RAILWAY SHOWDOWN

tory in Judge Tuley's
Court, Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The sorry show
ing made by the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy Railroad company in its state
ment of earnings for the month of jan
uary was not unexpected. and causes
little or no surprise. Vice President
Peaster says: Zone considerable cause
of the falling off in January earnings as
compared with last year was the failure
of the corn crop in 1890. The gross
earnings from the transportation of
corn from points west of the Missouri
river in the month of January, 1890,
were $4,000, while in tie same month
this year from the same points they
were only $4,000" 1t appears that
the falling off in revenue was chiefly.
If not entirely, on the lines
west of the Missouri river. The statis-
tics compiled by Chairman Midgley, of
the Western Freight association, last
week showed that the Burlington road,
between Chicago and Kansas City, made
a much better comparative showing
than any other line between those
points. Another statement has since
been prepared from Mr.. Midgley's fig
ures giving the revenue OF the various
lines operating between Chicago and
Omaha during the month of January, as
compared with the same period last
year. This shows that the Burlihgton's
earnings from freight traffic on that
division of the system Increased from
SSS,000 in 1890 to S134,0O0 in 1891. The
only other lines showing increases for
that month are the Chicago & North
western, the Rock Island and the Mis-
souri, Pacific. The Northwestern's earn
ings on its Omaha line went up from
$4,000 last year to $4,000 this year,
the Rock Islands from $4,000 to $685.
600, and the Missouri Pacific's from
$1,000 to $4,000. The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul showed a falling off
from $4,000 to 81 900, the Chicago. st.
Paul " Kansas City from SOS. 900 to
$1,000, and the Wabash from S21, 900 to
$4,000. The opinion seems to be unani-
nous among the traffic officials of the
Western roads that the unfavorable
conditions which have played such
havoc with their earnings for several
months will undergo marked change
in April and that business will be fairly
good thereafter. -.

contract and Geiger turned over $40 TO Mum
to bind the bargain. Afterwards Horker sold
the property TO another party, which knocked
the plaintiff in the action out of a good deal
with Thomas Crawford, of Brainerd. where
by he was to receive $1,000 for the land,

DRAGGING SLOWLY ALONG.
The Fire Investigation Committee
May Finish Its Work To-Day.

Nay finish Its Work To-Day.
The investigation of the fire department in
stituted by the underwriters union still drags
along. IL was expected to end last night, but
1t didn't. 1t may be finished to-day and it
may last the remainder of the week. Chief
Runge, Assistant Chief Kenney and the
members of the committee made an inspec-
ton or the lumber exchange at noon yester-
DAY. Chief Runge looked and kept his own
counsel. The fact that the window sash
Ill the rear was not burned, on the two lower
stories was pointed out to the chief as worthy
OF study IN connection with statements that
II was TOO hot to use the standpipe. Yester-
day morning Gilbert NJ. Walker A. Z. Allen
and Supt Egan, of the Edison building, were
witnesses. Their testimony presented no
tacts or special importance. In the after
noon Z. ii. Maxey, one of the owners of the
LUMBER Exchange, and j. r. Long, we're be-
Iore the committee. Their testimony
was not particularly significant The
calling OF further witnesses and
the closing OF the investigation was pre-
vented by tie departure of the fire chiefs to
the burning brewery. The insurance commit
zee say their purpose is principally to find
where the error i'll management was if any,
and then see that it is remedied and not al
lowed to be repeated at future fires. The
charge is made that three of the captains
testified that they were entirely ignorant of
the fact that the building had a sIandpipe
and that they had never been above the third
moor III the building. The committee de-
cllned yesterday to verify this.
One point TO which the committee has
been deyoting considerable attention is the
charge that several of the firemen were drunk
while the fire was IN progress. 1t is quite
likely, however that this part of the allega-
ton is exaggerated. One or two men wear
Ing firemen's hats are said to have become
''Jollied up OH booze during the fire, but it
is denied that they were regular tiremen.
There is reason TO believe that the investi-
CATION is rather turning against the depart
ment, SO far as the general management of
the fire is concerned. Chief Runge is said to
have made the remark before the committee
yesterday that notwithstanding that he said
at the outset that he courted the fullest in
Vestlgation, and wanted IL public, he would
would rather have given 800 than have had
the evidence given to the public, as ii turned
out Chief Runge could not be seen last
night, and it is not certain that he ever made
the remark in question.

Brewery.
Operator A. I. Fay in Finan-
cial Trouble--UnderWrit-
ers Still Inquiring.

Mayor Winston has vetoed the resoIu-
ton awarding the contracts for city
curbing. The veto was signed yester-
day afternoon. 1t and the reasons there
for will be transmitted to the city coun-
Gil next Friday. Until the matter has
gone before that body the mayor de-
clines TO give to the public the reasons
which have determined to withhold his
approval of the resolution.
Mayor Winston has given this curb
ing matter close attention. His action
on 1t is an indication of the line he in
tends to pursue in municipal affairs.
He took no snap judgment in the mat
ter. In the first place, he secured all
the papers on file in the city offices
which would throw any light upon the
question under consideration. All these
he examined carefully and studiouSly,
until he was familiar with every-turn
of the question. Then he set about to
collect opinions, legal and otherwise.
The opinions obtained only further con-
firmed his own. The result was the
vetOing of the resolution. Nobody has
been treated unfairly in the matter, nor
personal preferences carried any weight
and the mayor has vetoed that reSOlu-
ton because he is determined that the
city's business shall be handled as cir
cumSpectly as if it concerned his own
individual pocketbook.
Although the mayor refuses to give
out his reasons for exercising the veto
power, it is not difficult matter to
guess pretty closely to what some of
them are. AS the GLOBE stated when
first announcing the probability of the
veto, the mayor did not approve of
the manner in which bids had
been advertised for and afterward
considered. A gentleman who COLI
verSed with him upon the subject said
that the mayor was inclined to think
that some injustice had been done to
the bidders, in consequence Of the coun-
CLIPS awarding the contracts for straight
curb. whereas the advertisement called
for combined curb and gutter" More
over, the advertisement invited bids on
6l,000 feet of artificial stone and only
1000 feet of natural stone, whereas the
resolution awarded contracts for $4,000
feet of natural stone. The city engineer
will probably be directed TO readvertise
for bids,

Afraid of LEGISLATION.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Chairman Fin
ley has not authorized the Chicago Il
Alton to reduce the rate on mileage
tickets to two cents a mile, but still re-
serves his decision. 1t begins to look
as II the twO-cent rate would surely go
into effect whether the chairman au-.
thoriZes it or not, as the Alton people
seem determined to carry point in this
mater. The officials of nearly all other
TOadsare opposed to such a course. not
only because it would reduce their rev.
enues at a time when they can ill afford
such loss, but because it would be
seized by some Of the state legislators
as an excuse for passing law making
two cents mile the maximum rate of
fare on railroads.

made that the delinquent shares were sold

no further claims will be made.
