The Union Pncific,s Troub1es.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The differences be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison roads, which came up yes
terday in the meeting of the western
lines. were today adjusted by a tenn
porary agreement. which will doubt
less be permanent The only trouble
between the lines was over the rates
via San Diego. which has been aired
at frequent intervals during the last
year. The troubles of the Union Pa
cific then had an innings, and its woes
came up for adjustment. The prirlci-
pal matter affecting the Union Pacific
at the present time, so far as the other
western roads are concerned. Is the
boycott against it on through bust
ness to the Pacific coast, which. has
been in effect for the last nine months.
The meeting declared that if the Union
Pacific would raise its rates from Og-
den and Denver to the tariff CT the
other lines there would be no further
trouble with the boycott. This trou-
BILE with the Union Pacific came about
because that line would not keep up
| its one-way rates from Denver and
| Ogden TO the tariff of other lines, The
troubles with the Union Pacific, how
ever, are not expected to cause much
difficulty compared with what the
lines have adjusted during the last
! fortnight.

rible murder was committed in the
northeast section of the city late this

Leahy. sending five bullets into her
body. When the deed was done and she
lay on the floor in a pool of blood, he
kicked and stamped upon his dying vie
tim. The noise of the shooting drew a
number of citizens to the scene, but the
murderer held them ait bay threatening
them with his still smoking revolver.
Congressman George D. Meikeljohn, of
Nebraska, who was on his way home
from the capitol, heard. the shots and
fastening to the scene, succeeded, I'M
aided, in capturing the murderer.
Bean is a. carpenter by trade, but of
late has been of absolute habits, and
for two months has not lived with his
wife, who became tired of supporting
him in idleness.
Congressman Meikeljohn wears q
Mason's charm and button, and when
he appeared on the scene Bean noticed
st. ''Are you a Mason?" he cried to the
congressman. Yes answered the lat
ter, approaching.
80 ann IT, shouted the murderer
and a Grand Army man. I have killed
woman and they are trying to kill
me. I want you to protect me-"
! While Beam was saying this, the con-
gresham slipped around behind him
and pinioned his arms. In 9, moment
he gained possession OF the weapons
and handed them over to the police
who took Bean to. the station. Mr.
Meikeljohn then quietly continued his
journey home. Tt is Thought that Bear
is insane. He does not appear to re,
greet his deed, which he says was ar
act of humanity nicely accomplished.

about O'Clock this afternoon by force
of the gale. No notice of the danger

Corean court. On December 4 he had q
second interview with the king from
which not only the queen but also the
