Those Charges of Cutting Grain Rates.

Those Charges of Cutting Grain Rates.
A Chicago paper says: At the meeting
of the managers of the Interstate Com
MERGE Railway Association, the Rock
Island requested that Chairman Walker
be authorized to make full investigation
of the charges against the Missouri Pacific
and Fort Scott roads, for cutting and ma
nipulating grain rates from Kansas City.
These charges were considered by the
southwestern division of the Western
Freight Association at its meeting the day
previous, and the fact was established
that the roads had been taking grain from
Kansas City and St. Joe on bills of lading
over two years old. 1t was also proved
that the Missouri Pacific had taken grail
to Kansas City for local consumption at
that point and issued fraudulent bills of
lading therefor Chairman Midgely
inflicted a fine of 5000 against the Mis-
souri, Pacifc-$10O for the Kansas City
offense and 800 for one at st. Joe, and
fine of 800 against the Kansas City Fort
Scott and Memphis. The latter is not
member of the association and therefore
Chairman Midgely's action regarding it is
final, but as regards the Missouri and other
loads, they contend that the penalty in
ficted was not commensurate with the
offense. They claimed the manipulations
charged against that road involved an
amount exceeding $4,000 and conse-
quently it could well afford to have the
matter disposed of by paying 5000. The
penalty assessed against that road showed
that the company was guilty of violating
the interstate commerce railway law as
well as the Western Freight Association
agreement, and, moreover, that it is guilty
of violating the interstate commerce law.
The interstate agreement provides PEN
atty of not less than 800 and the forfeit
ure Of the revenue secured for violation,
and makes it the duty of the association to
investigate the matter and the charges,
which if substantiated, to enforce the law.
After stormy discussion, the matter. was
referred to Chairman Walker for further
action.

The storm which swept over England and
Ireland Oct. though doing serious damage
every where, appears to have spent its fury
in the northern portions. Reports of casu-
alities resulting from high wind which
prevailed all day and the aggregate loss of
property will be enormous. Several lives
were lost by contact WITH flying timbers
and debris of demolished houses, but the
telegraph wires are everywhere 80 GRIP
pied by the storm that accurate figures
cannot yet be given. In almost every
county in England and in Ireland houses
were blown down by the force of the gale,
and many cases are reported in which tie
occupants remained for hours buried in
the ruins until rescued from their perilous
positions by their more fortunate neigh
bors. In most of these cases serious in
iuries were sustained by being dragged
from the ruins, and in some cases death
has resulted. In the city of Bradford a
large warehouse was blown down, and the
heavy brick walls in their fall >trushed in
four houses adjoining. The occupants
were buriud all night under tons of tan
gled debris, and it was not until late this
afternoon that the hundreds of men who
had been sent to work at once to rescue
managed to get them from under the
ruins Of their homes Many of the vic
Tins are frightfully manned and several
cannot recover.

A dispatch from Quebec SAYS The mos

A dispatch from Quebec says The most
abominabIe weather still continues to pre-
vail here. For the last three or four days
torrents of cold rain driven before an east
erly gale, have been falling almost with
out cessation. Great fears are entertained
in consequence, that another serious land
slide from Cape Diamond will be precipi-
tated. In fact, small portions of the rock
have been falling at intervals during the
last forty-eight hours. Toward the end of
last week, slide took place from the cliff
at Lewis nearly costing the lives of several
persons at Russels shipyard. An immense
piece of rock slipped down demolishipg a
dwelling. Two children were hurled out
of bed by the shock, but escaped without
injury. News from Bay St. Paul states
that six inches of snow fell there Friday.
There was also slight fall at River
Apierre, and party just returned from
Great Lake, jacques county, reports win

Indignant Men of Science Who Failed to
Achieve Immortality Through 1T.


Achieve Immortality Through 1t.
New York SPECIAL.
AT the Museum of Natural History there
is feeling of Indignation over an alleged
Endorsement which it is reported to have
gwen to So-called "sea serpent now on
museums of the city. While ready. in the
interests of science, to investigate all nat
ural phenomena, Prof. Jeness Richardson,
the taxidermist and j. A. Allen deny that
they have accepted the ''sea serpent" In
question as genuine product of nature.
Mr.. Allen spoke to Morris X. Jesup, pres
ldent OF the Museum, on the matter and
Mr.. Jesup agreed that such discovery. it
genuine, should be secured at once, and
never bepermitted to entera dime museum.
A few days ago a telegraph dispatch an
nounced the arrival of Captain BOytOn,
with his captive. in Philadelphia. Mr..
Allen grOaned in despair at this. He felt
sure that Professor Cope, of Philadelphia,
who recently secured the fossil of a phenOc-
odas, would also have the glory of naming
the sea serpent, but later announcement
stated that 1T had arrived in New York, and
would be exhibited at dime museum.
Professor Allen and Professor Whitefield,
the, biologists of the museum, were now in
high spirits, although they agreed that
much diplomacy must be used in securing
the reptile. One of the assistants of
Mr.. Allen was directed to visit the
dime museum, see the serpent and
the next day, confirmed Mr.. Aliens views,
that the serpent was a genuine artl-
Gle, although it differed from all the forms
of the plesiosaurus or the ichthyOsaurus
yet known to paleOntOlOgy. A party of
scientific men started at once for the dime
museum where the serpent was on exhibit
ton. 1t was agreed that terms should at
once be made with Captain Boyton, and
subscription could then be started for the
purchase of this sea serpent.
The most important thing was to name
the reptile before any rival scientific man
could put in claim. The name would be
determined after seeing the creature. On
entering the dime museum they encountered
Mr.. Freeman, who blushed and looked con-
fused. The next object that met their eyes
was the horrible sixty three feet of "sea
serpent" with its rattlesnake head and
double tail. Professor Richardson laughed
as he went up to its side and thumped it.
The body gave out a hollow sound. The
party remained only few minutes and then
wentquietly away with little more comment.
Professor Richardson is not inclined to
talk about the sea serpent, but he said yes
terday: I'VE did not indOrse it. / saw at
glance that it is manufactured of papier-
mache, offered to put up $500 that it was
made to order and in sections for shipping,
but Mr.. Freeman said that he had been de-
ceived if this was so, and he would not
take me up. Professor Allen and the rest
of the party were ut once convinced that
the sea serpent had been manufactured and
was not genuine"

A NORTHERN MANS LUCK.
He Discovers a Cave on an Alabama Farm,
and Makes "a Fortune Out of 1t.

Atlanta Constitution.
1t certainly does take Yankee for luck.
nesOta man by the name of Fuller bought
few acres of land and planted it in fruit
1t was his intention to make Huntsville
his home, and to do what he could
TO promote the fruit-grOwing industry of
that section of Alabama. His property
was on the side of a hill, and, shortly
after he took possession, lie discoy-
cred what seemed to be quite a deep hole
under one of the rocks. He began inquiring
among the neighbOrs about this hole, and
found that nobody had ever had the nerve
to investigate it, but all seemed to think it
might be a little cave in the side of the hill.
such as every hilly country furnishes. But
Fuller was not satisfied. He brought with
which is supposed to be a Characteristic of
the typical Yankee, so he determined
TO investigate this hole in the ground
for himself. He did so, and on
Dee. 81, last he sold this
for S369, 600. He had discovered one of the
most notable caverns in the Southern
States. This was Shelta Rock. 1t took its
name from Mr.. Fuller's daughter Miss
Shelta Fuller, who is one of the prettiest
young women about Huntsville; and
whether it is the name or just the Yankee
luck which brought the good fortune, it is
certain that this hole has proved more than
a gold mine to the man who discovered it.
The writer was so fortunate as to be one
of the first to make an exploration of these
caverns after the electric light had been
put in, and other elaborate preparations for
the reception of guests had been made. The
main cavern is wonderful for its size. and it
is said to be larger than any other one cav
ern in the United States. There are from
it passageways leading to smaller caverns
and points of interest, and there is what
seems to be quite large lake, but which
had not, at that time, been explored.
The company purchasing it is composed of
Iowa and Minnesota capitalists, and they
contemplate the erection of n fine winter
and summer hotel at the cavern, dummy
provements calculated to make the place
an attractive resort. Mr.. Fuller's luck and
enterprise have made him half Million
aire. and he will probably enjoy life in his
own way, while the new company takes all
the risk of booming the resort.

As Queer as Was Ever Heard OF.


Mrs. KinyOun, wife of DR.. J. J. Kinyoun,
surgeon in the Marine Hospital at Staple
ton, Staten island. witnessed IA short time
ago what is seldom vouehsafed TO mortal
eye. While on visit to her old home in
Center View, Mo-, she had the remains of
her mother disinterred for removal
When the casket was opened Mrs. Kim
youn was utterly amazed TO see her moth
er's body was IN just natural and life
like condition as it was when she was
buried. Her clothing was intact, and the
preservation of her body was wonderful
There was no ghastliness about the face,
the complexion was as clear and delicate as
that of a living person, there was even
slight color in the cheeks, and her brow
was as clearly penciled as if it had been
artificially done only few days before.
Mrs kinyoun could see, with startling
distinctness. what she had always heard,
that she strikingly resembied her mother
Her amazement was mingled with certain
Joy, which will be understood when the
fact is stated that she had never before
seen her mother TO know her, as she had
died two weeks after Mrs kinyoun was
born, and had been buriSd twenty-four
years.
Mrs. Kinyoun is a cousin of Senator
Joseph T.. Brown. of Georgia.

The Wickedness of Gotham.
New York Evening Telegram.


The Rev. Madison G. Peters has been
pleasing the Philadelphians with review
of New YOrk's immoralities, especially in
the liquor line. He says that drunkenness
among the women in New York is vastly on
the increase, and that women who acquire
the alcohol habit seldom reform. I'm New
York city, in ten years. of $4,000 persons
arrested for intOxicants, Ct, 900 were women.
Multitudes of women drink, and it is no
unusual thing to see acknowledged ladies
at balls, dinners and in fashionable res
taursnts SO oyerpowered by an old-fash,;;
Toned drunk that they can hardly sit up"
The Rev. Peters, like all Philadelphians,
naturally eXaggerate sin as they find it in
this city. Their local brand is OF quiet.
Quaker pattern, and many brethren of that
pious resort have been known to reel in
this town at the sight of beer truck.
No doubt the reverend gentlemen means
to do justice by the Empire City, but be-
fore accepting these figures as damning
proof of New York's depravity he should
see how many of those DRINKS in ten years
ought really to be credited to Phi1adel-
phians who have run over here TO counter
act the maddening void of Quaker life.
The usual average is fifty week. Brother
Peters will please make the satisfaction.
