THE CHICAGO AND ALTON SOLD.
President Blackstone Confirms an
Interesting Report.

Chicago. March 1T B. Blackstone.
President of the Chicago and Alton Rail
way Company, has confirmed the report
that the road was sold. From Second Vice
President Clark, of the United States Trust
Company. ne received a dispatch saying
that a majority of stock was already de-
posted subject to the offer of the syndi-
cate and more was pledged. THAT is Of
fetal" said Mr.. Blackstone. land may be
taken as settling The matter beyond dis
pute. Nothing now remains for me to do
but to step down and out. They have got
the property and will have no use for me
here. l have not sold my own stock. and
do not suppose they are bothering much
about il, now that they have secured a
majority. They do not need it very badly,
at least not just yet
Notwithstanding Mr.. Blackstone's state
ment that the syndicate which has secured
the road will have no further use for him.
no new stocks or bonds can be issued with
out his consent so long as he holds his
present amount OF stock in the company
Under the Atoms charter, which is an ex-
ceptional one three quarters vote of the
entire stock is required before any financial
operations can be put into effect AS Mr..
Blackstone owns considerably over one
fourth of the present issue. most of his
holdings being preferred stock an adverse
vote from him can block any scheme which
the syndicate may have in contemplation.

BAD DEBT COLLECTORS.
4 Fight TO BE Made Agninst Certain
Ones in Canada.

Montreal. March Am action which will
doubtless lead to bitter and protracted
legal fight was commenced today in the
police court when warrants were sworn
out for the arrest of the members OF R. G.
Dun & Co, mercantile agents. AS the out
come OF a long conference between Magis-
trate Lafontaine and Mr.. L. H. Archam-
bault on the Queens Cyndic, of the Mon
| treal bar and Mr.. J. c. Walsh, of the same
body. in the police court yesterday, plan
was organized to prosecute all firms and
collectors in Montreal who were usurping
the profession Of advocates. Papers were
made out for the arrest OF Robert G. Dun
Arthur J. King. Robert ID. Douglas all of
the United States. and 4. C.. Matthews, the
firms manager in this city, carrying on the
business known under the name of r. G.
Dun & CO., on a charge OF Illegally collect
ing accounts. Action in this particular
instance was not all, for 1t was intimated
that more warrants would speedily follow
against other collectors not certified mem
bers OF the legal profession who use let
ters demanding payment of debt under
fear of an action in court. This is the
first step of the kind ever taken by the
Montreal bar. Another grievance which the
bar complains of is that the firm has adopted
on fits circulars the name Of the Law
and Collection Department" which they
claim is also Illegal The Dun company
will contest the action to the end.

STOP THEM.
The Way to XIII the Microscopic
Pests That Make Fever.

Unlike some communicable diseases. ty-
phoid fever is not in the air. You do
not take the germs into your lungs. You
take them into your stomach when you
drink tainted milk or water. Where drain
age is insufficient and where the water
supply is contaminated typhoid fever
breaks out
Treatment consists in killing the germs.
so that they cannot multiply in the system.
sound stimulant stops theNspread of the
microbes. OF course it must itself be free
from impurity. Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key meets all the requirements of the case,
and is therefore prescribed to patients who
have been exposed to typhoid fever. A
tablespoonful in glass of water before
each meal will be beneficial in more ways
than one. It will tone the system and the
glands in the stomach so that the gastric
juices will flow freely upon the food. thus
making digestion complete and prompt.
Many substitutes for Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey are offered. Don't be coaxed into
buying one Insist on the genuine Duffy's
and remember that all alert druggists End
grocers keep it. The Government says
that this is the only medicinal whiskey in
the country. Hence it bears the proprieta-
ry revenue stamp.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know it.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so de-
ceptive. Many sudden deaths are caused
by it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart
failure or apopiexy are often the result of
kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al
lowed to advance the kidney poison in the
blood is liable to attack the vital organs,
or the kidneys themselves break down an l
waste away cell by cell. Then the rich
ness of the blood-the albumen-ieaks out
and the sufferer has Bright's Disease, the
worst form of kidney trouble. Kidney
trouble can be detected although it be
the urine; second, by the simple test of
setting the urine aside in a glass or bst-
tie for twenty-four hours. when cloudy
or brick-dust settling indicates it.
1t was for just such troubles that in h S
infinite power and goodness the Great
Physician caused Swamp Root to grow for
the benefit of suffering mankind leaving
it for DR.. Kilmer. the great kidney and
bladder specialist to discover it and make
it known to the world. Its wonderful ELL
cacy in promptly curing the most distress
ing cases is truly marvellous.

MR.. ALIENS LAST SPEECH.
The Nebrasknn Says Farewell to the
United States Senate.


Senator Allen of Nebraska delivered his
farewell speech in the Senate yesterday
morning His remarks were addressed TO
the Vest resolution against colonization.
He gave a general resume of his senatorial
career and said it was with mingled feel
ings of pleasure and regret that he went
back to private life.
Mr.. Allen pointed out what he thought
had been the great mistakes of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties. of the for
mer he declared that their financial legis-
Iation under Grover Cleveland was fatal,
as was also their tariff legislation.
Mr. Allen said he considered the Repub-
Iican policy toward the Philippines the
worst mistake that party had made since
its existence There was clearly an at
tempt on the part of the President and his
chief supporters to deny to the Fiiipinos
the right of self-government. Our own
theory of government was that people
should be free and he contended that we
are now trying TO deprive the Filipinos
of their liberty
Mr.. Allen stated that during the first
two or three years of his term he was
constantly called upon to defend MS own
party from the attacks of the opposition.

and he had a chance to devote his time
to other matters.
Referring to the many changes Mr.. AL
len said that since he became member
of the body there had been fifty changes
in its personnel-caused by death. expira-
ticn of term. resignation, etc. All this
happened in six years.
Commenting upon the spread of intel
Iigence in the United States, he declared
that there was not a State in the Union
that could not furnish ninety men-the
number of Senators-the equal in ability
with the ninety who form the body from
which he is about 10 retire. He consid-
cred this no reflection on the Senate,
but rather a compliment.
1t will be remembered that during the
first year OF Senator Aliens service in
the Senate he broke all records at speech
making. He consumed the greater part of
six consecutive legislative days in dis
cussing the financial question. 1t sur
passed in time of delivery few hours the
speech of the late Senator John \. Logan
on the Fitz John Porter case.

BOSTON g. ALBANY LEASE.

In Bradstreets review of Saturday is
the following relative to the Boston &
Albany lease:
Until the meeting. of the Boston h
Albany stockholders IL held, and the
proposition to lease that road to the
New York Central is either accepted or
rejected 1t will be difficult to saw what
the outcome of the matter is likely 10
be. At the time the proposition was
submitted it was understood that the
New York Central interest and the
other capitalists identified with them
in this particular transaction command
ed the control of a majority interest in
the stock of the Boston & ALBANY
Judging from newspaper reports, how
ever, there is 3 possibility that the plan
already submitted may be defeated al
though nothing but denials have fol-
lowed various reports that new propo-
stions involving an increase in the
amount of the rental were to be offered
the stockholders of the line which it is
proposed to lease to the Nanderbilts
Other suggestions that other systems
are ready to step in and offer a larger
amount in the form of guaranteed divi-
dends do not seem to rest upon a secure
foundation, and it may also be noted
that renewed reports of a deal involv-
ing fine acquisition of the New York,
New Haven e. Hartford by the Penn
sylVania railroad as an offset to the
NV York Central intrusion into New
England territory fail to receive any
confirmation whatever from sources
where knowledge of such transaction
might be expected.

a BIG DEL.
A Wall Street Trust Co. viii Hereafter
Cash Its Out-ot-town Checks.

= wall street trust 20. Will Hereafter
Cash Its Out-ot-town Checks.
New York, Sept. S.-One of the big
Wall street trust companies has defied
the clearing house association and re-
nounced that organization system of
fixing charges for collecting checks
drawn on out-of- town banks.
The scheme of the bankers to get ST.
100000 each year out of New York bust
ness men has been attacked, and the
whole plan of fixing charges on outside
checks is threatened with collapse.
Wednesday the produce exchange
trust company, a concern with s., 600 900
capital and surplus and an office in the
Standard Oil Company's building. 26
Broadway, gave formal notice that. its
clearing house privileges had been re-
linquished, and that in future it would
cash all its checks over its own coun-
ter. The notice excited everybody in
the financial district, but it was denied
at the trust company's Office that the
action was significant.
Some members of the clearing house
said yesterday they thought the action
of the produce exchange trust company
would have no effect on the action of
the clearing house association in re-
spect to the collection of country
checks' but there are not a few bank
ers who hold contrary opinion, and
believe that if one institution can collect
country checks at par free of charge,
the other banks will be compelled to do
the same thing.
Since the check collection rules went
into effect, last spring, they have been
bone of contention, and some of the
other financial centres, notably Chicago.
have proftted at the expense of New
York. A good deal of discomfort has
been manifest, and it is quite likely
that local fight will be on for some
time in this city and it may be that a
revolution in the check collection sys-
tenn in this city will be brought ahont
