BrantlinK of Hides.
Drovers’ Journal.
The matter of recW- HS hide branding costs cattlemen htindreds of thonsands of dollars every year. The London Chamber of Commerce recently, at the Instance of Its leather trade section, drew the attention of the Australasian Chamber of Commerce to the gregt depreciation In the values of hides shipped from the colonies by reason of the system of branding. and suggested their adoption of some system of smaller branding placed on a less valuable portion of the hide, or of some other distinction marks. The same trouble is experienced here. Our cattlemen do not stop to consider such "small” matters, and that Is where they make a mistake. The difficulty Is that branding tnarks, once established, are not easily changed, a» the cowboys and Inspectors get accustomed to looking for certain
tnds in certain positions. Ne
it would be well worth while for cattlemen to set about some plan for preventing the spoiling dt the best part of the
best bides.
Crops In Great Britain. London Times. January 24. With two-thirds of January completed, there was, up to the end of last week, no sign of the setting in of winter. It Is true that slight frosts were recorded, and that In the northern part of our Island there were light falls of snow and sleet, with an occasional boisterous atmosphere, but there has been no general fall of thermometer. The appearance of young crops everywhere proclaims a mild winter, and at present It appears quite likely that the aid of sheep will be required to feed down “proud” wheat In due course. Field work Is unusually forward. More wheat Is being sown this month than is commonly the case in January. and in some southern shires farmers have already seeded a portion of tha barley crop. Instead of waiting for the
March dust.
Packer Hides. It transpires that native steer hides were sold last week to the amount of 5,000'at 8c, with 2,000 butt brands at 7c. The §ale was made direct by a packer to a St. Louis belting tanner, and was not disclosed for several days. The effect of this transaction was to make the packers willing to listen to bids at the even figure. It now seems more than probable that the other three packers would sell a few heavy native steers at 8c. The stocks are not large, but there has been little pressure of late on the part of tanners to buy at any price. The -stocks of leather are being gradually worked off. Advices by wire from the Eastern markets are to the effect that English buyers have taken 200,000 sides of hemlock sole for export and that about 400,000 sides have recently been purchased for domestic consumption. These sales were made by the United States Leather Company. In .harness leather there are evidences of a comparative scarcity of the light and medium weights, and we are advised that the tanners are advancing their rates. Rumors are rife that some large sales of grain leather were mad.e in Boston within ‘ a day or two. Tifllen altogether, there is more Interest and activity in leather and the tanners seem more Intent upon selling leather than buying hdes. Primary Markets. Primary market receipts of wheat were 488,000 bushels, against 87,000 bushels the correspqnding day of last year. Minneapolis received 301 cars of wheat and Duluth 213 cars, a total of 514 cars, against 98 cars tha corresponding day last
year.

RUNNING RACES. Meeting of Men From Indiana Cltlea To Eatabllsh a Circalt.
A meeting of horsemen intereaUd in the formation of a running circuit was held at the Grand Hotel this afternoon. Representatives were present from Terre Haute. Toledo, Elkhart, Saginaw and Indianapolis. All were enthusiastic over the prospects of a successful running meeting In their several cities, and hoped to see the scheme go through. One disappointment at the meeting was the absence of representatives from Columbus. It was expected that that city would prove one of the best In the circuit, but a conflict in dates will prevent its going into tills association. A permanent organization among those present at the meeting will probably be effected to-night, and a circuit, consisting of Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Elkhart, Toledo, Saginaw and pos5j> sibly Bay City will be formed. The men interested in the runners say that they will have no difficulty in securing a high grade of horses for the different meetings, and that their greatest trouble will be to prevail on enough book-makers to graw into the meetings
to make them a success. o

Chicago Grain and Provlatonm. Chicago, February 6.—The opening In wheat was quieter than for several days, ■With-the crowd seemingly undetermined which side to take. The strength displayed by the cables was somewhat of a surprise, as a moderate decline was expected. and under their influence May opened about Vic higher at 680687,0. But Northwest receipts continued large, and under the influence of selling, said to be for Armour, the price declined to 67Vic. becoming dull and weak. At this price there was a withdrawal of offerings and May spurted quickly to 67%067\c. Corn opened Arm with small offerings. May opened Vic higher at 3«*ic. Later offerings became more liberal and May eased off to 30*kc. Oats quiet; May opened about Vic higher at 21 , / *.021%c and declined with the drop in wheat to 21**c. Provisions slightly higher at opening, in •sympathy with stronger hog markets, with trading scattered. May pork opened

The Echo Agricole says the tco premature development of the winter cereals is still complained of, as the plants bel\g unprotected by a snow cover would probably suffer with the setting in of rigorously cold weather. The fields are incumbered with weeds, and it. is feared they will also be Infested with vermin and insects if the present temperature be pro-
longed.
The Marche Francals asserts that the continuance of mild and rainy weather is again reviving farmers’ complaints in all directions. The cereals are growing much too rapidly to the detriment of their strength, and a spell of dry, cold and seasonably wimry weather is fervently de-
sired.
The Fenhier observes that excellent accounts are received of the crops. Everywhere the wheat stands thick and in very fine condition. May the winter not arrive at the last mqmen* and partially destroy present promlfes. ’ CITY WHOLESALE QUOTATION'S. Current Quotations On Various Com-

Various Quotations.
New York, February 6.—Considerable surprise was expressed in the street this morning over the fact that the London cables for Americans recorded decljpes of W-lfc per cent, below New York parity. The feeling had been almost general on the part of the traders that advances of 1@2 per cent, would occur in London, and it is believed that* strength in the local market will cause the foreign dealers to
swing )nto the bull line.
The local market opened active and higher, fractional gains being noted throughout the list. After the first few minutes, however, liquidation appeared, causing a decline ot %@% per cent., with Sugar, Burlington and Reading the most
conspicuous.-
The reactionary movement continued In force until about 10:30 o’clock. Missouri Pacific and General Electric in the meintime lost -a point, and Rubber two points. The latter was sold-down on rumors that the president of,"the company had re-

DiYID MILTON BOYD DEAD. r One of the Early Merchants of Indianapolis—His Family.
Special to The Indianapolis News. Terre Haute, Ind., February 6.—Maggie Kellar, one of the three defendants in the murder trial, is sick with fever. Unless her condition becomes critical, however, her Illness will not retard the progress of the trial. By agreement of counsel for both sides, the court records were to-day so entered up as to show the presence of all the prisoners, and the hearing proceeded with the patient under the care of a physician at the Jail. Nancy Kellar, the wife, wno was sick the week previous to the calling of the trial, still bears up, but shows signs of
breaking down.
To-day was the tenth day of the trial, and it la beginning to tell very perceptibly on the counsel, court and jury. Tho expert testimony, which has been in progress all this week, Is particularly wearisome. The defense-is putting to all the State’s witnesses a hypothetical question calculated to strengthen their theory that Clara Shanks fell or threw herself over the ledge or rock at the pool, thus breaking her neck and Inflicting the abrasion upon her features. Dr. McKey said to-day that he believes the bones of the neck could have been dislocated by strangulation, though the probability was that In such an event the rings on the trachea would have also been broken. In his opinion, death was due to
the broken neck.
Wounds Inflicted In Life.
Dr. E. L. Vancleave testified to-day that the wounds on the dead girl’s eyebrows indicated that they had been inflicted in life, and by a blow from some blunt instrument or from a clenched fist. Mr. Beasley asked the witness if the Parke County Medical Society had not investigated a claim of his, that he had graduated from the Ohio Medical College, and found it to be untrue. The witness said he did not claim to be a graduate of the Ohio Medical College. He went there until his course was almost completed. He finished at the Rush Medical College. Attorneys Lamb and Simms got into an altercation over the tesUmony of this witness. and the latter went after Mr. Lamb with clenched fists. The Court and bailiff prevented a meeting, and the Judge threatened the attorneys with a heavy Ane if they again indulged in personalities. Mr. Simms apologized, and Mr. Lamb explained. by which good feeling was again
restored.
-o- ■ — TROUBLE! AT MARIETTA. The Postofllce Temporarily Cloaetl As the Result of a General Flight. Special to The Indianapolis News. Shelbyvlile, Ind.. February 6.-For tfee past ten years the village of Marietta, nine miles west of here, has been the scene of numerous fights, assaults, shooting and stabbing affairs, which has brought the community into unenviable notoriety. That immediate locality has furnished more candidates for the penitentiary than any other neighborhood in this county. Last evening Alonzo Law. Charles Anderson, George McGinnis, Perry Islntrlgger and Sherman Becker went to the village, and, after getting drunk, proceeded to run the town. They went to the general store of Hagerman & Pile, in which is located the postoffice, Mr. Albert Pile being the postmaster, and attempted to pick a quarrel with Mr. Pile, but he avoided an encounter. Finding they could have no fight with Pile without first starting it, they began to kick over nail kegs, upset boxes and make a general assault on the store. Samuel Richey then put in an appearance, and a fight was started, in which Alonzo Law assaulted Richey with a knife, hitting him in the back, but doing no serious Injury. The trouble now amounted almost to a mob, and, watching his opportunity, Mr. Pile closed and locked his store. He and Richey then came hero and swore out affidavits against the entire crowd, and the officers are now after them. Mr. Pile will also carry the matter to the Federal Court, and try to have the men Indicted for interfering with his duties as postmaster. o Six Head of Horsee Cremu-ted. Special to The Indianapolis News. Franklin, Ind., February 6.—A large barn on the farm of A. J. Thurston, ten miles east of this city, was burned last night, the light being plainly seen here. Nothing was saved, and among the valuables deatroyed were twenty tons of hay. several hundred bushels of corn and six head of valuable horses. The barn was owned by A. J. Thurston, of Shelbyvllle, and was leased by a man named Gray. There is partial insurance. o Looking Up the Myers Case. Special to The Indianapolis News. Elwood, Ind., February 6.—The Elwood Court of Foresters, who have been investigating the alleged demise of Thomas Myers,, and the later death,of Dr. Thomas A. Cox, have made discoveries that convince them that both men are yet alive. They have secured trace of Myers, and now say he Is wandering in the West. They wrote to Marietta. Ind.. for proof 3f Cox's death, and have received word that no such a man died there. Overturned and Badly Hurt. Special to The Indianapolis News.

on the trade of cabinet-making. As he possessed thrifty and economical habits, he put aside sufficient money to open a general store In South Meridian street, about one apd a half squares south of Washington street This was in 1847. For many years he carried on a prosperous business, from which he retired with means sufficient to maintain himself and family for the remainder of his life. The family home was near the site of this primitive store, and remained until the early 60's, when it gave way to a large wholesale block. He was always exceedingly methodical in his business methods, and in all his habits of life, noted for the exact and scrupulous care with which he met all his obligations and for his unswerving hon-
esty.
For the past six years he had been confined to his home with progressive paralysis, and it was this disease that caused his death. He married Miss Betsy Ann Brown In 1835, who died two years ago, after com» panionship of nearly fifty years. Ms. Boyd leaves five children—Mrs. Anna M.

HAUGHVILLE IMPROVEMENTS.
Action Taken By the Town Board Concerning; Roadways and Walks. The Haughville towni trustees last received a petition from a dozen propertyowners in Holmes avenue, asking the extension of that street from; Summit street to Grand View avenue. The town has attempted) this on two occasions previously, but failed for various reasons. Half of the street within these boundaries has ■ gravel roadway and cement walk. The remaining half belongs to a man who opposes giving it up to public use. The engineer was instructed to make the necessary survey, and the attorney to prepare tho resolutions necessary to the apportionment of appraisers. A petition from the Moore Lumber Company for a stone crossing in Michigan street at Ketcham street brought up the question of improving Ketchrm street so that a crossing could be put in at proper grade, and the board instructed the engineer to set the stakes preparatory to improving the street with gravel roadway and sidewalks. An unnamed street runs east from the school house in Ketcham street. The board named it Bunting street, after the owner of the most of the abutting property, and asked the engineefi to prepare plans and specifications for its improvement in conformity with neighbor-
ing* streets.
The president of the board, Trustee Patterson. said that recent weather indicated to him that "his street,” Warman avenue, needed cement walks, and he would make a motion that the boartV order them in that street, the one on the east side to extend from Michigan street to the south line of the Catholic church property, and the one on the W£st side from Michigan Street to the south line of Vermont street. The motion was seconded by both trustees Russel and Greiner, the latter saying that he was In favor of having cement walks in everv street and alley in the town. Trustee Greiner moved that the board order a brick walk, six feet wide, in the south side of Grand View avenue, from Belmont to Hoknes avenue. The street is In Trustee Russel’s district, and President Patterson asked Russel to second the motion. He finally did 90, after Greiner had assured him that the poorest propertyowner In the street was willing that the Improvement should be made. Trustee Patterson proposed the Improvement of Summit street, from Belmont avenue to Holmes avenue. It was at first intended that this street, too. should have cement walks, but the lots run lengthwise in it, and the trustees resolved that the cost of such walks would prove a burden to the owners of property and the engineer was Instructed to make his plans and specifications for gravel roadway and sidtW The trustees evinced a desire tq get at the Improvement of Michigan street. Attorney Spencer said that the injunction case relative to this improvement, will be heard in court before the month is out The attorney also Informed the board that Judge Brown has recalled his Judgment in the Merritt annexation case, and that It will have another trial. Dr W. O. Williams, secretary of the board of health, suggested that the board purchase a fumigating machine, such as Is used in Indianapolis. The machine kills all the bacteria without making it necessary to tear off wall paper destroy carpets bedding, etc. Its cost Is $14 and the material for each house about 15 cents. The doctor said that the defects of the old method had been recently Illustrated i n the suburb, when a case of diphtheria developed In the family of a new tenant of a house which had been fumigated and also vacant for months. The doctor also wanted a better system of regulating the disposal of garbage, but the board thought that until Indianapolis authorities could devise a satisfactory system, the suburb could not do anything better than wait anotherTig four mar.
In the Police Court. In Police Court, this morning, J. H. Owens and Effle Carter, who were ar- , rested last night, informed Judge Cox | that they would like to be married, and, upon recelv ng permission from the Court, they sent for Justice of the Peace Lockman. who performed the ceremony in the bailiff’s office. After the ceremony the cases against them were dismissed. Babe Mllier was fined $5 and costs for having been drunk, and he* was bound over to the grand Jury on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. —^ © In the Federal Court. In the Federal Court, this morning, the case of Jesse H. McDowell against the L. E. & W. railroad for *5,000 damages was being tried. Sparks from a locomotive set fire to a quantity of muck land. The jury' In the case or Emma E. Trucksess against the Pettis Dry Goods Company for $25,000 damages, for personal injuries received in the elevator at the New York store, reported that it could not agree.

THE GREED FOR GOLD.
London gpectator. One of the worst and most dangerous features In the International relations of the present day is Ike development of a new kind of greed. At present the land-hunger has receded almost out of politicians’ sight, superseded. as it were, by a newer and more dangerous greed. France, it if true, took Savoy and Nice from their owner#; Germany. Alsace-Lorraine; Austria, B>«nia and Herzegovina; and there are provinces, and ev«n kingdoms, like Sorvia ani Bulgaria, which are objects of incessant intrigue; but the naff'jms are more excited by the des re for actual- wealth. As the root of socialism to the thirst of the poor for more physical comfort, better food, better lodging,' and .more leisure, so the root of international Jealousy to the thirst for a larger national fortune, to be rid of a general poverty which diminishes too slowly for the Increase in the ganeral sense of wants, a sense produced In ths main by advancing Intelligence. The people* are eagerly scanning the roads to wealth, and find them not to Industry and reduced taxation, but In tropical possessions, in foreign trade, in the Immense business based upon ’’conoessons." that Is, In realty, upon mining rights, s'ate contract and monopolies of all descriptions. The governments are urged to “divide Afuca ” to found colonies like German East Africa, to conquer kingdom* Mite Madagascar, to secure "treaty rights 4 * over profitable trades, even to use their political •strength to secure bargains like the supply of ra’ls to China, or the monopoly of mineral oil In Russ’a, or the supply of some single article like tobacco to the people of Turkey. The home market is guarded as If it were a property, and the Intrusion of foreigner* into the colonial market rouses against them the kind of feeling with which the buccaneers were once regarded in Spain. France Is one of the greatest states In the world, but Its government was lately threatened with overthrow, because the administration of Algeria had granted a monopoly of some phosphates to a British company. Nay, the popular cry went even further, and, as we reported last week, the French colonists of Tonquin were denounced as traitors because they ventured to request permission to buy goods out of France. Of course, with the popular temper In such a state, any nation which Is active ts suspected of seeking gain, and half the continent believes at this moment that English Interference for the Armenians is dictated by a hope of obtaining specially profitable trades in Turkey, oh, perhaps, of discovering another auriferous region In Armenia. In particular the thirst for gold in Its concrete and tangible shape has broken out everywhere algicat as strongly as It broke out in the sixteenth century among Spaniards, Portuguese, and , Elizabethan Englishmen. Mines, It to believed, on the continent, are the swiftest, perhaps the largest, of all wealth producers, and not to possess them Is to be poor. One great cause of the sudden exaltation of the Jealous hatred of“Great Britain is a belief that we have been suddenly enriched by new discoveries of mines yielding not only precious metals, but even diamonds and rubies, shares in. which have recently excited a mania of speculation in Paris, Vienna and Berlin. Look, say the hungry continentals. at the wealth those selfish English are obtaining ih Australia, South Africa, British Columbia- and British Guiana, digging It out of the very ground. Why should those insolent Islanders, with no conscription, have all that, and we nothing except what we can make by tilling exhausted soils, or competing with all the world for the sale of our still very feeble manufactures? We will have some of the really fat things, if we have to fight for them. The French have been persevering in Madagascar because they expect to find gold. The Germans are eager for the inderSfendence of the Transvaal because It to a last gold region, which may ultimately, they fancy, fall to them. Even tha Japanese have been lured to Formosa by hopes, probably wett founded, that the Island may be found to be one of the ’’metalliferous patches” of the world. There is a positive frensy oi greed developed in the active nations which lends heat and purpose to every accusation against England, and we ourselves are not innocent In the matter. Most of out mines came to ue long before the. thirst for mining began, but though it fs ciUturable territory that we have, first of all, sought in South Africa, our recesslty being emigration, there can be <no doubt that the search for gold has Influenced both our policy and our colonization. It has not influenced our government much, or we should never have invested tho Boers with property rights in the Transvaal, or given up so easily our claftn to Madagascar; but it has influenced financiers, traders and tho host* of adventurers who have followed upon t.ieir footsteps. , Lobengula was a horrid savage, who at la^t took to murdering our people; but if his dominion had been merely prairie, wa suspect he would have been reigning still. The Americans, who are like ue in temperament, except that they are sensitive, have no foreign territories to exploit; but they would themselves admit that one key to their Internal politics is the desire, rising to a furious passion among ths governing men of their silver-yielding States, to raise the price of that metal to its ancient level. It to the greed of multitudes. not any financial necessity, which has given the ”8llverites”'such a petition in tho Senate that no tax hilt can be passed which does not, in some way, favor their views, and that no proposal for a single gold standard can obtain so much as a fair hearing. We do not know that It Is of any particular use to moralize upon this outbreak of international greedlnces, which is only remarkable because it has seized upon such vast populations at once. The world has known tho symptoms e< th» gold fever for many hundred years, and has agreed to treat the gold thirst as a feature In human nature rather than an aberration. If gold has been found near a city, no one will remain at work; even military discipline is shaken, and no fore* short of military leiw, which has death for its Ultimate sanction, will keep employes faithful to thfcir doty. Nations are but collections of individual*, and we do not wonder, therefore, at France and Germany, and even America, regarding British success In gold finding wRh envious or angry eye*.
