a Proposed Matrimonial Alliance Which
Terminates In Breach OF Promise Suit.
Boston, MASS. january.
James DeshOn, a millionaire stock
broker, aged eighty-five, for thirty years
prominently known on State street, is
sued for 100000 damages for breach of
promise by Mrs. Lillian S. Walker, OF
Dedham, Mass, widow of thirty years,
who comes of wealthy Baltimore fam
ily, and is highly educated and accom-
plished. She married ut eighteen a South
ern gentleman, who died some years ago,
leaving her childless widow. She re-
moved from Baltimore TO New York city,
and in 1881 came to Boston. Being in
reduced circumstances, she resided with
relatives on Beacon Hill, and supported
herself by copying, painting, drawing ami
writing poetry for the magazines.
Dcshon met her by chance, and soon
became III ardent wooer. In the summer
Of 1882 she consented to become his
wife. A week before the appointed we'd
ding he fell suddenly i'll, and the mar
riage was postponed. She nursed him
through his illness, and the day was
again set, but just week before its ar
rival he again fell ill. The lady now
became suspicious and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Deshon told her that he could
not keep his engagement. Hence the
suit. Deshon claims that the whole af-
lair is an attempt ut blackmail.

GLESDIyE, NJ. T., January ].
Cattle on the ranges tributary to
Gleudiye are generally reported to be
in good condition, especially natives and
Texas. Stock that arrived late in the
season have suffered some, but even in
this class the loss so far is hardly worth
mentioning. Mable Bros, who landed 4
herd of Texas cattle in September on
the Red Water, have lost few head,
and some losses are reported on ORAL
Ion and Coven Creeks among the same
class of cattle. Pearson, Estabrook &
Clark, whose range is in the bad route,
have as yet reported no losses out of Il
herd of 1900 head, with calves dropped

THE CARRYING INTERESTS
Discussed by Chief of the Bureau of Statis-
tics NimmO.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., JanuaryS. 8.
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics Nimmo,
in his annual report on internal COM
merce, says that the average rate of
freight charged on railroads in the United
States during the year 1884 was less than
half the average rate charged in 1883,
and that concurrently there was an
enormous increase in the volume OF
traffic. Mr.. NimmO discusses the subject
of pooling very fully, and in speaking of
the determinations which such contests
engendered as between shippers and rival
cities, he says: Falsehood and decep-
tion were the rule and fair dealing the
exception. This state of affairs was ut
terly demoralizing to trade, for it was in
contravention of the great fundamental
law of ethics that in the competitive
struggles of life men shall be permitted
to live and labor in an open field and in q
pure atmosphere.
He does not assume that no better ex-
pedient than pooling can be adopted for
the protection of the commercial, in
tiustrial and transportation interests of
the country against the destructive and
demOraliZing effects of wars of rates, but
that they are, at the present time, the
only known eXpedient that seems to be
available for accomplishing that purpose.
He thinks, however, that it is easier to
regulate the great pools than to regulate
the roads separately.
