THE RATE WAR
Western Railroads Cutting Freight
Charges to the Verge Of Demorali-

zatiOn.
CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-The southwestern
roads are putting down rates on packing
house products and provisions. The st.
Paul was charged with making a rate in
connection with the Michigan Central via
Chicago, which reduced the tariff from SO
to 46t cents. The Burlington discovered
the deal and made the same rate with the
Ohio and Mississippi, via Beardstown.
The Missouri Pacific followed in conjunc-
ton with the Belt line, via st. Louis.
Then all association roads met the cut
and business has become demoralized.
Rumors that the western war was about
over is denied by interested lines who say
that no peace negotiations are on foot.

HE WAS A WRETCH.

As yesterdays train pulled out for
Ashland the passengers attention was
attracted to the coarse manner in
which a fellow who had enough drink
in him to make him feel ugly acted
towards his wife. 1t seems that she
had $40 on her person, and he want
ed it for drink. Finding that his argu-
mentS would not win her, he took her
hand and turned back the olefinger
until it was ready to break, at the
same time making grab at her bag.
A number of enraged passengers were
on their feet in a moment, and, quick
er than it takes to tell it, he was knock,
ed to the floor. He jumped to his feet
at once and tried the same tactics, and
was again knocked down. This time
he proiited by his lesson, but improved
every moment i'll cursing the wife. A
more enraged set of people was never
seen, and it looked at one time as if he
would be thrown out of the window
His name could not be learned. -Du-

Verdict Against t5e Northern Pacific
Railroad Company.

JAMESTOWN, Oak, Nov. 26.-In the
case of \. II. Glaspell VS.. the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, the jury rem
dered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for $l2, 54543. The case is of interest
to all purchasers of railroad lands. A.
IL Glaspel Of Chicago, in 1888 pur-
chased some 2,5G0 acres of Northern
Pacific lands in Wells county. The sale
was effected, it was claimed, through
the cGmpany's local agents here and
upon their representations Of the char
acter of the land The sale was made
in winter time and no personal exam
ination was made by the plaintiff. The
lands proved to he ValuelesS except for
grazing. The plaintiff sued for what
the lands would now be worth if they
had been as represented, or $1,000
The railroad company resisted the
claim, alleging that the LEGAL agents
have no authority to sell OF give title TO
the company's land; that all such acts
are done in the ST. Paul Office by regu-
NlF appointed officials; that agents
powers are limited 10 the exhibition of
the lands and furnishing such inform
alton Is the company may not have at
headquarters, and that such non-lia-
bility is stipulated in all contracts of
sale. The read VIII appeal to the su-
prene court. This is said to be the first
ease Of The kind that has occurred with
the Northern Pacific in all It's thous-
anGS OF land sales made from Superior
to Portland, and attorneys say it will
establish an important precedent. The
trial occupied nearly a week, and was

An Assumed Name.

William P. Crooks, of Jersey City
is Grand Secretary of the Order of
Good Templars for New Jersey. He
mas large influence, not only in Jersey
City, bat throughout the State. He
always labored in the interest of the
Republican party until 1884. In that
year a change came over him, and he
threw the whole weight of his influ-
ence in favor of the Prohibition party.
He was prohibition National elector
and Stumped the State for st. John.
Now he has had enough of this third
party, and b as returned to the Re-
publican ranks. To Tribune report
er he said -
81 found that the Prohibition party was an ut
ter and complete failure, that it was beyond hui
man power ever TO realize their dream, and
worst of all, that they labOrIng to smash the
Republican party, or, failing in this to defeat
that party at an haZarus upon an occasions any
regardless of all sacrifice. This was too much
for me. 1 believe more firmly than ever be-
leved that whatever of good to be secured either
in temperance reform or elsewhere, but epecIal
by in temperance reform, will best be secured
within, and not without, the party OF Abraham
Lincoln. speak, of course, of temperance re-
form as a national issue. / know that in this
very city at this moment there Is a vast sum of
money being subscribed by our Democratic
friends in the interest of the saloon, yet the Pro-
hibitionists are not ashamed 10 work hard, know.
ing that every step they take in a close State
like this tends to help that party; for have not
the slightest doubt that they are guilty of the
sin-and it is a grievOus sin-of securing Demo
cratic ascendency in our Commonwealth. i am
sure the Prohibition party men do not expect to
succeed. look upon it as Democratic move
ment under another name. The speech made by
the candidate for Vice President at the ratIfca-
ton meeting in New York some weeks ago dis
gusted me- Mr.. Brooks virtually SAID; we do
not expect to be elected, but we do expect to

Harper's MonthIyas lone of themost
delightful hostelries in the world. "
Every thing about the hotel was neat
and cheerful, and, best of all, the man
agement, from proprietor down, were
all courteous and untiring in their
efforts to make our stay (by far too
brief pleasant. The hotel was built
some six years ago by q Philadelphia
stock company-the house and the
improvements surrounding 1T costing
some 100000. On the Island there
are four beautiful cottages built OF
stone and brick and occupied by Phil
adelphia capitalists. After partaking
of an excellent repast, a couple OF
hours were spent by a portion OF the
party in the bowling alley, at which
games the ladies took a prominent
and leading part.
At eight O'Clock the annual meeting
of the association was held, President
Benedict being in the chair. The main
feature of the evening was a paper
read by D. W. Dixon, late of the Mont
pelier Waterman. TWAS replete with
good things and contained much in
formation of value to the newspaper
man. HeadvOcated and showed With
what success he had met in the ad-
vance pay system, and also disap-
proved of the multiplicity of newspa-
pers in the sparsely settled localities.
A poem was then read by D. K. Sim
onds, of the Manchester Journal, en-
titled the "Vision of the Scribe. ="
Following this there was a general
discussion of the points suggested by
Mr.. DixOn's address, which was par
ticipated in by most of the editors
present.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:-President, G. G.
Benedict of Burlington; Vice-Presi-
dents, Warren Gibbs of St. Adams,
W. D. McMaster of Woodstock, D. M.
Camp of Newport; Secretary, Charles
S. Forbes of st. Adams; Treasurer,
C.. NJ. Stone of st. Johnsbury; Execu-
tive Committee, l.. o. Greene of Wood
stock, Albert Clarke of Rutland, DIV.
Dixon of Montpelier.
At eleven o'clock Thursday morning
the eXcursiOnists embarked on the
Horizon and passed through the lake
to Baldwin, at which point the party
for the north separated from their
" southern" friends, who returned
home via Caldwell, while the former
proceeded to Burlington via Lake
Champlain. The sail through Lake
George was a delightful one, the wild
scenery and beautiful residences being
highly enjoyed. We know of no more
beautiful spot than Lake George, so
rich in historic "reminiscences connect
ed with the early history of our coun-
try, so interesting alike to the editor,
historian and poet, and which nature
has so beautifully blessed in gifts of
lofty mountain, sparkling water, and
health-giving atmospheric cOmbi-
nation which under clear skies, wins
for itself the undisputed title of
4" Queen of American Waters"
Altogether the excursion was most
and delightful one; one
which all who attended will long re-
and look back to with pleas
ure. For the pleasant trip and success
of the affair, much credit is due Col.
Clark of the executive committee.
