CHICAGO, May 11.--This morning saw
all the Western freight rates restored as per

letter of the bond On the tariff and strictly

The various offices were not overwhelmed
with shippers; they have been taking full

The agreement is being drawn up

VIII Keep Rates Down.

The West Shore has issued a circular
stating that new general agent has been
appointed at, Chicago and will take. charge
of rail and lake traffic, and would solicit
the west-bound business of the merchants
of Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Min
neapolis from New York, Boston and New
England points, to mark and consign by
West Shore steamer; Chicago and Mil
waukee deliveries at Anchor Line
docks. This indicates that the West Shore
means to make determined fight for both
west and east-bound business during the
navigation season in connection with the
Anchor line steamers between Chicago and
Buffalo. This will no doubt have the effect
of keeping lake and rail rates at very low
figures during this season, as the Erie and
New Y York Central will no longer be able to
base their rates between Buffalo and New
York on the regular all-rail tariff rates from
Chicago.

A Death.Trap.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-There is an ap-
plicant, even, for the consulate at Progress,
Mex, where, as state department official
expresses it, the yellow fever reigns the
year round and the song Of the mosquito
never ceases. 1t is said that no incumbent
of the office has ever lived three months in
it, and that it has neither salary nor fees,
yet there is a patriot ready to fill
it. 1t may be the love OF science and not
the love of country that inspires the appli-
cant, for it is Archaoligist Plonjcon who
desires the place. He has been making
some valuable discoveries in his excavation
in Yucatan, but has been interfered with by
the natives and even the local authorities.
He thinks if he can return with the pres
tage of United States consul he will go on
digging without fear of being disturbed.

DROWNED IN THE TRINITY,
In Trying to Save Ten Dollar Boat
Lemuel Alcorn Loses His Life.

Henry Smithers and lIemuel Alcorn
arrived here about three weeks ago
from Grenada, Miss, and lived on the
banks of the Trinity, not far below the
bridge at the brickyard crossing.
They had built a small
skiff, which was last night tied
to tree near the bank. The heavy
rain caused the river to rise rapidly
and nearly drowned the men in their
tent. About II o'clock the water was
so high that Smithers came to the
conclusion that the boat would be
carried away and told Alcorn of his
fears. Alcorn at once set about
saving the boat, and az high flat
ran out to within a few
feet of where the boat lay he waded
into the water with pole In his hand
with which to pull the skiff to higher
land. He soon got beyond his depth
and began to swim, when log float
ing down the river struck him. Cry
| ing out to Smithers, he sank, and
must have been carried down
the stream. Smithers could do moth.
| ing. IL was dark and the river was still
rising. When the rain stopped and
| the moon shown out Smithers found
the skiff gone and no signs OF Alcorn.
| Smithers was seen in town about
O'Clock and related the circumstances
OF the drowning. He says he told
Alcorn not to go, that the boat was
not worth the risk he was running
but Alcorn said there was no danger
Smithers says they intended to go tt
Dallas by boat on Wednesday but
the high water prevented. Smitheri
will leave this morning for Dallas and
will trv 10 recover the body OF his
friend, falling in which he will re
turn TO Grenada. 1t was certainly
a most foolhsrdy action on Alcorn,i
part which cost him his life. Boil
men were poor and expected TO worh
on farms as soon as the weather per
mitted. Alcern was unmarried, abou
% years of age, black hair, mustacht
and eyes. He has brother In GTena

probable that the meeting would have

hoarse from constant speaking In the

the happy faculty OF eliciting the at
tention OF his audience when he utters
the first sentence and never becomes
tedious and uninteresting. he talks
ia plain, common.sense style, and
can be understood even by the most
illiterate OF his hearers. Only few
minutes after eight the choir sang

A few minutes after / o'clock this
morning Capt. McMurrsy was seen in
the Office of the Pickwick hotel by
reporter and asked as to his opinion in
regard to the probability of the man
under arrest ia New Orleans
being Mcintyre. The captain
answered he had no doubt the officers
had the right man. Two weeks ago
Mcintyre was In Denison and one Of
McMurray's men was on his trail but
could get no papers from New Mexico.
Mcintyre had been seen In New Or
and it was known that the woman
who went with Mcintyre had re-
turned from New Orleans as far as
there is bare possibility that
the detectives have nabbed the

sides the case is getting old. Unless
Casey and Moore desert Mcintyre he
cannot be convicted. The captain fur
ther says he Is satisfied Court

leans, but is not in the country at all
b. p. Ayres, who was Courtright'i
and Mclntyre's lawyer in the habeat
corpus trial, says that about
ten days ago he was stand
ing on the platform at Whitesboro
when he was slapped on the shoulder
by man he did not at first recognize
but who proved to be Jim Mcintyre
that he had ut that time {
mustache and gostee and was heavily
armed. Mcintyre told Mr.. Ayres tina
he was going to New Orleans. Mr.
Ayres advised him not to come Il

piled he had no such Intention. Tel
Jim Courtright not to come either,
was further ipjuBction but McIntyr
said he had not heard from Jim o

Mr.. Ayres says a woma
was with Mcintyre at tn
time. These statements prove on
thing, and that Is that Mcintyre wer
