R.R. Cable,.Mts.,on East.

The presence of President Cable, of the
Rock Island route, in New York city is
for an important purpose is the assertion
of an exchange. He is there not only to
refute the assertion of Jay Gould and his
henchmen that the C. R. 1. & P. broke
the southwestern ticket agreement, but
show the Missouri Pacific, the great
growler in the matter, did it. He has in
his possession the original ticket which
| caused the muss, with affidayits of the
parties who purchased it. The evidence
points to Mr.. Jewett, passenger and
ticket agent OF the Missouri Pacific at
Kansas City, and Mr.. Pennington, his
assistant, as the guilty parties. and their de
capitation seems to be fore gone conclu-
sion. These gentlemen have steadfastly
denied thus far that they have sold any
tickets at cut rates They say that the day
the transaction is said to have been made
the Missouri Pacific only sold three tickets
to Denver and one to Pueblo, and the
latter was a half fare ticket to a Wabash
emploYe at 50 TO- That they are not
telling the truth is proven by the fact
that the ticket obtained by the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska is a regular ticket to
Pueblo, purchased at the regular ticket
Office of the Missouri Pacific for SIS
which rate the c., r. 1. & P. has met
The reason that the Rock Island has met
the cut rate without giving previous no.
tice to the Missouri Pacific, was that it
had previously notified lines west of the
river shat it would promptly meet any
cut rate made over a competing line with>
out notice. 1t was only by such prompt
action that it could bring some of its
western competitors, and especially
Gould's Missouri Pacific, to a realization
of the fact that they could no longer vio-
late agreements and rates with impunity
1t was only by such prompt action that
it could hope to secure the punishment
Of the parties guilty Of the violation of
the agreement, all previous efforts to
have them punished for similar violations
having failed. This is why Mr. Cable is

After day and nearly a night of driz,
cling. sleeting, slippery weather. belated
winter sent in an advance guard to her
aid his coming at an early hour this morn
ing in the shape of small blizzard
which has remained with US all day. Nc
very extensive preparations had beer
made for the rather anwelcome visitor
and consequently people were generally
more or less embarrassed as to how to
entertain him, and much awkwardress
was shown in the fulfillment of the un.
happy task. 1t was mighty tough WORK
getting down town this morning: the
local population had not had such 6
struggle for year almost. Supt.
Schnitger, of the Holmes syn dictate, new
er hal so much to do at one time in his
life. Lob. that had the wings Of the
bird that l might fly everywhere" was
the thought that came to his mind when
aroused by the fury Of the storm ont OF
doors. He pulled himself out of bed a,
3 o'clock this morning. and getting into
his high,topped boots and coat. sailed
forth to battle with the snow. He han
died the task well. however, and by day.
light ell the various lines under his man.
agement on both sides of the river were
open and cars running. Only a
few Of the cars. of course, could get
through this morning. and these only
were those provided with plows. Cars
and scrapers were kept on the move
though and by noon the tracks were in
pretty fair shape. A fresh batch of plow
attachments were received this morning
and this almost indispensable machine
will be placed on all the cars.
The snow and slush formed so thickly
in the river this morning that Capt.
Cameron determined to get tie ferry into
winter quarters. and at o'clock the Spen-
Ger steamed off down stream to her place
of safety below the city. This Is the
latest the boat has ever run uninterrupted
with the exception of seven years ago
when she did not tie up all winter Two
years ago she went in Jan. s, but she had
been down for short period and re-
turned previous to that Last year she
went into winter quarters and came out
March 90. though she did not get to run
ming regularly until four days later.
Fierce as was the appearance of tie
storm this morning, there was MOI the
imp ediment to railroad traffic that would
naturally De expected. On the contrary
with little exception all the roads got
their trains into Rock Island on time
The Besrdstown accommodation was
about an hour late, but otherwise there
were no delays of any consequence.
According TO the signal service obser-
vatiens this must be the beginning only
of wintry Siege. This morning orders
came to hoist the black flag and look for
decline of thirty degrees in twenty -four
hours.
