An Unexpected Stumbling Block.


CHICAGO, Oct 30-TSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. AN unexpected stumbling block
was found in the meeting of the northwest
ern division of the Western Freight associa-
tion called to-day for the purpose of raising
rates between Chicago and st. Paul. Chair
man Faithorn. in calling the meeting to
order, told the result of the New York con-
ference of the Canadian Pacific, the 500 line
and the trunk lines That conference had
resulted in proposition by all the lines to
establish through rates from the seaboard
to st. Paul of 1l5, 100, so, So
AZ and 40 on the six classes,
the understanding being that the rates via
the different lines should be the same via all
the lines Traffic Manager Hamblln. for the
Burlington ~ Northern, moved that the
proposition be accepted. This was carried,
so far as the west bound rates were concern
ed, but strenuous objection was made to
their application on east bound business. 1t
finally leaked out that the cause of the OBJ
lection was because some Of the roads did
not want an advance in the flour rate, which
Is now ~ cents on the proportional east
bound tariff and 12H cents locally, from
st. Paul to Chicago. II was charged in the
meeting and not denied that the st. Paul had
sold an immense block of transit at ~
cents. The charge was hotly denied by Gen
eral Freight Agent Hilaud. When 1t came
to a vote the ST Paul was the only road vot-
ing against the raise IN east-bound rates. 1t
was plainly impossible to accomplish any
thing and the whole matter was laid over to
the regular November meeting.
All manner of charges and countercharges
were made after the meeting, the glst
of them being that some OF the lines
were so complicated with lake connections
as to prevent their acting with the other
lines before navigation closed. Eight mem
bers present at the meeting said there was
no question that the rates will be raised at
the November meeting, as navigation would
be closed at that time.

A HOLE IN HIS HEAD.
Drummer Who Carries n Piece of His
Skull in His Pocket.

w. h. Burgess, a typical Chicago
drummer raped on the counter In the
Inter Ocean office last evening with a
peculiar pocket piece. Mr.. Burgess is
certain that there is not another curiosity
like it in existence and money could not
buy the old lucky piece. 1t was passed
around the Office but no one could guess
its nature and all united in requesting the
drummer to tell the story. The charm is
bony in appearance, a quarter of an inch
thick, circular, with rough top and bot;
ON.
Mr.. Burgess said the bit OF bone was a
piece Of his skull and had been removed
by a celebrated Chicago surgeon. Bur
CESS had an abscess in the top of his
think tank and is one Of the very few
men who has survived such a Wis ~itation.
He was healthy a greater portion OF the
time but was subject to fainting spells
which left him limp and weak. Several
times he was stricken down when travel
ing and suffered not a little before con-

cured. The abscess worked through the
skull and Burgess could then relieve him.
self by inserting a bit Of steel through
the opening and removing the pus, but
often he was unconscious before he could
minister to himself in this manner.
The surgeon consulted decided that life
could only be prolonged by removing the
abscess and necessarily a portion of the
skull. The scalp was laid back and CHS.
cling about the aperture commenced.
This would not do and the saw was used
successfully. For two weeks Burgess lait
on his side and allowed the pus to oozt
away. The operation was performed the
4th of March and the subject is now il
perfect health. The scalp was replaced
and has entirely healed, but there is still
hole in the drummer's head.

A CHEYENNE DARKEY.
He Chews the Lower Lip off a Lar
annie Mechanic.
Mike Coughlin, a Rolling Mill Mar
Manned for Life.
The Outcome of a Quarrel in Mr..
D0ran's DeadfalI.

There was unusual excitement in Lara.
mic Tuesday night, the outgrowth ola
row in a deadfall presided over by a man
called Doran. The place is the old New
York house, near the Pacific hotel.
Mike Coughlin, a rolling mill man who
is really a respectable citizen, became en-.
gagged in a violent quarrel with Doran.
A hurley darkey who is said to belong in
Cheyenne, took the fight of. the proprie-
tors hands, and assaulted Coughlin from
behind as the latter was leaving the den.
The colored man was too powerful for his
adversary and pummeled the mill hand
frightfully, using a closed jack knife in
lieu of brass knuckles.
a crowd quickly gathered and the
darkey was yanked from the bleeding
form of Coughlin, who was unable to rise.
No officer appeared and the negro was re-
leased when he resumed operations on
Coughlin's lace. At this iuncture some
railway men came along and put the cruel
slugger to fight.
Couglin was taken to the office OF DR..
Harris, where a startling discovery was
made. Not satisfied with frightiully
b%ruising his victim the negro had bitten
off a greater portion OF Coughlin's lower
lip.
While DIR. Harris patched Coughlin's
face the injured mans friends, who had
gathered to the number of fifteen or
twenty, instituted a still hunt for the ne
gro, who had been allowed to escape
from an officer in the meantime. Railway
men found him in a back room in Doran's
place and hurried him to the county Jail
through alleys as the crowd was in no
pleasant mood when Coughlin's condition
was learned and ii had increased percep-
tibly and all were looking for the brutal
negro.
On the way to the jail the negro was
RECALLED with stories about lyhching IN
Wyoming and asked how he would like
to dance on air. A man VINO assisted in
making the arrest said last evening that
the prisoner became very pale and was
terribly frightened.
Coughlin is MANNED for lite but will re-
cover. The darkey will be sent over the
road for mayhem.
