proposition for motor line and water
works recently made to the late A. III.

opportunity shortly. With but slight
effort upon their part the matter can be

CHICAGO, Dec. lS.-A rate war is
about to open up in Missouri river pas
senger rates which may spread widely.
The Alton road served notice on the
Western Passenger Association that un-
less the short line rates from Kansas City
to Cincinnati via Chicago are withdrawn
within twenty-tour hours the Alton would
make a reduction Of 81 from Kansas City
to Chicago. The Rock Island and Atchi-
son, neither of which has a St. Louis
outlet to southern Indiana and Ohio, are
particularly indignant, and a meeting to
day ended with the absolute refusal of the
Atchison to withdraw the Objectionable
rate. The Alton asserts that the mauip-
ulation OF these circuItous route tickets by
brokers is demoralizing rates. An official
of one OF the interstate roads said he
would not be surprised to see the rate
drop to SO from Kansas City to Chicago.

A number of glass partitions were
smashed in the wild scramble and the
crush was sutfocatiDg. Five women aud

the heads OF the crowd. The people
were wedged IN a struggling mass so they
could scarcely breathe. The men fought,
swore and struggled ~iurlously to get at
the receiving clerks. While the tumult
vas at its height, the city money was
hastily thrown into the safe and locked
up. A call for the police was sent out
and two patrol wagons and fourteen men
responded. The county commissione
finally quoted the crowd by telling them
them the rebate time would be extended
to January 10. The crowd gave a cheer
and business proceeded quietly. Pick.

DraYtOn, who today was held in 81, 900
bonds for trial at the rex term of the
supreme criminal court charged with in
decently ~assaulting Sadie Manchester.
aged 9 years, has had a remarkably
checkered career. He was born in the
aims house at Taunton, Feb. /, 1858.
His mother was at that time but 10 years
and s months old, while his father was a
lad Of Is years. The records of che over
seer OF the poor at Taunton furnish indis-
putable evidence of these faces. His
mother, Elizabeth Drayton. was herself
born in the same partition May "a, lS47,
and always lived there previous and sub
seauent to the birth of the boy. The
case was looked upon as extraordinary IN
this climate, and was thoroughly investi
gated by DIR. Curtis of Boston. state
registrar of statistics. Drayton, like his
people before him, was brought up in the
aims house and remained a ward of that
institution until IA years of age. For
some minor offense he was sent to the
reform school. and two years later was
sent to the house of correction in New
beuloiu loT ldTceny VI u gun After
leaving there he led a nomadic
life in the Western country, and
finally entered the army. He deserted,
was captured, court martialed and sen.
fenced for a term iu the government peni
Tertiary in Kansas. After his release he
wandered from state to state, oftertimes
changing his location hurridly. He re
turned to Taunton, and within five hour
after his arrival was arrested for stealing
a horse and buggy. He was sentenced t.
the house of correction again in Novem.
Der, 1890. and served a short term. He
then came to this city was married. and
lived an exemplary life until Monday as
before reported. Although born OF a
child, he is six feet tall, straight as an
arrow, and in every way is a remarkable
appearing man. An extract from a letter
sent to the state officials from Tauton in
1858 concerning Drayton SAYS: THE
child is a beautiful little fellow with
bright ewes. Although it is SAID that a
mar with blue eyes was never known to
command a seventy-four-gn ship, yet to
all human appearances he has the essen
tial elements in him to make a great
man.
