CHICAGO, March 13-Judge Gresham's
court room and the adjacent halls were
packed to suffocation yesterday afternoon
when the application of the CuicagO, Bur-
lington 81 Quincy railway for an order on
the receiver OF the Wabash railway to com.
pei him to receive and handle their freight,
came up for a hearing. The bar. railroads
and general public were represented, and
all paid the closest attention to the pro-
ceedings.
Arguments We're made at length In sup
port OF the %" position and were answered
at equal length by the attorneys for tho
Waoash and at their close Judge Gresham
practically gave his decision when he SAID
that he did not think the 20" had any case

court 10 issue an order punlshing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for

against The wishes of the general manager

While the Judge thus md Icated what his
decision would probably be, he announced
that he would take the matter under ad-
visement. Alexander Sullivan watched
the proceedings in behalf OF the Brother
hood.
Among the members OF the bar it was
the general opinion that Judge Gresham
would decline to interfere in the case on
the ground that no actual attempt on the
part OF the Brotherhood to lie up the Wa
bash has yet developed. Should. however,
the decision be the other way. 1t is believed
That every fireman and engineer on the

have supplied a thousand ordinary

worn on her breast contained all the
gems of the East. They scintillated
with light. and that is all can say of
them. The stuff of her gown was en-

ANEcooTE OF DICKENS.
How the Great Novelist Disappointed
Firth, the Artist.

How the Great Novelist Disappointed
Firth, the Artist.
The artist Firth, in his autobiography
recently published, gives the following
incident of his acquaintance with the
great novelist. While Dickens was
giving public readings FIRTH was strong
ly impressed with the idea ''that the
author had wholly misconceived the
true character of one of his own crea-
TONS" that of Sam Weller himself. in
reading whose jaunty utterances Dick
ems lowered his voice to the tone OF
one who was rather ashamed of what
he was saying. and afraid of being re-
proved for the freedom of his utter
ances." FIRTH says:
when I determined TO tell the great
author that he had mistaken his own
work l knew / should be treadinG OH
dangerous ground. But on the occasion
of a sitting. when my victim was more
than ever good-tempered, l unbur-
dened my mind, giving reasons for my
objections. Dickens listened, smiled
family, and said not word. A few
days after this my friend Elmore asked
my opinion of the readings, telling mo
frankly warned him that he would be
disappointed with the character of Sam
Weller. A few days more brought
call from Gilmore, who roundly abused
me for giving him All utterly false ac-
count of the Weller episode.
Why he said. the sayings come
from Dickens like pistol shots; there
was no ''sneaking" way of talking as
you describe it,
"'Can it be possible thought ],
that this man. who. as it is told of the
great Duke of Wellington, never took
anybody's opinion but his own, has
adopted from my suggestion render
ing of the children of his brain diamet-
REALLY opposed to his own conception
of it?'
Eat the next sitting all was ex-
planned. for on my telling Dickens
what Elmore had said, with twinkle
in his eye which those who knew him
must so well remember. he replied:
"'I altered it littIe-made it
smarter
You can't think how proud 1 feel

heard from other people, you are about
