The entire structure was shifted six feet nine and one-half inches toward the southeast.

Sept. 22 It is thought that there will be a livelv scramble for the fair oCWt which takes place to-morrow. The chief contest is over the office of president, now held by A. A. Arnold, of Gales-ville, and secretary, held by Clinrn Babbitt of Beloit.

It is generally conceded that Cyrus Miner, of Janes-ville. will be re elected treasurer, a position he bas held for ten year. Tbe candidates for the presidency are Mr. Arnold, the present incumbent, Clinton Babbitt, present secretary, aBd Mr. Sheldon, of Dane, president of the inter state fair, Madison.

For secretary the strife lies between T. L. Newton, of Beaver Dam, now superintendent of tbe horse department, and II. C. Adams, of Dane county, ex-member of the legislature, aid a well-to do farmer.

CmcAGO, Sept. 22 It Is claimed that at a meeting of the coal exchange to be held Friday the Shippers' Association will recommend to the board of directors an advance of at least 2" cents a ton and the probability is that it will be fifty cents a ton. It is stated that the coal market bas for months past been at tbe mercy of the sales agents, who watch the market and find out what it requires in the way of supplies, and furnish barely sufficient to meet the immediate consumptive demand, and it is sid that they have recommended that the supply for the whole country for October will not be more, at tbe very outside figures, than tons, which is 4.000,000 tons less than tbe market would abso lutely take if they let it. That combination bas left this market frightfully bare of coal.

MOKE Ot'AHES OJliWt iggiaa Prediction for Sep-tembrr Ottawa. Sept. 22 Prof. Wiggins. Canada's weather proDhet.

thinks there are more earthquakes coming. Mr. iggins thinks there is no danger from earthquakes in Amer ica until the 2i)th and even then the earthquake force will move from east to west on a parallel of a few degrees south of Charleston. It Charleston is visited this time it can only be on that day, and it is certain that an earthquake will take place on that day which will be felt in the south, The disturbances will cross the Atlantic and all probability affect southern Europe. South America will be exceedingly liable to be affected and tbe upheaval will be a severe one.

Prof. Wiggins thinks that new volcanoes will burst out in Central America and South America. Shocks wculd also affect San Francisco and the Pacific slope. HI'OI TE HOT IVATEIt. A Xew Kind of Well In the mate of Texan.

22 Gonsul Gilbert, in Trieste, in a report to the secretary of state, gives a series of tables showing a rapid falling off in the im ports of American petroleum and a corresponding increase in that of Russia since 10. The price of the American article is 8.C0 florins per 100 kilo-grama, and substantially tbe same quality of Russian only 7.15 floring. Ho says, in conclusion, that unless American exporters can make it possible to place npon the markets at Trieste and Finme petroleum of a better quality than the late shipments, and at a lower price, he sees but little prospect of their retaining even the present portion of the trade.
