Railroad Superintendent

CHICAGO, June 25.-The general superin.
tendents of the railroads centering in this
city have finally decided to form an assOcia-
ton for the protection Of their mutual in
terests. A preliminary meeting looking to
this object was held several days ago. and
a canvass Of the nOn-attendants, which was
completed this morning, shows that there is
a unanimity of opinion concerning the ne
cessity for the formation of an Organiza-
ton. Fears are still entertained of further
railroad labor troubles before fall, and in
such an event the roads, it is understood,
will be prepared to act jointly for each
others interests.

WHOLESALE Poisoning.

PHILADELPHIA, Juno N.-Exactly 214
people were poisoned at last Thursdays
picnic near Pennington, N. j. Six of these
persons will probably die, and twenty are
in precarious condition. One Of the ply
sicians In charge Of the cases has examined
the ice cream cans, and says there was not
enough suiphate Of zinc about them to do
any damage; that the symptoms are those
of arsenical poisoning, and from the fact
that those who first ate of the cream es-
capped, he is of the opinion that the poison
was put into the cream by some one pur-
pOsely. As large number of people were
engaged in serving the cream, it will be diff.
fcult to catch the perpetrators.

Damage, 100000.

PEORIA, LII. June 26.-The warehouse
of the Consolidated Tank Line in this city,
10000 gallons of oil, burned
yesterday afternoon. The burning oil com
municated with the freight house of the
Peoria T. Pekin Union railway near
by, and that was also burned to-
gether with thirty cars and large
quantity of freight. The total loss
will approximate 100000. The Peoria
& Pekin Union railway carries a total Of
insurance Of S25O.00O and the loss will be
adjusted in the proportion that the property
destroyed bears to the whole. The loss Of
the tank line Is estimated at Sl5.O0O. The
burning oil spread in all directions and IL
was with great difficulty that other valuable
property in the vicinity was saved. Tho
fire was one of the most destructive that
has visited this city for years.

Huge Shipments Of Wheat From India-The'
Present Depression.

ST. Louis, June A.-Ex-Governor E. o..
Stanard received to-day from Bruce & Will
son, importers, Of Glasgow, Scotland, .
letter on the grain trade situation in the
United Kingdom, Of which the following
are the most important extracts:
"During the past week the depression
has rather increased than otherwise in tho
grain trade. and there arc some
very weak points in the situation.
In the first place, the arrivals Of bread
stuffs have been very heavy and i'm
excess of requirements. Shipments from
America have been very liberal and to tho
amazement Of all engaged in trade India
dispatched last week 413O0O quarters OF
wheat The ability of our Eastern colony
to ship such an enormous quantity at cur
rent values will tend to revolutionize the
trade, and former experience is quite value
less in tho altered circumstances Of the
trade. 1t may occur that these shipments
may not be repeated. Doubtless large par
GELS Of Indian wheat were sold, April
or May shipments, and the necessity
of fulfilling those contracts before their
term expired may account for such heavy
figures being reached.
