CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-General Traffic Manager
Kimball and General Passenger Agent Moore, of
the Union Pacific, passed through the city yes
tcrday on their way,to attend the meeting of the
trancontinental association tomorrow. j. +.
Goddard, general traffic manager of the Santa
Fe and Thomas Miller, general freight agent
of the Burlington & Missouri River, also left
yesterday for the same place. None of them ex-
press much hope that the association can sur
vive unless the tripartite alliance is relegated to
oblivion. The conference will have a number OF
knotty problems to solve. The Santa Fe will not
cancel its notice of withdrawal unless the tripar-
tite should be dissolved. The Union Pacific peo-
pie, while they heartily sick of the
alliance, will yet be afraid to promise It's
dissolution for the simple reason that president
Cables boldly expressed determination to hold
them to the contract has efTectually smoothed
any Independence they might have possessed
The Texas s. Pacific will not come back into the
association unless it be transformed into a pool
and that could not be done without running
squarely afoul of the tripartite deal The
Atlantic & Pacific will not compromise except it
I've granted additional concessions, on account OF
the extension OF its service through to the
Pacific coast. With so many complications to
deal with, there is very little hope that any
degree Of success will be attained at to-morrows

The Jim River Tornado.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. /


DIANA, Oak, Aug 31.-Last Friday afternoon
about O'Clock small black cloud was seen
coming from the northwest, and when about ff-
teen miles distant large spout came down out
OF the cloud and appeared to raise smoke when
1t touched the ground. 1t crossed the Jim river
about ten miles from here. 1t killed twenty
eight cattle. Two young men who had been
thteshing saw it coming toward where their
parents lived, and started on two mules to
get across its path ahead of it. But they just
came into the edge of it. The Oldest one jumped
off his mule and told his brother to do the same
and lie down on the ground. The first one to
jump lay in a dead furrow on piece of break
ing and escaped He saw his brother jump, but
in five minutes he found him sixty rods away and
every bone in his body broken. Both mules
were killed. The man killed was Angus Killop;
his brothers name is John. About
three miles northwest of here the storm tore
down Sam Kings barn and moved his house OFF
the foundation. W. A. Wise had nice frame
one-story house, well built, which cost about
$500. He was absent at the time, but near
enough to the destruction of his home, His
boy gave the alarm and the mother and her three
children had barely time to get into the cellar
when the house was raised from its foundation
and dashed to pieces in the garden ten rods away,
After making havoc along a path of about two
miles, the storm broke in two. There was not
much rain accompanying it.

TOLClNyC LORE.

The amount OF ncwsp per eruditiou which
has been developed 10y the late earth-trem-
bling along the eastern portion Of the north
ern states, is something that is perfectly
marvellous. Among other newspapers which
have distinguished themselves concerning
the late Seismic" disturbance is one in
Chicago which, in treating OF the nature of
VOLCANOES, says, they ''are not worlds on fire,
but simply fires turning in mountains" and
further that ''yo,Canos are simply burning
mountains. or lOCa, fires" This is in con-
sonancc with the definition Of the com
mon-school biographies which define vol
csno as burning mountain which emits
fame and smoke"
Now, as matter of fact, volcano is not
a mountain; il does not hurn, and It does
not emit either flame or smoke. With the
exception Of these particulars. the common
IN received definition of volcano NAV be
accepted rs being entirely correct The fact
that volcano is not necessarily mountain
is abundautly demonstrated by the fact that
in many csses cruptioas take place at the
base of moautainuu~ ranges, aud beneath

the best informed vGleaniS,S that where a
mountain envelops the crater Of volcano,

made upof the overflow Of the material erup-
ted hy the volcano, and has no other eonnec-
tion with It. Heuee, 4 volcano is not a

T4KE FACTIONS.

There is wholesome application possible
from the recital of the following racY Incl
dent. The story runs that Russell Sage, the
Wall street prince, that was, poked his head
in at his New York Office one morning last
week, where he had not been since the Bird
of July last, and told the 'boys'' he would
be with them again by the first of October.
Mr.. Sage is only 6S years old, but the
shock that followed that dropping of 81, O0O,-
900 taught him and his physicians that there
had been altogether too much of the work
that is nine-tenths worry in his life. Now
he sees that he must go alower, or lie down
under ''six feet Of EARTH and cease going at
all. He says he hadn't had a vacation since
he was 20 years of age. Other men, who
haven't been so actively pushing for money
rs Mr.. Sage has been, but are striving for
fame or political honors, are bearing the same
warning. Secretary Of the Treasury Folger
is at home, worn and sick from oyerwork,
and the resplendent Mr.. Blaine has to call
halt to his enthusiastic friends, while he
knucklcs to the demon of bilious fever.

WIPIYG OFT OUR ILLUsTOys.

General Grant approves of Blaine's letter
of acceptance, and disproves something of
more importance to the historic and senti-
mental world. 1t annuls the opening of
Conklings great speech at the Chicago con
vention, and gives Miles O'Reilley's ringing
stanza the 20 by as pure poetic licence. The
two generals, Grant and Lee, did not stand,
sit or lounge under an apple tree. The rebel
army halted near an apple orchard, and Gen.
Grants messenger, Gen. Babcock. found
Lee seated on a bank, with his feet in
wagon rut, and thercfrom summoned him to
pass through the lines into Grants head
quarters.
No AppomattpX apple tree and no school
book picture to show the crushed Con federate
solder detected by giving up his sword to
the Silent Smoker whose ''name and inhu-
cnce" were afterwards to represent so much
cash capital to those honorable and scru-
puious fnaucirrs Mr. Ferdinand Ward and
Mr.. james d. Fish.
This is too bad-this evanishment of our
pictorial belief in that memorable scene
which Ccnkling mad SO splendidly reinforced
for us at Chicago.
Grants recent ''letter to G friend" undoes
all. SO did his letter to Mr.. James d. Fish.
