CHICAGO MARKETS.

Chicago, July 22.-There was marked
variance etween the slumping provi-
sions market to-day and the highly
manipulated condition of September
wheat that influenced sharp advances
in all grains in the face of bearish con-
ditions. Outsiders, tired of carrying the
load of lofty prices of packing interests.
unloaded to-day with such vim that
broke pork rs cents a barrel. On the
other hand the rumor that a leading
packer was under September wheat,
pushed that cereal up sharply. Sym
pathy did the rest and July and Sep
TENDER closed &c up, July corn nc,
September corn NC, and July oats
&c higher and September oats 1@1Ac

The leading futures ranged as fol-
lows:

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of ships
and Shipping.
The tug Cambria will be hauled out
on Rourke's marine railway to-day to
have new rudder placed on her.

In his annual report on the trade
of Genoa, the British consul states that
the bill amending the shipping boun-
ties provisions of the merchant ship
ping law of 1896, referred to last year,
passed in May last but the regulations
for its application are not yet out. It's
object is to limit government liabili-
ties to a maximum of 100000 lire
(about 9320,000) per annum. The I'M
certainty as to its provisions, and the
suspension of the bill of 1896 had
paralyzing effect upon shpbuilding.
which cannot but gain by knowing ex-
actly how it stands. The provisions
of the new law may be summarized as
follows:
l. Five lire per quintal Is granted
on all metallic materials employed in
repairs executed in Italy to machin-
cry, boilers and accessories of national
or foreign ships, or in constructing ac-
cessory or spare portions of the same.

Macon News: There will be a num-
Der of disappointed people in Georgia
when a special regarding the fort
une left by one Hill in California, is
read in to-day's paper. The old man
left $4,000 for somebody, and a fam
lily in Georgia by that name have been
trying to establish their identity as
the daughters, nieces, nephews and
cousins of the old man. 1t has trans
pired that the man was from Massa-
chusetts, instead of being "a Confed-
crate veteran from Georgia" which
fact might have been recognized at
first, from the absurdity of supposing
that a "Confederate veterans from
Georgia" could ever own $4,000.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA

jackson Argus: With the facilities
which the farmers of Georgia have for
raising beef and the amount of money
that can be made out of the cattle in
dustry, it should never be necessary
to import a pound of beef into the
state nor to pay from s TO 25 cents a
pound for it, either. The day is COM
ing, we hope, when the farmers will
devote more time to such industries
and not so much to raising cotton to
sell at and cents a pound.

Fort Myers Press: Bill Brown and
son drove in from their Everglade store

so dry at his store in the Everglades
that he has had to set the Indians to
work digging for water for the oxen.
Last year at this season the Indians
came to the store in their canoes.

ton bounty of 35 lire per gross ton
if of iron or steel and of 13 lire if of
wood. Builders may also import from
abroad duty free one-third of the ma
terials required in the construction OF
the hull, provided that such one third
does not exceed 100 kilos per gross ton
measurement. 4. Steamers and sailing
vessels built of metal if respectively
not under 400 and 100 gross tonnage,

Noted Damage Suit Settled.

Warren c. Furry, of Van Bu- ren county, received from the Fris- co road a check for $17,SOO, in full settlement of judgment and inter- est rendered against the railway in the Fort Smith federal court one year ago, the case having been af- firmed in the United States supreme court about three weeks ago. This is supposed to be the largest amount ever given for personal injury in Arkansas. Furry while working as a locomotive fireman was injured in a collision near Springdale three years ago, his lower limbs being so badly burned as to cause amputa- tion, besides receiving compound fracture of the skull. The accident was alleged to have been caused by the failure of an operator to deliver orders to the train upon which Fur " was fireman. The Frisco road set up the defense that a fireman and an operator are fellow-servants. Furry received a verdict for sixteen thousand dollars. The case was taken to the court of appeals and thence to the supreme court of the United States, both the higher courts sustaining Judge Rogers de- , cisiOn.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Killed By a Negro.

James Cross, young white man, was murdered by Martin Nash, negro, at Pendleton, Desha county. The killing was witnessed by Col. Cross, father of the murdered man, and a younger brother. The weap- on used was a shotgun, and both barrels were discharged. Col. Cross and his two sons went to the steamboat landing to see Mrs. Cross safely aboard a steamer. Mrs. Cross had gone on the boat and the trip up the river had been resumed by the steamer when the tragedy occurred. Col. Cross had observed the negro Nash, armed with a shotgun, stand- ing around the landing. When the party started to return to the Cross home Col. Cross said to the negro: ''What are you doing here on my premises with a shotgun?" The ne- gro made no verbal reply. He turn ed and fired upon James Cross, with the result mentioned Young Cross fell dead. The negro then took to flight, but Col. Cross and Clay Cross opened fire on him with their revolvers and it is thought they wounded him in the leg, but he cluded them and making his way to Arkansas City, surrendered. Col. Cross did not know until the smoke of battle had cleared away that his son had been killed. He assumed that the negro was firing at him and did not intend to kill any one but him.
