RAILROAD MoNOPoLIEs.
The railroad controversy is continued
and manufacturers and shippers are ex
pressing their dissatisfaction with the
| freight lines. Benjamin b. Sherman
vice-chairman of the committee o.
seventy, and president of the New YOrB
sugar-refning company, states that un'
| fair Determinations Of railroad com.
panies in favor of Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore and against New York
Were the principal grounds of complaint
ON the part of New York merchants, and
/ that they were determined to put an
end to such unfairness. They say that
railroad corporations must no longer be
permitted to water their stock three OIL
| four times and then charge eight pei
cent. AS soon as cool weather begins
meetings will be held and the subject be
pressed upon the attention of the peo.
pie. Other heavy shippers say the con-
! test is a continuation of the fight last
year, and has been brought up at this
] time in anticipation of the fall trade.
| Agents of railroads and forwarding
COM panies state that the rates for ship
ment Of freights are lower now than
they have been for long time. First
class freight is now charged seventy
five cents per hundred pounds to Chica-
go, and proportionately to other points,
Chicago being the basis.

ITALIAN CHILD-TRAFFIC
Two italian boys have appeared before
the cOnsul-general Of Italy, and asked
that they be protected against their
pddr0Re, Michele Carcone, whom they
charge with having inflicted upon them
the most barbarOus cruelties. The boys
were given by their parents to CarcoRe
year, and that they be well taken care of
and taught music.
A warrant was issued to-day for the
arrest Of Carcone, but he seems TO have
left the city. One of the boys, sixteen
years of age, says in his statement,
made under oath, to the italian consul,
that he was, by private contract between
his father and Carcone, given to the lat
for for a lf Hva 10
under him in the profession Of ambu-
liant musician, with the remuneration
of sixty ducats, equal to about fifty dol
lars in gold, at the end of the same
term, binding him to use kind treatment
and to instruct the boy in the profession
of a musician. The boy started from
Itsly under the guide of Carcone, and
arrived in New York two months ago,
where Carcone, instead of teaching the
boy to play the harp, compelled him
from the first day to go about the streets
as a boot-black, instructing him, under
menace of severe threats, to tell any body
that might question him, that he was
living in New York with his father, and
not with CaTcOne. Whenever the boy
did not bring home to Carcone sufficient
money to pay him, he is i'll treated
and severely beaten with punches, slaps,
etc., and at one time the pdedrOR caught
him by the neck pressing him with his
fingers as though he meant to strangle
him, besides giving him bite on the
nose.

MADAME LUCCA's MARITAL TROUBLES.
Berlin papers contain letter from
Baron Won RhOrden, the divorced hus-
band of Madame Lucca, repudiating
and denOuncing what he terms villain
GUS piece Of rascality practiced upon
him in New York in the divorce suit.
He says: "Leaving untouched all other
shameful antecedents, / last autumn laid
before the proper court in Berlin a COM
plant for a divorce, on the ground of
malicious abandonment, and this pro-
ceeding is taking its regular course. The
accusations raised against me, and
through which, in connection with per-
jury and other crimes, success has ap-
parently been obtained, declare to be
most perfect untruths, as are also hear
say declarations attributed to q witness
who is not even named. The reason for
fastening the proceedings, commenced
in such sudden and uHheard of manner
in New York, can only be found in the
news reported in the journals that Mad
anne Lucca had already again been mar
ried to Major Won Wallhofel." The
baron denies having received notice of
the proceedings began for divorce in
New York, and states that he has moved
in the court for its sannulment.
THE SAN DOMINGO LNsURRECTION.
Information disclOses the fact that for
some days past agents of the insurgent

this city purchasing arms, and a recent
shipment of one thousand stand has
been made to a point within the control
of the revolutionists. The opposition to
Baez is said to be daily growing stronger,
through the objection fthe Dominicans
to the Samana Bay company, which, it is
alleged, has failed to fulfill any of its
promises for the improvement of the
territory conceded it, and is only occu-
pied in stripping the country OF its val
liable products and exporting them,
without making any return in the form
of new buildings, local improvements,
or other works, designed to aid and ad-
vance the material progress of the coun-
try. In the battle Of June 18th at Car
nero, according to private advices, BaeZ's
troops left one hundred dead upon the

from his army are frequent.
