with that of his chief. Thomas he was
on a sick bed at his home in New York.
His attorneys waived all rights for him,
confident of q verdict IN his behalf
However, they had not reckoned on a
jury on which there were five small
shippers who had never received
cent of rebate in their lives.
and who had all their lives been
compelled to pay top rates. The effect
upon this jury, the balance of which
were farmers, when wholesalers admit
ted receiving $4,000 a year rebates, was
disastrous. All subsequent juries have
been rural, and all Of them have con-
victed the defendants.
The trial of the Burlington yesterday
for paying rebates to Armour, Swift,
Norris and Cudahy, all packers. was I'M
eventful. It was a revision of the cases
tried last week. in which the packers
named had been charged with receiving
the Identical same rebates. o. NJ.
Spencer, for the Burlington, admitted
that his road had charged but % cents
when the published tariff on provisions
from the Mississippi river to New York
was 50 cents. but, he said, the published
tariff involving the contract with the
packers provided for shipments via
Kankakee, H., whereas the provisions
shipped at the 23-cent rate had gone via
East St. Louis.

SOUTHERN ROAD SCORED.
South Carolina Commission Says It's
Condition Is Bad

A remarkable document has been is
sued recently by the railroad commits
sion of South Carolina in the form of a
report on the physical condition of the
Southern railroad.
President Spencer of the railroad is
bordering over this report and it is
hardly to be presumed his thoughts are
the pleasantest considering the scoring
which his road has received at the
hands of the commission
The report states that on a majority
of the lines of this road in the state Of
South Carolina the rails are so light
and the cross ties 50 decayed that the
roadbed is in no condition to stand the
heavy rolling stock used, and this con-
dition more than anything else is re-
sponsible for the congestion of traffic
and the failure of the trains to make
schedule time.
The commission pays its respects
also to the management of the railroad
in the matter of the reported shutting
down of its shops to half time. 1t de-
c1ares that instead of shutting down,
the shops of the company should be
run to their full capacity.

BURLINGTON FOUND GUILTY.
Convicted on Four Counts of Giving
Rebates to Packers.

Kansas City. No, June IA jury in
the United States court yesterday after
noon found the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad guilty on four counts
of having paid rebates to the Armour
Packing company, Swift & Co. the
Cudahy Packing company and Nelson,
Morris & Co. The day previously an
other jury in the same court had return
ed verdiets of guilty against four pack
ers to whom the rebates had been paid
for which the Burlington was convicted
yesterday.
The conclusion of this Burlington case
closed the governments raid on the
shippers and railroads here, District
Attorney Van Nalkenburg having Sc
cured the conviction of four packers, all
he had assailed, with the single excep-
ton of George H. Crosby. general traffic
manager of the Burlington railroad.
The judge had cleared the skirts of Mr..
Crosby in charge to the jury, it being
shown that Mr.. Crosby was not an ex-
ecutive at the time certain alleged
illegal contract was made
Friday. June p, at 10 o'clock. Judge
Mcpherson will impose sentences, max
ing an announcement to this effect
from the bench yesterday afternoon. In
the instance of the packers and the
Burlington, the punishment may be a
fine between 81, 900 and 10000 In the
instance of Freight Brokers Thomas
and Taggart it may be fines of from
s. 600 to $4,000, and. in addition up ia
two years imprisonment. Taggart oc-
cupies the curious position of having
been tried and convicted without having
faced his peers At the time his case
was called. being tried eencurrently

FOREMAN KILLS MEXICAN.
Attacked With Knives and Rocks He
Uses Gun With Eject

Daggett. Cal, June AR. Y. VIII
liams, a section foreman. for the Salt
Lake road al Alton, a short distance
north of this place. killed one Mexican
and probably fatally injured two 9TH
ers a few days ago. The three Mex
leans had been sent out from Los An
geles to go to work, and arrived at At
ton early in the morning, and made
application to Section Foreman Will
liams for work. Williams stated that
he could hire two of them, but that the
third would have to go on to another
station. They stated that they were
partners and must work together, and
that if all could not go to work none
of them would, and they demanded
passes. Mr.. Williams stated that he
could not give them passes, as they
had not worked for the road and he
had no authority to do SO. They then
stated that he would have TO do SO.
Mr.. Williams went into the section
house, knowing that the Mexicans were
about to make trouble for him, and
when he returned to the door and
stepped out, having procured a gun in
the meantime. two of the Mexicans
were standing with knives drawn. and
one threw a large rock, knocking him
down for a moment and stunning him.
When he revived he saw a Mexican
near his feet approaching him with
drawn knife. He fired, but the man
continued TO advance, and he fired
again and the Mexican fell on his
hands and kness and was found dead by
the coroner, with the knife still in his
hand. The other two Mexicans were
now approaching. and he fired and
dropped the one nearest and the other
started to run. when Williams also
fired at him. and he ran around the
building and threw his knife away and
crawled into some brush about forty
feet away. The two telegraph ope-
rators employed there by the Salt Lake
road heard the shots and were eye wit
nesses to the fight. Williams was ex-
onerated, as it was purely case of
| se1f-defense. The wounded Mexicans
were taken to the county hospital.

FoREIGN ROADS FAULTY.
Colonel Hatch Says Their Reckoning
Feature Is PoIiteness of Employees.

Col Samuel G. Hatch, general pas
senger agent OF the Illinois Central
railroad, Is not an admirer of Euro
pean railways. He has just returned
from a brief sojourn abroad and con-
cedes but one point of goodness to the
foreign roadside courtesy of en-
ployes. Mr. Hatch has this to say:
THE railways of Great Britain and
continental Europe are well managed,
have good roadbeds. make fast time.
and there is a general air of courtesy
on the part of all employees. but the
rates. the vital point, are much higher
than the charges on American roads.
Particularly is this true of sleeping
car fares. I paid IS for one nights
ride; that is. it was called a night.
from II p. m to a. m. The first
class passenger fares are also IN
usually high from an American stand
ard. The system of handling baggage
does not improve. Every pound of
baggage not carried by q passenger
is charged for. In consequence every
body over there is carrying a load of
baggage, and I presume it is this Gus
tom that causes so many foreigne rs
travelling in the United States to carry
so much baggage-just to keep their
hands on it and to save charges. One
does not fully appreciate the con
veniences of American railroads until
one has used those of Europe
