NO FREIGHT FOR CHICAGO.

A, O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
Freight Agent Stoddard, of the c., r. |.
& p, received orders from General
Freight Manager Sage, of the c.. X. l. "
P, to receive no freight for Chicago
direct or points beyond-exceptlive stock
and perishable goods-until further or
ders. The order is but a duplicate of
one which has been sent to every agent
on the company's western and south
western lines, and is uedbecause of the
crippled condition of affairs in Chicago
growing out Of the freight handlers

THE 20" INSTRUCTIONS.
Division Freight and Passenger Agent
Mack, of the c.. B. 8 O., has received
instructions to send no package freight
to Chicago. necessitsaing transfer until
otherwise informed, but car load lots are
going through on this line as usual.
LINKS AND PINS.
1t is again rumored-and this time ups
on pretty good authbrity-that the con
Meeting link between this city and Peo-
ria over the r. l. & P. is to be
put in, and that force of men have been
engaged TO commence worksOn the stretch
between Gable and Galesburg, and that
operations were com menced this morning.
Superintendent Sudl9w, however, denies
the statement, and dlaims that the men
have been sent out for repairing the track.
A ral,road official, however, does not al
ways tell all that he knows, and one as
efficient and experienced as is Mr.. Sud-
low has very neat why of avoiding an
interview pertaining strictly to the CONS
pany's interests. Time will reveal all
things, though, and in this case it will
probably be very short time.
The new line of the Rock Island road,
to st. Joseph, Mo-, has just been COM
pleted, and the first passenger train left
here Yesterday morning at 100 The train
will include through sleepers, chair cars
and first class coaches. Daily through
trains will be run on the new line from
Chicago and branching of at Cameron,

established that many manu-
