ONE DAY’S DARK LIST.

53 5 CHICAGO’S SUNDAY RECORD OF FATAL ACCIDENTS^ Enormous Business for Thia Time of Year Marauding Indians Stir Up Trouble—Uncle Sana Will Have a Fine Fleet of Yachts. Long List of Casualties. There was an unusual number of fatalities and serious accidents in and near Chicago Sunday. Seven people were killed in a variety of accidents and several of the nine injured will die as a result of injuries received. The deadly trolley got in its work as usual and helped swell the list of killed and injured. There were one or two suicides and several accidental drownings. Probably the most pathetic of the fatalities was the drowning of two brothers, John and Andrew IJpner, aged 17 and 15 respectively, in Lake Calumet. They went there to catch fish, but, growing tired of the sport, decided to take a swim. While in the water a short distance from their boat oneof the bays was taken with a cramp. He called for help and his brother tried to save him. An hour afterward both bodies were recovered tightly clasped in each other's embrace. The boys’ mother is prostrated with grief.

Dun’s Weekly Review, R. D. Dun &,Co.’s weekly review of trade says: “A business flood so strong and rapid that the conservative fear it may .do harm is out of season in July. 'But the seasona. this year lap over and crowd each • other. May frosts and frights, it is now evident, kept back much business that would naturally have been finished before midsummer, and the delayed accumulation of one season gets in tlie way of efforts to begin another on tiijkp. But the volume of business, however, it may be assured, is remarkably large for the month, even for a good year. The exaggerated fears about crops have passed, the syndicate is believed both able and determined to protect the treasury, and the time draws near when the marketing of new crops will turn into a national balance if speculation does not hinder. The week lias been notable for a sensational full in wheat of 8 cents in two days, followed by recovery of 5 cents, though neither affords any interpretation of the quite disregarded Government report. The sudden drop in prices was the result of speculative rather than commercial influences, though exports not half as large as last year, 2,097,045 bushels (flour included) from Atlantic ports for two weeks of July, against 4,227,915 last year, had their effect, as well as Western recipts of 1,937,474 bushels, against 2,150,91 S last year.” Fight in Prospect. War between the settlers of Jackson Hole, Fremont County, iff; Wyoming, and the Bannock Indians is imminent. The dispute has already reached the stage where one of the Indians has been killed and several others imprisoned, and their friends are threatening revenge. The trouble was occasioned by the Indians from Idaho, who, finding game scarce in their own country, organized a marauding expedition into Wyoming.
