ADJUSTMENT PROBABLE
To Prevent Rate Cutting--Local
Railroad Notes.

There is every indication of an adj
justment of passenger rates in such a
manner as to obviate the probability Of
cutting for time at least. At the meet
ing held in Chicago Thursday, it was
decided to appoint committee to "a
range rates via all the routes from Cen
trail Traffic association points to st. Paul
and Minneapolis on an equal basis.
That committee is to report at meet
ing to be held next week, when it is eX-
pected that arrangements for prOrating
from all Eastern points will be made
that will be satisfactory to all. A gen.
eIal meeting of the presidents Of all the
lines that are members of the interstate
commerce ASSOCIATION is to be held in
New York on Jan. ID, and it is expected
that action will be taken then that will
formulate basis of freight rates be-
tween st. Paul and the East for the
opening of spring business.
A meeting of the ST. Paul roads was
held at General Freight Agent Clark
Office in the Omaha building this morn
ing for the purpose of considering lum-
Der rates between st. Paul and Duluth
and Western points.
An announcement was made yester-
day by the Manitoba officials that the
reOpening of the line to the Pacific
coast via Butte and the Union Pacific
connections from that poiut would &C.
cur Immediately. The line is shorter
than the Pacific coast line and has been
closed for considerable time.

SLAIN AS THEY SLEPT.
A CoId-Blooded Triple Murder
and suicide.


ROCHESTER,, Mich, Dec. 2S.-A cold
blooded triple murder was committed
two miles north of Mount Vernon last
night by William Major, who killed his
wife, his daughter, and his granddaugh-
ter. Major, who is about fifty years old,
and well-to-do farmer, was in Romeo
Yesterday and came home cheerful. His
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Depew, of Bran
don, and her little daughter were visit
ing the house; and, after conversation
with them, the family retired. The peo-
pie were but fairly asleep when Major
arose and began the work of
slaughter. He took revolver and
shot his wife as she lay asleep, putting
two bullets into her body and mortally
wounding her. The noise of the shoot
ing awakened the others, but the MIR
derer did not hesitate. Springing into
the apartment occupied by his daughter
and her child he coolly fired bullet at
Mrs. Depew, and when it failed to kill
her, he procured an axe and Knocked
out her brains. Then he pulled his
little granddaughter from beneath
the bed clothing and with one blow split
her head open, killing her instantly.
Major then rushed into the room where
his little son slept and CROPPED about Inc
bed for him. The little lad had crawled
under the bed for safety. As he heard
his father searching the room. he said:
Are you going to Kill me,
too, papa?" mo, my son." re-
piled the murderer, do not be afraid
/ won't hurt you. When l am gone
you get $50, which l VIII leave you,
end divide it with your sister," The
boy gave the alarm as soon as he could
and the neighbors found Mrs. Major
still alive. She cannot survive, how
ever. Tne other two were instantly
killed. Majors body was to-day found
in his barn. He had committed suicide
by hanging.

The Rapid Rise and Fall of OAR

Scranton Republican.
George Sluthour, born and raised in
New Philadelphia, o., poor boy,
started West about fifteen years ago de-
termined to make his fortune. He be-

was worth 100000. Sluthour was
anxious to be worth a million
before returning to his old home,
and one night, when the room
was filled with well-known sporting
men, many of them worth their half
million, he determined to try for big
strike. Luck again favored him, and
by 8 o'clock in the morning he had bro
ken the bank and had enough to MAKE
his fortune count a cool million. He
was not satisfied with this, but kept OH
playing the next night. That very
night he began losing. and before MORN

before had vanished. He was a Million

Even with this loss he was still pos

playing a desperate game, riSking thou
sands of dollars at time, but luck was
against him. His princely fortune en-
tirely disappeared. The sad sequel to
the case is that he has been brought
here hopelessly insane. Finally it was
found necessary to take him to the
county infirmary, where he is now con-
fined in the insane ward.

An Official Gossip and What HIS
Duties Should Be.
Boston Courier.
1t is great pity that among the i'm
provements which have been intro
duced by the progress of civilization. it
has not yet come about that an official
gossip has been appointed. The people
of the present generation are no better
off in the matter of having their chit
chat accurate than were their grand
mothers, with the additional advantage
that the multiplicity of subjects which
the times have introduced into life,
makes 1t hundred times harder for
them to keep everything straight in
their minds and In the telling.
An official gossip should be aperson
whose business it should be to set right
all rumOrs, to correct all false reports.
and in general, to keep the gossip of
the day straight. Of course, everybody
who was likely to be talked about would
give to the official gossip the version of
affairs which he or she wished put i'll
circulation, and this the official gossip
would correct at discretion-for of all
things it would be necessary that the
official gossip have the greatest possible
supply of discretion-in the light of
such other information as was forth
coming,

A CUT OF TWO DOLLARS.
The Burlington Fires the First Gun in
the Rate War.
NINE DOLLARS TO CHICAGO.
Northern Pacific Magnat es Decide 10
Extend the Burnett
Branch.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2s.-The expected
break in passenger rates in consequence
of the collapse of the Western States
Passenger association, has occurred.
The Chicago, Burlington & Northern to-
day set the ball rolling by announcing
q preliminary reduction in Northwest
ern rates, to take effect Jan. 1, the day
following the expiration of the agree
ment. 1t is claimed by the Burlington
& Northern that this step is taken to
meet irregular competition which has
been going on in spite of the existence
of the agreement. The present rates
from st. Paul and Minneapolis to Chi
cago are $11 for first-class limited tick
ets, and SO for second-class. 1t is pro-
posed to reduce the first.class fare to SO
and the second-class to 81. At the same
time the rate from st. Paul and Mill
neapolis to st. Louis. which is now
Sl5.S5. will be reduced to sl3. The Bur-
lington & Northern furthermore intends
to meet the rates of the 500 line on ex-
cursion tickets from Minneapolis and
ST. Paul to points in Canada and New
England. Other reductions are pretty
certain to follow.

selves by reckleSSly prociaiming that in
the snort and tear of this hooming mare
a shoe would fly off, smash some of the
precariouS interests a-broadside, and
the nag of such phenomenal progress
would go lame, "shure." The advice
to young men was against the great
GOgebic, which the agitation in the East
spread by western leaSehOlders, tended
to incite men to mad desire for inter.

tional reports of the sudden realization
of vast fortunes come in like stlmulat-
ing Zephyrs from Magee's restaurant OF
the health office.
The Alidor was designed, formed and
ready for action. Experts were en-
plOyed and the work of prospecting on
earnestly begun. The concerted wealth
and energy of this jealous company OF
self-constituted mining kings was
brought 70 bear upon the pick, shovel
and dill which probed the unfruitful
crust of the GOgebic. The work of
sinking the pit and assaying the find
was left with the supposed experts, who
had immediate charge of all affairs at
the diggings, and thus for the gentle
men in st. Paul knew nothing of their
leasehod but what was cleaned from a
great profuSion of beautifully printed
and highly colored maps-by far more
beautiful than the wild region they
pictured. A movement was soon di-
rected in st. Paul by that prosperous
leader in the financial world, William
Viguers. toward the establishment of a
stock board. which should practice the
forms and features of the New York
exchange. Mr.. Espy had just COM
pleted his building on Fifth street, and,
strange as it may seem, he
thought the scheme for the pro-
posed organization a capital one
and urged the formalities which made
of it an institution with several thousand
dollars of dues paid into the treasury.
He then rented US good portion of his
new block, and our treasury expert
enced a slight depletion. If heaven
doesn't reward our landlord, we will!
Alidor was among the first stocks TO be
listed Oh the new exchange. The call
was regularly held by President
Vigsers. and sales were nervOusly made
back and forth; the rent became due
just the same. and there was no visible
disarrangement of the weather.

And. While Given Hearty Re.
ception, Correct a False Report.
A ripple of delight thrilled musical
circles yesterday morning, when few
of their principals were advised of the
presence in the city of Herr Aamold and
Miss Ellen Beach-Yaw, the popular
little prima donna. Herr Aamold and
his company have just returned from
the Western coast, where the public
treated them to an extraordinary recep-
ton. The society of the larger cities
along the route SWarmed in parties and
companies to hear the entertainment of
this skilled violinist, and the clever
little songstress. Miss Yaw. Crowded
houses met them at every stop. The
mayors and society leaders of several
coast towns, Portland, Fargo, Crooks
ton and other cities, toasted and ban
quoted them; struck to wonder with
AamoId's execution OF the mysterious
instrument and Miss Yaw'S beauti-
full voice. When the company
reached the city yesterday morn
ing, Manager Thrane left for
the East. MIR. R0denkirchen for his
home, and Herr Aarnold gave way to a
siege of musical people. anxious to
know the extent of his stay. Miss Yaw,
overwhelmed by the hearty reception
of her friends. found it task to leave
the Ryan for waiting friends in Mime
apoliS. The success of the company,
which was born here, was fatteTing
enough in the West to move the pride
of our people who follow the progress
of musical culture in ST. Paul.
The latter part of the week
the company will move eastward to
New York, and South. A number of
society ladies have sought to induce
Herr AamOld and Miss Yaw to partici-
pate in a musicale to be given at the
Peoples church, bat owing to the short
stay the company is making the formal
recognition to these artists has been
postponed to March, when grand
concert of the company and local
talent will be given for society'S
delectation. On arriving in the
city yesterday morning Herr
Aamold was chagrined at the news
which has been published by the dis
charged member of his company-Miss
Myra Beals-that the concern had suf-
fered a severe wreck and was in finan-
clal straits. This report was given to
morning contemporary with evident
design. 1t was Miss Beals conduct
which moved Herr AamOld to peremp-
torily demand her resignation. after
which the chill of further communion
with the company urged her from its
ranks. Nothing was heard of her until
the winds of gossip preyed upon the
false report referred to. The morning
journal of to-day. under press of duty,
will make an explanation.

That Will Save Twenty Minutes.
Special to the Globe.
TACOMA, WASH, Dec. 28.-Engineer
Huson, of the Northern Pacific, has re-
ceived instructions to let the contract
for the construction of the Burnett
branch. This line, now leading to
the South Prairie coal mines, will be eX-
tended two miles further into the coal
lands of the Washington Improvement
company. Engineer Huson and Supt.
Horner left yesterday for Kalama to
look over the inclines, preparatory to
rebuilding them. The plan of improv-
ing these inclines includes an extension
of track on the Oregon side for about a
mile, to a point where the new incline
is to be built, almost directly opposite
that on the Washington side. The
time now occupied in crossing the river
is thirty-two minutes, but when the
contemplated improvements are COM
pleted it will only require twelve min
utes to make the crossing, clean saw
ing of twenty minutes.

THE AL1poR IS GIVEN.

With a kOpec from a pupil, he could
test his astronomical proellvltles, and
with glutton and shocking indecorum,
devour macaroni in the innermost con-
fines of an Italian restauranteur'S es-
adjustment on Third street.
But the ''Alidor" was finally keyed
for presentation and the Grand opera
house ticket office became the armature
of every purse. The receipts were
large, the opera was ''SociaF' success
flor all OF our girls took prominent
parts" Aristocracy, moekocracy, snob-
ocracv, wealth, fashion and the figure
4 were all represented. The signor,
arrayed in conventional dress coat,
stacked in pair of lavender trousers
which put incandeScence to blush, led
the climaXes to heavenly pltch-threW
all into a ranting emotion OF mingled
pride and marvel. and then announced
an intermission. 1t was delightful
aop! The first night so filled
the composer of the "Alidor" with pride,
that he found it impossible to eXult
enough. He was so thrOtLled with grail
tude for the Grafton that he only found
relief in certain soothing decOctions-
usually found, in cases of emergency, in
the sanctum cIOSet-of church deacOn'S
home.
The first rendition of the 'Alidor'was
received with flattering appreciation.
But as the week progressed, the public
wearied. and the lyric classics sank into
dead repose-Since covered with the
dust of unmerited amnistie.
The very inartistic atmosphere which
breathed a dIrge to the genius of
Janotta, and buried under pecunlary
loss his clever opera, probably con-
tanned an element upon which a ruder
enterprise might thrine. At any rate
so it seemed, for no sooner had the
projectors of the "Alidor" opera turned
their immobile side upon the indltfer-
ence OF a self-termed. art-appreciative
public, than the signOr and his fellows
in commercial thrift looked toward the
other and more prospecting part Of the
odd twin.
