CHICAGO, October 10 The strike OF
street car men in the north and west
divisions continues with 10 indication
of a speedy settlement. During the
night some of the tracks in the symPa-
thetic districts of the north division
were ebstructed by being filed with all
SORTS of household refuse and such other
movable things as came to hand. A
few cars were run out in this division
to the usual accompaniment OF j ers.
No attempt has been made as yet to
run cars in the west division. APP
pearances indicate that the company
will not make any general effort for the
resumption of traffic till matters are
quieted down somewhat. The strikers
In this division, who have b en-
through two or three successful
strikes, exhibit an uglier dispositi N
than those of the north side. 1Aey de-
clare the cars will not be permitted to
run and that if an attempt is made,
they will be tumbled into the ditch.
TRACKS BARRICADED.
The tracks on Centre Street in the
north division presented a peculiar
sight this morning. For mile or
more, they were covered with paving
stones and every other kind of debris
obtainable. This was done during the
night This morning men and boys
are at work once more on Centre
Street, near Orchard, under the very
noses of the police. CURLING stones
were piled on the tracks. The officers
merely laughed at the work of barri-
cading. At Halstead and Centre
Streets, four rails were torn up
and laid crosswlse on the track.
The same thing was done at
Center and Sedgewick Streets. The
company put force Of fifty laDorers
on the street, cleaned away the DEBRIS
and relaid The track. The cars ran
out and made trip down town with
out being interfered with, but on the
return trip the Center Street line was
found so INSTRUCTED that it was de-
cided to go w. Claybourne Avenue In
anticipation of a removal of the trouble
large force of new men was sworn in
this morning as special officers.
PLUCKY DRIVER.
The first trouble of the day on the
west side occurred this afternoon, when
a man named Gubbins, who drove one
of the cars yesterday drove out of the
Western Avenue barns. The strikers
stopped him, but shot from his re
volVer scattered them. Three times
he was stopped and only succeeded in
CITING through by indulging in lively
tusilade. Nobody hurt.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The war in Western
freight rates ragged fercely to-day. 1t
opened with the official tariff issued by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Com
pany, slashing all rates between Chicago
and Council Bluffs almost in twain.
President Hughitt, of the Chica go and
Northwestern road, made strenuous at
tempt TO persuade the Rock Island and
Burlington road to ignore the st. Paul's
rates to Council Bluffs, but without success,
and all lines met the cuts. Later in the
day the St Paul Company made big reduce
ton in the rates to Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Before the Offices closed this evening st. Paul
was quoting to Council Bluffs, Kansas City,
and other Missouri river points rates on all
classes &c hundred below the morning cut.
East-bound freights also are becoming de-
moralized. Four of the lines have been taking
provisions for export TO New York for 221Sc.
per 100, which is n cut of lO14c. below the
established rates. The Pennsylvania roads
have cut loose from the trunk lines, and
issued through tariffs from New York to
St Paul via Chicago at the same rates made
by the Chicago and Grand Trunk and Bur-
lington and Northern. The announcement
that the Wabash would cut down the train
time between Chicago and st. Louis is met
to-day by the Chicago and Alton, that it
will shortly put on a limited train between

OHIO'S DIRTY POLITICS.
Editors Charged With Connection
With the Frauds.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 3.-Algernon Gran
vile, of Chicago, one of the defendants and
witnesses for the State III the tally sheet
forgery cases. was placed on the stand this
morning. He testified that in October,
1885, he had a desk in the Office of Mont
gomery, the defendant, and did short hand
work for him. He made a tabulation Of
the returns for Montgomery on Wednesday
or Thursday following the election and
made mistake of 100 votes in one Of the
townships, which Montgomery discovered
and thus ascertained his defeat. The de-
fendant said they must do something
A NEWSPAPER MANS PART.
In a short time Allen 0. Myers ran into
the office and said John r. Mclean was
bound to be elected United States Senator,
no difference what it cost. He said that the
Legislature was Republican by one ma
jority, and if they could secure the election
of Ed Young from Franklin county, the
Legislature would be one Democratic,
and that would elect Mclean. He added
that the only way to do was to fix the re-
turns, that they had done the work before
the election in Hamilton county, but it
could be done afterward here.
GETTING EVEN FOR 1876.
He said that he wanted to give the Re-
puDllcanS dose or their own medicine Tor
the performance of 1876 in the South and
asked the witness to go ahead with the
work, as he was an expert penman. The
witness said that about this time Montgom-
cry, the defendant, came into the Office and
said the work had to be done, and sent the
witness to Montgomerys office with lnstruc
tions to wait. Myers and Montgomery
had a private consultation in ono cor
ner of the room. The witness later
met the defendant at the office
of DR.. Montgomery. He came in the back
way and had a bundle of tally sheets, there
being seven or eight of them in envelopes
LEGAL WRANGLE.
At this point the attorneys for the defend
ant objected to the character of the evil
dence and entered upon a long argument
The point of the objection by the defense
was to joining the two cases, that Of the
Ninth and Thirteenth ward forgeries. This
the State was proceeding to do in further
ance of the conspiracy theory, a point
which claimed much attention from the at
torneys yesterday Mr. McSweeny, for the
defense, in support of his objections quoted
largely from decisions of Judge Thurman
when on the Supreme Court bench. Mr..
McSweeny continued his argument to the
close of the forenoon session.
The jury was discharged at the afternoon
session until tomorrow morning, and the
attorneys continued their argument on the
admission of testimony to show conspiracy
on the part of the defendants and others.
The court will announce its decision to-
morrow morning.

MEMPHIS BRIDGE PROJECT.
Rivals of the Present Charter Holders
Make Fight.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-Parties interested
in propositions to bridge the Mississippi
river at Memphis addressed the Senate
Committee on Commerce this morning
Representatives of the Nettleton and Hunt
ington systems argued that the parties who
secured a charter two years ago were
prompted merely by desire to speculate
upon the necessities of others; that they had
taken no steps toward the construction of
bridge, but had hawked their charter about
for sale ever since it was granted.
Representatives of the present charter
holders retorted that the delay was due to
the dilatory and evasive acts of the parties
who are now appearing and who had pro-
fessed TO be ready to purchase the original
charter. There was an evident disinclina-
tion on the part of the committee to grant
two charters, and it seems likely that if a
new charter is granted the old one will be
annulled.
