BOSTON, Mass, Oct. I'm striking
contrast TO the scene witnessed in
Boston somewhat more than hun

Mayflower in Boston harbor was hailed
by salutes from the United States
cruiser Chicago and the British cruis

With bands playing alternately the
patriotic airs Of Great Britain and the
United States the visiting soldiers dis
embarked and were received by the
Boston Ancients, who turned out for
the occasion In full force. Al parade
was formed and the visitors were es.

Condition Of Grain Market.

CHICAGO. Oct %. Wheat Market
Is about / to IA higher than yeslor'
day. II was quite strong early and
rallied sharply, but the anxious shorts
being pretty well covered, Il sold or
later Liverpool was one-half higher
and on a better spot demand and on
strength from this market. With the
exception of st. Louis the action Of
their markets is about the same as
ours. Foreigners were expected COW
ering shorts to some extent, but
there was no improvement in the busi-
ness reported for export and demand
from that source is slpv. Clearances
for The week were about 10000, 900,
against 60,000,000 last year. The
Northwestern Miller says the fine
weather has expedited threshing and
benefited the damp wheat and that
reports of damage are less than were

week and are now II 500 600. against
100000 last year The Modern Mill
er was indifferently bearish. The Wis
ible supply on Monday will likely
show liberal increase. We see no
change in conditions. We need bet
ter export demand than we are get
ting. The local conditions In st. Lou
is impart a feature of strength to the
market which Is hardly legitimate II
serves to keep the short interest with
In limits. however. We still feel that
wheat should be sold on the rallies
and that the trend Of prices will be
lower.
Corn Market Is firm and fraction
ally higher. Country offerings con.
tinue very small and the cash demand
fairly good. There was further GOV.
ering of many shorts by prominent
local buyers The cash situation is
not weak. II is undoubtedly true.
however, that the sharp decline In
prices of late Is the cause Of the fall
ing off in country offerings. Just how
long II will take holders to get used
to present prices or how much of n
rally Il will take TO increase their Of
ferings remains to be seen.

WHITECAPPING IN INDIANA. "A
double whitecapping occurred early
Monday morning in Johnson Township,
sixteen miles from Nashville, Ind. The
victims were James Mofiett and Els
worth Hashman, living one mile apart.
Shortly after midnight a mob of forty
masked men broke into Mofetts home,
dragged him from his bed, tied him to a
tree in the yard, and gave him forty
lashes on the bare back with hickory
switches. He was carried back into the
house, and in the presence of his wife
was told that unless he ceased his visits
to a certain house Of unsavory reputation
in the neighborhood and stopped beat
ing his wife, the punishment would be
repeated. Moffett promised, The mob
quietly went to the Hashman house,
where the programme was repeated.
Prosecutor Miller and Mayor Dunn
held a court of inquiry at Bloomington,
Ind, yesterday and examined the VIC
tins of the recent whipping. The names
of eight persons, supposed to have aided
in the outrage, have been secured, and
arrests will follow today.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING. - Leopold
Wertheimer, a wealthy dry goods mer-
chant, of New York, was shot three
times at his home in west One Hundred
and Fifteenth street early yesterday.
He was wounded in the chest, arm and
right side, and is in serious condition.
Charged with the shooting, the po-
lice have arrested Joseph Simpson,
thirty years old. The injured man is
thirty-two years old, and member Of
the firm Of Aaron & Wertheimer, dry
goods merchants, who recently were
burned out at their place of business, in
Third avenue. Simpson, the police say,
was employed there as watchman prior
to the fire. At the time Of the fire two
persons were burned to death. The mo-
tive for the shooting is mystery both
to the police and the Wertheimer family,
and Simpson, who was very cool when
arrested, refused to make any statement
Since the fire Werthemier has not been
engaged in any business. The firm dis
charged its employees, including Simpson,
but he got work as a motorman. 4
week ago he lost that position. He had
a long talk with Mr.. Wertheimer Mon
day afternoon, and returned that night.
He again talked with Mr.. Wertheimer,
and the family think Simpson wanted
money. The latter returned to the
Wertheimer home at an early hour yes
trday and the shooting occurred in the
hallway, after which Simpson walked
away, and later was arres ed. All Simp-
son would say was that Wertheimer
owed him money for something he had
done, and had refused to pay him.
Wertheimer denied this, but said Sim
pson had demanded money from him as
a brother Mason.

EXTENSIVE FIRE. The plant of the
International Salt Company, located at
South Chicago, with three boats
lying in the Calumet river, were des-
troyed by fire last night The loss is
estimated at 81 $50, 600, that of the In
ternational Salt Company being placed
at $500, 900. The building of the salt
company covered nearly sixteen acres,
extending along the Calumet river. In
these buildings were stored 400, 900 tons
of salt, and the greater part of this is
said to have been ruined by fire and
water. Included in the company's loss
are the docks extending l, 500 feet along
the Calumet river. The fire threatened
to spread to a number of grain elevators
along the river and to other large manu-
featuring plants, but after a hard fight,
the flames were got under control.
About 1875 freight cars were consumed.
Fifty of the burned cars are said to
have belonged to the Michigan Central
Railroad Company.

SENSIBLE OBSERVATIONS pas
toral letter the Most Rev. Paul Bruchesi,
Roman Catholic Archbishop of Montreal,
condemns labor leaders and organizers,
and advises the laboring classes To pay
no heed to strike agitators, but to look
for arbitration on just and reasonable de-
mands. In part, the Archbishop says:
Responsibility is not incurred by those
leaders and writers who profit by the
slightest conflict between labor and capi-
tai to foment discord and rebellion and
to inspire hatred toward employers. They
are the most dangerous foes of the peo-
pie whose interests they pretend to serve.
Let not our laboring classes heed their
suggestions. They have absolutely moth s't-
ing . to gain. Deceived by these false
friends and urged on by them to commit
the mostyamentable acts they will, on the
contrary, forfeit public sympathy"
