CHICAGO, Feb. At leaked out to-
day that E. p. Davis. who has been for
a year or more employed by the inter
state commerce commission to obtain
evidence against the railroads by which
they might be prosecuted for violations
of the law, has been discharged. Davis
was formerly i'll the service OF the Cen
trail Traffic association, employed In the
inspection department, which is pre-
sided over by Chief Inspector Paul T.
Rayuor. He was a capable man. but his
habits were against him. and in the in
terest of the association Mr.. Raynor
found it necessary to let him go and put
another man in his place. Not long
after Davis was employed by the inter-
state commerce commission to assist the
United States district attorney of this
city in obtaining evidence against
the officials of the Michigan
Central road, who were under lndlct-
ment tor manipulating grain rates IN
the interest of Charles COunSelman, the
commission merchant. AS Davis had
had much to do with the case While IN
the employ of the Central Traffic asso-
citation he was able to furnish some val
liable information to the district attor-
ney, and it was probably his evidence
that secured the conviction Of Arthur
w. Street. at that time assistant gen
eral freight agent of the Michigan Cen
trail. After this case was disposed OF
Davis was retained in the service OF the
interstate commerce commission, sub
iect to the orders of the district attor-
ney. Chief Inspector Raynor and Chair
man Blanchard were both seen late this
afternoon. but both declined to say any
thing Oh the subject.

ERB'S DECISION.
1t Is Sent to Judge Caldwell Of the
United States District Court.

III rs ocnU W - >oANa CAA VI 0AAO
United States District Court.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 4.-Receiver
Newman Erb, of the Kansas City,
Wyandotte d Northwestern, who was
appointed referee in the Rock Island
and Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska con-
troversy, has forwarded his decision in
the case to Judge Caldwell of the United
States district court. The controversy
arose over an attempt to foreclose the
mortgage on the Chicago, Kansas & Ne
braska road. When the line was built.
the Rock Island advanced the money
necessary and accepted bonds in return.
The Rock Island issued mortgage bonds
on the road bearing interest. The Rock
Island aftcrward took control of the
road, the terms of the lease being 30per
cent of the gross earnings to be paid to
the original stockholders. The people
of the counties which were traversed by
the road voted bonds, accepting in re-
turn $4,000, 900 worth of stock.
The interest on the mortgage bonds
became due and was not paid and lore
closure proceedings were begun. The
counties holding stock lnthe road pro-
tested against the foreclosure. their case
being That the interest was not DEFAULT
ed as the Rock Island had not paid over
80 per cent of the gross earnings, but
instead had paid only a part OF the
agreed percentage. The Rock Island
held that it had paid the full amount
less the operating expenses. On this
point the issue was made. The case
was referred to MI Erb by Judge Cald-
well. Mr.. Erb decides in favor of the
Rock Island. He finds that the interest
was in default. and that the trustee has
a right to foreclose the mortgage and
sell the road. The case Is one of great
Importance, and if the report OF the
referee be accepted. it means loss of
$780, 600 to the counties of Kansas and
Nebraska, through which the road
passes, together with the loss in divi-
bends due and which the Rock Island
will escape paying.

STOCK MARKET STRONG.
RumOrS of Pools i'm st. Paul and
Lake Shore.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The stock mar
ket continued to show great strength
to-day. and reversed the temper of yes
terday completely, while there was an
increased volume of business, though
the aggregate is still small. Railroad
earnings reported now are showing up
much better than was expected. and
commission houses report again an in
creased inquiry from outsiders, and the
general belief is that should the present
movement continue without serious set
back for little while longer there will
be more outsiders in the market as
well as good buying for London account.
The buying to-day was apparently from
Vanderbilt and Gould sources, but there
were rumors of pools in several stocks,
among which st. Paul and Lake Shore
were conspicuous, and both made hand
some advances to-day, the latter being
helped materially by the report of it's
earnings for the fourth week in Janu
airy. Other specially strong stocks to-
day were Lackawanna, Wheeling &
Lake Erie and Pacific Mail in the gen.
eral list. while among the Specialties
there were some large gains made. Jer-
sey Central, Delaware u Hudson. Edi-
son General Electric and Great Northern

The market opened with firm tone, but
remained dull except for those stocks
which had the advantage OF
clique support. but stronger
tone was soon developed, and late
in the day the upward movement be-
came most pronounced all through the
list. Outside of st. Paul and Lead
trust, however, there was not at any
time any real activity. The long-ex-
pected declaration of the dividend on
Lead trust came to-day, and was great
disappointment to many who have been
expecting one of 1 per cent. Upon this
there was heavy selling by the disap-
pointed spectators, and this neutral
lied the buying which was INDUCED in
by those who have been waiting for the
dividend or other good news before pur-
chasing. The stock rose only small
fraction in the early trading. but lost

FARM NOTES.

The farmer who does not breed up
his stock and retain his calves for the
dairy makes a mistake. One of the
greatest sources of loss is the practice
of buying fresh COWS and selling off the
dry ones. When COW is bought moth
ing is known Of her until she is tested
for her results. She may have many
faults, and may bring disease into the
herd. Abortion in some herds is due TO
this cause, as it is known to be con-
tagious. A well-bred COW, raised on the
farm from healthy, productive stock, is
more valuable than two animals pur-
chased at random, and can be raised at
less expense than to buy an inferior
animal.
1t would be valuable lesson to each
farmer if the experiment was made TO
endeavor to learn how much one acre
would produce. By experimenting on
small plot, sparing 10 expense or
labor in the effort to test the capacity or
the land, the fact would be made plain
that many farmers are wasting capital
and labor on too much land. Manure
that Is only sufficient for one acre is OF
but little value when spread over ten
acres.
AS the spring opens the orchards will
require cultivation and fertilizers. The
best fertilizers for all kinds of fruit
crops are those Astounding largely in
potash, such as ashes and muriate OK
sulphate of potash. Bone meal is also
excellent, and nitrate of silver gives
good results, especially on small fruits,
but the most important Ingredient OK
the fertilizer is potash in some form.
Small potatoes, though not so attrac-
tive in market, are just as valuable on
the farm as those that are large, They
poultry, and will provide an agreeable
change of food for them. IL turnips are
added to the potatoes and a small guam
tity OF bran sprinkled over the mess the
whole will be improved, as well as more
highly rel;Shed.

LAKE FREIGHTS.
Bulletin of Statistics of the
Trffic.

Bulletin of Statistics of the
Trffic.
WASHINGTON, Feb, A bulletin
giving the statistics of the freight traffic
ON the great lakes was issued by the
census bureau to-day. For purposes of
convenience the tonnage is divided into
four classes, namely, products of agri-
culture; products Of mines and quar-
ries; other products; manufactures,
miscellaneous and other commodities,
The chief point of interest in this eX-
hibit is the fact that three commodities,
coal, iron ore and lumber, comprise
rs per cent of the total cargo tonnage of
the lakes. Ii to these commodities be
added corn,S2 per cent of the total cargo
tonnage is accounted for, and if to the
above-named there be added wheat and
mill products, there would scarcely re-
main 10 per cent of the total traffic. The
total cargo tonnage for the season of 1889
was 20, 400, 26O. The average distance
for which freight on the great lakes is
carried is 566 miles. In the foregoing
figures the Canada coastwise trade is
not included. 1t is stated that the ton
mileage Of the lakes is equal to 1926 per
cent of the total ton mileage of railways
in the United States. which shows the
relative importance of the lake COM
merce. The figures of the receipts and
shipments for the season of 1889 from
