The latest ssumor.

An Associated Press dispatch last Satur-
day morning from Boston announced the
raising OF 4 sum of money to aid the Wis
consin Central in completing its line from
SchlesSingerville 10 Chicago. and concluded
by saying: at is not known whether or
not the Baltimore * Ohio is concerned in
this or not" \ prominent railroad official
was asked yesterday what possible connec-
ton there could be between the Baltimore
& Ohio and the Wisconsin Central. well, :;
said he, there may be more than appears
at first sight. The Baltimore 81 Ohio have
been running into Chicago over the tracks
of the Illinois Central for several years.
But last summer the Baltimore & Ohio was
served with a writ of ejectment by the
Illinois Central, the case was appealed. and
the matter is now in the courts awaiting
adjustment. If they are deprived of
the use of the tracks OF the Illinois Central
they must seek some other entrance to Chi
cago. They may do one of two things
either build a line themselves or secure
the use of what is known as the Belt line.
The latter would be the most feasible. and
would enable them TO run into Chicago
over the new line of the Wisconsin Cen
trail and give them freight depot within

the young peddler who is charged with
dropping an internal machine on the piazza
of John MalSeskie's residence last
Friday night. MalSeskie picked
the thing IN and had both
hands badly injured. He is still confined TO
his bed. and being well advanced in years,
it is likely to be sometime before he fully
RECEIVERS from the shock. Rubin has been
held at the central station, but was
to-day transferred to the jail. He MAIN
tains his denial of all knowledge to
how the explosive came to be placed where
il was found. The residents in the vicinity
of MaleSkie's house are certain that Rubin
is guilty, although no one can be found who
saw him have an explosive in his posses
sion. The evidence is entirely circumstan-
tial. but no of a strong character.

GEN. BLACK, OF Danvil!o, Illinois, who
has been appointed commissioner f pen.
uiops, wss born at Lexington, Missouri,
in 1889. He graduated at Waba.h col.
lege, Indiana, AMI fought CALAMITY for
the union during the war, coming out a
brjgadier.2ereral. Immediately upon
being mustered out he was admitted to
the p~ractioe of law, he having studied In
a Chicago law Office just prior to the war.
Ger. Black has taken an active part in
democratic politics, and has frequently
been honored by nominations for Office
when the Office WAS out Of eight OF bis
party. In this way he has made seversl
congressional races in the Danviile dis.
trict, being the nominee of his patty last
fell. Gen. Black was the democratic
c,ndldatefor Acknowledgements In 1872
and when Gen. Logan was sent TO thu
senate in 1879 Black was the demo-
cratic caucus nominee. He was a
delegate-at large to the late democratic
national convention, before which an at
tempt was made to put him In nomination
for the vice-presldency, which he pre-
vented. He was mentioned as q candi.
date for the Inited States senate from
Illinois, and it is suspected that his ap'
| pointment to be commissioner of pensions
! was due to thu influence OF Morrison,
who made a flying trip to Washington
Immediately after the Inauguration. Nor.
rlson was afraid that Black might be
trotted out against him as a dark horse In
the senatorial race, and he accordingly
wanted to get him out of the way and at
the came time strengthen himself with
Blacks influence. However, the ap-
pointment of General Black is an emil
rently proper one, he being an old sol
der, aud we believe it will prove satis.

ODDS AND ENDS.

Talking about the new administration

picked up the other day in regard to the &C.
quaintance of some of our citizens with the
men that have been brought to the front at
Washington. l am told that Colonel Savage
is an old friend of Judge Endicott, the new
secretary of war, Of whom he speaks in the
highest terms. These two gentlemen were in
the came class at Harvard college, where they
graduated. Incidently j am reminded that

he stood up as %groomsman, and during the
war he was a warm friend of General Fire.

Haney was a schoolmate of Col. Villas, the
postmaster general, in Wisconsin, and re.
members him as being a very bright
young man. Judge Villas, the father
Of the colonel came from Vermont
to Wisconsin, and was several times
elected a member of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Upon his death he left quite a fortune, but
when it was divided among his large
family, it did not give to each n very large
sum. William +. Villas, his son, who has risen to
a cabinet position, graduated at the Wisconsin
state university at Madison, studied law and
soon after beginning practice he built up a
large law business. For some years he has
been making from $l5, 900 to $4,000 a year,
and is said to be worth in the vicinity of
5000, coo. His elegant nome az Madison Is
worth about $50, 900. He is not yet forty-iye
years of age. He Is said to be Il shrswd bust
ness man aud rather close in financial a~ffairs,
but nevertheless is very popular among all
who know him. Mr., j. j. L, G. Jewett, the

Of becoming governor of the empire
