rested there Sunday on the charge Of
committing the robbery at The Dillon,
Hancher & Company jewelry store, In
this city, several weeks ago. He was
expected to have returned to the city
last evening, but the delay Of trains on
the Ohio River road, on account Of a
burned bridge. held him over until this
morning. ii
From Captain Mthan. Of thu Ohio

the thief was captured while Off his
guard. else there would have been DIES
perates resistance offered. as the fellow
was armed with two revolvsrs. 1T
seems that the fellow, whose name Is
Henry Mills, was known to be coming
( down the river on a boat, but the Point
Pleasant police had learned that he was
armed to the teeth. and were not over
anxious to tackle the stranger. How
ever, he landed at the Point, and went
Z to restaurant for dinner.
The officers were shadowing their
man, and came to the conclusion that
they would rush at him while he was
eating. This plan they put through
with great success. Mills beiny taken
entirely by surprise. AS the officers
grasped him by the arms and shoul-
ders he made an effort to get out one OF
his guns, one being in each hip pocket,
but without success, and he sobn sub
sided, seeing that resistance was use

Mills went down the river in john
boat, painted blue, and claims he
bought the boat here for 81. An In

Officer Blckerton. OF the Island, report
ed that a john-hoat painted stone color
was stolen about the time OF the Dill

D.
The announced plans of President
Hill OF the Great Northern will proba-
bly, precipitate one OF the hottest and
longest freiSht-rate wars ever known
in the history OF railroadlng. He Is
carefully making his plans. and says
that as soon rs his two gigantic steam
ships are completed and In the trans
Pacific. service, he will establish. a
through freight rate OF not more than
IS n ton from Buffalo and other points
on the great lakes to Yokohama, Maya
saki, Hong-Kong, Shanghai. and other
places on the coasts OF Japan and CHI
ma, and that this rate may be cut to 81,
half In either case to so TO the railroad
end OF the business. and the other half
to the steamship lines.
No statement has been made In years
that Is considered SO seriously by the
officials Of other railroads as this. for
II carried into effect 1t Will probably
mean that many of them Will be forced
to stop the handling of through
freight. 1t is even said that such low
charges would give the Great Northern
practical monopoly of all freight
bound from the east to trans-Pacliic
ports. unless the Canadian Pacific and
Northern Pacific, which cover practical
ly the same territory. and both OF which
have oriental steamship lines, should
meet the rate. In any event, 1t Is not
seen how the railroads to the south
could compete, as they have much
longer haus. and none Of them, with
the eSpection OF the Santa Fe (Which.
however. does not reach the iron dis.
ts!cts OF the great lakes and contiguous
territory. has through route OF Its
own to the localities That furnish most
of the commodities that are used by the
MongolIans.

That New Pittsburgh Line.

Referring to a recent exclusive In
telligencer publication the Pittsburgh
Post says: The latest rumor from the
Wheeling district ssto the effect that
the Pennsylvania company Is contem-
plating the:use Of. the Terminal bridge
so as to divert traffic to the Cleveland
& Pittsburgh river division with con-
nection for the Panhandle short line
at Mingo Junction. II this is done, the
Pittsburgh Wheeling & Kentucky will
lose much Of Its business and the stock
holders who have been receiving large
dividends may suffer. The Pennsylva-
MIA company owns the river division OF
the Cleveland Sc Pittsburgh. ana could
handle all the Wheeling business over
this line via the Terminal bridge. From
Mingo 10 Pittsburgh the traffic OF the
two river lines could be handled over
the direct Panhandle line. which Is
about &c miles shorter than the line via
Wellsville and East Liverpool.
