Pennsylvania Ballot lieform. IlAKiasr.ritG, Pa., Way 28.— Both brandies of the legislature remained in session all night in order to dispose of as much business as possible prior to final adjournment at noon to-day. The conference committee to which the bal lot reform bill as amended was referred reported the bill amended to such ;ui ex tent as to almost restore the measure to the shape in which it passed the house originally.

Later the vote by which the report was not agreed to in the senate was recon sklertd and the bill now goes to the governor for his action. Jesse Baker, the Introducer of the bill, says it is now acceptable to him as the best bill possi ble of attainment at this session. An Indiscreet Juror. Columbus, 0., May 28.— a decided sensation was created in the court room this morning at the Elliott trial.

The defense at once attempted to have the whole jury discharged. It was shown, however, that but three men had seen the writing. These men were discharged and Juror Beam, who did the writing, was held for further disposition. STILLWATER NEWS. A St. Paul Man Purchases the Steamer Mower. Capt. J. C. Smith, of St. Paul, has pur chased tie steamboat Gracie Mower", formerly belonging to the late Martin Mower, at Arcola. The boat is now Jy ine at the levee here, and is being fitted up with two upright engines purchased at Reading. Pa. Capt. Smith stated yes terday that he wouid run the boat be tween Groveland Park, Minnebaua and Fort Suelling in connection with the street railway. He is also negotiating with the South Stillwater Shipbuilding company for the construction of a steamer to take the place of his steamer St. Paul, sunk near Memphis, Term., v little over a year ago. The boat when built will be used in the Southern trade and will be somewhat similar to the one being constructed at South Stillw«ter for Dnraut & Wheeler, of this city. Mr. Smith has shipped the machinery which was formerly in his rfld boat to South Stillwater, where it will be put into the new boat. Howard Hanson, a la*l about seven years of age, was drowned yesterday in Lake St. Croix, opposite A. T. Jenks? warehouse. He, in company with a companion, was running on the logs when he fell in and sank out of sitht. His companion started up town to give the alarm, and ere any one ar rived at the lake the un fortunate boy had been under water about ten minutes. Capt. H. L. Chase, of the steamer Bun llersey, heard of the accident, and hastily ar rived at the spot. Pulling off his coat, he dived three times before he recovered the body. Drs. McCotnb, Freleigh and Voigt did all in their power to resusci tate the boy, but all attempts proved unavailing. The deceased was a son of Xels Hanson, the South Main street butcher. Warden Garvin returned yesterday from Heron Lake, Minn., where he pur chased a carload of hemp from J. T. Smith, to b? used In the manufacture of twine at the prison factory. Mr. Smith has upward ol 150 tons of hemp, and, if the sample now at the factory turns out to be trood. all of it will be used in the factory here. A great Irouide with Minnesota hemp is that it contains too much dirt. The reason lor this is as cribed to the fact that the average Min nesota fanner does not take pains enough in preparing the product for the market. Mi. Smith has about bOO acres of hemp under cultivation this year. The only case on trial yesterday in the district court was that of The Bowden & Murray Lumber Company vs. Samuel White et. al.. of St. Paul Park. When the plaintiff's testimony was finished the defendants moved to dismiss the case. The motion was overruled, how ever, by Judge Williston, and the grind goes merrily on. The c;ise is for the re covery on a bill of lumber furnished the defendants. R. C. Libby, of Hast ings, has a similar case against the defendants, and both will be argued at the same time. Pipestftne county contributed three to the population at the prison yesterday. They were Charles W. Wells, grand larceny, second degree, one year; Charles Tilbury, burglary, third degree, one year; Patrick Hartiean, burglary, third degree, two years. The steamer Bun Ilersey met with an accident Wednesday evening while op posite Lakeland. A pin on ono of the cranks broke, allowing the piston to knock out one of the cylinder heads. She was towed to this city by the steamer Ellen M., and will be laid up for several days. Arrangements are still in progress for a twenty -seven-hour go-as-you-please contest at Music hall next week. Frank Hart, 11. O. Messier and other pedestri ans will take part in the race. B. P. Taber, of The Taber Lumber company, Keokuk, lowa, is in the city looking over the \oz market. He ex pects to purchase a large amount of logs before returning to his home. • The Park Theater Opera company, of St. Paul, will present "Pinafore" at the Grand opera house this afternoon, and this evening "The Chimes of Normady" will be presented. The city schools close to-day for a three months' vacation. A large num ber of teachers will spend their vaca tion in the East. A large percentage of business houses will observe Decoration day to-morrow afternoon by remaining closed during the afternoon. Gen. J. F. Norrish. of Hastings, a member of the board of prison man agers, was in the city yesterday, CATTLE NOTES. A good grade, that has been kept growing all its life will fatten down as well at twenty months of age as a three year-old will. Dairymen are delighted with the promised provisions for the dairy ex hibit at the Columbia fair. The board of managers have decided upon the erection of a suitable building, which, with its outbuildings and yards, is to cover five acres of ground and cost $75,000. Experiments with the milk tester are opening the eyes of dairymen as to the vast difference existing in the jxilking qualities of cows of near kin in the best milk-giving breeds. In the majority of herds there are individuals that do "not pay for their keep, and yet their per formance is sufficient to pass muster until subjected to an investigation by the tester or the analysis. When test ing becomes general "the butcher will have plenty of cows offered to him for slaughter. JIINWEAI'OI.IS K!,U. ESTATE.

MODERATE DEALINGS No Apparent Interest in the Market by the Pub lic. Saturday Being* a Holiday, Evening 1 Up of Trades Was in Order. Values Were Easily in an Up ward or Downward Di rection. In Wall Street Dullness Was the Prevailing Feat ure. Chicago, May 28.— Trading in wheat to-day was of only moderate volume. The outside public was not taking much interest in the market, and the generality of the trade was inclined to content itself with evening up Us trades, because after the close to-mor row there will be no more trading until June I, since Decoration day, a holiday, falls on Saturday. This left the scalpers and the shorts in May ns about the only persons in terested in current prices. Speculators here and in New York were working for a "scalp" by advancing prices to sell on. Tills plan was more easily conceived than carried cut, for, although the news was bullish and. a little brisk buying easily lifted values, they were more easily de pressed, because the market had no real sup port. The consequence was that though the market averaged higher than the close yes terday, the scalpers were not able to get rid of much of their holdings at a profit. The higher opening and subsequent advances were based on, the report that the French .government had accepted the proposal of the deputies to revictual the French fortresses with a six months' supply. After a recession due to the selling out of some of the grain early, the market reacted on a re newnl of the old report that the German government would remove the duty on wheat. When this had lost its grip the market was revived from lime to time by the bullish news, such as that there were free clearances -present and prospect ive, from the seaboard; that bt. Cools bad fold a round lot for export. and that Chicago had forwarding orders for a considerable amount. Under these influences the market fluctuated within a narrow range, becoming dull and steady during tbe latter part of the session. July 'opened at 9 'iVac against IWVbc at the close yesterday, advanced to Sl.OUfe, reacted to D%c, rallied to 51.0 C% again, hung around $l@l.<X)i/t and closed at $l.tiuU. Corn opened strong under the influence of light receipt* and a rather urgent demand from the shorts in May. As the day advanced it was found that the deliveries on .May con tracts were large, and the estimates of re ceipts for to morrow were large. The result was a break from the high point, but a rally followed later. July, which closed yesterday at 54% c, opened at 54V2U and advanced to 55% c, broke to 54<&q and rallied to 54% c. Oats were in the main controlled by corn, whose fluctuations were followed rather closely. Provisions were dull and the small fluctuations noted in them were ttic result of sympathy with grains.

New York, May 28.— Dullness was the most prominent feature of the stock market. The fluctuations were especially, upon a parity with the amount of business done. The lack of interest in the market on the port of those operators who are of weight in the specula tion was also made apparent in the absence of any particular tendency of prices during the latter portion ot the day. The operations or the day. in fact, were principally confined to the efforts of the trading element to scaih a few fractions 0:1 the short side lor a quick turn, though London had a few orders to sell Union Pacific. Louisville &' Nashville and St. Paul in the early trading, and the usual proportion of regular business. The operations In St. Paul were on ' a decidedly smaller scale than usual of late, and Burlington fairly dis jailed its leadership in the market owing to the favorable statement for the month of April. The statement, however, was sulfi cieut to make only a s-mnli fractional gain in the stocK. There was little or nothing doing in the Gould stocks, and the Wabash. pre- 1 ferred was the most prominent without ex hibiting any material- change. St. Paul was severely pounded by the traders for a time, tut its usual support was forthcoming, and no impression was made upon it. The im pression is prevalent that the bank statement to be issued to-morrow will be a most favor able one, as the exports of gold have not balanced the known move ment of funds ■to .this point irom _the interior, • and probably for this reason as much as any, the traders and bears were con tent to try the list only in spots, and in a , timid manner. The ; point is made that the banks are nor in. as good a condition as during previous rears at this lime, but there, is less demand for funds,- however^ and there 1 is a disposition to hold 'off ; in making time', ■ loans; there is no lack of money offering on , call, and it is a fact that, while some 315.000,.-. 000 in told has gone out, the product of the mines in the past year has .be.en about $20. --000,000, and the issue of certificate!! against the silver produced- is making money easy, and will create incieabiug ease in monetary centers as time goes 011. The transac tions of the day ■ foot up only 94,095 listed, and ' 4.391 of unlisted. Burlington contributing 21,710 and S .. Paul only 19.270. Railroad ponds were dull as usual, the sales of all issues reaching only $560,000, with the usual lack of feature in the trading and the usual insignificant move ments in the list. Toledo, it. Louis 6: Kansas City lsts rote 21/2 to 84i&. and Chicago <fe Erie lsts I%'g to J-'lVti, out Chicago & East Illinois consols lost 1. State bonds have been dull and steady.

Government bonds dull and generally steady. The Post says: The dull ness of the bond market and the low prices at which a good, class of railroad bonds are selling is construed by some people into an argument that Europe is '•still selling us securities for gold." and in this case it is as sumed that the gold may be exported by the money from the sale of securities on the market, without the sale of the bills of ex change. This argument, however, will not bear analysis. In the first place' the total sales of railroad and corporate bonds in this market have averaged less than $1,000, --000 per week for some time past, and as it is presumable that the larger part of this buying and selling is for home account, it would leave a very small business for foreign account, and even this small business could not all be of selling to get sold. But aside from this the exchange market has nt nil times governed the imports of gold, and whenever gold has been shipped here at rates of exchange below the normal gold exporting point, there has always been an explanation for it either in the premium in London for gold or in some*oiher way. The fact that the rates 01 exchange keep up to so near the gold exporting point shows that there has been a demand for exchange, and as it is well known that there has been an unusual scarcity of commercial bills, the great difficulty in getting them discounted, there was a reasonable explanation in this for the exports of gold to make exchange.

The map shows the exact location of the future New York of the Pacific-coast. It also definitely fixes the spot in which more money will be made in real estate in the next five years than has been made in any other Pacific coast city in any five years of its history. We are offering- the best possible opportunity to get a footing- in Fairhaven. We are put ting it on a basis that will enable any one to quadruple his money in a very few years. Our $100, $200 and $300 Fairhaven lots cannot b3 equaled as an easy and quick money making proposition in the wide world. For maps, pamphlets, etc., call on or address WASHINGTON IMPROVEMENT CO., "E.
