The record-union., 1899-11-14

It was at a recent gathering of an
electrical association in a small city
at which a weeks exhibit of various
electrical goods was made that New
York supply man unpacked his illumi-
mated sign in the presence of the agent
of the local electric light company.
How much for current to light the
sign for the week." said the supply
man.
Thirty dollars" answered the electric
light man.
ITO much. 1 only paid $50 for four
weeks in New York. Give you $50
Call it S25."
Not much; but, say, you put in a
meter and TIL pay your regular rates"
The electric light man could not let
this bluff" pass him, SO he agreed.
On the last day of the exhibition he
came around to where the sign was be
ing packed up and said: See here;
perhaps you feel that / was trying to
charge you too much for current for
that sign. I've got the meter bill, but
suppose you just pay US $40 and call
it square,
The supply man said he had agreed
to pay the meter bill, and that was
what he intended to pay-neither more
nor less. After some argument it was
produced. 1t amounted to % cents

EXCITING DAY AT VANCEBURG.

This was an exciting day at Vance

Word was passed through the county
and to-day about 1000 citizens focked
into Vanceburg and gathered around
the Courthouse when the election board
met at 10 a. m. News reached the
crowd that the Commissioners were
about to throw out the vote of another
precinct and there was an angry dem

when it was announced that The board
had reconsidered it's action by which
the vote of certain precincts had been
thrown out, and that the entire vote
of the county would be counted as cast.

FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION.
Complaint of St. Louis Business
Mems League,

ST. LOUIS, Nov 13.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission began the hear
ing to-day of the complaint of the st.
Louis Business Mems League against
Pacific Coast railroads and their con-
nectionS in the matter of discrimination
against St. Louis in the fixing of freight
rates.
Ex-Governor Joseph w. Fifer of Illi-
nois, who was recently appointed
member. is here, but has not been
sworn in.
All the defendant roads were repre-
sented by counsel, as were also a num-
Der of cities other than ST. Louis which
desired to join with her in the COM
plant of freight rate discrimination.
H. S. Christy and Hon. w. j. Cal
houn, a former member of the commits
sion, appeared as counsel for the Bust
ness Mems League.
Attorney E. S. Pillsbury read a
lengthy petition of intervention on be-
half of the Pacific Coast Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, who decid-
ed to join with the railroads in replying
TO the complaint. On behalf of the
plaintiffs contentious, petitions of in
tervention were filed by the Chicago
Merchants Association, the Merchants
and Manufacturers of Milwaukee, the
Jobbers' and Shippers of ST Paul and
Minneapolis, the Kansas Transportation
Bureau of Kansas City and the Com
mercial Club of St. Joseph, Mo.
After Attorney Christy had read the
complaint NJ. j. Landingham, Commits
sioner of the ST. Louis Traffic Bureau,
was placed on the stand as the first
witness for the plaintiff. His testimony
was largely technical. From existing
tariffs he showed how the Middle West
was being practically excluded from
Pacific Coast territory because of dis
elimination in rates. The points he
expected to show were that unreason-
able differences exist between carload
and less than carload rates and COM
modify rates, and that there were such
variations in the less than carload
rates on hardware and other articles
that St. Louis and middle and Western
jobbers could not ship such freight to
the Pacific Coast at a profit.
Mr.. Landingham's testimony con-
sumed most of the first session.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Land
ingham resumed his direct testimony.
/ NE Sdlu lie DtlltNeQ Tie ldIIL VI
1898, was adopted as the result of some
kind of an agreement between the rail-
roads interested and the jobbers of the
Pacific Coast, and cited testimony given
of a St. Paul meeting in support of this
belief. He did not know of his own
knowledge that such an agreement had
been made, but he had heard references
to a contract"
Attorney Herrin, for the Southern
Pacific, conducted the cross examina-
ton He could not shake Mr.. Landing
hams testimony, that in his opinion
something besides a mere question of
meeting rail and water competition had
entered in the framing of the present
tariff schedule.

bered. Master Frank GLENN and Geo.

dress, in which he expressed his graft
tude for the effective work of the CLUB
He spoke in high praise of the present
Board of School Directors, and assured
those present that he would do all in
his power to maintain its good work.
Charles Hill, the clubs baritone solo
ist sang He Fought for the Cause He
Thought Was Right" which was well
received. Ben Lynn gave the audience
a specimen of his ability in clog dane
in. "Billy Barber the monologue CO.
median, made many witty remarks and
kept the audience in a roar of laughter.
Dick McCreadie pleased his hearers
with "Shake Hands and Bid Your
Honey Good-by," and for an encore
sang Honey. You're a Good Thing. =
Denny O'Brien. the tenor singer, sang
''She Was Happy Till She Met You, :"
and the melody, "Hello. Ma Baby"
Jack Giamali told one of his funny
stories.
Ex-senator Eugene Aram delivered a
stirring speech on the issues of past
campaigns and those of the future. He
said the old saying that 'in unity there
is strength. applied to politics about
as we'll as anything that he knew Of.
He commended the club on the work it
had accomplished and wished it success
in the future.
The clubs orchestra played a pa
triotic air, and the club adjourned amid
good cheer. Credit is due the commit
tee that had charge of the affair, which
proved to be the best ratification meet
ing ever held by the club.
