INTERESTING DECISION.
Santa Fe Wins an Important Case in
the District Court.

Judge Hazen yesterday decided the suit
of the Jordan Stock Food company
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road in
favor of the road. The suit was for dam
ages. due to the alleged disobedience of
instructions concerning the shipping of
certain goods.
THE case is important said General
Attorney. A A. Hurd today. because it
settles this point that goods in transit
must be stopped by legal process, and ii
not so stopped that damages can not be
recovered
The Jordan Stock Food company of Ne
braska had an agent here sono time ago
who shipped a consignment q the pro-
duct of his factory TO a customer in an
other state The shipment was refused
and the agent ordered the consignment
reshipped to Topeka He then shipped the
same consignment to another place; pay
ing the freight in advance. But before
the shipment left town an official of the
company came to the Santa Fe freight
agent and notified him that the agent of
the food company had been discharged.
He asked that the shipment of goods be
delivered to him. The Santa F'e road re-
fused to deliver the shipment, claiming
that it was virtual. in transit The
Santa Fe offered to hold, and did hold,
the shipment for two days to give the
food company a chance to stop the ship
ment by legal process. This the company
did not do. The goods went forward to
deStina ton and the food company at once
sued the company. The decision of Judge
Hazen was, as stated in favor of the
company.

Proposed Line to Connect North and
South America.

Mexico City, Nov. 26.-The report of
ex-senator Henry c. Davis to the Pan
American railway committee of the in
ternational American conference will be
submitted to the session of the confer
ence on Wednesday next. Mr.. DAVIS
suggested that subcommittee be ap-
pointed to study his report, but his
colleagues would not hear of anything
of the sort and adopted his report I'M
animously.
In dwelling on the expediency of con-
structing an international railroad, Mr.
Davis mentions the fact that some of
the South American delegates, in order
to reach Mexico for the present Pan
American conference had to make the
journey via Europe or New York A
letter mailed in the United States for
some South American Republics goes
first to Europe and thence to its desti-
nation
Mr.. Davis estimates the mileage IT
the intercontinental railroad to be CON
structed at 5000 in order TO link exist
ing systems, and calculates the cost al
$780, GOO. or at the rate of $4,000 per
mile.

Warren G. Purdy, president of the road
has signed lease of the second, fourth
and fifth floors of the Grand Central
passenger station Fifth avenue and
Harrison street, to be used for this pur
pose As the station is to be used by
the passenger trains of the Rock Island;
Lake Shore and Nickel Plate roads, the
Rock Island general offices will be in
close touch with their trains.
The execution of this lease will neces-
state the closing of the Grand General
Passenger Station hotel, which has been
in operation in the building since
Worlds fair days. 1t will be closed
presumably December l. The Rock Is
lands lease will become effective Janu-
airy l. and the interval between the
closing of the hotel and the occupation
of the premises will be utilized in al
tering the apartments so as to make
them most convenient for Rock Island
office purposes. The Lake Shore has
not yet announced where its general
offices will be during the rebuilding OF
the depot. but it is generally under
stood that the Open Board of Trade
building on LaSalle street has been Sc
cured by that road for the purpose.

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
Switchmen on Pittsburg Roads Go
Out For Bigger Pay.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 26.-The switch
men on seven railroads of Pittsburg
struck at o'clock this morning. At a
meeting of the Brotherhood of Switch
men last night which was attended by
about 600 members, this action was de-
cided upon, and the result of this move
ment can only be conjectured. The
Pennsylvania railroad has secured sixty
police officers to be on hand in the union
station yards, and in the Baltimore &
Ohio yards fully 100 Pinkerton men are
on duty.
The claim made at the switchmen's
meeting was that from 700 to 1000 will
obey the strike order.
The demand of the men is that the
Chicago rate be paid here. This rate
is q cents an hour for day conductors
and 20 cents for night conductors of
switch engines; helpers rs cents day and
27 cents night. The Pittsburg rate at
present is 20 cents for day and 26 cents
for night conductors; 10 cents day and
20 cents night for helpers.
Grand Master Hawley of the Switch
mems union is expected here tomorrow
to conduct the strike.

Cornelius vanderbilt's New Invention

New York, Nov 26.-Cornelius Van
derbilt, who has set a pace that rail-
road inventors have found hard to fol-
low, has just obtained patent for an
improved type of locomotive tender.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's latest invention to
receive the sanction of the government,
through the patent office, consists of a
cylindrical water tank and, superposed
on the end next the locomotive, a coal
box of new design. The old-fashioned
square box construction, heavy, clumsy
and unscientific, is done away with.
The tender runs on two ordinary coach
trucks of four wheels each On the
platform rests a cylinder resembling the
tank on an oil car. This carries water,
about 5000 or 1000 gallons.
