Freight Traffic Light.

The Improvement in freight business
looked for fails to materialiZe, there being
last week received and forwarded at his
point, but 1919 loaded cars, making it the
lightest business OF any week In the de-
pressed times with railways with one ex-
ception, it dropping below the numbers
handled at this point in the week ending
Feb. 10 by 500 loaded cars. below the cor
responding week OF 1895, 2,535, and the same
week In 1892 by 4,233 loaded cars. Doubtless
the bad weather a portion of last week
had something to do with the decrease as
compared with the preceding week. but
where comparisons are made with move
ment Of former years other causes come In
to account for the unsatisfactory compare
tive exhibits. Freight men Of large exper-
fence admit that business has never In the
history Of r%ailroading been so near a stand
still. and, what is the more Encouraging,
where, two or three weeks ago, there were
signs Of a revival OF business. manufacture
erS partially resuming operations, last week
there was a letting down again, orders not
having come In TO give the works the en-
couragement needed. and freight men aS
unanimous in the opinion that there Will
be no general Improvement in freight traf-
fc until manufacturers resume operations.
The tonnage last week on through business
I'm all directions was light, but little grain
going eastward for home markets or for
export. The shipments OF live stock, pro
visions and hay were heavier than in the
week preceding, but il is very seldom that
the movement of flour and cereal products
drops to so low a point as last week. West
bound business was much lighter than in
the week ending Feb. 10. but this is attrib-
uted largely to the bad weather East, as at
this season Of the year shipments Of high
class freightS are invariably heavy. The
light west-bOund movement of the lower
class freightS is evidence that in the East
there has been no marked revival with the
iron. glass and other industries. Local bus
mess shows but little improvement from
week TO week, and will not until the man
ufacturerS are more generally in operation,
and street improvements and building re-
sumeS it's old channel. But little building
material or material for street improve
ments is now being shipped in here, and
the coal and livestock traffic is lighter
than at any time in some months. Below

forwarded at this point for the week end

Editors Armed TO the Teeth.

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. I7.-Mr. Dun
can. OF the Lexington Press. which has
been, for some time, engaged in a wordy
war with the Transcript, came today 10
the office of the Transcript on a hostile err
rand. during the absence of Mr.. Baxter,
one Of the editors. and inquired for him.
A reporter attempted to leave the Trans
cript Office and was ordered back by editor
Duncan at the muzzle Of a revolver. The
reporter then tried 10 notify Mr.. Baxter by
teiephone. but was called off by Duncan's
revolver. Presently Baxter arrived, accom-
panied by a reporter, both armed with shot
guns. but Mr.. Duncan had gone. During
the dav Baxter and his companion met
Captain Allen, who commanded the militia
that fred from a steamer upon people at
Ashland. Ky, several years ago. Allen an
nouncod that he would stand by Duncan in
this feud. Tonight Baxter and his friends
take their shotguns with them whenever
they nave business on the street.

A Preacher Murdered.

OTTAWA, o., Feb. H.-One OF the most
atrociouS crimes ever committed in the
State of Ohio was perpetrated near this
but it was not found out until this morn
ing, when the butchered body of the vic
tim was discovered. For some time past
revival meetings nave been in progress at
Westermann, a small" town ten miles west
of here. The revival meetings have been
held under the direction Of Rev. Joshua c.
Briggs, a divine of State reputation, and he
has stirred up quite a feeling among the
better class of inhabitants, much to the
hatred of lawbreakers. Last Monday
night when the big storm ragged in this sec
ton there was not much of an attendance
at the meeting, and when 1t was over
Briggs was compelled to traverse the en-
tire distance by himself. When he was
some distance from the church he was way
laid and killed. His throat was cut from
ear to ear, the breast slashed and the heart
almost cut out. Briggs's watch and pock-
etbook were missing and everything Of val
ue on his person was gone.

The Case Against Mrs. Hart.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE case of
Mrs. Ernest Hart, of Philadelphia, who is
charged by the New York immigration off,
GERS with violating the alien contract labor
law in bringing four Irish weavers to work
in Mr.. Wanamaker's establishment in Phil
adelphia, is attracting the attention of the
treasury officials. The minutes. of the ex-
held by DR.. Sonner, immigration
commissioner Of New York, reached the
department this morning. Mrs. Hart also
came over from Philadelphia, and had sew
eral conferences with Superintendent Stump,
of the immigration Bureau, and Assistant
Secretary Hamlin during the day. super
intendent Stump went over the record sent
by DR.. Sonner very thoroughly. and after
hearing Mrs. Harris story he decided to
send the case to Commissioner Rogers, at
Philadelphia, for further examination and
report 1t will therefore be several days
before any final action is taken.

FIGHT In PROSPECT
Cut Rates to the Coast Now Little
Less Than a Certainty.
All Railroad Men Blue as Lizards at
the Failure of Freight Business
to Pick Up.

II is very evident that the Southern Pa
cific will enforce it's boycott on the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, strengthening the no
tice by a second one on Saturday, notifying
the Santa Fe that after March 1 conductors
On the Southern Pacific have been instruct
ed TO refuse 10 honor any tickets over the
Santa Fe lines reading via Los Angeles.
The cause OF the boycott has never been
officially declared by the Southern Pacific,
but the notice Of Saturday is looked upon
in railroad circles as the most sensational
development of the present transcontinental
war. The result of the boycott no one can
toresee. The Atchison will unquestionably
protect itself by reducing rates TO Los An
geles so that a traveller wishing to go to Los
Angeles can buy a ticket to that point and
then pay the local rates from Los Angeles
to San Francisco. When the Santa Fe does
this the Northern lines will meet the rate.
and there is no telling how low California
rates may go. The Santa Fe is in good
fighting trim, as II needs to earn only its
opers ling expenses and taxes. In the coming
struggle the differential fight OF the Cana
dian Pacific will become an Insignificant
affair.
