The Coolnccs of n. liawycr Saves Three Persons I'roui a Mtxiilnc. John F. J3urria , a San Francisco lawyer - yor , had a rotnarkublo adventure with a maniac client the other night near the Agnew asylum for chronic insane in Santa Clura valley. The details juHt catno to light ta-niy. : Bays a dis patch to the Globe-Democrat , and show that Burris' uerva saved not only his own life , but the lives of the physician who accompanied him and the maniac's wife. Burris went tea a house near the * asylum to see Henry Woibold , whoso wife was suolng him for divorce ou the grounds of insanity and cruelty. Burris was the woman's counsel , uud wanted nn expert opinion on Woibold'n insan ity. Who n ho reached the place ho found Mrs. Woibold greatly oxcitod. She said Bho feurod violence from Jior husband , who was in un ugly temper , und had threatened to kill her. Burria wont in to see him , accompanied by the wife and the doctor. Scarcely had they entered the room when the lunatic , who IB a man of huge pro pot-Monti , said quiet ly , at the same time producing a pistol : "Glad you came , us I've got to kill you all. " At the same time ho lovalod his revolver - volvor ut Burris. The wife sank into a chair while Dr. Haddon was HO over come with frighti that ho tainted. 13ur- rU coolly proposed that the miinlao hoar a story buforo ho did the shooting , and the result wus that the lawyer told ono of his best humorous anecdotes. tVhen ho oudod thu lunatic said : "That's a good story , but now 1'vo got to kill you. " Again Burris interposed and told n blood-curdling tale of hunting ele phants in India. The lunatic becumo intorcstod , and demanded fresh stories , which the lawyer continued to furnish until the night was fur gone , when the raaniao finally fell asloop. Then the tliroo persona oscuped from the room , and securing aid from the asylum au thorities hud tlio madman arrested. Forty horses , none of them loss than sixteen hands high , were shipped from New York to Havre recently , having boon purchased by agents of the French government. Don't bo in any hurry about getting your young horses shod , unless It is entirely necessary. Their feet will be all the hotter for running barefooted as long as posaiblo.

A moderate number of bills are being made , but the demand is not so arisk , nnd nn easier feeling prevailed. Sixty days' documentary sterling bills on London sold t .SO@1.80Tho week in Wall street was fraught with unusual uncertain ties. The sudden movement of the govorn- ng committee of the Now York exchange In cutting on.quotationsfrom tlio tickers loft Lho outside uubllc rather In the dark as to Lho drift of sentiment. This mthorinnddlod the public who depended upon continuous quotations , and prevented them from trad ing with n degrco of freedom that has characterized the market lor several weeks past , hence n largo part of the tran sactions was confined to the room operators. During the first part of the week business fell off very perceptibly. As the trading public became accustomed to the now order of affairs , they-developed more disposition to speculate. The flood disasters nnd heavy loss of property in Pennsylvania made hold ers nervous and created general desire to realize. This resulted in sharp declines , nnd induced the boars to sell short quite freely. The increased earnings of the St. Paoi , .Burlington nnd Atchison systems , coupled with the known existence of a largo short .interest , induced the formation of bull pools in.tlioso properties. Their operations sctrod the shorts into covering , and boforo'-Uio close-prices moved Tip sharply. The feature of the trading was an increased Interest in trusts , especially susar and lend. The for- inenvas bought on .tho strong situation Tor sugar , and reports of large earnings , and prices advanced eicht points. Lend trusts advanced over 5 points , the upward course being materially augmented by the .purchase of two manufactories at St. Zouls. On bulges the liquidation was liberal , und reac tions followed , but the constant absorption of offerings caused the prices of the inost nctivo properties to close higher than the previous woelc. Bonds . -were fairly active nnd steady. The aggregate transac tions for the weelc were l,3UO00 ( ! shares. "Under the circumstances , llio iiroduco markets mny bo rcgnrdcd as having been fairly nctivo during the wcelc Just closed. The now order of thing ? regarding the dis tribution of market quotations nnd the destruction of telegrapuic wires by storms , tended to check speculative business slightly , nnd the damage to railroads by floods inter fered somewhat with the shipping interests. If anything , trading was somewhat enlarged on outsiae account , especially inhcut , corn and provisions ; wlillo loral operators were not inclined to do .much business. The weather bos been somewhat unsettled ; rather wet and cool .in most regions but no particular damage to grow * ing crops has been reported1 Little improvement was made , howovon as warm weather is now required. The movement of grain to the leading western markets has been < juito free , indicating that tho'farmers are willing , in view of the favor able outloolc for the growing crops , to dis pose of their supplies on hand. Shipments of grain to Canada and New "England und the Middle States huvo been free , us the ship pers are nnxious to move their supplies before - fore the now crops come on the market , und while the present freight rates can bo ob tained. The visible supply of grain shows a decrease crease in all kinds , excepting of corn. The tin- port movement , showslittlo iiiiprovfmoiit.aud rather liberal of corn nnd provisions , nnd moderate of other nrticlcs. Advices from Europe indicate n favorable outloolc for most of the growing crops in all the prin cipal countries , excepting Kussia , aud the markets in that quarter have shown some weakness and further reduction In erica. Stocks abroad wcro moderately larce , and deliveries of home-crown grain have bean rather froo. The changes Jn prices during the week wcro confined within a compara tively narrow run o , and Inclined in favor of buyers. Speculators were transferring con tracts ahead to some extent , and thu recent decline m prices bus encouraged some buy ing for investment.
