Tammany has been holding a jubi- lee in recognition of the fact that the organization boiled 135,000 votes for the Chicago ticket. It was quite a feat. but it was excelled by the orga- nization for honest money, which beat Tammany in it's own citadel.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MONTICELLO. Ind, April 4.-The worst
fire this city has had in years broke out in
Peter Fox's stable. in the rear Of his saloon,
at 80 o'clock this morning. Before the
flames could be subdued part of a block Of
stables and business stores were destroyed.'
L G. GustavePs harness shop, with four
hundred sets Of harness, adjoining the Fox
building. was destroyed. Fireman John
Bennett fell out Of an upstairs window in
the Gustavel building while holding stream
OF water on the fire and was unconscious
for several hours. 1t is estimated that the
new water works plant paid for itself in the
amount OF property saved that seemed
doomed for a time. Several residences on
Bluff street caught fire from the falling
sparks. but were extinguished with little
loss. The main loss falls on Gustavel, and
amounts to $1,000 on building and stock.
other losses were: Nancy Hughes. stable
500; Capt. H. Snyder. stable, 500; Peter
Fox. stable, $50 j. A. Moore, 800; Henry

RATE CUTTING AT CHICAGO.
Eastern Roads Openly Shading the
Grain Tariff Sheet.

CHICAGO, April 4-The Western roads
seem to be the only ones that up to date
have shown any fear of the Brown decision,
or rather they are the only roads that seem
to be making a strong effort to abide by it.
The Eastern roads are cutting rates as badly
on grain to-day as they did before the de-
cision was made, and as deeply they would
cut them had the Joint Traffic Association,
the chief aim of which is to prevent cutting
of rates, never existed. The rates to the
East from Chicago are being cut from
to cents right along, and they have been
cut to this extent for the last two months
Whatever efforts the Joint Traffic Association
have made for the maintenance of these
rates has been utterly without result, and it
is not at all likely that 1t will be able to en-
force strict maintenance of the association
agreement until after the season of naviga-
ton has fairly opened and the first rush of
the grain movement is over. Then, too, the
dispute over the elevator contracts of some
of the roads in the association have not been
settled, and the chances are very bright for
the continuance of the Generalization for at
least three weeks, by which time the grain
fleet will have sailed, and the bulk of the
traffic for the time being will have been dis
posed of. The removal of temptation to cut
rates seems, at the present tine to be about
the only thing that will bring about the OBJ
Servation of the agreed tariff.

family because they thought young Foote

deed and accepted his promise to go to

new record for himself A few hours later
