ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct 26-The decision of
Judge Caldwell, intended to settle the con-
troversy between Sedalia, Mo-. and Par
| sons, Kan, over the location Of the general
offices of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad. is the reigning subject of discus
sion among railroad men here and there
has been considerable doubt as to Just what
the decision meant, ana the controversy is
apparently not yet at an end. A dispatch
from Topeka says the order was shown to
AttolncvG General Ives. who said: Kan
sas will be satisfied with nothing but the
complete removal of all the Offices from Sc
dalia. Our statutes are very plain, and
must be complied with to the letter.
lie cited section $50, of the laws of Kan

laws of this state shall have and keep gen.

several gallant rescues by means of life
boats and rocket apparatus.
Dynamiters in Dublin,

DUBLIN, Oct. 26.-Great excitement was
caused in his city this evening by an APP
parent attempt to blow up the Office Of
the National Press, the organ
of the McCarthyites. Members of the
staff OF the paper were just on the point of
beginning the nights work when bomb
fell in the area in front of the windows on
Abbey street, where the editors rooms are
situated. The bomb exploded with a
tremendous report, but FORUM
ately there was no one in
these rooms at the time and consequently
no one was hurt. If the missile had been
intended to injure anybody in the room,
there is no doubt the effort would have been
prominently successful. for the window
panes were broken, casing shattered and
the furniture in the room badly dam
aged. The presses in the basement were
also damaged, and, indeed, windows in all
adjacent houses were broken. The wild
est rumors were spread and an enormous
crowd quickly collected. For a time
there was much excitement. Not
withstanding that every effort was
made to search out the miscreant
the authorities thus far are without any
clew whatever. 1t was noted at the time
of the explosion by those who were present
that the fumes arising from the exploded
bomb had a very offensive odor.

\ Railroad Row.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. pa rupture in the
Central traffic association is one of the prob
abilities of the near future. The Chi, 20
and Grand Trunk people have grown tired
of the losing business through the Irregular
practices OF competing lines and
have resolved npon course of
action that will no doubt precipitate
row. Tomorrow the road will
repudiate the Chicago switching tariff and
will notify shippers that it will hereafter
receive freight At all points without making
any charge for switching. This will be
equivalent to a very large reduction in
rates. 1t is claimed by the Grand Trunk
officials that other lines have been securing
more than their share OF the business by
secretly abolishing switching charges and
they have determined to do openly what
they insist is being done clandestinely by
their competitors. Moreover there is rea-
son to believe that this action of the Grand
Trunk is simply preliminary to something
more startling that is to follow. AS early
as Wednesday perhaps that compapS-
will make an announcement that Is calcu-
lated to create genuine CONSERVATION among
the roads in the Central trartic association.
Just what this announcement will be is
known only to the higher officials ofthe CONF
pauy and they are not ready TO give it OFT
as yet Supposition is that it will be- no
less than a withdrawal Of the Chicago
Grand Trunk from the association.

Assistant General Manager Wood of the
Chicago and Alton road thought the inven-
ton would revolutionize traffic, but the
cost it would save would be needed to keep
the road-bed in repair The higher the
rate OF speed At which an engine travels
he said, the heavier and more firm must
the road bed be. The expenses of con-
stantly attending to the road-bed, ballast,
rails aud ties will about eat up all that,
could be saved by lessening the running eS-
penses. Mr.. Edison has great inventiSn,
and the railroads of the country will event.
ually take it up, but think it will be some
time before they do so. There are so many
engines in use. and they represent such an
amount OF money that the railroads will nosf
be in any hurry to set them aside. Bupis
