CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The Transcontinental
Railway association continued its session to-
day and tonight. Its members refuse to
give the results reached, but it is learned
from apparently good authority, however,
that most Of the session was occupied with
the question of through rates from seaboard
to seaboard. Owing to the trouble with
eastern trunk lines in regard to their
proportions of the through rates,
it was decided ins stead of basing the business
on the rate between New York and San Fran
francisco to make Chicago and st. Louis
terminal points. The rate between Chicago
and San Francisco will be so per cent. of the
rate between New York and San Francisco,
or from to 30 cents per hundred less ac-
cordIng to class. The commission ership
was not settled

THE RIVER APPROPRIATION
Considered small-Too Many Restrictions
to its Use.

Special to the Globe.
WAsHINGroS, Feb. 97.-The house of rep
rcsentatives to-day passed under a suspen-
sion Of the rules bill apprOpriating S5.OOO,-
GOO for the rivers and harbors, TO BE- prorated
on basis Of the last river and
harbor bill for objects therein specified.
Over tvo-thiris voted for this bill In
many localities OF the Mississippi, this ap-
preparation, though meagre aud insufficient,
will work benefit OF at least prevent a waste
and injury to the public works, but the appro-
pristion for the Mississippi river was clogged
with Holman's prUviso limiting the e1-
penditures to the Plum point and Providence
reaches. This interferes seriously with the
"a sory and plan Of the commission. which
included the repair Of the crevasses in Ger
tain cases and members from the Mississippi
river valley voted TODAY for the hill with the
restrictions. Il was necessary to have two
thirds 10 Go anything, and in order to get
twO-thirds il became necessary to accept
some Of the vicious propositions Of the enc
mics Of the improvement Some Of the au-
tho-s Of the Bill have an idea Of having
il amended in the senate, but it's
urged that any amendment would put the
bin when It comes back TO the house, uu-
der the control Of factions and uuscrupulous
men, who flibustered against the regular
bill snd defeated it although there was 4
clear majority OF the house in favor Of Il.
and every chance had been given for fun
discussion.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 27.-Information
has reached here tonight of horrible trag-
edy in Union county, Kentucky. A farmer
named Nose Cation, living near Smiths
Mills, Union county, and his son last
Saturday hung his wife, whom
he married four years ago. The lady
before she married Cation owned a small par
eel of land which Cation wished her to deed
to him. She declined to do So which en-
ragged him. Saturday with his sons he took
her out and hung her, after beating her ter
rioly. They put the corpse in a box and took
1t in the house. The ladies, neighbors, in
dressing the corpse for burial, discovered
bruises and her broken neck. They reported
the matter to the authorities, who had the
body disinterred. and ordered the arrest of
Cation and his sons. Twenty men led by the
county magistrate went to Caton's house.
Arriving, they met with resistance on the
part of the Cations, whereupon they fred
upon them, wounding Moses Cation in
the ankle and John Cation through
the lungs. Caton's daughter Annie. in at
tempting to shield her father by passing be-
tween him and the posse was shot in the
bowels. Squire Lilly finally stopped the
firing and asked Cation TO surrender. He
would not; they told him they would kill him
and burn the house down, and he decided to
give up. Squire Lilly started off
with his prisoners, Nose Cation,
Wesley Cation, John Cation, Tom
Carter and Joseph E. Fritz and landed them
safely in Jail at Morganfield. John and
Annie are both badly wounded. An attempt
was made to take them away from the squire
and posse and lynch them while on their
way to Morganfeld last night, which was un-
successful, but it is the talk of Union county
that the villains must swing tonight.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 27.-Lieut. Gov.
Hindman has granted William Neal a res
pite for thirty days. Neal was to have been
hung at Grayson, KY, to-day.
GRAYsoN, KY, Feb. 27.-About 2 O'Clock
this morning William Neal received tee-
gram from Acting Gov. Hindman, granting
him respite for thirty days. Sheriff Arm
strong doubted the authenticity of the tele-
gram at first, and Immediately telegraphed
for its confirmation. Hindman re-
sponded as at first ''Save Meals life. -
The guards were aroused and in few min
utes before the reception of the telegram,
Neal accompanied by heavy guard started
for Eastern Kentucky junction to catch the
train for Mount Sterling. Matters were
kept quiet until S o'clock this morning when
it became known. Much indignation was
expressed by the majority of the people,
while few expressed satisfaction. a large

tiol of the good news.

Illinois Central and It's Leased Lines

The Illinois Central road finds that its
leased lines in Iowa are unprnftable and are
decreasing in value. The lease of the Iowa
lines to the Illinois Central will expire iu
October, 1887, and the indications are that
the directors of the latter line will not renew
the lease. The Illinois Central proper termi-
mates at Dubuque, and it has but little use
for the lines beyond that point. In order for
the Iowa lines to be of some advantage
to the Central, 1t would be necessary 10
extend them from Sioux City direct to st.
Paul, or further north on the Manitoba or
Northern Pacific line. 1t is not likely that
the Central will do this, ,as it has connections
in summer by the river steamers from Du-
buque, aud in the winter it csn do its north
ern business by its connections cheaper than
it could by operating line of its own in
territory which is well supplied with railroads
already. The Northwestern road will likely
take the Iowa roads at the expiration of their
contract with the Central, as that company
has long desired to secure control Of them.

information that other members Of the cabi-
net will De Judge Endicott Of Massachusetts,,
Hon. William c. Whitney OF New York

the fact Of this selection is not so positively
known as the four first named and it is said
that the places they are to fill respectively
will not be decided finally until next week,
when the president reaches Washington.
Messrs. Bayarl and Garland, were each in
turn subjected to heavy fire as soon as it was
known that they were likely to be appointed.
but without shaking the presidents deter
minauon. The presidents only hesitation
in respect to Mr. BAyard was whether to

Got More Than Enough.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. 27.-The reason assigned
by the Hamburg Steamship company for re-
storing rates to their old standard is that
the applications for passage were coming in
so rapidly that all the ships operated by the
company could not accommodate those who
wanted passage. During the short time that
the rates were so extremely low sufficient
booking was done to keep the company busy
until next September, and the necessity of at
once restraining the increasing demand was
obvious, and to do this the rates were put at
$50, an advance of S22 over the cut.
