The Alton Again a Disturber.

Special 10 the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June 15-It is possible the
Alton will withdraw from the Western
passenger association this week and the
management has decided that if it does this
it will get out of all such organizations and
stay out. The moment it finds itself free
from restraint, except the interstate COM
merce law interferes. it will make a rate
low enough to equalize any disadvantage
that it is placed under by the boycott A
two cents per mile rate on its entire line
will possibly be its first move. This will
necessarily force the adoption of the same
rate throughout Illinois, North Missouri,
Iowa. and through competition between diff
ferent localities the two cent rate cannot be
kept out of Southern Minnesota and the
lower half of Wisconsin. The Alton
threatens to play as much havoc in freight
as in passenger rates. 1t has firmly decided
not to obey the order of Chairman Midgley,
shutting off the present divisions of through
rates with Indiana, Illinois and Iowa and
lively fight over the matter will start on
Monday

First of the Season.

Some quick work in the purchasing and
marketing of wheat has been done by the
Fell Grain company. On last Thurs
FAefay they bought and shipped to Dallas from
Grand Prairie two carloads of wheat This
wheat was run through the elevator and
thoroughly cleaned on Friday forenoon
At 2:30 p. m. the same day the two cars left
Dallas via the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad, one bound for ST. Louis and the
other For Chicago. A telegram from Par
sons, Kan, sent Saturday at 2 p. IN. an
nounced the arrival in that city of the two
cars of Texas wheat, they having been on
the road only twenty-four hours The
telegram also stated that the cars had been
forwarded at once and that one of them
would reach st. Louis on Saturday night
without fail, while the other would reach
its destination at Chicago on Sunday
evening. Both these cars would
be on the general market bright
and early this morning, and being
the first cars of the Texas wheat crop Of
1891, ought to bring fine price
This afternoon the Cockrell grain COM
pany received a telegram from ST Louis
stating that their carload of wheat had an
rived and had been sold, the price obtained
being $l.05I per bushel, or 10 cents q
bushel above the market price This com
pany can feel justly proud of their enter
prise in this shipment and of the great re-
turns brought by it.

Finley and the Alton

CHICAGO. ILL, June l5.-Chairman Fin
ley and the management of the Chicago and
Alton cannot agree on the question of the
Atoms liabilities under agreement for re-
fusing to restore passenger rates between
Kansas City and ST. Louis and ST. Louis
| and Chicago. Mr.. Finley made draft on
the Alton for the amount of the fine i'm
posed by him, and sent it to
the bank. The draft failed to re-
ceive the Required Endorsement, and was
not paid. This leaves the chairman with
nothing further to do but to notify the
other members of the Atoms attitude, and
wait their pleasure. But trouble is not so
likely to grow out Of this situation as it is
out of Chairman Finley's latest decision by
which he authorizes the Atchisop and other
lines to establish summer tourist rates
from Kansas City to Eastern poi ntS by is
suing through tickets by way of Chicago at
a rate equal to the sum of locals by way of
st. Louis. In doing this the chairman re-
piled to the Atoms threat by giving slap
in the face. Alton urged that equality
could be obtained only by reduction in the
round trip rate between Kansas City and
Chicago, and that the fact of boycott sale
of through tickets to Eastern points and re-
turn at reduced rates would place
the Alton at disadvantage. The chair
man saw fit to brush the argument
aside, and he has been notified by the Alton
people that as d measure of self-protectioc
they will at once reduce the round-trip rate
between Kansas City and Chicago suffici-
emily to put their road on an equal footing
with its competitors xxi

DALLAS, Ten, June 15.-This morning J.
+: Lee an old darkey, came to town from
his home near Bales school house and told
the following. TO Justice Ed Lauderdaie.
Saturday evening, late, a vel dressed
young lady and gentleman drove up to his
mouse and borrowed a hoe with which to
dig some fish bait, SO they said. The hoe
was loaned them, and after about one
half hour 1t was returned. Then the
couple drove rapidly away toward Dallas.
Lee and his wife mistrusted that all
was not straight with the couple and
started an investigation. Lee called in his
white neighbor, Dick Lag, and the two
went down the creek in the direction the
young couple had gone, after borrowing the
noe. A search revealed a spot where the
dirt had been recently disturbed, and the
men began to dig. On going down about
two feet they came to some clothing. Con-
Vlnced that something was wrong, they
suspended operations and notified the
officials here. Justice Lauderdale and
DR.. SchOtield went to the scene of the
find this morning and unearthed a well
developed white child which could not have
been over a day old when buried The
affair is shrouded in mystery and the
officers have the matter under investiga-
ton They have good description of the
couple that made the Saturday evening
call, and something sensational may turn
up yet.
Later-It is reported late this evening
that the man in the case has been appre-
hended and that the woman is being looked
for. The parties are said to be unmarried
and are away up'' in the world.

Trouble on the Denver.

A heavy storm was reported in the Pan
handle yesterday, and the track of the
Fort Worth and Denver is again washed
out, this time between Amarillo and Tex
line. Owing to the storm and the conse-
quent bad working of the wires nothing
definite could be learned as to the extent of
the damage done. 1t is feared the Cana
dian river bridge may have gone out, and if
this IS the case. the Denver has lost nearly
all the expensive iron bridges on the line
in Texas. Some trains of stock were
caught by the washouts which will doubt
less add considerably TO the amount of loss.
The Denver seems to be playing in ex-
ceptionally hard luck this season, having
suffered more from Storms than any of the
Texas lines. A popularity of this is that
the washouts and damage from rain have
occurred in a section of country heretofore
considered as beyond the rain belt, and
which people have SO often been told suffer
from want of rain. If the Canadian bridge
is all right there will be little delay to
traffic

One of the most notable examples of
the constant aud yet almost imper-
ceptible changes taking place in the
heavens is to be found in the motion Of
the seven bright stars collectively,
known as the big dipper, Huggns,
the noted astronomer, is now engaged
in proving that five of these stars are
moving in the same direction, while
the other two are moving in direction
directly opposite. Prof. Flsmmarion
has reduced Higgins calculations to a
system. arranging them upon charts.
These ingeniously constructed heavenly
outlines show that 100 600 years ago the
"Dipper" stars were arranged in the out
line of large and irregular shaped cross
and that loo. 600 hence they will have rs
snmed the form of an elongated diamond
