Railway Racket.

The enginemen on the Illinois division
of the Rock Island road are becoming
more and more dissatisfied with the new
order running them through to Chicago.
So far the Rock Island men have been
getting al the short runs out of Chicago,
and the east end men have been coming
through, some of them having made two
round through trips since Rock Island
men left the city. One home crew leav-
ing here last Friday has not yet returned.
and several others that left the same day
did not get back until yesterday. This is
not very encouraging for the Rock Island
men who have any regard for their
homes.
The accident on the Rock Island road
Yesterday morning was at Bureau instead
of Peru. 1t seems that the second II was
delayed at Bureau. and tlsgmsn was
sent back to flag the third II,
but he went to sleep and the lat
ter train came dashing in and ran
into the second II. Then first 10 ran
into that. a nd knocked several cars over on
to the other track just as passenger train
No. 8 came along. and it was nearly
ditched in consequence. Four trains
were. therefore, mixed up in the wreck,
and as many engines disabled. No one
was injured. Engineer Hawthorne. of
this city, was in the wreck.

GEN. ADAM BApEAu,s STATUS.
It Seems to Have Been a Good Dea
Mixed Since 1869.

It Seems to Have Been Good Deal
Mixed Since 1869.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. THE status
of Gen. Adam Badeau, who for the past
fifteen years has been off and on the rolls
Of the army as retired officer, has been
at last decided by Attorney General Miller.
The decision holds that there ia no legal
right to bear Badeau's name on the re-
tired list of the army. Gen. Bsdeau was
appointed as assistant secretary of lega.
lion at London May 6, 1869, and resigned
his position in the army. He subsequently
resigned his position as assistant secretary
Of legation, was restored to the army and
was afterwards appointed consul general
to London. After this he was placed on
the retired list, was dropped, and by va
rious decisions was put on and taken off
again at intervals for several years. Now
the attorney general decides that when he
resigned on May 6. 1869, he was finally out
Of the army and all other decisions in
his case were erroneous.
