Williami, the religioua fanatP:.' The" little lnanlmated form now lioaat Coroner Miller1* umlortaking establishment. A reporter visited tliu house in comRtny with Coroner , Miller. The household s&med to be running alorff as usual, and there wa» Botning to indicate that several of the feawftsa of the house had just died. "Willlaifi* was aa cool and collected as if he werd about to transact any ordinary piece of business. He invited his visitors into the back sitting-room uivl .then vplmnteered to his story. He spoke lii an unusually loud tone, and his language showed an attempt at grammatical accuracy. He spoke rapidly and gave an intonation to each important word. He dressed In black and wore a while, tt*. His face was shaven with' the ■ exception of side whiskers. These were of a dark sandy color and stuck straight out " Earnest was the name of the child who died this morning," said Williams, as be -began telling his story. "8Ue was taken sick last night at 8 o'clock,'and died at 8 this morning." Williams then told of his night's experience. He said he prayed to the lord to restore the child to health, *nl as Me did not get any diroct answer from rthn, he felt assured that all would bo right and the child would rtot die. Notwithstanding Ibis assurance, Williams said he prayed repeatedly and vigorously. When asked why he did not send for a physician. his reply' was that thd Lord bad not told usii* that it was necessary, and he hfi not jiven the babe any medicine at all, lor the reason that he considered tt was in God's bands, and if he wanted anything of that kind He would have communicated his desires. _ - . Williams says tlri child was sufffllrfnjf fronr congestion of the lungs, as nearly as he was able to judge. It got its breath short and Was inclined to sultocata. Coroner Miller made a close e*aChinatiou of the premises, Williams, in MsCfai»k way, piloting the officer around. Two babies, who were each about 8 years old, were walking about from one room to the other. Jiiey were stout and well. Three Other babies, lying in orits, nursing bottles, looked wall enough, Mt tffey lacked Kie. Ofr a bad in the same room was lying the worst-looking specimen of humanity any of the party had •aver gacod upon. it was * puny, sickly, weazened-faced baby. It required a second look to coftVIMo one that it whs really human. It was about a mouth oW, Williams said, and had been left ai'ttae Home by fc "woman, who qhad* to gt»e tw-naine, on the day afMr the child was born. The sight of the child would create the deepest sympathy in the hardest breast. It was with difficulty that it opened its eyas now hnd then, and its voioe—it seemed to cry at intervals of every few seconds—was scarcely .loader than the maw of a kitten. New York, Jan. 5.—The Sun, in its "la and out of Walt Street" article, says: The great excitement of the first week of the new year was in grain aoCl bog produce* Wheal has'been advancing in price for lonw tinw ■ pastyrtl closed on Saturday iqChicago with of-soma ten cent* a bushel from the lowest price. For month* and mouths p:ut the fall in the price of wheat has ten ir«- dicted by The Hon, and a point was roe-a-) reached when the pi-toe of cereals began to aes—Se the importance of a national question. It became evident that, with cash wheat in Chicago at 70 cents a bushel, as it was last month, there *as no margin for profits either for the farmers or for the railroads, and that a serious struggle between there two branches of our national business life was bsepmiift inevitable. Tfco general depression in the graingrowing states became intense, and than seemed to be no way to get out of the difficulty except by the way of a cataclysm But speculators, whose business and vary essence of life it is to discount events, came unwilllnzfy* to the rescue. They oversold the grain market, both here and in Europe, to such an extent that the first indication of unfavombie ugriotftural |*Ds peats wis bound to produce a, violent reaction. And so it did. The bad 4nd changeable weather almost ail ever the grata-growin* region created serious apprehensions tCfi ,the future of winter wheat Alternate thaw and frost left the ground unprotected, while in other parti of the ootinept floods set in, and large areas of bottom lands were overflowed. In some regions, again, immense falls of snow blocked almost all traffic and starved whole herds of cattle. All this came quite suddenly, and found the grata market heavily oversold here, and the stock of grain in store all over Europe considerably below that of last year. In the English market alone there is to-day a shortage of some 13,000,000 bushels as compared with last year. All these facts, coming upon the speculative ootpmunity in a heap, "naturally caused the bears to rush to oover and the bolls to buy for long account. Priced want up wHb a boom. Orders to buy wheat and corn came from all sides, and the ditnger of speculative purchases just now la the same that is inherent la all boon* of this kind. Every petty clerk and hotel chambermaid is now buying 1,000 or 2,000 bushels, and the longheaded and long-pyrsed men who began their purchasee at ten cents below the preeent prices will unload on the crowd, and down prices will rush. again, upsetting all the cal&lations of both farmers and legitimate grain merchants. The market already Moked strained at the clots of Saturday's business, yot there is no telling where*the advance will stop. A private telegram from Chicago said yetfterday (hat Saturday's "bulge was started mainly by the large Arm of JCllis. supposed to be doing the business for Woerlshoffsr." If this be so it would indicate that New York is getting heavily ipfrqstsd in the deal, awl that makes another dangerous element in the situation, for if the big sharps of the Chicago board of trads are glad to squeeae a few dollars out of the chambermaids and bootblacks, they are still more glad to squeeae a few hundred thousands out of the New York speculative celebrities. But ths situation la corn is somsMiat less clear. The crop was very large, lilt there was no old Corn left from last year, and the manufacturing consumption for glucose, starch, and simflar purposes, is sMdily increasing everywhere, while the United States remains the only country supplying this staple. The officer accosted the man with the satchel anil inquired what was inside of it The man replied that be could not opon i because his flugera were too stiff with cold The officer then took them back to the dis potcber** office, bat the companion of the man with the satchel slipped ia between a lot of cars and escaped. The other stranger wn« t ken into the office and his satchel was _es .mined.' was extremely disrespectful to a (vi#-J ing minister, and otherwise unladylike. Mrs. Coombs admitted that sha. had a hot temper, but swore that aba. had been • careful bo4*ewife.« kind mother, and a faithfal woman. TBe, J*«y aftlU stuae decided in favor of the husband. Counsel for the woman came into court and alko4 that bis client be allowed 14 a day alimony. He showed that the act of assembly permitting . divoroe on thiD groand of "sruel and barbarous treatment" also provided that to provide against tbe possibility of the woman pat away becoming a charge on the county the quondam husband might be directed to support h«r afterward. Counsel explained that there wpro only four cases of ate Ttind reported in the law books of this state, bat that neverth -less there could be no doubt about the law. The responsibility for the support of the wife put away docs not ceaso with tho of the divorced busband, but may go on indefinitely, and a, man may, if he should be divorce® frequently enough on the same ground, be compelled to keep one wife and an indefinite number of former wives. The court took the matter into consideration.

Williami, the religioua fanatP:.' The" little lnanlmated form now lioaat Coroner Miller1* umlortaking establishment. A reporter visited tliu house in comRtny with Coroner , Miller. The household s&med to be running alorff as usual, and there wa» Botning to indicate that several of the feawftsa of the house had just died. "Willlaifi* was aa cool and collected as if he werd about to transact any ordinary piece of business. He invited his visitors into the back sitting-room uivl .then vplmnteered to his story. He spoke lii an unusually loud tone, and his language showed an attempt at grammatical accuracy. He spoke rapidly and gave an intonation to each important word. He dressed In black and wore a while, tt*. His face was shaven with' the ■ exception of side whiskers. These were of a dark sandy color and stuck straight out " Earnest was the name of the child who died this morning," said Williams, as be -began telling his story. "8Ue was taken sick last night at 8 o'clock,'and died at 8 this morning." Williams then told of his night's experience. He said he prayed to the lord to restore the child to health, *nl as Me did not get any diroct answer from rthn, he felt assured that all would bo right and the child would rtot die. Notwithstanding Ibis assurance, Williams said he prayed repeatedly and vigorously. When asked why he did not send for a physician. his reply' was that thd Lord bad not told usii* that it was necessary, and he hfi not jiven the babe any medicine at all, lor the reason that he considered tt was in God's bands, and if he wanted anything of that kind He would have communicated his desires. _ - . Williams says tlri child was sufffllrfnjf fronr congestion of the lungs, as nearly as he was able to judge. It got its breath short and Was inclined to sultocata. Coroner Miller made a close e*aChinatiou of the premises, Williams, in MsCfai»k way, piloting the officer around. Two babies, who were each about 8 years old, were walking about from one room to the other. Jiiey were stout and well. Three Other babies, lying in orits, nursing bottles, looked wall enough, Mt tffey lacked Kie. Ofr a bad in the same room was lying the worst-looking specimen of humanity any of the party had •aver gacod upon. it was * puny, sickly, weazened-faced baby. It required a second look to coftVIMo one that it whs really human. It was about a mouth oW, Williams said, and had been left ai'ttae Home by fc "woman, who qhad* to gt»e tw-naine, on the day afMr the child was born. The sight of the child would create the deepest sympathy in the hardest breast. It was with difficulty that it opened its eyas now hnd then, and its voioe—it seemed to cry at intervals of every few seconds—was scarcely .loader than the maw of a kitten. New York, Jan. 5.—The Sun, in its "la and out of Walt Street" article, says: The great excitement of the first week of the new year was in grain aoCl bog produce* Wheal has'been advancing in price for lonw tinw ■ pastyrtl closed on Saturday iqChicago with of-soma ten cent* a bushel from the lowest price. For month* and mouths p:ut the fall in the price of wheat has ten ir«- dicted by The Hon, and a point was roe-a-) reached when the pi-toe of cereals began to aes—Se the importance of a national question. It became evident that, with cash wheat in Chicago at 70 cents a bushel, as it was last month, there *as no margin for profits either for the farmers or for the railroads, and that a serious struggle between there two branches of our national business life was bsepmiift inevitable. Tfco general depression in the graingrowing states became intense, and than seemed to be no way to get out of the difficulty except by the way of a cataclysm But speculators, whose business and vary essence of life it is to discount events, came unwilllnzfy* to the rescue. They oversold the grain market, both here and in Europe, to such an extent that the first indication of unfavombie ugriotftural |*Ds peats wis bound to produce a, violent reaction. And so it did. The bad 4nd changeable weather almost ail ever the grata-growin* region created serious apprehensions tCfi ,the future of winter wheat Alternate thaw and frost left the ground unprotected, while in other parti of the ootinept floods set in, and large areas of bottom lands were overflowed. In some regions, again, immense falls of snow blocked almost all traffic and starved whole herds of cattle. All this came quite suddenly, and found the grata market heavily oversold here, and the stock of grain in store all over Europe considerably below that of last year. In the English market alone there is to-day a shortage of some 13,000,000 bushels as compared with last year. All these facts, coming upon the speculative ootpmunity in a heap, "naturally caused the bears to rush to oover and the bolls to buy for long account. Priced want up wHb a boom. Orders to buy wheat and corn came from all sides, and the ditnger of speculative purchases just now la the same that is inherent la all boon* of this kind. Every petty clerk and hotel chambermaid is now buying 1,000 or 2,000 bushels, and the longheaded and long-pyrsed men who began their purchasee at ten cents below the preeent prices will unload on the crowd, and down prices will rush. again, upsetting all the cal&lations of both farmers and legitimate grain merchants. The market already Moked strained at the clots of Saturday's business, yot there is no telling where*the advance will stop. A private telegram from Chicago said yetfterday (hat Saturday's "bulge was started mainly by the large Arm of JCllis. supposed to be doing the business for Woerlshoffsr." If this be so it would indicate that New York is getting heavily ipfrqstsd in the deal, awl that makes another dangerous element in the situation, for if the big sharps of the Chicago board of trads are glad to squeeae a few dollars out of the chambermaids and bootblacks, they are still more glad to squeeae a few hundred thousands out of the New York speculative celebrities. But ths situation la corn is somsMiat less clear. The crop was very large, lilt there was no old Corn left from last year, and the manufacturing consumption for glucose, starch, and simflar purposes, is sMdily increasing everywhere, while the United States remains the only country supplying this staple. The officer accosted the man with the satchel anil inquired what was inside of it The man replied that be could not opon i because his flugera were too stiff with cold The officer then took them back to the dis potcber** office, bat the companion of the man with the satchel slipped ia between a lot of cars and escaped. The other stranger wn« t ken into the office and his satchel was _es .mined.' was extremely disrespectful to a (vi#-J ing minister, and otherwise unladylike. Mrs. Coombs admitted that sha. had a hot temper, but swore that aba. had been • careful bo4*ewife.« kind mother, and a faithfal woman. TBe, J*«y aftlU stuae decided in favor of the husband. Counsel for the woman came into court and alko4 that bis client be allowed 14 a day alimony. He showed that the act of assembly permitting . divoroe on thiD groand of "sruel and barbarous treatment" also provided that to provide against tbe possibility of the woman pat away becoming a charge on the county the quondam husband might be directed to support h«r afterward. Counsel explained that there wpro only four cases of ate Ttind reported in the law books of this state, bat that neverth -less there could be no doubt about the law. The responsibility for the support of the wife put away docs not ceaso with tho of the divorced busband, but may go on indefinitely, and a, man may, if he should be divorce® frequently enough on the same ground, be compelled to keep one wife and an indefinite number of former wives. The court took the matter into consideration. Chicago's Socteliatic bssa Chicago, Jan. iHX "ok tbe Socialistic scare, the Tunes says: "It is rather an unpleasant condition of things it is found necessary to guard city armories against apprehended attackJfresD men who are engaged in secretly dialling and whose announced purpose is pftlage, arson, and murder.
