News Ofpics, Monday, May 18,—The second half
of the moirtji opens with brighter prospects for oot-
ton, and m* e faith in the stability of present prices.
Liverpool led off firm this morning, and closed
l-16d. high for spot. Deliveries showed an advance
of l-3S@3-32d. New York was l-16c. up on spot,
and futures were better.
The Providence telegram reduced print cloths
1-16® J£c., and reported a dull market. Receipts at
Bhe ports .were large. The net receipts at this port
since Saturday footed up 2173 bales, making the
total thus far this season 639,178 bales, or an excess
of 185,731 bales over last year's figures.
Provipipae lost ground again to-day, and weak-
ness prevailed la all Western markets. Chicago
reduced mess pork 10®18^o; July $18 07}$. Dry
salt meats ware shaded 2^o., and lard fell Sc.;
June 10.20a.; July lQ.MKo. At St. LouiSflard is Ho.
lower, at 11%c. Dry salt meats nominally lower,
and bacon 5©10 points off on sides.
Flour unchanged at St. Louis. Wheat lower on
options; May, $1 09*6; June, Si 07}<; July, |1 01%.
Kansas City reduced No. 3 to 04c., a decline of 2c.;
No. £, 92c., a decline of He. Chicago put No. —
spring up }£c. on May to >1 (H^c., and June to
S( 83$6c; July Closed %o. higher. Oats at St. Louis
9{c. lower, and corn easier.
PROSPECTS OF A LARGE WHEAT CHOP,
The Ciricago Times publishes telegraphic reports
from every spring wheats-rowing county In the
Northwest, from which it appears that the situa-
tion may be said to be highly encouroging, for the
best reports come from those plaoe* where the mo.t
spring wheat is raised, and for the greater part the
least encouraging reports are from regions where
winter wheat has been found the more profitable to
cultivate. In Minnesota, Nebraska anil Dakota,
whioh are almost wholly fciven up to spring wheat,
there !s a largely increased acreage, and the pros-
pect is thoroughly good. In some of the newer
counties of Minnesota, the acreage has doubled,
and the average increase for the State is 20 or 2S
per cent At the same time the condition is usually
stated to have been better, and sometimes to
have never been so good, and the prospect for
an increased yield per acre is very certain. In
Nebraska the acreage is increased, and the proba-
bilities are in favor of an exceptionally large har-
vest. From Kansas the reportB are not quite so
favorable as to the quality, though the prospects
are generally fair to good, and the acreage is re-
duced. This is mainly due tn the fact that winter
wheat in that State is supplanting the spring sow-
ing. la Missouri, al o, tue fall sowing prevails.
Nor more than one-tenth of the wheat that will be
raised to that State this year will be spring sown.
The condition of the spring grain is not altogether
satisfactory, and In some localities it is poor. In
Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa the condition of the
spring wheat ranges all the way from good to very
poor. The acreage in general Is much reduced.
Where the acreage of spring wheat is largely re-
duced it is generally because the farmers have
found that tlie Tall is netter than the spring sowing.
LOSSES BY FIRS.
Thus far 1881 has been a bad year for the fire
insurance companies. The statistics of the Insu-
rance Chronicle show that the total number of tires
in the TJnlted States and Canada for the month of
March Was 1080, In which the aggregate loss was
S8.060,100, and the loss to insurance companies
§4,158.200. The number of firt-3 for the first three
months of the year was 2&T, with an aggregate
loss of $20,578,100, and a loss to the insurance com
ponies of :J12,855,100. Comparing this period with
the same period in previous years, it appears that
1881 has been the most destructive, with the e»-
ception of 1879, when the New York dry goods
district was visited by a disastrous contlagraiion.

An Infant's Lawsuit.
LFVom the New York Sun.}
Austin D. Jloore, who died in Brooklyn a
year ago, in his twenty-eighth year, was the
namesake and only mail heir of his father, Aus-
tin D. Moore, an old-time resident of Brooklyn.
He was limited in his expenditures to the in-
come of a large trust ff und, and, with an abun-
dance of money, he led a life of excesses which
undermined his health. He was for several
years engaged in an effort to break his father's
will, that he might secure his fortune in bulk,
as he did not find his inoome equal to his ex-
penditures. When hardly of age he was mar-
ried, but his wife obtained a divorce and an
allowance of $25 a week alimony. When Moore
paid the alimony he was accustomed to call
upon her to beg some of it back, and he took
occasion, on these visits, to renew his court-
ship, and, after a few months' separation, they
went upon a bridal tour and sjjent a second
honeymoon. He grew tired of her in a few
weeks, and when she complained of his neglect
he told her that the decree whioh granted her a
divorce forbade him to marry again; that
he was not legally her husband, and that she
was in a worse position than ever. She then
began proceedings to have the second marriage
annulled, but the City Court held that the
Second marriage required no decree to render
it void. Subsequently Austin D. Moore and
Miss Carrie Maynard were married in Jersey
City, and after their marriage the first Mrs.
Moore died. In the meantime a male child
was born, and to make it legitimate a
second marriage ceremony, making the
fourth that Austin D. Moore had en-
gaged in with two wives, was performed.
This child, which was named Edward D. Moore,
b came the plaintiff after its father's death, in
a suit for the fortune held in trust for its
father's benefit by Joseph Hegeman, the execu-
t ir of Austin D. Moore, the elder. It was
claimed that the child was legitimate, because
of the marriage in New Jersev, and was en-
titled to the father's fortune. Justice Gilbert,
3 esfcerdav, decided to the contrary. He also
decided feat Julia Moore Rhodes is entitled to
one undivided half interest in the fund now in
the hands of Joseph Hegeman, as surviving
executor and trustee of Austin D. Moore, the
elder, under the trusts contained in the will,
and that Gerard M. Lyon, Mary E. Lyon and
Bernard C. Lyon are each entitled to an un-
divided sixth part of the fund.

Romantic Story of a Tooth.
[£Yom the Philadelphia Times.]
A young woman, who is described as " one
of the loveliest and most accomplished daugh-
ters of Cheyenne," while riding through the
streets of that lively city, a few months ago,
was thrown violently from her horse. A
Spanish lad sprang from the lamp-post against
which he had been leaning and endeavored to
prevent the accident, but the only assistance
that he could render was to lift the lady from
the ground and bear her into a neighboring
house. Then, sighing for further sight of the
fair one, the youth resumed his duty at the
lamp-post. Ai for the young woman, she sus-
tained an annoying injury. It was nothing
less than the fracture of one of her front teeth.
The delicate penrl that flashed through "lips
within whose rosy labyrinth when she smiled
the soul was lost," was hopelessly crushed.
Beauty in distress appealed to art; the
young woman went to a dentist, who
promised to search high and low for a pearl of
the proper size and brilliancy. The search
was made faithfully, but not until the dentist
saw a young Spaniard leaning against a lamp-
post did he find the coveted prize. The
youth gladly sold one of his teeth for $100, of-
fering all his stock in trade at the same terms.
The tooth was submitted to proper treatment,
and the young horsewoman appeared at a ball
on the following evening, apparently none the
worse for the accident. But, with" a woman's
cariosity, she would have given her head to
now whence came the tooth. Time passed
T le Spaniard made *a fortunate purchase of
S'jjck with his hundred dollars, and nofonly
bjgan to patronize the tailor but indulged in a
bank account. One evening last week chance
threW him into a select little party where the
fair rider happened to be present, and he re-
lated his dental adventure. When he smiled
and pointed to the vacant place in his mouth
the young lady gave a little shriek. Her se
cret was discovered, and now the Cheyenne
and Denver papers announce that the Spaniai
will get his tocih back at the altar on the 35th
of this month.

ISpeotaZ Correspondence of The JVeuis.l
Nrw York, May 10.—It is stated that engineers
are now engaged in locating Gould's new road from
Alexandria, La., to Jacksonville, Ark., whioh, when
completed, will connect the Iron Mountain with the
New Orleans Pacific.
The course of the Liverpool cotton market the
la*t few days has proved a severe disappointment
to holders on this side, as that market had been
represented as on a better basis since the liquida-
tion of the high-priced oontracts—eeme of whioh
oost as much as Td. per pound- Those who closed
out these engagements went in again at. 6d. and
th«reabout, but even this figure is now broken, and
some predict that 5)£d. will be reached.
nerve than they could at 1
_ But pres-
ent holders oen certainly carry cotton with more
nerve than they could at 7a„ and once the present
lethargy is mastered, a more steady market is like-
ly to be the result. All things considered, surprise
is felt that there has not been a dozen failures, at
least, among the holders of high-priced cotton oa
the other side.
The market, under the continued bad Liverpool
advices, and hot, forcing weather for the new
crop, fell to 10.12 for Mays, 10.24 for Junes, 10.32
for Julles, and 10.38 for Augusts, but from these
there was a rally of 4 points.
It is stated that a consolidation is on the tapis
between the United States and Edison Electric
Light companies.
The Southwestern consolidation, so far as five
roads are concerned, bids fair to be a fact within a
fortnight. These roads will be the Missouri-Pa-
cific, Texas and Pacific; Mi-souri, Kansas and
Texas; Iron Mountain and International. The de-
tails have.yet to be arranged. In course of time
the New Orleans Pacific and other roads will
doubtless be tacked on to the giant monpoly.

Mountain was dull at 72®71)£.
All the Gould properties appeared soft. This

[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette]
Lebanon, Pa., May 0.—Several months ago
a charcoal burner at Indlantown Gap dreamed
that at a certain spot silver ore could be found.
The dream was repeated, he says, for three
suooessive nights. He searched for a spot 011
t ie mountains like that which he had seen
his dreams, and found one. A clairvoyant
was then told of the dreams, and a seance fol-
lowed at midnight on the mountain, when the
new moon was apparently over the spot. It
is claimed that strange noises were heard
on that night coming from the
earth. A few shovels of earth anil
gravel were thrown up, and a rock
was taken out and examined. Veins of a
bright metal-like substance oould be traced in
the stone, and when this news spread through
the region the valley was wild with excite-
ment. The spot is on the hillside, only a shori
distance from the hut of old Joe Raber, who
was murdered by the " Blue-eved Six," to get
the $30,000 insurance on his life. Ten hard
working backwoodsmen, who believed the
gilt-edged story of the clairvoyant, paid in
$100 each to organize a company, and resolved
to begin operations at once for ore. A force
of ten men was put to work on the shaft. At
first it was supposed that silver would be found
at a depth of fifty 1
as the
When the outlook at each limit was" gloomy,
the company promptly made an assessment,
and pushed the work ahead. The shaft is now
over eighty feet deep, and the day and night
shifts of men have been Increased to fifteen.
Nothing of any value has yet been found.
The New Version of the Rible.
[fV-OTn the New York Tribune.]
The Rev. Dr. Philip Schaff, of the American
Committee for the Revision of the New Testa-
ment, said yesterday that the book would be
issued May 20, simultaneously in this country
and in England. As soon as issued it isexpected
that it will be extensively reprinted, a number
of houses having already announced cheap
editions. The American Bible Society can not
reprint it until there has been a change in its
constacutfott. Dr. Schaff thinks the new edi-
tion of the Kew Testament will in time entirelv
replaoe the King James version. The Amer-
ican Committee recommended some minor
alterations, which were not accepted by the
English Committee, but they will be issued in
the form of an appendix to each volume. Dr.
Schaff says these alterations are intended
merely so secure greater accuracy, and do not
embrace anything that can be regarded as
touehing doctrinal points. For instance, the
Americans recommend the use of the word
grain" for "corn," the latter term being
generally acoepted now as meaning Indian
corn, of which there is none raised in Pales
tine. The English Committee, however, ad
hered to the term " corn," and also to old
ways of spelling, which the American Com
mittee proposed to alter. These were the
points in dispute.
An 17nauspecting Emigrant.
L-FVom the Chattanooga Times.]
Thomas G-reer, accompanied by his wife,
two children and his father, arrived in the
city yesterday evening, en route to their home
in Grayson county, Virginia, from Texas. A
they could not leave until 7:30 p. m., the
father and son spent the time about the depot
admiring the various improvements, etc.
While engaged thus the young man was
approached by a negro, who, calling him
aside, stated that if he wished to buy
cheap ticket, he could sell him one,
Greer readily agreed, and the negro
started off, telling him to follow. He fool
ishly consented, and followed his guide
into the large commons between the tannery
and the Wasoc Car Works, fully a mile from
the depot, where they were joined by another
negro. The negroes suggested a three-card
monte game, but the emigrant objected
whereupon one of the thieves demanded his
money. He at first denied having any, but
they then began threatening his life, and fear
ing they would execute their threats, the place
being lonelv and deserted, he gave them $40,
and was allowed to go his way. There is no
clew to the bold thieves. The young man who
was so easily gulled, and would follow an un
known negro for a mile to a lonely spot, de-
serves no better fate.

for many years an honored citizen of this

in money. Mr. Taylor on reaching home spent
but a few days, and then told his friends ha
was gdlng back to Texas. He went to Nash-
ville, as they thought, on his way back, but
took a boat and went up the river. The boat
touched at a landing, and when pushed off Mr.
Taylor sprang overboard and swam ashore.
He worked his way to a cousin's house, from
whom he purchased a fine horse, and
night about 12 o'clock left, as he said, for
tress county. Here he stayed in one neighbor-
hood for twelve or fourteen days, and was
indiscreet in the way he showed his money
and talked of purchasing cattle, etc. Ha
called himself while there by his middle name,
which was Young. Nothing was seen of him
for some time, till, finally, an old gentleman,
while out hunting, found his dead body and
his horse near by. His throat was cut, as
well as that of his "horse. Two brothers by the
name of Cook are now in jail awaiting trial
for the murder. The evidence of their guilt is
very strong. The theory is that they murder-
ed him while asleep in their house, and con-
cealed the body where it was found. Mr.
Taylor's friends believe that he was insane.

Mt. Vernon Herald: One night last week,
while Mr. Langston's family were at supper,
some dastard, whom no one saw, emptied a
bottle of strychnine into their water-backet.
On returning from supper old Mr. Langston,
two members of his family and a hired man
drank of the water, but finding it very bitter
did not drink much. They became sick" imme-
diately and sent for Dr. Doney, who, upon
examining the water, said that it was impreg-
nated with poison. Two teaspoonfuls of tna
water were given to a cat and it was thrown
into convulsions immediately. Dr. Doney said
there was enough strychnine in the water, if
iroperly administered, to kill 1000 people.
Etowever, none of the family died, btrt wera
very sick through the night. No suspicion ex-
ists as to who did the treacherous act.
