SHOCK AT BARCELONA.
Quake Felt Yesterday Fulflls Proph-
ecy Of Fortnight Ago.

BARCELONA. March 2O.-An earth
quake shock was felt in this city at 3
o'clock this afternoon. No details yet
have been received.
The earthquake shock referred to in
the dispatch form Barcelona fulfills a
prophecy made about fortnight ago by
Ensle Marchand, director of the observa-
tory on the ic du Midi in the Pyrenees.
After M. Marchand made this predic-
ton he was questioned by the Spanish
authorities. and In reply sent them a let
.er. saying that his forecast was based
only on probability.
NJ. Marchand predicted an earthquake
for February p in the Alicante district
and his prophecy came true. His second
prophecy for the disturbance of today
created great CONSERVATION among the
superStitious lower classes, upon whom
the fulf1llment of NJ Marchand's first
forecast had made a deep impression.

Harrington admitted also. that II
was not his wife that he was looking
for. His wife is separated from him,
but there was another woman, WHO
was the object OF his search. She
had left him, he said. and he had a
vague idea that she was on Elizabeth
ST.. somewhere near Cass.ave. Tuck
ing his huge revolver into the front
of his trouser band, in true brigand
style, he started in at Mrs Hills resi-
dence, nearly frightening the propric.
tress into fits as he pushed her aside
and started TO search the place.
The patrol wagon was called, and
Harrington was taken to the central
station. Asked for his occupation. he
described himself as a capitalist. He
sold his saloon, he said, for $1,000.
He will probably be tried on the
charge OF disturbing the peace.

Chicago. July 22-Trade has reacted
to normal summer basis and demand
has moved into the dullest season of
the year. Receipts for the first half
of the week aggregated $50 horses,
against SS7 for the same period last
week and III for the like dates year
ago. The trade appears to be punched
in intervals of every other week, the
demand being brisk last week and the
movement active, while the current
week the same buyers are different and
looking for bargains. The clearance i'll
many instances is slow and unevenly
lower than last week, when combi-
nation of exceptionally favorable con-
ditions toned the trade in all classes
of commercial offerings. The general
scale OF prices for the same class of
offerings is unevenly lower and many
shippers are reporting losses on their
consignments. A few top drafters were
negotiated in the auction at s225@240
and matched pairs at s450@520 that
looked like bargains. as dealers did not
compete urgently even for the best
grades. While all classes are clearing,
the movement is slow.
