THE TENTH STREET SWITCH,

IEh TENTH STREET SWlIGd
At Monday nights meeting of the city
council the matter of the proposed side
track along the line of the Jefferson City,
Boonville and Lexington division, twelve
hundred feet west of Tenth street, was
discussed, and the mayor appointed a
committee of three members to act with
the city attorney and engineer in examin-
ing into the thing. The Missouri Pacific's
engineer, Mr.. Rohwer, was here last fall,
and staked out the line, and the company
informed the authorities that it would
iron the switch il the city graded the bed.
This has been the hitch, and there are
those who question the outlay for that
purpose, doubling the utility of the step.
There is no doubt but that Water street,
fronting the proposed sidetrack, affords
.soHa Of the finest sites ;or munu:.ctc~ine
in the United States, with plenty OF coal
and water almost for the asking, "but,"
said n well-known and thoroughly posted
citizen Tuesday evening, 1--WE can't expect
much in n manufacturing way, even with
our unsurpassed facilities, until there is
railroad communication direct between
the north and south. The placing of this
switch would entail an outlay, to my
way of thinking, sooner or later of $500
to $1,000 for macadam to make the switch
available.
"What / consider of most Importance"
he continued, ais contamination devout-
ly to be wished but at present wholly UNI
attainable, and that is, "a station at the
foot of Tenth street. The railroad COM
pany will not listen to this proposition.
and, when the city has expended a sum
for grading the switch, will put Il lot of
WORKOUT iron down, upon which Yard
master Walk will run a lot OF empty coa
cars in winter and box cars in summer
Let's all move, if moving is any good, for
n station at Tenth street, and have all
trains stop"

UEMURRERS 81 STAINED.
The Rocky Branch Coal C0mpany'S
Case Knocked out.

Judge Dillon rendered an opinion to-
day of deep importance to the Missouri
Pacific company, says Tuesdays St. Iouis
ost-Dispatch. The opinion sustaius de-
murrers to the suit brought against the
Missouri Pacific railroad company and
other companies by the Rocky Branch
Coal company because of the alleged re-
fusal oi the Missouri Pacific railway COM
pany to allow the Rocky Branch Coal
company to connect its switch at Hig-
ginsville, Missouri, which led to the coaI
mines of the Rocky Branch company with
the Missouri Pacific road. As co-dcfend-

is alleged that the coal companies includel
as defendants with the Missouri Paciti
company are controlled by the Missouri
Pacific railway and that Thu
Missouri Pacific railway company refusc'
to let the Rocky Branch Coal company

Missouri, To connect it's switch with tn
main line of the Missouri Pacific railway
thereby impeding the sale of the Rock,
Branch company's coal. The Rock,
Branch Coal company asked for 5000
damages.
The case did not come TO trial, but wa
decided on demurrers. In dispOsing o
the case Judge Dillon says:
am Of the opinion that the demurrer
to the petition must be sustained as TO al
the defendants. 1t seems clear to me tina
there is no cause OF action stated. 1t i
true that n conspiracy existed between al
the defendants, but the illegal act which
is charged to be the purpose and culmina
ton of this conspiracy is the sole act o
the Missouri Pacific railroad in refusing
to provide suitable connections to enabl,
plaintiff to connect its switch track will
the main track of the railroad. The statute
making it the duty of, the railroad to fur
niSh this connection provides Il specia
remedy in case of refusal or neglect on thu
part of the railroad, and / am OF the opin'
ion that this remedy is exclusive OF al
others. And rs this petition does not seel
to inforce this special remedy but entirely
different one the demurrer of railroad
company also must be sustained.
Besides the suit in which the decision
was rendered Tuesday the Rocky Brancl
Coal company has suits pending asking
for damages at the rate OF $500 a day TO
the alleged refusal of the Missouri railroad
to allow the switch to be made.

Henry Clews, whom the Duke of MARI
bOrO says Is the smartest man he ever met,
is intrenched in financial Gibraltar on
the ground floor, with able lieutenants in
the persons of James Blanchard Clews and
John Clews, his nephews. Henry Clews
came from Staffordshire, England. and it
is curious fact that he was originally
designed for the ministry. l asked him
this question: "To what one thing more
more than anything else do you attribute
your success in Wall street," And he
answered, ITO minding my own business
and to applying myself closely to it. l
work steadfastly with a set purpose all the
time, and that means success"
Emerson said that the secret of success
was concentration. The sage Of Concord
and the practical man Of Wall street are
here in agreement.
Mr.. Clews is q member of the Union
Club and the Union League. He lives in
one Of the uptown palaces Of New York,
and has a fine collection of pictures. He
is a man of very domestic habits and very
temperate. He does not smoke, and gives
it as a reason that his father did not smoke
before him, and that he has always fol-
lowed to advantage the good example of
his father. Furthermore, he does not re-
quire the weed, as he is full of natural
stimulant and does not feel the need of
anything artificial. James Richard Clews,
who at 30 years of age is one ofthe success
full young men Of Wall street. is member
of the Union League and of the Manhat-
tan Athletic Club. He used to reside in
Buffalo, where he boarded in the same
house with Grover Cleveland. John Ciews
is Brooklynite. and may be seen every
