CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Chicago,
Burlington & Northern railroad came
to the front with its periodical sensa-
ton to-day. At the meeting of the
Western and Northwestern divisions of
the Western Freight association, gen.
eral Freight Agent Hamblin, coolly an
nounced that his road would Immediate
ly reduce its proportion of the through
fate from the Atlantic Seab0ard to St.
Paul to the basis of 10 cents, firSt-class,
to meet the competition of the Canadian
Pacific and the Lake Superior water
routes. There had been no previous in
timatiOn that such step was cOntem-
plated. The preceding day had been
spent in revision of the special COM
modify rates between Chicago and ST.
Paul, the Burlington & Northern cheer
fully agreeing to a cancellation OF
some of the rates and TO an
advance of 20 to so per cent in others.
In consenting to this agreement, Mr..
Hamblin had stipulated that it was not
to Interfere with any action his COM
pany might hereafter see fit to take.
But this was regarded as merely pre-
significance was attached to it. The

of what his road proposed
to do. The tariff was already
in print and dated to take effect
Aug. 10. The necessary three days no.

Commerce commission by telegraph,
and copy of the tariff forwarded to
Washington by mail. 1t was too late
for the other roads, even if they had
desired so to do, to meet the action of
the Burlington & Northern in time to
have their rates in effect en- the same
date. An effort was made to take some
kind of united action in regard to the
Burlington Il Northern's departure,
but nobody seemed to know what ought
to be done, and adjournment was taken
till Tuesday. The serious phase of the
situation is the probability that the Iowa
lines will adopt the same basis of
through rates to Iowa points and even
to the Missouri river, in which case
local rates must come down to CORE
spending level, because in that direction

AN INDIAN EGG DANCE.
A Difficult and Delicate Feat Per-
formed by Dancing Girls.

Indianapolis Journal.
A much more pleasing performance
is the ''egg Dance" This is executed
eorsage and very short skirt, carries
willow wheel of moderate diameter
fastened horizontally upon the top Of
her head. Around this wheel threads
are fastened, equally distant from each
other, and at the end of each Of
these threads is slip-noose, which
is kept open by glass bead.
Thus equipped, the young girl comes
toward the spectators with basketful
of eggs, which she passes around for in
spection to prove that they are real, and
not limitations. The music strikes up a
jerky, mOnotonous strain, and the dan
Ger begins to whirl around with great
rapidity. Then, Selling an egg she puts
it in one of the slip-nOoSes, and, with a
quick motion, throws it from her in such
way as to draw the knot tight. The
swift turning of the dancer produces q
centrifugal force which stretches the
thread out straight like ray shooting
from the circumference of the circle.
One after another the eggs are thrown
out IN these Sllp-noOSeS until they make
horizontal aureole or halo about the
dancers head. Then the dance be-
comes still more rapid, so rapid in fact
that it becomes mole difficult to diStin-
guish the features of the girl; the mo-
ment is critical; the least false step, the
least irregularity in time and the eggs
dash against each other. But how can the
dan e be stopped? There is but one
way-that is to remove the eggs in the
way in which they have been put in
place.
This operation is by far the more del
icate of the two. 1t is necessary that
the dancer. by single motion exact
and unerring, should take hold of the
egg and remove it from the moose. A
single false motion of the hand, the
least interference with one of the
threads and the general arrangement is
suddenly broken, and the whole per-
Torrance diSaStrOuSly ended. At last
all the eggs are successfully removed,
the da pcer suddenly stops, and, with
out see ming in the least dizzied by this
dance of twenty-five or thirty minutes,
she advap ceS to the spectators with d
firm step and presents them the eggs,
that are then broken in dish to prove
them real. .t,

A WIFE WON AND LOST.
The Matrimonial Experiences of
an Aged Virginia Bachelor.

The Matrimonial Experiences Of
an Aged Virginia Bachelor.
Arthur Coard, susceptible old bache-
lor, living near Accomack Court House,
went to Baltimore about two weeks ago
and surprised his friends and neighbors
by returning with wife and her
mother. They went to Coard's home,
where, according to his confession, he
had told them he owned farm worth
$4,000. Not finding the farm, the dis
appointed mother-in-law took her
daughter az d returned to Baltimore by
the first amer that left here after
their arrival. Coard accompanied them
as far as Onancock on their return. and
took very cold and formal leave Of
them at The wharf.
Coard gives a remarkable account of
the manner In which he wooed and won
his wife. He says the young lady's
mother took him to lawyer in Balti-
more, who informed him that the laws
of that city require man to be confined
in the same house with his ?betrothed
for eight days before he could marry
her. He was accordingly shut up in
the house, and never allowed to
see his intended or go on the
streets except in the company of
his prospective mother-in-law, who
always kept a sharp eye on
him. 1t was during these days of con-
finement that he RECALLED them with
stories of his fabulous wealth in lands
and oyster beds OH the eastern shore of
Virginia. At the erd of the eight days
the marriage ceremony was performed,
the willy mother-in-law refused to allow
her daughter to leave unless she her
self went with her. She took charge of
her Oh the boat, occupied the same
stateroom with her, and forced the
groom to go below.
Coard says he does not regret what he
had done, and if his wife wants to come
back he is ready to treat her with all
due affection, but he does not propose
to cry if she never comes back. He
says he has managed to complete the
greater part of the journey or life as a
bachelor, and thinks he can finish the
rest very well as grass wldower.

drifted into lines of life which preclude
the idea of sympathy with her. The
Fourth of July is day of agony with
her. She shuts herself up in her own
room, which soon resembles a sweat
box, and she melts there all summer.
1t is very different with the wives Of
some workingmen. They seldom hear
of holiday. Women of the Queen
Victoria class can never know the eX-
quiSite pleasure of leaning out of win
dow and engaging with a neighbor in
light conversation. Women who are
closely restrained by custom have their
own drawbacks.

Sullivan's SIedge- TANNER Blows.

u Wv
The habituteS of the Laciede Hotel
have lively recollection of the visit
which John l.. Sullivan paid to that
hostelry some four years ago. He was
there for several days, the observed of
all observers. A number of gentlemen
did their best to induce him to give
an exhibition of his wonderful strength.
This he declined to do, but at length
yielded to their solicitations and per-
formed a feat which none who wit
messed it will ever forget. Stepping to
the bar, which is of hard mahogany,
he laid a silver dollar on the cOun-
ter. He then raised his right hand
and brought his fist down upon the
coin with tremendous force. Upon rails
ing his hand it was seen that the coin
was stamped deep into the bar, and
could with difficulty be extracted. Every
letter and line of the device was repro
duced in the hard wood and remained
plainly legible for two years. in spite of
the frequent scrubbings to which it was
subjected.

at his desk than in his wife's company"
or who leaves her to find diversion as
she may in the gaieties of summer-re.
sort promiscuous pleasure-seeking while
he plays billiards or poker with his
cronies, may expect to be scandalized
unless his wife is altogether too good for
him-es she generally is.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Diocese OF oregon Created, WIFI
Morris Bishop

Diocese of oregon Created, with
Morris Bishop.
NEW YORK, October I'm the Protest
ant Episcopal Convention. this morning,
Reverend DR.. Hanckel, Chairman of the
Committee on New Dioceses, presented a
report on the memorial from the Mission
airy Diocese Of Oregon, asking that it be
admitted as Diocese, and that Mission
sry Bishop Morris be made Bishop. DIR:
Goodwin objected that the election OF
Bishop Morris as Bishop of the Diocese
was not in accordance with the constitu.
ton.
Rev. DR.. Hanckel replied that whether
this was so or not, the main question
was that the Diocese Of Oregon should be
admitted. After further discussion the
question was divided. The simple propo-
sition to admit Oregon as Diocese was
unanimously carried, and consent wat
then unanimously given to the election
of Bishop Morris.
Missionary Bishop Haddock, of Wash
ington Territory, told of the work done
during the past three years there, anc
the needs of the Diocese for financial as
sistance.
Rev. Robert Shaw Locke, who for the
past fifteen years has been a missionary
in China, said the only hope of convert
ing the Chinese, Japanese or natives O
India was by having native
missionaries. Missionary Bishop Talbot
of Wyoming and Idaho, spoke of the
work in his Diocese, ard of its needs
both in money and men. The Board O
Missions then adjourned as token o
respect to the memory of Bishop Vail, o
Kansas, who died yesterday at Bry1
Mawr, Pennsylvania, while on his way
to the convention.
