pected that this reduction will serve TO slim
ulate immigration to the west This is the
third reduction this road has determined
upon. On the 1st of January the transcon-
tinental lines reduced the rates from all
eastern points to the Pacific coast points. On
the 25th of January new tariff from 81.

disc to interior points in Oregon and wash

comes the third reduction to take effect on

The Var Sfift Goes On.

The lines running east from Chicago are
having very hard time of it in regard to
freight, and there seems to be no way out OF
the difficulty. All lines seem to be openly
and secretly cutting the rates. On Wednes-
day it was discovered that the lines to the
east had made rate Of twenty cents on
grain and twenty-five cents on provisions
from Chicago TO New York, and as the ap-
pearances were that the rates would go
good deal lower 1t was evident that some
thing must be done. The Michigan Central
being far ahead of its allotted percentage, is
taking as little business as possible at the
reduced rates, and the general manager has
given orders not to go below
twenty cents on grain for the
present. The local committee of
Chicago, on east bound freight traffic held a
meeting and exchanged views in regard to
the situation. Quite number of the mem
bers declared they were not taking any bust
ness for less than tariff rates, but every one
present knew this was not true and all smiled.
Everybody present admitted the situation OF
affairs was serious one and that if some
thing was not done to stop the cutting OF
rates the decentralization would upset all
business. Com missioner Fink mas cdli(
another meeting of the joint executive COM
mittee for next week when rigorous effort
will be made TO settle the present troubles.
On the whole there is little confidence that
the troubles will be settled. A sort of confer
ence was subsequently held among some of
the railroad officials and a temporary
rate of 20 cents from Chicago to New York
on grain and flour aud 20 cents on provisions
was agreed to, but there is no more reason
to think this rate will stand any more than
those that have already been upset. Some
prominent railroad officials are OF the opinion
that the present conflict is a scheme on the
part of the Pennsylvania and the New York
Central to depress West Snore securities in
order 20 give them an opportunity to buy up
The West Shore has been a thorn in the side
of the trunk lines ever since it was opened
for business. and it was stated q short time
ago that rumors were atioat that the trunk
lines meant to buy the West Shore, aud thus
place it in u position where it could no
longer do them any harm. If such is the
case, the present war will no doubt continue
Tor some time.

A Handsome p,o,.m,-weu se.,o,eed.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. T. w. Teasdale,
general passenger agent of the Chicago, st..
Paul d Omaha road, was made the recipient
OF handsome and valuable gold watch, the
same being presented by his friends in the
Omaha headquarters building and along the
line OF the road. There was no foolishness
about the manner OF presenting the same.
On the contrary the manner IN which that
part OF the transaction was done was very
iudicious and suitable. The watch was OBJ.
tanned from the establishment Of Messrs
Myers d Finch, and was sent down to Mr..
Teasdsle about O'Clock In the evening by
that firm. The inscription upon tue watch
informed Mr.. Teasdale what 1t all
meant, and no further explanation was
needed. The result was that Mr.. TeasdaIe
was good deal surprised when he opened
that little package and found what It con-
tanned. The whole outfit consisted Of gold
hunting case watch, solid gold chain and
an elegant charm. On one side Of the case
on the outside was a monogram OF the first
letters of his name, ct. w. T." On the in
side was inscribed the following: 81. w.

RGiiroad accident.

short distance east of La Crosse, rail-
road accident occurred yesterday, which, it
is reported, caused no loss Of life or injury
% any person. When one considers the ma
ture of the accident it seems very strange
that it could have happened and no one
should have been injured. The particulars
are very meager indeed. The report is that
the Milwaukee train No. 3. coming towards
st. Paul, when near La Crosse ran into a
freight train, which caused the whole
passenger train TO leave the track, and
yet though the whole train was
thrown from the rails no person was injured
OF course all the trains tnat were behind the
passenger tram were delayed. track was
quilt around the wreck and the fast mail
train came around and reached st. Paul sew

Il Sch0OneI''s Fatal VOyGge.

The Sandy Hook pilot who board
ed the schooner Joseph Farwell,
which arrived yesterday, thirty one
days from AspInwall or Colon, found
u sad state If affairs ON board that
craft. She was under fore and main
sail aud jib, and her main boom was
fshed with pieces Of old Oar blades
married down with spun yarn, her
whole appearance deno'ing rough
usage on The passage. There were
but two persons visible OF deck, one,
n. Sand"rson, the mate, at the wheel,
and The other leaning up against The
weather rail. Tney were tie only
men fit tor duty OUT of a crew Of
seven, two passengers and one stow
away.
Tie story Of her trip was told yes
terday afternoon to a "WorId" re-
porter Ivy Mr.. Sanderson. Sailing
from New York, the schooner, in
command If VIM. II, Davis, arrived
in A~pinwalI on Sept. % last. While
d s~charging cargo at the Pacific Mail
dock til" crew were successfully
taken down with Chagres fever,
There being but small accommodate
ton on board, application was made
TO tie American | onsuI to have the
sick removed to "a hospital. That
tunctionary said there was no place
in which the men could be cared for
ON shore and they were forced to do
the best they could. Sept. 30 NlelS
Nelson, a seaman, died on board
aud with difficulty his body was
taken ashore and native s bribed to
bury it. Mate Sanderson, who had
been very low, commenced to recover,
and ON Oct. 3 was able to be up and
about the vessel. He busted himself
among the sick, but medicines were
hard to obtain and of nurses there
were none, and on Oct, 4 Gustav
Young, another seaman, succumbed
t. the disease. Then the others Of
the crew of four men became thorough

Capt. Davis being at the time con-

crew of five men was obtaired, and,
taking two passengers on board, the
schooner sailed on Oct. 18th with a
load of ivory aud nuts for this port.
Hardly had the vessel got TO sea
when the Captain and M man were
taken sick, and ON the 18th seaman

To the Editor Of "Tbe Dominican"

To the Editor Of "The Dominican"
Sir,-A considerable section OF our
people seem to be easily duped into
the happy delu<ion that untold treas
sure lies buried throughout the length
and breadth of Dominica. There IS q
current story to the effect that during
the frequent struggles between the
French and the English for the mas
terry of this island, the wealthy set
tiers Of those times, having had no
other means of security, were by
force of circumstances compelled to
adopt the method of burying their
vast treasures in the earth as the only
safe e~xpedient for guarding against
the chances and consequences of war.
, 1885-12-19

fected the dep0sitorS of all this trea-
sure, but, in order to give consistency
to the story, it must be presumed
that "some were shot dead, and some of
them fled" leaving unreclaimed their
several treasures in these secret re-
poSitories.
This legend has from time to time
served as the basis Of the operations
of crafty and designing F~renchmen,
who, protesting TO be able, by mes
merism or other occult means, to dis
cover hidden treasures, practice sue
c2>>fully on the credulity of the peo-
pie. The practitioner of the day is
ii native of Martinique, a man OF some
education, and one who seem per
fcctIy Inscriptions in adopting any
mean that might give an imposing
and mystic colouring to his art. Not
long ago he and two Of his dupes were
brought beforethe Magistrate at Ports
mouth for trespassing on the Foye Es-
tate, where they were caughta at a ghost,
ly hour Of the night digging for buried
treasure. On that occasion he got
off favourably enough 10y paying an
ordinary fine for the simple trespass.
But he is once more sin the hands of
tn. Phllistines" charged with a SINH
lar offtnce-the scene of operation
this time being Lasoye.
On the night of Saturday the 7th
instant, at IA dismal hour Cf the night
usual for such practices, Mr.. Walker
Africa, who ii would seem was on the
look our, saw three men digging at a
somewhat >equcstered spot on his es-
tate adjoining Wesley Village. The
men were identified-one of whom
was the Frenchman-and we've subse-
Quently unprecedented. A quasi in
quest was held by the Deputy Coro-
ner of the District. The result of the
inquiry was the assumption that trea-
sure had been discovered and conceal
ed. in accordance with this verdict
the men, who are still in the custody
Of the police, stand charged with hav-
inc concealed Treasure trOUe, the sub
ircr of which will be further %inyesti-
gated by the acting District Magis-
trate at the Wesley police court on
Wednesday coming, the 18th instant,
On that very Saturday night in
question a deed, surprising in atroci-
ty anything hitherto known in the an
nails of crime at I.asoye, was perpetra-
ted at Wesley Village. Mr.. Marle's
horse was caught and taken to a place
in the immediate vicinity of the scene
of the digging, where it was hung to a
tree and barbarousIy killed. The
dead carcase of the animal was found,
the following Monday in the same
position it was left by the cruel per-
petrators the Saturday night before.
Whatever may be the connection
between the two circumstances, 1t is
difficult to fad out at present. 1t has
since transpired, however, that an at,
tempt at digging for the treasure had
been fruitlessIy made on a previous
occasion. The medicine-man attribu-
ted the failure to the want of blood
no doubt to propitiate the malignant
spirit which is proverbialIy said to
guard such treasures. One of the
trio offered to kill a goat but the

vessel at the time was near the port
of Dame Marie, on the West End Of
the island Of Hayti, and Mate Sander
son concluded to make that port 50
as to bury Capt. Dayis'> body on dry
land. Two Days afterward til y ar
rived there aS9 were about taking
the body on shore when The com
mlndlnt of The Ibrt forbade them 10
d. 80. That night the schooner put to
sea, and when clear of til" harbour
the G ptan's remains were committed
TO the deep. There were then three
men sick, two OF them dangerously
so. The mite had resolved to 90
into the port of Blracoa when a
change for the better took place in
the cond ton of the men and the
vessel continued on her course With
the assistance of the two passengers

tered which lasted twentv-four hours,
during whichthe schoonerlly toounder

Their storm almost overwhelmed the
vessel two DAYS afterwards while in
the Gulf stream and she was forced
to lay too for three days with the sea
