THE RATE WAR

A atssement Showing Great Losses Durius
the Late War In Rates.
CHcAGo, April Establishments prepared
- chei-mar. Midgley showing losses during
~ ists rate war, show that in addition to
nsavy reductions In rates there was q start
ling decrease in tonnage, compared with the
corresponding year of 1887. Especially was
this trce in regard to east bound tonnage,
the ass decrease being 81 per cent. The prin.
cipal decsease was in wheat, or other grains,
although the decrease in westward bound
tonnage was only II per cent. The reduction
in revenue compared with that derived from
westward bound tonnage during the CORES
pondihg period OF last year was Ga, while in
the case of revenue from eastward to west
ward it was NJ per cent Stated in money,
westward the decrease was SAT-, 4S7, and
eastward $627, 162; total, $1,104, 648
Ehs loss, however, cannot be entirely at
trieI.ed to the rate war. The decline Of
tonnage would have occurred in any event. A
carefully compiled estimate based on the
difference between the reduced rate and
tariff, however, shows that the decrease of
revenue caused loss of over $500, 600 alto
getker. the most of this amount was sacri.
feed by southwestern lines during the four
weeks they were engaged in war-owing to
the Interstate law the troubles could not be
confined TO the northwest. The lines from
Lake Superior to Texas were included.
1t is calculated that the loss reached to-
tai OF 81, zoo, 600 on through traffic. To this
should be added the reductions to and from
interior points, traffic three or four times
as large as through business.

Element in Luna Valley that is vouched for
Mary Seelore and Sarah Ballon, aged re-
spectively IS and Is years, became rivals
for the attentions of young cowboy named
Whitman. The latter ia a gentle and q re-
cent arrival in the aettlement. So desper-
ate phase did the rivalry between the girls
assume, that they fell to fighting in the tab
srnacle as finale to the religious services.
They were separated and two days lister
some men were attracted to the outskirts of
the settlement by pistol shots, and found
Miss Ballon lying on the ground seriousiy
wounded, while the Seelore girl was standing
q few PAGES of with the pistol in her hand.
She said that they had fought q duel and
that she had hit her rival at the first fire.
Two pistols we're found, but the wounded
girl says she was shot before che had an
opportunity to use her weapon. The wound

The "Alarm" Suspends.

CHICAGO, April 2.-To-morrow the issue
of the Alarm, the paper of which A. r. Par
sons, the anarchist, was editor, will be sus-
pended indefinitely. Difficulties partaking
somewhat of financial nature, it is sup
posed, have caused the stoppage.
Dyer D. Lum, the successor of Parsons, in
announcing the papers of suspension, re-
marks that "the Alarm. re-established q
week before the judicia, murder of our COM
rades, has ever sought to sustain the cause
for which they died."
The journal has lasted barely six months.
He adds, 1.-THE difficulties have been great.
The postoffice has thrown many difficulties
in my way, that monopoly to which state
socialists point with such pride. Again,
I have had to contend with other diff
culties. When I came here in response
to q summons from my murdered comrades,
to revive the Alarm, met outspoken oppo-
sition from the source from which Parsons
and Spies supported the Alarm. In q word,
Spies old paper has antasonized me and
what their motives were do not presume to
question. sadly know the result.
Comrades, the day is breaking. Shall the
Alarm still sound or are you content to fol-
low old methods and sink deeper in the

A Millionaire Refuses Picture Because

CHICAGO, April oh. b. Gross, of New
Yoak, q welI-known animal painter. won q
curious suit here to-day sgainst E. @. Long,
of st. Paul, a millionaire railroad contractor.
In 1877, shortly after Cross had portrayed
Vanderbilt's famous team, Maud s and Al

thorized the artist to reproduce in oil, the
fast trotter, Prince Albert, now at Washing
ton in charge of Budd Doble. Prince Al
bert is the property of Long, and the
wealthy contractor was to be shown in
tie picture driving the trotter.
The work was done, but Long refused to

amount, $500.
In court to-day Long admitted that the
picture was we'll executed, but maintained
It was understood he was to be satisfied
with the representation, which he was not,
but why, he did not explain. The picture
was not put in evidence, strange to say.
A verdict for the artist was the result.

noticed, is that he has lost his right arm.

A Floor Gave Way,

BELLE FoNTAINE, O., April 28.--A terrible
accident occurred at Rushsylvania, this
county, last night. Aschool exhibition was
in progress in Brockerman's hail. situated
in the second story of brick building. The
hall seats about 4, 900 people and was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. Suddenly, with
out the slightest warning, the floor gave way
with frightful crash. 1t appeared to sink
in the center, funnel shaped, and the entire
audience went down in a surging mass to
the ground, distance of twenty feet.
All the physicians in town were immedi-
ately summoned.
So far the dead arc as follows:
Mrs. j. E. Alexander, the wife of min
lister.
Probably fifty others are more or less ser
iously injured. The walls did not fall in, or
the calamity would have been much worse.
A number Of ladies' and children were taken
out some of them unhurt with their cloth
ing torn completely off of them.

RUINED BY REBATES.
Further Testimony I'm the Investisafi
of the Standard Oil Companv

Further Testimony in the Investigates
Of the Standard Oil Company.
WARRINGTON, D. c., April 26.-In tho
trustjinvestigation to-day, John SwarE and
Frank L. Woods, of Philadelphia, testified
to having heard the Pennsylvania road bad
allowed over rates to other shippers
than to themselves. They thereupon pre-
ssnted claims for rebates to the railroad
company and - cents per barrel on their
shipments of oil was returned to them.
State Senator Lewis Emery, of Bradford,
Pa, corroborated the statement made yes
terday by Mr.. Campbell to the effect that
practically all the small refners had been
wiped out between 1872 and 1879 by reason
of tho rebates given the Standard and its
predecessor, the South Improvement COM
pany. By the railroads and by other means
they were simply deviled to death. A COM
putation made by the witness showed
that the Standard had received
over $4,000, 900 rebates in PIX
months from the four principal railroads
leading from the oil fields. The amount of
rebates given the Standard, he certainly
thought, amounted in the aggregate to over
500, 600, 600, and had the railroads treated
all shippers alike, it was his belief that they
would now be in receipt of an annual in
come of from $15,OOO,OOO to $40, 600, 600
greater than they received at present Ad-
jeurned.

WAAHMaToN, d. c., April N.-The house
committee on public lands yesterday practi-
sally put an end to tbs senate bill for at
taching No Mans Land to the state OF Kan
sas. A meeting was held this morning a.
which tho Voorhees, and Plumb bills relative
TO No Mans Land weae considered. One
provided for the attachment of the territory
ana the creation of new land district com
posed Of the attached territory and the Four
adjoining Kansas counties-Meade, Seward,
Stevens and Morton. The other bill pro-
vided for the extension of the boundaries OF
Kansas so as to make No Mans Land part
OF the state, conditional upon its adopt1oss
by an act of the Kansas legislature.
Both these bills passed the senate soma
time ago, and were messaged to the house:
upon these measures with suspicion, be-
cause 1t was felt that their enactment as
law would silence Q formidable number OF
the Indian Territory agitations, ana prob
ably end legislation in that directlon tor
this session. Under the rules the No Msn g
Land bills would have gone to the commit
tee on territories; but Chairman Springer
being the especial champion OF tho Okla
homa bill, it was believed a reference to his
~~~>~>->sSS
ures. A reference to MIR. Holman's com
mittee On public lands was therefore
secured, with possibly just as fatal results.
The committee discussed the TWO meas
ures this morning and agreed to report an
amended bill, substituting New Mexico for
Kansas, and creating new land district to
be composed of No Mans Land. This
would attach tho territory IN question TO
New MEXICO, for Judicial purposes only. In
the original bill the location of the land
office was left to the executive, but it was
calculated to have the town of Voorhees,, in
the southern part of Stevens county, Kan,
named as the place. The amended bill
stipulates that the land Office shall be located
in No Mans Land. This interferes seriously
with the plans of the spectators who antici-
pate its location at the town Of Voorhees,.
Another amendment was adopted increas-
ing the allowance for town sites, from 100 to
800 acres. The senate will doubtless refuse
to accept these amendments, and that will
end the legislation concerning No Mans
Land for this session.

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.

'ecretary Fairchild Opposes . Reissue Of
Shinplasters.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Apri, 24-Secretary
Fairchild appeared before tie senate finance
committee to-day at the reqLsat of the COM
mittee, to present his views on the bill which
has passed tho house providing for the issue
of fractional currency. The secretary
opposed the bill. He asserted that the pre-
vious issues of fractional currency had cost,
in the expense of production and the loss
from destruction, as much as the entire face
value of the average circulation maintained.
He did not believe that public convenience
required . reissue, nor that it would be pop
ular. Fractional silver and the postal note
system met all the purposes which fractional
notes could serve, except by very large
issue, extending to the most remote parts of
tho country and requiring years in its pre-
paration. The cost and great loss incident
to such an issue and its manifest disadyan-
tages, which led to its abandonment, were,
to his mind, conclusive reasons against Q
renewal of such circulation.

A Desperate ARRAY,

Ell PAso, April 3O.-A fierce hand to hand
encounter at Valentine, small station 160
miles east of Ell Paso, on the Galveston,
Harrisburg IL San Antonio railroad, resulted
in the killing of the conductor, Charles Ser
yer, and the fatal wounding of Samuel
Taylor, drunken cowboy. When the train
stopped at Valentine, the cowboy went
through the coaches, using vile language.
Server argued with him and finally forcibly
elected him. Taylor drew dirk eight
inches long, and began stabbing him about
the head and shoulders. Server immedi-
ately commenced emptying his revolver into
Taylor. Both men rank down in the mids
of their deadly conflict.
Server received five scalp wounds, at
thrust in The neck that severed the carotid
artery and jugular vein, and cut in the left
arm. He died in few minutes.
Taylor was shot three times. Two balls
went through his body just below the heart,
and the third struck him in the face, at tbs
left side of the nose, passing behind that
organ, forcing the eye out, and itself coming
out with the eye. Server was about 40 years
old and unmarried. He was supposed to
have come from the east.
