Railroad Revenge.
CHICAGO, Sept. 12-It is now positively
stated that the Milwaukee and st. Paul and
the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
Companies have decided to make material
increase in freight rates on and after the
10Th inst. This is supposed to be intended
as an offset to ths decrease of rates in Hi
nois. The people of Wisconsin are highly
incensed at this action, and in that relation
it is threatened that the price of railroad
business will be raised from 3 to or 6 per
cent; that prorata railroad law will be OBJ
tanned from the Legislature at its next ses-
sion and board Of Railroad Commission
ers established, the last two being me asures
which the companies have opposed strongly
and hitherto with success.
Lively Competition.
LEAvENwoRTH, KS, Sept 12.-Tremen-
dous excitement prevailed here to-day,
caused by cutting the railroad fare to the
Quaker Convention at indianapolis. The
first cut was by the Kansas City, st. Joseph
and Council Bluff railroad, selling tickets
via the North Missouri road for twenty-five
dollars the round trip. The Hannibal an d
st. Joe then dropped to twenty dollars, and
the Missouri Pacific reduced to fifteen DOL
lars. As these tickets were good for sixty
days, the various offices we're thronged with
purchasers, either for speculation or use at
the st. Louis Fair AID Chicago Exposi-
tion. In the afternoon competition
became stronger, Hannibal aid St. Joe
road taking part, and the fare to Chicago
Wis st. Louis was reduced to $3.50, which
was subsequently lowered to $3.50. The
offices tonight are densely crowded with
purchasers, and the rates are nov S.. Louis
So, Chicago $3.50, Louisville $11.50, Gin
Cinnati $l450. Everybody seems bent on
going to one or the other expositions now

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Among the dis

gelical Alliance is Rev. r. P. Smith, Dean
of Canterbury, who is the bearer of letter
from the Arch, Bishop of Canterbury to!the
Alliance, expressing the writer's hope that
this general conference may promote unity
in all forms of Christian belief. The Dean
says there is general feeling among men,
bers of the Church of England, that the
dividing line which separated tie Estab-
lished Church from other Christian denom-
nations should be less marked, and having
that object in view he accepted the invita-
tion of the American Alliance.

SOUTH BEND, IND, Sept. 12.--At the
Methodist Episcopal Conference, now in
session here, while the subject Of schools
was under discussion to-day, the venerable
Bishop Simpson said: "Pardon the digres-
sion-I want the day to come when women
will vote. Without their vote, fear we
will never be able to put down the houses
of infamy ami liquor saloons of our coun-
try. No,hing is so ruinous to the country.
1t is true, and it is my opinion that we can
not get along without women voting. 1t is
not good for man to be alone"

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-The Inter Ocean
this morning published an interview with
Gen. B. j. Street, Deputy Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, and D. W. Mum, Su-
pervisor of Internal Revenue for Illinois,
who have been investigating the recent de-
falcation of Collector Harper, of the Eighth
district, and who are now in this city to look
into Harper's alleged grain speculatiOns. 1t
appears from the investigation that there
are implicated in Harper's fraud his deputy,
Smith, and three distillers, David Z.
Thompson, Henry r. Westermsn and John
L. Smith, representing the Pekin distilsry
company, and John d. Mcintyre, 8
Peoria distiller. 1t appears that
in the fall of 1871 the bonds of these
Pekin distillers TO the government mysteri-
ously disappeared and could not be found.
II is now believed by the officials who are
couductipg the examination that the bonds,
amounting to 100000, were stolen by Har-
per and Deputy Smith to facilitate the frauds
that were then or about to be committed on
the government. The distillers, their bond
having disappeared and their bOndsmen ap
psrentIy secured, now did not hesitate at
collusion with Harper; and when the latter,
to cover his deficiencies, alleged that the
Pekin distillers we're in arrears, they admit
ted the truth of bis statements, and the cor
rectness of transcript of the amount said
to be owing by them, which was given the
examining officer by Harper.
EsMesntime however Col. Bridges of this
city, Western agent Of the Internal Revenue
bureauwho was investigating the loss Of
the missing bonds found a list Of the bonds
mems names which had not been destroyed,
and commenced suit against them, which
suit 10 now pending. A prominent firm of
lawyers at Springfield, LII. ARE severely blam-
ed by the Government officials for their
course in the matter, as it is said they had
knowledge of Harper's defalcati0n weeks
ago. 1t is known that Harper was largely
ENGAGED in grain speculations here and the
officials above named are here, to investi-
gate them.

HEAT FROM WATER,

The invention which Mr.. Henry Paine
oe Worcester. Massachusetts,, introduced
to the American public near twenty yvalSS
age, not without some Afternoon iron ;" a.. az
st., is now renewed in experiments on Tue
other side of the water. FROM these a.
high expectations are formed as !nose
which were to make DIR. Fame an emine s;,
benefactor Of his species, ana witnal m u
lionaire. The new worker IN the 1iu iine
to which we refer is Mr.. Kuck, an Lnsnsn
practical chemist. 1t is ciaimeu tha' NC
has realized the long-che,rished areala .'i ha
the heating power stored IN wafer may VI
proftably employed Tor mechah'cai anu
domestic purposes: s.r-o,
and developed in the large works on the
banks of the Thames near Battersea Park,
and is pronounced simple and easy put In
practice. 1t is thus described: Ordinary
steam is brought through pipe from one
of the boilers Of an engine. and is allowed
to pass through redhot horse shoe-shap-
ed tube, reposing in tiercely burning
furnace. While in this tube the steam is
superheated, so that its oxygen and n.y.
drogen are ready to dissolve their alliance
and afterwards it is forced into a retort
filled with incandescent coke and iron
fragments. The oxygen is left behind and
forms with the iron scales of black rust the
hydrogen passes freely through the red
retort, and when certain sulphurous va
pors have been disengaged from the resi-
dual gas there comes forth the cheating
gas" eminently suited for all cloritic pur-
poses, where heat without light is deman-
ded. It is adapted for all kinds of stores
and steam-engine boilers. The cost OF
the gas at the works is found to be only
seven pence for a thousand cubic feet, and
this quantity would boil about 30 gallons
of cold water. The cost. 1t is said, can be
reduced by using the waste heat of the
retort furnace to supply the steam, which
is now supplied by an independent boiler.
The distinctive feature of Mr.. Ruck g
process is in the decomposition of the su-
per-heated fame by means Of coke and
iron, which remain for long periods in the
retort without requiring change. Com
bined with this is also an arrangement TO
carbonizing the heating gas for purpose!
Of illumination. This is done by making
it pass through oil. from which its carbo
is received, and whence it issues an exec
lent gas, equal in Illuminating power
sixteen candles for consumption of fiv
cubic feet per hour in an Argand burner
The cost Of gas, as used for light, Is a tr
de less than fifty cents per thousand cub
feet.
