will be adopted in all the States of the
Union. Mr.. Shriver. the inventor, has been
working on the wagon for several years.
The rural postal wagon is a model in its
completeness. 1t is comparatively light in
weight, but is exceedingly strong and dur
able. 1t is covered completely and has two
windows in each side and doors. The in
terror is large enough TO permit tall man
to stand comfortably, and is furnished
with a distributing table, drawers and
pigeon-holes for mail matter. In the rear
end is a double seat for the use of the pos
tai clerk. The front and outside of the
wagon, where the driver will be seated, is
entirely separate, but the two can commu-
nicate with each other. The body of he
wagon is painted navy blue and the run
ming gear in yellow, with red stripes. On
each side OF the wagon in large white let
ters are the words, u. S. Mall and Pos
tai Wagon"
Mr.. Shriver has been appointed postal
clerk by the Postoffice Department and
Mr.. Horace G. Reese, of Westminster, as
sistant. Postmaster Schaeffer was noti-
fed that the first trip would be made on
Easter Monday, April 3. After that date
the wagon will make daily trips, except
on Sunday
