CHICAGO VS.. NEW YORK.
The Two Big Cities Both Want
Certain Railway Headquarters.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1870 much interest
is manifested in the meeting of presi-
dents in New York that little else has
been talked of in railroad circles to-day.
Private adyices received by Chic ago
parties this afternoon are to the effect
that warm discussion has been
in progress over the question
of where the headquarters of
the new association should
be located, the Eastern officials and
bankers having declared in favor of es-
tablishlng the main offices in New York.
This proposition. it is said, was so Wig
orously opposed by the presidents resid-
ing in the West that it was finally de-
cided to make Chicago the headquarters
and to hold every alternate meeting of
the advisory board in New York. AS the
meetings Of the advisory board are to
be quarterly, this would give New York
two meetings year, which none of the
resident officials in the West would OBJ
ject to.
So far as the agreement has been out
lined in the press dispatches, it is gen
orally pronounced by railroad men here
as one that all the Western roads can
safely subscribe to. 1t is by no means
certain as yet that the Chicago q Alton
will sign 1t, as President Blackstone is
still n0ncOmmittal on that subject, and
as to the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas
City there is reason to believe that it
will hold off until it knows what per-
centage of the traffic will be assigned
to it in the general distribution at COM
petitiye points. If there is to be a sup
Elementary meeting i'll Chicago to COM
plete the details of the organization it
is safe to say that there will be full
representation of those Western roads
that have held aloof from the New York
conference

spoil Him of 1t.
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Jan. 10.-CharleS
Shafer, an old farmer living with his
wife five miles south Of here, came; to
town Thursday and exhibited a large
sum of money while making pur-
chases. Last night two men
went to the old mans house and de-
manded his money. He told them that
he had no money about the house,
whereupon they commenced beating
him, and when the old lady attempted to
interfere oae of them knocked her down
and began choking her. After beating
the old man until he was in pool of
blood, and thinking his life was about
gone. they started to run. Mr.. Shafer
managed to get out of his house
and started to follow them, when
they opened fire on him. Neighbors
soon gathered and started in pursuit of
the robbers, who started toward the
city. A telephone message from st.
Johns infirmary brought Officers Mann
aud Johnson. who started for the scene.
When about one mile from the city the
two officers met them. The officers
were in a buggy and the robbers
were dlOOt. AS Tie lOISc SIOppcu
the robbers jumped the fence. Marshal
Mann ordered them to stop, and they
answered by two shots from their re-
volvers. A running battle ensued, in
which number of shots were fired, but
the robbers gradually gained ground
until they were hid in the darkness.
Neither officer was wounded, though
they believe that one of the robbers was
hit. The aSSailantS have not been cap

Trunk Line and Traffic Associa-
ton Combine.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Some of the gen.
of Chicago are i'll doubt as to the real
significance of the action taken by the
joint committee Of the Trunk Line and
Central Traffic associations in agreeing
that the payment of commissions shall
be abolished Feb. |. If the meeting
simply meant that the lines represented
in the joint committee were to discon-
tinue the payment of commissions the
action would not affect the roads III the
Western Passenger association. The
prepondera nee OF opinion is, however,
that the Trunk Line and Central Traffic
associations, acting together, have re-
solved to stop the payment of commits
missions in their territory by the West
ern roads, and will boycott any road
continuing the practice just as the Chi
cago IL Alton was boycotted by the East
ern lines few years ago.
IF this is what has been DONE" said
a passenger official of one of the granger
roads to-day. ''then they have done the
proper thing. If they have decided to
turn our tickets to the wall unless we
cease paying commissions TO their
agents, we must either abide by their
decision or establish agents of our own
in the East to take care of our business,
and it is not likely that any of the w est
ern lines would care to go to the ex-
pense at the present time. Many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars would be
saved annually to the Western roads if
commission payments were actually
abolished, but it has been tried so often
without success that am not prepared
to believe that it will be accomplished

ADROIT ROBBERY.
Rear Doors of the Cars Smashed
In With Sledges.

III W I'LL OACuSCSs
DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 10.-An express
robbery that promises to increase in
Importance with investigation oc-
Cured on the Michigan Gen.
trail railroad between Chicago
and Detroit last night. When No. 16.
one of the heaviest express trains on
the road, arrived here this morning at
$40, it was found that one of the
American Express company's through
cars from Chicago to New York had
been ransacked and everything of value
that could be carried off taken. 1t was
one of the slickest pieces of work that
has been done for some time. The
agents have no idea as to the point on
the road at which the robbery was
made. They entered by smashing
in the rear door with a sledge
hammer. Every box i'll the car
was broken open, even those
whose contents were untouched. All
boxes that had evidently contained val
udbles were emptied. The complete
ness of the work showed deliberation in
its accomplishment, and the robbers
were evidently experienced in the bust
ness. 1t will be impossible TO tell
the amount of stuff taken until
the cars arrive in New York
and the contents are checked off. Supt.
Higginbotham, of the local Office, said
he did not believe the robbery amounted
to much, as there were only few
small empty boxes in the car, and he
did not believe any boxes were carried
away.

One to Be Erected on the ST. Louis
at West Superior.
Special to the Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR. Wis. Jan. 10.-A
deal has just come to light which prom
ises the speedy utilization of the great
water power of the st. Louis river.
For years Jay Cooke controlled the
water power, and it was so encountered
that nothing could be done with it,
though many efforts were made. A
short time ago the matter was straight
ened out and the privileges passed into
the hands of a corporation formed here.
Then the st. Louis company was
formed, and number of wealthy Phia-
delphians became interested in the new
company, which at once became active,
and large tract of land was cleared
west of this city. An immense amount
Of wealth was represented among the
stockholders of the st. Louis company,
and A. G. Otis, Shrewd business man
Of large means, was made general man
ager of the company. The public was
not taken into the confidence of the
company to any extent: but, from
the fact that belt line rail-
road was started to embrace the site
III luC pupoIIOE SySlGu vi teTLlllldlS,
and the actual commencement OF build
ing operations of road owned by the
company, great things have been eX-
pected of st. Louis. Articles OF incor-
polation for numerous manufacture ing
concerns were filed at times, and it has
just TRANSFERRED that no less than seven
of these concerns are going IN on the
water front at st. Louis. To-day the
company made public its intentions in
remarkable proposition, which will Ger
tainly be carried into effect, as all the
plans are completed. A Touring mill is
to be erected which Will probably be the
largest in the world. Its daily capacity
will be $500 barrels, and it Will be sup
piled with power from the river. Your
correspondent saw General Manager
Otis, and he admitted that the report
was true that such a mill would be
erected at once; that the capital is COM
ing from Philadelphia, and that some of
the great milling concerns of Buda
Pesth were interested and the milf
would be erected and run under their
direction. AS to the other manufactures
he would say nothing definite. but that
the st. Louis water power would be de-
veloped this year to surprising extent
