MARGINAL PRICE
FIXED ON WHEAT.
Directory of Merchants Exchange
Takes Action to Check De-
cember Manipulations.

At the request OF certain members OF
the Merchants Exchange. the Board Of
Directors yesterday fixed the price for
marginal purposes at 81 cents for Decem-
Der wheat.
The campaign OF a certain coterie, said
to be headed by Corvin H Spencer. 10
corner December wheat, had been eui-
nently successful until yesterday. The
price has been steadily going up, and
opened yesterday at 81 cents per bushel-
In the course Of the session calls were
made as high as ssh cents, and the pros
poets we're that even higher calls would be
made to-day. ST. Louis prices for December
wheat are far above those OF Chicago and
other large centers. Based on commercial
value, the market IS said to be much too
high.
Several firms were being hard pushed,
Il IS said. and the general condition was
such that action by the Board Of Di-
rectors was considered necessary TO check
further manipulation Placing OF a mar
ginal price will prevent calls being made
at more than 10 per cent above the price
set.
That price is assumed to be the actual
commercial value.
The Chicago December wheat market
has not been affected by the manipula-
ton here and there has been absolutely
no occasion for a marginal price being
made there. The specific cause for ac-
ton here was that December wheat was
being sold at 10 cents above the real
value. the price being 81 cents as COM
pared with Slls cents in the Chicago mar
ket.
Elevator a-1ns are said TO be the prinei-
pal part OF the opposition.

United States Circuit Court to-day in the
case Of Mary +. Hayden. widow Of David
J. Hayden. against the Franklin Life In
surancs Company, when the issues will
be decided In favor OF the defendant.
David J. Hayden. a former real estate

Insurance Company. The Merchants sold
out its business 10 the Franklin, which
reinsured the policy holders
Hayden defaulted in a payment before
his death. which. under the rules Of the
assessment company, entailed forfeiture OF
the policy. AS IL was alleged that the
Franklin Insurance Company's policy
would have a cash value even II default
had been made on payments, the suit was
brought for this value.
Judge Adams announced at the close Of
the arguments that he would instruct the
jury to md a verdict in favor Of the IN
surance company, as the change OF the
company, in his opinion, did not AFFECT the
status Of the Insurance. which was still
assessment insurance. and governed By
the laws under which companies In that

RAILWAY WINS DAMAGE SUIT.
Court Holds That Proper Cow
catcher Was Used on Engine.

4 decision vas handed down by Judge
Thayer of the United States Court Of Ap-
peals in what was known in South Da-
kota courts as the ''cowcatcher'' case.
the point in question being the right Of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
Company to use a long or short cow
catcher withou; liability for accidents
when the short or stub variety failed
10 push distractions on the track. The
decision in favor Of the defendant.
Tne suit was brought in the south Da-
kO-a District OF the United States Circuit
Court by Eva l.. Briggs. widow OF q rail-
way fireman. who Was killed by the en-
glne running into a herd OF cate. The
contention was that the railway COM
pany was negligent in not equipping the
engine with a stub cowcatcher, as
long cowcatcher would have enabled the
engine TO cut its way through the cattle.
The opinion OF the court was that the
style OF coWcatcher had nothing TO do
with the accident, which would have hap
pened II other equipment had been used,
and that the railway company used the
equipment deemed safe and proper BY
other companies at that time.

was taken into custody August 8 One

aSo placed IN the box as accessories.

Countess Kwilecd is defended by seven
leading Polish lawyers Very great in
terest is manifested in the case here. as
the accused Countess and Count are well
of Berlin.
The Count in 1854 and bore him three chill
oren, the last in 1873. Then, the Count
and Countess claim, the latter gave birth
20 the son who IS the cause Of the present
proceedings. This son is said to have
been born January q. 1887. The prosecu-
uon claims that the latter Is the son Of
q peasant girl OF Parcze, in Austrian
Silesia, who is present as a witness and as
claimant for the child.
The session OF the court to-day was
wholly occupied with taking the testimony
OF the Countess. who is Of aristOcratic ap-
pearance- She stood erect holding a
iorgnette in her right hand and gesticu-
jating excitedly with her left while an
swering questions put TO her by the pre-
Siding Judge.
The Countess pleaded mot guilty. and
sweepingly denied all completely in any
criminal act
But the Countess was frequently cor
nered by the Judge.
She was unable to give satisfactory ex-
plantations OF many suspicious circum-
stances, and some damaging facts were
brought out. including that when the
Countess came to Berlin to await her
accouchement she said she did so be-
cause she could get better medical Etten-
ton here, but she did not call in 4 ply
Btcian and employed an obscure midwife.
The Countess. It was also shown by tie
testimony. intended going abroad for the
accouchement, and only desisted from so
her that the collateral heirs Of she estate
would suspect her.
Another point brought out to-day was
that the Countess refused TO see the fam
lily physician when ne came from Posen
to Berlin in order to attend her, and that
she also declined to permit him to examine
the child.
Count Misjislaw Kwilecld. a member of
the Prussian House of Lords, and his son,
Count Hector Kwileczi, a member OF the
Reichstag, contested. as next OF kin. the
legitimacy Of the Countesss son about

It is said that II treaties are negotiated
with Great Britain and France there will
be no difficulty encountered on the ground
OF nonretroaction, as treaties with these

It seems quite probable. therefore, that
both Kelley and Wainwright will be re-

and France, respectively, before the new
treaties are ratified.
