will increase the Atlantic and Pacific

pie. The report leaves the business or

The Southern Pacific has appealed
from the ruling OF Chairman Caldwell
OF the Western Passenger association.
which declares that signature tickets
must be sold only by the regular ticket
agents of the roads issuing them, who
must themselves be witnesses TO the
signatures. The Southern Pacific com
strued the rules Of the association to
provide that ouch tickets may be sold
by sub-agents who also represent other
companies. Complaint was made that
this practice opened the door OF man
ipulations by scalpers and the chair
mans ruling was intended TO put a
stop to this possibility. The Southern
Pacific claims that the practice Of
selling through sub-agents has been
in force for many years and that there
Is no irregularity in 1t.

MILWAUKEE MATTERS
Crushed Beneath Lnns

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug II. 1896
Joseph Turney of Philadelphia, who
was stealing a ride, lost his life in a
wreck on the rth-Western railway
near Juneau park. Turney and a COM
panion named Thomas Holland of VIII
lOwspring. ILL.,, were on their way to
Chicago Sunday morning, having been
at work on Il new railroad near the
500" At the time of the accident both
men were standing at the end of flat
car loaded with logs. Holland jumped
off toward the right and escaped with
bruised knee. Turney, who. it is be-
lieved, remained on the car q short time
after Holland jumped, must have alight-
ed on the opposite side, and just as lie
landed on the ground the heavy stakes
holding the logs in position gave way
and the timber rolled over. crushing him
to death.
When Holland recovered he waited IN
til daylight before searching for his
companion. Failing to find any trace of
him, he began to search about the wreck,
and there found the body of his friend.
The remains were taken to the morgue
and Holland was held as a witness at
the cOrOner'S inquest this morning.
Only two cars were derailed and these
were not damaged much beyond the
broken truck The wrecking crew soon
cleared the track. Turney was 50 years
old and unmarried He had a brother
living in Dakota.

Before the war Mr.. Harris, who is now
about 40 years of age, lived with MS

been lost on land She left the boat near
Cairo, and as time went on she grad
ually worked her way northward, until

daughters died, but she and the remain

They bought themselves a home here

He began TO write music and several
of his compositions were accepted for

not to be too sure. She wrote immedi-

the letters reached Mr.. Harris. He
could not believe it. for he thought his
