BURLINGTON VS.. WABASH.
The Case of the Burlington Against tao
Wabash Before Judge Gresham at Chi

The Case of the Burlington Against tne
Wabash Before Judge Gresham at Chi
cage.
CHICAGO, March 13.-Judge Gresham's
court room and the adjacent halls Were
packed to suffocation yesterday afternoon
when the application of the Chicago, Bur-
lington q Quincy railway for an order on
the receiver of the Wabash railway 10 com.
pei him to receive and handle their fret gh,,
came up for a hearing. The bar. railroads
and general public were represented, and
all paid the closest attention to the pro-
ceedings.
Arguments were made at length in sup
port OF the %" position and were answered
at equal length by the attorneys for the
Wabash and at their close Judge Gresham
practically gave his decision when he said
that he did not think the O. had any case
in court. 1.-THE Wabash has granted you
all you ask" said he. at has promised TO
receive your freight and now you ask the
court to issue an order Furnishing tho
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for
an alleged crime which they deny. and
against the wishes of the general manager
of the road, vino is an officer of This court"
While the Judge thus indicated what his
decision would probably be. he announced
that he would take the matter under adj
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 o: the Brotherhood TO tie up the Wa
bash has yet developed. Should, however,
the decision be the other WHY. II is believed
that every fireman and engineer on the
Wabash will quit work in few hours as
the result of a mutual agreement and not
the outcome of any order issued by the
grievance committee and consequently the
latter body will not be amenabie to the
court for contempt.

GRESHAM'S DECISION.
His Decision Respecting the Wabash's A
titusle to the Burlington.

His Decision Respecting the Wabash's At
titusIe to the burlington.
CHICAGO, March l4.-After formal
statement of the case Judge Gresham de-
livered the following opinion in the Wabash
case this morning:
although the property OF the Wabash
Company is in the custody CT the court,
it is operated by the receiver as a common
carrier. His rights and duties are those of
carrier. He is bound to afford to all
railway companies whose lines connect
with his equal facilities for the ex.
change of traffic. 1t is his duty to
receive from and deliver to other connect
ing roads both loaded aud empty cars. He
can not discriminate against one road by
maintaining the policy of non-intercourse
More need not be said on this question, as
tine receiver has wisely rescinded his in
structions which disseminated against the
petitioner, and he has no purpose or desire
10 deny to the petitioner any OF its local
rights.
Although the petitioner has accom-
plshed its chief purpose in invoking the
AID of the court, i: is urged by its counsel
that persons belonging to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and especially
p NJ. Arthur, who is the chief officer OF
that organization, have intcrfered with
the receiver and his subordnates in the
management of the Wabash property, and
that they should be punished for their
Illegal and contumaciouS conduct. The
receiver and his counsel make no such
complaint. Ga the contrary, the receiver
declares that there has been no interfer-
ence with him. While aflidavits submitted
in support of the petition show that Mr..
Arthur sent Geographic message to tho
eng necrs of the Union Pacific Railway
Company at Omaha, directing them TO haul
no cars for the petitioner. it does not fairly
appear from the evidence tina: the en-
g.neers in the service of the receiver re-
ceived such orders by telegraph or othor.
wise.
"F6r the present it is sufficient 10 say
tina, the court will protect the property Of
the Wabash in its custody. The employees
of the receiver can not be obliged to re-
main III his service against their will. but
neither they nor others will be permitted to
interfere With or disturb the receiver CT
his subordlnates in the possession aud opera
tion Of the property in ms custody. Lawless
interference with the receiver and his en-
ployes in the discharge Of their duties will
not be tolerated. 1t is proper to state. how.
ever, in justice to the Wabash engineers,
that they do not desire to maintain an at
titude OF defiance to the law, and that they
are now willing to aid the receiver in the
lawful and successful administration of his
trust The receivers answer renders it
unnecessary for the court to do NOR. than

Sudden Attacks OF Sickness.

OMAHA, Neb, March 15.-At two O'clock
yesterday morning every switch engine in
the employ of the Union Pacific railroad
had its fires drawn and stood silently in
the round house, and no freight had
left the city all night while ordi-
narily from eight to fourteen freights de.
parted from here daily. The sudden ''sick-
ness" which developed among the engin-
eers Tuesday at the sight Of Burlington
cars continued to spread when the night
crews came on and found 'Q' on nearly
every side-track. Yesterday morning
eighteen engineers were SICK and only
four Of the seventeen yard engineers
were at work. Two crews of engineers aua
dremen have quit the service altogether.

Ceylon's Lasy Crocodllss.
"Babies wanted for crocodile bait.
Will be returned alive"
II newspapers abounded in Ceylon
as much as crocodiles do. advertise
ments worded like the foregoing would
be common in their want columns. As
it is, the English crocodile hunter has
to secure his baby by personal solicita-
ton. He is often successful, for Cey-
lon parents, as rule. have unbounded
confidence in the hunters. and will
rent their babies out to be used as
crocodile bait for . small considera-
ton.
Ceylon crocodiles suffer greatly from
ennui. They prefer to lie quite still.
soothed by the suns glittering rays,
and vile away their lazy lives in medi-
tation. But when dark-brown infant
with curling toes sits on bank and
blinks its eyes at them. they throw of
their cloak of laziness and make their
preparations for q delicate morsel OF
Ceylonese baby humanity. When the
crocodile gets about half way up the
bank the hunter, concealed behind
some reeds, opens up fire. and the
hungry crocodile has his appetite and
life taken away at the same time. The
sportsman secures the skin and head
of the crocodile and the rest of the
carcass the natives make use of.
This way Of securing crocodiles
might be objected to by American
mothers. The American infant imagi-
nation might be shattered by the de-
vouring gaze of healthy saurian who
hasn't had his dinner, but we are
creditably informed by certain English
crocodile hunters that the average
Ceylon infant displays passive indif.
ference to his advances, and that the
only thing which frightens him is the
report of the gun.-PaN Mall Gazette.

/" Nasal Voices. catsrrh and False

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit-
ting they get about this nasal twanR, and
yet it Is fact caused by our dry stimulat-
ing atmosphere. and the universal presence
Of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should 20 many Of our women
have false teethl
That is more of Q poser to the English. It
IL quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory Of derauged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by
want Of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural

and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by malnutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition il

Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry Co.,
