To Advance Grain Rates,

CHICAGO, Oct. Especial Telegram
to The BEE, AT to-day's meeting Of
all divisions of the Western Freight associa.
tion, steps were taken to advance tho rates
on grain from the upper Mississippi river
points to Cincinnati TO 10 cents 100, taking
effect October q, to conform to like ad-
vance from st. Louis. 1t was also agreed
that the rates on hard lumber should be the
same as those on soft lumber throughout the
territory of the association. Referring to
the rule admitting of the return of ugricul-
tural implements and other articles at half
tariff rates II was decided to hereafter ap-
ply full tariff rates on the same.
The st. Paul and Santa E'c were accused
of manipulating coal rates and it was dis
covered that each line made practice Of
billing coal to Kansas City ana then, at the
request of the shipper, reOilltng it TO points
beyond and charging the regular through
rate to its destination, Both roads upheld
the practice, quoting the fact that the same
thing was done at Omaha. IL was acknowl-
edged that the system would open the door
to manipulations, but on test vote every
line except the Missouri Pacific favored the
plan. The one negative vote decided that
the plan of rebilling must be abolished

AN INTERESTING SUIT.
One Which vitaily Concerns All Mu-
tuai Benefit Associations.


CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-[Special Telegram to
The BEE.l Am important law suit is on trial
befor Judge Clifford, which vitality concerns
the mutual benefit insurance societies all
over the country, and fills the court room
with representatives of almost every society
of the kind having branch in Chicago. It
Is the case of Bertha Dalberg TO recover
s., 600 benefit for the death of her husband,
from the supreme lodge of Knights of Honor.
Prior to July, 1856, ]. Dalberg, the plaintiffs 8
husband, was member in good standing of
Chicago lodge, No. 932. At this time Dal-
berg was Ill and had some trouble with the
officers of the lodge over the payment
OF sick benefits. He claimed to
have been unfairly treated, and when assess
ment No IA became due he failed to meet 1T.
Under the rules of the lodge he was allowed
thirty days to pay up, and, falling to do so,
was suspended Soon after Mrs, Dalberg
rendered the amount of the assessment to
the officers of the lodge, but it was refused,
ana she was given blank application for
reinstatement. This she refused. The failure
of Dahlberg to pay his quota of the assess
ment to the subordinate lodge did not pre-.
vent that body from sending the full amount
to the supreme lodge, and keeping in good
standing with that body. seach subsequent
assessment on members of the lodge be-
came due Mrs. Dalberg appeared be-
fore the officers and rendered the
amount her husband would have
been assessed were he not Under suspension,
but this was refused each time because of
Dalberg's refusal to apply for reinstatement.
AS Dalberg was very i'll and rapidly grow
ing worse it was thought that the applica-
tion would be unsuccessful and it was never
made, but when he died. June % 1883, the
widow demanded the $1,000 death benefit
This was refused, and the present suit is the
outcome. The plaintiff alleges that, mas
much as the money was rendered to the sub
ordinate lodge and the assessments were
paid by that body to the supreme lodge, the
latter body, which pays all death benefits, is
liable for the amount which would have
been paid Mrs, Dalbcrg had her husband

Prorating No Co

CHICAGO, Oct. TO- Special Telegram
to The BEE. 1T seems altogether likely
that the much discussed question Of
prorating via Chicago to st. Paul and the
northwest will be n thing of the past as soon
as navigation closes.
Up to the present time the Burlington 81
Northern and the other roads quoting n Is
cent proportion of the through rate have
been totally unable to secure all rail seaboard
connections The lake and rail connections
were satisfactory as well as those to south
ern territory but the opposition of the
trunk lines has been bar to
all rail connections to the seaboard.
1t was hoped by the Northwestern
lines, which favored prorating, that the Cen
tral Traffic association would for once OPP
pose the wishes of the Trunk Lines associa-
tion. But to-day the last hope died out with
the passage of the following resolution by
the freight committee of the Central Traffic
association:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that it is inexpedient for this asso-
ciatlon to JOIN in any through tariffs TO ST.
Paul and Minneapolis until Sonic general ar
rangement IS made for rates and divisions
from all the territory of this association and
that such roads in the Central Traffic terri

Mr. Olds further said he had read the ru-
