One More Experiment With the Peculiarly Diaboli cal Fluid. Capt. Bonfleld, of Anarchist- Trial Fame, Takes a Hand. Chicago, Feb. 16.— Secretary George J. Gibson, of the whisky trust, lias been indicted by the grand jury, and to-mor row morning, barring flight, will prob ably be again arrested and compelled to give bail in the state courts in addition to the $20,000 federal bonds already piled up against him. Attorney Longe necker spent several hours to-night in arranging the proper counts on which the whisky trust secretary, will be tried. The law under which he will be held is contained in the section of the criminal code relating to ihe possess on, manu facture and guilty knowledge of explo sives intended to be used for the injury of any building or person. The most important witness was ']'. S. Dewar. the United States ganger, who, it is alleged, was approached by Gibson with the scheme to blow up and burn the Shufcldt establishment. Dewar was accompanied to the grand jury room with a guard of live special government agents. States Attorney Lonsrrenecker conducted the inquiry. After Special Agent Brooks had told the jury of his work in unearthing the con spiracy to destroy the Shufeldts and Dewar's part in it, that person went in and displayed such a mass of damaging evidence against Gibson that little if any was needed afterwards. Dewar had the letters said to have been re ceived from Gibson and also the bottles of fluid and the infernal machine alleged to have been sent to him by the secretary. An experiment was made with the fluid in one of the vials, and it burst into a bright flame as soon as poured out on a piece of paper- The fluid was sworn to be precisely tin? same as was taken from the valise car ried by Gibson the morning of his ar rest. The infernal machine was not un sealed, but Capt. Bonlield, who took a leading part in the anarchist prosecu tion, explained what it was to the jury. The unanimous vote for an indictment, followed at once. The board of direct ors of the Distilling and Cattle Feed ing company makes the following state ment: We are holding our regular monthly meet ing in Chicago Instead of Peoria for the pur pose of ascertaining as far as possible the truth in respect to the charges made against the secretary of the company. Such wide spread publicity has been given to the charges, and so many false rumors are being spread throughout the country, that we deem it our duty to make a brief statement. Since our election as directors, we have devoted lime and Ik-si endeavors by honorable meth ods to the establishment of the business ot the company upon a paying basis. We have made such progress in this direction that for many years the company has been earning aud paying monthly dividends of one-half of one per cent, equal to (5 per cent per annum on its stock, and has in addition put aside a surplus each month. Our business Is showing continually a large increase in output for every month over the output for the corresponding month in pre ceding veins. Outside competition has never been felt a* little as during the past six months. In the midst of such unexampled prosperity- that any one interested in the company should imperil the immense inter ests of its stocknolders by such a scheme as is charged.we think no sane man will believe. In regard to -Mr. Gibson we have to say that he is a gentleman of character aud high standing, that he has been a faithful and efficient secretary to the company, and that we do not credit in the least that he is guilty of the crime charged against him. The interests of this company will, in our judgment, in no wise be affected by this charge. Mr. Gibson's resignation having been tendered and accepted, is furnished herewith: , __, ■ .„. ,_, . To the Directors of the Distilling and Cat tle Feeding Company. Gentlemen: A grave charge affecting my integrity has beeu pre ferred against me. I do not need to assure you that it is absolutely groundless, but until I shall be vindicated, as I surely will be when the facts are established and the conspiracy of which I am the victim has been exposed, I desire to relieve you of any possible disadvan tage resulting from my connection^with you. I, therefore, hereby tender my resignation as secretary of the company. I wish to assure you in the most emphatic terms in which a fact could be stated that I am absolutely in nocent of thecharee made against me and that 1 will, it justice prevails, suceed in fully establishing that fact, not only to your satis faction, but to the whole world. Respect fully yours, George J. Gibson. Peoria. Feb. 14, 1891. ,"•-"- Georges .1. Gibson, Peoria, 111.— Dear Sir: In accepting your resignation, which has been offered us, the directors assure you of their entire confidence in your integrity and honesty and testify to your unswerving faith fulness In the discharge of your duties, and they fully believe that you will be able to es tablish your innocence beyond question. J. B. Gkeexiiult, President. Chicago, Feb. 10. Peoria, 111., Feb. 16.— George J. Gib son returned from Chicago early this morning. He left here late Saturday night. It is not known whom he vis ited, or the object of his visit. He still adheres to the Story that the fluid in his satchel was an antiseptic which he and three others were to manufacture. BANKER COWLES ARRESTED. Evidence Shows His Wife Was Not Killed by Burglars. Clark, Neb., Feb. 16.- The failure of the coroner's jury to implicate any one for the murder of Mrs. C. \V. Cowles, wife of the Pacific bank presi dent, killed in her bed last week by sup posed burglars, has provoked much comment. A great deal of evi dence adduced during the investi gation tended to overthrow the theory that the crime was the work of burglars. The sum of §50, supposed to have been taken by the robbers, was later found in a teapot. The evidence unearthed yesterday was so contrary to the story of the burglary that the jury referred the case to the prosecuting at torney, lie announced that no pro ceedings would be instituted against suspected parties unless some citizens would voluntarily sign an information making charges. Omaha, Feb; 16. —A special from Clark. Neb., to the Bee says that Banker S. B.

Resolutions of Respect Adopted by the Stillwater Bar. SKI TOURNAMENT TO-DAY. A Very Elaborate Programme Pre pared—General City Gos sip. Yesterday afternoon was the time set apart by the court for memorial serv ices to the late Judge 11. R. Murdock, and at 2:30 nearly every member of the Washington county bar and several friends of the deceased were present at the court room. The following resolu tions were framed by a committee con sisting of Messrs. N. H. Clapp, Fayette Marsh, J. C. Ne tha way, C. I. Gregory, F. V. Comfort and J. N. Seniles, and in their behalf Mr. Clapp in a few appro priate remarks moved that they be adopted and spread upon the minutes of the court. Whereas, Death has again removed from among us one of the presiding officers of this court, who was also the presiding officer of the Washington County Bar association and a beloved friend of the members thereof; and Whereas, The bar of Washington county desire :o in some public manner pay an ap propriate tribute to his memory; therefore, belt Resolved, That in the death of Hon. Hollis It. Murdock, the stale in which he had so long resided; this court over which he had but recently been called to preside; the en tire bar of the First judicial district, and more especially his brethren of the Washing ton county bar, have each and all suffered a loss which we keenly appreciate and sin cerely mourn, a loss whicli, while its poign ancy may be less noticeable as the months and years roil on. can never be re paired nor the vacancy in our ranks satisfactorily filled. That judge .Murdock was a man of rare mental attain ments was known to us all. But his br.ef career as a presiding officer of this court, perhaps, demonstrated more clearly than anything else could have done how eminently tilted he was to adorn any position iv the state or nation to which members of our profession are honorably desirous of at taining. But it is not alone his loss to us as members of our profession or to the state at large that we meet to-day to lament. In every walk of life, whether in busiuess or in social circles, he was a man of mark; made such not by any noticeable effort or push of his own, but by that rare kindness of dispo sition, urbanity in deportment, and strict integrity under al! circumstances and con ditions that were possessed and practiced by him in so marked a degree. We had hardly paid our last sad tributes to the memory of his honored and illustrious predecessor before we are again called to mourn his loss, aud it is but just to say that no two men in our whole community "could or would be more sincerely mourned. Like his predecessor, he had been raised among us the best portion of his life and had contributed freely and fully out of his abun dant store of knowledge ami sound judgment to the building up of our city and state, and like his predecessor he had honestly and fairly earned that high place in the confi dence and esteem of his fellow citizeus in every wallc of life to which every man, but more especially every member of our pro fession, should aspire, and having thus com pletely rounded out his earth! v career he was called away while in the prime of life. And while the beneficent effect of such a career was and is most fresh upon the minds and hearts of us all, nndimmed by the lapse of time ©r the feebleness of age, Resolved, Tnat we deeply and sincerely sympathize with his immediate family and his large circle of relatives in their personal bereavement. If to us, who are only privi leged to meet him in the daily walks of our profession, his loss is so keenly feU and la mented, we feel and Know that lo those with whom a lifetimeof the intimate and endearing associations of home had been spent it must at last seem that his loss cannot be borne. And this expression of sympathy is made by us in the sincere hope that it may tend tb assuage their grief. Resolved, That we do move the court to order the resolutions spread at length upon its minutes and that an engrossed copy thereof be forwarded to the family of our •lamented judge. Mr. Clapp was followed by Messrs. Marsh, Castle and Percy B. Smith, who each paid glowing tributes to the mem ory of one who was dear to all with whom he was acquainted. At the close of the remarks Judge Williston arose and stated that he had met the deceased judge long . before Minnesota had be come a state, and that he had enjoyed his acquaintance. He stated that," al though Judge Murdock had only pre sided at one term of court in Goodhue comity, all of the attorneys and resi dents there voiced the sentiment that lie was an honorable man and a just judge, and that no one felt his untimely death more keenly than they did. • A decided change in the weather has greatly improved the chances for a suc cessful ski tournament in this city to-day. The boys have been very busy arrang ing the many details, and were" engaged yesterday in fixing the track, which is now in an excellent condition. The tournament at Lily lake to-day prom ises to be an event of interest, and it may safely be said that a large crowd will view the run. Mr. Gaalaas, the secretary of the local club, stated to a Globe representative yesterday that he had received a letter from the ski club at lshpeming, Mich., announcing that it could not be here, lied Wing will send a representation of TS, Hudson at least 40, ha Crosse 3 experts, and it is expected that St. Paul and Minneapolis will be well represented.

He Unloads Considerable Wheat, Corn, Oats and Provisions. The Market Honeycombed With a Number of Bearish Features. Wall Street Very Dull, and Lacking in Motive or Character. Foreign Stocks Exert the Most Influence of Any on the List. Chicago, Feb. 16.— Hutchinson was selling: wheat, corn, oats and provisions, and his was the dominating local influ ence in the grain pits. Tho continued liberal receipts of wheat and smaller decrease in the visible supply than the year before and heavy rains in Cali fornia were the bearish features; the predictel cold wave and the strong European markets were the chief fac tors having an opposite tendency. Fluctuations in May were confined to 97J'0@97%c as the highest for the first hour. After touching 98% c there was a break on free selling to 97%@97K» but there was a little recovery before the close. Corn was generally rather finn except during the break in wheat, when it sola oif somewhat in sympathy. There was no news of importance affecting values, and local influences governed the trade throughout, which was light. Oats were about steady. The market was quiet, attracting little attention outside of tlie iocal scalping crowd. The provision business was dull and generally heavy in tone, without anything special which cropped up to-day to account for the downward tendency of the prices. The receipts of hogs were rather under previous estimates, but there was no activity in the demands for them. There was more than enough for all who wanted anything in the line of provis ions, and at the close pork was 12)4c lower than at the corresponding time on Saturday, having in the course of the day been 5c lower than the prices at the close-on Saturday.

New York, Feb. 16.— The stock mar ket to-day showed no change in its pen era! dullness and lack of character, but the temper of the, speculation, if such it may be called, was most decidedly stronger. The grangers, Goulds and Yanderbilts led the upward movement in the general list, the first named being the most prominent in the general list and scoring .the largest final ad vances. The trading is still almost en tirely professional, and even the upward movement to-day was owing more to clique snpDort than any inlitience of a - general nature. The foreigners were if anything the most powerful influence and London this morning came higher, while all the arbitrage houses bought in the early tradine especially of St. Paul and Louisville & Nashville. Union Pa cific, Rock Island and Burlington fol lowed, while certain specialties exhib ited marked strength at times. The in dustrials were very dull until the after noon, when Distillers, which had been drooping, were suddenly lifted on the declaration of the dividend, nearly 4 per cent. There was considerable cov ering of shorts in Louisville, Union Pa cific and Rock Island, but Pacific Mail was helped by favorable reports on the shipping bill again, and the inside sup port was very noticeable in Chicago Gas. Other movements generally were insignificant, and the market fiuallv closed dull, but strong, at the best prices of the day, leaving most of the list fractionally higher than Saturday, though Wheeling and Lake Erie rose 1%, Burlington & Quiney I.V, and C, C, C. & St. Louis, Chicago Gas, St. Paul, Rock Island and Louisville & Nashville each 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were less animated than of late. The trading was reduced to ?1, --091,000. The market for stocks dis played a firm tone here and there, but there was much less vim to the move ment. Most of the issues traded in showed no change whatever, though, throughout the day. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected. Petro leum opened steady, but became dull and remained so until the last hour, when selling from the West broke the market. On' a slight rally the market closed steady.

Chamber of* Commerce. Wheat Futures— arrivals of wheat to day were 341 cars, including what came Sun day. That was about as much as was ex pected and caused no surprise to affect the markets.. The farm movement of wheat was reported ligut in the amount delivered in country elevators, leaving a decrease of 148, --000 bu in the latter for the last week. There is prospective decrease of more for the pres ent week. Opening markets were quiet, and later, after a little firmness, the feeling was weak, and May sold down below the lowest figures reached Saturday. Liverpool was firm. Later in the day prices advanced, and about noon were up to closing of Saturday, with or dinary fluctuations after it. Total receipts at the four principal spring wheat points since Aug. 1, the beginning of the crop year, foot up: Minneapolis, 34,520, --616 bu; Dtduth, 11,216,710 bu: Chicago, 10,718, --154 bu; Milwaukee, 4.080,516 bu, making a total of 61,135,996 bu against 68,888,682 ba dur ing the same time last year and 43,643,037 bu in 1889. . .The total receipts of wheat at the four principal winter wheat points, Toledo, St. Louis, Detroit and Kansas City, from July 1 to dale, are 21. 51. bu against 21.610,599 bu in land 25,805,490 bu in 1889.

Local millers bought spot wheat freely at the outset, but were soon filled up. and, with a weakness in futures, held off for a break. While they bought early in the session they paid mostly about OS' _<■ for No. I northern. After that, and while futures were weak, it was hard to get much above 93c for ordinary country wheat. The poor wheat was dull and slow, for shippers figured to hold off and buy at the last, and get some advantage from the necessity of sellers.

The flour . markets are quiet, with a very steady movement and few late price changes. The additional freight charges now are some thing of a hindrance, for it is the addition of 16c per bbl, and may make the difference be tween a loss and a profit, which would be enough to cause a mill to be active or idle. Considerable patent flour could De bought to day for $4.75, and some, perhaps, at $4.50, while all would like to get about §4.80©1.85, it is likely. Foieign bids are too low, and the domestic demands too limited now to be satisfactory selling to. either. Shipments, 20.185 bbls.
