Iron and Steel Rates Reduced.

PITTsBUEG, Pa, Jan. 5.-The freight
rates on iron and steel have been re-
duced by the Central Traffic association
from 81 cents to ~ cents, and Is cents
to points west of Pittsburg. The re-
ductiOn is in the nature of surprise to
the manufacturers, as it was entirely
unexpected. They were given to I'M
derStand that the rates would be in
creased about 10 per cent and for the
past few days have been shipping all of
their iron and steel possible to take adj
vantage of the rate prevailing. The
schedule is to Chicago and East st.
Louis. There is al advance on every
thing else.

FUNNY LEGAL NOTICE.
A PoeticaI Petition for a Divorc
from an Unpleasant Woman,

A POetical Petition for a Divorce
from an Unpleasant Woman.
Cincinnati Commercial
For several weeks past Mr.. G. 81. Etz,
of Washington, d. c., special agent of
the United States labor bureau, depart
ment of the interior, has been busily
engaged collecting the divorce statistics
of each county in Ohio. While in this
city not long ago he gave Joe Plumb,
deputy clerk, a copy of peculiar di-
vorce petition, written in poetry, which
he had copied from the records of Por-
tage county, this state, this being but
one of scores of queer legal divorce doc
umentS which he has come across during
his research among the records.
This strange old document from Por-
tage county reads as follows:
The undersigned, in modest tone.
Announces to his wife, who's gone.
With deep regret and short discourse,
His application for divorce.
Before the court of common pleas
He's filed statement of his case,
And charges his Sophronia dear
With conduct very strange and queer.
To speak quite plain, he says that she
Is guilty of adultery;
That, not content with one mans charms,
She folds whole townships in her arms.
In gross neglect of duty she
Isworse than Madam Xantippe,
And makes his home from sill to spire
Almost as hot as hades' fire.
In eighteen hundred and sixty-six
She hitched herself to Edward Wicks,
And leaving plaintiff quite alone
She sloped with Ed to parts unknown.
Complainant mourns, alas, alack.
But mourns for fear that she'll como back;
And, therefore, TO Judge Tuttle's gone
70 cut the knot that made them one.
At next November term of court
Sophronia viii please report;
Or, in default of doing so,
Petitioner will not be slow
TO ask Judge futile to cut the chain
And make the prisoner free again.

Important Railroad Case.

Special TO The GIODe.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 5.-One of the
most import suits in the history of Ne
braska railroad litigation was begun in
the United States court to-day by the
Union Pacific railroad against the state
board of transportation. The company
asks for an injunction restraining the
board from attempting to fix freight
and passenger rates, on the ground that
this comes exclusively within the juris-
dictiOn of the interstate commerce COM
mission, and for the further reason that
the Union Pacific is creature of fed
eral legislation and not subject to state
courts of any description.

SERVICE.
Fret not that the day is gone,

Fret not that the day is gone,
And thy task is still undone.
Twas not thine, it seems, at all;
Near to thee it CHANGED to fall,
Close enough to stir thy brain
And to .vex thy heart in vain.
Somewhere. in nook forlorn,
Yesterday babe was born;
He shall do thy waiting task;
All thy questions he shall ask;
And the answers will be given,
Whispered lightly out of heaven;
His shall be no stumbling feet,
Falling where they should be fleet;
He shall hold no broken clue;
Friends shall unto him be true;
Men shall love him, falsehood's aim
Shall not shatter his good name.
Day shall nerve his arm with light;
Slumber soothe him all the night;
Summers peace and winters storm
Help him all his will perform,
IT'S enough of Joy for thee
His high service to foresee.

RELOCATED to the Shades.

Alexandria Journal
The Christmas edition of the st. Paul
GLOBE is one of the largest and hand
soonest ever gotten up by any daily in
the United States, and speaks well for
the energy and pluck of its manager,
Lewis Baker. 1t is wonderful the
growth, circulation and prestige the
GLOBE has attained since falling under
the management of Mr.. Baker. The
GLOBE is undoubtedly the best paper i'm
the Northwest and lays the Pioneer
Press clear back in the shade behind
their ice palace.

The Western Freight War.

CHICAGO, Jan, 5.-The only happen
Ing in the Western freight war today
was the action of the Alton in making a
combination to reach Toledo and other
Eastern points in competition with the

TO make trouble in the Central Traffic
association. as the Wabash will with
draw unless the Eastern line connecting
with the Alton is diScinlined.

TRANSCONTINENTAL MEETING
The Chairman of the Association
Expresses His Opinion as to
What Should Be Done.

What Should Be Done.
The Northern Pacific people yester-
day received letter from J. S. Leeds,
chairman of the Transcontinental asso-
citation that has been called for the 10th
inst, at st. Louis, Mo. Leeds says that
it is contemplated, as per resolution
passed at the st. Louis meeting of Dec.
10 and 20. to elect general agent for
New \ ork, and one for San Francisco:
and consider such other general matters
as may be brought before the meeting.
1t is important also that freight rates be
revised so that the basis of rates and di-
visions by all routes may be harmonized
and that revision of the commodity
rates. as well as OF classification, be had
at the earliest possible moment. 1t is
therefore desirable that the freight rate
committee be also represented. Mr..
Leeds would like also to have the mem
bers consider, before coming to the
meeting, the reform of report which
will be required by the chairman in
both freight and passenger business,
particularly the latter; and the method
by which the information can be
reached with the least delay.
