The Slayback Tragedy. [Special Telegram to the Globo.l St. Louis, Oct. 16.— Slayback-Cock rill tragedy was the one subject of interest here to-day, and as the feeling against Coekrill had been sedulously worked up by Siayback's friends, and a very one-sided account of the affair was published by one of tiie morning papers, the survivor of the fatal encounter has been freely condemned. The injustice of this will be seen when it is known that of the four witnesses of the affray, three testified on oath on the in quest that Slayback was an armed aggressor. The Globe correspondent interviewed W. H. Clopton, who made the following flu! statement of his connection with the affair: i-I was at the office of Col. SI ayback at 4:30 on business. When I got through and wis about to go, he asked mo to sit down, but I told him I wanted to go to a publish er in the rear of the building. I went, and on coming, back Slayback caught me by the arm and we went to the office of the Post-Dispatch. On arriving ihei'31 followed Slayback up the stairs. We were both walking hastily.He took one rapid step when near the door and entered, when the door was closed. I put my hand on the knob, entered and saw Slayback taking off his coat and heard him say: "Don't draw that pistol on me.*- When the word "draw" •was enunciated I heard a pistol fired. I approached Coekrill and forced his arm toward the window. Slayback called me, an 1 I turned, and he had closed with Coek rill. Seeing Slayback bleeding I released Coekrill, and eased Slayback to the floor. I had gotten down on my right knee hold ing Slayback, and on looking up saw an excited person whom I know to be a news paper man with a pistol at my head. I told him to put up his pistol saying: * "Don't you see my friend is dead _" when the pistol was low ered. When Col. Slayback entered the room he closed the door, Coekrill was in the act of rising, and Slayback commenced taking off his coat with his right hand thrown be hind hi.-i to enable him t>_<» catch the right coat sleove with his left hand. He called on Coekrill not to draw that pistol on him. When I- went into Col. Siayback's office was sitting with Col. Broadhead and an other gentlemen. I sat with him until he he read the editorial of the Post-Dispatch, omitting the card. He then took another edition of the same paper out of his desk and read another editorial. He asked me if I would go and see Coekrill with him. When he had got to tho foot of the stairs I told him he had better let me go and see Coekrill. I asked him if there was any thing of a personal nature between him and Coekrill, and he replied that there was not; that their difficulties were all settled. I told him I would go and see who was re sponsible for the editorial, and when I had done so that I would serve him in any ca pacity. He insisted on going himself, and said that no apology would satisfy him; that he would just slap Coekrill in the face and demand an apolo gy afterward. Col. Slayback made no other threat, save that of slapping Coekrill in the face. He had no pistol. He was not unduly excited and made no motion, ex cept to take off his coat. He was moving toward Coekrill, and had no pistol in his hand whatever. By the time, he closed with Coekrill I had the latter by the right arm, in which he held the pistol. Slayback called me. I turned, and seeing his face covered with blood, released Cockrili's arm and went to my friend's assistance. Coek rill passed out of the room with the pistol in his hand. While I was relieving the wounded man, a policeman entered and went to the reporter's room, and subse quently, when the crowd had gathered to my office, Col. SlaybaGk died in my pres ence and in my arm?. I should judge that he lived only a minute after the shot . was fired. I heard no word from Coekrill. He spoke no word, and had he done so. I would have unquestionably heard it.'' This Clop ton substantially repeated at the inquest. • (Western Associated Press") St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 16. — was expected that counsed for Col. Coekrill would apply for his release on bail. this morning, but the evidence taken before the coronor's jury not yet being written out, and there fore not in position to submit to the court, and owing to the fact that Judge Laughlin, of the criminal court, is sick, .action in the case will be deferred till Wednesday.. No charge has yet been made against Mr. Coekrill, but it is .understood the coroner will swear out a warrant very soon. '■ -. \ . >_•■;';'•,■''"j. ' . Frank H. Hard,' Democratic congress man from the Toledo, O., district, is here, and will act as advisory counsel for Col. Coekrill. These gentlemen are old and warm personal friends. It is stated this evening that Emery A. Storrs, the distin guished lawyer of Chicago, will come here and assist, if not take charge of the pros ecution. K._>i____ St. Louis, Oct. 16.—Quite a sensation was created this afternoon by a report which was circulated on the streets, that Morris Michael, a pawnbroker, of No. 6 north Fourth street, had declared that the pistol that John M. McGuffin bad -testified to have taken away from Col. Slayback in the shooting affray at the Post-Dispatch office last Friday evening really belonged Dailu to Slayback. and that he (Michael) had sold it to him. Dr. Prank, the cor oner late -this evening recalled the jury that sat on the inquest, and sum moned Michael before it, who swore he identified the weapon as the one sold to Col. Slayback about four months ago, and that it still retained his private trade mark. This establishes the ownership of the pistol, about which there has been so much doubt, and. overthrows that part of Clopton _ testimony which. believed Slay back was not armed. In fact, it changes the aspect of the whole affair, and is re garded by Cockrili's friends as an addition al and very strong point in his favor. St. Louis, Oct. 16.The Bar association of this city held a meeting to-day, and adopted a long resolution on the death of Col. Slayback. After paying a glowing tribute to that gentleman's character, abil ity, legal attainments and general social qualities, it says: "It is especially incum bent with the bar to anticipate the event of a judicial inquiry. A most valuable life has been destroyed, a happy hearthstone shattered in the midst of one of the largest cities of the land, a. deed of homicidal violence has been perpetrated Into the circumstances attending the com mission a searching investigation will be made. If the homicide be proven to be felonious, we hope and believe tli8 pun ishment will be condign, but it is not our duty here and now to determine this ques tion. As lawyers we defer to the law, but passing from the actual to lie as yet uucertaiued circumstances of j this bloody deed, . we feel' it our duty to protest against the spirit of ruffianism which is abroad, the wanton em- i ployment in speech and writing of intern- I perate,licentious and defamatory language, j the resort on frivolous pretext to deadly weapons, and the encouragement of a sen- | timent which may impel a sensitive spirit to throw away life in a demonstration Hint ! death is not feared.".

Collyer as pastor of the Unity church, Chicago, made his debut as Ham let at the Grand Opera houso this evening before a cultivated audience, physically measured by the capacity of the house. His somewhat sudden transit from the pulpit to the stage engendered many par tisan, antagonisms and friendships, and predictions of success and failure were about equally divided. When Miln first appeared absolutely self-possessed and with the ease of one to the . manner ..born, . the en: I re audience* applauded demonstratively. After each scene he was recalled. Tne general verdict was that ' his Hamlet was a distinct and individual impersonation. Towards : the last, apparently encourag.d by his cordial reception, he overtaxed his voice and showed a slight tendency to rant.

Small Receipts and Heavy Shipments of Corn and Hog Product. .... . j .... ... [Special Telegram to the Globe.] '• Chicago, Oct. —The markets - on 'change Jp-day for the leading cereals and for provisions, were active and stronger, the shorts being the principal buyers and absorbing all offerings. On the regular board a good advance was secured in all markets. Although the highest figures were not sustained in the afternoon, yet the quotations at the close of the day were higher than. at the end of Saturday's busi ness. On the board [wheat sold i_£_.l_l£c higher than on the . preceding business day: corn %@X%e higher; oats £±<glc; pork 2'0@50c, and lard 10@ On call,' however, under the influence of liberal of ferings' wheat declining J 8 "fi\ ] 4 'c from the closing figure at 10 o'clock, pork was eas ier and lard a shade lower.' Corn, however, continued in active request, and sold up .-4'_. '}-<c further. Oats'also wore firm and steady. For regular wheat quite an active speculative demand existed, and the feel ing developed was stronger and prices higher. Foreign advices were 'favorable, and New York was reported firmer. Oar receipts show an increase, but the arrivals were for forty -eight : hours. ' The market opened firmer and @J^c higher, ruled strong and advanced in all lj^_rl^c over the closing figures of Saturday. The de mand was good from the speculative inter est and the offerings not large. Later the market eased off a trifle, prices receded about %c, fluctuated, and finally closed about lVjC higher than the closing figures Saturday. The futures advanced in about the same degree, November, December and year scoring a gain of about I3_c. On the call board, the offerings were rather free, too large, in fact, for the advance to be fully sustained, and the market eased off slightly. The demand for spring was good, and although tho receipts were heavier the market was firmer and higher. Winter j was in fair demand, and firm (at Saturday's, price. The flour market {showed no particular change, being steady, and the inquiry lim ited. . ;•( The corn market v_p3 again active, and the feeling consider__bly unsettled...

'• • The weather was cloudy, and reports of rain in the west were received.- Shor.s j we _ anxious to provide for their out standing contracts,^and .the demand on speculative account was active.

The market closed jii@lc higher than closing figures on 'change Saturday ruled somewhat unsettled, and then ad vanced after some fluctuations to a point l^c higher for November, 2%c higher for year, and lt£@l?4C for next year's deliv ery than the closing figures Saturday, then eased off a trifle, and finally closed about ?4C higher for November, l^c higher for year, l._£c higher' for January, lc higher for May than the closing figures on 'change Saturday. The demand was almost entire ly speculative, shippers buying sparingly at the advanced figures. The cloudy weather and reports of heavy rains in the west had perhaps some influence on the market. On call the cereal was even in greater request, and notwithstanding the little drop in wheat and provisions, made a very perceptible advance in the face of the unloading of over 3,000,000 bushels on the call board below, which amount was eagerly taken by the shorts. Of year corn alone a million and a half bushels changed hands. Reports from various sections of the country are to the effect that there is a feeling prevailing among farmers in all sections that the extent of the crop of 1882 has been overestimated, and that they can realize most from their corn by holding it until next summer, when many of them expect to get 75c. . It. is probable that many farmers who can afford to do this, wiil. The high price of hog products is an argument quite con vincing to those who advance this argu ment. Oats showed an encouraging advance to day, largely influenced by light receipts and the conditio of other markets. - The boom in provisions has not yet be gun to abate, pork .coming very near touching $25. - An active demand prevailed for hog products, and- tho market ruled strong during the greater part of the ses sion, accompanied with a material advance in prices for . all the principal descrip tions.

The arrival of hogs the last few days has fallen off rather than in creased. The number received on-Sunday , and to-day being but 9,000 and on Satur- ] day only 2,822. These light receipts are not calculated to bear the mess pork and lard markets. The amount- of wheat added to that in store in Chicago elevators to-day . was somewhat larger than for several days past, as 112,889 bushels were received and but 56,210 bushels shipped out again. In St. Louis the receipts were nearly as heavy and other markets showed an increase.' THE WEEK JUST PAST has been rather evaatful oa 'change in the wheat market. There was a fair speculative " business .in this market during the week under review, and prices ruled firm from the be ginning to the end, advancing steadily, and the close seller October was 2c. higher than it closed last week, November I..4C. higher, December lj^c. higher, and. year 2c. higher. The receipts during the week were fair, but there was a steady . oat ward m6vement, the shipments exceeding the- receipts - by • over 125,000 bushels. Strong parties were believed to be • still in the deal, and determined to hold the market, and possibly force prices up. This has a tendency to keep the shorts a little nervous, and, while they bought quite free ly, there was but little disposition to sell, and hence the market was gradually bid op, though at no time was there any ex citement. Bat the unsettled and buoyant feeling in the corn market was perhaps the most direct cause for the firmness in wheat. There was a brisk speculation in corn all the week, attended with a good deal of excitement and a sharp advance, and the effect was felt in nearly all other speculative markets, wheat sympathizing more closely than any other. The visible supply of this grain at latest dates was 13,916,000 bushels against 13,140,000 bush els the week previous, and 20,176,000 bush els for the corresponding week a year ago. The amount of float received for the week was 5,790 barrels; shipped 88,707 barrels. Received for the corresponding timo last year, 126,729 barrels; shipped 109,448 bar rels. This market was more active, and trading for the week heavier, and with the tone of the market improved from what it has been ever since the moving of the new crop. This condition and favorable change has been brought about by the slow moving of the new crop of wheat and the scarcity of the more desirable brands of flour, and an improved demand for the same, and dealers are more hopeful as to the future of the market. The home trade have been buying quite freely, and have kept the market well clear of the finer Minnesotas and hard wheat, and of the better winters, with something of a disposition on the part of these buyers to stock up and accommodate a supply on hand rather than have the deal er carry the goods as has been the case for some months past. Shippers and export ers have been on hand, : and. the foreign buyers have taken more than usual of the better export stock and the low grades, and the movement has been much more free than for soma in.nth., pa-..

During the correspond ing week of last year the receipts were 2418,000 bashes and. the" shipment. 1,826,000 bushels. The amount of cor in sight is 5,676,000 bushels against 8,650,900 bushels a week ago and 28,121, 000 bushels for the corresponding week of last year. These figuie; show why high prices can now be so easily forced in the face of a threatened extraordinary crop. Daring the week this market was charac terized by much activity, attended by con siderable excitement and higher prices, and at the close cash No. 2, or October, ' was 6_|C higher than last week. i November 4%c higher; January 3}-^c higher; year 5j^c higher, and May 2 '4'c higher. The principal cause of the ad ; vance has been I THE OPEEATIONS OF A CLIQUE to which reference was made last week, ! which it was believed had been formed for the purpose of cornering the market or at least "squeezing" the shorts. The combi nation was represented to be very strong, and during the entire week the members of it were liberal purchasers. The shorts, in view of the situation, became extremely nervous and began. to buy in freely, and finding themselves in competition with the bulls, 7 were compelled to bid prices up in order to get what they wanted. - The October option advanced the most, but all other options showed a good deal of improvement, year .being especial-, ly strong.- The light receipts favored the bulls very materially, being only 310,000 bushels against 2,118,000 bushels for the corresponding week last year, and nearly 650,000 _ bushels less than the shipments during the week. Besides, there were re ports that the crop had been greatly over estimated,-some publications putting the estimate only at two-thirds of the average. All these influences combined to excite the market and bring about the improvement. The "milking" process, which almost al ways attends - incipient corners, was not wanting, and there were occasional breaks, some of them very decided, but were invar iably followed by an up turn in prices, the reaction - generally going higher than be fore the break. _/•. • PUDM-ERS REBELLION.

Stall's address was a review of tho disreputable tactics of the Nelson gang before and at the Detroit convention. He gave Thunder ing Gordon and the thieving Minneapolis pine land a thorough going over in his own peculiar and forcible style. Kindred's connection with the Northern Pacific Rail road company was very satisfactorily ex plained. Mr. Stall concluded with an eloquent peroration on the lights and duties of citizenship, and the necessity of people to set down hard on this man Nel son and his scheming, brothers. Wm.
