TIRED OF TUE SITUATION.
Roads That Cut Grain Rates Give No
tiee of an Advance.
PHIL ARMOUR'S PREDICTION.
The War Against the New Transconh-
mental Rates Brelks Out
Afresh.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE roads that
followed the lead of the Pennsylvania
in reducing the grain rate 90 cents from
Chicago to New York, are evidently
growing tired of the situation. The Bal
timore & Ohio has already given notice
of an advance to the 35-cent rate, to take
effect Sept. %. The Michigan Central
and the Lake Shore will give notice
of a. similar advance tomorrow. The
reason given for this action is that the
demand for cars is largely in excess of
the supply, and even while tariff rates
are maintained it is next to impossible
to handle the business that is offered.
The Pennsylvania, however, adheres to
the low rate.
The Chicago & Grand Trunk has
given notice that on and after Sept. %,
its rates on dressed beef will be S5 cents
hundred pounds, both to New York
and Boston. This is an advance of 5
cents on the New York rate, meeting
the new rate adopted by the other roads,
but the Grand Trunk maintains its diff
terential on Boston business to which
the other lines apply a Accent rate.

CAUGHT BY A CYCLONE.
The Steamship La BOurgOgue
Reaches Port Badly Battered.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE French
line steamer La BOurgOgne, which ar
rived yesterday, was little battered
by an encounter with the big cyclone
that was lowering about the American
coast a week ago. La Bourgogne left
Havre on the Sth. Last Wednesday
morning, being then little less than half
way across, she encountered the cy-
clone, catching the wind in the south
west. The wind increased very steadily
all day, and before night it was neces-
sary to head the ship into the
eye of the wind. The sea rose
up very rapidly, but instead of
the long waves commonly seen in heavy
gales, there was an ugly cross sea that
tossed the ship as it had never been
tossed before. Another popularity of
the storm was the lightneSs of the rain
fall. Capt. Frangeul says he never saw
so little rain in cyclone before. There
was simply a mist, with occasional
dashes of rain. AS night came on the
wind increased and began to veer
slowly toward the west. The sky was
clear before night and stars shOne with
remarkable brilliancy, while all the
time the barometer was falling. At
midnight a sea came over the starboard
bow, and striking the bridge tore out
some of the middle stanchions.
Capt. Frangeul and Mr.. Lucau, the
third officer, were on the bridge,
but escaped the wave by being at its
| extreme end. From this time until
o'clock the storm was at its worst.
The ship had headed pretty well up to
west, and was taking the waves on her
port bow, but she took them all and re-
ceived no other damage that the break
ing loose of the handicapped chart
case, the marble top flying across the
chart room and breaking into thou
sand pieces against the bulkhead. But
at APO a second wave came on board
and not only swept away the remaining
| port end of the bridge, but stove in one
| life boat. Thereafter the storm
moderated slowly, and by 6 o'clock
| Thursday afternoon La Bourgone was
headed on her course. She made a
very quick passage in spite of the gale.

BIG TONNAGE IN VIEW.
Phil Armour Discusses st. Paul
Affairs and the Outlook.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-P. D. Armour re-
turned home from the East this morn
ing. In an interview in regard to the
furry in st. Paul railroad stock he said:
81 am in the same attitude as ever to-
ward st. Paul. There has been lots of
speculation about what the directors
would do, and there has been much cen
sure about what they did do. claim the
stock is worth more to-day than if we
had declared an unearned dividend on
money that did not belong to us. The
public knew from the published earn
ingS that st. Paul was not earning a
dividend. There was lots of business,
but it had to be done at a loss. This
interstate law is bad thing for the big
roads. Some lines cut and others must
follow at a great loss. There is a big
tonnage in view now, and if the roads
get paid for hauling it the st. Paul will
make money and will not necessarily
go two years without paying it. That is
a conclusion jumped at by outsiders"

CHATWORTH'S HORROR.
In Settling the Claims Resulting
from Ii the T., Z. q W. Defaults
Payment of Its Interest.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the Toledo, Peoria & Western
Railway company for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888, has just been
made public. The gross earnings were
s94S, 524; operating expenses, taxes and
general expenses, s749.44O; net income,
S199,OS4. This would have left a sur
plus of S19,0S4 after payment of the an
nual interest on the issue of $4,000, 900
first mortgage per cent bonds had it
not been for the accident at Chats
worth Aug. 10, 1887. In order to pay the
claims arising from this disaster it
was deemed best to use for that pur-
pose all the available resources, and as
a consequence the interest on the first
mortgage bonds, due Jan. and July l,
1888, was left unpaid. 1t amounted to
$1SO,00O, and has now been liQuidated
by the Farmers Loan and Trust COM
pany, paying S45, 900 in cash, and by the
issue of $l35,000 debenture scrip bear
ing per cent interest from April last,
redeemable April l, 1898, or sooner, at
the option of the company. The holders
of s,3612, 900 bonds have already accepted
this settlement. After paying 1888, 61S
in liquidation of every claim arising
from the accident, the company's in
debtedness at present, beyond its issue
of S4,500,000 first mortgage bonds, is
1904, 1876.

GOLD GALORE,

Excitement in Montana Over Rich
Finds and the Operations of
Capitalists.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 1.-THE min.
ing camp of Castle is the scene of great
excitement. Mr.. Woods, who repre-
sents aheavy syndicate of Colorado cap
italists, has bonded the Alta mine for
$4,000 and is purchasing several unde
veloped claims at round figures. He
claims that the ore at certain depth
lies fiat in blanket leads, and on this
theory has purchased some claims when
there was not pound of ore in sight.
An expert of the Hauser 81 Holley
syndicate of Helena has bonded the
Alice mine for large amount. To add
to the excitement, a rich strike was re-
Gently made in an extension Of the
Cumberland. This was as promptly
jumped by some outside parties. The
company compelled the Jumpers to re-
tire by force. 1t is reported that some
shooting occurred in this connection.
Greater development may be expected
in few days.

NEW YORK, Sept. '17.-Twenty years
ago, on a Monday morning, in Williams
port, Pa, James McClearn, an eight
year-old boy, was washed, dressed and
sent to school. The family did not see
him again until about six weeks ago IN
this city. The family, which consisted
of father, mother, two remaining sons
and two girls, finally came to New
York and located on Tenth street. Mrs.
McClearn died there seven years ago.
One of the sons married, as did the girls.
The father and remaining brother live
with Mary. One Saturday evening re-
Gently Rebecca stood in the door of her
husbands store on Catherine street,
and a stout, well built young
man passed her. There was some
thing strangely familiar about his car
rage. and she wondered where she had
seen him before. Suddenly, like flash,
came to her, at is my brother James.
My God, it can't be possible" She
hurried a clerk after the stranger, but
he disappeared. She had almost for
gotten the incident when last
Saturday night she saw him
again. This time she rushed
to him and cried "WhO are you, and
what is your name?'' The young man
turned pale and burst into tears as he
answered.: MY name is James Nc
Clearn and you are sister of NINE"
"Yes, l am; am your little sister Re
becca, the last one you saw be-
fore you left home. Where have
you 6een?' Then followed the run
away's story. Instead of going to
school the Monday he disappeared, he
had gone to the depot yards. slowed
himself away in box car and had come
to New York. Why he did so he could
not explain, nor could he tell why he
had kept silent so long. His first earn
ings was 10 cents as a messenger. This
he invested in papers. He lived
for a year in Eleventh street,
one block from his family, but did not
know it. He became buyer for dry
goods house, then went in business for
himself, made a competence, lost it by
speculation, but has now nearly recOv-
cred and will soon be in business again
for himself. He has wealthy brother,
John McClearn, who is still living in
Scranton, Pa. Next Sunday there will
be grand reunion at Rebecca's house.

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD.
War Against TranscOntinental
Rates Breaks Out Afresh.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE trouble over
transcontinental freight rates has
broken out afresh. Chairman Leeds,
when waited upon by committee of
merchants in this city two weeks ago,
agreed to issue new commodity tariff,
removing the determinations against
Chicago. The supplementary tariff ar
rived to-day, and it is found that out of
100 articles OH the list presented to MIR.
Leeds rates have been allowed on just
sixteen. On the rest of the articles dis
eliminating rates have not been re-
moved. At the same time, special rates
have been granted to st. Louis on no
less than eighty of these commodities,
so that now the discrimination is not
only in favor of New York, but also in
favor of st. Louis as against Chicago.
This, the Chicago manufacturers say, is
adding insult to injury, and they pro-
pose to take some action at once. A
meeting of the Chicago freight bureau
will be held this week to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of lodging a complaint with
the interstate commerce commission,
and also of bringing suits against the
railroads in the United States courts.

MONEY WELL SPENT.
A Deserted Husband Tracks His
Recreant Spouse and Her Para
mour to California.


Los ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 17.-Mrs.
W. c. Foster and Thomas Holland, her
paramour, both of Des Moines, are I'M
der arrest here. Mrs. Foster, who is a
remarkably pretty brunette, is also said
to be in danger of prosecution for theft
at the instance of young fellow named
Hawkins. Her husband, who is we'll
TODD business man of DeS Moines, says
that in September last Mrs. Foster,
while at matinee performance in that
city, formed the acquaintance of Haw-
kins. The pair, it is alleged, occupied
the same room at hotel that night
and next morning the woman slipped
away before Hawkins awoke, taking
with her 5000 of his money. She gave
an unsatisfactory explanation of her
absence to her husband, who, not being
satisfied that all was right, began to
make inquiries. This fact came to the
knowledge of Mrs. Foster, who the next
day left for the West with Holland, the
man arrested. Before leaving home she
secured gold watch and $1,000 belong
ing to her husband. Foster was present
when his wife and her alleged paramount
were arrested and taken into custody,
and listened with grim satisfaction to
the wOman's lamentations. The chase
cost him $1,000, but he declares the
money well spent.

badly wounded. None of the Ken

which occurred during July and Au-
