Frankfort Crescent. For several days the Martin circuit court has been occupied hy the case of William Beck vs. the E. & R. railroad company. This case is the outgrowth of the killing of Edward G. Earl of Elnora, which occurred in April, 1893, while Mr. Earl was attempting to make a coupling.

Fankboner was seriously injured by an infuriated cow. For a few days the cow has been kept away from her calf and has been very uneasy.

She fell on her side, and before she could recover herself to get up the cow was on her, with her front knees resting on her stomach and chet.

Senator W. S. Haggard returned yesterday from a hasty trip through Wisconsin, where he visited the soldiers' homes at Waupaca and Milwaukee. The object of the visit was to secure data in regard to the homes to be used in the laudable effort that will be made in the coming legislature to secure state assistance in building up the proposed home on the West Side. Mr. Haggard is deeply interested in the matter and has devoted considerable time in preparing for a vigorous campaign. At Waupaca and Milwaukee he was treated with great consideration and every fact or pertinent point that bore on the question was freely furnished. On Dec. 19 a national conference of superintendents of soldiers' homes will be held in Milwaukee, nnd Mr. Haggard has been urged to attend. While the Journal differs with Mr. Haggard on many points it admires the pertinacity and vim with which he is working up the soldiers' home, and hopes that success will crown his efforts in this laudable and patriotic purpose of building a state home for the boys of '61-65. Lafayette Journal. Two divorces for a couple who have only once fcen married is a luxury that does not befall many people, but such is the case with William II. Matthews and Mrs. Minnlei Matthews. Mr. Matthews and Miss Minnie Bryant were married in Piqua, O., six years ago. This double life did not result according to expectations, and at last he left her. He came back to try this new life over again, but it did not work and he left for good. Later Matthews came to Muncie and has since been married to a woman with two children. Shortly after he left his first wife she became a moth r of a boy. She went to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Bryant, who reside In Fiqua, and they cared for the child . A few months ago Matthews went to Piqua, nnd with the assistance of a policeman he secured the boy, who is now five years old, and has since had him at his home. Yesterday William Brynnt and Mrs. Minnie Matthews arrived in the city with the Intention of securing the boy before they returned to Piqua, They secured the boy and took him to the police headquarters. Mr. Matthews was immediately notified nnd he filed a charge of child-stealing against Mr. Bryant. The affidavit was taken to Judge Behymer, but when Bryant consented to giving the child back to Matthews no warrant was issued. Last spring Mrs. Matthews applied for a divorce in the Miami county circuit court at Troy, O. On May 7 she was granted a divorce and given the custody of the child and a sufficient alimony to support the child. Matthews paid $1, and that was the extent of hi3 contributions toward supporting the child. During the spring Matthews also applied for a divorce, but in the Delaware circuit court. In the month of March he was granted a divorce and this time he was given the custody of the child. Now the question is, which decision shall stand good. Muncie News. Subscribers, Attention!

CHICAGO, Dec 10. The news In evidence today was all against the wheat bulls, but the uncertainty regarding the expected government report had a restraining Influence on sellers and Mayclosed but Me lower. May corn gained vc. May oats closed Ho higher and provisions finished lower all around. Wheat kept within a narrow range. It opened from c to Yc below its closing value on Saturday and did not change much afterward. It was in the main heavy all day, and there was much to make It so, Including an Increase of 1,200,000 bushels In the quantity of wheat and flour on ocean passage and a decline of from J,2d to Id in prices In Liverpool. Cables from London reported reselling of Russian wheat there at less than shippers' prices. A Liverpool firm cables that the reports from Argentine were- coming better as regards Its crop prospects. Financial ruin was reported to have overtaken the principal bank and nearly all the chief commercial houses in St. Johns, N. F. There was an Increase of 619.000 bushels in the visible supply of wheat here, and Minneapolis and Duluth got 790 car-loads toAy. compared with 746 cars on the corresponding day of last year. May wheat sold at 59o at the opening and did not go any lower than 59c during the day. The restraining influence on the bears was the government crop report due this afternoon. That was too uncertain a quantity to encourage much selling. The English visible supply was estimated to have decreased 1.387,000 bushels last week and New York exported Borne filling of orders there for cash wheat for export May closed at 594c. Corn was strong, considering the weak feeling which prevailed in wheat. The receipts are giving evidence of falling off. The weakness of the cash article was the only bearish feature in today's trade. The opening price for May was 49c and it sold at 49H49c. After that it worked upward and touched 60gc for a moment, but was down again at the close to 49 49 Tic. Oats were a shade firmer in sympithy with corn, and possibly influenced by a decrease of 594,000 bushels in the visible. May started at 35c, where it closed after V4c fluctuations. The provision market was heavy and prices ruled lower. The packers had products for sale when any one bid for them and sometimes did not wait for bids, but made offers, shading prices. Hog receipts were 44.000 head, and are estimated at 33,000 for tomorrow. Prices at the close showed the following losses for May delivery, compared with those on Saturday: May- pork, 22VC; lard, 12c; ribs, 12V2c.

Berry's Chicago advices say: After a weak opening the market developed lonw strength, and at one time looked as though the bottom had been reached f or a turn. News in general, however, has been against the price and as a consequence the range has been a narrow one. Weak foreign advices show increase of 1.200,000 bushels on passage and reported enormous Russian shipments for the week of 4.640.000 bu3heU against 2.800.0(0 the week before. Receipts in the northwest continue to exceed those of last year, which is not surpri.sng. There is no encouragement for country elevators to carry wheat while the cash article is selling so close to th? May delivery. Private advices indicate that the percentage left in farmers hands is very small. The increase of 207,0'V) bushels in local stocks was somewhat of a surprise, though the visible supply, showing an increase of 819,000 bushels, had little effect, being offset by the decrease of 1.387,000 bushels in English visible. Advices were current from Argentine saying harvesting is now in progress in the province and indicates the crop as not being abundant, but exceeds last year by 10 per cent. As in wheat, influences are against an advance on corn. Increase of 246,000 on passage and an enormous increase of 1,734.000 bushels in the visible, which is now 450.000 bushels larger than last year. The market, however, ruled remarkably firm on the wet weather. Trade not large. Hog product weak and lower, the selling pressure emanating from heavy receipts of hogs. The weakness seems to have been more in the January- option and packers have taken advantage of it to widen the spread a little. Market continued weak right up to the close. LOCAL Gn.lIX MARKET.
