Officers of Western Roads VIII At
tempt to Form an Association.

CHICAGO April 20.--The executive Off
GERS of the Western lines have at last con-
cluded to take a hand in regulating the pas
senger affairs of their roads. No meeting
has been called as yet, but for the last
three days Vice President Newman, of the
Chicago & Northwestern. has been hard
at work engineering. with the cooperation
of Chairman Caldwell, another movement
for the reorganization of the Western Pas
senger Association. 1t is conceded by all
lines that the present agreement is of small
account, and that stronger one Is need
ed. The lines have finally made up their
minds that an agreement which permits
any line to do as it pleases. il it only gives
an advance notice of its intention. is prac-
tically poweriess to maintain rates. The
plan on which Mr. Newman is now work
ing is to go back to the old idea of three
organiza tions--a transcontinental associa-
tion. a transmissouri association and a
third for the territory between Chicago and
the Missouri river. 1t is intended to have
the three associations work in harmony as
far as possible, and not take separate ac-
ton where joint interests are concerned
The Atchison Is the principal stickler for
one association. the majority OF the other
lines being against IL. The Atchison people.
however, will not stand in the way OF the
formation of the three associations il IL is
satisfied IL can be done.

at two hundred, was as fat as a prize pig
Time was called at 8:45. Burns started
on the defensive at the outset and through
out the first bout Lewis did nearly all the
work. The greater part of the time Burns
was on his hands and knees, with Lewis
trying to turn him.. Burns cleverly broke
a hammer lock, twisted out of a haIf-Nel-

with a hammer lock.
Both men started in easy for the Sec

four fifths for Burns, went wild with de-

Burns started on the aggressive in the
third but Lewis broke his holds as quickly
as he formed them. Lewis rushed Burns
several times to the ropes, and once had

the same thing with a. haif-Nelson. Lewis

averse to the petition the announcement
will be made through the clerk of the
court, and not from the bench. The gem
eral opinion of the attorneys who are most
familiar with the practice of the court is
that the motion will not be granted. They
base this belief on various grounds. In the
first place, it is understood that there is no
desire on the part of sitting members of
the court to bring Justice jackson to sit in
the case. and without his presence the case
could not be tried a second time at the pres
5ent session. To grant rehearing and post
pone It until next term would, they say,
leave the law in more unsatisfactory con-
dition than it now is, and would fail to ac-
complish any desirable result. Further
more, 1t is understood that the court has an
aversion to granting rehearings, and it has
in the past shown disposition to resent ef-
forts to secure them Still there have been
many cases in which such petitions have
been favorably acted on. notwithstanding
the prejudice against them, and there is
possibility of the courts overruling itself to
the extent of granting the motion.

Power Carriages.

Among the interesting developments
in the way of horseless vehicles is the
recent test in France, when a race was
arranged with a distance of seven
hundred and fifty miles. The car
riages were four-seated, and could be
driven by power of any sort. There
were sixty-six vehicles in the race,
propelled by electricity, steam power
or petroleum. The results were so
satisfactory that everybody was de.
lighted. The carriage that won the
prize of eight thousand dollars went
over the course, seven hundred and
fifty miles, in two days and fifty-three
minutes. So much enthusiasm has
this test created that factory has
been started in this country. 1t is lo-
