Administrator Houston took occasion to say
that the cost Of the draining machines alone
would be $40 900 year. and hence the estimate
was too low. He also took occasion to refer to
the practice OF sweeping the rubbish OF stores,
dwellings and sidewalks Into the gutter, s which
was most expensive practice to the city. One
ching was paramount to accomplish the de-
sired end. and that was money. The Depart

quested to have tho communication delivered to the
purser on the arrival of the vessel The letter was
addressed to Miss Roach. the deceased.
The latter. during the voyage. proved
an attractive. ladylike person. and was
much thought of by tho officers and Captain
williams the commander of the steamer. who treated
her with great kindness. she being alone. She was
about twenty years of age. possessed good figure
o handsome face. and dressed with becoming taste:
Her manners and conversation were those OF
IN educated lady. She was duly handed
the letter and seemed to be greatly delighted
at its receipt. She left the steamer with the other
passengers, and nothing known OF her move
ments until last Saturday. when about four
p. NJ. she returned to the steamer ana
she stumbled and fell and had . narrow escape
OF falling into the water. She was rescued in time
aud conducted on board in safety. She remained
conversing with Captain Williams for short time
and in taking her departure. 1t is said was Joined by

FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, August 1S. 1879.
At the session Of the Hepburn Railroad Freight
Rate Discrimination Committee to-day the examina
ion Of milers continued.
Joseph Farley, connected with the Whitney Mill,
testified as follows-On the LIST of last May the New
York Central road carried -four from Buffalo to Al
bany for eight cents barrel. were charged
fifteen cents and Buffalo millers twenty cents !;
through rates are SO low that unable to COM
pete with Western millers; l think the New York
roads are in q measure to blame for this.
W. W. Mack was sworn and testifed:-I have lived
here since 1866 was in the machinery business from
1866 to 1857 had practical experience III regard
to freight rates from the West as compared with
rates from Rochester; they used to make great
deal OF troubles used to ship from here to New
York aud from New York to Cincinnati at less ratio
than to Cincinnati direct from here; saved four
teen cents on q hundred pounds by so doing; the
freight rate from here New York was sixty cents
per hundred. and by shipping to st. Louis via New
York l saved eighteen cents on a hundred pounds;
do not know what roads carried the goods.
The Farmers Alliance prepared an address to the
committee. stating the grievances Of the farmers.
which concluded follows:--"We demand that
there be no discrimination In regard to individuals
or locations. but that rates be nearly possible
in proportion to the service rendered Is regards
citizens of this State and to travel traffic OF
other States demand that the rates charged over
the roads of this State, added to the expense in
Cured in bringing them to or conveying them
from our roads, always be something more
than is charged citizens our
own roads. In demanding this much sure
right. and it is in no spirit OF hostility or
threat that we avow determination to contend
for 1t until 1t Is conceded to US. until enforce
it by legislation. We dscaim all partisan designs
In Organization but believe it our duty to vote
only for such law makers conccde the justice of
our demands. We believe the mechanical and all
the industrial interests Of tho State are identical
with the agricultural and that the present policy of
the railroads will unite US In common effort to
secure Just treatment.
