At the meeting OF the Central Traffic As
ISOLATION In Cleveland. yesterday, the first
report taken up was that of the committee
on tariffs. OF which President ingalls,, of
the Big Four. is chairman. A recommended
ton of this committee. which was unani-
mously approved. was that the rates of
grain, Chicago to New York, should be
made % cents per 100 and on provisions 30
cents. These rates become effective Nov.
Il. or about the close OF navigation, and
are an advance OF 5 cents from the present
rates, but the advance merely restores the
rates to their normal basis. The same
committee also reported In favor of the
formation OF a committee whose business
II should be TO look after the maintenance
of rates in Central Traffic Association ter
ritory. This matter was discussed gener-
ally. and while no action was taken, save
TO request the Trunk-line Association to
take similar action should this plan be car
ried out. the idea met with favor. A re-
association, who Is chairman Of the COM
mittee on passenger matters, was next
taken up. The report dealt chiefly with
dinerential rates, and the discussion was
the most interesting Of the session. Several
matters, such as the breaking up of the
Nickel : plate : L~ackawanna twenty seven

go. are In such shape as to neceSsitate an

The straw berry season is about over.
In spite of the denials at the time the
crop was considerably .curtaiied by
the heavy frosts in the early spring,
and was further damaged by the ex-
cessive amount of rain during the
shipping season, hut in spite of these
draw b acks the amount shipped sur
passed that of former years.
We clip the following from the
Cleveland, o., East End Signal, of
the 18th, which we received through
the courtesy of Mr.. II. A. Meyer:
VAN BUREN, Ark, town of four
thousand people, is the greatest straw
berry shipping point in the southwest.
and is in the center OF the fruit-grow-
ing belt of Arkansas, which made the
magnificent fruit display at the
worlds fair. The climate in this sec
ton is much like that of southern
California, the country being sheltered
on the west and north by mountains.
1t Is said that this Is the wealthiest
town of its size in the southwest.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Dr. Tai
mage's silver jubilee, which began
OH Thursday last with u series Of
fetes unequaled for their splendor,
reached thrilling climax at noon
to-day, when, after the famous
pastor had finished the morning
sermon and while he was yet sur.
rounded by kind friends, an cleo.
tric spark ignited the reeds OF
the organ in the Brooklyn Taber
nacle and started a confagration
which reduced the magnificent
structure to ashes and destroyed
a dozen adjoining buildings. Dir
Talmage barely escaped with his
life, and many members of the
congregation were removed from
the burning building in an un.
conscious condition overcome by
the heat.
Fortunately, however, although
property valued in all at between
81 100000 and $l,5OO,00O was de.
stroyed and 200 families were ren.
dered homeless, no lives were lost,
and as far as can be ascertained
nobody was seriously injured.

The Pond Greek Tnin Robbers Cap
tnred After a esperate Fight.

j Ell RENO, OK, May 12.-Te-dsy
witnessed another chapter in the
tragic history of Oklahoma. This
city was the exciting scene of the
capture of two of the outlaws con-
nected with the late attempted
Rock Island train robbery at Pond
Creek. The officer who was the
direct means of the capture was
Jake Harmon. the detective and
train guard, who shot and killed
one of the outlaws at the time the
robbery was attempted three
weeks ago. The bandits blew open
the express car with dynamite and
as one of their number was enter.
ing the car he was shot and in
stantly killed by Harmon, who was
aboard the train and guarding il
through the Cherokee Strip, the
rendezvous of the outlaws. The
bandits consisted offive desperate
men. Two were captured and two
escaped. Since that time Jake
Harmon and Detective Bedford
Wood of Wichita, Kas., have been
secretly searching the Territory
for the robbers at large.
A clew was obtained at Enid,
when they were followed to King
fisher, thence back to Enid and
finally to Ell Reno. The part trav-
eled through the country by pack
horses and without trail, and after
their arrest to-day it was learned
that they had a camp outfit and
10 head of horses outside the city.
The two bandits were seen in the
city yesterday, and the detectives
being here, posted the United
States Marshal's deputies, who
were on their guard to-day and
heavily armed.
The outlaws put their horses up
at wagon yard on the outskirts
of the city and walked about town
for a few hours and then returned
to their mounts to depart. At
this time the Deputy Marshals, led
by Madison followed and command.
ed the departing outlaws to halt.
they responde l with volley of
shots, when a fierce running fight
ensued, in which 12 shots were
exchanged. A horse was crippled
and Felix Young, one of the out
laws, was shot through the foot.
Young's horse was shot from be.
meath him. None of the officers
were shot. The other outlaw,
Nate Sylvia, surrendered without
much resistance.
After Young's horse was shot,
Young took refuge in house,
which was soon surrounded and
the man forced to yield. The two
men were taken to the City Prison.
amid wild excitement and threats
of lynching and were kept until
4 80, when the officers departed
with them for the United States
Jail at Guthrie. Young and Sylvia
are identified by number of old
time frOntiersmen, who have
known them for years, as dcsper-
ate characters. Both have terror
lied the Territory for the past 10
years, and have been connected
with the motor, GUS Dalton outlaws

A Crank's Letter on the Mission Of the
Coxey Cranks.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 12. =
Governor Fishback is of the opin-
ion that the Coxey movement may
yet result in sn attempt to assassin
ate President Cleveland on the
part of some of the silver cranks
Of the West. In support of his
opinion he produced the following
letter received by him to-day from
A. L. Drummond, manager of the
Drummond Detective Agency oi
New York:
"New York City, May 8, 1894
To His Excellency, the Governor;
Dear Sir In the interest of good
government enclose y0u sver.
batim' copy of a letter written by
one of Nebraskas' best citizens.
There is not a shadow of doubt
but that the truth is stated in
every word he writes. Isend you
this at the solicitation of my client,
who does not wish his name made
public, but wishes the executive
in each State through which these
people are passing to know the
condition of mind of the rank and
file that go to make up the various
COxey contingents. Cannot some
steps be taken by the State Off
GERS to force these people to dis
band as soon as they cross your
borders
"YOur Obedient servant,
"a. L. DRUMMOND.n
The letter referred to by Mr..
Drummond is as follows:
Ashland, Neb., May 3, 1894
Dear Sir: Pardon me for infring-
ing upon your valuable time, but
from All incident that has hap
pened 1 thought. as a precaution,
it might be well to make known
to you, and if you think necessary
you may convey to the President.
The Lincoln contingent of the
"Coxey army" under command of
"General" Duff, struck this town
yesterday afternoon and remained
until this morning. When ques-
toned closely they said their main
object IN going to Washington is
to 'remove President Cleveland
from the White House." This is
about the same language that
Guiteau used about "removing
Garfield" Now it may be possible
that is their idea and as a precau.
tion it would be well to be pre-
pared against all contingencies.
The strong arm arm of the Gov
ernment should put stop to this
ghost dance of these "POps" and
the sooner the better. Mr.. Cleye-
land of course is well protected,
but should be very careful. l
write this simply to put you on
your guard and if DufFs contin.
gent ever reaches Washington,
which l think doubtful, you may
look out for them, they are all
bent on mischief and they will
hatch it out.
