CHICAGO , Fob. 4.-\Vlicat broke 2c i
bushel today. Hountl up with a net los :
of Die. The news all dny justified thi
brenk , but whether It Is merely n phase It
Iho ndvnnce or thu beginning of ft mnterln
decline , the opcrntoiHcra puzzled to dc
tcrmlne. There wns n notable absence o
support by the heavy operators nnd nl
other marltcts sympathized , corn dectlnlnt
Jjc nnd oats % c. 1'rovlMons n'.so had i
sharp decline.
There wan n Rood deal of reallzlnu Ir
wheat nt the start and n cont-ldeinbli
nmount of short selllnp , under which then
v\ns u break In the drat few minutes 01
rearly 2c from the high point rcneliud yes'
tcrday. The nrst transactions were nl fullj
lo decline from yesterday's figures nnd wen
oft fully Vi ° more soon. The traders \\eri
ns nervous and unsettled In their views ai
they have been for a week. The appear
nncc of nn older In tha pit to buy or su'
lud.UUO bushel * \\oiihl set the entire crowd ti
following In the direction of the order am
occasionally they would lend , making tin
execution of Instructions given to n broke )
exceedingly dllllcult. After two hours ui
qulto active mmlness the pit simmered dowt
to comparative quiet for n time. The for
elij-n innlkcts Htgnllled their emphatic dls
patlsfnctlon with the advnncc hoto yoslvr
Ony. Klverpiol did not bulge this morn'
Ing. as shown by the unchnngcd quotnllorm
nnd In the course of Iho forenoon ndvlsei ;
n dfcllno of < 4il. In addition to the IndlT
ference of foreign market ? , the receipts al
Mli.neapo'.lH and Duluth numbered GO I cats
n surprisingly large Inciense. A repot t from
Bnn Franclrco , having thiit thrcn ciirgoer
of wheat brought from AUHttallit had beer
resolil , helped to rontlnuc the weakness
with vvhWh the mniket opened. The report
however , proved lo bo a fake and the re >
Kult wns a gradual growth of confidence :
nnd aVic advance In the price , but the sell
Ing again bscame active nnd Ho wns losl
before noon. AIny opened nt 07c. sold tt
C7fcc. ! br ko to CGTfcc. then grnduallv to 07 * ,
off to OiVJu nnd at noon was nt 07c. The
market turned very weak under renewed
heavy selling during the lafct hour and sold
2Uc below the high point yesterday , lc be
low the close last night. May went to CG'X > c ,
but icactcd a fraction , closing compara
tively steady with Gfi ic.
Corn ruled quiet and weak. The weak
ness In wheat had a depress'ng Influence
but the ptntii : estimate for tomorrow stead-
led It. Alay opened about V4c lower at 30c
fell to SO-TnC and nt noon wn about 30V4c
Tlicre was decided weakness during the lasl
hour and May closed nt 30'ic , with liberal
offerings at that figure.
Oats were quiet nnd Joined In the general
weakness. Mny opened 04c lower at from
214c to 21 c. sold to 21Hc and was offered
nt ll4c nt fhe close. The trade In provisions
IS fight until the last hour or RO of the
session , when It became active at the ex
pense of values. The option was nt a de
cline of Ific In pork. 7',4c In lard ami from 5o
to 7J c In ribs. Pork closed nt $10.75 for
May yesterday and wound up at $10.40 to

however , some pretty decent callle among
the offeilugs. The buyers nil wanted a few
cattle nnd the matkct wns lu coM ° onuenco
u little stronger on Inndy fat ' leers. The
fact that Chicago nnd Kansas City both re
ported cattln as opening very tlovv and weak
wan not sulllcletu to prevent u little better
prices being p-tld here. The trade was not
overly active , but practically everything on
Bale clmuj-ed lmml < t

There did not appear lo be many good

LINCOLN , 111. , Feb. 1. The nnnio In the
McAfee murilcr case was n surprise to nil ,
oven to those who had been convinced of the
guilt ot Giles from the day of his arrest.
The tramp had maintained Ills Innocence
until Saturday , and many believed him ,
throwing the RUllt on a person from here ,
But a query from his sister , Mry. Hough ,
who had come from Ohio to attend his trial ,
brought forth a confession. This was re
peated In court , after which Giles told his
own story. ,
Ho claimed that a revelation from God
had commanded him to found n new eict ,
and that after reading the nook of Mormcn
he became convinced that this was the > doc
trine he sought. It was while he still had
thlo idea In his head tint ho came to this
vicinity. On the fatal Sabbath day he passed
the home ot the honest old farmer who fed
him the morning before. He paid that an
Irreslstable Impulse overcame him then and
io jumped over the fence and Bhot Mr , Afee
as he stood shaking the crumbs out ot the
table cloth.
The tracks ot Giles , who became better
known as the "Tennessee King , " were
closely followed to the city limits and his
worn satchel found beside them , but no trace
of the pistol could be found. In his con-
feeslon Giles told how ho had hid It In the
corn ( leld as he fled , and had carefully patted
down the earth to conceal Its hiding place.
Still claiming that he had fulfilled a mis
sion from God , he asked the court to give
him the death penalty In preference to 1m-
pr sonment. Judge Herdman , however , could
only give the sentence of the Jury , which
sentenced Joseph L. Giles to the penitentiary
for seventeen years.

CHICAGO , Feb. 4. Mrs. Lydla Spaldlng
began suit In the superior court today against
the Pullman Palace Car company and the
Denver & Ulo- Grande Hallway company for
$100,000 damages for alleged filso arrest and
Imprisonment. Mrs. Spaldlng , who , accord
ing to the bill , Is a hotel keeper In San
Francisco.claims that last June she bought
a ticket from , the latter city to Now York ,
whence she expected to rail for Europe. She
also purchased at San Francisco a sleeping
car ticket to Denver.
The plaintiff alleges that when the train
stopped at Lcadvllle she was taken from the
Pullman car and conveyed to the Lcadvlllo
Jill , not even being given time to put on all
her clothing. She was put into a room
twenty feet square , In which there were len
male prisoners , some of them locked up for
desperate crimes. The room , the plaintiff
says , was filthy nnd filled with vermin and
the walls covered with cbMeno pictures. Sm !
remained In jail forty-eight hours , when slio
was released.
Mrs. Spaldlng says that no charge- was
preferred against her and at no tlmo was
she taken In a court. At the tlmo of hen
arrest she had several thousand dollars In
money on her person , and n quantity of valu
able Jewelry , all of which was taken from
her and novcr recovered. It Is charge. ! that
the arrest was brought about by etnplojes
of the sleeping car with the object of rob
bery , and that thsy were successful In that
object. Neither of the defendant companies
made any complaint or charged her with
any offeiu'3 for which she was arrested , and
she clalmo tlioy are liable for' damages.

LOS ANGELES , Col. , Feb. 4. Mrs. Mary
Holllday , a daughter of the late Allen G.
Thurmsn of Ohio , Is one of the principal
figures in a sensational damage suit which ,
Is on trial In this city. Prior to her mar
riage to Edward T. Holllday , who was for
merly a well known bate ball player , Mrs.
Holltday resided in Washington , where she
was regarded as one of the most brilliant
and beautiful young ladles In the national
capital. The suit was brought by Mrs.
Fannie L. Holllday , the defendant's sister-in-
law , who seeks to recover ? 25,000 damages
for malicious arrest and false Imprkonmcnt.
It la charged that Mr. and Mrs. Holllday
falsely and maliciously caused her arrest ,
in August last , on the charge that she had
threatened to destroy their personal prop
erty , and had also threatened their lives.
Upon this charge she was Imprisoned for
eight dayf , the proceedings against her being , ,
finally dismissed. In their answer the de- > , ; J
fcnso recite the charges made against the
plaintiff , and deny that the prosecution was
malicious.
