The c., l., St. L. & c. to Enter Chicago Over

For some months past it has been an open Sc
tcret that the relations between the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Louis g. Chicago and the Hi
nois Central over which the c., l., st. l. IL G,
enters Chicago, via KanEakee, have not been OF
the most satisfactory character, so arbitrary is
the Illinois Central in its changes. Therefore
the trip of President ingalls,, yesterday, from
indianapolis 10 Chicago, via st. Anne, thence
over the Chicago 81 Eastern Illinois ROAD INTO
Chicago, in company with H. II. stephens, presl-
dent of the c. & f. III. and c. II. Ball, vice
president, has more Significance than the
mere announcement of the fact would express.
In fact, there is semi-ofieial authority for say
ing that the trains of the Big -Four will, at an
early day, enter Chicago over the G. IL e. l., in
stead of over the Illinois Central. BY this
change Mr.. ingalls, would shorten the distance
between Indianapolis and Chicago six miles, rs
IN running the Illinois Central, via Kan
kRkee, it is 1913 miles, against 1877 miles via St.
Anne and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and it
would enable Mr.. Ingalls, to shorten his running
time between Indianapolis and Chicago thirty
to forty minutes, the distance trains are
limits of Chicago is much less. Mr..
Ingals's Kankakee line would serve to
connect the Kankakee & Seneca road with the
c. l., ST. L. & C. and Chicago IL Rock Island as
new. The report that Mr. ingalls, hau arranged
20 use the Wabash from Essex the K & S. di-
vision into Chicago, is hardly plausible, as it
would len CITIZEN his route into Chicago fourteen
miles. With eomDetit iOn sharp as iB now s

nausea and vomiting, and it was evident that
their malady was caused by something they mad
eaten at the meal. They all recovered In the
course of q few hours, and all were able to re-
port at chapel yesterday morning. The meat
and butter of which the students had eaten were
analysed by chemist yesterday, but no for.

tices used were from what is used every day, so
that tho hospital authorities are at Ii loss to ac-

On Thursday evening an official OF one of the
roads in the Chicago and Ohio river pool re-
marked to Manager Richardson that what
troubled MIN most was that every month he
would have to be turning over his good money
to his chief competitor to even up per cents.
Manager Richardson told him il he would see
that his passenger and freight men maintained
rates he would have no trouble on that score.
l1nring this conversation the railroad official re-
lated an amusing pool incident. One of his
officers. on the evening after the pool per cents
had been announced, called at the Grand Hotel
to ask an explanation of one of the per cents
awarded that road, but one of the arbtrators
