The Guiteau Trial.— And still itcontinues. 
On Monday the prisoner was put on the wit¬ 
ness stand to identify certain letters that he 
had w ritten, and on Tuesday his regular ex¬ 
amination began. Several experts in insanity 
watched, and listened to Guiteau very atten¬ 
tively to discover any signs of insanity. 
Judge Porter for the prosecution, conducted 
the cross-examination of Guiteau. Through¬ 
out the prisoner insisted on making the Deity 
responsible for his act, and under all the 
severe questioning of Judge Porter he never 
deserted the position he had taken on the 
question of his own responsibilty. Whenever 
the words “murder,” “malice” “intent to 
kill” were introduced the prisoner almost in¬ 
variably refused to reply. On Friday the 
cross examintion was closed. Though G uiteau 
was driven to the wall several times by the 
sharp questioning of Judge Porter, he main¬ 
tained to the end that the responsibility was 
God’s not his own. Mr. Scovillo then pro¬ 
ceeded with the re direct examination of 
Guiteau and other w itnesses. 
A silver star marks the spot on the floor of 
the Baltimore and Potomac Railway station 
where President Garfield fell when shot. A 
beautifully carved marble tablet was placed 
on the wall above it on Wednesday. An eagle, 
holding in its claws arrows and laurels sur¬ 
mounts the stone, on which is inscribed: 
“ James Abram Garfield, President of the 
United States, shot July 2,1881.” 
At Rock Island, Ill., the coroner’s jury in 
the ease of the steamer Jennie Gilchrist 
wrecked a short time since, finds that the boat 
was run at night in violation of law-. She 
was properly equipped, and the engineer did 
his duty, yet the master and pilot were in¬ 
competent. There was no lookout required 
by law and no word was sent to the passen¬ 
gers of their danger, and no efforts made to 
save helpless women. The action of the mate, 
James Heir, in not making an effort to save 
the women and children is denounced as 
cowardly. The jury declares the duties of 
master and pilot should not be vested in one 
person on any steamer authorized to carry 
passengers. 
At Decatur, Texas, the court house burned, 
Monday; loss $15,000. All the cattle brand 
records of the county were destroyed. It is 
feared this will throw the cattle business into 
inextricable confusion and lead to many 
crimes of violence. It is suspected that the 
fire was started by persons interested in hav¬ 
ing certain brand records lost. 
A memorial of the late Thomas A. Scott is 
to be raised in Philadelphia in the shape of a 
handsome church, the pews, of which are to

“Doing Wonders for ITIe ” 
A lady at Royalton, Yt., says, after using 
Compound Oxygen for three weeks: “I was 
very weak and low when I first inhaled. 1 had 
to be helped to rise from the bed, and could 
only sit iu the chair while inhaling. The sec¬ 
ond night after inhaling I rested better than I 
have for two years. Ever since, I have gone 
to sleep early; rested well and waked early, 
feeling rested and refreshed. Have been gain¬ 
ing in strength; can now walk about some, 
and sit up nearly half the time. 1 rode two 
miles on Saturday, and was not ns tired as I 
expected to be. My friends think it is doing 
wonder's for me.” Treatise on Compound 
Oxygen, sent free. Drs, Starkey & Taken,

ing off in the hist. Cattle and hogs in good 
supply. Receipts of hogs for Nov. 250,000 less 
than for Nov. last year.Detroit. Mich ; 
Cold weather has made country traveling hot¬ 
ter and augumented interior traffic. Prices 
of staples firm and likely to be. November 
was in wheat the biggest speculative month 
of the year, sales of options aggregating 12 ,- 
800,000 bushels. The month’s receipts were 
the smallest reported, being 510 ears against 
2,600 lust year. Receipts of corn and oats 
were the Largest in five years. 
Milwaukee, Wis.—Rainy weather and very 
bad roads still continue to materially retard 
the shipment of merchandise and crops. 
Wheat market unsettled and prices have been 
fluctuating sharply: Receipts and shipments 
of grain very light. The majority of mills 
continue idle. No, 2 Milwaukee Soft wheat

Mo.—Excellent weather during the past week 
has enlivened all sorts of business. Provision 
market beginning to show strength. Pack¬ 
ing hogs have sold slowly on account of warm 
weather; but the present cold weather has 
made the hog trade brisker. Cattle market 
still dull. Grain is tending upward and flour 
is a trifle higher. Tobacco very quiet. Prices 
compared with last year’s are good, A few 
comparisons:—Twelve months ago medium, 
wrapping leaf tobacco was worth $9.50@. 
$12.50; now it sells for ?15(J$18_ Choice 
flour stood at $4.90<g.5,05; now it brings

same now as then. Choice mutton sheep Mien,

now, $ 6.10 . 
Minneapolis, Minn.: Weather a decided im¬ 
provement on that in any former week in two 
months. Ground frozen solid and country 
roads in fine condition, causing, a free move¬ 
ment of country produce. Condition of wheat 
iu elevatois unsatisfactory, A large percent¬ 
age will not inspect at as high grade as the 
receipts issued. Calls for heavy losses will 
fall on somebody, owing to lax inspection 
when received aud dm up weather, which pre¬ 
vented curing in store. Buyers refuse to pur¬ 
chase warehouse receipts. Good, sound wheat 
iu demand. Other produce moving freely at 
high prices. An increased number of hogs 
are being marketed at high figures, and these 
sales with others put a great deal of money in 
the hands of producers. Flouring mills more 
than two th 1 ms shut down, reducing the daily 
production of flour to about 8,(Hill barrels. At 
4 o’clock yesterday (Sunday) morning a lire 
broke out at the Pillsbury flouring mill, de¬ 
stroying that as well as the Excelsior, the 
Minneapolis and the Empire mills, together 
with a cotton mill. Capacity of the burnt 
mills, 2,500 barrels a day; that of all the mills 
here, 25,000 barrels a day. Total loss about 
$416,000. Four men certainly killed and at 
least five severely hurt....

a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil will cure it, as every¬ 
body knows.—Columbus (Ohio) Daily Times.

Ilofs. The I'roducers’ Price Current says: "The 
market Is decidedly dull; brewers continue indiffer¬ 
ent and exporters are not Iu the market. Some lots 
are arriving on commission aud ottering at current 
rates but cannot be sold without naming conces¬ 
sions. Some lots of German hops arrive und as the 
continental markets are reported lower there Is 
some apprehension of farther considerable arrivals. 
Loudon moil advices to Nov 15 report strictly choice 
American In small supply uml fair demand; £ 88 s. 
obtained in a few rare instances. Shipments of 
strictly choice are advised, and of sound useful low 
grades to be used in place of old, which are very 
scarce. Grades a little below choice wilt, it is 
thought, find sLow sale."
