JOAB SHOT.

The Accident In His Law Office Yesteiday Afternoon. Wall street was thrown into intense excitement yesterday afternoon about 3:30 p'clock by M. M. Joab, the attorney, shooting himself. The stairway leading to his ofB-je ws-j soon crowded, and a large crowd gathered on the sidewalk and street. A few pushed into the room, but were requested to retire. Dr. Swafford soon entered the office, and the crowd was kept waiting for some time beforfe news was received as to tlie injured man's condition.

Uis fcistcr, Mrs. Mary J. Mickleberry, states that .about a week ago she found her brother's revolver in a drawer, badly in need of cleaning. She advised him to attend to it, and he told her he would. She was in his rooms again to-day and found the revolver unattended to, and again called his attention to it. He went into Mr. Asa M. Black's office, at the rear of his rooms, and borrowed his can of coal oil for the purpose of using some oil on the weapon. He came back and seated himself at the writing desk and began work on the revolver. The attention of his sister was attracted to another part of the room, and she was not noticing her brother, boon there -was a loud report, and, turning round, she found him sitting with his hands clasped to his breast and the revolver lying on the desk. She hurried to him, and lie told her that he had shot himselt, and asked her to summon assistance. She ran to Mr. Black's

room

and requested his assistance. Mr. Black aaked Jacob how i: happened, and he replied, "Accident," in a low tone of voice. Further assistance was summoned, aud Joab was removed to a bed in a room at the rear of his oilice apartment.". A messenger was sent for Dr Swafford. The doctor examined the wound, but made no attempt to probe it. The ball entered about half an inch above where the breast bone separates, and was located under the iltsh, under the lower

of the right shoulder. The revolver was a 38-caliber, and the bullet made a frightful looking hole. The wounded man bore'up well. About 4:30 clock it was thought he was finking, but it was

ou|y

the efleets of the shock he had

received.

As the doctor did not probe the

wound.

I he course of the ball was hot

determined It is possible tnat it plowed its wny through in a direct line, or that it struck the end or a rib, and followed the rib around to the shoulder. Again it ecu Id have passed between the lungs, a space that hiled with tissues. If its course direct, the chancei for life are few, and if it followed a rib or went between the lungs.luB chances foi recovery are good. The doctor expressed little hope last evening, saying that Joab was a badly wounded man, and he was fearful of the result.

The report around tawn was that he attempted to commit suicide, but from all indications it WJ'.« ACCIDENTAL. An attor nev who is:'.* iniir^ts mend of Joab, told an Kpt* renter that he was with Joab roiji! •utes before the c-MOonr-r cheerful and talk of suicide was based ou tween Joab aud his dithat trouble has been sov is possible for it to be reconciliation should oo.ur, divorce was granted sever*. ycu-sr^. court gave her the custody ox the child.

At 2 o'clock Joab was seen at his room. He was lying on his right side and appeared to be in a stupor or deep-sleep, occasioned, probablv, by the powerful opiates he had taken, fiis brother, G. C.

THE MINNEAPOLIS MILLS.

Flour Has Been Dull and Prices Have Declined—Comparative Prices. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., August 27. The Northwestern Miller will say Friday: Flour has been dull and prices declined 15 to 25 cents. Export inquiries are scarce, with heavy concessions demanded, while the domestic demand is moderatet with a very inactive market and a downward tendency. Quotations for car or round lots at the mills are nominally as follows: Patents, $4.60 to $4.85 straights, $4.25 to $4.50 first bakers', $3.60 to $3.80 second bakers', $3.10 to $3.40 best low grades, $2 to $2.25 in bags red dog, $1.50 to $1.70 in bags. The production of the week was 68,592 barrels, averaging* 11,432 barrels daily, against 60,858 barrels the previous week, and 86,700 barrels for the corresponding time in 1884. New. wheat is beginning to move, and will soon become an important factor in price-making. Shipments .were quite large, and there are reports of a goodly movement from country points direct to comsumptive points. The thrasher is demonstrating that the damage to the crop has been overrated. Along the Northern Pacific, where reliable reports previously placed it at 25 per cent, enough is known to show that 20 per cent: is the limit, with a better percentage in some localities. There have been receipts of fine samples of hard grades from the country around Neche, near the boundarp, accompanied by favorable reports. The cool weather of the last three weeks has been of vast benefit to the spring wheat crops as a whole.

The highest and lowest wheat prices by grade on 'change during the week ending to-day, closing prices, and the prices one year ago were:

Lynn, but half an hour's ride from Boston, should be visited by all who are interested in American industries, as here the shoe element preponderates, and other businesses are but moderate compared with that of shoeing the people. Almost every building of prominence represents shoes or something relating thereto (in the form of trimmings, bindings, threads in innumerable variety), ^»nd the atmosphere has a sort of leather and prunella vibration as general conversation tends to shoes, Lynn always has been famous as a shoemakkig place. I think the first settler was a shoemaker, and Thomas Veal, the pirate, whelmed by the earthquake of 1652 in Dungeon Kock, was aiso a shoemaker. All other business of Lynn is dependent upon this, which has grown to titanic proportions, and the busy city stands on its taps, to-day, the great shoe center of the country. A ride to Lynn, including a visit !o some of the principal manufactories, will introduce to the visitor all the new machinery in shoemaking that has revolutionized the business. The old bench, with its slow modes, the lapstone and the individual awl, have disappeared, and the making of an entire slioe is but the work of minutes. 1 was in a manufactory on Market street, and in reply to my question jis to how

FAMINE OF POSTAL CARDS.

fche Supply Almost Exausted Owing to the Contractor's Delay. WASHINGTON, August 27.—There is considerable uneasiness felt at the postoffice department from fears that the supply of postal cards in the various postoffices throughout the country may become exhausted before a new supply can be furnished. The contract with the old contractors for furnishing postal cards was not renewed, but anew contract "with C. C. Woolworth, of Charleston, N. Y., was entered into on July 1, at^ a considerable reduction compared witn former prices. At that time it was estimated that there were sufficient postal cards to last until September 1, on which date' the new contractors were to begin furnishing supplies. The new contractor is behind over a week from the date stipulated when he should have begun to print the cards. As a consequence pf this delay nearly every large postofnee in the United States has run short of cards. Postmaster Pearson telegraphed this morning that he h%d postal cards sufficient for to day only. A supply was transferred from another postoffice sufficient for his temporary wants. Third Assistant Postmaster General Hazen, who haa just returned from Castleton to investigate the cause of the delay, says he hopes to be able to supply all requisitions of postmasters within a few days. The progress and character of the work being done by the new contractor, is not, he says, entirely satisfactory to the postmaster general. Should the cards, however, not come up to the contract standard, the government has ample remedy, as under the contract the postmaster general can pay for them what he pleases. He also has a remedy for delay. Mr. Hazen says the contractor promises when he does get fairly to work to turn out 1,500,000 cards per day, which, if he begins soon, will avert the threatened postal card famine.

A MASSACHUSETTS MURDER.

Wealthy Banker Shot In a Dispute Over Telephone Property. LAWRENCE, Mass., August 27.—Albert D. Swan, one of the most prominent and wealthiest citizens here, was shot in the back of the head and killed by Henry E. Gpodwin at 10:30 this morning. Goodwin gave himself up. Goodwin entered the office of the Sprague Manufacturing company, of which Mr. Swan-was treasurer, about 10 o'clock, President Coburn •and the latter being in the office at the time. Goodwin has been employed by the Molecular TelephoneJJcompany of New York, of which Swan was general manager, and came to the office to claim several thousand dollars which, he said, were due him Irom the company. After a brief discussion Goodwin drew a revolver, 32-calibre, took deliberate aim and shot Swan in the back of the head. Swan reeled and fell to the floor 'dead. Goodwin then stepped to the telephone and notified the police stasion to send an officer to arrest him. ITe stated that Swan had robbed him of all he had and there was a period in a man's life when he could stand no more. He had reached that point and went to the mill to kill Swan, and was willing to stand the consequences. He started the telephone business and later sold out to

Swan and his partner. He then went to South America, as manager of the Bell telephone system at Buenos Ay res. He returned two years ago, and has lately been trying to establish the Mulecular system in Cleveland. He returned from Chicago but three days ago. Mr. Swan was a prominent banker of this state and New York, and was universally esteemed.

Wishes Curiously Gratified. Presbyterian Monthly. During the illness of Mrs. Spurgeon, before Mr. Spurgeon lfeft her room tor the journey he was contemplating, she remarked that she hoped he would not be annoyed with her for telling him what had been passing through her mind. She made him, however, promise that he would not try to procure the objects for which she had beeu longing. She then told him she had been wishing for a piping bulfinch and an onyx ring. Of course Mr. Spurgeon expressed his willingness to get both, but she held him to his promise. He had to make a sick call on Ids way to the station, as well as call at the Tabernacle. Shortly after reaching the sick person's house, the mother of the patient, to his amazement, asked Mr. Spurgeon if Mrs. S. would like a piping bulfinch that they had one, but that its music was trying on the invalid, and they would gladly part with it to one who would give it the requisite care. He then made his call at the tabernacle, and, after reading a voluminous correspondence, came at last to a letter and a parcel underlying the other letters. The letter was from a lady unknown to him, who had received benefit from his services in the tabernacle, and as a slight token of her appreciation of these services asked his acceptance of the inclosed onyx ring, necklet and bracelet, for which she had no further use. Jis intensified his surprise and he hastened home with what hat, been so strangely sent, went up into his wife's sick-room, and placed the objects she bad longed for before her. She met him with a look of pained reproach, as 11 he had allowed his regard to override his promise, but when he detailed the true circumstances of the case she was filled with surprise, and asked Mr. Spurgeon what he thought of it? His reply was characteristic: "I think you are one of your Heavenly Father's spoiled children, and He just gives you whatever you ask for."

MorS than a century ago foreigners complained of the dangers of pedestnanisni in' Paris, and the evil, so far from diminishing, is increasing, for of late vears the police .have lost all influence. Attacked individually by scurrillous

newspapers, and in a mass.by municipal councillors, they are afraid" of showing

zeal, and strive to efface themselves as much as possible. They have no control over street traffic. A policeman, for instance, is stationed at the intersection of the Opera square and the Boulevard, but he calmly rses cabs and carria-es pd£3 by the crossing at full speed, or draw up and intercept the crossing. When it rains and when the carriage traffic increases, ar.d the dangers of pedestrians also, he takes shelter under the eaves of the houses. As for stopping vehicles to allow pedestrians to cross, such a thing is scarcely to be noticed opce a year.

"I 6tart for Washington at 10 o'clock to-morrow to make my report," he said. "What I shall do after that I can not say, my case is now in the hands of the state department. I was ordered to report in Washington. as there was no reason for my remaining longer abrerad. I did not visit either Rome or Vienna." "What reason did Austria give for declining to receive you?" asked the reporter. "I can not answer that question for the reason that it is something the state department may not wish to make public. I will say this,-however I have no idea at present of resigning my commission as minister to Austria. The state department must first settle' the status of the case and the Austrian government must be forced to put itself on record. The point is ast here: Had Austria assigned no reason, but simply said, 'We refuse' to receive this man,' it would have been all right and that would have ended the matter. Now Austria has given reasons, but they are not reputable—they are frivolous. They are an affront to this people—reasons which in the nineteenth century are an afiront to the common stftise of jpankind. With Italy the case is different. The reason given by that government appealed to me as having in it something of force, and as I could not well do anything that might embarrass my own government by forcing an issue, I of course resigned as soon as the re as an was made known to me. It certainly would have been unpleasant for King Humbert to receive as minister of this government a man who "had so severely denounced his father. The reasons given by Austria, on the contrary, are such as cannot commend themselves to any thinking community, especially in this day and age." "It has been generally understood in this country that Austria's refusal was based on the fact that your wif? is a

DES MOINES, Iowa, August 27.—The republican 6tate convention reassembled at 9 o'clock this morning. Hon. P. M. Sutton was elected permanent chairman, who made a speech urging the solidification of the party. An informal ballot for governor was taken, resulting: Larabee, 708 Hull, 374 necessary to a choice, 543. Larabee was declared the nominee by acclamation. The^ ballot for lieutenant governor resulted in a unanimous vote for Hull. For Supreme court judge, the incumbent, Judge .Beck, was •enominated. The committee on resolutions then reported the platform which was adopted. The minority report on the temperance question favoring local option for counties where prohibition was enforced was lost by a vote of 821 to 250. Senator Larabee was introduced and accepted the nomination. The platform declares that the issues growing out of"the war for the union can never be settled until settled right, and says by wronging the colored voters the southern men exercise more than their share of political power. This crime against ballots is also a menace against free labor Cleveland's diplomatic apointments show the adhesion of the democratic party to the doctrine of state rights condemns his removal of crippled nnion soldiers from office demands the modification of the pension laws by beginning the payment from the date of disability, and the increase of widows' pensions condemns the president's removal of medical pension examinere who had been the friends of soldiers, and his appointment of men who generally opposed the war.

NEW YORK. N. Y., August 27.—Secretary Turner, of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, said this forenoon that the members of the board would 11tain their heatlquartert at the Astor house until to-morrow "evening. They expect by that time to recoive an answer from A. A. Talmadge as to whether or not the company will reinstate the Knights of Labor discharged on June lotli last. Mr. Turner said that the executive board had not made any demand for the discharge of those men who had been employed in the places of the Knights oi

Labor men. They simply requested that the discharged men be reinstated. The members of the executive board of the K. of L. were sent for this afternoon bv Manager Talmadge. Turner and Hughes responded, and they were told, in answer to their demand made at Wednesday's talk, that the officials were unable yet to state how many men wouia

be hired in the Wabash shops. Talmadre Baid he would go to St. Louis and talk with the officials there, and then, on Thursday of next week, give a definite reply as to the reinstatement of men. "The interview was very satisfac tory," said Secretary Turner, when it was ended, and then added, "of course there is not work enough for all the discharged men but all that can .be employed will be taken baok. I think matters are practically adjusted."

CHINESE EMIGRATION,

The Government of Chlha Not Evading tbe Treaty -Where the Fault ties. NEW YORK, August 27.—John Russell Young, ex-minister to China, in an interview yesterday said: "The emigration from. China comes from one point alone—Canton. Canton is a city of a million people, the center of a vast province. The most southern port in China, within seven hours of Canton by river, is Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a British settlement as much under the British flag as Cork or Liverpool. All the traffic in the way of emigration to America comes from Hong Kong, mainly through English houses. There is no stipulation or treaty, and there can be none to justify us in asking the Chinese to prevent Chinamen from going from Canton to Hong Kong. Once there they are free from Chinese influence. If the American government wishes to reach the emigration question, it will have to go to Lord Salisbury and ask him to so instruct his government in Hong Kong that there may be no emigration. The British governorgeneral at Hcng Kong, whom I know very well, and whose guest I have been, said he was perfectly willing, if the American government wished it, to stop the emigration, but I had no instructions. There is nothing in the record to show that Chir.a has ever endeavored to evade the treaty. On the contrary, she has enforced it even more stringently than any request of ours calls for. The Chinese do not care for the emigration they would stop the whole thing to-morrow. They do not, of course, like the idea of other nationalities being accepted in America and they being excluded, but that is a question of pride on their part."

A Western Volcano.

Virginia City Chronicle. A volcano has broken forth in the mountains sixty miles southwest of Bishop creek. A party of frightened sheep herders rode into C&ndelaria a fewdays ago covered with duist and ashes, and numerous holes burnt in their clothing. They reported that on Saturday they were startled by an unusual rumbling noise and trembling of the ground. At first they mistook the noise and rumble for thunder, but it was quickly followed by a tremendous explosion, and on looking up they were appalled at seeing a mountain not far away belching forth a column of flames and smoke several feet in height. The air was soon filled with fiery cinders and hot ashes, which camc down upon them in clouds. The affrighted men immediately drove their sheep to a place of safety, and rode to the nearest settlement with the startling news. Several exploring parties have gone_ to the scene of eruptioni A bright jjii glow noticed in the horizon at Virgin' City for several nights is believed to nave been caused by the eruption.

Killed in a Sham Battle.

LA. SALLE, Ills., August 27.—Private A.Purdie, of the Fourth regiment of the Illinois National Guard, wounded in the face during a sham battle at the state encampment, near Ottawa, two weeks ago, died here to-day from lockjaw, induced by his injuries. Great indignation exists againat the First Illinois Cavalry regiment which is held responsible for the death. Statements were publicly made after the battle that the cavalry had a grudge against certain other regiments and had gone into the fight with a preconcerted design of maining as many of its opponents as 'possible. The vicious fighting and the number of casualties that characterized the battle excited much comment at the time. The coroner will hold an inquest to-morrow, and if the guilty persons can be determined their arrest will be made at once.

The Cold Wave and the Crops. CHICAGO, 111., August 27.—The Times' summary of reports from crop correspondents in the northwest, regarding the cold snap, says that light frosts are reported from various points in Wisconsin and Iowa', the damage to crops being inconsiderable. The weather is exceptionally cold for the season throughout the west.

STAUNTON, Va., August 27.—There was a heavy frost here last night. Gardens and late corn were badly damaged.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa., August 27.—A light frost is reported this morning in various parts of the county, but not enough to damage vegetation seriously. Slight flurries of snow fell here yesterday.

Last evening Samuel C. Hannum, who is well known in Terre Haute as the former engineer of No. 2 engine, was'sitting, with members of the two's in front of their engine house on Farrington street, when h'e was seen to turn pale and press his hsxid to the region of the heart When told that he was looking ill, he replied, "boys I am not well." "Won't you read the evening paper a while, Coop?" asked one of the firemen. "I'm afraid I couldn't see it," answered Hannum and immediately fell forward off his chair, on his knees. He was carried into the engine houstf and placed on a bed. A physician was summoned who directed that Hannnm be at once removed to his residence, 924 south Second street. He remained wholly unconscious to the moment of his death which occurred at 8 o'clock. Deceased leaves a wife and three children.

How Old Sol Used to Shine.

Washington Star. In 1303 and 1304 the Rliind, Loire and Seine ran dry. The heat in several provinces during the summer of 1705 was equal to that in a glass furnace. Meat could be cooked by merely exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dare venture out between noon and four m.'

In 1817 many shops had to close the theaters never opened their doors for three months. Not a drop of water fell during six months.

In 1773 the thermometer rose to 118 degrees. In 1779 the heat at Bologna was so great that a great number of people wene stifled. There was not sufficiemt air for the breath, and people had to take refuge under the ground.

In July, 1793, the heat again became intolerable. Vegetables were burned up and fruit dried upon the trees. The fur-

An eye-witness of the whole pageant at Kremsier asserts that despite the efforts to make it appear that no dread of personal danger to the czar was entertained, Alexander was really alert and uneasy, and added to the secret precaution arranged for his safety more than one device of his own. He was pale and care-worn during his entire stay, and he himself suggested several precautions to the Austrian authorities. A few unimportant arrests were made during his stay. The czar owns a large mastiff, of uncommon. strength and intelligence. The mastiff has been carefully trained as a body guard, and as is well known in St. Petersburg and Moscow, watches beside his master's couch every night. The dog accompanied the czar to and from Kremsier.
