serious disadvantage, the Wabash Directory
have determined to build an indcDeudent line
into Chicago, Which, when completed, will ena-
Bile the Wabash to take the bulk OF its business

interest OF Chicago shippers to defect the Wa

keep down the tariff, but will add al original

THE WESTERN UNION.

The FarIner5'> Loan q Trust COMPANY, OF
Mem York, filed bill yesterday against the
Western Union Railroad Company to foreclose
the first mortgage for $5,o QUO on the road.
The bill sets out that the Western Union Rail-
road Company. on the 1st OF February, 1865,

with interest at per cent, payable sami-
annually, and to secure the same executed a
trnst-dced on all its property from its eastern
end in, Racine, Wis, to Savannah ILL.,, and from
GaIeua to Rock, leland, with the usual
powers OF sala in case Of sixty days
default in payment Of the interest.
On the Ttn OF June, 1877, the Company. having
acoutred other property, executed another and
conGrInalory mortgage or deed Of trust to CON-
plainant on all tho property it then owned to
secure the aboVe~naued bombs. About the same
time 1000. OF tir bonds were Issued, but 1000
OF ,ihem we're Cancelled in 1860. subsequently,
however, 500 more were issued, aud arc now out
standing, making $500 in all. These bonds
,rere negotiated from time TO time. but on the
distinct agreement and understanding tl1at no
one OF them should have priority over another
The Company faied to pay its last February
interest, and at the present time there Is over
$1050oO due on intercet aud So, 500, 600

interest being $3, 622 500. The Company is new

requested to proceed against the road, now asks
that the trust-deeds above mentioned .nay be

Commltto,: Of tue trunk 1iucs and Western
roads to-day discussed the subject OF uniform
rates tn livestock shipments, and 1t was agreed
that all the trunl<-line companies are to main:
tain their respective proportion OF the tariff
rates on cattle, based on 10 cents from Chicago,
as soon as a division OF the traffic shall
be agreed upon. In the discussion which
took place, It was insisted that it was impossible
to secure the maintenance OF rates, until there
was IN adjustment Of the allotmcnts Of
freighrs. AS oil the traffic reports we're not in,
it was decided to postpone the settlement OF the
question until ThursdaE,.at Clerelund. Repro
