III. w. Hibbard, general freight agent of the
Vandalia, will devote this week TO another effort
to induce Commissioner Fink TO increase the
Vandala's per cent. on dead freight out of East
st. Louis. 1t is rough to turn business over to a
competitor when traffic is heavy, but so to do
when it Is as light as it has been for some weeks
past is decidedly provoking to the Vandalia peo-
pie.
Commissioner Fink states that the demand of
the Chicago, st, Louis g. Pttsburg road for 10
per cent. OF the east-bound live stock will not be
acceded to by the pool, but any percentage to
which it is rightly entitled will be awarded 1t
is hardly probable that the G., st. L. & p man
agement expected so large a per cent, but, like
Parties who sue railroads for damages, they
make large demand, expecting it Will be cut
down one-thlrd or oue-half.

GENERAL NEWS.

No Good Grounds for the Allegation that
the New Roads Cut Rates.
The present attack upon the Erie, and the
charges that, because it leads the New York
Central in eastbound tonnage, the fast-freight
lines running over it cutting rates, is the
most seuseess allegation that has been current in
railroad circles for many day There are now
three roads which are active feeders OF the Erie
namely: the Grand Trunk, the Chicago & Allan
tic and the Chicago, st. Louis d PIttsburg. Then
1t should be borne thatthe Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton lines are part OF the Erie system,
and picking up large amount OF business from
southwestern points; then, the Indiana, Bloom
fngtOn 4 Western is working in nicely with the
throw an immense volume of traffic onto the
Erie proper, which never before has
had a fair show through it Western
connections; then, above all this the
special feature TO place cars promptly. take them
away when loaded, and forward them with the
greatest dispatch. Then, above all this, the
Grand Trunk. the Chicago d. Atlantic and the
Chicago. st. Louis & Pttsburg were fortunate in
the selection of general freight agents and their
assistants. Each and all are very popular with
shippers in the West, and being in some sense
connected with new competitors for the bust
ness, rates, time and equipments of the new
lines being equal in every respect to chat offered
by the older roads. shippers naturally give the
former the preference. While there is little danger
that the Trunk Line pool will 90 to pieces, the
Iumored cut rates tends to create uneas1ness
and i'll feeling between competitors Commits
sIoner Fink reitteraues his belief that there will
be trouble growing out OF the many reports
of railroad difficulties. He says: There is not
company of any magnitude or reputation that
desires war. Past experience has fully DEM
Oustrated how injurious these misunderstanding
1ngs are. Railroad wars not only detrimentally
affect various corporations, but unsettle the
whole business of the country"

 Premfsfng OstIook for ohio Oil Wells
 P1TTsBURe, July 9.-The persons who Jeff here to examine the Macksburg oil district on Duck creek, Ohio, returned this afternoon and report the field as one of considerable possibilities. One of them said |: ssNo such sand was sver found that was not followed by plenty of oil. The fluid is of forty gravity-the same as Is found in the Shef- field district. The sand is known as sugar sand, and differs only from the Bradford sand in being shade lighter. Some twenty wells have been producing on an average two barrels per day for some years, but they were only drilled to depth of five hundred feet. This Rice well, brought in in 1862, has been flowing ten barrels per day uninter- since that time. Seven other wells which have been drilled 1,500 feet are pro- ducing from ten to fifteen barrels per day. The third sand is found in, valleys at depth ], ,507 feet and 2 1000 feet on the hills. Lands are being leased rapidly at ne-eight royalty. MT. Brundred, of Oil City, has 5000 acres, and Mir. Rulings. of the same place, 10000. The territory thus far developed is one mile wide and forty in length" The trade is con- siderably worked up over the report.

 CINCINNATI, July 9.-Early this morning
 the doors were thrown open and the crowd
 slowly and reverently passed through the hallway and into the room in which lay the
 boy of the late Archbishop Purcell and out of the east door. Lighted candles at the head of the prelate shed sombre light over the scene, while the palefaced nuns in their black robes and the martial looking Knights, with their badges of mourning on their sleeves, made scene which will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. It is estimated that fully fifty thousand people passed around the bier during the day. The body was taken from the coffin on Saturday and arrayed in full canonicals. The mitre was on his head and in his hand the crozier. The purple cassock had been put on at the convent, and also the Brussels lace alb in which fifty years ago he had been consecrated bishop. The pallium, the token of his rank, which came from the Pope, rested on his breast. His cross set with diamonds was hung around his neck. Above the bier is a crucifx of dark wook illuminated by tapers. The Catholic Knights stand guard in details day and night. The face of the dead is white, but so natural as to cause surprise. Arrangements for the funeral are going on rapidly. The casket is of cedar covered with black cloth and has ten handles covered with purple. It is lined with purple satin, being very ostentatious. After the services the Miserere by Elt will be sung by male voices while the bishops are disrobing. J. F. Airl- son, the organist, will be assisted by John Bockhoven. The following distinguished prelates have signifed their intention to be present Archbishop Gibbons of Baltimore, Archbishop Corrigan, coadjutor of Cardinal McCloskey of New York, Bishop Conroy of Albany, Bishop Bolles, Alton, Ill. ; Bishop Ryan, coadjutor ot Bishop Kenney of St. Louis Bishop Fitzgerald Little Rock, Ark. These with the bishops of the province will secure the presence of over twenty of the leading prelates of the country. All the Catholic societies in the city have been in- vited to attend. The cortege will march through the principal streets of the city to the cathedral, and at the end of the oeremo. niss will proceed with the body to the depot, from whence it will be taken to St. Martins for interment. Two companies of police, numbering sixty -four men, will head the cor tege, commanded by Captain Devine.

No Prizes for Wind Gauge RifIemen.
 LONDON, July 9.-After serious considera- tion the Wimbledon committee of managers has decided formally to refuse the request of the Americans to allow the use of wind gauges by the contestants for prizes. Those participating in the contests may. if they wish, use the wind gauge, but no prize will be awarded to such as take advantage of the privilege, however high their scores may be. This will give the Americans the same amount of practice as the English team will have, and they have been given tickets which admit them free to the contests where they use the gauge and do, not contest the prizes. The gauge will, of course, be that to be employed in the international contest, which will not be shot under the Wimbledon rules Colonel Howard got the American team together for team practice on the military ranges. The managers are endeav- oring to arrange a series of prize contests open only to Americans, civilians and national guardsmeu.

CHICAGO, July 90 olonel J. A. Martin of Atchison, Kansas, successor of Dorsey as sec- retary of the Republican National commit tee, was at the Grand Pacific to-day. He said that only two cities, Cincinnati and Saratoga, had been named in connection with the next national Republican convention. Neither place was in the interest of any particular candidate. The Kansas Republicans true to the "plumed knight" from Maine in 1876 and 1880 had no presidential candidate at the present time. President Arthur's administra- tion had given general satisfaction and this fact is thought to contribute to make him his own successor in the convention of 1884.

The MOrmOns and the Edmunds Law.
 DEs MONIES, July 9.-Colonel George L. Godfrey, member of the Utah commission, who returned from Utah yesterday. said this morning: "The Mormons are disposed to in- terpose every legal obstacle to the enforce ment of law which to them is extremely odious. They have made mp ten test cases which will be submitted to the courts as soon as possible. On the night before started for the East the writs were served on the commissioners. While there is no doubt that the courts will affirm the constitutional ity of the law, the Mormons will leave no stone unturned to impede its operations. The suppression of polygamy is only question of time. While the Edmunds bill may not accomplish all that is claimed for if, I regard it as an entering wedge which is destined to divide the Mormon church."
