WILMINGTON, N. C. Thursday Morkiso, Oct. 15, 1896 " GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. When IrreKDltr and Cloeed Lower Corn and Oaia Declined Pork Pro dnota Cloaed Lower. , By Telegraph to die Uoroing Star. Chicago. October 14. Wheat prieei were tubjccted to some wild gyrations to-day, bat throughout the entire ei ten there was hesitation in the tone and lack of enthusiasm on the boll side. There was no authentic re on which to boom prices; in f2Ct, the trend ol the information was the other way. In the last fifteen minutes there was a flurry, when a sharp bulge of one cent, followed by a break of equal proportions, took place. It was said that New York had cargoes for India, but the report lacked verification. December wheat opened at 70&a70?c. sold between 71 and 69U69Mc, closicgat 69K69Jc C under yesterday. v Corn showed agreement with the mo tion of wheat. May corn opened from 28fla282c. declined to 27&c. closing at 8iic He under yesterday. Cash com ruied eesr and about lie lower. Oiti At the opening oats took stiength and vigor trom the adpining pits, but lost it when weakness as sumed control of the situation. May oats closed He under yesterday. Cash oats were easy at a decline of Jsf c, Provisoes The support was with' drawn from products riht at the open ine this morning, and prices fell away sharply. A decline of 6c in hog values was ostensibly the immediate factor. At the close January Dark was 25c nnder yesterday, and January lard and ribs were each 27Jc lower. TRAIN ROBBERS.

Salt Lake City, Utah, October 14 The Union Pacific train due here at 3.15 this afternoon, Wednesday morning was held up a short distance from Unin- tah at the mouth of Waer canon, and about eight miles from Ogden. A train was made up at Ogden and sent to the scene of the robbery and orders were given to organize a posse and ran the robbers down. The passengers were not moietsed, the rotjDers cannmog.tneir op erations to the mail and express cars. Rill way officials report; that all the booty s '.cured was a fe mail bags, but whetber or not these contained any val uables is not known. The robbers, two tn nuner boarded the train at Peter-, sm. a jsmUi suticn in tee .heart of We&tr canoo. The roabers surprised the engineer by suddenly using up from behind the tank and covering bim with a gun. They gave the fireman a cotton tack and told him to put it over his head. The en gineer was then told to run along until ordered to stop. A few seconds later the robber on the engine had been joined by another and the train was or dered stopped. The engineer was then oraerea to point out tne express car! which ce uia, ana wunc tuc micnuua ui the1 robbers was distracted, be ran to Unintah and gave the alarm. The bag gage and express cars were uncoupled and ran ahead of the train . for some three hundred yards and both the mail and express cars were broken open. The robbers failed, however, to get sale.

The Sun says: Spot cotton here declined half a cent. Middling uplands quoted at 7 1516. Liverpool was unchanged on spot, with sales of 14 000 bales. Futures Jhere declined three and a half to tour points. The decline to day was due principal ly to. sympathy with Liverpool. Prices there weakened on the undertone of straddles. Liverpool and the South sold, and kcil operators who recently bought turned sellers and in the absence of buy ers prices gave way. There was a rally at one time on the semi-weekly statement of receipts showing a falling off in the movement but prices soon weakened again on renewed selling and slowly de clined, closing at about the lowest figures,of the day. The semi-weekly re ceipts at thirteen leading interior towns were 116,800 bales. The Whole Story of the wonderful cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla is soon told.

TRAVELLED FOUR HUNDRED MILE8 AND MADE A DOZEN 8PEECHE8 To Mm ins People in the Stronteat District in lleajianoe to the BepobHoan Party Spoke to laarfe Andieneee end Was Greeted With Xnifcntiasn at Many Plaoee. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Watkrsmiet, Mich., October 14. Candidate Bryan's special train travelled from Duluth through Minnesota and Wisconsin all night, and after laying for three hours this morning on a siding near Saxon, resumed its travels at 8 o'clock. The train consisted of four cars, one for baggage and another for the train crew, the third for the use of the party of well-known Michigan peo ple accompanying Mr. Bryan, and the last special coach for the candidate's use. The train will remain intact until Detroit is reached Sunday. When the train reached Ironwood, a lively little town in the Michigan 'min ing belt at 8 45, the candidate opened up his four days of Michigan campaign ing. People from the surrounding coun try bad driven in to loin the Ironwood .folks in welcoming the head of the Chi cago ticket, and tne congregation in tne sauare where Mr. Bryan spoke num bered at least 2.500. A fifteen minutes' soeech was made by the candidate from a temporary stand, and then the train moved to Bessemer, where it arrived at 915. A crowd of about the same pro portions as that at Ironwood was gath ered about the platform from which Mr, Bryan spoke. He made one of his short talks about free coinage, taking no new line of areument. At 9 40 the train pulled out for Watersmeet, "The national bank system is what we re interested in here, shouted a man in the crowd of couple of hundred people who had gathered cn the plat form at Watersmeet to hear Mr. Bryan. Watersmeet is a little railroad innction in the midst of a wide expanse of bnrned and otherwise denuded forest.and during the five minutes spent there Mr. Bryan endeavored to answer the man whose interest lay in the national bank. "The difference between our plan and the na tional bank plan is this," he said, "we have greenbacks out now, and these greenbacks draw no interest and the Government pays none. When you re tire these greenbacks with an issue of bonds and then let the banks issue money on the bonds, the banks will then draw from the people ot the country tne interest which the people now have. It is good for the banks but hard on the people." The famiilar sight of sixteen littie girls in white and one in yellow greeted the Democratic nominee at Iron River and the pretty Miss who represented the gold standard" bore a banner inscribed "10 to 1 and j prosperity." . A boat ' 800 people were at Iron Rier andMcKinley badges were pinned on a goodly portion ot them. The Republican contingent kept very q net, however, anJ Mr. Bryan made no reference to tbe;r presence. A little farther down the road, however, he did have something to say about the sup porters of his opponent. The train took a little side jump from Michigan into Wisconsin, and it was at Florence, in the latter State tbat the comments of the candidate were called forth. He bad not finished his little talk about the sil ver question when somebody called for three cheers for McKinley. They were given with considerable vigor, and a laugh went np from the crowd. "I have no objection." said Mr. Bryan, "to a man cheering for McKinley, but I only wish tbat a man w this country is not big tend toils own bntinesi ;r ld out it on bis nat, sJtne people would know who he was. We have no right to complain if a'pan thinks more ot foreign nations thai be does of America, but he ought not to be ashamed to say so.' ' The half hour spent by Mr. Bryan at Iron Mountain had an additional inter est to both candidate and audience from the fact that Marcus A. Hanna has mining interests in the vicinity and is a large shipper of ore trom that piace. A large number of miners In their working clothes lined the railroad track as the train drew Into the station. Around the stand erected tor Mr. Bryan's accommodation, a few feet from where the train came to a standstill. 1 500 people bad assem bled and Mr. Bryan was cheered as be? ascended the stand with Mrs. Bryan, D. G. Campauand Timothy Tarsnay. Mr. Hanna's association with the little city brought no direct reference from Mr. Bryan, but in the course of his remarks he said: "You say it is a good thing for the laboring man to be paid in dol lars which buy a good deal ? Remem ber that the laboring man is interested more in getting a chance to work than he is interested in the pay tbat be gets when be does work. The gold standard increases the number of idle men and the idle man is a menace to every man who has employment, and the laboring men of this country understand that, because the laboring men of this coun try are demanding the opening of our mints and the restoration of free coinage at 16 to 1, and I would rather trust those laboring men to know what is good for them than to trust the men who have spent their iives trying to destroy labor organizations. My friends, the. Bible tells ns that a tree is known by its fruits. These men who stand at the head of the gold crnsade are pot new men in this country. They have lived here. They are trees which have been bearing fruit lo these many years and if you judge these men by the fruit they have borne you can telt what fruit they will bear." At 2 80 the Bryan special reached Nor way, another mining town. In a short speech from the rear platform of the train Mr. Bryan made reference to those who have tried to destroy labor organi zations similar to that made at Iron Mountain. Four hundred of the people of Powers heard the candidate deliver a brief speech, which contained some new featurtir He said: ' I notice that the other day onebf the Democrats who has left the Democratic party said that we are not giving the liberty to the indi vidual tbat we ought to; that when we say that a man cannot contract for a particular kind ot money we are taking away his personal liberty. My friends, you have usury laws. Those laws inter fere with personal liberty, but what kind of liberty is it that they interfere with ? It is the liberty tbat the man who loans money has to oppress those who borrow money, and the fact that we have to have usury laws shows that there is that In bnman nature which must be restrained. Our con tention tbat the laws ought to prohibit making our contracts in a particular kind of money. our,contentlon that the law ought to prevent a man demonetiz ing by contract that which the Govern ment makes money by law, is based upon exactly the same principle. (Cheers) The dollar that is good for ninety-nine people is good enough for the other hundredth man. The dollar that is good enough for the laboring man and the farmer is good enough for the banker and the . money . len der when they loan money. My friends, show me a man who believes tbat the man who loans money ought to be allowed to demonetize bv con tract that which the law has declared to be money,! and I will show yon a man who thinks that the right of the creditor is more sacred than the right of the debtor, and show me men who believe that the creditor's right is more sacred than the right of the debtor, and I will show you a man who needs to read again the Declaration of Independence and find that all men are created equal." Mr. Bryan alio said: "Yon take a coal trust for instance tbat wants to liye si it is living now, to that it can raise the price of coal whenever it wants- to, and you will find tbat the coal trust becomes very patriotic the moment ycu attempt to interfere with its business." fdASouxTTE. Mich., October l. The throng that bad assembled at Esca- noba, another of Mr. rianna s shipping points, was so large that the Bryan spe cial was held there twenty-nve minutes ia order to give the Democratic candi date more time to make an address. Fully 5,000 people were gathered in an open field near the railway station when the train arrived at 4 15. At Isfapemmg the train arrived st 40. Mr. Bryan addressed 8.000 people from the porch of a hotel.: He was fol lowed by ex Congressman Tarsney and Mayor Andrews, and the speaking was just over when a procession of McKin ley and Hobart clubs marched past the hotel, the band playing loudly and the followers cheering for their candidates. No clash occurred. Another large audience, numbering probably 3,000, was at Negaunee, and the Democratic national nominee was heartily received. He made a short address, and at 8 o'clock the train pulled out for Marquette, where it arrived at 8 50. The lines of a crooked walking-stick. with a flange at the end of the crook, resembled in shape the route taken by William J. Bryan to day tn his progress through the upper peninsula of Michi gan. His course lay partly along region interesting in its desoiutlon, past miles and miles of forest laid bare by lnmbermen, by fire and storm, and through towns and hamlets supported by the iron and coal interests ol the sec lion. From the time he left Duluth last night until he reached Maiquette the candidate travelled 400 miles, and at 10 o'clock he left Marquette for another all night run to Mackinaw City, where his second day of campaigning in the Wol verine State will beeln. Between the commencement ot bis speech-making at Ironwood, early In the , morning, until he called a halt on the day s work at Marquette, Mr. Bryan made a dozen addresses. He talked -principally for the benefit of the mining people, The region traversed is the strongest tn allegiance to the Republican party and the itinerary provided for a tbor ough canvass of it by Mr. Bryan. His audiences were of good size and some of them showed considerable enthusiasm. The largest crowds were at Iron Moun tain, Escanaba, Isbpemmg and Mar queue. ' Mr. Bryan spoke for an hour to-night to an audience of about 0 000 people as sembled in front of the railway depot. OPPOSED TO FUSION.

A TOWN LOOTED, Balded and Bobbed by Gang of Maiked Men Buildings . Set on Fire , and 8 tores Bobbed. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 14. -A gang of masked men looted the little town of Percoia, in Henry county, early this morning. The citizens were awakened at 4 o'clock by the sound of an explo sion and the firing of gnns and revol vers. Those residents who were arring enough to leave their houses were warned to return under pain of death. In order to intimidate the people, the gang kept up an incessant discbarge of their firearms. There were eight men in the party and all were heavily masked. After robbing a number of stores the gang set fire to several buildings and then fled to the country. After the fires had been subdued a posse was formed and started in pursuit of the marauders. The exact amount of money and valu ables secured by the gang is not known, but it is e timated tbat they got away with at least $3,000 in money. U t?. STEAMER BANCROFT Will Go to Constantinople But Haa Not Been Ordered to Force Passage of the Dardenellei. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, October 14. The little dispatch boat Bancroft, of the U. S. Navy, now about due at Smyrna, has not been ordered to force a passage through the Dardenelles, with or without foreign aid. This can be stated on tbe direct authority of the President of the United States. There is no doubt that the Bancroft is going straight to Constanti nople, just as fast as her steam can carry her, or just as soon as Minister Terrell makes a request upon Admiral Selfndge for her services as a guard boat or dis patch boat, in the same capacity as simi lar light-draught and light-armored dis patch boats that are placed at tbe service ot friendly nations. But that any forci ble passage of the Dardenelles is in con templation by the United States, with or without European support, can be set down as simply an attempt to exaggerate the news originally given in these dis patches.

A Blrdhouse on a Mountain Top. On tho northern slope of Mount Tamal pals, in plain sight of ouoof the numerous trails leading up from Boss valley, is one of tho most interesting looking birdhouses to be found anywhero. The miniature house Itself is not so unusual looking, but its position is so strange one involuntarily askft) "How did it get there?" , The liny struct re is fastened to the top of ope of the highest pine trees in the vi cinity. The tree is dead, and perhaps has been for some time. The top is at least 70 feet from the ground. The trunk is very slender, and, evairuf the tree were young and spriDgy, it would not support a man so that he could climb to the top and nail tho blrdhouse in place. ' How long the blrdhouse has been in its present position is another question hardly possible to answer. It looks weather worn, but seems to be in good condition other wise. The supports that fasten it to the tree are apparently strong enough to hold it in its present position for a long time. Nobody living in the vicinity knows anything about the origin of the bird houso. Some say it has been there for 20 years, and others say only a short time. There seems but one solution of the way in which it got into its present lofty posi tion, and that is tbat a number of years ago, when the pine tree was younger, an other tree grew close to It, up which some body climbed and fastened the birdhouse in place. The tree that was used .as a lad der was afterward out down. The quaint old - structure on its lofty perch always seems to have tenants. San Franoisoo Call.

' Gladness Comes With a better rnderstanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant tiff orts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts.
