Eastern Trunk Line Freight Rates.

New YORK, April 11.-At (. final meeting of
managers of the trunk lines, it was resolved
that the presidents of trunk lines would not
participate after to-day in any lower than tar
iff rates on East bound business-that is on a
basis Of twenty cents per 100 pounds for grain,
and twenty-five cents for fourth class from
Chicago to New York-unless on property in
transit. An agreement to this effect was
signed by VIM. Fl. Vanderbilt, New York Cen
| trail; J. W. Garrett Baltimore 4 Ohio; 81. j.
Jewett, Erie; and J. z. Roberts, Pennsylvania.
On west bound freight it was determined to
divert freight to other roads from those which
allowed rebates, and to hold trunk line agents
! responsible for strict maintenance of tariff
rates. The joint executive committee and
rules for guidance, adopted in Chicago in De-
cember, were approved with a few modifca-
tions. It was also determined to affirm the
principle of pools in both directions on all
through freight and passenger traffic
common to any two or more trunk lines, and
direct their representatives on the joint execu
tive committee to call the full joint ex ecuriv@
committee together at an early date to perfect
such pools and adopt such rules and regula
tions for the maintenance of rates and theil
| enforcement as said joint committee may decu
lust.

How Jacob Brach Conddenced Henry
Orlsmann-Flieht of Brach.
An instance of misplaced confidence and
subsequent embezzlement was developed in
this city, yesterday, which stamps the indi-
vidual against whom the charges are made
as an unmitigated fraud. A few months
since there came to the establishment of MIR.
Henry Orlemann, doiag business as q beer
bother, No. 81 West Third street, man
named Jacob Brach, who sought and received
EMPLOYMENT a. q salesman of beer and
liquor.
The plausible address and insinuating
manners of tho accomplished salesman, soon
gained the confidence of his employer, who
introduced his competent employe to wide
circle of friends, among whom he speedily
became q general favorite. Taking advan-
tage of the opportunities offered, and having
some pretensions in the way of musical tai
ent. Brach was admitted to several musical
societies and his doubtful services
were brought into frequent requisition.
A few weeks since Mr.. Orlemann detected
several slight discrepancies in his accounts,
to which he called the attention of Brach,
who had been trusted with the responsible
position of collector. The apparent discrep-
ancy was explained by Brach, and nothing
more was thought of the matter until day
before yesterday, when the confidential clerh
suddenly disappeared, since when he has
failed ton put in his appearance
Tho precise amount of funds missing is MOI
definitely known, but it is supposed that h
secured enough money in tho capacity o
| collector, to risk leaving the city and thu
| chances of detection.
Since his unexpected flight, letters haV'
been discovered that intimate his connection
with defalcation in Switzerland. whicl
sufficiently prove that he is an old and hard
ened hand at the business. Up to last mid
night no trace had been discovered of hi

FORMS OF LIGHTNING.

A flash of lightning is a very large
spark of electricity, just the same thing
that one sees given by an electrical ma
chine in lecture on natural philosophy.
the only difference being that the best
machines will not give spark more than
yard long. while some flashes of light
ming have been estimated to be several
miles in length. According to their ap
pearance, various names have been given
to these sparks in the sky, though in
reality all the several kinds are one and
the same thing. On warm summer
evening, one often sees the clouds on the
horizon lit up with brilliant glows Of
lightning unaccompanied by any sound
of thunder. TO this appearance the name
of cheat lightning" has been given, and
the warm weather has been assigned as
its cause. In point of fact, the heat
Lightning is only that of thunder show
er SO far off that while the observer can
see the fash no sound of thunder reaches
him, and the intervening clouds veil and
reflect the fash till it becomes glow
instead of the sharp streak usually seen.
Where the fash. starting from one point,
branches out and divides into several
parts, it has received the name of ''forked
lightning" This is usually seen when
the discharge is near the observer. Sin
