uniform schedule of rates on export

Session Continued.

A continuance of the session of the rail
road commissioners and officials of the sew
eral lines running to Chicago, was held yes
terday morning, the time. as at previous
sessions. being given to comparison of
tariffs on wheat. 1t is understood that
both commissioners and officials insisted on
maintaining the positions already taken.
and that practically the questions at issue
were about as wide of an adjustment as be-
fore. 1t is said that the officials argued
again that it would be useless for them to
submit new tariffs to conform to the
reasonable rate" until there was a defni-
ton of terms. The law creating the conf
mission and defining their duties, does not
allow it to establish rates, but it gives them
the authority to see that officials shall make
such rates as seem to the commissioners to
be fair and equitable. 1t is limited that the
commissioners have not yentured to make
out tariff of its own, as it might be con-
strued as an attempt to exceed its powers
and establish rates. So loud was the call
of officials for statement of the views of
the commissioners, that at yesterdays meet
ing the latter agreed to forward to each of
the companies that have been taking issue
with them. a schedule for grain rates, with
the understanding that it is simply an ex-
preston of opinion and not an attempt to
fix the rates. These schedules will be for
warded as soon as possible. though the
officials will, of course, have their own op-
ton as to wether or not they will meet

like poetry, and we think it can be made

PECULIAR PROCEEDINGS.
A Novel Case I'm the County Court-..
4 Girl Sent tn the State Indus
trial School.

A peculiar case WAS disposed of in the
county court this morning, the first of the
kind ever heard in the county. There is
| state law which provides that girls un-
der IA years of age may be sent to the
industrial school for girls at Evanston,
which is "a state institution, if it be shown
in evidence before a jury that she is CIV
en- to beggary, without reason, thieving,
characters. or if her parental guardianship
is lacking and improper. There is in
Moline law and order society, of which
the noted Julia Ann Dunn is president.
The purpose of this concern Is not only
to see that the laws of the state are ems
forced but watch the habits of the youth
of the city of both sexes, This society
has employed one A. r. Drury as detec
tive. and it was through his obscrva-
tons and exertions that Mamie Laf>
ferty. pretty and apparently bright girl
of 10 years was tried in the county court
this morning as fit subject for the n>
dustrial sch DOL.
The case was heard by Judge Adams
and a jury consisting of l., F.
Harson, f. Housman. G. llobcr-
lath. j, Miller, Julius Utke and
Thomas Thornton. In the absence OF
counsel the court appointed W. J. Entri
kin to defend the girl. A large number OF
witnesses were examined, the testimony
showing that the girl was given TO beg
ging without cause, and to keeping bat
company. A lady from this city testified
that the defendant had called at her
house with two other girls, the three
claiming to be orphans from Ottawa, and
subjects of pity and charity. The lady
gave them quarter each, and afterward
found that she had been deceived. The
parents of the girl are living but are lie
gally separated, the child being in charge
of her mother, who said in evidence tina
she could do nothing with her daughter
that she was dsobedient and given to de-
ceiving her. The verdict was.
We, the jury, find the defendant
Mamie Latferty, to be adependent infant
and that her age was thirteen years, june
90, 1885, and that the material facts il
the petition arc true.
The girl will be taken TO Evanston b.,
