THE RkIl ROAD RATES

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-It was telegraphed
here from New York this morning hat the
Chicago & Alton was quoting rate On
Colorado and Utah business which gave
that line only 20 cents on first class freight
of this character from Chicago to the Mis-
souri, river The competing roads at once
wired their agents to make the same rat
in this class of business, and
tomorrow they will all drop the local
rate, Chicago to Missouri river points to 20
cents, cut of cents below the prevailing
rate The other classes will remain the
same. That is, first and second class 20
cents, third II, II. fourth 14115 and fifth
u15.
The Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy off
cials today vigorously denied that they
have been discriminating against Chicago.
They say that the Burlington's through
tariff from Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska
and Kansas points are made on
grain the same as their public head
local tariff to Chicago-that is,
the low tariff to Chicago on corn and
oats is II cents per 100 from Iowa. Missouri
and eastern Nebraska points. This is the
same as the rates to east ST. Louis, Boards
town and Peoria, and 1t constitutes the
basis of the through rate to Atlantic sea
board points. The Burlington claims that
no other western or northwestern road has
yet reduced the local to Chicago, and CON
Sequently any through rates made by them
to the seaboard, are as charged, discrimi-
nations against Chicago

A BIG BLAZE.

PITssBURG, Feb. 24.-A fire on New
Grante street about o'clock this evening
destroyed. NEARLY 500, 900 worth of property
and for a time threatened destruction to
an entire block. About the hour mention
ed flames were seen issuing from large
three-story iron clad building owned by
Peel q Co., and occupied by number of
graiu and commission merchants. The
fire had already gained considerable
headway, and by the time the engines
arrived the building, together with two
three-story buildings adjoining were
ablaze, and in less than half an hour were
in ashes. The Second PRESBYTERIAN
church, Oak Alley church and Panhandle
railroad sheds, in the immediate vicinity,
caught fire several times from the intense
heat, but through the good work of the
tiremen they were saved with little dam
age. The loss was distributed as follows:
j. NJ. Peel & Co, S3l 900; Walter Hornung
& Co., grain dealers, 5000: Schomaker &
Co, grain dealers 5000; Henry kemmler
& Co, SD, 200: Panhandle railroad com
pany, $500. The Pennsylvania building
was insured for $4,000 The insurance on
the property could not be learned, but will
probably reach half the loss The fire is
supposed to have been caused by defect

WHEELING. w. Va, Feb. 24.-At the
trial of Henry Black at Morgantown w.
Va, for the murder of Emma Robinson
today the state had rested and several wit
nesses for the defense had been examined
when, upon consultation with counsel for
the state, Attorney Staggers, for the de-
fense, arose and said the case had reached
point when they could pass over the fact
OF guilt and now the only question WAS as
10 the degree of punishment. The state
would not ask anything more tnan a
verdict of murder in the first degree, with
recommendation of life Imprisonment in
the penitentiary, which was satisfactory to
the defense.
Judge Fleming then asked the prisoner
if he agreed to this, and the prisoner an
swered: Yes, it don't make any differ
ence TO me-" After instruction the case
was given to the jury, who, after consult
ing for three hours. returned and said they
were unable to agree upon a verdict
They were then locked up until tomorrow
morning, when it is expected they will
agree.
