Riding in a Cathedral.

What? Just so. A cathedral is usually
a church, but really 1t only means "the
place of the CHAIR" and that can as we'll
be applied to the elegant and comforta-
BILE reclining chair cars run on the
morning and evening passenger trains
of the Burlington out of the Twin
Cities. No extra charge is made to pas
sengers occupying seats in these cars.
ASK about them at 1854 East Third street,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The annual

OHIO RIVER RATES,
The Battle Between the, Roads
Still RACES.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-As yet there has
been no change for the better in the
passenger rate situation between Chica-
go and Southern points. The Pennsyl-
vania still refuses to agree to the basis
proposed by the other roads for the
establishment of peace, and the rate cut
ting goes on. The Chicago IL Eastern
Illinois has made rate OF $3.50 to Nash
Vile. which is 50cents below the cut re-
Gently made by the Monon. The latter
road may now be expected to announce
a further reduction. To add to the
gravity of the situation the war is
spreading into other territories, and un-
less speedily checked must soon become
ten-fold more serious than it is at pres
ent. The Missouri Pacific, having ap-
piled for relief, has been authorized to
apply the reduced rates between Kan
sas City and the points affected in Ohio
river territory. The rates are now avail
able as basing rates through ali the
Western gateways.

dead body of Mrs. Clara Hosm er was

from lack of food. He is scarcely able

New York.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-In Wall street to-
day the coal situation attracted attention
chiefly because of the movement in the Read
ing securities. This is attributed to squeeze
oil the shorts. and, while the new rumors of
a change in the status of the combination,
one that Jersey Central will become the lessee
OF both the Reading ana Lehigh Valley, meets
with but few believers and the interest dis
played in the stock market centers entirely in
Reading, the activity and strength in that
stock was powerless either to stimulate trad
ing in the rest of the list or to impart more
than firm temper to the trading.
The threatening aspect OF Trunk line
affairs, Notwithstanding the withdrawal of
an obnoxious rate by the Nickel Plate, and
even less encouraging prospects farther west
III the railroad world, acted as deterrent in
the stock market and until more promis-
ing state of affairs is developed it will be
hardly possible for a movement confined to
one group of stocks to favorably affect the
rest of the market.
The temper of the traders was favorable
to rally. and London was to limited eX-
tent buyer in Louisville 4 Nashville at the
lowest prices, but the withdrawal of outside
support TO the speculation was clearly
marked, and the dizziness was not relieved.
The opening was made at only slight changes
from last evenings prices, but was
tame, and the pressure upon Louis
vile and Burlington was continued
with some effect. but there was no pressure
to sell in any other portion of the market
and while both lost large fractions, later in
the day they were lifted materially, yielding
to the firm temper displayed by everything
else in the list. The Jewish holiday contrib
uted in great measure to the dullness in the
general list, but there is no reason to sup
pose that the absentees had not seen that
their interests would be protected, and, with
the growth of the bull sentiment III the
board, there was gratifying Increase in the
amount of business done among the leading
shares. Prices moved up steadily almost
throughout the day. Among the stocks
strength late in the day were New England.
Northern Pacific preferred and Distilers,
and all scored substantial improvements to-
ward the close. The market closed active

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
University OF Tennesnee.

KNOXVILLE, May 12.-The trustees OF
the University oHTennessee met today
in semi-annual session. The most i'm
portant business was the election OF
twelve new trustees from different con-
gressional districts. The charter limits
the membership to thirty. The board
elects new members to fill vacancies
subject to the confirmation of the GEN.
eral Assembly of the next session.
Under the law of 1879 members chosen
must be taken, one at least. from each
district, until all are represented.
There are only fifteen members with
the Governor, Secretary of State and
Superintendent of Schools, eighteen,
and all the fifteen from the second dis
trict. Hence all new members are
taken from the other nine districts.
The following were unanimously elected
subject to confirmation by the General
Assembly: First district, Hugh Kyle
Rogersyille: third, j. B. Frazier and
Xenophen Wheeler, Chattanooga;
fourth, Dismukes, Gallatin; fifth, w. b.
Lamb, Fayetteville; sixth, w. Fl. jack
son, Nashville; seventh, Campbell
Brown, Springhill, and Zebulon w.
Ewing, Pulaski; eighth, James D. Por-
ter, Paris; ninth, Frank P. Bond,
Brownsville; tenth, M. B. Trezevant
and J. C. w. Allison, Memphis. All
except two or three are heard from and
accept. Collectively it is a broad, rep
resentative body of men. 1t removes
the last element of sectionalism from
the organization and places the uni
versity on hrmer basis than ever.
Henry 81. Ingersoll, elected last year to
fill the unexpired term of Judge Free

MEMPHIS, May 13.-William Dicker-
son, living near Lexington, convicted in
the United States Court at jackson OF
making and selling whisky without
license, has been sentenced to six
months in the Shelby County Jail. The
prisoner was brought down from jack
son by Deputy Marshal ]. M. Compton,
and assigned the quarters to which he
had been sentenced.
Dickerson was arrested late in Octo-
Der. The still which he Is charged with
operating is the largest moonshine out
fit ever captured in the State of Tennes-
see, and was constructed at cost OF
several hundred dollars.
Dickerson claims that he is unjustly
accused. This still was not on his land,
but near it, and had the brush been
cleared away, would possibly have been
in sight, but as it was, the officers ran
on top of it before they knew of it. His
conviction was based on two facts. One
was the finding of empty barrels in a
wood lot belonging to Dickerson near a
path that led down to a spring. The
other evidence against him the prisoner
says, was by malicious person and the
real owner of the antirevenue concern.
This individual, Dickerson claims, was
a bad man and had wanted to locate the
still on Dickerson's land and when re-
fused became very angry. He did not
complain on him for fear he would
wreak vengeance by fire.
