NBW YORK. Feb. 12. A feature or
dealings on ilia Stock exchange waa tlio
ivonl < nt'8s of Vnndcrbllt shares , for which
there dlil not appear to bo especially good
reason beyond n bear rnld , encouraged by the
ilUr-linreo today of a largo number
of employes of the Now York Cen
tra ) , and reports that the most no-
vero economy Wan being practiced In all
departments of the company. This stock was
llral attacked by putting out some seller
lots nt \ \ \ per cent under the present price ,
In the hope of bringing out some long stock.
Northwestern preferred lost 1VS per cent ,
Northwestern common % per cent , Ilock
Island ! ' , ! per cent nnd Burlington & ( julncy
T per cent , all closing at the bottom figures
except UurlltiKton , which recovered % per
cent. Sugar wns only moderately active and
fluctuated within a limit of % per cent , clos
ing at the same price OH on Saturday. A
rumor of the coalition of sugar , coal and Iron
Interests to secure favorable tariff legislation
Ktrcngthcned the speculation In Sugar.
Heading advanced % per cent In the early
trading on Philadelphia buying , supple
mented by purchase : ! of the board traders ,
based on favorable reports concerning the
progress of the company toward reorganiza
tion. It was announced that application
would soon bo made by the receivers to sell
fi.000,000 of collateral trust notes , In order
to pay off the floating debt , which would dis
pose of one obstacle to the rehabilitation of
Western Union lost > /4 per cent on the day.
dcnornt Electric made n gain of % per cent
on the the morning trading on buying In
duced by a report that the March statement
would s ! > o\Y Umt no Heating debt or unpaid
"paper was'outstanding. . In the final trades
the shares reacted ft per cent. Chicago
Gnu , after n reaction of % per cent , rose %
per cent and lost the Improvement. The
Hpeculatlon In the rest of the list wns small.
At llio opening the general market was
firm , but Intensely mill nnd Inactive during
the entire day. The railway and miscella
neous bond market wns firm until Into In
the afternoon , when an unsettled tone pre
vailed , nnd the closing wns nt a reaction.
The Post says : Several Influences com
bined today to encourage speculators for the
( Incline In the granger stocks. The con
tinued fnll In whcnt prices had Its Influ
ences , tlic storm In the west was magnified
us an ndverso factor and of course the rumor
mongers wcro busy with the rate and divi
dend gosfilp. New York Central yielded
rather rapidly , some long utock'npparently
coming out.

the lending stocks on the Now York ex

MINNEAPOMH , Feb. 12. The wheat markets
were weak loday nnd closed ' ,4o below the open-
In ) ; price. This was caused by general unloading
of long wheat , with the cash wheat m.nket
sympathizing. Itecelpts weio 118 cats ; shipments ,
G3 cars. .May opened nt B7c ; July , CSftc. The
market declined almost steadily from the Hrsl ,
until May ninged lu n.'Oic und July , tCIic , from
which there was a sIlRlit reaction toward the
close. Trading was nctlvo most of Ihc lime ,
wllli shorls Dial did nat eover Saturday buying
loday. The close was : February , C5Vjc ; May ,
55T4c ; July , 5S'ic ' The. prices obtained loday were
the lowest ever reached In thlB market , The de
mand for cash wheat was pretly goad from
millers , who paid n Hide more than Ic above the
May price. No. 2 sold rather betler nt the de
cline than It had Bold for several days before.
Track wheat closed at 5S)4e for No. 1 hard ;
No. 1 norlhoin , C > G-ic ; NJ. 2 noithcrn , 55c.
Farmers were understood 10 bo felling less than
lust week and It Is believed on account of bad
ro.id.s nnd low prices their sales the present week
will bo as low ns nt any other lima on the pres
ent crop. Considerable sales have been nmd for
future delivery , nnd that wheat will be shipped
In from Interior elevnlors , and local receipts may
hold up fulily during most of Ihc week.
The Hour mills me grlndliiK about as much ns
last week , and in. my of the millers report that
sales of Hour nio n little better than they weie
n week ngo. They arc obtaining about the ramc
prices , although some of them reported about Bu
lower loday lo conespond with the gain In
wheat. The rhlpmenls of Hour for llio last
twenty-four hours were IG.nia bbls. The total
shipments for the l.isl week were 102.723 bbls.
First pnlcnls are quoin ] nt J.t.2.g3.40. with sales
made today within Hint range. First bakers
sold nt JlXfTU'j ' , according lo llio quality and
llio size of Hie order. Considerable of the low
grades Is yet run In the feed , although sonic
wcro made Ut fl.logi.2i ) In bags.

NEW YORKFeb. . 12. The week opens with a
favorable outlook In Ihe dry goods district , owln ?
lo supplies throughout the country being kept
down to the minimum and loc.il stocks arc held
within equally conservative limits. A favorable
feature of tlio general market Is the promptness
with which collections are made , particularly
from the southwest. Print cloths arc quiet ;
prints nnd printed goods nnd ginghams ahd
woven wnsh fabrics are qulle generally brisk on
mall orders for spring and summer goods. Dress
goods nnd foreign dry goods are qulcl , but about
steady. Woolens show some easiness. The jobbing
trade Is fairly active at steady prices. Prices of
bleached cotlons were reduced us follows : Lons-
dnle 4-4 to 7c , net ; lilackstone 4-4 to G'Jc , net ;
Hope 4-4. Gc , net ; Kitchburg 4-4 , Gc , net : Forgeme

The week Rtnrta'-out with comparatively
light receipts df'nli ' kinds of Block. There
were fewer cattle hero tlinn on Saturday era
a week ago today , nnd whllo there wcro n
few very good beeves hero the bulk of the
offerings wcro cows nnd common to only
fair hnlf fat and short fed steers , Thcro
wns nothing encouraging In reports from the
cast nnd no outsldo demand , but ns the offer
ings were limited nnd the Inquiry from
local houses Indicated moderate require
ments , sellers wcro generally enabled
to realize steady prices for tliolr
holdings , although In some cases prices
shaded lower. Some choice fat lM8-lb.
beeves brought $4 , but fair to very good
1,000 to 1,400-lu. beeves sold very unevenly
anywhere from $3.30 to $3.GO , while fair to
poor stuff and odds nnd ends wont nt from
$3.25 down. It wns not n particularly lively
market , but n fair and reasonably early
clearance wns effected.
Cow stuff was In rather liberal supply nnd
the trade was not slow , but prices were nil
'of 'n ' dime lower tlinn Snturdny. Local
houses had thn Held to themselves , nnd
they pnld from ? 1.7G to $3.00 for poor
to choice cows nnd heifers , the bulk
of the fair to good butchers' cows
selling nt from $2.25 to $2.65. Calves went
nt from $2.90 to $ i > .CO , or nbont steady prices ,
but rough stock was generally easier , com
mon to choice bulls , oxen nnd stags selling
nt from $1.90 to $3.
Justness In stackers and feeders was quiet ,
but prices were flrmly held 6n all grades.
There was not much outside demand , but
regular dealers were nil wanting supplies.
Good to choice feeders are quoted nt from $3
to $3.40 , fair to good nt from $2.70 to $3.
nnd lighter , commoner grades nt from $2.70

HOGS There were hardly enough hogs
hero today to make a market , the supply be
ing the lightest In over six months. Th
heavy snow storm was undoubtedly re
sponsible for this , nnd buyers being fearful
that this would have a tendency to restrict
supplies the remainder of the week were
not slow In picking up the few hogs here
at prices averaging about 15c better than
Saturday. Buyers paid little attention to
weight. They bought common to choice
hogs ot all weights as usual at a very nar
row range , -from $5 to $5.10. The market
rather strengthened ns the morning ad
vanced , nnd although several tralite
wcro late In arriving , the hogs sold
about as fast as unloaded , the last bogs
selling to the best advantage. Trading was
largely at $5.05 , the same as on last Monday.
Saturday's trading was largely at $ .90.

"The seigniorage bill Introduced , or rather ,
resurrected , by Jlr. JJIand will possibly pass
congress , " said Colonel It. M. Gnrver of
Philadelphia at the Millard. "It may bo
amended to please the gold men , but the
majority of the people seem to have fully
realized that some compromise measure
should bo passed to appcaso the demands
of the sliver men nnd stimulate business In
the western mining states. There seems to
bo a tendency to revive sllverjJntercst3 In
India nnd I think that the 'white metal'
men In congress liavo calmly awaited this
opportunity to spring the sclgnlonigo
measure , withconsiderable , prospect of suc
cess. The repeal of the purchnslng clause
of the Sherman law has not restored that
great solidity In flnanclal circles which was
generally anticipated. The sliver men have
been fighting with nn energy born of despair
and their pcrservcranco nnd aggressive nc-
tlvlty calls for some recognition. Unless I
miss my reckoning greatly , they will get n
compromise of some kind before congress
adjourns. Many anticipate a presidential
vntn nf nnv IpirlulnHnn fnx'nrnhln in Kllv-nr
but I believe that pressure will bo brought
to bear upon President Cleveland t5 * slgn
the seigniorage bill If It passes congress. "
"Tho Indictments against other men who
were held on the same charge which con
fronts mo have been quashed , " said Dell
Akin of Holt county at the Merchants. "I
propose to stand my ground nnd face my nc-
cusers In a court of Justice. Furthermore ,
I will vindicate myself and I have no doubt
but what I will bo acquitted In a manner
that will gratify my friends nnd cause my
political enlmlcs to sneak off and bite their
lips with batllcd rage. My trial comes up
soon. I have a case In the district court
hero against Sheriff Cunningham of New
Mexico for damages sustained by his treat
ment of me In the south. I propose to stand
by that case and fight him to n finish on the
Issues Involved. This Is on the docket fern
n hearing at the next term of court. I
have Just recovered from my recent spell
of sickness and nm now feeling In good con
dition to avenge the wrongs that have been
heaped upon me. "
"Talk about cnnnlbnls , they nre not In It
with n man who Is now an Inmate of the
Colorado state penitentiary nt Canon City , "
said M. L. Sperry of Denver at the Pa.xton.
"This man Is named Packer , and ho Is serv
ing a forty years sentence behind the big
stone walls of that institution. The charge
Is murder. Ho Is always pointed out to
visitors , who have , n sort of morbid curiosity
to see the 'man-eater. ' In appearance he Is
the last person on earth who would bo sus
pected of chewing human flesh and munch
ing the bones of comrades on a mountain
top , but n second glance at the man's eyes
reveals nn expression which denotes treach
ery nnd a peculiar glitter. Packer wears n
smnll mustache nnd goatee. Ills blue eyes
arc deeply set In a small , somewhat peaked
face. Ho talks but little. Strange to say ,
his assignment at the prison Is to attend to
the flowers. His fnvorltc pet la n cat , which
ho never allows to leave Ill's side , except at
meals. The crime for which Packer Is In
carcerated , and which gave him the so
briquet of 'man-eater , ' occurred about eight
years ago In the San Juan country. Packer
and four comrades started over the moun
tains on a prospecting tour. Weeks passed
nnd nothing was heard of them until ono
of them ; weak nnd emaciated , crawled Into
Ouray with the startling Intelligence that
the party had run short of rations and al
most perished with cold and hunger In the
mountains. Packer and three of the party
had retired for the night. The fourth , who
brought the news , had gene out In search
of game und was late In reaching camp.
Ho did not return until the following day
and the sight ho saw made his blood curdle.
Ills comrades , with Mio exception of Packer ,
were prostrate on the ground murdered.
A peculiar odor near the campflro led him
to Investigate. It was the remnants of
cooked flesh. A hurried glnnco at the
sides of the murdered men revealed
the horrifying fact that some ono had de
liberately cut steaks from the tendorest
portions of their bodies. Their pockctbooks
wore gene nnd so wus Packer. The horrible
thought ot murder nnd cannibalism rushed
through the surviving prospector's head , and
ho plunged through the snow to the nearest
town. Otto Means and other citizens be-
caino Interested In the apprehension of the
murderer. Packer finally turned up allvo
and hearty with it flush roll of greenbacks
and a wallet that belonged to ono of the
men. Ho was arrested and convicted , Later
ho admitted the horrible crime and said
that ho first killed his comrades whilu they
slept , because ho wns suffering with n men
tal aberration and the fiendish imptilso of
hunger. Ho then robbed them , and antici
pating the roturi' of the other prospector ,
made his escape. Ho was headed for Salt
Laka when apprehended. Hccontly an ef
fort wus made to secure his pardon , but tone
no avail. "
"Tho victory of the Commercial club In
securing an equality of rates between Omaha
and northwest Missouri points will bo fol
lowed quickly uy others , " remarked Com-
slonor Utt ut the club. "I am now nego
tiating with the Mls'sourl Pacific , whose
lines run on the opposite side of the river to
the points reached by the Kansas City , St.
Joseph & Council Dluffs road. I think wo
will EOOII bo accorded our rights In that ter
ritory , I have nlao received advices from St.
Louis that the Southwestern Trulllo associa
tion will consider the reduction of rates be
tween Omaha and Texas points on the 20th
liiEt , The schedule of Just rates Is the basis
of n great Industrial future for Omuhu , 1
have found that In offering Inducsmcnts for
the location of factories and Industries the
first question Is generally ono with relation
to freight ra'es. The fact that Omaha ban
for years got the worst of It In railway
rates nnd Kansas City enjoyed Just the op
posite , is duo to the fact that Omaha has
been without an organization to protect Its
Interests , while a united sentiment and per
sistent work a' Kansas City has attained
great resultn. I bollovo that the near fu
ture will witness bornu great revisions of
rates favorable to Omaha , If the members
of the Commercial club will all pull to
gether. "

Colonel ( Irntnuii of tlio 'l'rl -i > Military
Ili'inlilimrtor * Hnlil to lti > Tyrnnt.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 12.Tho C.'ironiclo
prints a story of n bitter war umong army
men nt the Presidio military headquarters
adjoining this city. The scandal directly
Involves Colonel Graham , commander ot the
forces there , nnd Lieutenant C. M , Young.
Young Is under arrest nt the 1'rcsldlo. All
nrmy men Implicated refuse to talk , but the
story Is thnt Young had prepared charges
ngalnst his superior , Colonel Graham , alleg *
Ing capricious nnd tyrannical conduct ngalnst
his subordinates , nnd thnt the charges , In
accordance witn nrmy regulations , wcro pre
sented to Colonel Grnhnm , the complnlnaiit'n
tnimcdlnlo superior , to bo laid buforu General
Hiigcr , commanding the department. Gra
ham , It Is said , Immediately ordered the ar
rest of the complainant. lloth men are old
In the service , being veterans of the civil
war , during which both attained the rank of
brevet brigadier general. Young's friends
Intimate that If General linger docs not
order n court martial the matter will bo car
ried before the sccrctnry of war.
It Is apparent at Presidio that the sym
pathy of olllcors and men Is with Colonul
Young. In an Interview In the Call n high
nrmy ofllcor , whose name Is withheld , saym
"It Is n grand climax that had to como
sooner or later. If Colonel Young had not
taken It up someone else would.
The commanding ofllccr at this post , since
assuming his charge , has been despotic.
Ninety per cent ot the ofllccrs nt the post
will testify and gladly to Colonel Graham's
tyrannical , overbearing , suspicious nnd ca
pricious manner. No one will deny his In
tegrity nnd bravery , but since ho has been
hero ho has been a tyrant. I do not know
the specific charges brought by Colonel
Young , but , generally speaking , thr-y nro for
rude nnd ungcntlomunly conduct toward him ,
AYliut the outcome will be no one can tell.
I know that Colonel Young courts trial that
ho may vindicate himself of any charges
that may bu brought ngnlnit him. He has
an untarnished record of thirty years
service , and It Is lamentable that he should
now bo subjected to humiliation , if this
trouble had been between two captains It
would be summarily disposed of , but the
higher the ofllclal the greater the scandal
and expense of trial. It costs money to try
such cases , and If they nro tried , n Jury of
their superior olllcers cannot enforce n sen
tence. That power Is vested with the presi
dent of the United States , and unless In casei
of very serious character the matter Is never
taken that far. "
It Is stated that General Rugcr has not
yet received notice of the charges against
Colonel Grahnm or those against the ofllcer
under nrrcst , Colonel Young.

many robberies along the shores of the somul

ono of the crew and u largo amount of plun
der. The boat Mrst began to bo heard ol
late last summer. Those who Raw her described - <
scribed her an u sloop of about twenty tons.
Her hull wan painted black and she carried
more Nail than moil boatti of her sl/u and
rig. There were usually seven or eight men
on her , and when seen she was usually driftIng -
Ing slowly along. Once or twlco attempts )
wcro mndo to overtake her to obtain a'
closer view , but the crow would hoist
and slip away from any sailing craft.
Stories about the boat cnmo from almost
every point from City Islands cast to Now
London. Hye , Tort Chester and the other vil
lages In 'tt'cHtpliostor county reported the doIngs -
Ings of her crow. Then BIO ! would bo heard !
from along the Connecticut shores , first
at Saybrook , then at Stamford , then back to
Now London. For a long tlmo she was not
connected with the robberies , but nt last a
farmer whoso hen roost had suffered laid the
blame of the loss to the bluclt sloop , which
dropped anchor oft his farm at sundown an
the night of the robbery. A reign of terror -
ror was Inaugurated , and people ) ha
homes close to the water wore on the alert
at all times to repel the robbers. Since the
advent of the cold weather the visits of the
craft have not been so frequent , but hardly ,
a week passed without two or three bur-
glnrlca. On 1'rlilay lust tlio general stern
of Lewis Smith at Kort Salonga. L. I. , wan
plundered of the greater part of tlio stock.
How the thieves carried the stuff away no
ono could tell. The soft country roads
showed no sign of wagon tracks and It was
surmised u boat was used to carry the goods
away.
Last night the black sloop anchored oft
Milton's Point , at Hyp. Two mun wcnt
ashore nnd after .hauling their row-boat
upon the beach they went to the depot. They ,
had with them two bags which they shipped
for Now York. Then they disappeared.
Some men and boys living at Milton's Point
became curious about tlio strange craft and
put off to Investigate. There was n varied
lot of stuff aboard , which would have stocked
a fair sized country store. This was re
ported to the local police , who at onca.
started to IIml the men.
Ono of them was taken Into custody. Tha
other had started for New York. The two
bags ofiStuft were seized by tlio police , actIng -
Ing under orders from Justice Hariich. Thn
bags wcro found to contain boots and shoes ,
clothes , spools of cotton and silk nnd many ,
such articles. Tliesc corresponded with tha
goods stolen from KorL Salongu. The pris
