As has been stated in The Dispatch, the South Penn Road will be built and con ducted by the Pennsylvania Company. The State law will be evaded by the road being ostensibly built by the Vanderbilts, and then sold to the Pennsy. A Pennsylvania official confirms the statement published la The Dispatch. rSFECIAI. T.rORAM TO THE EISPA.TCIt.1 New York, July 28. The article pub lished exclusively in The Pittsburg Dispatch to the effect that civil engineers have been lately at work on the Sonth Penn, who have been getting their pay, not from the Vanderbilts or the Beading road, but from the Pennsylvania Railroad, has at tracted considerable attention in this city. It is understood tbat the new Baer directory is merely a blind to enable the Pennsylvania to evade the law and to parallel its own line. By the laws of the State of Pennsylvania a railroad is not allowed to parallel itself. Since the well-known struggle between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Vander bilts for the possession of the South Penn, in which the latter came out ahead, there has been much speculation as to the final disposition of the projected road. DO KOISEEO THE SOUTH PENN. The Vanderbilts own the Beech Creek Road, extending 120 miles from Williams port to Gazzaro, which is almost a a exact parallel of the course surveyed for the South, Penn. Therefore the South Penn would be of no practical benefit to the Vanderbilts, except by extending it to Pittsburg to fight the Pennsylvania's main line, which they would not probably care to do. If the Vanderbilts should sell the South Penn to the Reading the latter would have 3 continuous trunk line from tide water to Pittsburg, whereby it might greatly damage the Pennsylvania's business. A man ac quainted with the plans of the Vanderbilts Baldtp-day-tbat the Vanderbilts havaajrreed to turn the line over to the Pennsylvania people and that all the details have been ar ranged. WORK commenced at once. The significance of the deal is the greater, inasmuch as it is about decided that the Vanderbilts shall build the road in their name. This is because the Pennsylvania has not been able to get around the legal difficulties prohibiting it from paralleling its own road, although it can buy up as many completed roads as it wants to. It is the intention to begin building at once on several sections, which will be com pleted inside of a year. There is a bare possibility that the Vanderbilts will com plete the entire line before settling with the Pennsylvania, for it does not yet appear that any stock of the South Penn has been turned over to the Pennsylvania people. A SOUTH PENN ADMISSION. An Official of tbe P. R. K. Back up Onr Discovery ia Bedford. rsrrciju. telegram to the dispatch.! Philadelphia, July 28. The exclu sive publication in The Dispatch con cerning the operations of a large engineer ing corps, presumably in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad, along the line of the South Penn road, caused excitement and speculation here. The circumstantial evidence gathered by The Dispatch has had the effect of causing the doubters to tacitly admit that "there is something in it" Pennsy officials are reticent, but a canvass of the offices here bears out the sur mise that, notwithstanding all the litigation, injnnctions and sales respecting the South Pennsylvania Railroad, they consider thai the Pennsylvania Company is practically the owner of tbe South Pennsylvania to-day. An officer or tbe Pennrlvania Railroad, when asked if enginee.s in tbe employ of his company were engaged in making sur veys through the counties of Bedford, Pul ton and Somerset for the purpose of com pleting tbe South Pennsylvania, said: "While we are the practical owners of the property it is not onr purpose to complete tbe construction of the road at once. The property has longbeen involved in litigation and is still tied up by the courts." A SHORT LINE ONLY. STATUS OF THE RAILROAD MATTER AS REPORTED AT CHAMBERSBURO. Tbe PenniylTitnla Ueaeblng Oat to Tap n Vnlnnble Conl Field Naw monopolized t by the Ucndinc Several lYojects Under Consideration. f A correspondent telegraphs from Cham bersburc denying certain statements made in The Dispatch letter published Satur- t day. He asserts that the Pennsylvania is jbwking the engineering scheme, but that it is not intended" to build the South Penn, only to run a short line 'from the Cumberland Valley road to the Broad Top coal regions. That coal field is now reached only by the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad extending from Hunt ' ingdon to .Jit. Dallas. Bedford county, and - controlled by tbe Reading. Prom ML ,Dallasto Cumberland, Md., runs the Bed ford and Bridgeport Railroad, a Pennsyl vania line. To reach its main line at Huntingdon the Pennsylvania must there fore run its cars over the Broad Top road. ., $?he correspondent says that the Peonsvll y vania is tired of paying tribute to the Read ying and wants its own line to this coal Jregion. Two routes have already been sur vereo, neither of which, it is asserted, fol- JlAHfM aa.lXSlAl SB 4nA SIMnilAiiaJ G a b A 1- Y& iw www uo Auauuvucu ouaiarean, 30 Ctaatbersburg correspondent says 1 that Engineer Ives and Colonel Stewart state that their object ia to locate a line to Mt, Dallas, aqd adds: The Pennsylvania has not as yet decided definltelr to build tne line, bat there is hardly any doubt that they will do so. Their decision in tbe matter will likely be hastened by tbo activity or the Reading company, which is making for the south coal regions as fast as it can get there. During the last tall and winter there were fonr engineering corps engaged In ruuniur lines from the Cumberland Valley to the south coal regions. The Cumberland Vallev corps worked westward from Cham, bersburg, and he Pennsylvania people worked eastward from Jit. Dallas. At the same time the Reading engineers started from Shippers, bnrg and worked over the mountains along the detunct South Penn to meet the engineers of the Baltimore and Ohio ftallroad, who worked eastward .from Hyndman. The Reading and Baltimore and Ohio people evidently abandoned the Idea of a short line from here to the sonth coal beds as too ex pensive to build and operate, but they are now getting the connection by another route. The Reading, Western Maryland and Baltimore and Ohio roads have made an arreement by which the first-named will before long be de Jirerine soft coal to the Eastern markets. The HarrisbGrg Terminal Company Is building a bridge across tbe Sus-quehanna river at Har risburg, and also a gap of three miles on this side of the river which will take them to Bow mansdale, on tbe Harnsburg and Potomao Railroad. This latter road was boueht by President McLeod for the Reading at Sheriff sale last month, and runs to Shippensburg. Here they connect with the Western Maryland Railroad and reach Wllliamsport, Md. When once at this place only nine miles remains to be built until the main stem of tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is taoped at Cherry Run. The Western Maryland is about contracting for its extension from Wllliamsport to Cherry Run, and when that is done the Reading will hare a new connection westward and will carry soft coal East. So it can easily he seen tbat unless the Penn sylvania people determine to build the line, which tbe Cumberland Valley engineers have located for them, they will be lett behind by the Reading, which will have a monopoly of the new section. There is no Sonth Fenn in it at all, but it is very safe to assume that if tbe Pennsylvania once builds this line to Mt. Dal lass,it will not be long until they run just a lit tle way across the country to tap their main line at or near Jonnstown, and then there will be, indeed, a Sonth Penn railroad. BLED HIS BONDSMEN. EX-POSTMASTER JUDSON, OF DAYTON, DEFRAUDS UNCLE SAM. His Securities Obliged to Make the Imount Good They Are Assessed 82,448 48 Bnckeye's Posiofiace Scnndal Sensation Recalled The Money Borrowed to Pay m. Debt. lEFECIAt. TILEOB-A.M TO THE DISrATCH.I Dayton, July 28. Qaite a sensation was caused here to-day,by the United States Marshal from Cincinnati serving notice on the eight bondsmen of ex-Postmaster Judson to pay into the court $2,448 48. The bonds men did not dream of such a debt existing. Judson is' the postmaster who was asked to resign last winter, because he was short in his accounts with an insurance company he represented when he was appointed by Harrison. Judson paid the insurance com pany promptly. His bondsmen had the postoffice inspected and found it all right. Meantime Judson had borrowed $2,400 from a friend. As the,office showed no signs of crooked ness, Judson was allowed to remain in it untii his successor, Captain Lyon, was in stalled. This required several weeks, and then is when Judson is alleged to have defrauded his bondsmen, which led to the sensation to-day. It is alleged he took the postoffice lunds to pay the friend from whom he borrowed. When Captain Lyon took the office he made no further investigation and the matter was dropped, as the office was thought to be all right. The bondsmen were brought to their senses to-day, by being asked to chip in $306 06 each, which was paid and Judson is a free man again. WITH A COMMOn"tABLE PORK. A Boy, In a Pnnloo, Throws tbe Fatal In trnraent nt Ola Brother. Philadelphia, July 28. On Saturday Charles P. Thompson, 17 years old, residing at 2420 Master street, died, it is said, from injuries inflicted on the 16th inst, by his 14-year-old brother, Daniel. The origin of his injuries only came out to-day, when the at tending physician reported, his death to the coroner. The two brothers and another boy were at the supper table at their home when Charles began to tease his younger brother about some trivial matter, and Daniel grew very angry and finally threw his fork at his brother, striking him in the thieb, penetrating the flesh deep enough to remain sticking in the wound. A physician was called in, who pro nounced the wound a trivial one and the next day the boy went to work as usual. Fortwo'days Charles complained that the wound was very sore, and on Saturday it had become so paintul that he was forced to go to bed. Prom that time on the boy con tinued to grow worse till be died. DELEGATE DUEBE'S TURN NOW. Information Agalnat Him In Connection With the Boodle Business. rSFKCIAX TELEOBAU TO THE DIEPATCH.1 New Castle, July 2a Dr. David Mc Kinney, of Beaver, dropped into New Castle this morning and made an informa tion against Frederick G. Duerr, charging him with being a party to the bribery at the Congressional convention. The infor mation was made before Alderman Leslie, before whom the other bribery charges were made. Duerr, it is said, is the man who lost his head in the convention, and forgot to vote for McDowell as he promised, and who afterward got ?250 from Delegate Shaffer to keep his mouth shut. He is a shoemaker, and many of his friends assert that he was never guilty of the crime laid at his door. The warrant has been issued and placed in the hands oi County Detect ive Marshall, who will serve the same at his earliest possible convenience. A large number of Lawrence county poli ticians will go to Mercer to-morrow to see how that county will act in the bribery bus iness. Major McDowell has hosts of iriends in this district who will see that he has fair play and justice. TBTSTE E W 0EFFEL SEAS. A Loading; Metnbar of the Harmony Society Fntara From Enrth.

Thslr Removal Ordered From Fnlrmonnt Fark Philadelphlnns Cannot Hear Grand Operas nt 50e Indignation Ex pressed nt the Order of the Park Com mlaslon. rSFICIAt, TXLEGIIAH TO THE DISPATOH.l Philadelphia, July 28. The Edison phonograph has to go, or, in other words, it can no longer go in Fairmount Park. The Park Commission has pronounced it danger ous and banished it from the park. A few days ago the phonograph was giving select recitals from Theodore Thomas concerts and the Italian operas. Crowds of picniokers, who never before heard grand opera, stood under the um brageous branches of the poplars of Straw berry Mansion, the dairy, Lemon Hill and Belmont, and listened to selections from Verdi, Bellini, Rossini, Meyerbeer and Mo Men, women and children forsook the hammock, the exciting croquet and the festive ham sandwich and throueh the phonocrapb, Patti. Tamagno, Scalchi, Ga lassi, Del Puente, Foil and the other fa mous singers who had nightly sung in crowded opera houses to people who had surrendered from $3 to $20 to hear them, here sung to more appreciative audiences at 60 cents per opera. But the voices are forever hushed in the park limits, for the park commission has decided that tbe phonograph is injurious to the public health. A few days ago George M. Rogers introduced a phonograph at the dairy. It cost Mr. Rogers $350 to introduce his phonograph and it cost the picknickers at 5 cents per head just $50 to be introduced to it Then Mr. Rogers was ordered to move it It cost Mr. Hyde ;$400 to introduce his phonograph at Lemon Hill. He is still $100 out on it It had to be moved before it plaved. Charles a. Shourds invested $400 in the experiment at Belmont. He is still $400 out, "and the man who tried to run an opposition to the band at Strawberry Man sion is also $400 out on his phonograph in vestment. One of the unfortunate operators said to dav tbat they had been given to understand that tbe Board of Health had ordered the removal of the phonographs. This he con sidered a hardship, in viewof the fact that tbe bicycle in opera bonffe tights and the boating man in bathhouse tights were per mitted to infest the picnic grounds. No objection had ever been made to running tbe phonograph in hotels in the city, and that hundreds of them were now in operation at tbe popular summer seaside resorts. Secretary Dougherty, of the Park Commission, to-day explained thatthe Board of Health had nothing to do with the matter. He said some time ago that a number of applications were received by the Park Commission for the privilege of ex hibiting the phonograph in the park. One of the members of the Committee on Super intendents and Police objected to the phono graph on the ground that it was injurious to the public health, not only on account of a cause to deafness, but because of a liabilitv to transmit diseases of the ear by the indiscriminate use by the public. It is also claimed that dangerous blood diseases may be contracted by contact with the hearing tune used by all classes of people with the membranes in the ear. CLOUD-BURST DT ATiATlATffA. Water to the Depth or Three Feet Falls In a Mining; Town. ISrZCIAI. TELEOKAX TO THE DISPATCH.! Bieminohaji, ALA., July 28. A clood burst, which caused immense damage, oc curred this morning- just above tbe mining town of Horse Creek, In Walker county. The creek of the same name runs throueh a narrow valley, and it was on this stream that the cloud burst occurred. The valley was flooded to a depth of three feet, and a number of houses were swept away. All the coal chutes of the Horse Creek Min ing Company were destroyed and 35 cars loaded with coal were scattered down the valley. Over a mile of sidetrack belonging to the Kansas C(ty, Memphis and Birmingham railroad were swept away, but the main line was not seriously damaged. Down the val ley below the town, fences and houses were swept away and some live stock drowned. The total damage is estimated at $100,000. TAKE YOUR CHOICE OF TICKETS.

"These newspaper articles," he said, shaking the bundle of clippings, "are the most libelous and defamatory I have ever read. Listen to this: 'The Mar quis de Leuville, cooling his heels on the-. steps of the Burlington Hotel, while. Mrs. Leslie packs up her trnntcs and escapes home by the side entrance.' "And this," he shrieked, "from the New York Graphic." He began: "The Marquis de Leuville still inhabits the skin of an ass," and broke down. "Some of the rest are even w"orse," he said mournfully. A MESSAGE TO MBS. LESLIE. . Then ho asked for a cable blank and pen, ' and sent the following dispatch to Mrs. Frank Leslie: Such host of abominable and injurious false hoods from America. Have decided to sall'f or New York with solicitor to enter actions. Can not believe'that you have circulated these re ports. This he signed "Rene," and sighed heavily as he gave the office boy 29 shillings to pay for its transmission to America. The Marquis informed me that the solicitor who would accompany him to America was Charles Kemble, of Kemble & Co., in Con duit street. But De Leuville refused to make any statements with regard to Mrs. Leslie's motive in denying that she had ever been engaged to marry him. "I am bound by the laws of chivalry," he said, "to pre serve silence." Charles Kemble, De Leuville's legal ad viser, was less close mouthed. "I shall ac company De Leuville to America." he said, "and we shall vigorously prosecute all those newspapers that have libeled him. That Mrs. Leslie was ready and anxious to marry him before she sailed for America on Sat urday, the 12th inst., can be proved by docu ments in my possession. Why sha. should denv tbe fact I do not know." ikabxen-hk-wtidding, - Sj Kemble showed me three letters in his possession. One was from Begistrar Hearne to De Leuville dated July 11, and read as follows: My lord, I am very sorry not to be able to accede to Mrs. Frank Leslie's reauest, when she accompanied you yesterday, to give the notice about the marriage, because lyflnd tbe superintendent disinclined to solemnize it be fore 10 A. It., the office bonrs on Baturday. X am, my lord, your obedient servant. Fbed'k. He abhs, Begistrar. This letter, according to Kemble.De Leu ville received on the morning of the day it was written and sent it at once to Mrs. Leslie at tbe Burlington Hotel. The re quest referred to in the Eeglstrar's letter was that a special sanction should be given for the marriage be I ore 9 o'clock on Saturday morning. That Mrs. Leslie did make this requeet Begistrar Hearne assures me is a fact, about which he cannot be mistxlcpn. In response to De Leuville's note inclosing the Eeglstrar's letter I was shown one said to De irom juts. .Leslie, which was not dated and was written on plain paper. It read: I shall expect you as you agreed at 12 o'clock sharp. It is for von to think in this matter as well as me. .Lovingly, Florence. A postscript at the bottom and written up the side was: "It would have been better if yon had done so before." PUZZLE TO THE LAWYER. Another note which 'Kemble said was also in Mrs, Leslie's handwriting, but which was not dated or signed, was received bv De Leuville the same afternoon. It was written on note paper, containing in the u up the per corner tne ngure ot a deer with motto, "Tont ou rein." The note read: We will dine together once more, at least dear, if you will call here at 8. "Can you explain," I asked Kemble, "why if these letters ara genuine, Mrs. Les lie should so persistently deny that she ever contemplated marrying De Lenville?" "I cannot, he replied, "that is a mvstery." A special dispatch from New York says: Mrs. Leslie was disinclined to-night to make any positive statements concerning her pres ent relations with the Marquis De Leuville, but she admitted tbat her statement made shortly after her recent arrival from Europe, "that she had no present intention of mar rying anybody," was true. She said that she had received word from the Mar quis informing her of his intention to come to this country for the purpose of engaging in a big legal squabble with the newspapers, and she intimated that the Marquis would probably think better of this later on and stay at home. admits the piest engagement. "I do not wish," said Mrs. Leslie, "to say' anything that will in any way embarrass the Marquis or cause him pain. He has just come through a tronblesome suit which might have resulted in his imprisonment if it had gone against him, and he suffers acutely at times from spasmodic asthma." Mrs. Leslie repeated the story or her first engagement to the Marquis. "Why," said Mrs. Leslie, with great earnestness, "there could be no mistaking his disinterestedness for me, for when I was sick with the black measles and was blind for three weeks he used to sit ia front ot the door of my room anxiously waiting to hear of me. Finally when I felt that I had a good prospect of setting alonz and succeeding in the task I bad undertaken and building up the work done by mv late husband, I sent a cablegram to the Marquis telling him to come over here and I would marry him.

COLLISION ON CHESAPEAKE BAY Results in Three Persons and Perhaps Other Being; Ijoit. Baltimore, 28. The steamer Virginia, of the Old Bay Line, which lett Baltimore at 7 o'clock this evening for Norfolk, Va., on her regular trip, collided with the steamer Louisa on her way to Baltimore from Tolehester Beach, on the Chesapeake Bay, with 1,500 excursionists. The col lision occurred at 8:11 o'clock P. M., off Fort Carroll, about five miles from Balti more.

BULLETINS WILL BE PUBLISHED Giving Statistical Infornutlon e;araisg tbe Cities cf tbe United SUtes, Tbe census of 1890 is producing facts which show remarkable growth of cities in the New South. The statement thatthe Fifty-second Congress is being prolonged to permit the Census Department to complete their returns so that the new apportionment bill can be passed by the Bepublicans is emphatically denied. mtOJI A 8TA2T COKEESPOKDEHT.l Washington, July 28. The first South ern town to have its population counted by the census office is Norfolk, Va., and the progress made during the past ten years by this sea port is very encouraging to those who have persistently predicted a bright future for tbe place. From the figures given out to-day it ap pears that Norfolk has in the last decade come near doubling its population. It has now accredited to it 35,454 inhabitants. In 1880 the population was 21,966, so that the increase has been 13,488, or 61 per cent. The first count, whicn is now being made, does not attempt to give any other data than the gross population of a place, so that it is impossible to say what the percentage of increase has been in the white and black races, respectively. The population of Brooklyn will be given out to-morrow, and then work will be commenced on tbat of Philadelphia and Chicago. THE NEW APPOBTIONMENT. Superintendent Porter has yet formed no idea as to when he will have the whole country counted so that the work of making the new apportionment may be begun. It is usual that the figures are ready in time for the second session of the Congress during the term .of which the census is taken and that at that session the bill making the new apportionment is passed. xi this plan is adhered to with regard to this census the new apportionment would not take effect until tbe election of the mem bers of the Fifty-third Congress. Since the members of the Fifty-second are to be elect ed this fall it has been said that this session is being prolonged especially for tbe purr pose of giving Mr. Porter time to make the count so that the apportionment may be made before adjournment and thus insure tbat it shall be done by Eepublican hands. If there really was any such plan as this it is being kept very quiet and its very exist ence is denied at the census office. COMPLETED IN TOBEE MONTHS. One of the officials said to-day that he did not expect that the whole country conld be counted accurately within less than three months, although the rough count would be completed within a few weeks. While the energies of the census office are mainly di rected toward ascertaining the results of the count of the people, yet tbe other inquiries conneotedwithlihe census are being pushed forward. Mr, Porter expects within the next few days to begin the publication of bulletins. One bulletin wilLgive the bonded debt oi 858 cities, and that of ten years ago. As show ing how well in hand the work is as com pared with ten years ago, Mr. Porter states tnat aDout this time ten years ago, as Chief of tbe Division of Wealth, Debt and Taxa tion, he was just issuing the schedules. Now the office is getting ready to announce re sults of this inquiry. Bulletins will also soon be issued giving the statistics of State production, quicksilver, insurance and street railroads.

Washington, July 28. At the Ee publican Senatorial caucus to-night it was decided that the tariff bill should be taken up at 10 o'clock Wednesday and every day thereafter for several days and theu displaced for a time at least by the river and harbor bill. From Senators it was learned that the object of this policy is to endeavor to force the Democrats to show their purpose toward tbe bill, whether or not it is td be one of delay, The Bepublicans hope by this move ment to tire out the Democrats, who are to be left to do all the talking except when it it considered necessary to answer some point made in a speech on tbat side. The only other measures to bo considered are tbe appropriation bills. The river and barbor bill may be taken up before the' close of this week should Senator Frve. Chairman of Committee on Commerce, who will be in charge of the measure, consider tbat it is best to do so. Tbe same policy win oe oDservea wnn respect to tnat Din as toward the tariff bill tbe Democrats will be nermitted to do most qf the talking. The bill to transler the revenue marine from the Treasury to the Navy Department, which has occupied tbe morning hours for several days past, under the arrangement agreed npon to-night will be postponed until after tbe tariff bill is out of the way. Accorcing to all reports tbe election bill, as prepared by the Committee on Privi leges and Elections, was discussed only in cidentally. Messrs, Hoar and Spooner, it is said, spoke of the necessity of taking ac tion on that subject, but nothing was done. In all that was said by Senators there was no announcement by any of them whether or not they would support the bill in the Senate. Upon the subject of the proposed rule to limit debate tbe general expression of opin ion is said to have been that as yet the Democrats have manifested no purpose to filibuster, and the necessity for tbe enforce ment of such a rule has not yet arisen. It is expected that other caucuses will be held as tbe necessity for them occurs, CAUSED BY BECBXESSHES& Tbe Hovoluiioo n Success and the Oateomo of Financial Mismanagement. Washington, July 28. Mr, Thomas W. Howard, United States Vice Consul at Montevideo, Uruguay, who has been in that country for 20 years, said to-day that thq revolution in Argentine really seemed to be a success. It is said to be an outcome of tbe reckless financial conduct of tbe Government, which caused its enormous emissions of paper money to fall so much in value that men under salary could hardly live.

Far BoekawaT. rSPXCTAL TSLXGBAH TO TUB DISPATCH.1 New Yore, July 28. It seems probable that tbe man who -was drowned at Far Bockway last Sunday was not the John Murray he represented himself to be but Thomas Mooney, the Irish agitator and bomb thrower. He took board at the Madison House, near the far Bockaway Eailway station, eight days ago. He received while there two calls from O'Donoran Eossa. Last Saturday he had trouble with the landladies and removed bis be longings to the Washington Hotel. On Sunday morning he went with a friend to a bathing place on the island opposite the United States Hotel. P. Craig, who keeps the pavilion on the island, savfe the man waded out on the bar where tbe water was about up to his knees. suddenly he pitched aown into tne aeep water between the bar and the shore. He went under without an attempt at swim ming, Craig say. His friend called for help, but before anyone came the man had gone under tbe third time. In the evening O'Donovan Eossa called at Craig's place and inquired after the man, and the particulars of the drowning. This afternoon Eossa was again there. He spoke to Craig of the drowned man as Mooney. Thomas J. Mooney made himself notorious throughout the country on Augnst 3, 1887, by trying to destroy the steamship Queen with a phosphorous bomb in New York Harbor, MUCH EXCITEMENT OH 'CHANGE, Options on Cereals Advanced to the High est Point of tho Year. New Yoee, July 28. The bull fever was raging in both wheat and corn all day long, and in both cereals prices for options advanced to the highest point of the year. There was an immense crowd of brokers around the corn pit in tbe Produce Ex change, and the opening was marked by the wildest excitement. The first sales were made at an advance of 2 eels a bushel, and prices moved up 2 cents more before the close of the busi ness, masing an -advance ot a cents per bushel since last Monday. The excitement continued all day, and the bull speculators seemed to have determined to accumulate a big load of corn without regard to the price. There was a rush to cover by the shorts after the opening, and it was believed tbat a large portion of tbe short interest was closed out on the advance. The wheat market was also excited, but the advance was not so great in wheat as in corn. The foreign cables all reported higher mar kets abroad, but later in the day private cables were received reporting better weath er for the crops, and the foreign houses were then prominent sellers. The upward move ment rests solely upon the reports of damage to the crop here and in Europe. Brokers re port that most of the bnying orders both in wheat and corn were received direct from Chicago. The total sales of wheat were 8,520,000 bushels; corn, 4,216,000 bushels. GEHUETE CASE OF LEPE0SY. A Yonthrnl Spanish student Afflicted In New York. NewYoek, July 28.
