They Average Higher Than Expected For
the Country West of Chicago.
CHICAGO. April 15.-The basis of
worlds fair rates from TranSmiSsouri
territory was agreed upon yesterday.
In that part of the territory from the
Missouri to and including Colorado
common points the basis will be 20 per
cent reduction from present rates. Or
$40 for the round trip. The present one
way trip is S3O.65. The vote was unan-
imous, with the exception of one line,
which voted in favor of q SIS round-trip
rate.
From Utah common points the rate
will be fare and third for the round
trip. The agreed worlds fair round
trip rate is SO. No round trip rates are
now quoted from either Colorado or
Utah common points. The Transmits
souri, lines will meet again to-day to
consider the establishment of one way
rates and special excursion rates.
The basis as agreed to averages high
er than expected, and will cause a
slightly higher round trip rate from
California. Lines interested in Pacific
coast business will meet Monday to es-
tablish worlds fair rates, and are al
most certain to decide on a 500 basis
for the round trip.

Haverhill. Mass. Jan. 1G.-A sensation
has been caused in Georgetown by tina
arrest of Frank Vining, n prominent
citizen and Sunday school superintcnd-
cnt, who, by his own confession, is a
forger. Over two years ago Vining came
to Georgetown with good references and
purchased half-intcrest in a business with
II: rold f. Blake for $4,000, paying
$1,000 down and giving notes as col
lateral for the balance. The notes borc
gilt-edged names, but Vining always op'
posed their negotiation ard finally con-
fessed that they were forged. He con-
fessed also to forging other notes, the
amount %aggrcgating some $1,000, of
which $500 was on the Georgetown
National bank, $1,000 on the Savings
bank, and Mr.. Blake the rest. These
were mostly settled by parties in
terested and he was given q
chance to reform. Within a few
months. however, other checks endorsed
by Vining, hearing the signature of D.
L. Outon Of this city, have been pre-
sented to and protestd by the George
town bank, Outon having no funds there
and these transactions led to Winnings
arrest. He is in Jail in default of $1,000
bail.

Grand Army Sensation.

Milton. Pa. Jan. IA batch of man.
uscripts belonging to the late cavalry Off
Ger. Gen. J.. Irwin Gregg, formerly of
Lewisburg, Pa, has been found and has
created a sensation among Grand Army
men. 1t includes a copy of the report of
the then Col. Gregg to Gen. Mcclellan,
when the latter commanded the territory
of the Potomac. Gregg was in
command of an outpost and sent word
to Mcclellan that Gen. Johnston was
advancing and would shortly attack Gen.
McClellan's flank. This Gen. Mcclellan
thought improbable, and paid no atten-
ton to it. Three days after Gregg sub
mitted his report, Mcclellan found out
to his sorrow that his subordinate officer
was correct. Johnston suddenly attacked
the Union forces on their flank and Nc
Clellan was forced to retreat. when the
celebrated seven days fighting on the
peninsula occurred. Mcclellan was re-
iicved, and Pope, who was placed in com.
mand. met Johnston ut Bull Run and
was fearfully routed. 1t is contended
that, had Gen. Mcclellan taken the ad-
vice of Gregg when the latter first re-
ported Johnston's contemplated move on
the flank of the Union forces. Richmond
could have been taken and the backbone
of the rebellion broken.

which is to be betrayed by contributions

Round the sacred edificc it is proposed

the proposal will be submitted 20 n COM
