CHICAGO , Jnn. 28. Traders nrc still ap
prehensive of Armour , nntl the unccrlnlnty
tegnrdlnir his position rntiscd un Hiisottlcd
aniJ weaker feeling. Wheat finally clo cil
tic iowor. All the other mnikpti followed
the downwnnl trnnd of wheat. Corn niul
oats closed Mn lower each , nnd pork , liir.l
nml ribs oil showed material declines.
Wheat nvcraRC'l wr-nkcr , nnd the trade
vns Black : few of the lilft operators were
Oolnc mueli , and what they rtM was on
both sides of the market. The Roncral
fccllpK of uncertainty ca'ised many to lenvo
the market entirely alone. It wan 13 n'A
Intents and purpoBru a wnltlns market. Old
operators were Inclined to look for a ROOU
break to follow the Into advance , wli'Ie '
nany framed to feel that the conditions
wurranled a continued upturn. Hut with
nil the Inaction thu maruol kept nervous
nnd BcnBlllve , and the trend was elosc.y
xvatchcd nnd quick turns \vci-o miule. Tie !
cables came lower , the result piohably of
tlui break heie ywitnnlay and a poor de
mand was reported abroad , wltii the north
western receipts fair. Hut the world's
shipments Inst week proved "mailer thun
expected , having been only .J(0ni/0 ( bu. . of
which America furnlrhcd nil but l.iMCWQ
bit ; the total b'-'ltiK 1,800,000 bu. less than
the estimated w pkly reipjlicmonta. nut
oven tlilR failed to fxcrt much Imltsoiioe , and
trade drnreed , whllo the foeilng rulcil
lii'ttvy. May opened unchanged at C4-tc.
sold early up to from til'&o ' to 04 0 , spilt
nnd fell to fi3'/c , ( hen up to C4'Jc , and at
noon .was file. The market turned very
wonk during theInst hour , mainly on Briiil-
ftropt's repot t , which save this wor.d'n tie-
crOafcla t week at only 32,000 bu. . wlieie
1.2.0 COO IU. decrease had bvon expected.
May sold off to fiJ'.ic ' , and closed at that
lltntrc
Corn opened firm. In sympathy with the
Btartlnfr strength oH wheat , tind weakened
later , when thn latter turned weak. The
business don * was only moderate. The
opening price for May was unchanged at
SO'.ic. Not much was disposed of t that ,
whfeh proved to be the highest price for
the dav. Fluctuations were very sllt'ht all
day , May finally closing at from 23Jc to
'
Oats slow nnd Inclined to weakness with
whfat , but there was nnly a sllpht de
cline. May rpened ' , te higher at 21VJc , and
Bold off to SOTsC , closing at that price.
Provisions' acted In a very contrary and
mvsterlotis manner. Armour & Co. were
said to have been the heavy sellers whose
operations were the principal source of the
apparent weakness. May pork started 74c !
lower at $10.sr , . ricc'lned to ilO.Ci ; a recovery
to JIO K2'A ' was followed by a fresh decline
to $10.G7 > 4" , an * It wound up at ? 10.7t ( , against
J10.r > 2'4 on the day before. Lard and ribs
closed ICc nnd 7fcc ! respectively below yes
terday's closing prices.

liberal. There were 1,671 hirnl , as against
SCO yesterday and 1,001 on Tuesday of last
week , The market , as whole , was lit
quite satisfactory shape , Irom the seller's
point of view.
Afler two days of very light receipts the
packers all wanted killing cattle , and the
buyers were out early looking for them.
For the first time In a long whllo they did
not wait for salesmen to Invite them to look
at their cattle , but they were around asking
to be shown something. The ntnikct , as a
whole , was fairly active at Btrong yester
day's prices , and" the offerings were mostly
taken early In the forenoon. Whllo there
were no very choice beeves to put a good
top on the market , there were quite a good
many very handy cattle. The most of them
sold Inside the range , $3.GOi3.)5. ! )
Hutchers' rtock was In fair supply , about
twenty-live .loads of cows and heifers being
on sale. The market opened strong , the
buyers wanting cattle to drive nt once , nnd
they paid good prices. As the more urgent
orders were filled the market cased off and
closed lower. Yesterday's sharp advance was
pretty much nil lost at the last and the
buyers wore talking about getting back to
last week's prices. The market was rea
sonably active until near the close , nnd the
offerings were practically all taken.
The fresh receipts of stockers nnd feeders
were not very large and there were not
many cattle In the hands of speculators , so
that the total offerings were far from being
large. The demand from the country was
fair nnd the feeling on the market was
somewhat Improved. Values were. In fact ,
strong , and the receivers of desirable cattle
had little trouble in disposing of their hold-

HOQS As wan the case with rattle , the re
ceipts of hogs were light for a Tuesday , In fact
very light to what they have been , Only llfty.
eight loads , or 3,759 head , were reported In Ih-j
yatdi , oa ogalnet C.335 on Tuesday of last week.
The market opened with good light and mixed
hetra In active demand on the part of rpeculu-
tors nnd buyers for the fresh meat trade. Kuch
hoga as nulled brought prices that were strong
to Go higher , that Is , J4.1W4.20 , The demand
on the part of the early buyers was limited , ami
their orders were teen filled , With that the
market came to a sudden standstill. The pack
ers did not want any hogs unless they could
get them at J4.0004.03 , and an salesmen Weie
not willing to clone out at any euch llsurcu ,
trading stopped altncwt entirely. The buyers
had the advantage of u lower provision market
and lower hog markets at other points , and
they reemed determined to hold out for a corresponding
spending concession here. The forenoon clipped
away with very llttlo belnir dona nnlde from the
early tnornlne trading" In light hogs. Represen

, W. Vn. , Jan. 28. Alex
Jones , n ncRro desperado , hoarded a pas
senger trnlu at Keystone last nlfilit. He was
under the Influence of whisky and very
quarrelsome. Conductor McCullough enme
through the cars nnd after demanding faro
from Jones , advised htm to bo quiet. The
ncRro became mueli Incensed , and when nil
attempt was innJo to eject 111 in he pulled
two revolvers and began firing promiscuously
through the train , which wai crowded with
passengers , He emptied both revolvers nnd
attempted to reload , but ttas overpowered
by the trainmen. When the smoke cleared
a\vny and the excitement abated It was dis
covered thntV. . II. Slrothcr , postmaster at
Klkhorn , was phot through the abdomen.
The wound resulted In almost Instant death.
Conductor McCullough was shot In the side ,
but not seriously Injured , and Peter Hlce ,
colored , was shot through the right breast ,
and probably fatally Injured.
Jones was Incnrrcrutcd In the Klkhorn Jail
to await the arrival of A train by which to
convey him to llmiUiigton for safekeeping.
The train arrived nt 2 a. m. and the olllccrs
ami the prisoner boarded It without molestn-
alVelch , fifteen mllca west of Keystone , and
had marched to Hcmphlll , n small station
one mlle west of Welch. The train was
flagged and the mob , numbering 100 men ,
boarded It and at the point of Winchesters
forced the olllccrs to release the prisoner.
Thsy dragged Jones a short distance to a
tree , where he was swung to a limb nnd his
body riddled with bullets , the following unto
being attached : "This deed wan done for
the purpose of example and warning to
negroes , EO beware. "
Some of the most prominent and Influential
citizens of this section composed the mob.
Jones , It Is alleged , had killed three men
prior to Ills last offense. Excitement Is at a
high pitch. An effort was made by Jones'
friends to res > cue him from the mob , but
It proved futile.
W. H. Strother was one of the best known
men In * this section and had numerous
friends. lie had Just succeeded 1'aul
Fletcher , who was killed a short time ago , a
postmaster at Elkliorn.

WICHITA , Kan. , Jan. 28. In the trial of
F. M. Williamson , charged with murdering
Henry II. Leon-ard to secure the latter's
llfo Insurance , Michael Jordan , an old sol
dier , took the stand and created a sensa
tion. He swore that .Williamson approached
him last October , a month bsfore the crlmo
was committed , and suggested that he knew
whore $500 could easily bo made. William
son told him that he knew of a woman
who hsld a $5,000 Insurance policy on the
life of Lonard and that she would glvo
$500 of the Insurance to the man that would
kill him. Williamson then told Jordan all
the details of the murderous scheme , and
Jordan repeated them In court. The theory
of the state has always been that William
son consented to a dlvorco from his wlf
tliat she might marry Leonard and under
agreement that they would afterwards kill
Leonard to get the Insurance on his life.
