RAILROAD MATTERS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-A proposition is
pending to increase the railway rate east
from here five cents per hundred on grain
and provisions. The Pennsylvania Compa-
ny had decided to put an arrangement Of
that kind into effect, but examination
showed the situation unfavoraele for such
a movement. The Pennsylvania will preb-
ably confer with the Vanderbilt interests
to-day at Chicago and decide the matter.
The roads leading northwest from Chi
cago and Milwaukee met to-day and agreed
to restore for the coming season the tariff
for last year.
The Western Association of ticket and
passenger agents to-day resolved that the
usual basis of making rates to Eastern
points shall apply to st. Louis. Chicago.
Indianapolis and Cincinnati; that is, rates
from those cities to interior Eastern points
shall be based on the new Eastern passen-
ger tariff.
At meeting of the western trunk lines
association to day, settlement was eff
fected IN the controversy with the Eastern
lines which has continued for two years,
regarding immigration traffic. The report
of the committee was adopted, recommend
ing that the lines agree to tax ten per cent
on each Of the lines as their proportion of
the through rate for the purpose ofdefraying
the expenses of procuring and directing
foreign immigrant business; the percentage
to be borne by each line for enroute travel
from the seaboard to the destination of
the ticket holder. The seaboard trunk
lines agree to pay the transfer charge of
fifty cents at Chicago. A meeting will be
held to morrow to secure an understanding
with the steamship companies.

GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The Naval Com
mittee reported that ten million dollars be
appropriated for the construction of seven
first-class ships of war of different styles.
II met with pretty general favor, and Mr..
Harris thinks this recommendation will
be enacted into a law.
There was conference held last night
between members of the Senate and House
Naval committees, and some twenty or
more naval officers, including Secretary
Hunt and members of the Naval Advisory
Board, with reference to plans of rebuild
ing the navy.
. The military committee unanimously re-
ported back the nomination of Major
Rochester for Paymaster General of the
Army. The Committee, after investigation,
exonerated Rochester from all responsible
ity for the defalcation of Paymaster Hodge.
The Committee declare that Rochester
followed the usual custom of the Depart
ment in passing upon Hodges papers, and
that Rochester's record as an officer is ex-
cellent.
The President has accepted the resigna
ton of Ward Hunt Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, and will nominate sue
cessor next week.
Judge Smell held the defendants in the
straw bond star route cases in 81 900 each

Birch planned the murder and wanted Mag
gle to do the shooting; did not want she
should know he had anything to do with
it. Part of the plan was that after the ex
citement had subsidized Birch was to come
there and take care of the family. Mrs.
Lenehan to-day confessed to the Sheriff she
was eaeieate BY Birch. The report also has
it that Annie is in the same condition by
Birch. The inquest is still in progress.
A later special to the Journal says the
verdict of the coroner's jury was to the
effect that Lenehan came TO his death from
a revolver in the hands of Maggie Lenehan.
Her mother, sister Annie and Hebert Birch
are held as accessories before the fact.
The accused all waived examination and
were held to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
A telegram also says the eacieate bust
ness is incorrect.

tered, took fire and was burned Ats leas,
fifteen, and probably more, lives were lost
and many were dangerously wounded
The building is the old homestead of Ad-
mirsl Porter, Of Chester, Pa.
A number of colored families lived in
the old Porter mansion. It seems it frs,
took fire. and while the firsmen were play
ing on the flames and large crowd sur
rounded them, the explosion occurred,
scattering destruction far and wide. The
number killed is between fifteen and TWEEN
ty. About twenty were dangerously, and
so more or less seriously wounded. The
dead are being laid in the city. hall, and
the wounded are cared for in various drug
stores SO no accurate list can be obtained

Following is the list of killedand wound

Part of the mansion has been used by Ffof.
Jackson, Pyrotechnist, for some years,
as place for manufacturing explosive
commodities. The f1remen after being as
sured there were no explosives in the place
went to work after playing on the flames.
About half an hour after terrific explo-
sion occurred; the bodies of men were.
thrown in every direction, the air filed
with rubbish, the ground was covered
with victims some killed, some seriously
injured and others badly hurt. The dead
bodies Of men lay coi1ed on the ground,
others iabored IN the agonies of death.
A number lay writhing in blood, moaned
and groaned piteously for help; many lay
insensible to their surroundings, and
others bruised and bleeding grasped their
way from the scene OF the terrific accident.
People prayed in the open streets and the
shrieks of the dying were appalling; the
fire was abandoned and everybody in a
condition to do so, turned their attention
to alleviating the distress. Houses Ia the
vicinity Of the explosion was converted
into hospitals and the wounded removed
thereto.
