THE RAILROAD SITUATION.


past few days is sufficient apology
for an article on that subject. The
situation is most serious, projects
are numerous, and the chances to
make mistake are increasing.
The o. V. has been unfortunately
circumstanced. 1t has failed to put
its line in here because II could not
borrow the adequate amount of mon
ey. 1t may come yet, however, but
let us presume for the sake of argu-
ment that ii is dead. Under this
presumption look what happens.
Suddenly it is currently surmised
that all the other enterprises are pure
wind, and project is born to give
the L. 81 N. $4,000 to build us road
to the l. A. e. Il. This is the situa-
ton pure and simple, and the imme-
diate question is "shall we subsidizC
the l., & N ?"
Those who answer Eyes" are in
fluenced by these considerations: We
would thus be put on an equal with

Charities and Corrections.

BUFFALO, July 6.-The second DAYS
session of the Fifteenth annual confreren-
ces of Charities and Corrections opened
this morning with President Hoyt in the
chair. After the formal opening of the
proceedings, the reports Of States were
taken up, that of California being pre-
sented by E. 7. Doaley. of San Francis
co. His report was lengthy one, touch
ing upon all the charitable and correc-
tive institutions in the Golden State.
Mr.. Brooks, of South Carolina, said
before the war there was no such thing
as penitentiary known in his State.
It was only after the emancipation OF
slaves that such step was found nec-
essary. There was only one such place
in the State and it was located at Colum-
bia. There were about 1000 convicts in
it, and $50 of them were colored people.
The principle work is on farms, but there
are manufacturing institutions.
Ex-Governor Lucius Fairchild, of Wis
consin, said he had not come with any
prepared address, but simply to. testify
his thanks and appreciation of what the
State Boards of Charity are doing for the
people. He spoke of the charities of his
State, and took pride in stating that Wis
consin had established ahome where de-
pendent soldiers could go and not only
dependent soldiers, but their wives as
well. He always thought that the good
wife who stood by the soldier from 1851
to 1865 should not be separated from her
husband in his declining years. Ad-
journed until evening.

Belligerent Huns and Po1es-One
Man Beaten TO Death.

PrrrsBURe, July GA Chronicle Tele-
graph special says: Early this morning a
terrible conflict occurred at Jessup, Lack
awanna county, between parties Of Po-
landers and Hungarians. The riot was
the result of bitter race feelings existing
for some time, owing to some trouble at
Dolph's mines, where they were en-
ployed. Andrew Kankowsky, leader of
the Polish faction, was attacked by Huns
at his home and fed from the back door
to the saloon of Michael Pano, where the
doors were at once barred to prevent the
attacking party. from getting in. The
latter were determined to get their man,
and forcing down the doors dragged him
out in the road, beating him with stones
and clubs and defying those who came to
his help. They soon pounded him to
death. The Huns then began celebrat.
ing their crime by carousal. The leaders
of the party, Michael Olannick, Andrew
Cunisky and j. Harway, were secured
by deputies at noon and taken to Scran'
ton jail. There never before was an oc

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

iAdd0tAutS0
CHICAGO, July 6.-J. A. Bauereisn, an
officer of the Aurora, ILL.,, Division OF the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
was brought to Chicago this morning under
arrest, by Deputy United States Mar
shall Heis, charged with completely in
the alleged dynamite plot against the
Burlington railroad. Bauereisn is the
mysterious fourth man who elluded the
officers yesterday when three arrests
were made.
In regard to the latest arrest, General
Manager Stone, of the Burlington, said
this morning: "Bauereisn is the Chief
Engineer Of Division 80 of the Brother
hood of Aurora, which is one Of the
principal lodges on our road. For two
years he has been q member of the Gen.
eral Grievance Committee, and is also
Chairman of the Aurora Local Grievance
Committee. He was arrested under the
United States statutes, which prohibit
the carriage of dynamite on passenger
trains"
Beyond this, Stone was not disposed to
talk, but it was evident that the officials
of the company regarded the arrest as q
most important one.
Bauereisn was seen by an Associated
Press representative this forenoon and
to him he stated that he knew nothing
whatever of the charges preferred against
him and that his arrest was total sur
prise to the men arrested. He said that
he knew Bowles from the fact that he
had been in his division of the Brother
hood with others, but he had no acquain.
eAnce with him.
When asked if he suspected that he
was being watched he said not more than
anybody else. He had known that there
were detectives around in Aurora dog
ging the Brotherhood men, but he had
no reason to suppose he was particularly
singled out.
In reply to a question the prisoner
stated that Aurora was his birthplace,
and that he had lived there ever since he
was born. He said he had been quietly
at home since the strike began, except
two days that he attended committee
meeting in Chicago.
When Marshal Marsh was questioned
concerning the captured letters he said,
excepting the missive thrown out of the
car window by Broderick, the documents
were letters of introduction from the
Brotherhood officials, stating that the
bearers were on Brotherhood business.
Concerning the letter so hurriedly thrown
away by Broderick, neither the Marshal
nor District Attorney Ewing would say a
syllable, and they fatty refused to allow
it to be seen.
The Marshal in reply to inquiries said,
that although the charges against Bauer
eisn and others involved now only fine,
the indictment could, if criminal intent
were shown. be greatly altered. In that
case the punishment upon any of the
accused would be hard labor as Federal
convict IN the penitentiary.
Bauereisn is an open-faced, broad
shouldered man about thirty-fve, with
bronzed honest-looking features. He
talked very frankly and bore himself in
very honest way.

stampede I'm Freight Rates.

New York, July GA general STAN
pede OF freight rates was affected yester-
day by way Of rail and lake to Chicago.
Rates were subjected to general drop
of 80 cents in first class, 25 cents in Sec
ond, 20 cents in third, Is cents in fourth,
IA cents in fifth, and 13 cents in sixth.
The lines all dropped simultaneously.
No one can assign any cause for it fur
ther than general decentralization of the
freight business. Apparently the strong
linee, particularly the New York Central
and Pennsylvania lines, have won a bat
tie against the weaker roads by destroy
ing all their differentials.
