the Jerney electric-iight system. Last night,
under the guidance of Brainard Rorison. secre-
tary Of the Jenney company, they visited the
works and were driven about that portion Of the
city where the light is used. They expressed
great satisfaction at the result of their inspec-
ton, and the only question now is that Of terms
for payment which will, no doubt be satisfac-
torily arranged. in order to give Madison electric
lights, as they have already adopted this system
The plan for that city comprises fifty lights, of

State Chess Tournament.

At o'clock this afternoon, in Room Ii, Thorpe
Block, j. N. Hurry, as president of the Indian
apolis Chess Club, will cali to order ehose at
tending from various parts of this State to form
a State chess association. The organization will
then be perfected, and rules. regulations and
programme made for conducting the tourna-
ment. to convene later in the evening Twelve
different towns and cities have reported
that they will be represented here.
The playing will be governed by
the chess code adopted by the American Chess
Congress at Cleveland. The players. probably,
will be divided into pairs. Each pair will play
till one has won two games when the loser will
be dropped and the winners paired off for another
contest and thus the contest will continue by
pairing and dropping out till the final winner
shall be left alone. This is the only way such a
contest can be carried on without lasting several
days. 1t is hoped that this association can OBJ
tain the names of all chess players in This State
and preserve a record of the same, and continue
meeting once or twice year.

LlNCoLN. Neb.. Dec 28.-It is reported here
that the Burlington company has projected two
new extensions in Nebraska, and will push the
construction rapidly One will be an extension
to the northwest of the Lincoln e. Grand Island
branch. This will make an entrance into new
field for that company, as up to the present time
its operations have been confined almost ex-
clusvely to the territory south of the Platte
river. This branch will be extended
at once as lar as Broken Bow,
miles This will bring large portion of the
North Platte country into direct communication
with the State capital Another extension, to
be made at once. is from Tobias west toward
Blue Hill. This will be a shorter line. 1t is
thought that this branch will also reach Nelson,
the scat of Nuckolls county which is in the
midst of an excellent country. Actual con-
structon Of these lines is to commence as soon
as possible. The Burlington has now prospected
nearly $50 miles of new road in Nebraska alone.

Evidence Which Is Worthless.

A practice has become entirely too common
among passenger men of securing evidence
against an agent of competing line that he has

tee would do we'll to step upon at their coming
meeting in Louisville. KY. We refer to the
practice of buying afidavits Some very low
trickery is resorted to in this direction. A
stranger, for instance, comes to the city, passes
by one of the outside offices; whether he is pro-
posing to go further not, he IS accosted by
one of the curb stone solicitors. Ii he chances
to want ticket, he is induced to 60 into their
office. and if they cannot sell him ticket the
agent will employ him to purchase a ticket over
some other route, and tells him if he will get a
cut of even twenty-five or fifty cents they will
return TO him the money he pays for ticket
over the competing line and give him transporta-
ton over their road if ne will make an affidavit
that he purchased such ticket at a cut rate
Eight out of ten of the men who run from one
Office TO another to get the lowest rate possible
would readily make affidavit that they were
given a cut rate, whether true or not. There
was an illustration of that point last week A
man dropped into an Office on South Illinois
street who wanted to 20 to Northwestern point,
where the fare was some 500. The agent quoted
him the rate. He remarked he would LOOK
further, and as he left the Office the agent sad
"If you can get ticket at a less figure over
any other line we will give you a ticket over our
route and pay you what you gave for the ticket
purchased of competitor" An hour after the
party returned, showed ticket reading over
the other route, which he claimed to have pur-
chased at cut of 81 So Said the agent: "Well,

affidavit will be presented at the Louisville
meeting. The agent who. it is alleged. cut the
