The Nandalia management, to maintain their

their shops four heavy and powerful locomotives
to haul their through express trains, many of
which they are now obliged to haul in two sec

A CONFUSION OF ITEMS.
Bishop Chatard's Friends Still Hope TO See
Him Archbishop Woods Successor.

A cablegram received from Rome on Wednes-
day night and printed in this paper on Thursday,
said that the Archbishopric of Philadelphia,
made vacant by the death of Archbishop Wood,
would be Immediately filed by the appointment
of prelate from the diocese of Texas. The
name of the prelate was not given, and though
the friends of Bishop Chatard who have, con
fdently expected his promotion to the Philadel-
phia Archbishoprie were disquieted they could
not believe the dispatch to be correct as they
could not think of any one in Texas whose quail
fcatiOns for the place could at all compare, with
those of the present Bishop of Vineennes, In
Yesterdays Journal was a telegram from Rome
announcing the appointment of Very Rev Do
ningo Manucy, vicar general Brownsville, Tex,
to be Bishop of Mobile vice Bishop Quinlan.
deceased Catholic authorities here are now of
opinion that in some way the second item of
news here given, which is authentic and not un
expected, must in some way have been miSeon
stlued when it first came over the wire.
There are three Catholic bishops III Texas. The
Very Rev. Domingo Manucy, vicar apostolic, has
been until his appointment to Mobile, a bishop
sin partibus infdelium," that is, in an mfidel
land, in the extinct see of Dulfna, having been
eonseerated in 1874. He now lives at Corpus
Christi The Bishop of Galveston is n. A. Gal
lagher from Columbus, o., appointed in April,
1882, and the third is the Bishop of San Antonio,
j. c. Neraz, who has been bishop since 1881.
There is no likelihood whatever, that any prelate
from Texas and the three most prominent are
given here, will ever be called to take the inn
portant archdiocese of Philadelphia, and the
Catholic clergy of this city are confident that
Bishop Chatard and no other will be Archbishop
Woods successor.

Think 1t Unwise to Reduce Rates.

During the past week there has been quite a
gathering of freight men at Chicago, and, at the
request of Commissioner Fink they have been
considering the question of reducing east-bound
rates on grain and provisions, and after extern
sive inquiry they have come to the conclusion
that a reduction would be unwise that 20 cents
per one hundred pound rate would move no more
grain than does 30 cents per one hundred pound
rate. Shipments East, they say, viii be graded
on the quantity needed to supply the consump-
tive and the export demand; and further they
concluded that the Chicago gamblers would fight
any low rate which would create heavy move
ment, they wanting the grain there to gamble on.

Money Wen Invested.

Commissioner Fink states that it costs the
trunk lines $500, 900 year to keep the trunk
line pool in operation. The president of one Of
the trunk lines says that the pool has saved
5000 900 to the trunk lines in the year 1888, so
much better had rates been maintained than
they would have been but for the pool protec-
ton General Manager Richardson of the Chi
cago and Ohio river pool, says it is costing in the
neighborhood of 1000 per month to keep this
pool in running order The general manager of
one of the roads in this pool says that in the two
months it has been in operation, through the
better maintenance of rates doubtless the roads
in the pool combined have earned enough more
money to pay the expenses of the pool for one
wear.

GENERAL NEWS.
Boston Benefited by the Recent Changes in
Western Lines.

Boston Benefited by the Recent Changes in
Western Lines.
Boston now has practically three lines to the
West, as a result of the New York Central throw
ing the through business of the Fitchburg road,
Hoosac Tunnel line, off of its road. The Boston
& Albany works with the New York Central, the
Fitchburg with the New York, Buffalo and West
Shore and the New York and New England
with the Erie and the Pennsylvania roads E. B.
Phillips, president of the Fitchburg road, APP
pears to be pleased with the outlook for
their Western business. The snubbing the New
York Central has given their road brings the
Hoosac Tunnel line into more prominence Why
the New York Central took the step they did is
still query. The Boston Journal says that the
Albany officials, fearing a loss of business, in
fluenced the Central to make war upon the Fitch
burg, and that the Central chose to throw over
board the Fitchburg business rather than lose the
very profitable Albany freight business. Accord
ing to their agreement the Albany had the right to
demand exclusive use of the Central, as they
have none On the other hand an Albany Off
cial asserts that the move was wholly the Cen
trails own, that the Fitehburg had all along IA
vored the Erie at the expense of the Central,
and was prepared to join hands with the West
Shore whenever the opportunity should offer, and
that the Central has been made handle and

The proposition advanced to the Burlington was
that it should join the new pool on the same
terms the Northwestern, but this General
Manager Potter, of the Burlington said he was
had apparently been guarded against, and the
Burlington requested to state on what terms
it would negotiate. a counter proposition
was then suggested, that in order
to maintain rates and prevent war, two
dlstict pools be formed, covering all competitive
business on the lines of the Union Pacific road
as far west as Denver, the Union Pacific and its
four present allies, the Northwestern. Rock
Island, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and the Wabash
forming one pool, and the Burlington and its
branches forming the second pool TO this the
burlington was not prepared to return an
answer, and an adjournment was taken to the
18th inst. to receive the Burlngtons ultimatu1n-
In case the Burlington should decide to negod-
ate on the terms outlined. it is stated that its
lations with the Union Pacific will necessarily
be prolonged in view of the numerous points
touched by the two lines as direct competi-
tors. As result of the conference, it is
now deemed positive that the fixed policy
OF the Burlington managementis againstforlning
part of the new alliance and signing twenty
five years compact. In this view, the possibility
of the boards of directors of the Northwestern 81
Wabash failing to sanction the entry of their re
Speetive roads has been raised but as far as II has
been possible to ascertain facts, it is not deemed
probable that any of the four roads now III the
alliance will withdraw. The likelihood of the
Burlington entering into any compact with the
new alliance, even on the proposal for a separate
pool, is deemed very uncertain, as far as official
expression is willing to go. The Burlington in
the event that the new alliance is maintained,
will pursue policy Independent of any compacts
or pooling arrangements whatever

Appellee paid him money enough to pay
the first note, which he surrendered
to her. She also paid part
of the second note, but the balance being unpaid,
the mortgage was foreclosed and appellee lost
the land. This suit was for money had and re-
ceived by appellant to her use, she claiming that
he was to make good, the money so paid by her.
1t is contended that her testimony tends to up
hold the complaint and is sufficient to sustain
the verdict in her favor. In one place she says
she did not pay the money upon the note and
mortgage, but her testimony as a whole shows
that she did so pay it. The rule that this court
will not reverse Judgment when the evidence
tends to sustain the verdict does not go so far as
to authorize an affirmanee upon isolated state
ment of a witness, which is in conflict with other
statements of the same witness There is moth
