A Queer Transaction.
Boston Trav eller.

DOSuOu GiitT-
There is society in this city known for
its good works. 1t has well-pald agents.
Some of them are very well paid A few
years ago one Of this class was regarded
as almost useless, and there was talk
of discharging him. He had kept
on because he was known 10
have some money. and talked of remember
ing the society i'm his will. One day about
this time he appeared at the Office of the So
ciety and gave the chief officer thereof his
will, to be kept in the society's safe. He,
however, allowed the official TO read the
document. which was carefully drawn and
gave the society the handsome sum of S1O.-
600 outright, and the remainder of his es-
tate at the death OF two relatives, who were
10 have the income thereof.
This. he explained, was not less than
$50. 900. There was no more talk of cut
ting off his salary. Since that time-no
matter how long ago-the man. still an
agent OF the society, died. The officers of
the society sent a So bouquet to his funeral.
Weare not sure that they did not have I'M
der consideration the wearing of Grape for
him. The denouement came n few days
later. He had made a second will the day
after that first one which was so ostenta-
tiouslY handed TO the society. and in it he
gave all his property-not quite $40, 00e-
to his wife. In fact, it was one of those
cases of mans dealings with man that

SIGNAL SERVICE FRAUDS.
Second Comptroller Maynard Dis
covers Many IrreguIarities.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Mr. Maynard,
second comptroller of the treasury. has made
report upon the adjustment and settle
ment of the accounts of disbursing officers
Of the signal service, which, as he asserts,
shows that many apparently irregular and
unauthorized disbursements have been
made. The report says that from Sept. 81,
1880, TO March l9, 1884, 1t would appear
that the expenditures for telegraphic serv-
ices aggregated upwards of half million
of dollars. No sufficient vouchers are pre-
scented for this expenditure. Vouchers are
presented for the alleged rent of wire from
the Western Union Telegraph company be-
tween Washington and Cape May, Norfolk,
Lewes and Philadelphia for several years
at S15, 900 per annum. No allowance can
be made for the rent of leased lines, and no
authority Is shown TO exist comforting power
upon the chief signal officer TO rent private
lines. Since 1878 over $3.50, 900 have been
appropriated for the construction, MAIN
taeance, ETC., Of military telegraph lines
What lines have been constructed or
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THEM
does not appear. Bills for representation
and exhibition at the Paris electrical con-
gress of 1881 to the amount of about SIS. 500
are shown. Many of these were unauthor-
lied. From September, 1880, to August,
1882, bills to the amount Of over 500, 600
for services of civilian employees, experts,
ETC., in the Washington office only appear,
and were mainly paid out of the appro-
priation for the observation and report of
storms. Such expenditure was unauthor-
lied. Between July, 1882, and Jan. l., 1884,
there was expended over $40, 900 in the
erection of permanent buildings and struc-
lures. This expenditure was in violation of
section 1926 of the Revised Statutes, which
prohibits the erection of permanent build
ings unless detailed estimates have pre-
viously been approved by congress. Many
items appear which were paid out of ap-
preparations which were not applicable to
their payment if authorized. The comp
trOller says that all of the accounts which
have been filed with the accounting officers
relating to this service since September,
1880, require an examination and adjust
ment, and such Of them as have been ex-
amined and settled on a different basis
should be re-eXamined.

AN 1MPORTANT DEAL.
The Baltimore & Ohio and Chicago
&Atlaniic Have a Scheme.

Special to the Globe
CHICAGO, Jan. 27-There is good author
ity for stating that the rumors relative to
negotiations between the Chicago d Allan
tic and the Baltimore & Ohio. looking to
closer traffic arrangements, have a founda-
ton in fact, and if an agreement
is arrived at, will result in some
very important changes. The proposition
as between Mr.. Jewett and Mr.. Garrett,
contemplates the building of line from
Marion, o., the present eastern terminus
Of the Chicago g. Atlantic, to GAINESVILLE,
o., where connections will be made with
the Baltimore & Ohio. 1t is expected that
by the time this new road is built the Balti-
more IL Ohio will have secured its New York
entrance, thus giving the Chicago IL Atlantic
equal facilities to what it has enjoyed with
the Erie. The dicker also contemplates the
use of the Chicago &5 Atlantic'S Chicago
terminal and the Baltimore d Ohio for its
passenger and possibly a portion of its
freight business. This would solve prob
lem that is puZzling Baltimore 81 Ohio
people, and they could view with in
difference the result of the legal contest as
to terminals now pending between them
and the Illinois Central railroad. The rela-
tons now existing between the Chicago &
Atlantic and the Erie are anything but har-
monious and are growing worse daily.
The Erie throws all of its west-bOund
freight to the Pennsylvania roads, refuses
to furnish Chicago & Atlantic with cars for
east-bOund business or return cars beyond
or hired by the Chicago & Atlantic to load
its freight out of Chicago, and it is charged,
appeals to western connections to divert
their traffic from the Chicago & Atlantic.
This state of things is anything but pleas
ant. and there is nothing strange in the fact
that President Jewell is casting around in
other directions for a friendly outlet.

port to Chicago via Byron, Sycamore and
st. Charles. and reports the route as being
a most feasible one, nearly an air line with
scarcely curve. and in no instance grade
to exceed thirty feet to the mile. The
company has secured nearly all the right
of way over the old Chicago, st. Charles
& Mississippi Air line from Chicago TO st.
Charles. and has also secured an entrance
into Chicago in conjunction with the Wis
consin Central and the Chicago 81 st Louis
railroads over the Great Western Ter
minal company. Mr.. Baldwin Is looking
I'D another route from Byron to Chicago
via De Kalb and Aurora. He will start a
corps of engineers as soon as he reaches
Chicago on this new preliminary. 1t is the
intention to commence work early in the
spring. and push il TO completion as fast as
possible. The distance from st. Paul to
Chicago via the new line is 400 miles,
being nineteen shorter than any other
route. The whole line from Freeport TO
st. PauI is surveyed, and 100 miles perma-
nently located.

HUDSON BAY ROUTE.
A Very Important Meeting Held at
Winnipeg Last Week.


Winnipeg Last Week.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Dixon
and Travelling Passenger Agent Ross of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul road returned yester-
day from an extended trip over the North
west. They went first to Winnipeg, then
to Fargo, Jamestown, Miles City and
Helena. They did not do much business
on the way, running out of material before
the trip was ended. At Winnipeg they
transacted some very important business,
though to such giant railroad schemers it is
looked upon as mere bagatelle. The
business consisted in arranging all prelimi-
naries for the building of the famous Hud-
sons bay route from Winnipeg north to
some point on Hudson's Bay, to be deter
mined when the line reaches there. Mr..
Dixon in an interview made the following
statement, i'll his clear and comprehensive
way, the truth of which Mr.. Ross endorsed:
When left st. Paul it was with the inten-
ton of hurrying on the work of construction
of the Hudson's Bay road as quickly as possi-
bic. On arriving at Winnipeg, was received
in a quiet way by others interested in the
scheme. We talked over what had best be
done, and the meeting broke up after q few
hours hot discussion without any other action
being taken than my election as president and
the appointment of general manager
whose name do not wish at present to make
known. l proposed that the company be
made both a railway and navigation one, and
that the line commenced at Big Stone Lake
Mimi, SO that Minnesota and Dakota would
both have a show at the BENEFITS to be de-
rived from such line. That the Red river
be made navigable from Lake Traverse, when
an outlet will be had TO Lake Winnipeg, from
where the railroad could be built. Ny pro-
posal did not meet the approval of the COM
pany and am now all of tremble, thinking
may possibly be fired from the presidency

The Northern Pacific Land Deal.

The real estate transfer by the Northern
Pacific road, mentioned in yesterday morn
ing's GLOBE, was the transferring OF prop
erty TO the st. Paul & Northern Pacific.
The Northern Pacific company, under the
Willard regime. purchased large amount
of property between the two cities. 1t then
organized the st. Paul e. Northern Pacific
company as terminal for the Northern
Pacific at st. Paul, the former contracting
to build line from Brainerd to St Paul.
One of the stipulations of the contract was
that when the line was completed TO ST.
Paul a certain amount of terminal property
should be transferred to il, and this was
done 10 the extent of S75, 900 worth, as
stated in the GLOBE.
