A REDUCTION HIN RATES.

The Baltimore and Ohio Makes a
 Sweeping Cut In Rates on Wheat
 and Corn.
 CHICAGO, July 3.-The Evening Journal says the Baltimore and Ohio has at last taken the bull by the horns. It gave notice this morning that taking effect July it would reduce rates on wheat and corn to Baltimore from 22 to IT cents ard to Philadelphia from 23 to IS cents. The New York rate of 25 cents still remains intact, but there is no telling how long it will stay SO. The cut is as sensational or even more so than the break in rth-Western rates. Some time ago the question of reducing rates was pros posed by the Baltimore and Ohio and thirty nine out of forty-two central traffic roads voted against it. Not whisper of the re- duction has been made since and it conse- quently comes in the nature of complete surprise. The matter was kept so quiet that even the local officers of the Baltimore and Ohio knew nothing of the reduction until this morning. None of the other roads have as yet had time to meet the reduction, but they will do so promptly. The cut is un- doubted1y made, as tEe Baltimore and Ohio claims, because it can get no business at the present rates. It is about the only eastern road without lake connections and has been ct vast disadvantage in securing business. Whether or not the lake or trunk lines will still further reduce the rates is of course, not yet decided. Such action will probably be taken, however, if the Baltimore and Ohio aecure much traffic

Well Deserved Justice.

In the City court yesterday morning Judge Thompson fined Frank Jones, 6 little boy who lives on Fair street, $7 and costs for stealing copy of the JOURNAL AND COURIER from the foundry of Senator James Graham on Wooster street. The paper had been stolen for several mornings. Henry Hurd, a colored man, learning that the papex was frequently stolen, kept watch for several mornings, and yesterday morning detected young Jones in the act. He kept his eye on the boy and followed him to State street near Court, where policeman, who had been nos tifed of the facts. arrested the culprit, who admitted the theft. He was newsboy, who had been in the habit of buying morning pa- pe1s to sell. The judge said that stealing newspapers was an intolerable nuisance. Most people agree with him in this and vig- orous justice should be neted out to the petty thieves until the practice is effectually stopped.

Trouble Threatened over Concession
 About the Canal.
 SAN FRANcJeco, July 3.-Sensational news of probable war between Costa Rica and Nicaragua over the canal came by steamer yesterday from Panama.
 The Managua correspondent of the Panama Star and Herald says that the war party has control of the Costa Rica government, and urges the immediate invasion of Nicaragua, unless heavy indemnity be paid for carry- ing the canal in the San Juan river for sixty miles along the Costa Rican boundary. This land claimed by Costa Rica he1 once been decided by treaty to belong to Nioara- qua, but this treaty will be violated. Mem ocai obtained from Costa Rica only @ few months ago . concession to carry the canal along the river, but the new party gained power and repudiated the agreement.
 Costa Rica hes much larger army than Nicaragua, and the troops have recently been equipped with tho best guns from Europe. Managua is greatly excited, as troops have been massed on the Costa Rican frontier, and an immediate advance is feared.

 Terrible Beyond DeseriptI0n-1he
 Omcial List of tho Seventeen Killed
 Charred Particles Of Eight Bodies
 Found.
 LYHoBsvRo, va., July 3.-The scene of the terrible disaster near Thaxtons on the Norfolk and Western railroad is beyond de. scription. There ia hardly enough left of the train of eight cars that took the leap to the bottom of the awful pit to make one car. AS soon % the boiler of the engine ex and those who went down who were not killed outright were burned to death. Por- ions of eight bodies have been taken out, and 1t is believed that fully fifteen others were entirely consumed by the fire. A sur- vivor of the wreck says that cries for help could be heard from all portions of the wreck, and those unhurt were powerless to render assistance. The women who man. aged to escape lay about on the damp ground suffering from their injuries until daybrsak, and many walked long distances to farm houses. Tho few passengers left uninjured did all in their power for the unfortunates.
 The charred remains of what are supposed to bo eight hodies were found in very minute particles. The body of Engineer Donovan was dug out badly mutilated and identified by his watch.
 ROANOKE, Va., July 3.-The debris at the wreck on the Norfalk and Western railroad has been removed and number of charred bodies have been found.

A SECOND CONEmAUGH FLOOD.


 more Destruction In the Valley Caused
 by the Recent Heavy Rains.
 JoHNsrowN, Pa., July 3.-The heavy rains of yesterday and last night flooded out five families in Cambria City. The water came pouring down the mountain and filled the frat floors of the houses, destroying all the furniture that had been saved from the big flood. There is great alarm among the peo- pie over the condition of the Conemaugh river. The water rose five feet this morn- ing in two houIs and carried away the foot bridge above the Pennsylvania railroad sta- ton. There wes danger of the temporary bridge erected by the B. and o. going out. Six loaded freight caIs were run out on the bridge to save. it. About 10 o'clock the bridge erected at the lower end of the Gau- tier offices is almost total wreck. Orders were given at General Hastings' headquar- ters at 10 o'clock to get everything in shape for quick removal, q 1t was feared the tents would be we1hed away. At half-ps,t Il 1t wes thought that all danger wf1 parsed, when fresh storm broke over the valley. People fear that the Conemaugh will yet sweep over the banks and flood the town.
 FRANKLIN, Penn., July 3.-This section of the country was visited by terrific storm last night that did great damage. Hundreds of derficks were blown down and on Bully Hill south of this city, several barns were thrown over, while the dam age to growing crops is heavy. The western part of this city suffered greatly by tho overhowing of small streams. Gar- dens were totally destroyed, cellars flooded and out-houses washed away. From all parts of the county come reports of great losses to the farmers by the wind and rain, while the losses to oil producers will foot up to several thousand dollars.

A Cuban Kitchen.

R.J
 To American eyes Cuban kitchen looks very strange and unusual. In it one does not see the usual range and numerous shining tins. and in place of our portly Bridget one finds generally colored man, or an almond- eyed son of the Celestial empire. The kitch- en is the yard, generally tiled on it's sides and floor. You will notice running from one side of the kitchen to the other, flat plat form, and at intervals of two feet, grate about five inches wide and ten inches deep. These grates are built in the solid platform and have the draft underneath. There are usually eight or more of these grates. Each one is entirely independent of the other and has it's own separate fire. Charcoal is the fuel used and the gas and smell of cookin g all go up large chimney built over the platform, so that one seldom gets the benefit of the odors.
 The cooking utensils are few and are gen. orally of glazed earthen ware. No bread o, cake is ever made in any Cuban family; il all comes from the bakers and is of excellent quality. The cooking fs as different from American cookery. as is the kitchen. Garlic and other odd spices are used, and many will, merely from the faot of garlic being used, condemn it at once.
