ing damaged was the independence oil mill
situated at the head of Pension street. 1t
was unroofed and building and contents dam
aged to the amount of $4,000 The con-
veyors of the new elevator of the Illinois
Central railroad were slightly damaged and
John Whitmeyer and John ]. Buck, en-
ployed at tha elevator, were lifted from the
ground, dashed against the elevator and
the latter was severely hurt. Hundreds Of
buildings in the track of the storm were
damaged, many being partially unroofed
and chlmneys Frustrated, trees uprooted and
fences blown down.
The storm-swept section OF the city Is In
darkness tonight, owing TO the prostration
of the electric light wires, and details Of

SETTLED THE EMrcRANr RATE WAR
Eastern and Western Lines Come to
an Agreement.

Agreement.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The immigrant
traffic problem which has been perplexing
the eastern and western lines for many
years has been settled during a two days
conference In this city between repre-
sentatives of the transatlantic steamship
companies and the trunk and western lines
The conclusion reached is that the middle
men or first ward agents, who have grown
rich in the booking of immigrants, must
go, and hereafter the railroad companies,
both east and west, will cooperate with the
steamship companies in the hauling of the
buSineHs.
The trunk lines have been dealing with the
first ward ageT;- for years, and have
been paying them a commission on the
business turned over AS a result of this
arrangement there has always been con-
siderable friction between the Southern
Pacific and western lines Repeated at
temptg have been made by western lines to
the Southern Pacific, which he'd the Sea-
clined all terms of peace unless all agents
were abolished and the business was
handled exclusively by the steamship COM
panIcs,
Under the new agreement the long stand
ing differences between the Southern Pacific
and western lines will be termined and
westbound immigrant traffic will be equally
divided among all the interested lines after
January l, next, Under the new arrange
ments the steamship companies will work
on the same basis of commissions as are
now allowed the middlemen, and will also
control prepaid orders.
