EX-GOV. FLETCHER DISAPPEARS.
Missing from His Home in St. Louis Since
March 21.
A special dispatch from Ft. Louis, Mo.,
says: It appears that Thomas C. Fletcher,
ex Governor of Missouri, whose mysterious
disappearance was only mentioned yester
day, had 1 een absent from his hom« ever
since March 21. O 1 that day some of his
near frier ds say they saw him on Broad
way, but he had shaved off his bsard, and
there was such a change in his appearance
that they scarcely recognized him. Now
there are a thousand starling rumors
concerning his mysteri ns disappearince.
A clerk in the ticket < ffice at the Union
Station says he is [osilive that he sold ex-
Governor Fletcher a ticket fir Kansas City,
but the man answering to the description
given of him has only been traced to S'.
Charles, an 1 some think that the ex-Gov
ernor jumped off'the train there and foui d a
grave in the Mississippi. The detectives
are of the opinion that there is something
back of his appearance and that he has gone
to New York.
No person familiar with his haunts has
■been able to trace him to any of them. It
was at first thought that he had gone to
De Soto, Mo., where he had business and
property interests, but a gentleman arrived
from that place yesterday is emphatic in the
declaration that he has not been there re
cently. Possibly he may have gone to visit
his daughter, who lives on a ranche in the
vicinity of Colorado Springs. If so, he went
without saying anything to his family in this
city about such an intention. His friends
thought that possibly he might have had
some financial trouble, but a careful examina
tion of his books and trusts shows that there
is no ground whatever for such belief. He is
managing one estate, and every dollar of the
money belonging to it, it is claimed, is in its
proper place.
OLD-TIME MORMOMS.

WESTERN MARKETS.
THE SPECULATORS AT SEA.
The Bulls and Bears Fighting for Control
—Good Prospects Ahead.
Special Dispatch to the Daily Times.
Chicago, April 2.—The speculative
market on ’change are stili a pretty wild
deal. Foreign news is watched just as c ose
ly as heretofore but with this difference :
Recently the crowd were all “long” on the
market and under the leadership Sid Kent,
Hobbs, and McDermid were ready to push
prices up two or three points on the slight
est rumor favoring war ; now the pit traders
are generally “short” and with Nat Jones
and George Eldridge at the front they are
watching and hoping for final peace news
on which to pound the market down to hard
pan. Reports of injury to the growing
wheat are as voluminous as ever, dispatches
from twelve districts in Kansas, Nebraska
Missouri saying that 20 .70 per cent of the
crop has been killed, Hessian flv haviug
caused muct of the damage. To make
these advances now realistic
some of the bulls have got great bundles
of rools which they lig about the door and
exhibit So far this ha- had no effect bat it I
is generally believed that as soon as the war
scare is entirely subsided and peo; Is have
time to sit down and consider the crop there
will be some hardening of val tes as well as
an increase in outside buying.
We have, in addition to a badly dam
aged wheat crop —the almost remarkable
unanimity of the reports on this point
forcing a belief in them -a very largely in
creased acreage, which, bicked up by the
very low price of the staple, leaves ro m for
a material advance. Said J. H. Chandier
to-day: ‘Prices are 50 per cent below those
ruling a year ago, and large stocks will cut
but little figure when it becomes . apparent
to investors that in the end they can reap a
rich reward by paying carrying charges on
it.’
J. W. Pli-s shosays: “Now that the
war cl >ud seems likely to enrir.ly vanish
the impetus which prices will acquire in
their fall after the withdraw! of the prop,
will doub 1 ss carry them to a point bel w
their 1 v<l and from which there must oe a
quick reaction. To buy on breaks is the
safest course ”
The fact is nobody is paying any attention
to the features which ordina - ily govern the
market at this season of the year. Receipts
are 1 glut and shipments lirge, but dealers
make no note of it. Nobody seems to care
whether any more wheat is ever raised or
not. They all know there is some 20,000,
000 bushels more lying around than there
ought to be and they wonder what on earth
can be dine with it except duop it into
Lake Michigan. If trade once gets back to
a legitimate basis it will be far more satis
factory all around.
Corn is generally steady. Receipts are
increasing now which induces raiher free
selling by the bear element when the cables
are at a pacific nature, but. the large con
sumptive and export dim nd prevents
actual weakness.
Oats are developing a little more activity
but prices do not change much. McCor
mick is the leading bear, while W. G. Press
and Baker are prominent bulls.
Pork is quiet and sluggish. Many be
lieve, however, in good prospects, and on
the theory that the crowd is always wrong,
think it a better purchase now than ever.

Singular Effect of Frost.
Providence. (R. I.) Journal.
About the Ist of March a cargo of cypress
lumber of 100,000 feet, was landed at one of
the leading lumber yards of this city, and
the lumber was piled up in good order. It
happens that this kind of lumber, when
green, is very largely supplied with mois
ture and ordinarily requires considerable
time to become fully seasoned. But in warm
weather there is no difficulty in the process,
and much of the lumber is used in building.
As soon as the above mentioned cargo was
piled the weather set in severely cold, and
so continued for some time. The result was
that the moisture enclosed in the green cy
presslumber not having had time to evapo
rate, was frozen inside the timber, and the
continuance of tbe freezing caused the por
ous wood to burst so as to ruin a large part
of the cargo. Thick planks twenty feet
long have been shivered into strips, and are
fit only for fuel. Heavy joists are also
splintered from end to end. In some cases
the frost has bent the timber crosswise and
broken it. An old lumber measurer of
twenty-five years experience says that it is
the first instance of the kind ever brought
to his notice. It is fortunate that the lum
ber cun be duplicated before it will be need
ed by the builders. The Southern lumber
men will be cautious about shipping cypress
hereafter unless it is already seasoned.

A TALK WITH A COFFIN-MAKER.
‘what He Said About Fashions in Caskets
and Other Things*
“What is the latest style in coffins?”asked
a reporter this morning of a prominent un
dertaker.
“Coffins, coffins!” said the undertaker, as
if it was a word that no well regulated
funeral conductor could be expected to
know. “Oh, coffins have been out of style
for fifteen years. You mean caskets. Cas
kets have been all the go for fifteen years.
If I were to tell you that some prominent
citizens were laid out in a coffin, you would
put it in the paper as certain as fate, “cloth
covered casket” from mere force
of habit. Burial caskets sel
dom change in style except in
minor points, such as trimmings and orna
ments. In shape they are now pretty much
the same as they were thirty-five years ago.
Then they were new, and were slow to gain
popularity. Anything of that kind takes
very slowly, and" for fifteen years and more
the old-fashioned coffin held its own against
the “new fangled” casket. Some old people
still think that they would rest better in a
burial case of the same shape as that in
which their forefathers bones were placed,
and they are sometimes called for, by very
respectable people, but these are the excep
tion. The first caskets were “hinge tops;”
that is, the lid was fastened to the sides with
hinges, and worked like the top of a trunk.
Now we have the top screwed down with an
opening at the head. Sometimes the face of
the departed is screened by a glass plate
. and sometimes it is not.”
“What are caskets made of?” inquired the
reporter.
j “Oilr cloth-covered caskets are made of
oak, ash and walnut, but I don’t undertake
to say that all the caskets you see are made
of hard wood. There is room for swindling,
as you can plainly see, and the only mode of
detection is to judge by the weight, or to cut
the cl >th —still undertakers as a rule are
honorable men —just about as honorable as
ministers or doctors, and where one will take
advantage of a man and palm off on him a
cemmrn pine coffin, covered with cloth, the
majority of the profession will act squarely
with him and give him exactly what he
t pays for. A great deal of money has been
made by dishonorable undertakers who
' charged for walnut or ash and furnished
white pine.”
“Do undertakers make the caskets they
sell?”
“The leading undertakers do, but there
are lots of smaller establishments that are
supplied with caskets from factories in New
York and Pittsburg. There was several
years ago a sign on West Baltimore street
which read ‘Maryland Steam Coffin Factory.’
These factories turn out hundreds of un
trimmed coffins to which handles are put by
the undertakers, who also trim them as or
dered.”
“Is there any 1 kelihood of a change in
the style of the casket?”
“No, I think not The next change will
be to cremation. It looks as if things were
drifting that way now, but, of course, it will
take quite a while for the majority of peo
’ pie to become reconciled to the idea.”

THE CRISIS LN PARIS.
HOW THE FRENCH MINISTRY MET
ITS DOWNFALL.
Graphic Account of the Scenes in and
Around the Chamber of Deputi s
Par's, March 31.—Not since the sur
render of Sedan and the wild and tumultu
ous scenes which followed fast upon that
disaster, has there been such an ugly exhi
bition of temper in the streets of Paris as
has been witnessed here since early morn
ing. The meagre majority by which the
Government was sustained on Saturday
gave timely warning of the fate which
awaited it, and the indignant mutterings
yesterday on the streets after the spread of
the tidings of the defeat at Langson sug
gested precautions but for which there
might have been enacted counterparts of
the frightful tragedies which disfigured the
revolution of 1789, or the more bloodv orgies I
of the Commune. Rochefort and other in- I
cendiarits circulated freely among the ex- I
cited people, with advice which should i
have consigned its authors to the first Limp I
post, instead of the officials they threatened.
Groups of savage men were plied
with revi lutionary speeches by these
agitators, and the guillotine and
lanterne were dragged in at con-
venient intervals to emphasize their de
nunciations of the officials. Eirly last
night the populace was made aware that '
bodies of troops were pasted within support- j
ing distance of each other, and ready at a
moment's notice to check any unusual man
ifestation of turbulence or disorder. This
had a mollifying effect for the time being,
but the excitement increased ten-fold dur
ing the early morning. Little rivulets
poured out irom the faubourgs,and, running ;
into each other, form'd an ocean of human- i
ity in the streets leading to the Chambers j
of Deputies. Threats of violence and cries j
of treason were bandied about in the heated
discussions between the various groups into
which the mob divided.
It was known that a council was being
held to decide upon the future course of
the r-overnmen*, and the ribal I but humor
our satire which greeted any allusion to the
conference served to rtl'eve, at times, the
painful anxiety which was felt at the pres
ence of this irresponsil le Paris mob At
an early hour troops had been despatched
to guard the Chamber, and detachments of
infantry were stationed near each other in
the adjacent streets. Smail squads of cav
al -y occasionally appeared, ready for any
emergency, and several sections of artillery,
covered by the infantry supports, showed
that President Grevy did not propc se to
allow a revival of the “Commune” if it
could be avoided by proper foresight. The
troops were the recipients of all manner
of coarse abuse.
There was a respectable element in the
mob to-day seldom seen at such times —a
lavish sprinkling of workingmen weary of
the wretched fruitless, mismanagement of
the ministry, and bent on giving expression
to its indignation. As soon as the doors
were thrown open the galleries of the Cham
ber of Deputies filled with excited people,
many of whom were bent on mischief, and it
was with the utmost difficulty that the
pc lice, reinforced by the military, could pre
serve even a semblance of ordcs. The mem
bers of the Cabinet were called out by name
and plied with the most opprobrious terms.
Prime Minister Ferry for a few moments
seemed daz d by the storm <>f abuse and the
wild confusion which reignid in the cham
ber. He quickly recovered himself, how
ever, and announced in a firm voice the de
cision of the government. A credit of
200,000,000 francs must be voted immediately
he said, and effective reinforcements must
be despatched to the brave men who were
maintaining the honor of France against
immense odds in Tonquin and China. The
honor of the French nation was involved,
and there must be no patlsying and no de
lay. He read the dispatches rec. ived from
General Briere de I’lsle, in reference to the
repulse at Langson, and said the retreat to
the Red River delta had been made in good
order and in the face of 50,000 Chinese
troops. The army of France was at present
confined to the delte, but it was not demoral
ized, and only awaited the coming of a
sufficient force to rettieve the disas
ter at Langson and a d fresh laurels
to those which had so often crowned
the French armies in the past. He spoke
well and with great emphasis, though re
peatedly interrupted by noisy demonstrations
in the galleries and on the floor. In conclud
ing, he moved that a committee be appointed
on the credit, and that this motion be sepa
rated from the ministerial question. M.
Clemenceau in a stirring speech heartily ad
vocated the credit, and urged that reinforce
ments be immediately despatched to both
Tonquin and China, but denounced the
policy of the government and opposed the
motion for a committee. Fie was followed by
Duval and Ribot, who said the opposition
were willing to make any sacrifices to sus
tain the honor of France, but demanded the
downfall of the Cabinet, which
they insisted, had persistently and with de
sign concealed the truth about the situation
in Tonquin and China from the French
people. Upon the motion being put, the
ministry was defeated by 147 majority. The
announcement cf the vote was received wi’h
the wildest sigrs of delight, ard had not
the troojs been at hand to protect the fallen
ministers, they would have been roughly
handled, if not torn to pieces. Minister
Ferry announced the resignation of the
Cabinet, wh-ch was the signal for another
stormy scene. The resignations were sub
sequently accepted by President Grevy.
As soon as order was restored several
members eiemanded the impeachment cf the
minislry. M. Deiafosse requested urgency
upon amotion to that effect made by M.
Laisant, but the Chamber votid it down by
a vote of 204 to 161. Upon the adjourn
ment of the Chamber the retiring ministers
were saluted with insulting cries, and sev
eral rushes were made to reach them, which
were promptly suppressed by the guards.
It is impossible at this hour to get any
thing reliable in regard to the formation o
the new Cabinet. It is rumored that M
de Freyciuet, who succeeded Gambetta it
S6OO A YE AR
I January, 1882, and was overthrown in Au
gust oi me same year, or M. Ribot will be
asked io form a new ministry. M. Wadding
, i ton, at present tbe French dipl imatic rep
reseatative in London, is spokeu as for M.
Ferry’s piece, and M Leon Say, with whom
Americans are familiar, is mentioned as
l Minister of Finance, M. Clemenceau is also
talked of in connection with the new Cab
inet, as isalso Campenon. The excitement
has s imewhat abated, but there are evi
dences on all sides that Paris is in a dan
gerous humor, and the military guards have
been strengthened at points where danger
menacee.

road Depot, Robbed by Her
Adopted Daughter.
Lucy Lamar, the neat colored waitress at
I the Central Raildroad passenger depot, lost
a trunk and as many household goods and
wearing apparel as it would hell from her
house on Tattnall street corner of Liberty
street lane, last night. Shortly after, the
fifteen-year-old daughter of her brother, and
whom she raised from a child, disappeared,
and upon making inquiry Lucy learned that
the girl whose name is Maggie Lmchczhad
stated that she was going to run aw T ay.
Lucy has given the matter into the hands
of a detective, and will leave no
stone unturned to d’scover the girl, whom
she believes to be still in the city and har
bored by some friend. She proposes to get
the girl and send her to her father and if
she had help, (as she no doubt did) Lucy
proposes to prosecute wnomsoever it may be.
She will also prosecute the party or parties
who are harboring the girl, who is only
about 15 years old. Lucy is well known
and noted for her polite and obliging atten
tion to all who come in contact with her.

and Broughton streets, tbe shaft of a truck
wagon in which was seat'd the proprie
trees, by some accident broke loose and fell to
the ground, becoming er tingled in the
horse’s legs. The animel became frighten
ed and started to kick, but suddenly started
off on a dead run, the woman not attempting
to stop him, and indeed being unable to do
so. Just as the animal had gained good
headway a little colired b otblack rushed
but and by some manner of means, managed
to stop the animal without doing any
damage. Bystanders say it was a brave and
courageous act.
