[Special Telegram to the Globe. \
Chicago, July 19. — The expected tele
graphers' strike again exerted a depressing
influence this morning, but when it occur
red it was found that everybody had anti
cipated it and there was somewhat of a
recovery. Of course, no orders to speak of
were received after 11 o'clock, and trading
I :11. bat brokers were very good na
tured about the matter. Six companies
have offices on the board, the Western
Union, Mutual Union, Baltimore & Ohio,
Chicago and Milwaukee, board of trade,
£ni the Packers, a local line, employing
in all aLont 100 operators. The operators
en the board of trade took their places as
■jsaal at the hour of opening, find did not
show by iheir actions that there was a
strike imminent. The time «et for the in
auguration of the strike drew near, arrived
and passed, but there was no movement on
the part of the operators, and it was ru
mored that the business of the morning
session of the bo?.rd would be fin
ished in any event. The dealers made
their trades as usual, only seeming to yell
louder and faster, as though to transact
all the business possible before the opera
tors and the tickers stopped. Crowds sur
rounded the telegraph desks and kept the
boys busy receiving and sending oft" mes
sages. At about 11 o'clock all the opera
tors formed themselves into line and
marched solemnly out of the room. There
was a momentary hush on the part of the
members, some of whom looked annoyed,
some smiled, a*nd others set up a cheer,
which caused a pleased smile to broaden
the erstwhile .aciturn faces of the opera
io--.
As vet, appearances on 'change looked
very much the same as ever. The pits
were crowded, and the men bidding and
selling as excitedly as ever. After a
while the Western Uiiiou sent a number
of its non-striking employes over from
the main office, bnt the instruments of the
other companies were idle. A prominent
broker said, "We can get along without
many wires now, as the business we do is
largely local. It nag been to since the
generally unsettled feeling in trade circles.
When failures began a lew months ago out
side speculators began closing their deal?,
and now all the business we do is done
on our own account." Mr. Randolph,
secretary of the board, --vlien asked about
the effect of the strike on the board, said
laughingly: "My dearsii, I believe it would
be impossible to answer that question now,
I might aSer conjectures and the like, but
can't see into the future."
"Business seems to be very active on
'change now, but is it not a fact that the
strike will lessen its activity ?"
"Of course, to some extent," he added
after a thoughtfnl pause.
"But don't you think that the activity
on the board will grow less with the length
of the strike?— that is, it will be duller
next week if the strike continues than it is
this week, and — "
c; Not at all," interrupted Mr. Randolph.
"If the strike continues the board will find
new channels through which to get its in
formation.
Other members of he board did not
have much to say, though apparently no
great uneasiness is felt. Later, Mr. Ran
polph received a telegram from the Postal
Telegraph company, offering the Time,-,
served usG Ox it* cable to the members of
the board. Though the cables are not en
tirely completed, this will opeu up com
munication with New V ■'■'■ at least.
City Collector Onahna began tQ-d.iy pro
ceedings to enforroO.re ordinance requiring
commission mM.'and brokers to take out a

900 of th^~a who, have neglected to take
out liceS^es. and if they do not pay their
aicircy they willl be prose*
xhe receipts of rain to-day were
seventy-two cart wheat, 450 cars corn, and
14;* cars oat.-. The shipments were 136,
--000 busheis wheatj 208,000 bushels corn,
and 112,000 bushels eats. The charters
were 20,000 bushels wheat, 200,000 bushels
corn, and 46,000 bushels rye.
The wheat inarkot to-day was weaker
and prices lower all round. Early in the
day there was a very fair business tran
sacted, but after the telegraphers' strike
slackened up very materially and a quiet
er feeling prevailed. The speculative of
ferings were fair and there was no special
demand. The market opened about one
cent lower, further declined %@,%c and
then rallied %o but under free speculative
offerings prices again declined this time
%@lc per bushel, again recovered and
finally closed about >\±@lo lower than
closing figures on 'change yesterday.
August ends the day at 2}£ bid.
There was. ». good shipping demand for
corn and speculative trading also was very
good early in the day, but later, owing
to the strike, business was more restricted
and trading light. Prices lower, but at the
decline the market ruled tolerably strong.
The receipts were a little larger and the
speculative offerings at time, were large.
The market opened %@K C lower, de
clined an additional }.{ o and then fluctu
ate! during the balance of the session
within a range of about lc, and closed %
@3-4 c higher than on 'change yesterday.
The advance was just before the close,
and caused by shorts stepping in and buy
ing.
In the oat market early in the session a
light speculative business was done, but
after about noon there was an almost en
tire cessation of trading. The feeling
was weak, and all deliveries showed a de
cline as compared with yesterday's clos
ing. No. 2 cash oats were %@,%c lower.
Sample lots sold very fairly, considering
the dullness of the regular market. About
former prices were realized. The specula
tive market ruled with exceptional dull
ness, and daring the latter part of the ses
sion trade was almost at a standstill.
July ranged %<<i,lc lower and the deferred
futures declined J^@^o. '
Rye was firm; prices were not materally
changed: offerings were small and demand
both shipping and speculative was very
fair. There was some inquiry for all de
liveries.
Barley was dull and no disposi
tion was manifested to trade on deliveries
of the new crop. Very little old barley is
coming in and none in particulur wanted.
The market was neglected all round and
about nominal.
A fair business was reported on the
market for hog products early in the dsty,
but during the latter part of the session
business was checked to some extent by
the difficulty in obtaining telegraphic in
formation. The market opened weak and
prices ruled lower on all the principal
descriptions, and the market ruled unset
tled throughout the greater portion of the
day. Trading mainly on speculative ac- J
count. Shipping inquiry not very large,
and orders mainly for carload lots. For
eign advices indicate a stronger feeling in
bacon and quotations were advanced Is Gd
g 2s. but other articles were unchanged.
Eastern markets were less favorable to
holders . The receipts of product were
moderate and the shipments quite large,
especially of meats and lard.
Trading in mess pork was quite active
early in the day, but diminished during
the latter part of the session. Offerings
were free and inquiry moderately active.
The market opened rather weak and 15 (q,
20c lower, which was followed by
a furthdr decline of 20@350.
During the latter part of the session
the f eeeling was a little more steady and
the market closed at the medium figure of
the day. Shipping inquiry moderate.
Cash in fair demand and quotable at
(14@ 14.25. September closed 25c under
yesterday.
There was a fair inquiry for lard and the
offerings were moderately large. The
market opened rather weak and prices
ruled li>(g, 2oc lower per 100 pounds, but
rained again 10 « 13c and ruled with con
siderable steadiness. Trading was mainly
during the early part of the session . Cash
quiet and quotable at $8.80@8.!>0. Some
0,000 tierces of lard were shipped out yes
terday.
The opening was all on one side in hog
product. Cudahy <fc Steever had unlimited
amounts of pork for sale until the price
had been hammered down to $14.0. r >, when
Singer showed pluck enough to stop the
landslide and turn prices up to $14.30.
Uther lines followed the wake of pork, but
the trade has been embarrasged, in an
unusual degree, by the strike. Markets
looked toward depression, until the event
had actually transpired, then it was dis
covered that all the effect had been dis
counted, and prices remained unchanged
and trade assumed a holiday appearance.
There were 11,000 hogs received to-day and
sold at yesterday's prices.
NEW YORK.
[Special Telegram to the Globel
New Yoek, July 19. — The sensation dur
ing the first half hour of business was a
collapse in Canadian Pacific, followed later
by a drop of four per cent, in Oregon
Transcontinental. The Northern Pacifies,
to which we referred yesterday, were not
sustained to-day, and gave way with the
rest. Early telegrams show the feeling
was feverish, and there were absolutely no
buyers for stocks. The market has been
active and interesting all day. It wae
characterized during the morning by froe
selling from all directions. Many holders
of long stock sold in anticipation of the
telegraphic strike, and the room traders
assisted the downward movent by large
short sales. Stocks went down rapidly,
and many of them touched the lowest point
of the year. The strike occurred
at 12 o'clock, Washington time, and from
that moment the prices of stocks improved.
The room traders turned and began buy
ing as freely as they had previously sold,
and the whole list advanced. W T e have had
to-day, since the operators' strike, the
strongest bull advices which we have had
this month. We hear that there has been
good buying by strong people all this
week, that the Yanderbilts have been large
borrowers of time niq^j. ffOßa trust cony

lArge importations of gold (at least $25,
--< HJO.OOO) before Jan. 1 next. We are also
advised that the rate-cutting difficulty will
be satisfactorily adjusted. Altogether we
are enootiJraged to expect prices to im
prove during the rest of this month.

safes given without advertisement about
ten days ago.

SPORTING.
The Chicago Hare.?.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. l
Chicago, July J.D. — In the three minute
class to-day there were four starters, Ma
jolica, Phalap, Felix and Index. The word
was given with Index at the pole, Majolica
next, then Felix, with Phalas on the out
side. At the first turn Majolica showed
well in front, followed by Felix and Index,
with Phallas in lead of the two latter, on
the extreme outside of the track. The
quarter was reached with Majolica four
lengths in advance of Phallas, the two
others far in the rear. On went the leader
through the back stretch, leading Phallas
six lengths at the half. When entering
the third quarter Phallas lessened by two
lengths the lead of the gelding. Down
through the home stretch they came, the
latter passing under the wire four lengths
in advance of Phallas and nearly a furlong
ahead of Index and Felix. Time, 2:15.
When called up for the second heat, the
distance was waived, thus allowing Index
to trot oat the race for fourth
money. When they came up for,
the word go it was given, and then
by a blunder of the starting judge the bell
was tapped, at which all the drivers but
Murphy pulled up their horses and re
turned to the stand. Majolica was driven
on and around the track, and awarded the
second heat. Time, 3:34. Murphy was
the only driver in the race that was posted
on the rule that allows of no return after
the word go is given.
In the third heat the word was given
with Phallas a length in the rear. Ma
jolica took the lead around the turn, and
while Majolica's lead was being increased,
Phallas passed Felix and; Index, bst was
eight. lengths from the leader at the quar
ter. Down the back stretch Phallas slowly
gained on the gelding, who passed the
half six lengths in advance. After passing
into the third quarter Phallas went after
the loader like a squirrel on a rail, closing
up the gap rapidly, eliciting the cheexs of
the multitude of spectators, which was
greatly increased as he reached the wheel
of Majolica on the home stretch and
fifty yard? further on collared and passed
him, and reached the wire five lengths in
advance of the gelding, with the others
close up to the latter. Time first quarter
3314, half l:0G, three quarters 1:37^, mile
2:16 %.
For the fourth heat an even start was
made, with Phallas at the pole. Majolica
again took the lead and opened a gap of
two lengths before reaching the quarter,
at which point Phallas had placed his nose
to the wheels of the leader and in this po
sition they passed through the second
quarter, the gelding showing a length in
advance at the half. On nearing the third
quarter Phallas went up alongside of Ma
jolica and at even head they rounded into
the home stretch where again the stallion
trotted the gelding off his feet, from
which he did not recover until Phallas had
passed the distance pole and on to the
wires. Time, 12:20.
They took the word with an even start
for the fifth heat, Majolica again
showing in front around the turn and two
length? ahead of Phallas at the quarter.
Passing down the back stretch the gelding
gained slightly, passing the half three
lengths in advance. Through the third
quarter Phallas closed up and rounded into
the home stretch on even terms with Ma
jolica. On they came in like position un
til nearly to the distance, where the
heart and legs of Majolica gave out, mak
ing a wild break, thus giving the heat and
the race to the stallion. Time, 2:21%.
The summaries will give the position of
the two other horses in the race .
The second race was between the 2:20
pacers, which was won in three heats by
Richball, who made wonderful time, as
follows: 2:13;^, 2:16%, 2:13, beating West
mont. Lone Jack and Bessie M. This fast
and game pacer was sold last night to
Texas parties for $10,000,
Between the heats St.
Julien was brought out and
jogged around tht course for the $1,000
forfeit by Clingstone, after which the
pacer Johnson was started to beat the
time of Litttle Browu Jug, 2:11%. He
took the word the first score, and passed
around the track apparently without great
effort, passing under the wire without a
skip or break in 2:11%, just equaling the
best record. He was not again started,
his driver not choosing to drive him another
heat, for reasons only known to himself.
To-morrow's race will be the 2:35 class,
with fiye starters, the five-year-old class,
with three starters, comprising Jay Eye,

old class, with Henda Rose, f'ague and

vigorously and that attorneys in southern
Dakota who had thoroughly investigated
the subject were unanimous in the opinion
that the action would be sustained by the
court. He further stated that the decision
of the question, whichever way it might
be, would have no influence at all upon
the movement for statehood in the south
ern part of the territory, and that if they
failed in securing admission they should
proceed to organize a state government
anyhow.
The Central Montana Railroad.
The idea seems to have gained circula
that the branch railroad to be built from
Billings is the beginning of the Benton
line. A road is to be built from Billings
to the Bull mountain fields, but that has
no reference to the Benton branch. Near
ly six months ago the building of this
road to the coal fields was announced from
the New York office of he Northern Paci
fic. Since that time conflicting interests,
each having influence with the railroad
company, have advocated stations other
than Billings, as the point of departure,
but the friends of. billing? seem to have
won, Bat this coal road has, we are
confident no connection with the Benton
branch, the initial point for which we are
equally persuaded is yet undetermined.
Livingston's prospects for yet being at one
end of a railroad from the Northern Pa
cific to Benton are quite as good now as
they ever have been, and we are still
strong in the opinion that those who are
anxious to see this Benton line start from
here will have the wish granted,Livings

A sheep man from Montana, who is now

The Dakota board of grain inspector?,
the creature of the last Dakota legislature,
is now engaged in sending out its blanks
for reports of the last years" crop and

While there is much to be said both
ways, it remains a fact that the chances
are nearly equal. The route from Billings
is longer, but the one from Livingston
being most of the distance among the
mountains and foothills is naturally much
more rough.
The last thing that two sections of
country would be expected to wrangle
over would be the possession of a few
lunatics. It would naturally seem as if
there were enough of that class in both
sections without an unusual boom to fill
up the asylums.
It is said that a meeting of representa

it is probable that the representation will
be large.
The territorial penitentiary at Deer
Lodge. Montana, recently delivered six
prisoners at once. The prison was origin
ally constructed for the accommodation of
twenty-six prisoners, but owing to the
alleged remnants of lawlessness in that

The six who escaped were in an outhouse,
and were probably mad because they were
not in the crowd with the rest. There is
no trace of the fugitives.
Four gentlemen from lowa will take a

der some rattlesnakes.
It will be interesting to watch the work
ings of the process by which our noble
governor proposes to boom an insane
asylum. Possibly he will issue a procla
mation to the lunatics of Dakota advising
them to patronize the Jamestown institu
tion in preference to the Yankton institu
tion. At any rate the royal word has been

Close on the heels of the elopement of a
married woman with [another man from
Bismarck, comes a report of a similar case
at Grand Forks. A Mrs. Buck, wife of a
shoemaker, with four children, skipped
out with a worthless fellow named Charles
Goss. The woman is said to be good look
ing and not more than twenty -eight or
thirty years old. Mr. Buck feels very bad
ly, and unbosomed his grief very thor
oughly to a reporter who called on him.
It is evidently a very sad case.
The Grand Forks Herald says: "It Is
said that while at Bismarck last week the
capital commission arranged for the re
moval of the territorial headquarters from
Yankton as soon as quarters are provided
at the former city." If that is the case it
has not been announced officially. The
act creating the commission gives them no
power to remove the headquarters of the
territorial government, that being in the
hands of the governor; and it is only
barely possible that Governor Ordway
would subject himself to the annoyance
and inconvenience of removal until the
capitol building is ready for occupancy.
It is curious how sectional feeling seems
to control legal opinions. It would be
hard to find a good attorney in north
Dakota who would fexpress the following
opinion, while south Dakota lawyers are
said to really believe it. The extract is
from the Jamestown Alert:
"Hon. K. F. Pettigrew, in answer to a
query on the subject stated to the Alert
Saturday night that the quo warranto
proceedings against the capital commis
sion would be prosecuted vigorously and
that attorneys in southern Dakota who
had thoroughly investigated the subject
were unanimous in the opinion that the
action would be sustained by the court.
He further stated that the decision of the
question, whichever Jway it might be,
would have no influence at all upon the
movement for statehood in th 6 southern
part of the territory and that if they failed
in securing admission they should proceed
to organize a state government anyhow."

telegram bronght the sad intelligence of
le sudden death of Col. J. B. Culver,
mayor of Duluth and president of the
chamber of commerce, which occurred in
Buffalo at 2 o'clock p. m. yesterday. Col.
Culver's health had been failing visibly
for the last six months, the disease being
of a nervous order and ailment of the
heart. On the 2nd of July, accompanied
by his wife, he started on a trip to New
York city and other cities of the east, in
the hope that the change of climate, and
especially the rest from business and
official cares, would result in lasting benefit
to his health. Last Saturday he wrote, a
letter from New York city to his family in
Duluth, stating that, though he had been
very sick, he was well enough to start for
home, and that he would take passage on
the propeller China at Buffalo last night.
This letter was received here last evening,
but not until After the telegram had an
nounced his death to his grief-stricken
children and a sympathetic community.
The dispatch was from Mrs. Culver and
was very brief, giving no particulars.
The supposition that death was caused by
heart disease 13 probably correct. The sad
news, of course, spread rapidly through
the city, calling forth expressions of
heartfelt sorrow from all. Col. Culver
was one of the oldest residents of the city,
and of the first settler's in fact, at the head
of Lake Superior, and no citizen w?.^ more
widely known or- more generally
respected :than he, — as a social gen- j
tleman, an upright business man I
and an official who had always at heart the
best interests of the city which had be^n
his home for so many years, and for the
prosperity of which he had Labored unceas
ingly and unselfishly. By his death Duluth
has indeed lost one of her most prornineDt,
influential and highly respected citizens —
one who has been honored by official posi
tion because he has been worthy in every
way. While his death casts a shadow of
deepest grief over one household, it moves
a whol? community to real sorrow, which
is equaled only by the hearty sympathy
for the widow and children.
Col. Joshua B. Cniver was a native of the
state of Delaware, born in 18:)0. While yst
a young man he came west and located at
Prarie dv Chien. Wis., where he was mar
ried to Miss Sarah V. Woodman, daughter
of David Woodman, now of Pawpaw,
Michigan. From Prairie dv Chiou he re
moved to St. Paul, and frcin there to Su
perior City, in the bright da^ s of that
town. In 1856 he settled upon the rocky
north shore of Lake Superior at Duluth,
and established himself as an Indian
trader when there were bat eevernl white
families where is now the l>u*y city
whose growth he has watched with
great interest and assisted wiiii con
tinuous effort for twenty seven years.
When the war of the rebellion b; \>ke out,
Mr. Culver enlisted and went to the front,
serving his country faithfully antil peace
was declared. He was colonel of *\it
Thirteenth regiment of Michigan vo ju
teers, under General Rosecr.ius. Aff»r be
war, he associated himself "with Col. '. H.
Graves in the insurance business a. Du
luth, and afterwards, with u< •> '.Stone
established the First Nations hank. His
last business change was to urchHse an
interest in the dock and bu-n. s uf Win.
R. Stone, and for several ye rs pttst he
has owned that property &] >nr, nud has
been doing an extensive dock ige md gen
eral commission business. Wh ■■ Duluth
became a oity, some ten jre&rs igo. Col.
Culver was elected first ma or; and last
spring he was elected mayor v •no pres
ent village of Duluth.
