The Atchison road has given notice that,
beginning Wednesday next. it will reduce
one-way rates from Los Angeles east by
$3.50 The cut is openly made according to
the Atchison. because the other lines have
for some time been making it in connection
with the sale of tickets over the Texas
Pacific road. The cut has been diverting
business from the Atchison, and that road
has made up it's mind that it could not
stand such conditions for a longer time. The
action OF the Atchison has been a heavy
blow to the Western trunk line committee,

HIS SAMPLES WE'RE DELAYED.
III. Cohen Springs New Question OF
Law ON Judge Harvey.

LAW ON Judge Harvey.
II. Cohen, South Meridian-street dealer
in notions, is suing the Lake Erie & West
ern railroad in the Superior Court. He
demands $500 damages, alleging that he
was inconvenienced TO the extent of that
sum by the loss of his sample trunks. In
his complaint the plaintiff AYERS that he
purchased a ticket to Frankfort and had
his trunks checked to that point. The rail-
road company. he says, failed to put his
baggage off at Frankfort, and, being without
his samples, he was unable to make a
number of anticipated sales. Judge Harvey,
before whom the case was brought, finds
himself confronted by one or two perplex
ing law questions. The rule of law relating
to the loss of a passengers baggage only
allows the plaintiff to recover from the
company when the missing luggage in
cluded such articles of convenience as would
be necessary to the comfort of the loser;
that case of samples could not be con-
sidered as ordinary baggage and that the
passenger before he could recover on the
loss OF such articles must have informed
the company of the character of his proper
ty before taking passage. Cohen'S attorney
contends that when the plaintiff purchased
a ticket he was entitled to certain amount
of baggage, no matter of what character
and in failing to put the trunks Off at the
proper station the company was as grossly
negligent as il they had carried the owner
Of the trunks beyond the station where he
desired to alight.

MIR. stickney'. Gospel.

= president .Stickney. of the Chicago Great
Western railroad, has inaugurated series
OF meetings along the line of his road for
the purpose of advocating a more scientific
and thorough method of farming, He will
hold one or two meetings in all of the i'm
portant towns along the line which will
be addressed by himself and others who
have had practical experience in. special
crops, such potatoes. A meeting was
held at New Hampton, Ia, yesterday and
addressed by Mr. $. III. Hall, of Minneap-
oils. He claims that nearly one hundred
million bushels of potatoes are imported
every year and that by a rotation of crops
and the cultivation of potatoes to a great
extent this deficiency can be made up along
the line of the Great Western road Mr..
Stickney says he calls 1t his gospel of bet
ter farming of smaller farms and, that 1t
will be preached from one end OF the road
to the other. They are travelling in their
special car and making stops in all the
towns, addressing the farmers upon the
subject.

on THE QUESTION AGAIN TODAY.
Favorable Action ON the Negotin-

Slashed by the Atchfson Road.

Last evening General Attorney Hacker
dorm, of the Lake Erie e. Western, left for
Peoria to attend the fourth meeting of the
stockholders to vote on the question of
purchasing the Indianapolis, Decatur &c
Western. Yesterday. when questioned as
to the probability OF the deal being made,
he said he had no definite information. The
tenor of remarks of other officials of the
Lake Erie & Western and of the officials
Of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western
would lead to the belief that II the stock
holders voted favorably on the question it
would be a surprise, and that probably the
meeting of to-day would end as did the
three preceding ones. in no quorum being
present. In which case the deal is certainly
Off. as the owners of the L., ID. & w. en-
phatically say there will be no extension of
the limit OF the option. That the owners
of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western do
not expect the Lake Erie &. Western to take

sent to General Manager PIERCE, from New
York, yesterday. instructing him to COM

deal fall through the owners of the l., ID.

TO increasing the business OF the road by
extensions or traffic alliances. In the past
every Western connection has been willing
TO take any business the L., ID. 4 w. might

FRAKER'S EFFORT AT FRAUD.
Let It Be Supposed that He Was
Drowned In Order to Beat In
surance Companies.
HIS LIFE WAS VERY HEAVILY INSURED
After Supreme Court Decision Fa-
vorable to His Alleged Heirs, He is
Discovered Alive and Well at
Duluth, MINI.

Duluth, Sept. 2.-Dr. Geo. Fraker
of Topeka, Kas., supposed to have beer
drowned in the Missouri river two years
ago, was captured in the woods near town
yesterday.
Fraker's life was insured for $5S,O0t
and his heirs brought suit in the Kansas
courts to recover the amount.
The case went to the supreme court
and the insurance companies were de.
feated in the final decision which was re-
corded last month.
1t was always maintained by the com.
panies that Fraker was alive. Recently
it became known that Fraker was near
Tower, known under the alias of Smell
Attorney Robt. T. Harris ane Deputy
Sheriff Wilkinson, of Topeka, began a
search for him. Fraker was found in the
woods and captured in strategtic m an
ner.
He was brought to Duluth to-day and
will be taken to Topeka at once.
Fraker will go without requisition. He
has been living near Tower for six
months. He admitted his identity and
says he did not leave home on purpose to
defraud the companies, but he fell in the
Missouri river, swan across and got on
land.
The next day he read in the papers
that he had been drowned and concluded
to carry out the deception and allow his
heirs to collect the insurance.

A., T. & s. F. ESTIMATES.
Big Traffic Figures in Sight--Grain
Crops i'm Four Great states.

Topeka, Kas., Sept. 2.--Some idea of
the tremendous traffic which the western
railways will soon be struggling to han
die may be gained from the following
figures prepared by traffic official of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, showing
the estimated grain production of four of
the states reached by that road this year:
Kansas-Corn, 3OO,O0O,O00 bushels; wheat,
10000, 900 bushels; oats, 3O,000,00O bush
els. Missouri-Corn, 5o,00O,OOO bushels;
wheat, 15,5O0,000 bushels. Illinois-Corn,
25O,000,OO0 bushels; wheat, 15,3OO,OOO
bushels. Texas-Corn, 100,0OO,OOO bush.
els; wheat, 100000 bashels; cotton, $780,
600 bales.
According to this estimate the corn
crop of the four states will aggregate
9OO,OO0,0OO bushels, compared with $685.
100000 bushels in the year 1892, and sew
eral times greater than that of either last
year or its predecessor, in both of which
the crop was almost a failure. Wheat, on
the other hand, falls below the average,
the total being estimated at 45,8OO,00O,
against 137,OOO,OOO in 1892. The cotton
crop in Texas promises to be 10000 bales
larger than in 1892, although very much
less than last years crop, the difference
being put at $4,000.

INDIAN DEPRECIATION ACT.
An Agent of the Court of Claims
Speaks of the Claims Filed
Hereunder.
AMOUNT TO MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Texas Heads the List with New Mex
leo Good Second-Some of the
Claims Just, Some Exorbitant
and Some Fraudulent.

Chamberlin, S. D., Sept. 2.-R. F
Spearman, agent of the court of claims
who is visiting here, says that claims
amounting to $44,OOO,OOO have been filed
under the Indian depreciation act. Texas
heads the list with New Mexico good
second.
Some of these claims are just, some
ara exorbitant and some are fraudulent
A an example, two Mexican grandees, of
New Mexico, claimed to have lost $4,000
sheep, valued at 81 per head, and not only
made affdavits to that effect, but had fif-
teen or twenty of their employees do the
same. 1t seemed to be clear case of
loss, but the court objected to paying 81
per head for Mexican sheep.
Spearman was accordingly sent to New
Mexico by the court to compromise on
$3.50 per head, but the Mexicans declined
all overtures to arbitrate.
Spearman began an investigation,
which resulted in establishing the fact
that the Mexicans never owned more
than 1900 head of sheep at any one time,
and that few hundred head were actually
stolen by Navajo Indians but at differ
ent time and place than claimed.
An enterprising Bear Butte ranchman
has filed claim for the loss of 100 tons
of hay at 5000 ton, alleged to have been
destroyed by Indians in March, 1887. At
that time hay was selling in that region
for from $40 to $50 ton.

silver Prices.

New York, Sept. 2.--The strength of
silver continues and one large dealer
here says there is an almost un-
limited market around 67 for it. There
Is reappearance of orders for it which
seems to come from foreign governments,
apparently for minting purposes. The
coinage of silver by the different govern
ments of the world has been going on so
irregularly and the coming has been so
small that the buying from this source is
expected to be very large sooner or later.
