NEW YORK, July 30.--Thc guerilla war

at thls point recently was still continued to
day. While Pool-Comlnissioncr Albert FinE
said that everybody knew that the grca
trunk line agents arc as busy as the,
can be cntting freight rates, tho agents
themselves, in lamblike manner, sud
they knew nothing whatever concerning the
matter Yet they admitted that Commission
er Fink was good authority upon such sub,
jects: The Commissioner said there was
nothing new about freight-rate cutting,
That it was being done was as evident as the
fact that the stars shine in the heavens,
There was no telling when the underhaud,
or guerilla, warfare would end.
The Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, which
| mad made the open cur in Boston,, WIS one
OF the parties to the New England pool Oh
west-oound freishts formed in 1877, and he
had reason to believe that that Company
had always acted honestly and kept faith
with the other companies in the pool. The
cutting Of freight rates by the Vermont Cen
| trail. one Of the Grand Trunk Railway con-
nectlons, followed by the slaughter
OF rates by the Boston & Albany
and the Fitchburg Railroads, had drawn
tile New York Central and the
New York, Lake Erie IL Western Companies
into the wrangle, in a measure ut least. The
cutting, it is said, has been going on for over
month. It is generally believed that the
schedule Of west-bound rates has not been
observed since the recent meeting of the
Eastern freight agents in this city, when it
was agreed to maintain rates. It is known,
notwithstanding the statements of the freight
agents to the contrary, that great deal of
first-class freight is being taken ot

about fifty miles northward from Bristol.
| It's claimed that the cathedral was found
ed by King Otfa in the ninth century. The
present erection, however, has little to do
with that foundation, except as to site, the
building now in use being the third which
has stood on the same spot, while some of
the ruins of one of the Older remain ada

gun in the eleventh century probably
about 1915, but was not finished until 1855

General Grants Lion Hunt.
Sunday School Gazette.

Sunday School Gazette.
1t has Just leaked out that while
General Grant was travelling in Asia
he expressed his desire to get shot at
a lion. Not wishing to expose him to
danger, the natives secured a stuffed
lion, set it up in jungle, and then
took the illustricus traveller out for a
hunt. When the beast was sighted the
general was all excitement, and, draw
ing up to a favorable position, he be-
gan to blaze away at the animal with
no perceptible effect. After firing about
twenty shots he began to get mad, and
taking off his coat, he settled down for
regular siege. Fearing his wrath
when he discovered the sell, the attend
ants endeavored to induce him to give
up the attempt to kill the beast, telling
him that it bore a charmed life, and
that he could not possibly injure if.
He told them to go to thunder, that he
was after blood, and was going to have
it. After a vain fusilade of half an
hour he arose to his feet, gnashing his
teeth with rage, threw his suspenders
off his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves,
and grabbed his rifle by the barrel, 50
he could use it as a CLUB. The attend
ants again begged him to desist, but
he politely though forcibly informed
them that he would have that cuss or
leave his hOnOred remains stewn pro-
miscuously all through the jungle; and
with a wild cry of "Ill fight it out ON
this lion if it takes all summer" he
rushed upon the beast, and with one
ll-directed blow laid it over on its
side. Then he chased the native at
tendants for six miles, but being better
acquainted with the country, they got
away from him entirely.
