JUDGE WEIGH "RILED."
He Thought the Erwin Case Was
Being Trifled With.


Being Trified With.
When the case of criminal libel against
w. W. Erwin, of st. Paul, was called in
Judge HOoker's court yesterday morn
ing, little colloquy arose between
Judge Hooker. County Attorney Jami-
son. and Judge WEIGH, the complaining
witness. When the case was called Mr..
Jamison said: "Mr. Erwin is at Red
wood Falls trying a murder case, and
the next term" .
eyes" said Judge Hooker, 81 see that
they commenced taking evidence only
OH Friday, and suppose the case will
consume all Of this week. Judge Loeb
rem informs me that he will dismiss the
Jury this week"
Judge Welch was silent but inter-
ested listener to this conversation, and
it seemed to 'rile" him. At any rate
he jumped to his feet and remarked in
an emphatic manner, "YOur honor, this
case has been trided with long enough.
think it is time to dispose of it,"
Looking at the venerable but ire
pressible Welch in sort of surprised
way, Judge Hooker said: 81 do not
know what you mean, sir, by saying
that this case has been trifled with!'
II mean," said WEIGH, ''that the de-
PENDANTS bail was forfeited and moth
ing done about it. He is now under in
dictment and out without bail"
"0h, no." replied Mr.. Jamison. "His
bail bond was renewed, and l am ready
to try it as soon as it can be reached.
The length of the COLON case compelled
the state to put over number of GRIM
inal cases."
Mr.. WEIGH thereupon explained that
he had been mislnfOrmed, and that he
meant no reflection upon the court.
The case was put over until the next
term.

CHICAGO, June 5.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. THE general managers of lines
interested in Omaha and Kansas City live
stock traffic met to-day to consider the de-
mand of the Alton for division of this
traffic. The hearing was before Chairman
Walker and Midgley, of the executive board
of the Interstate Commerce Railway asso-
citation. The st. Paul, having the longest
line, has been taking almost all the traffic
formerly carried by the Alton. Under the
rules of the association a division of tha
traffic can be demanded where one line is
carrying more than its due proportion. The
case was argued in full, General
Manager Chappell, of the Alton, lead
ing the discussion. He did not
hesitate to call spade spade, and read the
riot act to the st. Paul, in a way the latter
despised. MIR. Chappell openly charged the
st, Paul with cutting rates and manipulating
in undernand ways to gain the traffic. Ho
said he had aflidavits of all he charged, and
dared the St Paul TO demand their produce
ton. In plain words he demanded that the
alleged Illegal traffic of the st. Paul be cur
tailed. In case this was not done he gave
fair notice that the Alton would adopt meas
urses for its own protection. He did not say
so, in so many words but every official pres
ent understood him to mean that the alterna-
tive would be the withdrawal Of the Alton
from the Presidents association. No de-
cision will be rendered by the executive
board for ten days Exactly II corresponding
case comes up, tomorrow, when the Rock
Island and Burlington will demand u division

This Means War.

CHICAGO, June 5.-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. One of the stormest freight
meetings ever held in Chicago was that of
to-day, held by the st. Paul lines to discuss
the 40 per cent reduction of rates. 1t ended
by the Chicago, Burlington & Northern
throwing down the gauntlet, by the an
nouncement of another slack in rates, this
time to meet the lake and rail, Lake Superior
lines rate of 20 cents New York to st. Paul.
This is a cut from the 34-cent Chicago-St.
Paul rate to % cents. The row started from
the beginning of the meeting when the COM
mittees reported that nothing favorable to
a settlement had been received from
the lake ana rail lines. Within
five minutes every road present
was jumping on the St. Paul, all charging
that road with starting the slash in rates by
cutting the original 50-cent rate to IS cents,
via Grand Haven. The st. Paul officials at
tempted to defend their action, but were
fairy overcome by the force of numbers.
Excited language that would not look well
in print, was freely used and the st. Paul
was charged on all sides with cutting and
manipulating rates as it saw fit. The CHI
cago, Burlington & Northern expressed per-
feet Willingness to restore rates, provided
other lines would do so and then produced
confusion, worse than worse confoundcd, by
the announcement that, beginning June 10.
it would meet the Duluth lake and Ill rate
of 70 cents, an additional cut
of cents below the 34,cent
basis, Chicago to ST Paul. There
was no possible hone of agreement but be-
fore the meeting broke up in confusion a
committee of SIX was appointed to meet the
lake and rail lines in st. Paul next Saturday
to discuss the situation. The Chicago, Bur-
lingtor & Northern wants it distinctly UNDER
stood that it is perfectly willing to settle,
but only when rates to St. Paul, via Duluth
and Chicago, are made the same.

over DIR. Cronin was ended for the day, the
books of the Traders bank, of Chicago, were
brought into the court room by order of

in the bank. OF this money $4,000 and
more was an individual account.
The rest was credited to alexander Sull-

feet that DIR. Cronn had said to
them at different times that he
expected Alexander Sullivan to instigate
some one TO kill him. All were asked if
they had ever heard of threats against the
Doctors life by Mr. Sullivan, and each re-
piled in the negative.

CHICAGO June 5.-This evenings journal
says There is trouble in the ranks of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers.
Chief Arthur is candidate for re election
and as such has been making quiet canvass
of the various lodges of the brotherhood.
Last week secret meeting for
this purpose was held in this city.
There were upwards of 200 members
present representing lodges in Illinois,
Michigan. Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin; and
with their defeat by the 90" a momentarily
expected reduction or wages on the Santa
Fe and the recent discharge of large num-
ber of brotherhood men by the Alton fresh
in their minds they were not at all satisfied
with the chiefs optimistic speech. mem
ber of the general grievance committee, ad-
dressing Chief Arthur, said:
"a reduction of wages is expected to be
made before long on number OF western
roads. Such action we do not propose to ac-
cept, because we do not believe it justified.
We therefore desire to know whether in the
event of a reduction beng ordered despite
our opposition, you would sanction strlkep'
Chief Arthur did not like the question, but
saw there was no help for It, and answered:
"Under no condition OF circumstances OF
which | can conceive shall / ever sanction
another strike"
"But, SIR" broke in the questioner, "sup-
pose reduction of wages should occur on
the Union Pacific system, where the brother
hood is so thoroughly equipped as to obtain
the granting of everything they ask, would
you authorize a strike to resist iti'
Without IA moments hesitation the chief
replied mo, sir: l would not. 1 trust
believe that no reduction of wages is to be
made, but should there be, and they follow
my advice, they will accept the reduction. |
shall never sanction another strike" Chief
Arthur stopped and the meeting adjourned.
Murmurs of discomfort have been hear6
ever since. 1t was known that the chief had
a strong dislike for strikes, but that his con
servatism was SO extreme as his speech
showed it to be it was never dreamed.
