Wheeling as dumping ground for the

popularity, and the city authorities are
becoming heartily sick OF the practice.

TIE. RAILROADS..

The February meeting OF the Central
Passenger Association, which has been
called for next Wednesday. promises to
be unusually interesting. says the Chi
cago Record. One of the chief
subjects of discussion will be an applI-
cation from the Canadian Pacific for an
equalization of fares on transatlantic
traffic via Montreal. The Canadian
road, in effect, asks 10 be allowed to
make the same rates to European ports
via Montreal from all points on and
north of an imaginary line drawn be-
tween Detroit and St. Louis. as are
made by the American lines direct TO
Boston. This would put the Canadian
Pacific on an equality for transatlantic
business with American lines having
Boston ASA terminus. Some years ago
the Canadian road enjoyed similar
concession. but 1t was taken cut. there
being n strong feeling that the Cana
dian road was getting an unfair alvan-
tlgc over the American lines. The pres
ent application will probably be turned
down. some of the roads claiming that
under the present conditions of traffic
agreements they would have no right
to enter into the proposed arrange
mcnt.
The question Of the abuse OF live stock
passes issued through express compan-
les viii also be considered. No blame
attaches to the express companies IN
the matter, but the roads say there Is

in the mine when Ted Van Orlnan tried
to take shovel away from the defend
ant Van Orman threatened to the last
to break Chiado'S face when they got
out. After supper he approached the
defendant and invited him to come out
of the house. They went out, and both
of the Van OrmanS and one or two 9TH
ers jumped onto him. When he was let
up they told him to leave. as he could
not work in the mine any more. He
then went home and got another candle
stick. the one he brought from the mine
having been taken away from him dur
ing the fight. and went back to go on
shift. When the Van Ormans and Dan
Lane came into the tunnel shed they
Immediately started after him and
threatened to kill him. They then
seized him and dragged him to the door
He was again ordered to leave. and as
he started he was struck on the head
with something hard and a pistol was
fired at the same instant He wheeled
and saw Frank Van Orman with a re-
volver in his hand. The defendant
grabbed the gun and fired. He then
went down the hill, but was followed
by Ted Van Orman and another man,
who caught him and took the gun away
from him.
The defense. in its argument. called
especial attention to the fact that. al

that the gun was taken away from
