however. was the defeat OF Behr, one OF
Americas representatives abroad this
year, by G.. II. Palmer. IL may be said
for Behr that he was scarcely In top
condition after his voyage. but this Is
not to detract from the credit OF Palmer,
who won through better endurance and
better playing.
Mr.. Palmer is practically unknown as
a national player.
He covers court we'll, hits hard and
low. and places and lobs with great ac-
curacy. The match was close and hard
fought from the start. Behr lost the
first set. 3-6, and won the next two, Ga.

lies and clean passes.
The last set brought the spectators to
their feet over and over again. The play
was fast and killing. each scoring repeat
edly on sharp places or smashes. With
the score 40 against him. Palmer won five
straight games. The games then alter
mated TO 7-6 in his favor.
Behr now was plainly nervous and
worried The first two points went
against him. He won the third. lost the
next on a beautiful pass. and then lost
the game and match by netting the ball.

angles from Palmer's racket. The score

New York, April 25.-The stock market made bus feeble response today to any news developments, the determined ab- stention of operators on any important scale alone marking the state of specula- tive SCI ment that remained vaguely formed d hesitating in the highest de- gree. An important factor in making this condition the unsatisfactory news from the wheat crop.
 Present conditions in the winter wheat belt are generally decognized as unsatis- factory, nd the news from day to day Is watched for developments which may change nat condition. No such news was rec red today and the evidence of strength the wheat market was a bur den on stock market
 The esIction In the Bank of England discount ate was of no effect probably because 1t had been foreseen with prac- tical certainty. The Bank of France re- tains it's recent discount rate and while there was no such certainty felt that 1t would be reduced as in the case of the Bank of England, there was some expec- tation held of such action. The Bank of France in fact made a strong return In tiiC ldI66 TeuuCllOH Ol cTeullS d1u OL Oul- standing note issues. although it's cash gain was very moderate.

FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED. Some Members of the Crew Are In.
 Jured, But Not Fatally.

Columbus, Ga, April 25,-(Special.)- An eastbound Central of Georgia freight train, while en route from Birmingham to Columbus, travelling at the rate of about sevo.teen miles an hour, was wrecked near Dadeville at a point forty five miles from Columbus. yesterday aft ernoon. The engine and seven cars left the track, tumbling down a ten-foot em- bankment. The engine turned completely over, it's nose ploughing the mud.
 Engineer Dan M. McCook of Columbus jumped as the engine was turning and got out In time, although he received some painful bruises when he struck the ground. The negro fireman, A. " Brown, was caught in the engine as it turned and carried over in 1t. Before he could be rescued the lower part of his body was badly scalded. although he will recover A negro brakeman, standing the tender, while trying to decide which way to jump was hurled into space by the wob- bling of the tender when 1t left the track, and fell against barbed wire fence, re- ceiving painful although not serious in- juries.
 It was thought at first that the wreck was caused by a broken rail, but it was supposed afterward that 1t was due sim ply to a rough place in the track, as some new crossties had been put in, replacing old ones. The engine passed the bad place in safety, although the big piece of mechanism was badly jared. The en- zine went nine car lengths further, and Engineer McCook stuck to his post until the engine left the track and started to pumping along the crosste-s.
 Delay was caused in passenger sched- uled last night, but the track is clear again today.

WORKING AT WONDER. All Records of Nevada Mining Camps Broken By These Mines.

Wonder, Nevada, April 25.-(Special )-E. J. Horrigan, secretary of the miners union, stated today that 722 miners in good standing are working here in Won der, not counting the men that are em- ployed around Victor which Is the town site plated In the near vicinity of the Spider and Dasp, where upwards of 400 additional miners are employed. This makes the number of men now engaged in opening up the ore bodies of this camp between HOO and 1200. Mir. Horrigan stated that mine owners were continually mak- inS application to him for more men, anu that there are jobs waiting for at least 300 additional miners as soon as they can be obtained.
 This breaks the record of all mining camps in Nevada for the first year of their existence. Neither Tonopah, Gold field, Manhattan, Bullfrog nor Fairview had as many miners employed at the end of their first year, and, as a matter of fact Bullfrog In It's entire history, has never had within 200 of the number of miners employed already in Wonder This is no reflection on Bullfrog, which is prospering at this time It simply gives an idea of the extent of the discoveries of high grade silver ore that have been made here.
 Inc properties now fin shipping ore are: Nevada Wonder, Jack Pot, Ruby Billy the-Kid), Hercules. Golden Wonder, Rich Cullen, Colorados, View Wonder, Jumbos, Sp.der and Wasp, Dickey V., Vulture. and Christmas. There are in the neigh< borhood of 5000 sacks of ore piled on the dumps of these. properties, and the esti- mated averages of all of this is above $2tJ per ton.

 The opening was steady at an advance of 1 tc points in response to higher cables, and big English spot sales. At first there was some little hesitation and irregularity owing to the favorable show ing of the weather map, so far as the days conditions were concerned, but the outlook was for colder weather in the southwest. receipts ran light, bullish week end figures were expected, the big bulls were supporting the near months, which were also in demand from shorts, and the market gradually rallied, with the ad- vance >accelerated around midday by fresh patches of bullish new crop reports from the south
 During the afternoon prices sold up to a net advance of to points on the active months making a new high record on all positions for the current bull move- ment, but there was enough realizing and bear pressure to ease the market off a few points toward the close.
 Exports for the day were some six times the port receipts. but bears are predicting a slightly heavier movement, weather permitting, between now and the end of the month.
 Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1sc higher. Receipts at the ports to- day, 1885 bales, against 12,192 last week and 74-J last year. Tor the week, 75,000 bales against S,195 bales last week. and S4SH last year.
