INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Complaint of the Detroit Board of
as Trade and the Merchants and
Manufacturers Exchange.

manufacturers Exchange.
CHICAGO, July 31.-The interstate
commerce commission in session to-
day took up one of the most important
cases that has yet been brought up be-
fore that body. 1t is the case of the
Detroit board of trade and the mer-
chants and manufacturers exchange
against the New York Central, Grand
GTrunk and West Shore railways.
|, All the members OF the commission were
|, present. The complaint is signed by
}. W. Flynn, president of the board of
trade, and D. ID. Thorp, of the mer-
chants and manufacturers exchange.
The counsel for cOmplainants are AlonZO
c. Raymond and Alfred RuSells; coun-
sci for defendants, Ashley Pond and
Henry Russell. The testimony in the
case is extremely voluminous. The
complaint is that for a long time the
merchants aud business men of Detroit
have suffered by unjust discrimination
In favor OF Chicago at the hands of the
roads named. In doidg this the rail
roads had violated sections l, 2 and of
the interstate commerce act, and
were amenable as prescribed in sections
IA and Is of the act. The complainant
in specifying the particulars of the dis
elimination alleged stated that the
Grand Trunk. New York Central and
West Shore roads form through trunk
line from Chicago to New York and the
East, and that their profits on that class
OF business is divided propOrtiOnately
among them. The unit rate, or 100 per
cent, was the rate between Chicago and
New Y Ork, or all points having the New
York rate. The Detroit people claim
that their proportion should not exceed
70 per cent of this unit rate, under the
long and short haul clause.
In reality the railroad charged them
rs per cent. At 20 per cent, or the
natural rate, Detroit would have to pay
$3.50 on car load of grain from De-
troit to New York points, while at the
e per cent rate they had to pay s59.
At the same time it was claimed that
the 70 per cent rate was granted to
other points west of Detroit, and in fact,
Verts thousands of car loads of agricul-
tural products from the Southwest
around Detroit. The respondents re-
plying admit that the facts are as stated,
but they deny that the same is any loss,
or ground for them to accept like or
equivalent price for local ship
ments between Detroit and New
York. The issue between the
two parties is therefore squarely
Joined and the case is one of law to de-
termine. The railway companies claim
and make as the basis of their defense
the doctrine that distance is not the
only consideration that may influence
the price of transportation They al
lege that the billing, weighing. inspect
ing, issuing of bills of lading, switch
ing and many other things should be
taken into consideration, and that in
these respects Detroit stands at disad-
vantage. And they further claim that
they must meet competition of other
shorter lines, and that if they should
grant the rate of 70 per cent as de-
manded at Detroit, these competing
lines would make a corresponding cut.
leaving Detroit in relatively the same
position she now occupies.

1T WAS LEGITIMATE.
Aldrich Puts Up Very Clever
Defense.

The case against E. W. AIdrich,
charged with having received stolen
goods, then came up. The defendant,
marked by the coolest nerve in the
world, took his place, and George Rob-
inson appeared as his counsel. By
agreement, the testimony for the state
in the three cases which preceded it
was admitted, and the great repetition
was saved. Then Aldrich was put on
the stand in his own behalf. He is a
and would have telling effect on a
jury. His defense was very skillful,
and was based on the fact that he had
all the transactions with De Young, and
knew nothing of the others. They were
simply business transactions and
he knew nothing of the robberies.
All of the blame was laid upon De
Young and Aldrich represented him
self simply as a merchant, buying what
was offered him and knowing nothing
OF where it came from. His
cross-eXamination is yet to come
and something interesting may be eX-
pected. II am always willing to buy
anything | think is bargain,'' he said.
land that is why dealt with De Young"
His first business with De Young, he
said, was they purchase of seventeen
dozen handkerchiefs, which was some
time before the silk robbery. He also
bought other things, including lot of
ready-made trousers. which De Young
denied. He said he never took away
his purchases, which were always de-
livered at mis- store by De Young. The
cigars, the silks and the other stolen
articles he had purchased from
De Young as legitimate business
transaction and had given the checks as
testified to. Of burglars and burglaries
he knew nothing, and declared he
had never seen any one of
the three burglars. In short, he
made out very fair case for himself,
denying every thing that could crimi-
nate him and laying every thing upon
De Young. When o'clock arrived he
was still Oh the stand, and the court adj
iOurned until this morning

THE LAWRENCE BURGLARY
About the Same Story-The Three
Men Held.

The afternoon session opened up with
the Lawrence burglary, and the central
object was large trunk containing the
plumber stolen on July IS, from the res
idence of j. w. Lawrence, 1880, Second
avenue south. Mr.. Lawrence identified
the articles, which consisted of silver
ware, bric-a-brac, silk dresses, seal coats
and caps and other articles, worth over
5000. Mr.. Lawrence swore ne found
part of his property in Aldrich's barn
and part of it hidden under piles of
furniture in Aldrich's store. Frank

Lawrence house, testified that he saw,

More of the Wolcott Case.

Some light was thrown ON the bust
ness methods of G. G. Wolcott. the grain
and commission man who made an as
signment a short time ago. by the filing
OF the complaints in two suits yesterday.
The National Bank of Commerce sues
the firm of O'Brien. Peterson & Wolcott
for 4,93l.17 on two promisSory notes:
Peterson and O'Brien being formerly
engaged in business with Wolcott, under
the firm name of G. G. WOlcott & Co.
The other suit is against d. B. Doty and
WolcOtt for $3.50, and from the COM
plant it would seem that there was an
other firm of c. G. Wolcott & Co., under
which ID. B. Doty d Co. did business.

We notice in the published report of the
proceedings of the adjourned meeting of
Town Council held Sept. 14th, the follow
ng: 1.-THE chairman reported that the
Committee on water had visited the Water
Company's pump house and found that
there could be no additional pressure put
on by direct communication with pump in
case of fire, as has always been claimed by
Water Company, would be had, should a
fire occur, as the company had forbidden a
connection to be made direct with the
pipes in case of fire." This is gross mis-
take, and has tendency to seriously mis-
lead the understandings and weaken the
feeling of security of our citizens, as to fire
protection. This fire pressure is in perfect
working order, and has never been other
wise to our knowledge. AS now appears
the committee referred to did visit the pump
house. They however did not state their
official character, nor did the Superinten-
dent of the Water Company know them as
such, indeed knew but one member of the
committee, and he not as member of Town
Council. The Superintendent as matter
of course has orders not to turn on his fire
pressure merely to crafty the curiosity OF
visitors, and not knowing the committee
nor by them advised as such, refused to do
so at that time. We are ready and very
willing at all proper times, to show and
prove its workings, to any persons in
authority or interest. Indeed we cordially
invite such examination.

1885, involved title TO valuable coal lands
in Conyngh am township, the tract contain.
ing 400 acres, and known as the Nathaniel

another claimant to the title brought an
action of ejectment against G. G. Murphy
in the United States Circuit court al

plaintiff under the instruction Of the court,
the defendant not being permitted to prove
any title. John and James Ryan of Potts

and will not be given up without hard
struggle.
