collected at Che stand, where Hon. S. r.. Mason of
Pennsylvania. delivered speech of an hour and a
half in length. Mr.. Mason is thoroughly familiar
with the questions of finance and the tariff. His
premises were well taken and his reasoning upon
every proposition followed to such logical CON
illusions that the most preudiced could not help
admitting their correctness.

EDISON'S EARLY MISTAKE.
His Dismissal from a Canadian Railroad Of
fice-His Fathers Claim to His Pay.

MONTREAL, Oct. 1S.-Twenty two years ago
Thomis Calvin Edison, the great electrician, was
an operator and train-dispatcher in a small way
station on the Grand Trunk railway, west
of Toronto. Through carelessness on his part
serious accident almost took place, and for this
irregularity he was discharged, and the balance
of wages due him, amounting to $266 was
confscated His father, Samuel Edison, of Fort
Gratiot, Mich, Immediately protested against
the action of the Grand Trunk road and
has ever since at regular intervals, made claims
against the company, alleging that his son was
illegally dismissed and that, as he was at the
time a minor, the balance due is payable to the
father. A few days ago, Mr.. Edison, senior,
again addressed letter to the general manager
of the road, in which he expresses the hope that
legal proceedings may be avoided by speedy
settlement of the claim The letter goes on to
say that the claim is not pressed for the few pal
try dollars at stake, but in order that act. of
strict justice may be done and his sons charac-
ter vindicated. 1t is understood that General
manager Hickson has given instructions to have
the claim looked into, and if it is sustained, to
have it Immediately liquidated with interest to
date.

The Wabash and l.. P. & c.

There appears to be some misunderstanding
respecting the relations of the Wabash to the
Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago. The receivers
of the Wabash have asked the court to authorize
them to pay $500 interest due the l., P. & c.,
on that part of the line between Peru and In
dianapolis 1t is apparently forgotten that the
l., P. & G. has also guaranteed the interest on
that portion of the road north of Peru, leased by
the Wabash, and that the total amount of de-
faulted interest due the l., p. 6 c. from the
Wabash, was, Oct l, about $l50000. The bond
holders are clamoring for their money, too, and
an interesting time is in store for somebody.

prices. 1t is reported and believed that the
West Shore has contracted to take grain from
Chicago to New York at cents per bushel.
There seems to be no prospect of an immediate
improvement in the war on passenger rates,
either between New York and Chicago or west
of the latter point AS far as the war in rates
between the trunk hines east of Chicago
is concerned it seems ito be coupled
with a purpose to break down all
prices in order to get possession of certain
stocks. Jersey Central is one, that being the
key to the coal trade. From q New York stand
point it is apparent that the Reading cannot
hold control Of the Jersey Central owing to its
increasing financial embarrassment A note of
the Reading for $75O,00O, due Oct. 10, is re-
ported to been only half paid, and the company
having no other collaterals which bankers are
willing to take to extend the balance"
