CORNER IN WHEAT. The Market at the Morey of a Few Speculators. Probability that the Conspiracy Will Be Successful. Tho first “ corner "of tho year Is now In ope ration, and promises to have a successful ending tor thoso who are managing it. Tho history of tho movement, which affects what is technically known in tho wheat trade as “seller July," is'' briefly os follows: Several weeks ago tho parties who organized and havo sinco engineered the ** corner " wont Into tho and bought up by themselves and through brokers os many op tions as possible in No. 2 spring wheat (tho speculative grain), seller to deliver any time during July. They also bought up all tbo cur rent receipts of wheat by paying half a cent per bushel above tbo market price for tbo option, and having thus aoourod control of the proper ty, took it out of tho power of tho sellers to fill their contracts except by buying from tbo very parties to whom they woro thomsolvos liable. Tho “comorors" woro successful in biding tholr designs by sometimes selling small ■quantities of grain in order to provout prices :going up. In this way options woro kept down to a relatively moderate prico until within a fow ■days. Tbon it become known that tho market was largely oversold, with but littlo wheat in storo, and not much coming In doily. Tho "short" interest took alarm, and prices rose, under tho increased competition of buyers, and from tbo fact that but littlo grain was offered for solo. Last evening, at tho oloso of business, wheat for delivery to-day sold at $1.82, while tho samo article for delivery to-morrow sold at $1.14, being a difference of 18 cents per bushel in tbo selling value of groin for two consooutlvo days. It was l .thought probable that tho difference would boi 'Still further widened to-day, as a considerable 1 ■ quantity .of those July options, variously osti-t •mated at from 260,000 to 000,000 bushels, yet ro-1 imains uncovered. Our reporters on ’Change were unable to got reliable information os to tho parly engineering 1 tho “ corner,’’ bub it was generally rumored that Mr. J. B. Lyon was at tho head or it, and taking revenge for tho losses bo incurred iu recent difficulties with certain members of tho Board. There are reasons for behoving, however, that though Mr. Lyon may have taken advontago of ■ his knowledge of tho situation, ho is not tho engineer of tho movement. There la very little doubt that the ‘'corner” . has boon conducted with Canadian capital in tho : Interest of parties in Montreal, whoso principal ; agents in this city are the firm of William Young < & Go. Tho latter were probably aided by Mr. T. ’Chisholm. Tho “ comer ” promises to bo one of the most ■successful that has yet boon run on the Chicago .Board of Trado, and principally for tho reason that it has boon necessary to handle but small (quantities of grain. Tho ordinary history of a " corner ” is a rapid rise in price, bringing for ward much larger quantities of grain from tbo country, which oitbor swamps tbo parties run ning tho "comer” before the contracts havo matured, or makes tho gamo a losing ono by leaving them with immense quantities of grain on baud, to bo disposed of at much loss prices than they had to pay for it, la order to keep up tho market to a point •where they can squeeze tho *• shorts.” Tho operation of tho now Railroad law has, to eomo (extent, prevented this swamping in ibis in stance, as country holders of grain woro so much afraid that tho law would operate against them when it oamo into forco on tho Ist' of July that 'they rushed forward previous to that dato nearly tall tho grain they could command. Another season for tho small receipts has boon tho fact Ahat the Milwaukee market has ranged from 2 to 5 cents per bushel above Chicago during tbo past month, which has drawn to tho City of Bricks all the grain in that largo district of country which lies around points for tho trado of which Chicago usually compotes with Milwaukee. Hence, our receipts have been principally drawn from the tract of country ly ing south of a line running duo west of Chica go, and as that country is not a wheat-producing .region, in comparison with that north of tho lino, It is easy to understand how Milwaukee has received over 100,000 busholsporday, while bare ly 40,000 have come to Chicago. Some wise hoods on ’Change believe that tho same parties who cornered the July options have J&id wires for a comer on August options next month, in a manner varying considerably from the policy which marked their conduct of tho present «?no, It is thought probable that <4hey wi|l attempt to rush up tho price flo high that tho August " shorts ” will grow scared at tho idea of a repetition of tho July dual, nud willilll iu at nn enormous less during tho first ton days of the month, and enable the " coruorors ” to sell " short ” at tho same time to an extent that will permit them to make a largo amount of money on tho other side, by " bearing ” tho market . on tho immense receipts that are expected dor .. log tho last half of August. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN RUSSIA. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Sin: lu Saturday's Tribune is an article as r to Russia’s terms with Khiva, it is stated that tho punishment of death is to bo abolished, as it • ’ms been in Russia, Capital punishment is not ; abolished in Russia. This decree was enacted by Catherine 11., at tho suggestion of tho cole . brated Voltaire, and tho execution of folous has i ceased, bo far as the public example is involved. JBut.-if you examine Sir Charles Cotterel's work -on Siberia, page 324, you will find that capital punishment is in full forco at this hour in .Russia. Instead of certain crimes having tho death penalty affixed, all felons are transported to Si beria. Tho Governor of that region has plenary Sower of taking tho life of such as he earns proper. Tho guilty one is punished by tho knout until tho proper number of blows are Eivon; then, with a burning thirst superinduced y pain, ho cries for water. This is supplied, and. in a short time, death is sure. Could there he devised a bettor method for a despot or his Ministers ridding themselves of political reform ers or foes ? One felon broke his chains while Sir Charles Gottorcl was in Siberia, aud murdered seven ex iles before breakfast. A writer signing himself “ H. T. Artist," in this morning’s Tribune, has a singular article against tho penalty of doath. Ho says “It is claimed that this is an antidote to murder. 1 ' I never hoard of such a ridiculous claim. What would bo thought if tho Penitentiary was bold up as an antidote to robbery, incendiarism, and other crimes ? Oh, no! aucb ia the desperate malignity and .reckless daring of men that uo punishment will atop them. But, au the Creator and all wins . governments have found that death is infinitely the greatest punishment they can iuilict, this is adopted. And, until Mr. Artist, or some other •ago, shall show himself wiser than God, wo propose to abide by this decision.

WEST VIRGINIA. Oiuhlihtoh, W. Va., July 22,1873. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: I am surprised that tho leading papers of tho country, while giving frequent descriptions of other lands far away, and now and then glimpses of our own country, never write a word about the American Switzerland,—West Virginia. Leaving tho Ohio otFoint Pleasant, aud steam ng up tho KanaWha to whoro it springs from tho Gauley ond Now Rivers, you can nowhoro find iconory so grand and beautiful: Rich valley-bot toms; high, towering mountains, covered with the green of royal forests; wild glens, sending down to tho river their rippling smiles; islets, aweet haunts of tho nymphs of tho wave at night; and quiet orannies hero and there, where the lovar of Nature would love to dwell. The Now River scenery is wildly grand,*—sublime. “ Hawk’s Noel" is bat ouo of tbo many wonders, llis roar of the rapids can sllonco tho loudbst thundor. Rooks of tbo moat wondrous also, toasod oonfiißodly along tbo river long ago, In the agony of some dreadful volcanic outburst, maddens tbo rushing flood 5 and, In the torriblo mooting, you oan boo tbo spray, In thick froth, hiding tho rooky cliffs on the opposite side, and Bonding its mist of anger against the azure auovo. Charleston, whore 1 wrlto, would bo a beauti ful oily if Us owners had any idea of progress. They invito capital, and, when tho representa tives of wealth and progress oorao hero, they ask for tholr lands tho most extravagant prices ; and tho capitalists leave to seek elsewhere a moro promising field. And so It Is that tho inexhaustible wealth of tho Elk and Kanawha Rivers is as closely and securely hidden from human sight and human enterprise as whon tho rod man disturbed tho primeval sllonco by tbo shadowy glanco of his light canoe. F. SHOOTING AFFRAY. Aa Old Feud Culminates in a Resort to the Pistol. One Man Fatally and Another Seri ously Wounded, At G o’clock last evening an encounter took place at No. COl State street, in which John Workmlstor shot and fatally wounded his antag onist, Miko Roomls. Some two weeks ago thoy had a fist fight, since which they havo boon deadly enemies, and murderous throats havo boon mado by both men. Tho difficulty origi nated in a trivial manner. Roth era batchers* and porhapa aro not averse to shedding blood. 'Wcrkmtstor is in tho employ of J. Armstrong, a butcher and produce dealer, at tho ploco where THE SHOOTING WAS DONE. Beomls Is employed at No. 497, tho butcher shop of Jacob Wells. Borne two weeks ago a boy delivered a basket of provisions for Work mister, at No. 470 Wabash avenue. Tho boy, it seems, was at tho timo in tho son-ice of Beomis. Tho lady to whom they wore delivered the next day complained to Workmistor that a valuable hat was stolon from her house by tho boy. Workmistor saw tho boy, who positively assorted that ho had ■ not taken it. Tho next day, which was last Sat urday week, Boomia was soon with tho hat on his Cboad. Workmistor saw him, and accused hhn •of being a PARTY TO TUB THEFT, land requested him to give It up that it might bo ‘returned to its hatless owner. Beomls would Inot gWo It up. and on angry dispute followed, in which tbo characters, personal appear ance, and habits of the disputants wore bandied roughly and abusively. This dis i puto occurred in Armstrong’s store, .finally they retired into tho alley in tbo roar, > where they made an attempt to sottlo tho matter * with their fists. Of course tho hat was com rplotely ruined in tho moloo. Workmistor, , although much smaller than Beomis, came out lof .tho battle unscathed and tbo victor. Beomis, enraged by tho severe punishment bo had ro ’coivod, promised to see his antagonist again, •and to administer him a sound thrashing. Work xniator promised that if Boemis over laid bands upon him bo WOULD SHOOT HIM. How well ho kept Ids promise the sequel shows. Tho parties have mot frequently since, and Lave exchanged murderous threats. It would appear that Workmistor had armed him self for any affray that might occur. A few days ago Armstrong. Workmistor'a employer and etop-brother, discharged from his service a follow named Joe Magnus, whoso character is that of a loafer and rough. Magnus and Boomia woro intimate friends, and the former, angered by hla being discharged, resolved to bring about an encounter between Boemis, Armstroug, and Workmistor. Yesterday evening ho got Beomis pretty full of boor, and thou persuaded him to settle tho difficulty with Workmistor, promising to hack him up. Beomis took up with tho idea at ouco, and, to in dicate what ho would do, squared himself for a fight many times on tho way to Armstrong’s shop. When they arrived in front of tbo place, Workmistor stood on tho sidewalk. Beezms ap proached him. and called him a d—d coward. Workmistor uid not pay much attention to him, but started tp ENTER THE STORE. Beomls struck him with his flat on tho side of tho head. Workmlator thou ran into tho store and got his revolver, and said, that it Boomia did not leave ho would shoot him. Boomia told him to shoot, and bo d— d. Magnus urgod Boomia to follow Workmlator in and whip him. Bcomis acted upon tho suggestion, and was fol lowed by Magnus. At tho outrauco they picked up a quantity of vegetables, and hurled them at Workmistor, who stood in tho rear end of tho store. When they approachod,ho drew a revolver and told them ho would 101 l them if thoy did not loavo him alono. Tho revolver intimidated them bo that thoy withdrew to tho outrauco again. There they laid hands on some measures and buckets, which they buried at Workmistor, who narrowly escaped being struck. Uuablo longer to endure their attacks. Workmistor ad vaucod upon his assailants, with his revolver in. baud, and they retreated to tho sidewalk. A largo crowd had gathered Intho vicinity by this time, and an effort ‘ was made to persuade Boomia to loavo, but ho would not. lie said ho had oomo to clean out tho wholo con cern (referring to Armstrong’s store). Aftor ho got outside ho continued to throw anything ho could got hold off. Workmistor finally BAIBED Ills REVOLVER and fired, tho hall missing Boemis, and striking Workmistor’s brother, a saloon-keeper, in tho calf of tho log, inflicting a painful flesh wound. Boomia then started to run away, but returned. Bo then picked up an empty boor keg, and throw it at Workmistor. Ho started to run away, when his antagonist fired a second shot, tho ball striking Boemis under tho loft shoulder blade. lie fell on the sidewalk immediately, and for a moment was motionless. In tho excitement which en sued both Workmistor and Maguua escaped. Tho former, as was afterwards learned, secreted himself for a while in a room up-stairs, and tho latter made for the lake-shore. Officers O’Neil, MoGary, Lennon, aud duett wore on tho ground soon aftor tho shooting waa done, and immediately wont in pursuit of tho fugitives. Werkmistor ran to Twelfth street, pursued by MoGary and Lennon. Thoy lost track of him, and on Twelfth, between State and Third avenue, bo mot Ofllcers Ebinger and O'Brien, to wnom ho related tho circumstance, and gave himself up. Magnus was pursued to tho lake shore by officers O’Neil and duett. Ho got a boat and wont out on tho lake, and was followed by Ciuott. Ho then returned to shore, where he was caught by O’Neil. Bauds’ wound was pronounced fatal by, J)ra. Cony and Stratford. He was finally removed to the County Hospital. At a late hour last night TUB BALL HAD NOT been found, and Boemis was thought to bo dy ing. Both are young and single men, about 24 Tears of ago. Workmlster boars an excellent character, aud Is much respected. Boemis is not so favorably known. Ho is looked upon as a vicious, reckless fellow. Magnus, his com panion, is a rough of tho lowest typo. Outrage aud Lynch Law. Act# ComtriUncn, Ohio (July 28), Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial, A man oalUng himself Jeff.

Tho Committee on the question of defining the southern boundary of the proposed new State think it best at present not to designate any special boundary, but to leave that subject to tbe development of public opinion in the counties of Northern Mississippi, that those in terested may decide that question for them selves, and tuns, by tho voting mauifostod, give the best indication as to whoro tho southern boundary should naturally fall.

SEVERE STORM, Newark* IV* ['looilo(l**Dnniai;o Over £200)000 Narrow Escapes from Drowning New Yomt, July 80.—It Ifl estimated that the damage done by tlio rain storm yesterday at Newark amounted to over $200,000. Nearly all the basements in the city wore flooded. Several buildings wore damaged, and one sot on fire by lightning. Onoftouso was blown down and com* plolely aomoUHhod. Two grocery stores wore mined by tho flood; also a shoo store, and a fac tory had its machinery damaged. Hundreds of Soor people in tho low part of tho city were rowned out of tho collars, several having nar row escapes from drowning. THRILLING—IF TRUE, Revelation! of An Overthrown Oak, In a hurricane pausing over tho Ohio River and down tho Miami Valley on tho night of tho 4tb of July, a splendid grove of oaks on tho “ old Anderson farm " of a Mr. Rogers, in the latter locality, was almost wholly prostrated, and hero Is an amazing story derived therefrom and gravolv communicated to tho Miami County Democrat uy one J. P. Clark: “Upon tho morning subsequent to tho storm (Saturday) Mr. Rogers, in company with a hired man, proceeded to inquire into the extent of tho damage inflicted upon his premises, and tho first objective point was tho mined grove. The cen tre tree of tho plat was a noble oak, the king over his follows, and a tree which had stood tho ravages of time seemingly unscathed for several centuries. This tree had been snapped and foil ed by tho storm. Upon examining tho fallen giant for tho purpose of ascertaining itu worth as rail timber, Mr. Rogers made a startling discovery. This was nothing loss than tho faot that tho tree in falling hod disgorged a skeleton I The bones were disconnected, yellow as gold with ago, and scattered promiscuously over several square feet of pasturage. The skull was almost intact; all tbo tooth save two—molars—wore still in their places, and there was a scar on the loft parietal bone which looked like the memen to of some fierce cavalry charge. Tho humerus of tho right arm was shattered, and save tho throe defects just mentioned tho skeleton, when put together, was without blemish. Tho tree in falling, 1 should have mentioned, was rent asun der—a task not difficult of . accomplishment wheal refer to tho fact that an examination found that at some remote date tho very heart of tho oak had boon cleft ’by lightning. From a spot twenty feet from tho ground upwards to tho first groat fork—a distance of ton foot—a hollow extended, and from this cavity tho skele ton had boon hurled. If wo but know who ho was, thought my informant, Mr. Rogers, ami, strange to say, a few minutes later tho twain discovered that tho tree had also dis gorged a thrilling history. An old fashioned leathern pocket or memorandum-book lay in a remarkable state of preservation, which no doubt had boon dropped into the rent made by tho lightning, and thus boon preserved while its master decayed. A few brass buttons of old and unique pattern wore found near tbo memo randum, hut it is with tho latter that we have to deal. This old leather purse, entirely money less, contained sundry papers covered with rude panellings quite difficult to trace, os they wore written on tbo hocks of army passes and military consignments which dated us far hack as 177(3. Mr. Rogois convoyed tho bones to his house, and set about to read tbo memorandum of tbo cap tive of the tree. But owing to his failing eye sight bo could decipher but little, and this little a conglomerate mass of disconnections. But still ho road enough to loam that tho eyes that once shone in tho now orbloss sockets often looked upon Washington in tho heat of battle, and amid tbo snows of Valley Forgo; and tho skeleton arm when covered with flesh and muscle had struck many stalwart blows for our country. Tbo man’s name, as gathered from tho papers, was Roger Vandorberg, a native of Lancaster, Pa., and a Captain in tho Revolution ary Army. lie was on Aid to Washington during tho retreat across tbo Jerseys, and served a time in Arnold’s headquarters at West Point. In 1791 ho marched with St. Olalr against tho North western Indians, and in tho famous outbreak of that General on the Wabash, Nov. 8, of tbo year just written, ho was wounded and captured. But wbilo boing convoyed to tho Indian town at Upper Piqua—a historical nlaco well known to your readers—ho effected Ids escape, but found himself hard pressed by his savage foes. Ho saw tho hollow in the oak. and despite the mangled arm, and with tho aid of a koeoh that grow beside the giant then, ho gained tho haven, and dropped therein. Then came a fearful discovery. He had miscalculated tho depth of tho hollow, and there was no es cape. O, tho story told by tho diary of tho oak’s despairing prisoner 1 How rather than surrender to the torture of tho stake bo chose death by starvation; bow bo wrote his diary in the uncer tain light and tho snows 1 Hero is one entry in tho diary: “ ‘Nor. 10.—Five days without flood ! When I sleep I dream of luscious fruits and flowing streams, Tiio stars laugh at zuy misery I It Is snowing now. I freeze while I starve. Qod pity mo I’ 11 “ Tho italicised words woro supplied by Mr. Rogers, as tho trembling baud oft-times refused to mdito plainly, Novor waa such a record of Buffering traced by human hand hoforo. The entries covered a period of eleven days, and in disjointed sentences is told tho utory of St. Clair's defeat. Mr. Rogers has written to Lancaster to ascertain if any descendants of the ill-fated Cap tain live; if so, they shall have hia bones.” Should no such descendants survive, the narra tor of tho discovery proposes that tho patriotic people of Miami Comity shall erect a monument to the luckless Captain's memory.

Artomus Ward once said that “ every public celebrity, from Martha Washington down to George Peabody, has oaten oysters in Dorlon’s lu Pulton Market." Certainly almost every citi zen of thin city hag. From being a boatman on tho East River in years gone by, Mr. Sydney Dorlon became tho greatest retail dealer in oys ters certainly in tho United States, and probably in tbo world. Originally from Long Island stock, Mr. Dorian’s father, George, kept an oyster stand in tho old Ful ton Market. His sons, Alfred and P. Dorlon, wore also in tbo same business. Young Sydney Dorlon, with his brother-in-law, Goorgo Schaeffer, was a boatman of tho first order, ply ing from tho foot of Fulton street. Ho used to fish off Robbins’ Roof. As an oarsman ho had few equals, bolding tho championship of tho river for quite a while, and oven now the old boatmen look back with pride to his groat raco with Charley Thomas, a famous oarsman of tho day, in which Dorlon was victor. On leaving tho boat, seventeen years ago, Dorlon, with Schaeffer and Tom Wilson, started a little oyster-stand on tbo oast sido of Pulton Market. Consulting with his partners, Dorlon decided on tho course of busi ness in his usual bluff stylo. “Boys,” ho said, “we’ll mu this shop respectable, or we’ll burst.” And his decision not only raado him famous but rich. Little by little, and especially while Mr. Sullivan, of Sullivan & Woods, was Clerk of tho Market, tbo stand was enlarged until it absorbed almost all of tbo market trade, and gave em ployment to thirty men. Since tho day it was opened a disreputable character was never al lowed to outer it, if known to tho owners. Tho oysters, clams, and other sholl-flsh, mado a specialty of, wore of tho best quality, and cooked to perfection. A register was kept by tho proprietors of all tbo famous personages who patronized tho placo, and many famous names are found therein, —Horace Greeley, Charles Dickons, William Makepeace Thackeray, Avlemus Ward, Charles Sumner, Benjamin I*. Butler, Charles Kean, Charles Mathews, Gus tavos Vaughan Brooke, Recorder Gurney (of London), Daniel E. Sickles, Senator Broderick (of California), Senator Stephen A. Douglas, and scores of others equally distinguished. For somo months past Mr. Dorlon had boon in feeble health. On Sunday last, while at his residence, No. SI Johnson street, Brooklyn, ho died quiet ly, and almost suddenly. Nearly all the oystor mou in the city suspended business yesterday as a mark of respect. Yellow Fever at New Orleans* From the Madison (hid.) Courier. Private advices from Now Orleans say that the yellow fever has broken out in that city with sufficient severity to cauao quite a largo exodus of those who otherwise would have remained all summer at homo.
