CHICAGO RAILROADS.
The Toledo, Wabash d Western is reported to
have made q combination with the Canada
Southern, the effect Of which will be to turn
over to the latter all the through traffic which
has heretofore passed over the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern On it's way to and from Buf-
falo. As evidence of this combination reference
is made to the annual meeting Of the Toledo,
Wabash Western Railway Company, held in
Toledo, Oct. 2, at which the following we're

OF these, Messrs. Court1ight, Dillon, Drew,

that the Wabash will control the Canada South

In connection with the above, We may refer to

On the Winona d st. Peter Railroad the iron

'U1n, or about twenty miles further than last re-
ports. It is expected that the road will be COM
pleted to De Graf, 113 miles from New U1m, be-
fore the end OF October, and to the Big Sioux
River by December. OTer thousand men are
ct work on the road.
On the Chicago d Northern Pacific, the con-

OATTLE-Received since Saturday, 1,748

braced class Of stock somewhat above the aver
age, in point Of quality, but these favorable cir
cumstances we're counterbalanced by the dis~
couraging tone Of advices from the markets be-
low, and instead OF activity and hruness, dull

the other classes Of buyers in attendance VAS
limited, and sales dragged from the opening to
the close, with prices in buyers favor. Packers
are ready to commence operations, but they will
not enter the market until the supply Of suitable
grades is sufficient to make it an object. The
Texas cattle received during the past half dozen
days consisted principally Of COWS and light
steers,-a class that packers cannot handle to
advantage. Sales were reported at 93.oo@6.75

list Of buyers, and with one or two city packers
also engaged the supply was readily disposed of,
and the market closed firm. Sales were report

The LIVELY FIRST WARD.-An-
other enthusiastic Greeley and Brown
mass-meeting took place in the first
ward, last Thursday night, at K. O.
Lanlry's store. A large number Of
people were present, about two-thirds
Of whom were colored, and the pres
ence Of the Ascension Brass Band,
discoursing .enlivening music, awoke
the echoes Of: the surrounding country
and aroused the enthusiasm and in
terest of the auditors.
The meeting was opened by all adj
dress from Gen. Allen Thomas, the
best Of our home speakers, who gave
brief bnt comprehensive account Of
Gen. Grants career from the time of
his employment in the tanners trade
until now, and drew a striking con-
trast between the lives and personal
character of the two candidates for the
Presidency. His reference to Horace
Greeley's visit to Princeton, N. j., iii
1913, when he made all abolition
speech before an unsympathetic au-
dicnce, and in spite of taunts and jeers
dared to raise his voice for the eman-
cipation of the slaves and the equal
rights of all men, was graphically told
aud well received.
Hon. Emerson Bentley, Superintcn-
dent of the Third Educational Divi-
sion, was next introduced by Il. n.
Sims, Esq, and delivered q forciblc
address, depicting the enormities Of
Grants official career with startling
distinctness that carried consiction to
the hearts of his hearers. Mr.. Bent
ley's speech was loudly applauded.
Il. N. Sims, Esq, in response to re-
peated calls, took the stand and ex
horted the people not to be bound by
party ties, but to elect honest men
who would not desert them after cleo
ton. Mr.. Sims confined himself
mostly to parish issues, and his re-
marks were full of good reasoning and
logic.
The meeting adjourned amid music
from the band and loud h,lzzas for
Greeley and Brown.
