Railroad Commissioners Called
Upon to Investigate a Complaint

haIfrOaQ commissioners Called
Upon to Investigate a Complaint.
A complaint of the Twin City Iron
Works, of Minneapolis, against the Chi
cago. st. Paul d Kansas City railroad,
for all alleged unjust and unrea sonable
charge for carrying carload of freight
from Minneapolis to PlainyIew, came
up before the state railroad commission.
1t is claimed that the railroad agreed to
carry q lot of engines, boilers and fit
tings to Plainview for III cents for 100
pounds, 10000 pounds being a carload :;
that this amounted to $780, but that the
road made a charge of SI2 additional for
1900 fire brick, which were ON the same
car, there being but one carload, and a
charge being made for two carloads.
They demanded the return of the Sl2,
which was refused. The explanation
made by the railroad company is that
they were obliged to charge as they did
for the fire brick according to the rules
laid down IN the Western classification
schedule of rates.
Z. Z. Shelby. of the Great Northern;
j. L. Clark. of the Omaha; and Mr.. Har-
rIs, of the Kansas City, were called upon
to testify, and the commissioners will
announce their decision later.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 16.-P. A.
Emanuel, a member of the Aiken bar
of this state, has discovered process
by which aluminium can be freed from
kaolin at an inconsiGerable cost. 1t is
known that a fortune not to be reckoned
by millions awaits the discoverer of a
cheap process for the manufacture of
aluminium. About year ago Mr..
Emanuel applied himself to this prob
lem, and it is believed that he has
arrived at a correct solution. The
material which he uses is the kaoIin of
Aiken county. the basis with which he
worked sulphuric acid. On making the
discovery Mr.. Emanuel went to Wash
ington and submitted his processes to
scientists there, and now he has his dis
covery secure from attack by the proper
letters patent and caveats. The an
nouncement IS made now that by the
ingenuity of Mr. Emanuel aluminium
can be freed from kaolin at cost of
about $3.50 ton.
