ANOTHER CLEW
Concerning the Murder of the Foreman
W0men-The Latest Development.

The preliminary examination of James n
HOugh, arrested for the murder of the Foreman
women. was continued by Squire Feibleman
yesterday until Wednesday, the prosecuting at
torney claiming that it would be impossible to
have witness here, who would give important
testimony before then. The important witness
is ~. iam Bush, q cOunterfeiter arrested in
Franklin county and sentenced in the Federal
Court, a few days ago, to two years imprison-
ment in the Northern Penitentiary. Herod &
Winters, who are prosecuting the case against
Hough and Cassiday for the detectives
who made the arrest, yesterday obtained
permission from Jadge Woods TO have
Bush brought back for the purpose
of testifying in the preliminary EXAMINATION of
the two prisoners, Bush was in jail during the
previous confinement OF Hough, and the two
men were on confidential terms. In speaking of
the murder with which he was charged, HOugh
one day told Bush that on the night the crime
Casslday, and related to him IN
detail the circumstances of the
night. This story. II is claimed, will be very
damaging to Hough and Casslday After the
release OF HouRh, upon the failure of the grand
jury TO mud an Indictment against him, Bush
and Herman Trimpe, the Indiana-avenue shoe
dealer, serving sentence of thirty days i'm
prisonment for receiving stolen goods, were
placed in the same cell, to whom
By Hough daS or STORY two 'S aterward
Trimpe and Milton Foreman were put together,
and TO the latter the story was also repeated.
Foreman at once sent for Detectives Stevens
what ne had heard. As the Journal
stated at the time, when the case was in
shadow of mystery, the Information upon which
Hough and Cassiday were arrested, came direct
ly from Forman, although 1t was not a
confession OF his own guilt. The thumb
screws screws were afterward applied to Bush, and
from MIN was obtained the story as
told him by Hough. The officers
immediately started after Hough, and
Cassday, Ii vas with some difficulty that Bush
could be induced to give his story, as he seemed
to have great fears that HOugh would wreak ven
geance upon him II he escaped punishment.
Important deVelopemt nts iu the
case are now expected. Squire FeiOleman, in
granting the request for pOsUp0nement of the
pear no would release the prisoner from Gus
tody.

San Francisco, and from Chicago to New Orleans:
or as the circular says road reaching from

Complimentary to MIR. Matthews.

The Chicago correspondents of the Louisville
Courier-Journal pays the following deserved
compliment to Mr.. Gus, C. Matthews, OF this

"a social event of much interest to many Lou
isvilie people will occur at Springfield, o. on the

daughter of William o. Frye, ex-treasurer OF
Clark county o., of which Springfield is the
counry-seat. Mr.. Frye is an old and respected

NEW DEPARTURE IN FREIGHT.


The Local Freight Agents Agree to Meet
the Wishes of the Merchants.
The local freight agents of the several roads
eentering here met yesterday afternoon at the
office of Albert g. White. agent of the Bee Line.
to confer on the matter of holding the freight
depots open to receive freight after P. NJ. After
a free and general discussion, 1t was
decided that during the spring, sum-
mer and fall months freight would be re-
ceived up to P. NJ Every road was represent
ed and all consented to such an arrangement eK-
cept the Wabash and the Indiana. Bloomington
& Western, and Messrs. Walker and Gregory,
sgents of these roads, said that without doubt
their superior officers would favor an arrange
ment of that character. but they
preferred to consult with such officers
before giving definite answer. Where holding
the depOts open an hour later will interfere in
getting goods out the evening trains as here
tofor, the superintendents will be asked 20

ARROGANT TRUNK LINES.

Earnings.
TRUNK LINES VS.. WESTERN ROADS.

Arbitrary Rulings of the Trunk Lines OPP
Prsssiye Upon Western Roads.
In the Journal of Thursday last the statement
was made that some Western roads were chatting
under the arbitrary ruling of the trunk iines'
and there were Indications that such roads would
organize for self-protection. That the rulings OF
the trunk lines are arbitrary and oppressive was
never more truly shown than In the
effect of the trunk line pool upon
Western connections. If the trunk lines get at
ioggerheads and inaugurate rate war the West
prn roads must prorate at the decreased rates:
If the Western roads employ the same methods
to save themselves from the effects of violation
of agreements by any of their fellows. they are
ruled out of the pools by the commissioner and
connections directed not to prorate with them
The Western roads supply the business te the
trunk lines and it is high time that their infiu-
ence In that regard was recognized. This recog-
milton is not given them. They pay their pro-
rata for the maintenance OF contracting agents
in the West, well as maintaining their own
special agents. They do as much toward secur-
ing the paying east-bound business as the trunk
lines do toward securing the non-paying west
bound business YET, in addition to that, they are
assessed on every ton of freight going to Ba.t-
more by the Baltimore e. Ohio railroad sixty
cents for bridge transfer, or by the Pennsyl-
facilities at Baltimore, which all comes from
the pocket of the Western roads, and Is
transferred into the pocket Of the
trunk line On New York business via the Penn
sylvaRia railroad the terminal tax is 81 per
ton, aud via the Baltimore & Ohio is 81 20 per
ton. which is all paid by the Western roads as
tribute to the more expensive construction of
the Eastern roads, Dead freight lie transferred
through Indianapolis via the Belt railroad at 80
cents car expense to the Western delivering
road yet the Eastern roads pay nothing of this,
at the same time that they charge the Western
roads go cents ton, or an average of SO car,
for TRANSFORMATION over one mile of bridge, for
delivering receiving freight at terminal
point. The financial effect of this Ia that the
legitimate earnings. In the light of this it is
longer a mystery whv the percentage of
penses to earnings is greater on Western than on
trunk-line railways. What the Western roads
need. ssys prominent railroad man, is
agreement 70 protect themselves from the injus-
tice OF trunk lines

The Union Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe passenger men are in a high state of
excitement as to which roads the highest
elevation ia reached. The A. T. & s. F. dodgers
claim that the D. & R. G. railway crosses the
continental divide at Marshall Pass, Col, at An
elevation of 10.7so feet, the highest elevation
Of any railroad in North America. The Journal
will settle the dispute by giving the official
figures: The continental divide is crossed by
railway lines IN Colorado at four points, two by
the D. & R. G. and two by the Union Pacific.
The elevation OF Marshall Pass crossed by the
D. & r. @. is 10.760 fest The elevation of
Tennessee Pass is 10.41S feet. The elevation of
Breokinridge Pass, at Boreas on the Denver &

The statement OF one of the oficiuls of the Wa

che division of the Wabash formerly the Indianap-
oils, Peru & Chicago road was hereafter to be
operated more to please the patrons of the road
does not consist with the actions of the manage
ment, which has taken off one of the most i'm
p0rtaut trains between Indianapolis and Michi-
gan City. Speaking of this new deal, the Michi-
gan City Dispatch says: "The Detroit e. Indian
apolis division of the Wabash road has always,
since the new management, Disseminated
against Michigan City, in passenger business as
we'll as freight traffic, but the last move made
by this 'enterprlsing division is to discontinue

at6:50P NJ. and arriving at Indianapolis at
1853 P. NJ, the two trains, after Sunday, June
8, to run only to Peru, leaving one train each
