The Chicago Times Herald of Sat-
urday says: A corner has been made on
eggs. The price now is 10 cents a doz-
en- and how high it will go no one but
the men who are engineering the deal
can tell. The men, Armour, Swift and
other packers and dealers who control
the corner, have already made about
half million dollars, and their profits
have only begun. The deal is of such
proportions that it makes the Phillips
corner on corn seem insignificant. The
deal has been engineered by the pack
ers, Armour and Swift, who are the
largest owners Of refrigerator cars in
the country, and have facilities for
handling eggs to better advantage than
regular dealers. There is also in the
combination the Western Cold Stor-
age company, the Monarch Refrigera-
tor company, Purcell & Tinkham and C..
H. Weaver & Co., all Of Chicago. Has
kell & Bosworth, Of Beatrice, Neb., who
buy at $50 stations in the country, are
also heavily interested.
Kokomo, Indiana, dispatch to the
Chicago Inter-Ocean: There was a dra-
matte scene at the Presbyterian church
In the city Saturday night where a re-
V1Val is In progress, conducted by Evan
gelist Merton Smith, Of Chicago. On a
front seat near the pulpit sat drunken
saloon porter who had wandered into
the place in a dazed condition. The
preacher was waxing loud and elo-
quent on the temperance question,
when the intoxicated man arose and
In stentorian tone denounced him as
a scoundrel and liar. A number Of
women tainted. Don't take him QUIT"
exclaimed Evangelist Smith, as the
janitor pushed the man toward the
door. 1T is not the man, but the IL
quor in him that speaks. He is no
worse than I was once" With the sot
standing by his side in the pulpit, the
minister continued his discourse, with
the living subject for a horrible exam
pie. After the outburst the man re-
pented and wept. 1t was a touching
scene and there were few dry eyes in
the house.
In the town Of English, Crawford
county, Indiana, a monument was
erected recently to the memory Of the
late Hon. William H. English, who ran
for vice president with Hancock. Eng
lish was the founder of the town and
fnl Il &rso
in which it is located, many times. In
his will he made a bequest for the erec-
tion Of a monument to himself, to be
put in the public square within a year
of his death. Provision was made for
the payment Of all Indebtedness incur
red in carrying out his request. During
the last campaign, his son, Colonel Will
liam E. English, renounced Democracy
and openly espoused the cause Of Re
publicanism. This angered the Democ-
racy Of Crawford county, and the lead
ers, according to the reports received,
have resolved to remove the statue of
the father Of Col. English from the
public square and place it on an out-of-
the-way hill near town. Attacks also
have been made at night on the monu-
ment, and stones thrown at it have
broken off parts such as the tail Of the
coat.
