Chairman FaithOrne Solicits
Their Views Looking to a Re-
peal of the Iowa Freight Tar
ifs.
CHICAGO, June 15.-Chairman Fai-
thOrne. of the Western and Northwest
ern Freight association, has sent out the
following letter to the presidents of the
lines in interest, namely, all the Iowa
lines in his association:
81 have just received definite infOrma-
ton that the Iowa commissioners have
issued their rates. | have but few of
the figures. These preserve the MiSSis-
sippi and Missouri river rates for 300
miles and appear to advance the rates
somewhat for short distances. Taken
as a whole, the tariff would seem to be
a material advance over the original
figures. When more definite informa-
ton comes to hand, will advise you
promptly.
"A close examination of the new tariff
shows that the commissioners have de-
cided to advance the rates about % per
cent above the figures first issued. The
rates, nevertheless, are at least 20 per
cent lower than ever in effect before,
and while they will be put into force by
June %, they will not meet with the APP
probation of the rail ways and their
managers. Will you kindly consider
the law to learn what steps may be
taken by them to reScind the action of
the commissioners

With Fatal Results in Each

ZANEsNII.E. o., June 16.-A: terrific
explosion, succeeded by several second
airy ones, at 11:20 this morning, startled
the whole city. Closely following was a
fire alarm from box 5, in the heart of
the business portion. Those in the
neighborhood saw the large two-story
brick ware house of Bailey Bros. q Co.,
in the rear of their building on Main,
between Fifth and Sixth, with several
surrounding frame buildings, rise in the
air and fall with q crash in heap. A
team of horses which stood at the door
of the ware house was almost covered
with the debris, and Charles Murphy, a
farmer, blown out of his wagon in pass
ing. The awful extent of the disaster
was not realized until Abner Grayson.

was supposed to be dying, was recov-

escaped with slight injuries. Mort

bility of his being alive. John Lehman,
driver for E. p. BIoomer, was in stable
adjoining. but managed to get from the
wreck with severe, but not fatal, in
juries. Jesse Carder, cOlored, employed
by Bailey Bros, was taken from the
wreck badly burned. Miner, who was
taken out after the explosion, is dying,
and cannot live an hour. GraysOn, it
is said. has inhaled the flames. and his
injuries will prove fatal. The house is
the largest wholesale drug firm in
Southeastern Ohio, and the ware house
was filled with gasoline, paints, oils,
etc, which ignited from some cause yet
unknown.
AT the time of the explosion five men
were working iii or about the building.
w. w. Miner, drayman. and his as
SiStant, John Swingle, were loading a
dray at the rear door. George Morton
Bailey, William Grayson and Jesse
Carter, the latter two colored porters,
were in the building. Miner and his
assistant were buried beneath the ruins.
The two men were recovered, but one
was very seriously injured. Miners
injuries are considered dangerous.
GraysOn and Carter escaped, badly
bruised. The body of George Nj.
Bailey was recovered.

BAFFLED FIREMAN.

A Big Blaze in Which Cooperage

HAMILTON, o., June 16.-A big fire
is in progress here this morning. About
80 o'clock blaze was discovered in
Carter IL Browns cooper shop. The es-
tabliShment is one of the largest in
Hamilton, and is total loss. In a
short time the flames were cOmmuni-
Gated to Thompson's lumber yard, and
the department was unable to cope
with the flames. 1t was decided that
nothing could be done to save either es-
tablishment, but it is believed that the
flames can be prevented from doing
further damage. No one knows how
the fire originated, except that the
blaze was first seen in the cooper shop.

HER OWN Old DARLING.
A Senator Who AbandOns His
Wife for Committee Work.

Wife for Committee Work.
A good deal of amusement is furnished
this spring by the wife of certain
United States Senator who always calls
her husband Darling" He isn't such
aone as the term would be ordinarily ap-
piled to, being big and burly and not
very nice about his person, but she
seems to think it is pretty pet name.
and uses the term of endearment Oh all
occasions. Whether she is addressing
him in private or public, she
always says Darling" and does it so
frequently that when "Darling' is re-
ferred to now everybody knows who is
meant.
Darling has such bad cold,p she
said to another's wife the other day,
THAT am going to put him to bed when
he comes home"
Darling went to the capitol early this
morning" she remarked to another, ''to
attend one of those horrid committee
meetings. What dreadful things, they
are! L positively hate them. Why,
Darling says if it wasn't for his commit
tee work he could spend lots of time with
me-"
The other senators have ''caught on,'
so to speak, and now seldom allude to
their colleague by any other term-in his
absence of course. One senator came
very near making blunder the other
day by using it at the wrong time. He
entered the committee room little late,
and as he took Off his coat and gloves,
looked around the table, at which half
dozen or more senators were seated,
and asked:
"Where's Darling?''
There was some frantic gestures to-
ward bookcase at the other end of the
room, and the late conner bluShed deeply
and looked alarmed. Darling" was be-
hind map rack. where he could not be
seen, and if he overheard the remark he

CHICAGO. June 16.-It has been
agreed by the leaders from New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut that they
will, if possible, unite upon candidate.
With Depew out they are at sea. Ex-
Senator Platt made the statement
tonight in the most positive
terms that New York had not
committed itself to any one,
and that he had promised his personal
influence to no candidate. Trustworthy
information, direct from an Eastern Re
publican, whose state will press him
for a place on the ticket. is that New
York and New Jersey leaders had
agreed upon Judge Gresham Just after
the Buffalo convention. When the
KnOw-No othing story came out they
abandoned Gresham and for az time
leaned toward Gen. Harrison. Then
Harrison was dropped on az
count of his Chinese record,
and for other reasons, and Gen.
Alger made the favorite. Alger was
uppermoSt in their minds when they
left home, but they have heard so many
stories about the use of money in his
behalf that they have been frightened
away from him and are now without
candidate. No man. not even Platt
himself, knows what New York will do.

WINNIPEG, Man., June 16.-General
Manager w. c. Van Horne, of the
Canadian Pacific railway, arrived here
tonight. Yesterday the general mana
ger was waited upon by deputatiOn of
the municipal council of Port Arthur
with regard to the erection of
car shops there. MIR. Van Horne said
no decision had yet been made regard
ing the location of the shops, except
that they would be removed from Win
nipeg. The first thing the company
would remove from Winnipeg would be
the foundry, and they would save in
that alone from $4,000 to $4,000 per
annum. The removal of the Canadian
Pacific railroad foundry from this point
which is all that is really intended, will
not be very serious loss, as very little
in that line has been done here. In the
general repair shops, however, improved
and larger machinery has been put in.
1t has been known among Canadian Pa
clfic railroad employees here for some
time that the c0mpan y contemplated
the erection of foundry at Port Ar
By the erection of additional shops at
Port Arthur the number of employees
here will not be materially reduced.
1t is evident from the num-
ber of private interviews being held
between Northern Pacific railway Off
cials now in this city, and local gentle
men interested in the construction of
the connecting line of railway between
the r. r. V. r. and the Manitoba and
Northwestern railways, that something

Northern Pacific gentlemen returned
