CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Easier cables and
large receipts caused a weak opening In
wheat, but the close was firm, with De-
eember up A@3sc December corn weak,
ZW21sc lower, and oats a shade lower.
January provisions closed from 5@71ac to
15c lower.
Wheat was once more the center Of at
traction to traders, and the feature was
the. strength in December delivery, due
to buying by brokers supposed to be for
a prominent local long. The local crowd
prices would take a drop, but being dis
appointed in this they later turned active
buyers, causing a good advance. Large
receipts in the Northwest, together with
excellent weather, were the early bear
factors. May sympathized with December
to some extent and closed slightly under
Saturdays close. December opened I'M
after few sales around the opening fig
ures there was an advance to 1870. Later
on liquidation by longs due to the weak
ness in corn caused decline. The close
was A@Bc higher at 73@731sc.
Receipts and cIearances.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
1884 400 bu, compared with 1,293,51 bu
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of l 243 cars, which, with
of contract grade-made total receipts for
the three points of !, 400 cars, against ], ASP
cars last week and 1,197 cars a year ago.
corn was neaVy ana The market seemed
to lack the support of the strong holders.
There was considerable scattered profit
taking and also a lot of short selling. In
different cables and good weather were
the weakening factors early and toward
noon there was a rush Of general selling
orders, and sharp break occurred. De-
cember opened unchanged to &c lower at
SO Is @531ac, declined on commission house
selling, advanced again on buying by early
sellers, but broke badly toward the close,
which was near the low point at 513s q
slice, a loss of 2@2Bc. Local receipts
were 275 cars, with 81 of contract grade.
Nothing In Oats.
Oats were dull and featureIess, being in
f1uenced chiefly by the action of corn. The
principal trading was in the way of chang
ing. December closed a shade lower at
313sc, after selling between 81 sc and 31s
@32c. Local receipts were 247 cars.
h Provisions were dull and easy, due II
lower prices at the yards with larger re-
ceipts of hogs. There were no special
features to trading. January. pork closed
15c lower at $3.50, January lard 12hc
lower at $9.121a and ribs 5@71ac lower at
$S.37H.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat, 1856 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats,
29O cars and 10000 head of hogs.

The Clarke Claimant.

The woman who gave her name as
Roberta Beach Clarke and who claims
TO be the widow of John p. Clarke has
caused what will probably prove less
than a nine-days' wonder in this city.
In fact if she keeps on talking it will be
but ephemeral, as her statement to
Chief Webster and that to Mr.. Evans
shows marked divergence. She told
the chief she was married to the
deceased in Washington in 1853 and
that son was born who died upon
reaching manhood. Mr.. Evans AYERS
that her statement to him was to the
effect that she was married twenty years
AGO and that her son, the fruit of the
marriage, would be forty years old were
he living. She further said she had
been living in Pennsylvania and that
Mr.. Clarke had been to see her two
DAVIS before his death; moreOye-, that her
niece had nursed the deceased a few
DAYS previous to that event The wo-
man said she was unaware OF Mr..
Clarke's death until last Friday, and
that some time ago she and her son
were employed in the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing in Washington.
She further enlightened Mr. Evans by
telling him the deceased had two stores
in Washington-one directly across the
street from the other The woman's
statements lend weight to the suggestion
made yesterday-that she is laboring
under delusion. A gentleman of this
city, who says he knows whereof he
speaks, went to the station house this
morning and told Lieutenant Smith that
the woman who lays claim to Mr..
Clarke's estate is the wife of notary
public of Washington whose name Is
Clarke. The impression that the
woman is suffering from some mental
impairment is becoming general.

An EYpensive Lark.

Two strangers, supposed to be WASH
ingtonians, who gave their names rs
Edward Mcdonald aud George Wilkins,
went TO a livery stable about three
O'Clock this morning and hired a car
rage. The vehicle was placed in charge
of a colored man and his passengers told
him TO drive to north Fairfax street.
Upon reaching their destination one of
the men went to a north Lee street re-
sort and invited Gertie Golden and Rose
Finley to become members of the party.
The women accepted the invitation,
and were soon engaged in merry-making
at the expense of people who wanted to
sleep. Their conduct attracted the at
tention of Officers Knight and Beach,
who concluded that the we sma' hours
should not be utilized for such purposes,
and they put the quaternion under ar
rest. A pistol was found on Mcdonald
when the party reached the station
house. They were made to leave $40
collateral for their appearance this morn
ing. wilkins was the only one OF the
four who answered roll-call when the
case was called and he was fined 50.
The Others forfeited their collateral, all
of which was put up by Wilkins. Several
other cases were disposed of by the
Mayor, all of which were for mis-
demeanOrs.

A Change in the Weather.

The humid aud Uncomfortable weather
of the past few days was followed at the
close of the day by fresh northeasterly
breeze and more pleasant conditions as
the shades of night fell over the city,
and this morning about four o'clock
rain began to fall The wind freshened
perceptibly as the day advanced and
fragments of clouds chased each other
toward the northwest, while rain fell
and the sun shone at intervals. The
tide in the river made higher than usual
The surface Of the river presented weird
aspect, white caps surging after each
other, while the wind came in heavy
flaws. In short, the weather was much
akin to that which accompanies the
autumnal equinox. About three o'clock
dark and OMNIBUS cloud formed in the
west and the wind soon veered to that
quarter, blowing stiff and cool. Rain
followed and the indications are that
clear and much cooler weather will pre-
vail tonight.

An application for the admission to

fire 10 the Jackson City gambling
houses, and as to whose guilt jury
disagreed will he heard tomorrow be-
fore Judge Nicol, of the Circuit Court

ty Court refused to admit Nelson to
bail when the jury disagreed, and a
continuance was asked by the defense
until the latter part of September. An
appeal in the matter Of bail was there
upon taken to the Circuit Court, and
yesterday Judge Nicol issued an order
requiring the sheriff Of Alexandria

Circus Tomorrow.

There is hardly a travelling exhibitionin

cents entertainment sovaried so attractive
and SO multitudinous as do John Robin
sons Ten Combined great shows which
will be in Alexandria tomorrow. Since the
DAYS of Noah, a more complete menag-
erie has never been seen. Poetical and
enchanting scenes never before equaled
are witnessed in the sublime Bib
cal spectacle of Solomon, His Tenn
pie and Queen of Sheba. Every act in
the programme is a revelation to the
people. The finest specimens of horse
flesh in the world, the highest aerialists
in the circus profession, all the champion
riders, both male and female, the finest
specimens of the cutest ponies in the
world, the grandest specialties ever pro-
duced and the funniest clowns on earth
are with the Robinson Shows.

Fire in a Kitchen.

This afternoon a member of the family
of Mr.. Edward Kidwell, living near the
Columbia engine house, ran to that
building and informed those present that
a fire was raging in Mr.. Kidwell's kitch-
en-. Mr.. Noble Smith, engineer, and
Mr.. Stephen Taylor, driver Of the
hose wagon, picked up an extinguisher
and upon entering the house found
the fire had gained considerable head
way. By the prompt use of the ex-
tinguisher, however, the flames were
soon subdued and the damage was slight.
The fire resulted from an accident in
lighting coal oil stove, which ignited
some paper, &C., in the kitchen. The
value of extinguishers was exempliiied
in smothering the flames before they
could get beyond control.

opened and but few persons registered.
The registrars sit from noon till 8

Lomax's Departure.

The removal of the negro John
Lomax, the assailant of Miss Cissie
Costenbader, from the Jail in this city to
Westmorelond county, where he was
executed today, did not attract as much
attention as on the previous occasion,
when he was taken there to stand his
trial. A large number of persons, how
ever, were on the lookout yesterday, and
many followed the prisoner and the
deputies who had him in charge through
the streets to the steamer Harry Randall
on which Lomax was placed. There
were probably about one-hundred on
and about the wharf when the prisoner
arrived, numbers of whom forced their
way on the boat for the purpose of
gazing on human being who had less
than twenty-four hours to live. The
personnel of the crowds on the wharf
and those who formed the corte, e on the
street was in the main similar TO that Of
those who follow circus band wagons.
During most of the day there WAS con-
siderable uncertainty manifested by
officials of this city concerning the dis
position of the prisoner, as the deputies
from Westmoreland county failed to put
in their appearance until half-past four
O'Clock in the afternoon when they ar
rived here on the steamer Harry Ran
dali from Washington. The party was
composed of Deputy Sheriff George A.
Sandy with special deputies ]. NJ.
Shertzer, NJ. ii. Hudson, William
Brown, T. o. Atwell, and r. Randall.
They were met by City Sergeant Cox
who formally turned Lomax over to
them. The prisoner was handcuffed
to one of the deputies and was soon
the prominent figure in procession
through the streets. He, as usual, did
not seem TO comprehend the seriousness
of the occasion, and was rather disposed
to laugh than to. cry over his fate.
Upon reaching the wharf he was hustled
aboard the steamer and placed in the
saloon abaft the paddleboxes where he
was gazed on by most of the passengers
and by many who boarded the steamer
10 feast their eyes upon him. The
deputy who had been shackled to Lomax
was Invested of the handcuf, and
both ofthe prisoners hands were secured,
after which he was placed in chair
with a deputy ON each side of him.
About half-past five o'c clock the steamers
whistle sounded, all who were not pas
sengers filed ashore and the distance be-
tween the condemned man and the gal
lows began to be shortened. Before
leaving the Jail LOmax acknowledged he
was guilty of the crime for which he was
to suffer. Rev. Charles G. Cummings,
colored, paster of Roberts Chapel,
Methodist Episcopal Church, accom-
panied the prisoner, and was with him
at the time be was hung. He had been
giving the prisoner spiritual advice.
The scafiold and everything else was IN
readiness at Westmoreland Court house
for the hanging, which took place directly
in front of che Jail at noon. Lomax
said he was prepared to die, and had
made his peace with God. A large
crowd witnessed the execution. There
was no disorder and every thing passed
off decently and in order.
