The Contention Of Inc Iowa Roads.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 16.-The competing
lines propose to meet the introduction ofthe
improved live stock cars by the Rock Island
at equal rates with ordinary stock cars by
reducing the running time between Mis-
souri, river and Chicago. Stock shipped
from Kansas City has heretofore not reached
here until the morning Of the second day.
Now it will be delivered the next evening
and cattle will have a nights feed and
rest before the mornings market opens. A
quiet attempt Is being made by western
railroad managers TO keep the reductions
IN grain rates from spreading. The Bur
lingtOn announced last week that under
contingencies it would make a 15-cent rate
from Council Bluffs, but this was met BY a
threat from the Rock Island that 10 would
reduce rates on all classes of freight. and
this has brought about temporary pause.
matters look triae more peaceful than
ast week.

Colorado Springs (Colo.) special:
William Ray, q well-to-do citizen OF
this place, left with his wife on tour OF
the larger towns of New Mexico and
southern Colorado, leaving his only
daughter, Minnie, and young lady
music teacher, by name Maude Dobson,
in charge of the house. The daughter
was between fifteen and sixteen years
of age. Tonight while her companion
was sleeping Minnie stole from the
house and threw herself III front of the
engine of the Midland express, which
passes here at half past o'clock Her
head was crushed and torn from the
body, death resulting instantly. She
left the following letter lying on the Ia
bic III her room:

1t seems that soon after her father
left the girl rented cottage belonging
to him near by for s2O, and then spent
the money The matter seemed to have
prcyed upon her mind until she con.
cluded to end her troubles by taking
her life. 1t was this she referred to in
her letter. The coroner's jury con
cluded that perhaps the girl had been
guilty of indiscretions, but post NOR
tenn examination proved otherwise, and
they returned verdict of suicide while
temporarily derangcd. 1t was the
coolest work imaginable Last night
at she asked her companion to play
and sing some hymns to her, after
which she sat down and wrote the note
and retired to her room. She dressed
in her best clothes and then, lying
down III bed, waited until she heard the
thunder Of the approaching express,
which passes the rear of the house. She
must have run from the room and
thrown herself under the wheels Her
parents, who were at Ration, n. NJ,
have been telegraphed for and are now

Chicago special: The officials of the
Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago arc
not little concerned over the report
that the trainmen along their lines are
getting ready for general strike. The
yard engineers and those on the road
have sent in request for an increase of
pay. Nothing having been heard from
this petition for some time the men are
becoming little nervous lest it may
have miscarried The general griev-
ance committee met last Sunday and
took secret action on the matter, but
deferred their decision until they should
receive some communication from the
officials of the road in regard to their
petition. An engineer on the Pitts
burg, TT. Wayne Il Chicago railroad
makes this statement:
Eve made request for 1 cent an
hour raise. We have been getting 90
cents an hour. We want SO d day.
Formerly we got SO. 25. The men on
the road want something little differ
ent. They want what they call reten-
ton pay. 1t takes about ten hours to
run from here to Ft. Wayne, and they
get so much trip. III they are delayed
or retained anywhere along the road
they get nothing for it. They want pay
for the time they are compelled to lie
i'll their cabs and be idle. There was
also some talk about the double head
ers; double heading, you know, is put
ting on large number of cars and at
taching them to two engines instead of
one. This dispenses with from one to
two brakemen and a conductor. The
men concerned in this are getting ready
to take action, understand, but have
done nothing yet We will not say
what we will do if we don't get the raise,
but you may know that we wouldn't ask
for it unit. we want it and know that
we ought to have it.
A secret session of Representatives of
700 engineers of the Santa Fe system
was held here today. z. NJ. Arthur,
chief of the brotherhood, was present.
