Everything possible to alleviate the suffering of the little fellow was done, but the child died, his eyes having come out of their sockets. Evansville News-Journal. For forty years there has been a link missing from the chain of title to what Is known as Riverside. The link was found yesterday In the shape of a deed over fifty-one years old which had never been recorded. Many years ago John Collins owned this property, and then by some means one Thomas Collins, jr., became possessed of It. The records have been searched time and again for some evidence of the transfer of title to Thomas Collins, jr., from John Collins, but without avail. Yesterday David T. Haines submitted a lot of old papers to R. C. Griffith for his examination, and In running over them the latter found the missing link to the Riverside property. The deed, compared to those of today, is a curiosity. It is made in the old form when a wife had to waive her rights of dower and when a deed had to have a government stamp on it. It conveys twelve acres of ground for a consideration of $200 and ls signed by John and Cissandra Collins. Mr. Griffith caused the deed to be put on record, thus completing the chain of title. This is one of the longest periods known taken to file a de?d. It Is dated Jan. 11. 1843, and recorded Dec. 12, 1894, a lapse of fifty-one years, five months and one day. Muncle Newa See Page 5.

report; CHICAGO, Dec. 17. Wheat went down today under a heavy increase In the visible supply, May closing c lower. May corn closed 4c and May oats Mo lower, but provisions made slight gains. The wheit market at the opening showed a firmer tone than toward the close of Saturday's session. The short sellers ap-pe-arej to have discounted on Saturday an expected 1.500.000 bushels Increase In the visible and the better feeling among the longs was due to a decided falling off In the northwestern receipts and to encouraging cablegrams from Liverpool. There was 1 tendency toward a decline shortly after the start, when Minneapolis stocks were reported 845,000 bushels heavier thsn on Monday last or 100,000 bushels more than Saturday's advices from there had led to the expectation of. The slight dip In prices, however, was soon recovered from. The visible soon gave such evidence as Induced the expectation of & much heavier increase than had been looked for and that put an extinguisher upon what began, to assume the appearance of a very strong market. May, which opened at from bSitöc, had gradually Improved until it reached G9c, but as the huge Increase, which latterly was confirmed, began to deepen its shadow on tlw market the underlying bullish feeling gradually oozed out and about an hour from the end of the present price was down to 5sc. The later cable news was rather In favor of the bulls. Tno day's primary market receipt?) were also giving encouragement to holders. In the last half hour the effect cf a 2,000,000 Increase. In the visible at such a late season of the year wa.1 making Itself more effectually felt and the buying was overwhelmed by the selling orders; the price dropped for an instant to 5SVc and closed with sellers at SSUfii&S&c, Corn opened with sellers at a flhade under the price which was bid at the close on Siturday and It gradually sank until It had declined Vic under the highest price paid at the start. The wet weather which was to be of so much service to the bulls, had turned into dry frost. The receipts somewhat overran the Ostmiltes; the amount on ocean pass ige Increased 320,000 bushels last week and the visible supply showed an Increase of 1.170.00O, against 500.000 Increa-so on the year before. May opened at 50c, touched 49',, and closed at 49M-C. In oats the sympathy existing with the corn market was great. The elevator (inperns wer offering quite f reel v. May started at Z2(i 32, sold down to Z2t c, closing at that figure. Provisions were firm but the improvement In price which was established did not prodiict any activity in the trading. Instead of 47.000 hogs, as estimated on Saturday, only 37.000 were received. Pork, lard and ribs each ptarted at a good advance and held it very well in the face of weak w'aeat and corn markets. Estlmted receipts of hogs for tomorrow of only 27,000 helped In keeping1 the market firm. At the close the advances established were as fellows: In pork, 10c; in lard and ribs, each 5c.

News in general was of a bearish nature, trade not large. We still have as much faith in the situation as ever. The large part of this increase was in the northwest, owing to closing down of the mills. Consequently it is not phenomenal. Foreign advices som?what conflicting, though on the whole indifferent. There was an increase on passage of 1,250,000 bushels, while English visible showed an increase of 116,000, not large in view of large Baltic shipments. Eocal operators are inclined to bear the market. Clearances were quite free at 540,000 bufhels wheat and flour from Atlantic port., while primary receipts were only 451,000 bushels. Corn, the forepart of the session, was firm regardless of the increase on passuge and slightly increased local receipts. As the session advanced, however, selling became general and prices eased off on increase in visible and increase in local stocks with promise of more liberal receipts tomorrow. There was m apparent raiding, the decline being a natural one, the inlluences being against the price. Provisions showed a fair advance at the opening on light receipts of hogs. bing 10,000 under expectations. The liberal offerings of ribs the latter part of the session however, caused a tritle easier feeling, though closing quotations show 5(3 lOo advance. Market on hogs at the yards ruled firm and active at an advance of 515fi. LOCAL Git A IX MAHKET. INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. MONDAY EVENING. Dec. 17. Wheat Quiet; No. 2 red, 02c bid; No. 3 red, 49c.

'I he Cattle market opened tirm. The easier feeling developed noon after the opening was cau.?d by the discovery that the arrivals were something like 2,000 head greater than the first estimates made. The demand prevented declines, prices remaining about the same as on Saturday. There was an average advance In hojis of 10c per 100 pounds. The increase 1 firmness was a consequence of the fact that the arrivals fell below expectations. The gr?at bulk of the stuff was weighed at $4.25 '7 4.60. or at $1.2.Vf;4.45 for light and at $1.4i4.eo for medium and heavy. Prime heavy weights were quoted at" $l.ftV4.70. and prime asfortei llKhc at $4.4W;4.45. The sht-ep market opened decidedly stron?. Heavy sheep were only steady to perhaps a few c-nts higher In some eiises, but medium weight sheep and lambs of ail klnc.i sold from 10 tc 15c higher. The receipts were remarkably good as to quality, very little poor and common stuff being offered. Quotations ranged from $1.25 to $3.fi0 for poor to choice sheep, and $2.25"j 4.30 for lambs of similar grade. Itoeipts Cattle. 16.0UO; calves, 600; hogs, S6.0U); sheep, 15,000. NEW YORK. Dec. 17.
