Tha wlwst market mled rtetdy mmA •omewbat under Friday's close. .The range was narrow, September selling' at M to 0%o. The weather was favorable. Receipts both, at Chicago and 8t. Louis were larger, and promise to increase as the week progresses. The exports were good. The visible decreased 661,000 bushels. The on passage decreased 1,200,000 bushels. The world’s shipments were about 6,110,000 bushels. The Ohio State erop report makes condition 46, a low per sent. With good weather, the market will probably rule easy for some days to come, tmltss some sensational bullish news should develop Corn hardly got out of a rut Oats were slightly lower. Provisions ranged around Saturday’s ilose, there being no recovery from the late break. The receipts of hogs are liberal. but below that of Monday for some weeks peat.
Wool.
Sales for the week, 1,988,000 pounds. The market ha* evinced much less activity than last week. There Is practically nor inquiry, and prices are, in many cases, flat, on the basis of the lowest point of last year's salt*. Fine fleeces have not yet touched bottom, for reasons noted below, but there Is little to choose between the lowest prices paid last year and to-day’s figures, as far as medium unwashed fleeces or trana-Mlsaisslppl wools are concerned. It wlU be remembered that, thanks to the boom In goods abroad last year, there wad a steady advance in wool in June, 1*95. The following table of prices may be inter-

Brokers* Gossip. New York, July 6--The stock market opened under concerted attack on Sugar and Chicago Gas. The farmer opened up H P« r cent., but fell 1% per cent, although at the decline som* support became apparent and the price ruled steady. Gas wait broken 2 per cent. tdW opening up 1 per cent., and it rallied freely. The railway list made only a partial response to the advances in London over the holidays, and soon began to yield under moderate selling for both accounts. Rock Island declined 1% ptr cent., from the opening, and Burlington lost 1 per cent St. Paul and Louisville & Nashville yielded, with apparent reluctance. Manhattan sold off 1 per cent, and Western Union was Vi per cent, lower. Toward 11 o’clock the selling pressure increased and prices went to the lowest 'flgurts of the morning. Gc vemmerit bonds generally
were lower.

GORED TO DEATH BY A BULL
A Yoi
; Lady Mutilated Almost Beyond Recognition.
Bellvue, la.. July 6.-Mlss Minnie Kell, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Sophia Kell, a widow living about six miles south of this place, was gored to death by a savage bull Saturday evening. The young lady had accepted an Invitation to participate In • dance given at the residence of a farmer in the neighborhood and started from home on foot and alone. While crossing a pasture field she was attacked by the animal, which gored her until life was extinct. Her failure to appear In the ball-room caused much anxiety on the part of the young lady's friends, some of whom drove to her mother’s house to ascertain the cause of her absence. There they learned that she had left home to attend the ball and had not been seen since she entered the field, across which was the short cut to her desttnatlqp. A searching party was immediately formed and all night long kept up the quest. About 11 o’clock yesterday morning her body was found, multiiated almost beyond recognition. Miss Kell was dlghteen years old. highly respected and a social favorite In the neighborhood.

lobby,’ made its way to the Matthews headquarter* on the third floor. Tim Griffin marched In front and led the cheering for Indiana’s favorite son. The arrival of the "boomers” put a little new life into the men about headquarters, who, having heard nothing but “Bland” all day. were inclined to feel discouraged. A score of women who came in with the club found their way to the headquarters soon after the marchers, and they immediately took up the work of pinning Matthew badges on every man who would wear one. Some of the “boomers” made themselves useful by handing additional pictures of Che Governor, while others started out to “see the town.” Speaking of pictures brings to mind that, so far as the convention visitors know, there Is not a picture of President Cleveland displayed in the city. Last evening the Indiana sound money Democrats decided that they would hang his picture In their headquarters. Several hours were spent In searching for a picture, but none wes found. An Indtanian, who is now liv.ag In Chicago, remembered to have seen a picture of the President hanging in a saloon somewhere in the city, and he waa sent to see if he could get it. lie failed. An 1892 likeness was discovered in one of the county offices, but it could not be secured 'by the Indlanians. C. M. COOPER SEATED. The Nati9nnl Committee Decide* In Hi* Favor.

RUSSELL’S PREDICTION. He*.Regard* Free Silver Aa a Certainty Very Soon. Special to The Indianapolis NeT Chicago, 111., July 6.—John E. Russell, a candidate for Governor of Massacnusetls two years ago, and a representative sound money Democrat, says thp sound money Democrats will not bolt the Chicago convention. “Nothing is to be gained [by it,” he said. “We are going to have free silver, no matter what is done by > us, or what the result of the election may b». If Mr. McKinley Is elected, he dan not avoid it; he can not get authority from Congress to sell gold bonds, and he can not get more revenue unless he consents to sign a free silver bill. He can not hope for any better treatment frotn Congress than Mr. Cleveland has ha^. The hope and intention of the Republicans, in order to avoid responsibility, is to force us onto a silver basis before the close of Mr. Cleveland’s term.” “Are they likely to succeed?” “I should say they are. It’s In the cards. A raid on the gold reserve is expected in a short time, and the gold will d.sappear. Then the Treasury will go on a silver basis. We shall have free silver before the close of Mr. Cleveland’s term.”

VIEWS OF PROMINENT DELEGATES. Their SuKkestlon* A* To the Candidate* and Platform. Chicago, July 6.—The Tlmas-Heraid today prints the following views from prominent delegates who are here to attend the Democratic national convention: “I have served four years m Congress with Mr. Bhand, and there witnessed his earnest devotion to the cause of silver. I belfeve that his work, in season and out of seison, in behalf of that cause has had more to do with the creation of this peaceful revolution than anything else that has happened in the last twenty years. His name and record will make a platform. The people !n this campaign want to know that the man they vote for as President is in good faith in hifi advocacy of silver. Mr. Bland Is a California pioneer; also a Nevada pioneer. In those two States he wielded the pick aaid shovel, and since bis return to Missouri from the We»t has followed the occupation, except the time he was serving in Congress, of a farmer. So we have in him a # man of the peopl^, springing from their ranks and in sympathy with their aspiration^. This contest is one of the masses as against the classes, the people against Wall street, and It fs fitting that a nran chosen from the masses, who has rendered such service, should be their leader. “A CAMINETTI, “National Delegate from California.” “We are here under practical Instruc. tions for free silver at 16 to 1, outside of foreign Intervention, and we want, a «andidate who will represent these views. The majority of the delegation has expressed their presidential preferences. Callfcrnia wants a nominee who can w<n I believe every member of the delegation favors the nomination of a Democrat. “W. W. FOOTE, “National Delegate from California.” , "The silver nominee will carry Colorado by 90,000 majority. The fealty to State and national interests have eliminated party lines in Colorado. There is. only one party there now, and that Is silver. Bland would be an acceptable nominee. C. S. THOMAS, "National Committeeman and Chairman Colorado | Delegation.” “Bland or any silver Democrat can carry Colorado and the silver States. Silver forces should combine. United we stand; divided we fall. B. O. SWEENEY, “National Delegate from Colorado.”
Vice-President Stevenson’s Message. Chicago, July 6.—Ex-Congressman T, W. Neely, of Petersburg, 111., has received the following dispatch, dated Bloomington, 111., from Vice-President A. E. Stevenson: *T think the silver meeting at Springfield was icld in the fiarly summer of 1878. I renr ember that you and I were In attendance. My election to Congress in the following November was the result of my advocacy of the remonetization of silver.” Since the above dispatch was received here, indicating that Mr. Stevenson is in line with the silverites, it has given an impetus to the Vice-President’s presdential boom.
THE LORRIES.
Matter* oC Fact and Go**ip In and About the Hotel*. Chicago Special New York Sun. - R was before breakfast when the Hon. Hod Boies got into town from Waterloo this morning. There were not many people around the corridor of the hotel and nobody cheered him. He lobked with approval on the many pictures of himself that were displayed in the rotunda, and on the electric light sign that bore his name. One of the names that the Hon. Hod is known by is “affidavit face.” It came about in this way. When he was* practicing law he was retained by a man to fight a case against a railroad company. He won the case. The foreman of the jury, explaining the verdict afterward, said: “You see, it was just this way. The evidence was just exactly equal. One side had just as many witnesses as the other, and they were all reliable. There wa’n’t any choice, so we had to consider the counsel, an’ I tell you, thet ere face o’ Hod's la as good as an affidavit every time—yes, sir, ez good ad an affidavit. When we think o’ thet face we all had t' give in thet the plaintiff had away the best of it—yes, away the best of it.” The Hon. Hod Boles is said to be the richest man of all the candidates who has any chance of capturing the nomination here. He Is said to be worth in the neighborhood of $200,000. He earned some of It in the law business, and the rest of It he got out of the Iowa farm lands, that, according to his boomers, are not worth enough powder to blow them up. He works in the corn field, his boomers say, because he is thrifty, and he believes that every man who is able to should earn his own living, whether he has money enough to live without work or not. The heart of the Hon. Hod simply bleeds for the poor Iowa farmers who, like himself, haven’t been able to lay by more than $200,009. Of the other candidates. Senator Blackburn owns a plantation which he inherited, and that Is about all that he does own. Governor Claude Matthews, of Indiana, is in a chronic state of bust, and so is Governor Campbell, of Ohio. Senator Teller is said to be about $100,000 ahead of the world, and his brother, who lives at Morrison. III., is a very rich man. John R. McLean, of course, bos money to burn, but he can't be
counted among the men who have prospects, at least at this writing. "Say, would you mind telling me whether Matthews would take *the vicepresidency?” he whispered to the reporter in a very mysterious manner. This was just outside of the headquarters of the sound money men of Indiana. “I’m sure I can’t,” said the reporter. "There’s a man in there who probably can tell you; go ask him.” and he pointed to Congressman Bynum, who is a sound money man all through and, therefore, hates Matthews. The Inquirer sidled over to the Congressman and presumably he asked the same question. There was a loud explosion. The Congressman leaped up, the air became blue. The inquirer fled and the reporter followed. “Did you find out?” asked the reporter, when the inquirer had stopped running. "Oh, is it you?*’ asked the inquirer. “Why, say, he’s the funniest man 1 ever saw. Did you say he comes from Indiana?*’ Senator Stewart is stopping at the Iceland. Tnat hotel Is equipped with fire alarms in every room. He wanted a pitcher of toe water last night, and he pushed the fire alarm instead of the call bell. The porters hustled up-stairs with fire extinguishers. They were met at the door by the Senator, who wanted to know where the fire was. “In your room, sir,” said the porters. “The devil it is,” said the Senator. "I want a pitcher of ice waller, that's what I want.” The porters went down-stairs disgusted and told the clerk that he'd better send a watchman up to the room, or “the mug” up there would be blowing out the gas. They were at the breakfast table this morning. One was a Matthews boomer and the other announced frequently and in a loud tone of voice that he "didn’t have no favorite son.” They talked about candidates, and finally the boomer for Matthews asked, as a sort of feeler, how the other felt or thought Matthews stood. “Matthews! Matthews!” exclaimed the other fellow; “he stood O. K. until this morning, but I tell you, friend, he’s deaderin a mackerel, a mackerel. Why, a mackerel ain’t nothin’ beside him. Just you look a-here, in this here papef. What did those fool friends o’ his go 'a do last night but pass a resolution not to go into no caucus? I won’t t’ know did ye ever see such damn foolery—did you?” “But why should he go Into a caucus?" asked the boomer. “Maybe he wouldn’t have the most votes for -the nomination, and then where would he be in the convention?” _ “Friend,” said the other man, "that there ain’t patriotism, it ain’t; and you ain’t helped your friend' Claude Matthews a little lit by makin’ that remark. It ain’t patriotism. We uns made up our minds that the proper thing to do was to have a caucus and decide who were the best candidates to support, ’n’ the man who had the most votes In that caucus were to get the united support of all. Now that’s fair, *n when any man ain’t willin' t’ stand by the rule o' the majority, why, he! ain’t no friend o’ free ’n unlimited silver, that’s what he ain’t. I tell ye Claude Matthews Is deader’n a macyerel. ’N you uns will find it out, you uns will.” "Well,” said the Matthews boomer, "that ain’t according to precedent. Is it. to go Into caucus on the question of candidates? It’s all right to have a caucus rule on the matter of platform, but not candidates.” “Precedent be damned,” said the other fellow. "I tell you I wouldn’t vote for my own brother if he wouldn’t go into a caucus and agree to abide the result. Yes, sir, precedent be damned. What d’ye tl ink we uns care for precedent?” “Let’s see,” said the Matthews man. "You are for Bland, ain’t you?” "Well, what If I am?” said the other man. “I ain’t got no favorite son. at that.” The conversation stopped right there.
GREAT DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
OFF FOR CHICAGO. Tbe Matthew* Club Goes About 500 StronK—Other Delegation*. Between 1,800 to 2,000 people were In the Union station yesterday. The greater portion of them had gone down to see the crowds start for Chicago and to watch the trains bring delegations for that city from the South. There was a special train from Cincinnati carrying a number of Democrats, but the delegates from the Sculfi went by way of Louisville’ and missed this city. The prominent men in the East went direct to Chicago and not by way of Indlangpolis. The "Gravel Hall Club,” of Dayton, had a special train that was well stocked with enthusiasm and other things. - The star attraction was the Matthews Club, of this city. The club was made up of tbe members of all the Democratic political organizations. The Big Four had made a rate of $3.76 for the round trip, good on this train only, and sold the club four hundred tickets. The club disposed of that number ai\d eighty additional, so there were on the train close to five hundred persons. The train was made up of eight coaches and a baggage car. The cars were trimmed with banners announcing the name of the club and .bearing the portraits, of Governor Matthews. It had been the Intention to start the train ahead of the regular Chicago train, but there was so much delay in getting ready that it was run out as the second section of No. 2. The members of the club and those who went on the cheap tickets met at the State House, and with a band marched to the Union station. Governor Matthew* qvas there, and was frequently cheered as he made his way through the crowds.’ Soipe of the delegations from other towns cheered for him also. Mayor Taggart, Comptroller Johnson and other “gold bugs” did not go on the special. They patronized the regular train that had chair cars and sleepers attached. The travel to-day was much heavier than was anticipated and the Big Four had to add three coaches to its regular Chicago train, and then the people were packed in so that many could not get seats. The Duckworth Club, of Cincinnati, reached here at 1 o’clock on a special train for Chicago. It was made up of a baggage car and five vestibule coaches. President Ingalls, of the Big Four, give the use of the train to the club and only members of the organization were allowed to ride on it. The club in its showy uniform attracted considerable attention^ Van Vorhi* a Bimetallist. F. J. Van Vorhis, who was lately a candidate for school commissioner, nas declined to take the stump for the Republican party. He has been classed a Republican. His law partner is a Democrat. In answer to an invitation from Chairman Gowdy to speak for the ticket Mr. Van Vorhis said that he could not do so for the reason that for the first time in many years he could not agree with the platform of his party. He explained that he is “a bimetallist ini the true meaning of that word.” All Gone To Chicago. There is hardly a Democrat prominent in poktics left In the city, and the date of the county convention seems to be forgotten. No one is paying any attention to it. The candidates for sheriff are making a fight, thinking that because of the opposition to Shufeiton, the Republican nominee, there is a chance to elect a Democrat The Republicans ara all watoo'.ig Chicago, and giving no heed to State or county political affairs.

THE TOWN OF HORDEN DAMAGED BY A CLOtDBURST.
A Pioneer of the Wabash — Robbery and Revenge—Ball Team Crippled —The Oldest Cons let DeadOther News of the State.
Special to The Indianapolis News. Jeffersonville, Ind., July 6.—A terrific cloud-burst, extending over a lirge area, which reached Pekin, twenty-three miles north, on the Monon, to south of Louisville, visited this section Saturday night.: This city and New Albany were literally overflowed, on some streets the water being four to five feet deep. Roads were washed out, culverts and small bridges were carried awiy, and enormous damage was done to crops. The storm did its worst at Borden, eighteen miles north, on the Monon, where the waters swept away the store and bakery of E. D. Porter, the houses of Martin Miller and William Dudley, the Methodist parsonage, William- McKinley’s box fatcory, and Dick Morton’s house, a mile below town. Fisher’s sawmill, just above the town, is also reported washed away. The houses of Mrs. Ella Little and Mrs. Zella Coffman were partially wrecked. A gentleman who came in from there says that Dennis McKinley, at the risk of his own life, with a twohorse team, swam out to one of the flouting houses and rescued two women and several dhiidren. No estimate of the dqm* age can be made, since in addition the crops between Pekin and Nelson’s Switch, a distance of fifteen miles, are completely ruined. The cloud-burst extended from New Albany to Utica, thirteen miles, along the river. So far there has not been any report of loss of life. PIONEER OF THE WABASH. An Original Whig and True To Her
Early Conviction*.
Special to The Indianapolis News.
Terre Haute, Ind., July 6.—Mrs. - Louisiana Liston, of Pimento, has concluded a visit with her children, who are prominent residents here, and has returned home. Mrs. Liston, who is now in her ninety-second year, is still quite active, and is one of the most Interesting pioneers left in the Wabash valley. Her second husband, Joseph Liston, was a scout and guide under General Harrison in the war of 1812. He plowed the first furrow ever turned in Vigo county. Mrs. Liston came to-Indiana in 1820 with William Lloyd, her first husband, journeying overland In an ox-cart, mounted on wooden wheels. With them was their baby daughter, the mother of County Treasurer W. T. Sanford, who is now in her seventy-sixth year. Their first experience in the Hoosler State was the exchange of their -’wild-cat” Kentucky money for Indiana currency, and it resulted In the diminishing of their
fortune by one-half.
They purchased a farm in the southern ortion of the county, and Mrs. Liston (or .loyd, as it was then) rode on horseback to Terre Haute and return, a distance ‘of over forty miles, to buy their necessary supplies. Her first Impression of the town was not very favorable. At that time it consisted of a few small log stores, or tfadlng posts, surrounding the adobe court-housdt and the solitary square was filled with settlers, shivering with ague, for which the Wabash valley was at that time noted. The river waa then frequently called the St. Jerome, and Was navigable the year round as far as Lafayette, and frequently as far as Noblesville. The National road was then in course of construction, and was exciting universal comment;, in fact, it was the Issue of the hour. The Wabash and Erie canal, or Clinton's big ditch, as many called It. was
projected.
Mrs. Liston still takes a liv»ly interest in ^public affairs and continues to call her-
affected, but he was harmless and sometimes he would go for days without addressing any one. He made pets of a number of chickens belonging to one of the prison cooks, and he would sit for hours with them roosting on his head and shoulders. Sc hupp was sentenced for killing his son-in-law near Lawrenceburg In 1888. He always claimed that his son-in-law purposely ran against the pitchfork which he was holding. Schupp is the second life-time man who ha* died in the prison south during the past. week. -- Dally Pager Change* Managetneai. Special to The Indiana poll# Newt.

Special to The Indianapolis News. Peru, Ind., July 6.—Millions of grasshoppers appeared on James Hossman’s farm, south of this city, last week, and stripped an eighteen-acre field of clover of every leaf.
