AN UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
Close of tlie Sangerfest at St. I.ouis—New
Orleans Selected as Next Place.
St. Louis, June 18.—The North American
Sangerfest has closed a week of unparal-
lelled success both musically and financially.
Yesterday morning the delegates held a na-
tional convention at Liederkranz ball, with
President Mothudy in the chair. The presi-
dent reviewed the work just completed and
extended the thanks of the St. Louis people
to the members for the musical treat. At
the conclusion of his remarks the regular
business of the meeting was taken up and a
number of unimportant changes were made
in the constitution of the sangerbund. New
Orleans was selected as the place for the
next Sangcrfest and the time set for March,
1891, on account of the climate. The oflicers of
the saengerbund will be elected at New Or-
leans within the next ninety days. Yester-
day afternoon visiting and local societies
hail a grand picnic at the Fair grounds, in
which 10,000 people took part. Notwith-
standing the Sundry closing law over 1000
kegs of beer were tapped. The law, how-
ever, was not violated, as a ticket of admis-
sion and passing through the stile were the
forms of invitation, and a 25 cent ticket
printed "Saengerbund Club" completed the
requirements of the club and admitted can-
didates to part of the benefits. Music and
daylight fireworks completed the entertain-
ment, and to-uight many clubs are home-
ward bound.

HUBBARD, PRICE & CO.'S CIRCULAR.
New York, .rune 18.—Hubbard, Price & Co.
say: Foreign advices on the whole are disap-
pointing, developing nothing calculated to af-
ford a further stimulus. Our market foroptions
opened slightly better, with an effort to stimu-
late August, but finding no response the support
was withdrawn and the market sagged off a
few points. The easier tone gave room to more
steadiness during the afternoon hours and
somo liberal buying orders came in, and
assisted by the liberal record of spot
sales partly for export, partly for
home consumption, infused a smart advance
and placed final sales 2@4 [joints above Satur-
day's prices. The principal cause of to-day's
improvement rests, however, with the coVering
of two prominent German shorts. This con-
tinued buying keeps our market firm and ad-
vancing slowly, as holders under such circum-
stances are not willing to sell, and such a
crawling tendency of the market and the up-
ward direction lias done more to'frighten the
short interest than a more rapid advance would
havo.doue.
Dry Goods- No general inquiry was present,
but a fair request for seasonable specialties,
also demand for miscellaneous classes of cotton
goods.
BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.
London, June 18.—Tho Mark Lane Express in
its weekly review of tho British grain trado
says: Supplies of English wheat are growing
less. Values aro unchanged. The sales of

at 31s7d per quarter, against 89,737 quarters at
35sld for the corresponding week last year.
Wheat crop prospects aro loss promising, but
the potato crop will bo unusually good, and
tins, together with large stocks left over, will
influonco trade in breadstuffs. Flour is 3d
cheaper. Trade in foreign wheat is slow.
At Liverpool values dropped 3d per cental,
and in business on the American plan prices

Sane, but Legally a Lunatic.
Joel Henry Wells has at length had his
disabilities removed, and by tho decree of
the court he is once more a free man. For
many years he has been, in tho eyes of tho
law, an escaped lunatic, liable to arrest and
incarceration in the state asylum, from
which he escaped.
During all these years he has lived in this
community and earned a living in a humble
way in the sight of hundreds of the best
people in the city. To all appearances be
was tho same as any of tho men with whom
ho came in daily contact, yet he was de-
barred from engaging in business by the
fact that he had not l>een formally dis-
charged from the asylum and could not
secure his discharge.
Being constructively a lunatic, he could
not for years obtain a standing in court, and
it was only after a long succession of delays
and disappointments that he could secure a
quasi toe-hold, as it were, and bring his
case to an issue. When the facts were laid
before Judge Tuley in the proper legal
form, the cloud was removed, and the hero
of a very celebrated case at last finds his
chains broken. [Chicago Herald.

Negro lioys in Trouble—Two Others Shot in
a Melon Patch—Notes.
VlCTOIilA, Tex., June 18.—For the past
two weeks John Coults, a hack driver of
this city who lives by himself on tho out-
skirts of town, has missed various articles
of wearing apparel and jewely from his
house, his work necessitating his absence
from home during the day and part of the
night. He concluded that his house was
being robbed daring his absence and on yes-
terday got a friend to secret himself in the
house and watch, The stratagem was high-
ly successful,as but a short time elapsed, un-
til two negro boys made their appearance in
the yard, and opening a window of the
house one entered while the other remained
outside to watch.
The amateur detective made an effort
bag both culprits, but they were too uirnb.
for him and made their escape for the timt.
being. They were arrested to-day and all
the stolen articles found in the house of
their parents, who professed entire igno-
rauge of how the boys came by them. Their
names are William and Aleck Alexander.
Anything like robbery or house-breaking
being ho unusual in this city, caused quite a
stir, The prisoners are very likely to servo
the state a while as a return for their enter-
prise.
Two negro youths raided a melon patch
in the suburbs a night or two since, and
each is carrying a load of bird shot distrib-
uted promiscuously about his person as a
memento of the occasion.
The heavy rains of Sunday did not slight
this section, as this locality received its full
share.
Cattle shipments to the east and north,
