CINCINNATI, Dec. 22.-The fire at

this morning not only caused an over

When Captain Bray was lost in the

this would be the only casualty. After
the fire had been raging for some time

Cancelled Bank Notes in Circulation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-One or more
national bank notes once redeemed,
cancelled and as supposed destroyed by
maceration have appeared second
time at the treasury department for re-
demptiOn, and it has been found that
the theft must have been committed by
some persons having the handling of
such notes after their redemption by
the department. The lower corners of
the notes containing the names of the
bank officers are cut off after counting
in the redemption agency. The
notes are then sent to the
Office of the comptroller of
of currency where they are again
cancelled by punching and taken under
lock to the macerator for obstruction.
With the many checks on this money
from the time redeemed it is difficult
to determine how theft was acomp.
lished, as these notes when finally
counted, lack the large corners, which,
as stated. are cut off in the redemp-
ton agency before the notes are sent
up to the comptroller and these il
was necessary to obtain to complete
the note.

Prsigbt Ratss tobs Restored

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Western and
southwestern freight rates are to be
restored on January 1. This was the
understanding arrived at by the meet
ing of the general managers of the
lines in the Western Freight associa-
ton to-day, and official notice was
given by all the roads interested of
their intention to enforce the tariff
rates on and after the first of the year.
The principal reductions have been in
the rates on farm products and live
stock. These will be advanced to the
basis of 25c on packing house products
and zoe on live hogs from Kansas City
to Chicago and 27tc aud zoe respec-
lively from. Omaha. The rate
on lumber coming from Chicago
to Southwestern and Missouri river
points was advanced 12a cents to 16
cents. The amended form of the
agreement reported by the committee
appointed at a previous session was
adopted. 1t provides that in addition
to the penalty, already prescribed any
road found guilty of cutting rates shall
| divide with it's competitors the excess
of freight earnings accruing to it on
that account. 1t also gives the chair
man authority to assess penalties with
out calling a meeting of the associa-

Low Passenger Rates.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA local paper
says: A war on passenger rates be-
tween the lines west from st. Paul
has just broken out and in consequence
rates from Chicago to Portland, Ore
gon. and all points west of st. Paul,
are seriously cut. The Northern Pa
cific notified connecting lines yesterday
that it will acc ept, on second class

thirty dollars, from st. Paul. This
makes the through rate from Chicago
thirty-six dollars, while the regular
tariff is S425 The Manitoba s
Canadian Pacific applies its five dollar
differential on the cut rate. making the
through rate by that line only thirty.
one dollars from Chicago. First class
tickets have also been cOrrespondingly
reduced. also the rates to Helena.
Butte and other northwestern points
The break in rates is:said to have been
caused by the cutting of the lines from
the Missouri river and the latter, it is
understood, are making as low rates as
the lines from st. Paul.

AGAINST the Comniss;onsrs.

Dies MONIES, Iowa. Dec. 21.-The
supreme court has filed a decision in
the case of the railroad commissioners
against the Rock Island road, in what
is known as the Iowa City cases. 1t de-
cided that the appeal Of the commits
sioners has no standing in court on ac-
connt of the suit having been with
drawn in the lower court by the rail
road. The governor, attorney general
and commissioners were determined
that the supreme court should pass
upon the issue of rates involved, al
though the Rock Island had dismissed
the case in the lower court. The case
arose over an application by the Rock
Island for an injunction from Judge
FairaH to restrain the commissioners
from putting into effect their schedule
of rates. and the commissioners asked
the judge to dissolve the injunction.
He refused. They appealed TO the SUI
prene court, but later the railroad dis
missed the suit.

The Rock Island Extension.

LIBERAL, Kan, Dec. 20.-A party of
Rock Island engineers with teams,
tents and equipments started from
here this afternoon to make a survey
of the proposed line from here to Ell
Paso, Texas. 1t seems certain now
that the Rock Island will extend its
line from Liberal TO FL Paso early in
the spring, and it is rumored here that
its line from Liberal to Trinidad, Col
orado, where the company owns large
tracts of coal lands, will be commenced
at the same time. Parties who claim
to know, say that the company will
commence to send material here soor
after New Years. There may be some
foundation for this because all the side
tracks here have been heightened anC
put in splendid condition. and are nov
| in shape for handling and storing
large amount OF material for railFoas
construction.

ton this city ever experienced. It
originated in the hardware store of E
w. Shut & Co., and progressed south

United States Supreme Court Upset.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The usual
grave demeanor of the United States
supreme court was upset yesterday by
the audacious ex-congressman from
Virginia, John s. Wise, now a resident
of New York City, who argued case
of Infringement of patent. One after
another of the dignified judges relaxed
into half suppressed laughter, and the
bar and audience INDUCED in as much
mirth as is ever permissible within the
precincts of that august tribunal. The
case at the bar was an appeal from
the United States district court
at Richmond, Virginia, against a
manufacturer Of mems drawers, for in
fringement of patent for reinforce
ment of the seat and crotch. Mr.. Wise
read the opinion of Judge Hughes, of
the district court, and commented upon
IL in laughable way. Judge Hughes
then remarked in his opinion: 1t
strikes me that a patent for a patch
upon drawers designed to remedy the
evils of rip and tear to which they
are liable in the crotch ought never
to have been granted, interior
ing, as it must necessarily do
with the prerogatives of the house
wife of the civilized world to patch
the drawers or their husbands, fathers
and sons freely in their own way with
no patentee to modest or make them
afraid. 1t seems to me that this pat
ent is the reductio ad abSurdum of
the impossible that the patch can be
novel as to the simple manner of
strengthening the seams and the mat
erial of the drawers in the immediate
region of the crotch; for if drawers
do continually give way there it
would be a reflection of the house
wives of civilized society not to admit
that for hundreds of years they have
been patching garments and the forks
thereof, as the pale 1t reads, by lap
ping the seams and reinforcing the
rents in that region. AS TO the dis
orders to mems drawers in and near
the crotch which have troubled house
for centuries, l do not think any per-
son in our day can employ a patch for
the purpose of preventing or curing
them, tn at can have any real novelty. .
In arguing the case the council for
the patenJee said the value of the
drawers was so increased by being re-
enforced that one pair was equal to
two. Among other amusing things
said by Mr.. Wise III reply was that
this could not be true because ii was
well-known evervwher that two pair
beats one, and this one was the only
game where "splIJ7 counted against
u dealer, The evident appreciation of
these and similar references to fash
ionable games of cards seemed to imply
pretty fair knowledge on the part OF
the learned justices, and that was as
amusing to the bar and spectators as
the witticisms of counsel were to the
Judges themselveg.
