1lon in resolving Monday 10 advance rates
in the trans Missouri territory in spite of
the Missouri Pacific. seemed for a time

more than they can stand. ConSe-
oucutlY ~ an organization meeting was
called this morning and the Missouri

claC0 to only consider rates in the west

would all agree 70 restoring rates 70 the
old basis The Burlington x Northern
and Wisconsin Central both opposed an
advance as was shown on a test vCJc The
Wisconsin Central insisted on fifteen hour
trains between Chicago and 81. Paul instead
of the present thirteen ana h8ll hour and
announced il would vote against an ad-
vance in rates until il had carried its point
The Burlington thought such matters AS
this ought To be settled before any advance
was maue. The Alton gave notice than IN

age To shippers of stock IN common cars
The Altou's notice of reduction 10 lo cents
Chicago was voted down Under the ten

series of startling crimes. Charles Miller
turned states evidence and not only con-
fessed that he and his partner robbed the
Pacific Express messenger but also con-
fessed that they had raped two white
women, robbed store and residence and
held up pedestrians on the public high
way and robbing them The case
has been tried from time TO time
but always without coming to any
conviction or acquittal Commodore had
always maintained until today that he
was innocent, but when he learned that
his brothers case was ''noll prossed' he
broke down and confessed to the sheriff
and his attorney that they were guilty Of
not only the crimes which Charles had
turned states evidence of, but more. On
the receipts of this intelligence action IN
the case of both prisoners was deferred
until the 18th, when more sensational de-

A MURDER MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

CHICAGO. H.. April 10.-Jennie McGar-
vie, who was found lying unconscious in a
roadway in the outskirts of the city on the
morning of March II, dying subsequently
in the county hospital, was killed by
blow with billiard cue the night before.
Alexander Rice. Lansey Daniels. alias
"Coc'' Linsey w. o. Pelkey and George
Gibson. alias. Texas are held in custody
pending further investigation. They are
colored men. They were arrested on com
plant of Rachel McGarvie, otherwise
known as Mrs Sharks, the dead woman's
sister The arrests were made some time
ago and the men have been held
secretly in one of the outlying
police stations The story, as developed
by the police. is TO the effect that the
woman went to a notorious place on State
street on the evening of March 16, and
soon afterwards left there in company
with Pilkey; that they went to EnglewOod,
where they met Rice; that she went with
Rice to a house occupied by herself and
Linsey: that quarrel ensued in which
Rice struck the woman on the head with
billiard cue, and that seeing that she did
not recover consciousness, he carried or
dragged her to the place where she was
found This is the police theory, nOtwith-
standing the fact that Rice charges the
murder upon Linsey saying that he saw
Linsey hit the woman with a club.
