for the new members to meet officially
with the present stockholders and de-
wise plans for putting this scheme into

at least $4,000 cars. watch would be

clearing yard with its quota for other
railroads and return with its own In
stead of the interminable switching
now necessary. In this way many Of
the cars can be diverted instead of be-
ing brought into the heart of down
town Chicago.
| The Chicago clearing yards comprise
approximately 100 miles of track. built
on the gravity switching system. with
electrically controlled switches and all
appurtenances necessary for sorting
and breaking UP trains 1t is planned
for the railroads to use this property
in exchanging their cars in substan-
tally the same way the banks of
the city exchange their checks through
the Chicago clearing house

tract purchased through yesterday
transactions may be gained from the
fact that there is room for 600 or 700
miles of track. as much six times

Plan of Late HI. H. Porter.
The clearing yard scheme was con-
ceived by the late H. H. Porter. who
from the sos was intimately connected
with the railroad development of Chi
cago and the northwest While the
working out of his plans was delayed
until after his DEATH the plan that is
lnow to be carried out was forseen by
him many years ago.
4 The carrying through of the project
1T Is believed will also have a great
bearing on the development of the
southwestern section of the city. as
Clearing will become the great freight
center of the Chicago district.
President Frederic A. Delano of the
Wabash railway. who has been one OF
the chief suporterseof the plan, saw in
its elimination the means of making a
cleaner. less noisy Chicago. He also
saw in 1T step toward the realizati ion
of the city plan. which contemplates
the construction OF an outer belt, with
a clearing yard connection.
Mr.. Delano also foresaw a consider
able reduction in the amount OF
switching that would be necessary fol

1t is estimated the clearing yard will
relieve Chicago of 1900 cars, or three
fourths of the number which now
passes daily through the city.

Whiting, Ind, Aug. 10.-Fire at the
Heyden and Place grocery at Fisch-
rup and New York avenue. yesterday.
was the occasio for more than tne
usual amount OF excitement owing 10
one of the fire horses also becoming
likewise affected. When the call came
in the firemen had just completed the
cleaning C the floor of the fire station
which vas still wet. One of the
horses which are usually perfectly
calm on these occasions. became balky
and when Fireman William Schmid
started putting on the harness on the
horse he made a dash for liberty an
fe.l on the slippery floor. He got up in
an instant and dashed outside with the
harness dangling on him.
AS there was no time to lose the
firemen together with crowd of
the scene of the conhagration on
Fischrupp avenue, which was fortu-
nately only block away.
When the scene was reached the fire
was found to be in the store room In
the rear of the Heyden and Place
grocery. Volumes of smoke were pour
ing out and there was danger of the
fire spreading to the nearby buildings
! Robertsdale was also called into serv-
Ice and they assisted the local depart
ment.
l. The origin of the fire is unknown, as
there was only small blaze in the
store In the storehouse at the fire
started. The store house was com.
! pletely destroyed, entailing a loss OF
about $500.
/ The firemen thought continually o.
their runaway horse and were much
surprised to find 1T safely in the stall
upon their return it having beer
caught by Charles Spansburg.
/ The escapade of the horse is quite
coincidence since the present team o
horses and fire truck are about to b.
! disposed of and auto fire truck in
stalled in their place. Many remarke,
last night that it loked as though tn
horse was acting stubborn over hi
imminent discharge.
