A Sad Misfortune.
Little Robert Hell met with a very
painful and probably serious acci
dent at the high uchool this morn
ing. He was in the act of
playfully sliding down the stair
railing, and, losing his balance, he
fell violently to the floor, a distance
of thirty-four feet. He was imme
diately picked up by Professor
McClelland and foand to be un
conscious. He was at once con
veyed to the office of Dr. Cook, and
upon examination it was discov
ered that hia left arm was fractured
immediately above the .wrist and
hia left ankle fractured. He also
Buffers from an abrasion on the
forehead and a bruised back. It is
also probable that lie sustained in
ternal injuries, though Dr. Cook ex
presses an opinion to the contrary.
It indeed appears miraculous
that he should escape from such a
fall without sustaining greater in
juries. It was evident, however,
from the boot marks upon the floor
that he lit mainly upon his feet,
which ecrvered to ward off the
force of the fall. The accident is
to be deeply regretted and all will
cherish the hope that the little
fellow will ultimately regain hia
former strength.

NO COAL ATCLENWOOO.
Unfortunate Iowa Children Exposed
to the Danger of Cold Weather.
The Institution for Feeble Minded
Children located at Glenwood, la.,
shelters within its benevolent walls
a community of over 500 souls. A
few of these are officers and em
ployes, adults iu the full possession
of their mental and physical
powers, but the great majority are
children in the various stages of
helplessness bordering on imbecil
ity. For neaaly a month past this piti
able mass of dependent humanity
has been on the verge of a famine.
There has been no lack of food,
but the supply of coal was cut off
four weeks ago, and the institution
has been threatened with distress
of a most serious kind.
During the greaterpart of Decem
ber the fires were feil with wood
supplied by the fanners living
near Glenwood. Had the weather
been severe and the roads impass
able the consciences to this depen
dent community might have been
disastrous. The officers of the in
stitution admit that it has beeu
threatened with serious danger dur
ing this peculiar state of a (fairs,
mid that danger has only been
averted by in ild weather and good
roads.
It is not possible with the infor
mation at hand to fix the responsi
bility fortius remaikable condition
of alVairs, but it seems to lie be
tween rival coal companies and
competing railroads.
For several years the White Mreasl
Coal Company, of Oltuiuwa, has
had the contract, but last full bids
were called for and the contract was
awarded to the Carbon Coal Com
pany, of Council HI tiffs.
It also seems that a number of
men prominently connected with
C. H. & J. are also largely interested
in the White Hreast Coal mines and
it is insinuated that they rre using
their power and influence with the
railroad to play into the hands of the
coal company. When the coal came
from the White Hreast mines it was
hauled by the C. B. & Q. The Car
bon Coal Company have been get
ting their coal from the Kansas and
Texas Coal Company, who have
mines in northern Missouri and
shipping it over the Wabash to
Malvern, Iowa where it was turned
over to the Q., but they refuse d to
haul it to Glenwood without it was
transferred from a Wabash car to a
C. B. &Q. as they claim the Wa
bash cars could not stand the trip
from Malvern, to Glenwood aa there
is a heavy grade between the two
towns and an imperfect car might
cans? great danger.

and oblige, Very respectfully,

The motion to quash service in
the contest case of Edton vs. Tighe
was argued in county court this
forenoon and Judge Ramsey has
taken the matter under advisement
and will probably render a decision
in a few days in both cases.
"Inaida Information" Faulty.
The supreme court room j ester
day was packed with a throng ex
pecting to hear Chief Justice Fuller
deliver an opinion in the case of
Hoyd vs. Thayer. Hut the crowd
was disappointed. The justices
occupied an hour and one-half iu
delivering opinions, many of which j
were of the utmost importance, but
in mine of which the crowd seemed
to take nny interest. Chief Justice
Fuller always ren lers his opinions
after the other juslics have sub
mitted theirs, consequently no one
expected to hear from the chief
justice until all-the rest of the de
cisions had beeu rendered.
There seems to be no question,
however, but that the court has
agreed upon a verdict and that the
report sent out last Friday night to
the effect that that decision will be
in favor of Hoyd is correct. It is
believed here that the decision
would have been rendered jester
day but for the premature publica
tion. The court is anxious lo find
out the location of the leak nud'
it may be that the whole matter
will be delayed until this has been
definitely settled. In the meantime
if the decision is in favor of Mr.
Hoyd the sale of the news in ad
vance will act simply to keep Gov
ernor Thayer in the chair for a
week or two longer.
In this connection it will be
interesting to know, however, that
inquiry into Ihe matter to-day
developed the fact that only cis;!il
justices sat iu the hearing of the
case, Justice Hradley being absent
on account of illness. The prema
ture announcement that the court
had decided the case in favor of
Hoyd by a vote of six to three can
not be correct, therefore, so far as
respects the majority by which the
decision was alleged to have been
reached. The justices, of course,
would say nothing whalevei as to
the case in advance of the an
nouncement from the bench of the
decision. '
A curious coincidence iu connec
tion with the publication iu ad
vance of what the decision of the
court would be, and the respective
number of justices in favor of Hoyd
and in favor of Thayer, developed
in the court yesterday. The case of
the Northern Pacific against Hiram
Dustiti, prosecuting attorney' of
Yakima county, Washington, was
decided to-day by the vote which
the publication referred to alleged
to be the decision of the justices in
the Hoyd-Thayer case. In this case
the court reversed the decision of
the state (then territorial) court, as
would be the result if Hoyd wins
the suit. Whether or not some
chance utterance with respect to
this case was overheard and mis
taken for an expression with regard
to the Nebraska governorship con
test, perhaps will never be known.
A Pleaaant Party.
A progressive high five party was

SPECIAL MARKET LETTER,
W. C, Tress & Co., flankers tc Commis
sion Merchants, No. 2 and 4 Sherm.ia
Street, Chicago, in their last sjveial mar
ket letter say: Seldom his a new year
been ushered in under more favorable con
ditions for the material prosperity of our
country than the one which, wiih its un
solved problems, lies before us. While
other countries sutler from famine, finan
cial distrust, monetary stringency, and tear
of the dos of war, to us have bd.n vouch
safed abundant crops, undisturbed confi
dence, a plethora of money, and a sense of
peace and security enjoyed by no other
nation on the face ot tne earth The
abundance of money and th'i fueling of
confidence and security niunifeU in our
financial and commercial relations are
chiefly attributable, to the uratifyinn results
of the harvest of 1S91, and the i'c. l!ent
foreign demand for our surplus (train,
which, for Wheat, has been unprecedented
the exports of tli.il cereal eiih r as f!tain or
Hour for the first half of the crop year,
anK""e,itin il'j.ooo.ikk) bushels. With
but one.-ti.uf of tho crop year Rone, the
balance of trade in our lavor, and tlio re
quirements of Kiirope. necesv Lilian tlin
purchasing of en iriiious quantities of
American urain before another tiarve.Nl,
the pr. spf.ct of a large ini rease in our
available binds in tlv near fiitura nn plitfl
flattering, for the balance due us must be
liquidated bv tho return of securities or by
the remittance of cold. Foti'i.iu holders
of American slocks nnd bunds will be loath
to part with them while tliey promise to
enhance in value and inlrrest and satis
factory dividends arc a. silted, and as funds
have already been placed abroad to meet
the January fn it coupons and interest, tho
influx of e i!d cannot much loit;;er lie re
tarded. The most unpromising feature in
the existing conditions is thn state of the
Krowinn Winter Wheat, which, dnrini? the
major portion of its existence, has been
subject to such unfavot ibl-i environments
that the outlook for an ;ivera;; crop is not
a ssn i ine SliDiild farther damage, siilficiuut
to av.uie bul an indillerent yield, be sus
tained, the (fleet on general business
and railway stocks and bonds would lie
come apparent din inn the last 'la'f ' "le
year, although it would, doubtless, during
tin' first half, stimulate i eculatioti in erain
nnd provisions, and by enhancing the value
of our exportable surplus, nuement the al
ready abundant supply of money. The
trade in wheat since our last weekly letter,
ln' h at home and abroad, has been char
acterized by the usual holiday dullness,
although the tenor of outside advices has
been encouraging. The amount put
afloat by all countries for Western Europe,
the amount on ocean passage, the farmers'
deliveries in the United Kingdom, and the
English visible supply have all shown a
marked decrease, while the shipments from
India, which for several weeks have ex
ceeded expectations, have decreased in
volume sulhcient to render them infor
midahle. Notwithstanding the holiday
character of business, the demand at the
seaboard for exportation has been quite
liberal and is apparently again increasing.
The movement Iroin first hands seems to
be abating if Minneapolis and Duluth re
ceipts be a guage of the volume from this
source.
Corn is gradually assuming a more
natural position, there being less interest
manifested in the near futures, which,
owing to the rather small percentage of
contract grain in current receipts, hold
relatively higher than May. Stocks are
increasing, and were it not for the con-,
tinued scarcity of can which hampers the
corn trade more than anything else, the
movement in and out would be quite large.
It is claimed, however, that the recent re
duction in price at country stations has
curtailed farmers' deliveries.
Oats while influenced to some extent by
the fluctuations in corn, seem inclined to
show independence in cotis'ipience of the
decrease in stocks and an unabated export
demand.
In provisions the trade has apparently
drifted into the hands of the packers, who,
in consequence of the amount of manufact
ured product liMld by them, may now be
willing to permit the market to advance.
Receipts of hugs continue to surprise the
trade, proving large when a decrease is ex
pected and vice versa. In commenting on
the movement, the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent says: "Should values of corn weaken
to nny notable degree, anil prices of hog
assume a nine encouraging promise, the
eff ;:t would probably be to check the hur
rying of liogs into market in most regions.
At seven bushels of corn as the equivalent
of 100 pounds live weight of hnjs, it is
apparent that current values furnish a
satisfactory premium for feeding hogs.
The modern bred animal, wiih such fa
vorable weather as has been experienced
this season, should gain too pounds from
the equivalent of seven or seven and a half
bushels of merchantable corn. The old
lan was to reckon ten bushels, and this is
still the basis of calculation to a great ex
tent, but is deceptive.'1
