FIGHT TO A FINISH.
Lively Passenger Rate War
Between Chicago-Ohio
River Lines.
Another Dollar Clipped Off
the Tariff by the
MOnon.
New Orleans and Memphis
Rates Will Probably Be
Effected.
Railway Construction for the
Nine Months Ended
Sept. 80. !

CHICAGO, Sept. CIT is lively pas
Senger rate war that is now being waged
by the Ohio river roads, and there is no
indication that the end is near. All the
lines are heartily tired of the fight, but
none of them is willing to be the first to
surrender. To show that it is still in
the ring, the Monon today made another
vicious slash at the rates, and left them
81 lower than they were yesterday.
That road is now informing the public
that the rate from Chicago to Nashville
is only $3.50, and that the round-trip
rate between Chicago and Cincinnati,
firSt-class, is 81. And still the MOnon
declares that rates may 60 lower. 1t
S ready to give its competitors their
fill or low rates. Up to the present
the Illinois Central has taken no part in
the unpleasantness, but it is believed
that this latest cut in the Nashville rate
will bring it into the fight, because it
will effect the rates to New Orleans and
Memphis.
4 Heavy Blow.
The road most seriously injured, how
ever, is the Chicago & Eastern Illinois.
1t has through service to Nashville,
but even between Chicago and the Ohio
river it is compelled to divide the rate
with the Evansville line. After rate
of $3.50 is divided among three roads
there is very little for either of them.
Apparently no real efforts are being
made to bring about a settlement of
the difficulty. Outsiders regard the
war as ga most foolish one, and blame
the managers of the interested lines for
not getting together and settling the
difficulty. 1t is believed that single
conference would result in an immedi-
ate restoration of peace. The trouble
seems to be. however, that any over
lures in that direction must come from
the Pennsylvania company. 1t was that
company that inaugurated the fight, and
the other roads can do nothing until it
is ready to call off its dogs of war.
Moreover, it is better able to stand the
loss of revenue than any of its Compel
itors, and in fight to finish is certain
to come out first best.

FACT. AGAINST FICTION.

1nc Misleading Character OF CircurlStan>
r.- tl:l Lv.icnce.
There is no iSmcnt of the imaGina-
tion-if 1T is ell within tho limits of
possibilit;c3-morc curious or STRANGE
than coIac things that actually harpcn.
The following is au instance in proof Of
this:
a few years ago Frank NIillct. tho
wcll-known artist, war correspondent
and story writer, published short
story in = leading raugazinc which had
as its principal feature tho mysterious
killing of = i>ari2ian artist in his own
Etudio, says the Detroit Ercc Press. a
web of circumstantial evidence lcl to
the arrest Of 4 model who had been in
the haait Of posing for him. Eut
through some chain of circumstances
which tho writer of this has now for
gotten the murder, if murder it can be
called, was found to have bccn caused
by the discharge of frcarla through
the force of capillary attraction. The
hrcarr1 was used by the artist as n
studio accessory and was hung in such
manner that he was directly in line
with 1T. It's discharge occurred when
hc was alone in his studio.
The story vas q vivid and ingenious
flight of the imagination. Now ior its
parallel in fact:
"cccrt number Of tho Albany Law
Journal tells of the arrest Of 4 man
upon the charge Of killing his cousin.
The dead man was found lying upon n
lounge about three. o'clock il the after
noon with = thirty-two calibcr ball in
his brain. The cousin, who had an IL
tcrcSt Of one hundred Thousand dollars
III his death, WAS alone with him in the
house at the tinc. The discovery CT
the real cause OF death was due to the
lawyer of the accused, who took the
rifle from which the ball had been fired,
loaded and hung it upon tho wall
and then marked the fern cf q man
upon white sheet and placed it upon
thc lounge where the man had been
found. Then = heavy cut-C;las3 pitcher
OF water was placed upon = shelf above.
The temperature was ninety degrees
In the shad2. Tho pitcher of water
acted Us q sun glass, and tho hot rays
OF the sun shining through tho water
were rcfract2d directly upon tho car
fridge chamber Of the. rifle. Eirht
witnesses were il tho roo1n, nnl q lew
minutes after three o'clock tncrc was
q puff and u report anil the ball Gttiuaiz
the outlined form back of tho car and
the theory of Circunstantial evidence
was exploded.
This Is interesting, not or!y because,
the real occurrence is quite as G;t-a.1c.c
rs the imagined one. but because t.lo
fact came after the fiction and pa3:al-
lcled it SO closely.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Secretary
Tracy in an interview last evening upon
the subject of low records made by trot-
ters this year said: ''The American
trotter ia marvel of endurance. When
L predicted, in 1890. that within two
years 2:o6 or better would be made, and
that in ten years horse would be found
that would do the mile in two minutes
the proposition was received with
amazement; but . :06 has been beaten,
within the limit, and j shall not be at
all startled to hear at any time within
six months that the two minute trotter
has arrived Ten years ago MIR. Wallace
maintained that 2.10 was about the
limit of his powers. The reason for the
faith that was in me then is that horses
at the trot, even at that time, had in
some portions of their heats or trials
shown a two-minute gait. I took it for
granted that the breeding of our light
harness horses would gradually i'm prove,
and that it was only question of time
when horse would be bred that could
carry for full mile the rate of speed
case might be, of two-minute clip.
Did think it necessary 1 could name
a score or more of horses that have
shown speed in quarters and halves
that if maintained for a mile would
have solved the two-minute problem
beyond question.
The improvement in driving, shoeing,
harness, tracks and sulkies have contri-
buted something, but in my opinion not
as much as some persons maintain
Horses, as l have heretofore stated
years ago, when all the accessories were.
crude, showed marvellous speed for short
distances. Now, with this fact in mind,
it must logically follow that the horse
himself is the main factor in the lower
ing of records. He is nearing perfection,
Mind, do not say he has reached it by
harness horse is gradually approaching
the goal, and whatever has been achieved
in 1892, the most sensational period in
the history of the trotting horse, Is due,
more TO the improvement of the animal
than to anything else that can be named
|. In answer to the question as to
whether or not Mr.. Tracy would return
to the ranks of the breeder after the ex-
piration of his term as Secretary ON
March 4th, the reply was: mo, l am,
not rich enough to breed horses again.
Horses sell at too high figure to meet

Special to THK CHRONICLE
PITTsRURG, Pa; Dec 24-The official
figures given show that there are 2iS
families without means of support in
Homestead, which, reckoning five to a
family, gives total of over 900 people
without proper food, clothing or fuel.
The Press of this city commenced the
movement for the relief of the women
and children of Homestead, believing it
better for the people of Pittsburg to turn
their attention to this instance of dire
need than to trouble themselves about
the morbid disputes. When the cry
rolled across the ocean from Russia and
Germany that the people of those eoun-
tries were starving, we sent relief ships
at once. Should we evince less syinpa-
thy for those who are dying for food and
warmth at our very doors? This is moi
an appeal for strikers. The strike has
been over for weeks. The simple fact is
that there is no work for hundreds OF
men, who have, rightly or wrongly.
been drawn into a controversy that has
resulted in such suffering to their
families.
1t matters nothing what has brought
the helpless families to their present
desperate condition. The fact that
stares US in the face is that babies are
crying to their mothers for food that
their poor little hands and feet are
chilled in. houses where there are. no
fires: that women ARE clasping their
wailing babes to hearts from which pri-
yation has already starved out nourish-
ment;e that the bread-winner walks
hopelessly about the streets, and re-
turns to his home in an agony of hope
lessness to witness the suffering that he
cannot alleviate. The women and chIl-
dren of Homestead have been reduced
to distress through no fault of their own
They have been made to suffer through
industrial complications such as MAY
break out in any community at any
time. There is no maudlin sentiment
in this movement for aid for the Home
steaders. 1t is an enterprise to feed
and clothe the hungry and ilI-elad
leaving their sins, if they had any, to
the Power that is generally admitted to
have the best right to pronounce iudg-
ment on the erring.5
