EMEGRANT RATES.
Contemplated Advance by the Pennsyl-

Contemplated Advance by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
CHICAGO, H., July 28.-A private dis
patch received here states that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
tends to issue an order within a day
or two restoring emigrant rates from
New York to Chicago to S13. On the
top Of this comes the information that
the Baltimore & Ohio had decided to re-
duce the emigrant rate from Baltimore
to Chicago to 81. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company reduced its emf
grant rate early last spring to 81 from
New York to Chicago and ST. Louis
and, AS the other roads refused to car
ry any Of this business at less than
S13 the Pennsylvania has been carry
ing nearly all of the emigrant business
this year. If it has decided to ad-
vance the rate now it is no doubt for
the reason that it has made enough
contracts at the 81 rate to keep it
busy until the end of the year. AS far
as can be learned nearly all the emf
grant business to come over this year
has already been contracted for based
upon the 81 rate by the Pennsylva-
MIA. The action of the Pennsylvania,
therefore, will help the other lines but
little for the rest of this season.

Prisoner Excited.

Prisoner Excited.
WINNIPEG, Man., July 30.-In the
Riei trial at Regina, yesterday, the re-
mainder Of the crown witnesses were
examined. and case of prosecution
closed. The evidence bore chiefly on
the part taken by the prisoner in in
half-breeds. Merchants who were i'm
prisoned and their stores raided at
Duck Lake and Prince Albert, gave a.
history OF the early incidents of the
rebellion. Thomas Jackson, brother
OF Riel's secretary, Identified num-
Der of documents in Riel's handwrit-
ing, calling on the half-breeds and In
dams to join him in the rebellion.
Charles Rollin, Riel's cousin, said
that the prisoner told him last Deem
Der that he claimed an indemnity of
100000 from the Dominion govern
ment for losses in the Red River
rebellion. Riel said if he got the in
demnity he would go away, and if
not, would raise rebellion. Witness
deposed as to Riel's leadership of the
rebels. Gen. Middleton was examined
and dwelt chiefly on the events of the
campaign. At one point, Riel's
anxiety got the better of him and he
asked to be allowed to cross-examine
witnesses. He found fault with the
plan of his counsel to rest the defense
on the insanity plea. He was finally
quoted down. Dr. Ray, of Quebec,
and Dr. Clark, of Toronto, reached
Regina yesterday, and inquired into
Riel's mental condition. They will
probably be examined for the defense

EXCITING STREET INCIDENT.
Three Men Seriously Wounded in ar
ARRAY in New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, La, July 28.-At the
corner of Tchoupitoulas and Seventh
Streets, last night, Joseph Casey, Tony
Seibert and Fred. Wilson got into an
argument concerning horses. The dis
cussion waxed warm and Casey struck
Wilson, who returned the blow. Out
siders interfered, and Wilson and Casey
shook hands. Shortly afterward the
party agreed that another reconcilia-
ton was necessary, whereupon Casey
again apologized handsomely. The
handshaking continued until Wilson
was grasping one Of the disputants
affectionately, when Casey drew a
revolver and without warning opened
on the crowd. The first shot struck
Wilson in the neck, passing through;
another plowed it's way entirely
through Mrs. Hausner's side, and the
third went through Tony Seibert's
breast. Casey then reloaded his weap-
on and walked down the street, firing
at everybody he saw, fortunately
without effect. Casey was arrested.
None OF thewounds inflicted will prove
fatal.
