Commerce Commissioner BragR. , .
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Washington, D. C. Aug. 21. The
amount of 4J per cent, bonds continued
-at2ter cent, to date is $20,175,250.
There are about $3,000,000 of 4J per
cent, still held by the National banics

The Treasury cash balance to-day is
stated at $155,641,538 of which $16,700.-
000 is on deposit with National banks
and $19,000,000 is in subsidiary coin.
Exclusive of the&e two items and of one

twenty million dollars, showing a very
large increase during the last month.

"Washington, Aug. 21. Inter-State
Commerce Commissioner Walter. L.
Brassr, of Alabama, died this afternoon
at Spring Lake, New Jersey, where he
had gone ior a brief period ot relaxa
tion. No specific ailment is stated as
having caused nis death -in the brief
telegraphic announcement from Bragg's
son to Secretary Moseley of the Com
mission. Commissioner Bragg has been
failing, however, for two years past.
He was wounded during the recent
war between the States, m which he
was an officer in the Confederate army,
and to this wound, and the great expo
sure to which he was subjected, Bragg
has attributed his constant ailments
during recent, years. His death, how
ever, was entirely unexpected by his
associates, by whom he was greatly re
spected and valued. He was a most
arduous worker and even during the
period of relaxation which he had
sought at Spring Lake, he had been
constantly engaged in the work of the
Commission.
THE WARDEN MURDER.
. ALmy, the Murderer, Formally Committed.
to Jail.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Hanover, N. H., Aug. 21. Judge
Cobb, of the Police Court; "with Attor
ney -General Barnard and Solicitor
Mitchell, accompanied by citizens, went
to Almy's room in the Wheelock house
this morning to conduct the preliminary
examination ot the murderer. Almy,
in reply to Attorney General Barnard's
question as to how he felt, said he had
- not any sleep and was in pain all night.
The complaint against the murderer,
which was in the customary form, was
sjgned by N. A. Frost, and was read to
Almy as he lay on his cot. When asked
to plead, he hesitated and said, "I don't
know what to .do." Turning to Sheriff
Foster, a near neighbor of the Warden
family with whom he was well acquaint
ed, he inquired: "What would you do,
Henry?" Foster replied: "I don't
know, Frank," Attorney General Bar
nard then suggested that it was - always
safe to plead "not guilty" and in that
way his plea stands recorded. He waiv
ed examination and was committed
without bail.
It was learned from physicians that
the pain ofwJxich Almy complained was
. - morronTapples of which he had so
raveneously eaten and which tempted
him from his hiding place in Warden's
barn Wednesday, night, than from his
wound. Though he did not sleep, he
was apparently much rested and he
looks brighter.

Paris, August 21. Additional details
received here this morning from St.

here announce that 218 I people have
been killed in the coast towns - alone.

CHICAGO MARKET! REVIEW.
Fluctuations in Prices of Grain and
Provisions.)
By Telegraph to the Morning Star. -
Chicago, Aug. 21. In the wheat pit
to-day the bulls made several attempts to
secure higher prices but were met every
time with a deluge of wheat from the
longs. Great exports and clearances.
strong cables and rumors of a proba
ble removal of German j duties, were
new advices of importance. Free of
ferings of corn gave impression that the
alleged clique of New Yorkers was en
deavoring to unload and caused a severe
slump in prices, Tendency to take
up October option was also a disturb
ing factor in the September future.
Uats were very mucn unsettld. Kye

sales of December were at $1.08
though a few late changed hands at
$1.09. Free realizing by "longs," how
ever, soon started prices on the down
grade. .Foreign adyices caused a wild
rush to sell, which "eventually resulted
in a drop of 3c from the start. Decem
ber went off to $1.05 V. Early in the
last hour of the session Dec. wheat went
to $1.07J, weakened and closed at
$1.05 or lc under yesterday's closing

Corn opened slightly higher with

was apparently regarded as a good op
portunity for sales and prices quickly
slid down to 65c There was a recov

MINE DISASTER.
Terrific Explosion of Giant Powder Eight
or SCore Lives Lost.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Burke, Idaho, August 21 Two hun
dred pounds of giant powder exploded at
teh mouth of the lower tunnel of theBlack
Bear mine near here Wednesday, with
terrible effect. Four men were imprison
ed at the breadth of the drift by rock
which caved- in and were suffocated.
The bodies of four other miners are not
yet found, but all hope of finding them
alive has been given up. The explosion
was terrific, tearing up the earth and
caving in the tunnel for a distance of
one hundred feet. Just how the explo
sion occurred cannot . be ascertained,
but it is supposed a lighted candle or
fire from a pipe dropped anto the dox
containing powder or fuse by some one
passing was the cause.

COTTON.
The New York Futures Uarket Yesterday.
. By Telegraph to the Morning Star,
New York, Aug. 21. The Sun's cot
ton circular says: '
Cotton futures were very unsettled
all day; opened at a smart advance in
response to dearer -reports-from Liver
pool, presently declined under sales to
realize, made a fresh advance on buying
orders by telegraph, then again weak
ened, dosing steady at 2 to 4 points ad
vance from yesterday's closing prices. It
could not be claimed that Liverpool dis
appointed our bulls for futures as that
market made an advance equal to 9 of
of our points, and fully maintained it.
But there seems to be no higher aim
among our room traders than to get a
"scalp" as opportunity may offer. Con
sequently they sold freely at the open
ing prices, and a decline soon followed.
The rally was due to the echo of Liver
pool market from out of town points.
When this support was withdrawn prices
again gave way. -
