found in a perfectly>healthy condition at

an absolute fast. To-day he completed his

Jan. 6. Gardner was known among his Few

gan fasting before anybody knew anything
of his doing When seen last night he
seemed bright and chatted freely about his
physical condition. refusing TO state what
his motive. When the ordeal began he
weighed 121 pounds. and has fallen thirty
two pounds. He sleeps about twelve hours
every day. and drinks nothing but warm
and cold water. Although somewhat
emaciated. he walks about freely. spends
his day sitting in chair or lying on a

LIVELY WAR BREWING
THAT MAY RESULT IN CHEAP RAIL-
WAY RATES TO THE WEST.
Cumberland Gap Dispatch, n Fast
Freight Line, SIashes the Regular
Tariff-Other Troubles.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-The Cumberland
Gap Dispatch a fast freight line which
operates from Baltimore over the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company to Norfolk, and
from that point to the West over the Nor
folk & Western Railway Company, stirred
up local railroad circles to-day by announc-
ing a cut of about 80 per cent. in the class
rate on freight shipped to this city from
Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis The
reduction will go into effect Monday, the
three days notice required by the inter-
state-commerce law having been filed to-
day with the commissioner al Washington.
The fast freight lines that operate over the
Baltimore & Ohio, the Pennsylvania and
the Chesapeake & Ohio have not as yet de-
cided what action they will take, but ii is
understood they will ask the Joint Traffic
Association, of which they are members,
for authority to meet the reduction. and a
lively rate war>wil thus begin between the
strongest trunk lines i'm the country.
The Norfolk & Western is not a member
of the Joint Traffic Association. and conse-
quently is free to act independent of that
organization. The trouble has been brew
ing for a long time and is due to the at
tempt of the Joint Traffic Association to
force the Norfolk & Western to join the
organization and abide by its rules and reg
uations. Why the Norfolk & Western has
persistently refused to join is question
with the other roads, and recent discovery
that the association lines were cutting
freight rates made the Norfolk & Western
more determined than ever to maintain the
stand it had taken. The Norfolk & West
ern claims that ii has made every conces-
sion possible in order TO avert the conflict
which ii has been forced, il is averred, TO
precipitate. The fight promises TO be long
and bitter one, and may ultimately involve
all the leading railroads with seaboard con-
nections. and extend throughout the East
and Southwest. though the cut announced
by the Norfolk * Western today applies
from Baltimore 20 the points named The
Norfolk * Western was until few months
ago operated by receivers. but the property
has recently been reorganized.

SOUTHERN RATES CUT.
The Illinois Central Making Trouble
for Other Western Roads

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The meeting of the
Western Freight Association which is to be
held in this city next week will be one OF
the most important meetings ever held by
that organization, and its very existence
may depend on the outcome of the proceed
ings. The principal matter that will come
up for discussion is the right of the Illinois
Central to cut rates south of the Ohio river
The road claims that this traffic is entirely
exempt from the association agree
ment. and that 1t is at lib
erty to reduce rates or elevate
them at its pleasure. The chief cause of
the generalization in freight rates that
the Western roads have for some time been
struggling against has been the reduced
rates that have been made via the Southern
ports. and the recent cuts in the grain
rates between Chicago and New York were
the outcome OF the low rates 10 the South
The Illinois Central will not recede from
the position that IL has the right TO make
such rates as IL chooses in this part of its
territory. and IL IL is Refused permission
to make the rates IL will in all probability

out and make fight against the associa-
ton lines il will probably result in a war
on grain rates that will will mean the prac-
