Chicago, Aug. 15 No such excited scrambles have been seen in the Chicago wheat pit since "Old Hutch" ran his corner in that cereal in the fall of 1SSS, as were witnessed to-day. Outside dealers were as much at sea as the Chicago speculators. Hundreds ol messages were received by com mission men from clients in the country, inquiring, "what do you think of the mar ket," but the blind could not lead the blind, so each one -n as allowed to grope fornim self. The story is only barely indicated by the closing quotations, which show 6 cents advance in heat, S cents in rye and 2i cents in corn. The excitement which characterized the trading yesterday was quadrupled at the opening to-day. December, which was be ing traded in at 90c at 1:15 o'clock yes terday afternoou, was wanted bv hun dreds of ur.Lxovcixc mri.r,s axd boaieikg bears at from ?1 OrV to $1 OS- the moment the bell tapped for the opening of trade at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Business for about one minute was done on an enormous scale at from SI 0.1 to PI 03?.,', and then for amat tcr of fi e minutes the crow d made a unani mous nh to sell, and the price tumbled to SI 015 Its stay at the latter point was short; the nme unanimity which had for a few min utes been in fa or of the selling side now chanced, and it rove to fl 02, at which point idlers entirely withdrew until apparently crazy buyers had advanced their bids to ?i no. some sales at teat time were as high as fl 05i before it once more began to recede. The reaction following the latter bulge stopped when it had got down to 51 03?4. The market acted exceedingly firm with nn upward trend, reaching to 104J and btick again to 101 a few times, and then, as on the preceding bulge the entire pitfull of ptripirmg, haggard and excited brokers yelled their bids, and as nothing but higher and still higher prices were wanted, bids of 103J, 107, and finally 108 were thundered simultaneously from 500 husky throats, with very little secured as the price shot up. A PAUSE IX THE MAI) HUSH. There was a feeling that after such a panicky adance the worst was over for the shorts for this cetful day, at least. Com Jinrame quiet succeeded, and the price once more began to sag, but short sellers had re ceived such a cruel experience in the earlier stages that the only parties who offered rtuil toward the close were those who had it previously bought. Many of the niot excited traders could sot have given a coherent account of the came of all the turmoil; but, sifted of the whirling clouds of dust which obscured vcn thirg except the tact that the market was in a tremendous state of nervous panic, the situation seemed to be this: Domestic and foreign markets were all feverishly higher, the-short rye crop in Russia, the ex citement in the German rye market over the Eusihn prohibition of rye exports, a report that the cereal crop of Austro-Hungary w as heavily deficient, the shortage in the wheat cxips of France and India, all pointed to a shortage in the world's breudstuns. Lon lou was up 1 shilling on cargoes for prompt fchipment, Liverpool vas 1 penny toi! pence higher and quoted strong and advancing. KEENE CAUSES A PANIC. Then a report was put in circulation that James 1. Keene, of .New York,backed by a big Eastern syndicate, was running a bull campaign in wheat. The memory of his last corner here in 1877-78, when he Held wheat up in the neighborhood of SI 40 tor long time, came to the perspiring shorts a frightful nightmare, and rather than ak e any chances, they ran to the nearest cover, regardless of the cost. Early reports from New York, that for eigners were selling heavily, caused a change of sentiment. "Wheat was thrown overboard in blocks, and the price broke as indicated above. This was near the open ing. By the time SI 08 was reached the ex cited shoutcrs began to lose their breath and to realize that the short Saturday session, ending at noon, was drawing to a close, and that it would be a good thing tp even up trades in view of the intervening Sunday. During this process December declined to i0. gradually recoiercd and closed at il OtW. OLD lIUTril SCAKES E5I, TOO. At various times during the dav Unas said that B. P. Hutchinson was again in the pit; that he had been right on wheat and corn for some time, and that he had made a lot of money anil was giving the boys in the pit another taste of his tactics; that Pard ridgc, after his recent heavy fall, had again plucked up courage to enter the fray, and that he hail been a 1-ewy seller above 103. This would have b;;-. a exciting dav for tneculntors in gri'.i i e en wheat hail re mained stationary. It was thought' bj brokers on the Board of Trade that Friday was a busy day, but before to-day's session was over the pre ceding one had sunk into insignificance. It was one of the wildest days ever known on the floor. The bears were partially prc jiared for the great boom yesterday, but when the bulls took hold this morning and sent prices up with a frightful rush, the "short" element was simply dumfounded. The bears had said last mglit that SI must lie the climax: now let's jump in the morn ing and smat-h things. They did make any number of vigorous attempts to do this, but the final result was not very encouraging to iheiu. LIKK A LUXATIC ASYLUM. From the visitors' gallery the wheat pit looked like an assemblage of dangerous lunatics. The men crowded together in a mass, discarded coats and hats, clawed each other like wild animals, while a constant and deafening roar, out of which no intel ligible sound could be picked, rose to the lofty ceiling. One remarkable thing is that there have been no failures. Everybody got through the Clearing House all right on Friday's Im-iucbi, but it isn't unlikely that as a re sult ol to-day's wild work some unlucky dealers may "go broke." One prominent wheat broker said this eening: "1 can't pretend to predict what the future will bring fortli. There are only 2,000,000 bushers in store here, but the past lew dajs' dealings hae spread over the three lines for from 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 bushels.

Thyson is one of the most prominent traders on the Exchange, and his failure and the big bulge may pull down a few others who are now on the ragged edge. Rumors are flying thick and fast that a number of other well-known firms were caught short in the bulge. So far none can be traced to anv definite source. GOTHAM IS WILD, TOO.

TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH. New York, Aug. 15. "Wall street brok ers stood aside to-day and Matched the grain brokers on the Produce Exchange do the greatest and most exciting business since the days which were the forerunner of that eventful one when war was declared be tween Germany and France, now a little over 20 years ago. The day was short with the brokers on the Produce Exchange. The few demoralized bears were glad it was. Promptly at 12 o'clock the Exchange closes on Saturday. Few could have told where prices for wheat, corn, and rye would have gone had the day lasted longer. At the first sound of the "gong at 10 o'clock, pandemonium broke loose. The cables from Germany an nounccd that the grain market of Berlin was greatly excited, llye, it was announced in these cables, had jumped up in a most start ling fashion. The inspiration was the tavor able adherence in Russia on all sides to the ukase of the Czar prohibiting the ex portation of rye. The cables further said that the reports from St. Petersburg were to the effect that in the provinces there was a failure of winter-sown cereals, that the prices for cattle were decreasing, and that peascnts were selling their horses to pro cure food. The bourses of Paris, St. Peters burg, Vienna and Berlin were all reported to be greatly excited. Rye on the Jf ew York Exchange several months ago was 6.1 cents a bushel. To-day the price was $1 12, and little or no rye was to be had. A few small sales were made on the basis of that price. But the Cevr hold ers of rye were autocratic. They did not want to sell, and would not sell. Even the millers of rve flour withdrew from the market as sellers. So, also, did millers of wheat flour. The wheat pit was a marvel of excite ment. The cables from France, Germany and the United Kingdom all demonstrated the fullest interest in the excitement. The representatives of the foreigners on the Ex change bought and sold with high-handed liberality. It was a great speculative move ment, based upon the actual needs of foreign countries. Nearly 12,000,000 bushels of wheat changed hands. The wires from Chicago ttere drawn taut with the rapid' purchasing orders. All hands bought. Some jumped in and realized recent profits.

Terrific FigTlt Between It and a Ferocious Bull It Attacked. CARRIES OFF CALTES AND CiltCKENS (SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIUI DISPATCH.) Danbuby, Aug. 15. A big panther is terrorizing the farmers in the neighborhood of Beaver Brook Mountain, and a hunting party has Been organized and will start out to-night to capture tho beast. It 1b a ferocious fellow, half as big as a calf and as active as a cat, and stops in a cave in the mountain, where it was tracked Tuesday by Henry Somers, who was in search of a lost calf. He found a lot of bones at the en trance to the cave and a part of the carcass of his lost calf. A big panther was killed over on the north side of the mountain last fall, and this one is believed to be one of its offspring or its mate. The panther has grown very bold, and during the past two weeks it has been fre quently seen prowling about the back yards and farm houses at the foot of the moun tain, and last week a party of children who were picking berries on the mountain side met the animal in the woods, but they ran and screamed and the panther turned tail and disappeared. ITS SCREAMS ABE AWFUL. It has frightened several persons nearly out oi taeir wus or us uueurmiy screams, but it seems to be a coward in the presence of hnman beings, for it has nevor attacked anvbody. Wednesday at midnight John Grlfnng, who lives just at the foot of the mountain on the east side, was awakeDed by a commotion and the bellowing of a bull in a field about 100 yards from the house. There have been several cases of cattle- stealing in the neighborhood, and Farmer Griffing's first thought was that a thief had ventured into the field and was being killed by the bull, which is an ugly creature. Awakening his hired man, he seized a club and hurried out. Instead of the thief he expected, he found the bull encaged in battle with a strange, cat-like animaL There was a new moon, and it was light enough to discern the animals across the field. Mr. Griffing sent the hired man back for a gun, while he crept stealthily forward under the shadow of the stone wall which enclosed the combatants. Then he. WITNESSED A THRILLING SPECTACLE. The bull had its adversary at bar and was endeavoring to catch the animal upon its horns. But the smaller animal sprang aside each time and the bull rushed by and turned and charged again, bellowing with rage at its disappointment At length the big cat tired of such play and as the bull charged again it darted'past, then turned, and, with a bound, landed squarely upon the bull's back. The bull, snorting and bel lowing this time with pain as well as rage, dashed off across the field endeavoring all the while to shake off the burden. But the animal clung to its foe, sinking its claws into the hulls flesh at every step. Just as the bull dashed toward Farmer Grlfnngs' hiding place the man approached with the gun and the strange animal, catch ing sight of him, jumped from the bull's back and a moment later was gone in the darkness. The bull was terribly lacerated and had to be shot One night last week Mr. Somers, who dis covered the panther's hiding place, went into his yard very late and the sume strange animal darted away from the chicken coop, and, with a scream that awakened every- KAUFMANN MEN'S SUITS MARKED DOM. 1K BUYS Men's stylish and serviceable P1-' medium weight C Cassimoro Suits, in neat checks and broken plaids; were sold in June and July at $3 and 3.

THEIR TOTAL PRODUCTION OVER TEN THOUSAND BARRELS. The McDonald Field Is the Richest in the Country A Lone Strip or Valuable Ter ritory Developed The Location of tho Gnshers and Other Good Wells. The biggest oil field in tlje whole south west district has at last been discovered. It is the much talked of McDonald field which is located on the Panhandle railroad 18 miles southwest of Eittsburg. The town of McDonald is on the line separating Allegheny and Washington counties. Last evening at G o'clock there were three wells in this field doing over 150 barreli an hour each, or a total of more than 10,000 barrels a day. This amount is more than one-seventh of the daily average production for the month of Jnly in New York Pennsylvania and the West Virginia fields. The first of these wells is located on tho Mevey farm and is owned by Guckert, Steel & Egbert. It reached the pay streak in the fifth sand Friday after noon as reported in The Dispatch yester dav morning, and started off at over 150 f barrols an hour. Tho next is the Wheeling Natural Gas Company's well, on the Cook lot, located within 200 feet of McDonald station. It got the pay in the fifth yesterday, and immediately started to flow out petroleum at 150 bnrrel an hour rate. About 4 o'clock yes terday the Royal Gas Company's "Jumbo" well, west of tho slaughter house and over a mile southwest of the Mevey well, got a pay in the fifth, and is now probably the biggest well in the field. The latter well had never been drilled to the fifth sand, as reported some time ago, and tho fact that It came in so big last night was a snrpriso to the opera tors in the vicinity. The Mevey and tho Jumbo wells aro almost on a 45 degree line from northeast to southwest, while the Cook lot well is about a quarter of a mile east of this line. These wells develop an expanso of territory over a mile in length, and richer than anyotherstreakso far discovered in the lower country at least. Continuing on to tne noruicasi, a coupie or miles irom ine Mevev well, on tho same lino is Gnffey, Mur phy, Jennings & Co.'swell on the Mathews farm, which, for over a month, has aver aged more than 1,000 barrels a day. Follow ing up the same line two miles further to the northeast is tho 30-barrel au hour well of tho Forest Oil Company on tho Wiight farm, and then comes the McCurdy field proper. The well on the hotel lot, at McDonald, of Vankirk & Co. was flowing at the rate of COO bar rels a day last night, but when meas ured up it was lound to bo several leet short of the level in which the pay was reached in the Cook lot well. The latter is only n few hundred feet southwest of the hotel lot. BEES AT A FUNEEAL. A Swarm of Them Attacks and Drives Away Mourners From the Grave. SrECIAL TELEOIIAJI TO THE DISrATCU.J- West Chester, Pa., Aug. 15. A swarm of bees created great consternation among a funeral party on Tuesday, in Union Hill Cemetery, near Kennett Square, this coun ty, during the burial of Joseph Frcy. At least 400 persons had gathered around the grave in which the body was to be in terred. Just as tho coffin was lowered a multiplied cry went up from the center of the crowd, and the whole ceremony was thrown into confusion. A swarm of bees that had settled on a grave nearby, had been disturbed by some of the mourners, and they proceeded to wreak vengeance on the entire party. Dozens of persons were badly stung, and the greater part of the procession imme diately dispersed and ran off for shelter. Tne services were cut short and the mourn ers retreated hastily.
