Money Well Spent.


The Railroad Commissioner Of New York, in
his annual report for 1885, makes the statement
that for the first time, since railroads have been
operated within the State of New York, can it
be said that year has elapsed without a single
passenger being killed from causes beyond his
own control The board is convinced that its
system of inspection, of investigating accidents
and of requiring railroads to adopt certain we'll
recognized means Of safety, both as to their
rules and as to their appliances, have had no lit
tie to do with this result. The record for the
year shows that Ali persons were killed on roads
in that State, against 481 in 1884, and against
495 in 1883. The decrease in the number Of
passengers killed is very remarkable, there hav-
ing been but ID killed in 1885 from all causes.
against Is in 1884 and 40 in 1883. The decrease
in the number of passengers injured is equally
striking there having been but 80 injured in
1885, against 1877 in 1884 and 1914 In 1888 The
Commissioner says: Accidents are expensive
particularly If they cannot be hushed up. Rail-
road managers are more and more impressed
with the fact that expenditure necessary to pre-
vent them is money well spent"

Middle and Western Freight Agents.

CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 0.-Representatives
from twenty one roads in the Middle and West
ern States Freight Association attended the spe-
cial meeting held here to-day to fur
ther consider the two-cent-a- mile passenger rate
for shippers, which was adopted at the quarterly
meeting of the association at Pittsburg, Dec
H. Of ffty-two railroad companies, mem
bers of the ASSOCIATION, twenty-five agreed to
adopt the rate; twelve agreed if their COM
petiters could be induced to do likewise
and the rest have taken no action or
declined to accept the agreement Among the
latter are, notably. three Michigan lumber roads
the Flint & Pere Marquette, the Detroit
Lansing & Northern and the Chicago & West
Michigan-which grant shippers passenger rates
at one and half cent mile. After a
thorough discussion of the question a resolution
was adopted by which the roads adopting the
2-cent rate agreed to maintain it, notwithstand-
ing its INCONSISTENCIES by others The meager
attendance, however, rather dampened the an
ticipations of those present.

IN A BLACK HOLE.
Three Suspects who Were Confined
in a Filthy Dungeon Ask Heavy

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-In the circuit court
to-day, declaration in tort was filed for
$50, 900 damages against John Z. Stafford,
chief of the town of Lake police, Michael
Markeye, Capt. and Thomas Flynn and
John Egan. detectives, in favor of Michael
B GLAND, William LAWYER and Thomas
O'Neill. On the night of August 25 the
declaration states, a box car in the Lake
Shore yards. in the town of Lake, was en-
tered by thieves. Two days later Boland,
LAWYER and O'Neill were arrested on sus-
pcOn. They were arraigned before JUS
tice Tierney, and in the face of their pro-
tests, the case was continued for ten days
to permit the detectives to obtain further
convcting evidence. Their bond was fixed
at 81, 600, and all three were locked
up in the village station, instead of being
removed to the county Jail as the law pro-
yides. The village station is described as
a miserable little hole, 6x6 feet in dimen-
| sion, dark and i'll ventilated. The only
furniture was a pail and a few whisps of
| hay. This dungeon was already tenanted
by man held on charge of receiving stolen
property. Into the black hole the three
suspects were cast, and during the ten days
pending the continuance they were fed bread
and water twice day and the pail was I'M
emptied. Their pleas for even the slightest
relief. which removal of some of the ac-
| cumulating filth would afford, were laughed
! at, and their bread was thrown upon the
| floor at them. At the end of ten days they
were brought out and Mr.. Buttner. an at
torney with whom they had communicated.
appeared in their interest. Despite his
counter demands and their appeals the
court ordered continuance of three DAYS
more in the interest of states evidence.
Back into the dungeon the now physically
failing unfortunates were cast. at the end
of three days all hands were prepared for
trial. at 2 o'clock, the hour decided upon,
the judge failed to appear until o'clock
and then refused to hear the case. An
other continuance was ordered. and yester-
day the case was called the fourth and last
time. The three men were acquitted. as
there was no evidence against them. These
are the allegations of the bill of complaint.
besides which are statements showing the
complainantS to have been injured in mind
and body by their detention.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
An Enormous Special Train to Take
Them From Chicago TO Boston.


CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Next Saturday
morning an extraordinarily large excursion
party will leave this city for Boston over
the Chicago & Grand Trunk railway. The
contract with that company calls for 60
Pullman and 40 Wagner sleeping coaches,
so regular passenger coaches and 90 bag
gage cars. The first section of this remark
able train will leave Chicago SATURDAY. at 9
a. m. The remaining sections will leave
every twenty minutes thereafter until the
entire party is on the move. The Grand
Trunk company will clear the track as far
as possible and fast time will be made to
Niagara, where the first stop will be made
for breakfast the following morning. This
great excursion is going TO the Odd Eel
lows celebration at Boston next week,
when the Sovereign Grand lodge of the
world will hold its meeting. The Odd
Fellows. after vainly trying to get low
rates for everybody on all lines, entered
into contract with the Grand Trunk for
$13 for the round trip. Since then other
competing roads have made concessions.
After the rates were arranged rs, 900 circu-
lars were sent out to the whole Western
country, asking the various orders to rem
devious at Chicago and make the start for
Boston. The responses already received
indicate that from 5000 to 10000 of the
fraternity will assemble and pass through
Chicago. The celebration at Boston is ex-
pected to eclipse anything eyer attempted
by the Odd Fellows before. The Patriarch
Militant (the military branch of the order)
will. for the first time, participate in the
annual festivities, and it is estimated that
10, 600 chevaliers and $4,000 subordinates
will make up the parade.

Heavy and Damaging Fall of Rain

A severe thunder storm, with accom-

Some of them were of the size of walnutS,

having undergone bombardment. In the
business portion, though heavy, the fall
was not severe. and the illuminating globes
on Nicolet avenue escaped as by miracle.
The driving wind protected the north side
at the corners. while on the south side
about three hundred of the globes were
broken. filling the sidewalks with the frag-

streets and along Cedar avenue filling many
cellars.
High street, as well as the lower end of

places the water was knee deep. The side
walks were lost from view and several
pedestrians furnished amusement for those
lucky ones who had secured shelter, by
prospecting around for safe place 10 cross.
Along about o'clock the rubbish which
clogged the sewers was removed and once
more the street could be crossed without

with several inches of water and sand. A
force of men was at once put 10 work, but

the Exposition no suitable provision had
been made for running off the water from

coming up Main street and ascending the

Not Down ON the Bills.

An Amusing encounter of a somewhat
serious nature took place last night between
Moth, the wrestler, and Tommy Warren,
the feather weight pugilist at the club
house at Lake Calhoun. Moth has cher
ished an enmity against Warren for his
decision of the wrestling match with the
Jap at st. Paul and last night attacked
him with heavy cane and
kicked him in the face. Moth
then went away. but returned in an hour
later, when Warren attempted to strike
him with a club, and. missing his aim,
threw lamp at the wrestler. following it
up with a bottle. Moth turned pale and
ran up the road, followed by the bantam
pugilist. who failed to catch his long
legged adversary. Parties who witnessed
the affair are highly indignant at Moths
cowardice in attacking Warren, who is
about One-third his size.
