Wnra had dropped back and Alexandria and - Autocrat and also appeared to weary of the rapid pace set by the fleet son of Falsetto. As they approached the turn , Covington was scon to give Macbeth more head , and the colt answered like the staying ono ho proved .liimsolf to be. By the time the lead of the long run homo wns reached ho hud collared Galliflt and was running easy. McCurty began to use the lash on the favorite , but ut the eighth polo it was evident to all that it was no use. Macbeth was running easy with Ills head up and without the least bit of urg ing. Galliflt was working hard , and as Macbeth pssscd under the wire a length in front of him ho looked severely punished and ready to quit. White was third , , two lengths behind Alexandria , n bnd fourth , Chovnlior fifth , Autocrat sixth and Ward seventh nnd last. The time was 'J :37 : * nnd compared favorably with that made in former Dorbys. Macbeth won in a gallop aud seemed ready to go another quarter.

A Switchman anil Kiiglnoor Arrcatcd Under Misapprehensions. The position of the "scab" railroad em ployes still continues to bo uncomfortable both through the strikers and the blunders of the thick-headed policemen. As n "scab" switchman named Huff was passing down Tenth street with his wife last evening , some B. & M. ox-switchmen who stood in front o a saloon , throw out some insulting and obscene - scene epithets. Ho took his wife ever to the depot and returned to the scene to settle the matter with the follows who had insulted his wife by using such language. The strikers did not care to tackle him , as they heard ho carried a revolver nnd would use it in nn cmcrt'cncy. They therefore tjomplaineu to a policeman that ho wns currying concealed weapons and caused his nrrcst. On being taken to the central station ho was searched nnd no deadly weapon qt any description whatever was found on his per son. Ho wus therefore released. Ha there upon swore out warrants for the arrest of three of the men who insulted him , and later ono of them , named II. J. Haverly , was ar rested. Still later in the evening ns II. S. Hudson , a "scab" engineer , passpd , into Heplinger's saloon , ho was followed by about two doun strikers. They made things pretty hot for him inside and ho loft. Outsldo ho was as saulted , his IIOSQ smashed and was knocked down. Olllcers Ward and Adums cfinonp nnd at seeing him covered with blood demanded nn oxplnniou. Ho wus still somowhut.duzcd with the blows ho hud received mid. could not even tell who had assaulted him. They , therefore , tumbled him into tlio , patrol wagon nnd hud him locked up at the central police station to answer the charge of being drunk and disorderly. The Human Wall of Tomlnr. J'uK Mall aazettei : Yesterday n largo assembly of anti quaries and"archaologiets took1 place at a spot in Aldorsgato , a little to the north from the now building1 ? of ' tlio general postolllco , for the purpose o'f in- Bnecting a portion of the old walls'of the city , close to what was in all probability their north western angle. Thin portion was flrst discovered and laid Tjaro in the early part of last autumn , when tno Bull and Mouth hotel and the French Proth ostant church were removed in order to make room for tlio intended additional buildings. The length of the wall now exposed to view is iv1 > out 100 feet , and the great'or purl o'f it stands about ten feet above the soil. This is largely medlamili but tlio portion below the surface soil measures about lifteon or sixteen feet , and'this is composed of stone * and bricks , laid in alternate strata , after the Roman fash-i ion so well known at Colchester and Lincoln , and also in other parts of the wallb of London , a * for instance in Bovis Marks and the Minorics. The material is Kentish rag , laid in regular , with line joints and other couiws of red tiles with wide joint * , . As this wall is actu ally on the boundary of the building site lately iirnuired by the authorities of St. MartinViij-Grand , there seemsto bo no necessity for its removal , and a gen eral opinion was expressed among the antiquaries present that the wall is too line a &pecimen of Roman work to bo wantonly destroyed. . . . .1 Changes are contemplated in the by-laws o tb < ?

There was frost last night here , but no serloun damage resulted. KEOKVK , la. . May 13. Tlio rlvor rose five inches hero to-day , and the water continues to spread over the low lands. In the Hooded districts and nt Alexandria , Mo. , the situa tion remains about ns It has been , no addi tional loss of property being reported. As all the railroad tracks In the city nro sub merged and little or no shipping Is being done. Extra precautions are being taken to prevent loss or damage In the lumber district. BcnuNOTox , la. , Mny 14. The river here lacks but a couple of Inches of the high water of 1881 , the biggest flood slnco 1851 , nnd may possibly coma quite to it although It enn not pass It. The rise Is coming very slow and will probably slacken during to night until It roaches n stand. There has been no serious damage at this point beyond the drowning of several small herds of cattle in the adjacent bottom lands of Illi nois und Iowa. Packets coiitinuo to make their trips but no raft boats are running 111 the swift current makes it impossible for them to handle their tows with any degree of safety , especially in passing bridges. The bottoms nro flooded and collars on Main street have from six to eighteen Inches of water which comes through the sowers. The Burlington Lumber company's mill has been closed by water and portions of its yards nro flooded. Tlio rolling mill has also been compelled to close down. The only road troubled is the "Lon Lino" on this side of tlio river near ICcokuk. The damage so far reported is small. At 8:30 : p. m. to-day the bridge gage ro- cordcd 97.10 , a ruiso of six inches in the last twenty-four hours. The river was then fifteen feet , seven nnd ono-fourth inches nbovo low water mark and still rising. At sunset it lacked only ono inch of the high water of 1831 and will pass It during the night. Tlio water has now backed up the sewers so as to enter the basements of sev eral wholesale houses near the lovco neces sitating the removal of the goods. No serious damage has been done in the city and none is anticipated , as advlcos from nbovo indicate that the water will not rise , much higher ?

Up to this evening there are four crevasses in the embankment and the entire lovco district will bo covered with water. The Stiy lovco gave away be tween Hannibal nuo , Cousiunaat noon to-day , and thirty-four miles bf the most productive farms in the Mississippi vnlloy will bo flooded. No lives have been lost , as the people ple living in the lowlands have been watching for a break for the past three days. Tlio river at this point rose seven inches yester day , but lias fallen ono inch to-day , the do- cliuo being caused by the breaks in the levees and the spreading out of the water. At Quinoy many of the large factories along the river have been shut down but the damage thus far has been slight. The railroads in the vicinity nro experiencing gruat trouble from the flood , and on some of them trains have been abandoned. ROOK IbL\Ni > , 111. , May It.

The Peoria & Hock Island embankment , which protects the lower portion of the town , is not broken yet. The high water has , com pelled the saw mills nnd plow factories to suspend nnd lack of coal has shut the glass works down. It is believed the worst is ovor. A Ttoynl Halo'n Mishap , In n tnllc with a Now York Herald reportorafowdnys ago Dr. G. F. Shrady Bind : "The present difllculty of the Crown Prince William dates from'1 hhj birth , when a fracture of the left arm oceurcd which resulted in that member bo'iny : about two inches shorter than tlio other and has given rise to the stories of his being alllictod with scrofula. Prior to the birth of her child Empress Victoria , the then crown princess , was seriously ill , and her mother. Queen Victoria , dispatched from London two obstett- rioiiuiH to attend to her. Those physicians found themselves unable to cope with tlio difficulty that presented itself , and then arrived the neccessity for a consultation. A messenger was dispatched for Prpf. Martin , the older , since dead , who at the time was high in the circles of the court and president of ono of the universities. Piqued at the introduction pf tlio Englishman in the case , to the exclusion of those of the fatherland , the eminent scientist re turned this answer ; "If I was not able to attend to the crown princess in the flrst place I am not able to do it now. " Informed of this brusque reply of Professor Martin , Emperor Williaiiij at that time king of Prussia , issued an im perial edict ordering tlio obdurate Shysioian to attoiijl the crown princooss. uch a summons had to be obeyed. Pro fessor Martin weitti ) the palace , lie was conducted ho presence of the crown princess , Ji'lj u'o wore the two English obstotrlolai s.

Puiofobbor Martin was dibtnibscd from court , " \Vhou the little prince was throe or four days old it was discovered that his left arm was fnioturcd n short distance from the shoulder. Who broke ii't Did the accident oi-uui' through the agency of Prof. Martin , or while the babe was in the care of iU English attendants ? That question lias never been answered , probably never will bo. The doctor who broke the arm felt the snap of the infantile bone. From the nature of things he would keep the news to him self , fearing to have it known that to him belonged the blunio. The fracture of n newly born infant's arm is not an unuSuul occurrence , and is not regarded in tlio medical profession as sonoub or attended by great danger. In this case , however * when the bones knit the loft arm of the prince was bliorUr than the riiht.and , it has cv r tiuco romulucd , THA1UMNG A TtGKU. Showlnallow nMnucntervasCnnjht with a Corpse for Unit. We wore astir at an early hour. The tiger's lair was in n piece of woods to the west of the village , and very likely In a rocky ravine in the center of the forest. Wo soon found that ho used ono path in approaching the village , and ns ho had eaten nothing but human llosh for several months ho might bo expected to come nnd go by this path as long as anyone was loft In the village. Midway between lils don nnd the village wo built a stout log pen just to ono side of the path , and when it was completed the door was hold up by a cord running inside to n spindle on which the bait was to bo attached. Wo had every thing ready by mldaftornoon. nnd then camp the question of bait. Nothing but human llosh would do , but that did not worry the natives a bit. I think the head hian would have ordered a sacrifice bill for it piece of good luck. An old woman died about noon , nnd wo obtained permission to nrnko such use of the body ns wo desired. It scorned a horrible thing to do , but if wo were to rid the district of the boast wo must en tice him into the trap. The body was carried there , noutcd in an upright posi tion behind tlio spindle nnd lashed to it , and then a dog was tied up in a corner of1 the pen. A second dog wad killed and his blood scattered ever the loaves and earth about thopon , and just before dark wo returned to.tho vlllngo. After supper orders were issued for every person to remain indoors for the night , and to keen as quiet ns possible , nnd by the time it was fully dark the village was as quiet ns a graveyard. It was about 10 o'clock when wo hoard from the man-eator. There was a yell from the dog and a howl from the tiger in one breath , and wo felt sure wo had trapped him. It would not do to move out , however , nnd such was the suppressed excitement that no ono in the village slept an hour. Soon after daylight a couple of natives went on n scout , and in the course of half nn hour they cnmo running back with the news that the man-eater was safe in the pen. no had killed the dog and torn the dead body in pieces , and was reported in a furious rage. After breakfast the cage was carried up and wo had little dilllculty in transferring the benst. When wo came to got a good look at him everybody was amazed. Ho was the longest , heaviest and tallest tiger _ any ono of us had ever seen , and this was also the verdict of all others who got a peep at him. He waa in his prime , with teeth and claws at their best , and n more forocious'disposition no beast ever had. He fatally clawed two natives on the way down the river , and killed a sailor while on the voyage to Amsterdam. lie was sold to an English showman at a big price , but re sold to the Byal museum of Russia on account of his savage disposition and untamable nature. When a portion of the buildings burned about five years ago , "Satan , " as this man-eater had boon appropriately named , perished in the flames. A PERILOUS ADVENTURE. Eleven Boys Shut in n Cave by the Title A Thrilling Experience. More than thrilling was the adven ture of eleven boys as told by the New castle ( Eng. ) Chronicle recently. At the south side of the town of Scaham there is a rock projecting from the mainland known as Nose Point , on top of which is built the Vane and Scaham blast furnaces. Underneath is a largo cavern , known as the "Smugglers' cave , " which , at high tide is llllcd by the sea. Ainong the boys referred to the exploration of this cave and the un earthing of treasure of some buccaneer of the past had long been an object to be accomplisned , and a determination was at last como to to carry out the pro ject. They started oft" , provided with candles , lanterns , torches , a pick and shovel. Entering the cavern at low water , they commenced work and soon wore so intent upon it that they never heeded the turn of the tide , and it was only when they found csjcapo from the cave by the way they had entered impossible that they iealisied their position. The water drove them further and further back into the caveuntil at length they found it impossible to recede any more. To avoid the rise of the water several of the boys climbed as _ high up the walls of the cave as possible. Others had no alternative but to stand pressed up ngaiust the end of the cavern and allow the water gradually to creep in upon them. Il'ghor ' and higher rose the water , and deeper and deeper tlio lads became immersed , until some of them were covered up to the shoulders , They all managed , however , to stand erect , notwithstanding their weakened con dition , produced by shouting for help , and numbness arising from being com pelled to stand in the water. Now and again n broken wave would dash in among them , rendering their position still more perilous. Moreover , the cave was nearly dark , all the lads' lights having been put out except ono , which had escaped the wash of the waves and continued to give forth its feeble illum ination. One of the boys at last , from sheer want of strength , wag washed from his holding , but soon another lad standing near groped in tlio dark , and , with nothing but tlio erics of his com rade to guido _ him , succeeded in re storing him to his feet. In the meantime the lads had been missed from their homos , and their continued absence caused inquiry to bo made. Tiis | resulted in their whereabouts bc- coroiner known. A rumor then got abroaij that all the boys had been drowned , ami"soon fathers , mothers , brothers , .sisters , and a largo body of other men , women and children rushed off in eager haste to the top of the dill. There was no way of reaching them from the shoVe , nor was there any possibility - ' bility of going down the precipitous face of the cliff with ropes. Nothing could , therefore , bo done by the him drods of people who had collected but to wait until the fall of the lido would ad mil of access to the cnvo from the shore Meanwhile the imprisoned boys pnsset a terrible time , but just ns they though the worst had come the water stopped rising. Slowly the water loft the cave nnd in n short time they felt tnomsolvos in comparative- safety , although it darkness. It was. however , lOlitt ) o'clocl nt night before they were rescued. BURIALS ALIVE- A Gentleman Gets Out of Ills Co fill nntl Dnnccs nt n Unit. Burials alive nro far moro common ii hot countries , where the burial takes place within twenty-four hours aftoi death , than they nrohqro , says the Lon don Hoforoo , where onc'gots as a rule a weeks grace. In Spain the body is fre quently removed to the undertaker's sriop a few hours after death. In oao o the largest of these establishments it Madrid sotny years ago , an extraordin ary sight wa9 witnessed. A guntlomai was brought in his "casket" ono after noon nnd placed in the room sot annr fur that branch of the business. u.ho proprietor Uvod ever his promiccs and on this special evening was given a grand ball. When the ball was at its hoighth. a gentleman in full evening dress suddenly joined the company. Ho danced with the wife of the undertaker nnd ho danced with the undertaker's daughter , and seemed to bo thoroughly enjoying himself. The undertake ) thought ho know his face , but didn'l like to bo rude and ask him his immo but by and by all the guests departed , nnd the strange gentleman was the only ono loft. ' 'Shall I send for a cab for'ycmV" said the host at last. "No thank you , " replied the gentleman "I'm slaying In the house. " "Staying in the housol" oxolnimed the undertaker "who sirV" "What ! taker ; are you , don't you know mqV I'm the corpse that was brought in this afternoon. " The undertaker , horrified , rushed to the mortuary room and found the coilln empty. His wife and daughter had boon dancing with a corpse. An explanation of course , followed. The gentleman who had only boon In a trance , hat suddenly recovered , and hearing music nnd rovell'y nbovo , am having a keen sense of humor , had got out of his coilln ( the Spanish coflln closes with a lid which is only locked just previous to interment ) and joined the festive party. Ho was quite presentable as in Spain the dead are gonorallj buried in full evening dress. The Money KliiKol Houtli Americn. Don Mariano is ono of the riches mer of Central America , says the New York Times. His money has been hoarded for years , loaned on good se curity at 3 per cent per month , 30 pei cent a year. Ho has "cornered" corn the principal food of the poor , and in each operation heaven seems to have aided by failure of crops. Several times in his life ho has been ' 'hit" very hard. A certain president of his country was in need of $300,000 and applied to Don Mariano. Don Mariano knew very well ho would never see a dollar of it again , and pleaded extreme poverty. The president made the application a second time. Don Mariano again refused the loan , but ho was summoned to the palace , sent to the penitentiary , and , with ono side of his head and face shaved , was made to work in the streets as a member of the chain gang , much to the joy of his many debtors. Ho bore up bravely under this trentuent for nearly two months , when ho turned ever to the president the sum required. This little experi ence proved of great value on a subse quent occasion. On the death of another president each one of his cabinet ministers was anxious to succeed but any successor had to have the army on his side. The vice president wont to Don Mariano for 8160,000. It was delivered in _ ton inm ates , the army was paid , the vice presi dent succeeded and the former cabinet was banished. Don Mariano is described as a man not more than sixty years of ago , but ho appears to bo post his hundredth year. His spare form , covered with ' a black , threadbare coat , out of the top'of which comes a high collar which has never been a laundress , his white hair , the ( lurk leather skin of his face and his palsied hands make up an ideal concep tion of a miser. A AYIiiK Itnlli-ond. Hon. W. B. Berry , of Nowmnn , says the Atlanta Constitution , is rich in reminiscences of the times when whigs and democrats were "striving mightily" for the ascendancy. Ono of the best stories is as follows : When the At lanta & West Point railroad waa being built party strife was at its height , Those in charge of the location of that part of the line which ran through ( Jowota wcro of the untorrilied , uncom promising whig stripe that fought for whiggcry by day and dreamed of it by night , 'They decided that the road should bo a whig road , and that it should not bo dollied by running through the lands of any democrat. So they surveyed a route , making a bond here and a turn there ; and when the wark was done it was found that from Palmetto to Newman a distance of fourteen miles they had run through the land of but one democrat , and as ho happened to bo a mild sort of partisan and rather hard to surround "they didn't count that , " as Kip Van Winkle would say. And so the roud runs to this day. _ A temporary organisation of n section o'i the endowment rank , K. of P. , was effected at Winchester , W. Vn. , April IS.

Nearly All the News Favors the Corn Joins the Procession Fol lowed by Oat H Provisions Brisk Quotations. CHICAGO IMIODUCE MAUICKT. CntcAoo , May 14. [ Special ToloRrAin to TUB URK.I In the wheat pit It was another day with the news all favoring the bulls. There was unquestionably nn enormous real izing by holders , big and little , some lighting by big foreign shorts nnd heavy selling by at least one local plunger , but nil to no account. Wheat scored another advance in spite of the fickle bulls , nnd In splto of the bears , miulo more courageous by the extraordinary and almost unbroken advance. The mood at tlio opening was to sell , the bulls being Inollucd to concede that the advance might pause nnd the boars being very certain that the buying force had spent Itself. There was selling by Llnabloom , Kaminorcr , Singer , nnd especially very heavy selling by Uloom , but there was buying that ovenvolghtod It all and advanced prices. July , which closed Saturday nt 8Sc , opened nt SOc , hesitated some nnd dropped to 80 0 , then rose , and before 1 o'clock sold nt 8'Jc , and actually touched OOc , a trader named Cant- ner certainly paying that ilguro for ono lot , nnd perhnps others doing the same. Cables came higher , although the foreign tone was still described as dull. A board of trade cable snld thnt fnnncrs' deliveries aggregated for the week in the whole United Kingdom , 2,2r)0,000 bushels , the largest so far. Our crop clearances for the day were only 75,000 bushels , and for the week , Including Hour , only 1,543,100 bushels against 2,553.470 bushels for the same week n year ngo. But those were about the only immediate bear In fluences. The visible supply llgurcs showed n decrease of 2am,000 bushels , twice as much us conservative estimates. Tlicro was still freezing weather In DaKota - Kota and northern Minnc.sotn , nnd through the Red Uiver vnlloy. The prlmnrv market receipts were small , only 177,000 bushels. Tlieso were the chief bull inlluences in u now way. In pit there was heavy buying by Cudahy nnd Ilutchliison , al though this trader was on both sides nnd then the volume of outside buying showed the same interest that it has eneh day slnco last Thursday. It was this latter trudo that furnished body and vigor to the big local buying. A cable from Paris said that French prospects wcro for only n moderate crop and that everywhere in Europe ex cept llussia , the prospects were the same. Corn was strong for nil active options chiefly because of tlio bull energy in wheat , aud the visible supply statement , which showed n dccrcaso of 2,4-19,000 bushels , flnully caused a little independent strength. The receipts were moderate , 218 cars , of which 113 graded No. 2 , but the estimates for Tuesday , 403 c.xrs , are liberal. Tlicro was not so much pressure on Mny. It opened at GOlfe und closed nt 1 o'clock ut 59c. Sell ing by Counseliunn of this option broke it iis low ns 59) $ c. July was strong with wheat. oponiug at 53 > c , 8ollUiK between 57J c and 5Si4'cand closing nt 1 o'clock at 58 c. No. 8 showed unusual strength , soiling up to within 2c of the July option. The local stock is now only 3,134,147 bushels , but the outiro visible is only 0,900,925 bushels. Oats , like corn , got some strength from wheat. Its small local stock , 1,202,000 bush els , also mndo May strong. Its visible In crease , 30,000 bushels , was not n significant ilgurc. May opened nt 35c , sold between 3IJfe and 35 o aud closed nt 1 o'clock , at 35 ' < je. July opened at 34c , sold between 3:15 : , cnnd34 ic and closed at 1 o'clock nt JU..j'c. It was a surprise to the trade , when during tlio progress of making up the visible it was scon that Uuffulo increased only 188- 000 bushels. That being the stopping place for grain bound cast , it was expected that part of the anticipated decrcaso on the hikes would bo offset by a big increase at this city. As soon as the IJuffalo llgures were known sixteen estimates , which had been as low us 1,000,000 bushels decrease were revised nnd made larger. It was argued that a good share of the grain expected to.sliow up at Buffalo had passed there , was en route by rail and likely to show up nt the seaboard next Monday. That , however , is simply n theory. TUo provision trade was bullish in Its movements. Tlio excitement in grain nnt- urally strengthened tlio market aud for the the different lines higher prices , as a rule , wore established.
