New York Herald Tells of a Gigantic
Railroad Pool Being Formed.
New DIRK. JAN 5.=The Herald SAYS:
The details are nearly completed for the
strongest pool that has ever been estab-
lished I'D this country. Its purpose is to
regulate and divide All Of the east bound
traffic between Chicago and New York,
Boston and al seaboard points that come
within the jurisdiction of the trunk line
association.
The important question Of port rates
must be settled concuTently with the
east-bound pool, and it is these matters
that are monopol zing three days ses-
sion of the traffic managers of all the
leading railroads between Chicago and
IT. Louis and the seaboard
They mean to establish regular pool
in the 1oldest sense of the word and
from tnis 1T may be inferred they either
consider the Interstate commerce act a
dead letter or that they are willing to
have a test case.

Shot Into a Cradle,

MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 20.-A shooting
scrape occurred last night which a
murder was narrowly averted. Ed.
Jones accused Lee Francis of stealing
a watch and some money from him
while he was asleep. The argument
that followed resulted in Jones striks
ing Francis, who pulled a revolver and
began firing. The first bullet pierced
Jones' left ear, nearly tearing it off and
his face was badly burned with pow

hip and passed through a cradle in
which a baby was asleep, but it was
not injured. Jones' good aim with his
fist knocked Francis down before ne
could fire again, and he then nearly
beat the life out of him,

The Chicago Authorities In Row With
a Telegraph Company.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The Postal Tel
egraph and Cable company has filed a
bill in the United States circuit court
for an injunction against city officers,
restraining them from cutting the
wires OF the company or interfering
with its business. The bill S that
the council directed the commissioner
ofpublic works not to issue permits to
the company for the laying of conduits
for wires until it has franchise for
the use of the streets. The company
cites an ordinance of 1882 granting the
right to construct cOnduits to the un
derground electric company. Tue
rights of this company are also secured
by the Bankers and Merchants Tele.

have been acquired by the Postal
company. The city's bill for $4,000
for repaving Clark street from the
river to Polk street in 1884, the bill
says, was compromised for 1857, not
because the company acknowledged
the justice of the claim, but because it
was necessary to secure permits. If
the wires are cut the company will
have no connection, it says, with the
main office at Jackson and Clark the

combined business amounts to 5000, 900
