IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Gresham Decides Upon a
Contract Made for Rebates.

CHICAGO, Jan. ga very important
decision was rendered yesterday by
Judge Gresham i'll the Central Iowa
foreclosure sale. a year or two ago
irm of extensive grain shippers made a
contract in Iowa with the Central Iowa
railroad for certain rebates on their
shipments. When the foreclosure pro-
ceedingS were begun they had a claim
Of some $1,000 for such rebates, and
fled an intervening petition to have
the receiver of the road directed to pay
it out of the proceeds of a sale and as
against the mortgages. The judge re-
fused to allow it on the ground that the
statutes of Illinois prohibited diScrim-
ination by railroads in this or any other
way. Though the contract was made in
Iowa, it was to be enforced in Illinois,
and was illegal under the law, no mat
ter where made. Although the case
was expressly based Oh the Illinois law,
yet it seems the principle of the illegal
ity of rebates can be sustained under
the mission law, irrespective of statu-
tory provisions. AS far as known tue
question has never been decided before.

THE ROTARY SNOW PLoW.

Ii Seems to Be Il Grand Success,
and Cleans off Snow Rapidly.
The Northern Pacific road is the only
road that owns what is known as ro-
tary SNOW pillow. This road has four of
them, and considers itself as very for
tunate indeed that it does. This snow
pillow is a new invention. Last year the
only one made was in the form of
model, and being placed on exhibition
at Chicago was seen by some one con-
nected with the Northern Pacific, who
was very faVorably impressed with IT,
and finally four were ordered for this
road. The last one arrived week or
two ago. The first one that reached ST.
Paul was sent out TO the Cascade di
vision, and cleared the road up
the mountain in single
day. One went ont TO the jamestown
division and the other two went to other
points on the road and all four have
done splendid work. They can clean
the track right along at the rate of about
twenty miles an hour. and ii makes no
difference whether the obstruction is
snow or ice, it works right through
both. Yesterday one of these plOwS
cleaned the track from Sank Center to
Morris. Mr.. Ainsley, assistant general
manager of the Northern Pacific, says
that he sees nothing to object to so far
as the principle upon which the pillow is
made or the design. Some parts of the
machinery will have to be strengthened
and some of the minor parts changed a
little, but the design is all right. These
four are the first ones manufactured,
and Mr.. Ainsley regretted that
he was compelled to break in
new men who had never seen such
piece of machinery, instead of putting
men on to work it who were competent
and experienced. He proposed TO the
makers to send out men competent to
work the plOwS, but they replied that
the machines were wholly new and they
had no men in the East that understood
working them any better than
The men out West did. He says
they are getting along all
right with them now, and th at next
winter all the roads will have them.
Notwithstanding the fearful snow of
This season. the Northern Pacific has
