CHICAGO'S NEW BOARD ROOM

Formal Opening of the New Building. CHICAGO, April 29.—The splendid structure erected for the Chicago Board of Trade at a cost of 82,000.000 was formally dedicated this morning. The exercises were very simple in their character and partook of the form of addresses with orchestral music. The day was perfect and long before the beginning of the formal program large crowds were about the building or proceeding up the broad stairway into the main hall or trading room—the largest one employed for the purpose in the world. Here and in the gallaries was assembled an audience of about 5.000. Nearly every exchange in the United States was represented in the audience, including delegates from England and California. At 10 o'clock Rev. Clinton Locke, of this city, began with prayer and was followed by John R. Bensley, chairman of the building committee, who formally turned over the keys of the building to E. Nelson Blake, president of the board, who responded in a short speech. The chief address was then made by Emory A. Storrs, who was followed in short speeches by the delegates.

ECKARD FOUND.

A Postmortem Examination Shows He Might Have Reoeived a Blow.

His Brother-in law, Shoemaker Helt, Suddenly Leaves the City..

,.V

a 's daily.

On the morning of the 11th ot March a pony partly hitched to a butcher's wagon was found standing in the water at the south side of the trestle between this city and Maeksville. The pony and wagon were identified as the property of Joseph Eckard, a butcher living in St Mary's, who had been in this city the night before and who was last known to be in the company of his brother(-in-law, Joseph Helt, a shoemaker working for Merring on Ohio street The circumstances surrounding the affair were such as to warrant the belief that Eckard had been drowned. Search was made for the body, but it could not be. found. Then reports were circulated that Eckard had stolen some hogs from the Sisters of Providence at St Mary's and that he ran away in order to escape arrest, leaving his pony and wagon at the trestle as a blind. Several weeks after his disappearance a report reached police headquarters, originating with relatives of Eckard, that he had been heard from and that he was butchering down at Little Rock, Ark. Nothing more was therefore thought of it

A week after Eckard's mysterious disappearance the brother-in-law Helt suddenly left the city and up to this date his wife has not heard a word from him. She has a babe just a year old. Helt was seen in St Louis two days after leaving here. Helt's theory of the disappearance had been that Eckard being somewhat intoxicated had gone to sleep on the way home and had accidentally tumbled into the water. Persons who saw Eckard during the evening said he had thirty or forty dollars in his possession.

Yesterday afternoon while some boys were fishing on the north side of the trestle they discovered the body of a man in the water. When they first caught it they thought it was a log. With assistance the body was taken to shore. The Sheriff and Coroner were summoned and when those officials and Undertaker Katzenbach appeared the body was conveyed in the letter's wagon to the city. The body was oovered with dirt and until it was washed hardly a feature could be be recognized. It was clad in comfortable clothing and wore an overcoat

In the back yard of Undertaker Katzenbach's establishment the body was washed. Then without any difficulty it was recognized as Eckar&T: In the

Soorhead

ickets were found 36.30 in money. Dr. was summoned 'and it was his intention to hold a post mortem at that time, but it was deemed best to await daylight, when a more satisfactory examination could be made. Last night the body was transferred to the vault in the cemetery. The body, as might well be judged by its long stay in the water, was in a fearful condition and rapidly decomposed as it reached air.

The Coroner and Dr. Moorhead certainly had no pleasant task to perform this morning. The body was taken out of the receiving vault and placed on the grass on the west side of the vault. The body, which last night had a little natural color left, was now turned green and the smell that issued from it was sickening. The post mortem conducted by Dr. Moorhead was attended with all these unpleasant circumstances. The doctor found the left side of the face and head badly bruised and the brain in a condition corresponding, with venous blood showing congestion of the brain on that side. This condition was produced before death and could have been caused by a blow or a heavy fall. The skull was not fractured, but a blow could produce this condition without cracking the skull. The right side of the head and brain was in a comparatively healthy state and no such bruises or condition of the blood was found. The body was then boxed up and buried immediately.

A reporter visited Merring's shoe shop, where Helt worked, and learned the following facts: Helt, Eckard and Merring ate supper together in a restaurant that night Helt and Eckard then went off together, the latter ostensibly to go home. About 10 o'clock Helt returned and said he went with Eckard as far as the bridge. Next morning Helt said Eckard wanted him to go home with him and he was glad he didn't, as they might say he had made away with him. Merring re)onded that if he (Helt) was ong it probably wouldn't have happened. A week afterward Helt unceremoniously left his wife and child and nothing has been heard from him since. He was a stout German and drank lots of beer. Mr. Merring said Eckard was in splendid humor that night and he ridiculed the idea that it was an accident or that he committed suicide. He said Eckard and Helt very often quarreled and frequently did not speak to each other for days. Superintendent Vandever said to a GAZETTE writer when questioned: "I think Eckard's relatives got away with him. I am of the opinion that the shoemaker Helt knows too much about the affair."

The Coroner proceeded to take testimony in the case at 2 o'clock this afternoon. It will probably not be finished before tomorrow.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

Their Relations More Strained. LONDON, April 29.—It was during the meeting at Rawal Pindi that the Ameer told Earl Dufferin that though he regarded the occupation of Penjdeh of little consequence yet he attached the greatest importance to the retention of Marauckek, which is half way between Penjdeh and Bala Murghab. Once the Russians gain that point they will be able to threaten Balkhand and out off communication with Cabul. The latest Russian advance is expected to bring the question to a crisis. The current opinion is that Russia is really preparing for war much more rapidly than she appears to be, the Russian papers being warned to secrecy.

It is said that the Khan of Bokhara earnestly warned the Ameer not to neglect Cabul and Balk while taking steps to protect Herat, as the Russian army was massing in Turkestan near Samarac and with the intention of marching on Balkhand and proclaiming Ayoub Khan Ameer, while the Afghan army was en gaged at Herat. His letter to the Ameer concludes: "I know for certain that the Russians intend not to march beyond Herat, but will cut off your line of retreat to Oubul and England's line of retreat to Candahar."

In the House of Commons today Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, read telegram from Gen. Sir Peter Lumsden dated at Tirpul, April 23d. This telegram mentions that the Governor of Herat had received a report that the Russian troops had advanced upon Marauchek. Lord Edmund also said that Gen. Lumsden himself in a telegram of April 25th incidentally speaks of the recent occupation of Marauchek by the Russians.

The Duke of Cambridge, Commander in Chief of the Army, today, inspected the troops at Aldershot that are under orders for active service in case of war.

The speech of Mr. Gladstone in the House of Commons on Monday upon the vote of credit of $55,000,000 was received with profound interest throughout all Europe and was published in full in all newspapers. It has dispelled any idea that may have been entertained heretofore that England will make concessions to Russia. The general opinion of the press is that the speech makes war certain. The newspapers are filled with discussions of the probable alliances the respective belligerents may form in event of the war now thought so near at hand, not being confined to Asia, but being extended to Europe.

The steel man of war Home was launched at Pembroke in Wales yesterday. This new addition to the British navy carries ten guns and will have crew of 445 men. The Home is a twin ^rew, steel armor plated, barbette ship of 6,700 tons burden and 7,500 horse power. -j 'JIR* NEUTRALITY.

He was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1839, practiced law two years in his native State, when he emigrated to Indiana and located at Evansville. In 1846 he was elected Representative in the Legislature and served one term. Seven years later he was elected a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and after serving eighteen months resigned. In 1856 he was nominated for the offiice of lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Senator Morton, but was defeated. In'1861 he was commissioned Colonel of the First Cavalry, Twenty-eighth Regiment Indiana Volunteers, in which capacity he served for three years in the states of Missouri, Arkansas and Missisfippi. In 1863 he received an order to report to the Provost Marshal in this city, and upon doing so was detailed Assistant Provost Marshal for the State of Indiana. He continued in this service until August, 1864, when he was relieved at his own request, and shortly after he and his regiment were mustered out of service. In 1864 he was placed upon the Gubernatorial ticket for the office of Lieutenant "Governor by the State Central Committer and wa3 elected. In February, 1867, Morton was elected to the Senate, and Mr. Baker assumed the duties of Governor. In 1868 he was renominated for the position and elected over Hon. thomas A. Hendricks by a majority of 961 votes. His administration is spoken of as upright, honest and conscientious, and after the term of his office expired he became a member of the law firm of Baker, Hord & Hendricks, and was a member up to the time of his death.

Mr. John W. Beem, of Marco, Green county, Ind., says: In the fall of 18751 was down with a terrible cough. Every medicine failed to give me relief ana the doctors said I had consumption. I was recommended to use Dr. Brunker's Bronchial Elixir. I bought one dollars worth and in lees than one week my cough entirely disappeared. It returned again in 1883, and nothing helped until I sent to Dr. Brunker for a one-half dozen bottles of the Bronchial Elixir, and three bottles cured me as sound as ever.

Mr. W. Hayward, merchant at Newburg, Clay county, Ind., writes: Send me four dozen of Brunker's Bronchial Elixir. We sell a great deal of it, and people say it is the best they ever used for coughs, and whooping coughs, etc., for children.
