The u. Il o. RelIef Association Affairs to
be Settled Up.
BALTIMORE, Md, February 26. 6.-Judge
Wright has 6led his opinion in the cele-
brated cases of Cannon and Couley against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
These cases were instituted some time ago
by Cannon and Conley, praying for the sp.
pointment of receiver to set pside the ss
signment Of the property and assets of the
relief association made to the railroad
company shortly before the dissolution of
tie relief association under the act of 1888.
The request for receiver is granted. The
question is then considered whether any
thing has been done that would change
this duty on the part of the court which
involves the question of the validity or
legality of the agreement TO transfer all
the assets of the relief association to the
railroad company, as attempted by the
committee of management for said associa-
ton. The first objection as stated By the
court, is that the sgrtement is null and
void. 1: is understood that the railroad
company will take the case 10 the Court OF
Appeals.

forth the bold attempt OF McIntire chair

warned the Republicans seainst the rsck-

dicted that West Virginia Democrats

CHICAGO, February 26 Lake Front
Park will almost certainly be the site of
the Worlds Fair. The Daily Neios this
morning announces authoritatively that so
fai as the Chicago Subcommittee on Site
and General Plans can decide the question,
the location of tie Fair is settled. The
scheme provides for widening the Park
out into the lake from 500 to LOO. This
will give 260 acres for toe exhibition build
ings, promeDades, depots, etc. The Illi-
nois Central railroad tracks now skirting
the present waters edge, are to be lowered
bslow g'ade and covered with grass plat.
AS a permanent improvement, The propo-
tition will increase five times the space Of
Lake Park and provide the largeet park in
the world located in the very center of
great city.
The site, as outlined, is just twenty-five
acres larger that the grounds OF the Paris
Exposition. The lake front is the focus OF
the street car lines, and is on belt-line
railway that crosses every railroad track
enter % Chicago. The site alec has direct
water commdnicsti0p with sll the points
on the great lakes, and all foreign ports
whose shipping can pssl through tbs well
and canal. A Grand Central railway
union passenger depot is designed to be
erected at the foot Of Madison street, on

thin and thick coal operators in
that vicinity. The Pennsylvania,

timore and Ohio we're sll well represented
The meeting had not progressed very far
when it became evident that the question
could not be settled until the relative
rates from Pittsburg and the Hooking Val
lev 10 the Lakes wss..drst established. There
was large number of Ohio coal railroad
representatives present, and they convened
and formulated their demsrd, which was
that the rates from OHIO coal points to the
lakes be - cents lover than from Pitts
bnrg TO the lakes. When this conclusion
was present ID to the Pittsburg committee
il made them very weary, for last season
the difference in rates between the two
districts was only five cents ton.

CINCINNATI, O., February 26.-All the
elements of disastrous Aood in the Ohio
river seem to be now present. Continuous
wet weather has saturated the earth so
that the excessive rsin.fslls Of the past
three or four days have all found their
outlet in the tributaries of the river.
Along the entire valley of the Ohio, the
rainfall has been enormous. From the
Kentucky side. Big Sandy River comes
with a boom almost unparslled while

The rise since a. m. yesterday for n hours

40 feet inches in the channel. About
five feet more will begin the interference
with railroad traffic a1d every inch after
