The Western Passenger Meeting

CHICAGO, Ill, July 25.-The meeting OF
the Western passenger association was
practically barren Of results. II was
called for the purpose of considering the
situation as offered by the Chicago and Al
toms attitude in regard TO the Grand Army
of the Republic rates, but the most that
was done to meet the action of
that road in extending the limits
of tickets to conform with those
of the Central Traffic association There
was no suggestion made looking toward an
amicable adjustment of the difficulties
The Rock Island representative proposed
an excursion rate of S25 for Z round trip be-
tween Chicago and Denver for a certain
period in compliance with a request
from a member of the Denver citizens.
The Burlington moved to amend by making
the rate 81 for the round trip, which had
the desired effect in killing the original
proposition. a rumor got abroad in the
meeting to the effect that the
Alton had decided to further re-
duce the rate between Kansas
City and Chicago to IS on account of the
Grand Army Of the Republic meeting at
Detroit. This caused 50 much cOnsterna-
ton that the meeting adjourned without
further action.
The officials of the Alton say the rumor
was without foundation, as they have no
intention OF making the rates any lower.

Display of Brute Force.

New YORK, July "a prize fight re-
markable for its astonishing brutality, took
place this morning at prominent sporting
resort on Long Island, between
Tom Tomsley, who weighs us pounds,
and Bill Hoggart, who fights at the same
weight. Both men We're stripped. When
time was called at , O'Clock they went 1T
each other like game cocks. II was ham
mer and Songs from the beginning to
the end. For twenty rounds of the
twenty-eight fought it was nip and
tuck Each man punished the other Sc
verely, but neither seemed to have d decis-
i've advantage. The combatants were liter
ally dripping with gore, and they were not
4 pleasant sight by any means. Only twelve
persons present, including the principals,
and though they We're hardened veterans of
many years of sporting experience they
WINGED at the savagery they saw,
almost amounting TO butchery. Both
of the young fighters had terrific
4sittfhg powers. and they were absolutely
mercilcss in using them. Finally when they
both had been bagged TO a jelly in the
twenty eight round Tomsley, by lucky
blow. CAUGHT Hoggart on the iugular and
the latter reeled around dazed and helpless
for seveaal seconds after he had been
counted out. Neither one of the parties is
satisfied with the result and it is thought
they VIII meet again in the ring before

Railroad men predict that within the next
three years great deal of new railroad
building will be done III the Southern states.
Most investments there are said to pay
well, and considerable railroad building is
now in progress in the Gulf states to de-

mediately improve. The far West seems to
have lost its attractiveness for railroad en-
terprise, and the scene of building opera
tons is gradually being transferred to the
Southern and Southwestern states.
