Judge Ramsay, ut Morrison yester-
day, overruled the motion for a new
trial of A. L. Thompson in his suit
for $25, 900 damages against the Bur
lington road. The case was tried in Jan
ualy, but the jury found for the defend
ant company. Then Thompson asked
a new trial, the arguments on which
were heard yesterday, f. ID. Sweeney,
of this city, appearing for the railroad
company. Thompson wanted dam
ages because he was elected from a
train, which he boarded without first
buying Il ticket, refusing to pay the
additional 10 cents required in such
cases. He was ordered off the train,
and when he failed TO Vamose peace
ably, he was helped by the crew.

Rock Island is to be on the route of
4 great transcontinental railway line,
according to reports in the eastern
press. The proposed Milwaukee
Southern is to be portion of the sys-
tenn, which will eventually be extend
ed to the Pacific coast. 1t IS to have

Liverpool, it is said, and will shorten
the distance between that city and the
western grain states 800 miles. The
following is from the New Y ork Times:
plans have been partially COM
pleted for new great trans continent
tai railway line, with a connecting
line of steamships to Liverpool, by
which the distance between that city
and the western grain states is to be
shortened 500 miles. The New Mil
waukee Southwestern is to be part of
this system, which, when completed,
will extend to the Pacific coast. James
Mcknight. who returned yesterday
from Milwaukee, in speaking of this
scheme, said:
The final proposition of the Mil
waukee Southern Railway company,
which is to be built from Milwaukee
| to Rock Island, will be submitted to
the county board Of supervisors ut
Milwaukee. The proposition will un-
questionably be accepted by large

from Milwaukee county of $500, 600 in
county bonds to aid in the construc-
ton of the road, for which the county
| is to receive noncImulatiVe pre-
ferred stock of the company. The
road will have 70-pound rails
and standard gauge, and the
! manner in which each part of
the road is TO be built is clearly
defined in the contract with the
county. This road will be operated
in connection with the Canada-Atlan-
tic and the Great Northern railway of
Canada. The line of the Canada-At-

as far as Ottawa. From there to

The famous "Brocken" scene in
Lewis MOrrison's Faust" to be pre-
scented at Harper's theatre tomorrow
night, is fascinating reproduction of
the orgies, supposed to have occurred
in the Hartz mountains on Walpurgis
night. Saint Walpurga, who went to
Germany with Boniface. has his adj
vent there chronicled in the calendar as
May hence the appellation of Walpur-
gis night. Superstition has assigned
that night as the time of the annual
meeting of the witches, when spells
were cast, auguries told and general
feast Of liendish revelries reigned.
The possibilities for wonderful scenic
and mechanical effects have been
cleverly grasped in this seasons big
production, giving this scene the
most elaborate and intricate setting it
has ever received. Nothing more
gruesome and creepy than this
Broken" can be imagined This

The days of the hurriedly thrown
together play, poorly acted and dc
plorably equipped as TO scenery and
accessories, have gone by. The thea
tire going public now demands perfec-
ton in every part and detail of a per-

accomplished in the play known as
The Air Ship" which is by J. NJ.
Gates, and which will be produced
at Harper's theatre n&t Sunday even
ing under the direction of the Marx IL
Reich company. This comedy in
cludes some of the best known special
ty artists, who give the latest high
class novelties. Aside from this the
comedy is well written, having an in
teresting plot which is carried through
the entire three acts. The humor is
said to be clean and bright and there
are many funny scenes and situations
As well as brilliant effects. 1t comes
