Chicago, Jan. B.—At the board of trade
election to-day Mr. E. Nason Blake, of
Blake, Shaw & Co.. was elected president
ana ,Mr. George T. Smith, late of Smith &
Gaylord. was c- ■ed vice president. Yes
terday, aa noted these dispatches, little
else bat tha elastic was thought of, but
to-day the electioneering was left to a few
while the remainder quietly deposited
their votes aud hnstened into the pits to
sell bey corn or oanvass the posi
tion of Armour in regard to provisions.
Tho whsat market opened very weak
under advices from Liverpool of a large
failure and reports from New YorK that
there would ba another large lot of wheat
posted as out of condition. Opening at
about $1.01% for May the market receded
to $1.01%, cold to $1.00% then to $1.00%,
advanced to ;?Lol%, went off, and after
fluctuating closed at $1.01% bid. Tbere
was only one sale reported at $1.01%. The
market was strengthened by the heavy
purohases of Jno. Lester, Charley Mair,
"Deacon" Hobbs and Roach, who took
nearly a million bushels each, Lester
bought during the day 1,500,000 bushels.
These parties have been the heaviest tellers
for the past week or teu days, and were
simply covering shorts, L iter the market
wat firmed by the report that the export
ers were taking the posted unconditioned
wheat in New York at $1,083^, being only
2c off. Jasfc why tho posting of wheat as
damaged should be a means of
depressing the market, and the fact
that it was "being bought in the place of
good wheat at a merely nominal reduction
should bo quoted as a bull feature, your
correspondent fail 9 to comprehend, yet
such was the case. On the call and on
the curb ttnra seemed to be a good deal of
strength underneath itie, market, but it was
purely local, and hence hot to be depended
upon far permanency, hammering
by the bears and the change of front by
their whilom companions before named
were about the only features in
the wheat pit. Crittenden &
Harvey ''are inclined to think that we shall
get a good rally in prices before seeing a
lower range of values." A large number
of telegrams from St. Louis were received
during the day, and nearly all of them
were bnllish on wheat and bearish on corn.
The foreign advices were all unfavorable
to-day, and the stock in store is 12,044,958
bushels against 11,800,415 bushels one
week ago. It goes without saying that
the parties who last night prophesied May
wheat $1 to-day were much disappointed
when $1.01% was bid on the curb to-night.
There wax considerable demand from
shippers to-day for corn of the lower
grades. The receipts were 324 cars, and
stocks were posted 3,161,211 bushels,
against 2,580,984 a week ago. The stock
of No. 2in store is now 2,452,683. The
speculative market opened weaker and
prices declined J_£@%o, rallied %@3__o,
but finally closed about lV£o lower for
seller January, %q lower for February,
and }4.g lower for May than on yesterday.
The slump iv January affected the
other options, and was occasioned
by the "let aloae" policy of th^ holders
of the January coru. On the call, however,
Schwartz & Dupeo vjere the purchasers of
all the January corn which wps offered,
and prices firmed up to s§3^o bid. It was
said't!' o a the curb ' at
this price. Some fictitious strength was
to corn by the rumor that Armour
was t iking a hand in tha May option. ?ir.
P. D. Armour said to the writer to-night:
1 .ye not had any interest in a bushel
of grain for over a year. Wo are simply
driving the yellcvv wagons. There is little
or no trade, and we sometimes are
sorry that we touched a hog
this season; there is vo money in them now.
We. however, irj keoping all our con
trr.cLs" and Phil further says he had rath
er be nothing but a driver of one of the
yellow wagons than to go baok on his con
tracts. Cudaby & Stevens bought consid
erable corn on the call.
There were about 25,000 hogs at tbe
yards to-day, and prices went down 5@
10c. On 'change provisions opened weak
sympathized largely all through with
grain. Still they possessed some
little independence of action, which
Wis caused by fie purchases
of brokers who wero supposed to be acting
for outside parties. Armour's men were
quite openly on the buying side, which
addtd strength with some parties, but the
"older ones" were desirous of betting that
brokers who were sailing largely would
fill their orders from Armour's warehouses.
The provision question depends almost
exclusively upon the stocks which the far
mer and commission men have no!; driven
to market. The stocks here are not rela
tively greater than usual at th s saason of
tbe year.
Tbe election which concluded to-day had
mai_y amusing features connected with its
progress. Mr. Wright's friends deemed
his election quite certain until this morn
ing, when some ticktta were circulated
with "yellow wagon candidate, for presi
dent, E. N. Blake," printed in black letters
on yellow paper. The wagons used by
Armour & Co., are all painted yellow;
Phillip Armoar is often termed "the old
yellow wagon." The Dake bakery wagons
are also painted yellow. Mr. Blake is
one of its proprietors. The tioket
was thns capable of two significations, and
both were correct. It waß evident all the
Armoar orowd, its brokers and "tailers," !
were bound to beat Mr. Wright, and they
1
did it by giving Blake 785 votes to A. M.
Wright A.ZZ. A prominent man on the
street remarked: This is a vindication
and endorsement of the course taken by
:•!:. B.'aks and his supporters on the board
in their action regarding the McGecch-
Fowler lard case. it is also
significant proof to members of
the board of trade who are not willing to
be bound by their contracts, and who stand
ready to appeal to the courts at any time
when they get equeezad. Mr. Wright
tried to stand on high moral ground as an
opponent of corners, but "the boys" char
acterize him as a "kicker." His aolion in
tho July, 1882 wheat deal, and his sympa
thy wilh Fowler Bros., as against Mr.
V;cG»och are the things which
beat him. The Globs correspondent
called at the office of Phil
Armocr & Co., to congratulate them on
having elected their candidate. King
Phillip and his cabinet were in session.
On his left in the place formerly occupied
by Geo. Brine, sat Harry P. Darlington,
who formerly represented Washington
Botchers son 3 in Chicago. He has not
been long enough in his position to have
caught the dislike for newspaper men
which his vis a vis, Mr. Webster, brought
with him from Ne*v York, as that Jesuiti
cal, clammy hand-clasp of Cal.
Favorite, who fronts the chief,
bnt be ia rapidly acquiring the
ready smile and open frank expression of
Phil himself. AU were in good humor. I
said: "Mr. Armour, 1 congratulate yon on
having elected your president, and upon
your increasing popularity. One of the
oldest Democrats on the street just re
marked that if the Republicans would
nominate you for president he would vote
for you." "Thanks," replied the enthroned
poik king, reaching over and handing
your o.rreßpondent one of the
yellow wagon tickets, "I never
spoke to Mr. Blake in my
life, but we learned he was not a kicker
and didn't go back on his contracts."
Mr. Favorite made some sarcastic allus
ions about "right or wrong," but Mr.
Webster only smiled his satisfaction that
the candidate who was said to have the
support of the Anglo-American Packing
company had been defeated. Mr. Blake
was warmly supported by the flour orowd,
who ran him at the head of the titckei of
their own. Frank Clifton, of Fowler
Bros. & Co., is said to have
excused his supporting tbe defeated
candidate by sayiug he thought he was
running "James AVright," referring to
"James Wright & C 0.," the Fowlers' pet
brand of lard. The board of trade have
elected a good Bet of officials all through.
They are men of honor and responsibility,
in whose hands the interests of the specu
lators aa well as the trading community
will be conserved.
The hog market was generally quiet, yet
a few early sales were made at yesterday's
closing prices but the great bulk of the
business transacted up to noon, when this
report closed, showed a decline of about
10c on all grades exoept choice Pniladel
phias. The run was only fair, but tho de
mand mainly from packers and shippers,
speculators not taking hold very frsely.
Some salesmen declared there wao a drop
of 15 to 20c, but this is hardly borne ont
by the rt turns. The quality was much
better than any day last week. A large
number of the best farmers of Illinois and
lowa are marketing their own breeding
and raising. Receipts were liberal and a
fair demand for fat and fully finished
cattle at about last week's prioes and
equally as high as yesterday. The best
grades of butchers' stock seemed to be
holding its own and making as good
prices as last week. Canners and com
mon rather easier, but not quotably lower.
The supply of Blockers and feeders was
light, prices very high and a fair demand.

New Yobk, Jan. B.—Stocks were decid
edly fragile this morning. It Was report
ed early that Central & Hudson had re
duced local freight rates about 50 per
cone, and West Shore 5 per cent, bonds
were seeking buyers in con?.tqnence.
Northern Pacific inferred fell to 6i)4,while
Oregon Tronscontinentai and Oregon
Railway were not wanted, except by the
shorts. Union Paoifio was bolstered,
evidently for tho purpose of
marketing other stocks. There was
little life during the middle of the day, the
market looking quite tired at times. There
were whispers in the air that Chicago, Bur
lington <fe Qnincy and its .opponents were
having trouble. Inside of thirty days the
report wiil bo audible enough, for well in
formed parties seem to feel confident that
there will be a heap of mischief within that
time. Alton had a small boom. The stook
sold at 136, having closed laet evening at
13414. The earnings of the Illinois Centre 1
for the fourth week in December deoraased
$60,000. Many other lines will make even a
worse showing. It is generally conceded
by railroad men that earninss reached the
zenith some time since. Union Pacific was
offered *£}■£ below present .figures, seller
60; Wsat Shore made aoplioation to list
$5,000,000 bonds. A half million silk
failure did not effect matters mnch.
The Galf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad
company has mad 9 application to the
stock exchange f^r listing $334,000 first
mortgage bonds. Tha West Shore road
has aopded for listing the remainder of
its first mortgage bonds on fhe stock ex
change, amounting to $14,750,000.
The company states that it
has thus far expended $15,000,000
for equipment, etc., between Weehawken
and Buffilo. It is understood that the
Oregon <fc Transcontinental company has
practically completed an arrangement by
which the bulk of their holding on Oregon

DAMAGED WHEAL
A Second Lot of Over a Quarter of a Million

New Yobk, Jan. 8. —An excitement was cre
ated in the produce exchange to-day \vh»n it was
known that a second lot of 254,857 bushels of
wheat had been sorted. The official announce
ment of Monday moaning that 250,001) bushels
had been found to have deteriorated -while in

FEIGHTFUL SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT.
.Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Milwaukee, Jan. B.—At ten o'clock this
morning a frightful accident occurred at
the Conro building, in course of erection
on Broadway. Three men standing on a
scaffold in the story were precipitated to
the cellar a distant of forty or fifty feet,
one being almost instantly killed and the
others mortally woanded. Henry Hosey,
a fireman, and Charles Klop6rdick, a work
m.u, were standing on the scaffold when
John J. Dunn, the contractor, stepped on
it. A board broke and the three men went
crashing through to the basement. Dunn,
who was a well known builder and con
tractor, and was thirty-five years old, was
frightfully crushed. He waa pulled out
of the debris, but died in a few minutes.
He leaves a large family. Hosey was fa
tally injured, and may die at any mo
ment. He is forty years old and leaves a
family. Kloperdijk was crushed and
bruised, and cannot recover. He is forty
three and a man of family. No one is ap
parently to blame for the accident.

two moro bodies were found. The remains
of the sister superior, Mary Jerome, were
discovered at noon, and was identified by
the spectacles, with gold chain attached to
the cross and rosary. The remains re
ported yesterday as those of Sister
Angelina are now supposed to be those of
Sister Edwarina. Granting that eaoh lit
tle heap of charred bones and roasted flesh,
that so far has been taken from the ruins,
represents a separata body, and it is very
difficult to determine whether they do,
there nre still five persons missing. The
funerals of the victims to be buried have
been fixed for Thursday. All the priests
and fathers of the diocese of Alton are in
vited to attend. Father Abbeljn, of Mil
waukee, has arrived, and will look after
the interests of the society, and arrange
for the funeral and the future disposition
of the remaining sisters.
The latest report from Bolleville to
night is that no more bodies were found
'his afternoon and no more identifications
were made. The inquest has proceeded all
day and will be continued to-morrow. The
testimony has been of a somewhat con
flicting character, but shows pretty clearly
that the fire department was entirely inad
equate to cope with such a fire and sadly
deficient in the necessary appliances. Sis
ter Elentheria testified this afternoon that
ahe thought there were seventy-one persons
in the convent at the time of the fire,
thirty-seven of whom escaped,
thns leaving thirty.four as missing. This
cannot be verified, however, as all the
records were burned, but the sister will at
tempt to recall from memory the names of
these present, and by comparing the
names try and reach the actual number.
This testimony created considerable sen
sation, and every effort will be made tg
ascertain the facts in the case. The re
mains identified as Emma Stook are now
believed to be those of Miss Bailey, aad it
is doubttul whether Virginia Heintzelman
has been found. Search will be resumed
again to-morrow and will be prosecuted
vigorously.

The Fire Under Control After a $300,
-000 Loss.
[Special Tolecram IO mo uiobe. 1
Stillwateb, Jan. 9, 3 a. m. —There was
great excitement in 'hia city last night
when it wae reported that the Northwest
ern Manufacturing company's works were
ou fire.
The fire was discovered about 10:30 p.
m. in the glazing room at the
north end of the bcilding.The baildiLg is of
stone, four stories high, and is owned by
the state, bnt oooapied by the Northwest
ern Manufacturing company, who suc
ceeded the well known firm of Seymour,
Sabin & Co.
At 2:15 a. m. the fire was nnder oontrol
bnt uot until it haa consumed the cabinet
shop, the pattern shop, the glazing room,
planing mill, blaokauiith shop and engine
erecting shop.
The fire is the most disastrous that has
ever taken place iv Stillwater. The loss is
estimated at $300,000 but the worst fea
ture is that 300 citizens are thrown out of
employment in addition to 3GO convict
laborers.
The insurance is very light,not exceeding
$05,000. Ot thia $25,000 is on the build
ing, and the balance evenly divided on the
machinery and stock. All the machinery
and stock in the department named was
destroyed.
In the workshop was quite a large stock
of fixtures for the First National b*nk of
Ht. Paul, and these were valaed at $5,000.
They were about two-thirds finished. It is
estimated that the loss will fall tqnally on
the state and the Cur company.
Later information is to the effest that the loss
is one-half covered by insnrance.
During the lire tho beat of o.der was main
tained in the prison. Warden Re?d and Deputy
Hall removed 120 convicts from tho cc' Is near
est the fire. These were taken to another part
of the prison.
Tho blacksmith shop contained a number of
trip hammers and other valuable machinery.
Tho engiue shop contained a number of portable
engines in process of t-rection. Tho bolt shop
was also folly stocked. The engine room was
somewhat damage J, but not very seriously. Tin 1
shop containing ihe patterns and tiie car paint
Ehop and other buildings outsido the prison walls
were not damaged.
If iater reports are received they will be found
in a postscript oa the filth page.
In St. Raul.
About one o'clock this morning a telephone
message from Stillwater annonnoed that the
works of the Northwestorn Manufacturing com
pany were on fire and asking for aid. Chief
Black promptly responded, ad loading an en
gine at East Bt. Paul sped away
for the scene of the conflagration.
This company is the largest manufacturing
concern in the state, having Senacer D. M.
Sabin for the leading spirt and its stockhold
ers embracing many of the leading men of
the State, lt is engaged in the manufac
ture ot railroad cars, the Minnesota Chief
threshing machine and engines, cabinet werk,
weoden ware, etc. It has the contract for the
prison labor, but the convicts only supply a
fragment of the working force.

Wlojele!
The extreme cold weather of
the past week has aided us con
siderably in our 25th SEMI-AN
NUA.L RED FIGURE SALE. A
large number of people realizing
the fact that we aro selling WIN
TER OVERCOAT 3 at Munuftc
turer's Cost, have wisely taken
advantage of this great Slaughter
Sale, the result boing that our
stock of WINTER OVERCOATS
has been considerably reduced.
When one considers that from
January to December they can
buy from us full as cheap as they
can buy from any store in the
United States, and that during
this great Slaughter Sale we have
reduced our prices from twenty
five to forty per cent., the im
mense benefit derived from buy
ing an* Overcoat NOW, can be
easily understood.
Our great all-woot STORM
OVERCOAT for $10 is worth
looking after.
