10 p. m. it was blowing steadily twenty
two miles. few crafts have cleared
within the past twenty-four hours, among
which are the tug Maggie for Port Col

pellers Osceola for Duluth and the New

ran into the schooner Redwing this after
noon, and stove hole into the latter's
stern. 1t will take $500 to repair the dam

Leadville, and Capt. p. Griffin, of the

Erie, accompanied by members of their
crews. They report that their vessels,
which went ashore on Long

owned by Cummings, valued at $4,000;

great obligation to Capt. W. FL. Bogart, of
the propeller Roanoke. While the storm
was raging, Capt. Bogart, who was at Port
Colborne, started out for the purpose
of rendering assistance, and stayed in the
vicinity of the wrecks two days, when
they we're able to put out to him in small
boats. Many steamers passed them be-
fore this, refusing even to answer their
signals of distress. Whea they were on
board the Roanoke, Capt Bogart treated
them all, fifteen in number, in the most
hospitable manner and landed them at
Erie. The m1shap to the propeller Fred

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE formal notice
has been given by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad of the intention of the
company to withdraw from the Omaha
pool. after the expiration of thirty days,
has provoked nearer approach to real ex-
citement than any kindred event in rail
road circles here for a number of years.
the western roads the Omaha rates have
been strictly maintained the past twelve
years, and break in the Omaha rates is
looked upon as involving the entire south
western business. The present move of
the st. Paul road is deemed by Compel
ing lines as an open guage of battl Q
and that an uncomprisiDg fight will follow
unless the demands it will likely make on
four roads are acceded to. The published
statement made here of the excess of the
Omaha earnings have grown out CT the
fact that it has carried the bulk of western
cattle coming to this market under an
agreement made by this combination of
western cattle men to favor this line.
After an attempt has been made to secure
better terms from the pool, it ID impos-
sible to hope this would resultin rupture
between roads stated in the combination
The cattle men offered to put up an enor-
nous money guarantee to send all the cat
would give the combination a
terms with any one line or pool,
the coarse pursued was that of shipping
cattle over single line. Owing to the
source, it is understood grows demand of
the st. Paul road for increased per cent
age and its refusal to turn into the pool
$4,000 surplus. The officials of the com
peting roads decline to make any state
ment this morning, beyond the declars-
ton that the truce will certainly be main
tanned for thirty days and that meeting in
the meantime may prevent an open fight.
said one prominent official "of course if we
cannot agree upon terms, we will have to
fight it out and everybody
knows what that means.
The Milwaukee d st. Paul Railroad Co.
this afternoon paid over TO the Iowa pool
$4,000, the disputed surplus of earnings
and $4,000 additional, which squares the
pool account to date. The officials of the
company, however, still adhere to their
purpose to leave the pool, and under the
circumstances war of rates after the
lapse of thirty days, is deemed inevitable.

the last grand jury have joined in an open
letter to Gov. Crittenden in reply to state
ments made by his exoellency in an inter-
view published by local paper last week.
The interview, which was carefully pre-
pared by the governor himself, is gener-
ally recognized as his official defense
against the reflections of the grand jury on
him, and was such that the members of
that jury, now adjourned, deemed it ad-
visable for them to reply to it.
They give him some pretty hard rsps.
The letter or card concludes as follows:
'St. Louis seems to have done nothing to
please him since he received by some
means its almost unanimous vote in the
