WILMINGTON. N. C. Friday Morning, Aug. 14, 1896 GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Wheat CI -.led Highet Corn Lower-Oata Finn t Better Pticea Pork .. Podnot Higher. By Telegraph to the Morning Stat. Chicago, August 13. Wheat The prospect that deliveries in September wcu'd be heavy was not a promising cutlook and tended to render the selling very pronounced. Relative to these de liveries a prominent operator said: Tnere is about twelve million bushels of contract wheat in regular bouses in Chicago, but oyer half of it is in houses made regular in July, and the receipts being dated previous to that time are not regular for dehvjry now and will probably not be changed to an impor tant extent for September contracts. This phase of the situation dawned on the minds of traders later in the session, effecting a more confident tone, and with the reassured feeling a prompt re covery was inaugurated, prices event ually . rising above last night's closing figures. September wheat opened at 64c. sold at 5355c. closing at 65M55 c higher than yes terday. Cash wheat was easy . early but closed firm. September corn opened at 23c, de clined to 22JB'c. closing at 22 c, He under yesterday. Cash corn was rather weak early but became firmer towards the close, final prices being nominally unchanged from yesterday. Oats The oats market displayed more firmness than either of its impor tant neighbors, wheat and corn. Sep tember closed c higher than yester day. Cash oats closed at steady prices. Provisions The rally of wheat at the opening of that maiket acted as a stim ulant to values in product, notwith standing a weak hog market. With the alteration in grain later, the sustaining force was withdrawn and the strength disappeared. Towards the close a re covery occurred, the rally in wheat in fluencing it. September pork closed 17Jc higher, September lard and ribs each 7c higher. - . POPULIST PLATFORM Adopted by the Bute Convention at " ' Baleigh. . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Raleigh, August 13. The platform adopted by tbe Populist Convention reaffirms the present county government and election laws; calls on the Legisla ture to exercise the power reserved by the State to make all United States coins legal tender, and pass an appropri ate law. such coins to include trade dol lars, forbidding gold notes being taken; pledging the continuance ol istx per cent, interest; pledging lurtber and to public schools and more competent supervi sion of them; declares for an unpartisan judiciary; favors reformatories for young criminals; condemns tne uemocrauc ad ministration for failure to execute the anti-trust laws; condemns the secret methods of the lease of the North Car olina Railway to the Southern Railway by the Democratic party; calls for legis lation forbidding charters to lines of railway competing with the present main lines, and calls for a reduction of the salaries of State officers. SPOTS AND FUTURES. Hew Tork San'- Beview of the Cotton Market. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, August 13.-The Sun says: Cotton opened unchanged to four points higher, reacted and declined fi e to nine points, recovered the loss and advanced, closing steady at a net ad vance for the day of twelve to sixteen points, with sales of 213,300 bales. Cotton causer v: Reoorts of rain in various parts of Texas, Mississippi, Ala bama and Louisiana caused a sharp break in prices after the opening. But it was in the main a weather market, and wnen the official weather report was received showing that the precipitation in the Southwest had been very light and scattered, prices quickly rallied and a sharp advance ensued. Reports of damage to the crop continue to be re ceived. The signal service predicted generally fair weather , for the next thirty-six hours. German bouses bought freely and the better feeling in Wall street caused the tone to strengthen. COMMITTED SUlCIDE.1 A Bank Caahter Who Wm Discovered to Be Short in His Aooounti .

BRYAN ANcTsEWALL With Mr. Bryan Held a Bsoeptijn at the Windsor Hotel. ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, "August 13.-Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were at home to visitors in the ladles' parlor of the Windsor Hotel this morning. The time set for the re ception was 11 o'clock, but it was half an hour later before the Presidential candidate and his wife, accompanied by Mr. St. John, drove up to the hotel in an open carriage and were shown to the reception room on the first floor, facing Fifth avenue. Mr. Bryan slept well at Mr. St. John's house last night, despite the excitement. of the meeting at Bartholdi and at Mad ison Square Garden. He breakfasted at 8.30 o'clock this morning and then de voted an hour to going through his mail. It took two letter carriers to deliver the. mail. - At 10 o'clock Mr. St. John summoned Mr. Bryan to a conference with Senator Tillman of South Carolina, ex-Senator Walsh of Georgia. Senator Blackburn of Kentucky and Representative Benton McMillan of Tennessee. After the conference the start was made for the Windsor Hotel. There was no demonstration of any sort when Mr. Bryan and party arrived at the Windsor. The. mismanagement so much in evidence i at last night's big meeting, was again conspicuous. There was no one in authority to meet the party and for a moment they stood in the entrance of the hotel at a loss where to go. Mr. Sewall, who was waiting in the corridor, relieved the strain by pointing toward tbe stairs, and Mr. St. John led the way. The receiving party took up positions on tbe floor of tbe parlor and an attendant descended to the hall and announced that ' Mr. and Mrs. Brvan are now receiving." Mrs. Bryan stood between her husband and Mr. Sewall. She wore a dress of black flowered silk, with a short jacket, the reverse of which, trimmed with jet beads, were thrown open, showing a front of white crepe. Mr. Bryan wore his well-described suit of black and al paca coat. His necktie was of black and white cotton check. Mr. Sewall looked uncomfortably warm in a black frock coat, checked trousers, and patent leather shoes. The programme announced by Mr. St. John was that there should be no hand-shaking. That promise was disre garded. Every one of the four hun dred or more who attended the recep tion shook hands with eaeh ot the three. The reception lasted less than an hour. Mr. St. John said to-day that Mr. Bryan was very much pleased with the attendance at the Madison" Square Garden meeting, and reearded it as a tremendous success. From 12 80 to 1.30 o'clock Mr. Bryan inlormallv re ceived the members of the National Committee and of the Notification Com mittee at the Windsor Hotel.

Pittsburg, August 13, The dark ness that lowered over Pittsburg about 8 o'clock this morning was scarcely ever surpassed. For a short time the busi . nart nf the citv was almost as dark as at midnight, and not a few timid peo ple were appinea at tne unnatural spec tacle. This was followed by an electric storm quite as terrifying, and by aheavv rainfall wnicn continued uuiu noun, iuc rainfall measuring 1.85. All over the r-it a n were - filled to oveiflwing and accumulations of mud and debris covered the streets. All ot tne traction tinea were hroneht to a stand still, but aside from this no serious injury to life or property has oeen reported, t ne Pittsburg ana western nnage at noc rireeir aa well aa nne or two othets were -, swept away, while portions of the tracks were wasnea out in a numucr ui p'aces. Dwellings, stables, fences and many domestic animals were carried off by the rushing waters. Tsrtinna nf Sharnshurer and ALinA were flooded, and much damage to pro perty were aone. . There was a cloud-burst at the ham let of Dehaven, on the Pittsburg & Weatem Rallwav. seven miles from this city, and a number of lives were reported lost. ' Later reports reduce tbe list of fatal ities to three, all of whom were women. The rlmiH.hnrat neenrred at the iunC- tion of Laurel Head and-Pine Creek, where tbe residences ot James Kooin son and Mrs. Auld were situated.' Tbe home of Mrs. Auld was carried from the foundations and wrecked in the torrent. The Robinson house was carried away at the same moment. Robinson saved himself and two children by jumping with them into the water and wading out. The house was wrecked when it came in collision with the bridge, fifty yards below, and his wife and mother-in-law were thrown into the stream and perished NAVAL ENGINEERS Phyiioally TJor gaal to the Exoitiog Daties on the Sew TJ. 8. Battleship!. By Telegraph to the Mo rning Star. Washington,- August 18. The alarming news received to-day at the Navy Department telling of the physi cal collapse of Chief Eogtneer George E. Tower and Passed Assistant Engi neer Andrew McAlister, both of the battleship, Indiana, gave rise in' the minds of naval officers on duty here to the question. whether in the case of our warships the danger line bad not been crossed in the attempt of the overwork ed naval engineers to carry on tbe ex acting du'ies required ef them. i . The North Atlantic squadron has now had only eight days of grand'mancei vres alnd during that short period the efficiency of the most powerful battle ship of the fleet has been temporarily impaired, two of the four engineers at tached to tbe veisel having been con demned by medical survey and sent to the naval hospital for treatment. "It is not surprising,," said a promi nent official to-day, 'that this repeatsd tale of the prostration of naval engineers is beard from our warships. In tbe British service' there are one-half as many engineers as deck officers, while in the American navy there are only one-fourth as many engineers as there are officers of tbe line ' The physical history of the corps of engineers," he continued, ','during tbe put two years is a sad one and it em phasizes the act that not only must tee number of engineers be increased, but their condition should be improved in order to render tbe ships efficient for the day of battle. The engineers are now working under an organization which was founded upon tbe necessities of wooden ships, but which is not adapted to vessels of steel. BUSINESS FAILURES.
