With his dairy of an avernge of fifty cows, he had mudo2i pounds por cow, and had sold the sumo for un average of 0 fraction lead than 21 cents, making an income of atritle ovor $0 per cow.

Jun. 1.—Theru fs 1 good tleal of exeltement here over the complications in regard to tho Northwestern Grand Trunk Hallway, which is now secking an entranes Into Chicngo. Tha road is made up of a congrega- tion of small patches with unsupplied gaps be- tweon, and ono of these gaps extends from this city to ‘Thornton, Cook County, Ill. Tho con- trict for this section was let last fall to Messrs, Hust & Coolldge, of Chicago, who have worked {pon {t for sumo month. Dioulties arose be- tween the contractors and the Company in re- gurl to payments for work done, It veing clined, on tho one hand, that the Rall way had ignored tho orlginal contract, and required the ling to be run over a different. nnd much more costly route, and.on the other hand, that the contractor had received mlvanees fully up to his claims. A crisis occurred on Saturday, whon the cone trnetors, why hud been refused paymont of their estimate for December, quit work, throwin several hundred bands out of employ. These ynen, 18 Also. the sub-contractors and supply mien, gat no pay, and naturally enough got mad about It. Tho usual recourse of American citl- zens in atteh crses int public meeting. and one was called for Monday evening. Another was hetd Inst night, Mayor Skinner presiding, and this morning a conimittes therefrom held a conference with representatives of the Grand ‘Trunk and tho contractors. Tho Intter elnimed that thoy could not pay because the road had re~ fused tholr estimates, while tho Grand ‘Trunk people held the contrictors blamalle for all. In Tho. result Mr. Stocker, Foprosenting Ituat & Coolidge, and Mr. F, A. Howe, General Agent of the Grand Trunk at Chicago, ugreed that an agreement abould be made whereby tho pay- rolls and supply-rolls ahould. bo’ guaranteed by the road to be pald within forty-elght hours ivfter the presentation of tho pay-rolls, Stocker declared that all his fir wanted was for tho Company to advance the cash, and Howe sald thoy would sce that right was done. A’question then nroso ns to the authority of Mr. Howe to spenk for the Grand Trunk people, the end of which was that ho nnd Stocker left for Chicago to obitain the sanction of Mr. ph Hickson, General Manager of the Grand ‘Trunt: Rullway, to the AueCeIneHy, A telegram just re- eoived from Mr. Stocker [s to tho eifect. thit Mr. Tiekson fintly refused to sign the agreement, and consequ tly, overything i4 again chuotle. On Saturdn, aot jaborers, sub-contractors, wad othors seized the road, and they propose to hold it until thoy get thelr pay. This they enn do under the mechanics’ Nen hiw of Indiana, ns thoy are advised by attorneys here, So far there hig been no trouble, but any attempt by the Grand ‘Trunk to take possession of the rond, or to push the work without previously satisfying tho claims of the workinen, will lend to a row, FAST-BOUND FREIGIITS, A meeting of representatives of tho ronda leading Enst from this city was held yesterday nt the office of R.C. Meldrum for tho purpose of taking Into considerntion charges that tho Grand Trunk had been cutting tho regulnr tariff rates. ‘Tho susplelon that thut road was doing #o had been aroused by the large” contracts for grain for export via Portland, lately secured by the National Dispatch Fast-Freight Lino, which runs over tho Michigan Central and Grand ‘Yrunk. Tho Michigan Central admits that the procurement of soimtuch business by thjs Hue, when othor lines can barely secure enough to keep thom going, looks rathor suspicloug, but it claims that, if a cut bas been mado, It must. ‘nyo been done by the Grand ‘Trunk, os that rond pays the Michigan Central its full: prorata, of the tariff rates, All the Eastern lines, with tho exception of the Grand Trimk, were repre sented at yesteniay’s meeting. The nbsonce of f representative from this road: wes construed tobon tacit rdinission that tho business hid been secured at less than tariff rntes. But none of those preeent wore ablo to prosent nny tangible proof that the rates bud ronily heen cut. "The ratiroads represented ngreed to repure statements showing tho amount of Fordien business done by tho various lincs, as theseiiigures might show somo interesting facts regarding the maintenunce of enst-bound rates: nae only. by tho Grand Trunk but also by some of tho othor ines, There was a Kind of an Impression among thoso present that tho Grand Trunk had taken these menns to show the Eastern pool lines what ft can do when it has its Hino open to this city, and in order to compel tho trunk lines to give it a falr percentage of tho cast-bound freight business from this city. Thero will no doubt bo vonsiderable trouble rerariing this matter, Tho Grand Trunk will no doubt do- mand a fair share of tho enst-bound busincss, and [f thia ls not granted It will make such rates as to give itn shure of tho tratilc. It will boing position to dicta rng 1s ards export business, a8 it will have a lino of. its own. from this city to Portland, where connection with tho stcamers is mule. None of tho five ronds now sharing the cast- bound buainess will bo willing to accept a re- duetion in percentnges, and consequently there fg no prospect of wn auileablo armingement. It does look decidedly ag if the pool lines from this city will make a fight against tho Grand Trunk before they will consent to give it any portion of tho huainess. The clxim is made that tho Michignn Central should give up a portion of its Uusiness to tho Grand Trunk, but that road ro- fuses todo goon the ground that it will con- tinue to connect with the Grand ‘Trunk at De- trolt the samo as heretofore.. If no amfcahlo arraugomont can be effected botweon now and the first of noxt month, whon tho Grand Trunk will be ready for business, it is most probablo that by that timo a reduction in east-bound frelght-rates will decided upon, and samo 8h; th rates on y nb 0 grain will bo reduced to about 20 to 2h cents per. +100 ponnds, a8 at this rato the Now York routes enn stlll make a profit, while. tho Grand Trunk would suffer a toss, Such a reduction i4 so much the moro rane, ns the enst-bound freluht movernent in spite of tho grain blockade nt this paint continues vory light, and auch a reduction. would stinulate bustuess and nlao help tho Weatorn Hacea, a8 thoreby tho clovators might be enubled to gof rit of sono of the Rrain now in store, It would niso force business of tho South- western lines, which will have to five It to tha Now York trunk lines, and provent it from com- ing here to go Kast vin tho Grand Trunk route.

Ayer, General Sollettor of the Ti nois Central Rallroad, was seen yesterday by a representative of Tre Tittnuxe regurding the ordinance Introduced in the Council by Ald, Bale lant Monday eventug about the construction of docks on the Lake Front Inside the Government breakwater, for the uceommodation of the lum- Der business, and the construction of viaducts across tho rallrond tracks by the Ifnols Central Katlroad at Randolph, Mndison, and Monroo streets. Mr, Ayer said that his Company know nothing of the introduction of such ordinance untilits pubtication fn the papers of ‘Tucaday inorning. He bad casitally’ looked over the r= alnanes and was notable te give un opinion uponit., He could not see, however, what right the city had to construct docks there, or how the Railroid Company could be ramnpelled ta build vinduets “over their tracks. His Company waa not in the viaduct business, but in the raiirowd business, As far ng he knew, the Innd up tothe water's odie bo- longed toh Company wun xiven thom on condition that. they fuilt a breakwater, which requirement thoy have complied with, [f any one is to diefld docks there it will, in his opinion, be the Kailrond Company. He adinitted that it would be to the benefit of his Company to. have the limber-docks there, and they would like nothing better than that the city’ should bulld them for the Company's tise, He hid an idea that the ordinance was {ntroduced to bring up Lako-Front question tgnin, He saw no uso ing to whip the Devil around tho stump. The best the elly could do would be to net upon the proposition of his Company to take the Lake Front between Handolph and Madison streets for $800,000, aud this enable the roads to erect a ereditable — passenger-depot there, ‘That amount oof money would como very handy to tho clty just now, and his Company’ would thon bulld docks for the aecom- inadation of lumber or any othor trflic at tho outside harbor, which would end all controver- ics about riparian rights, ete.

Complete Collapse of the Strike at the Btock-Yards. Union Leaders Begging for Work at Almost Any Price. Clamors for an Investigation of the Strik- era’ Treasury. ‘The troublo which vecurresd nt the Stock- Yards and on Sinisted street ‘Tuesday turns out to have been the flicker of the Unton flame immediately preceding Its final oxtinctlon, Perfect peaco prevailed through the same localltics yesterday, nnd, with an increased supply of bogs, which were. eagerly bought up by tho puckers.—-cach firm making a purchase,—the business aspect of the plico was akin to what It wass month ago. As will probably prove the case for aome thine yet, Jarge crowds of men gathered in front of tho packing-houses early in the morning and mundo application for work, Seme of them got what thoy were In seck of; the vast majority did not; yet all mado tholr departure quictly, and with- out any expression of ill-will towards thelr Into employers, who, while stil] somewhat “down on” tho officers of tho atrike, feel that the strikers in general were more sinned ugatnat than sinning, Among the men who presented themselves nt the Chleagv Packing Company's house for a job yesterday morning wos Mr. M. J. Downs, a Union orator, who never falied In his speeches to vent bis personal spleen upon one. particular. preker who. his eurned his dlalike by discharging him for cause. He was ready to work at anything and for almost any wages, but Mr. Barn told him to move on, wa while the packing-house stood ho could never get a job init. Bome of the lesser lights vere equally unfortunate, and there Is no doubt that the lenders inthe Inte tnsucecesful moves ment will find it very hard to yet anything to do us long as the packers remain In their present vowed letermined and uncompromising frame of mind. . The peace of the packer is disturbed now solely by the considerition of the puzzling problem of just how far the Union men, who are signing away their alleginnce to the body, mean what they nro doing. Thelr demeanor while working In the packing-house very frequently Rives rise to the suspicion that they signed tho articles of agreement WITHOUT ANY INTENTION of abiding by them,and several of them who have been confldentlully interviewed by the crs have acknowledged that their lenders have instructed t fost the articles, which, t hetd, Inusinuch as they are not sworn to, cannot be considered as binding. It looks, howe ever, as If thls probing of the innermost inten- tons of the returned Union mon would hardly prove profituble, and that the best aay to judge of their Sincerity would be to watch them at work, single ont those who in any way interfere with the non-Unionists, and discharge them nt once and forever. Several cnses of such inter> ference oceurred at Armour &Co,'s and Huteh- inson'e ing-houses yesterday. A favorit sport of the returned but implacable Union men ig to ecure it ply’s heart and pelt it atin obnoxious untl-Union man. Another pleasant. tieuus of passing the thme profitably which the Union men enjoy is for a couple or more of thei to indulge in gory conversations fur the apecinl benefit of the non-Unlon man who hap- pees. Ao be nearest at hund. No open threat is inde. but the inainuations as to the terrible. things they intend todo to the unfortunite arc. kept up incessantly, until, ns was several times z ray the terrified fell lost his ny 10 the oftice to give up work, ver, are up" to ull these ery cause where thoy are found rs “ure immediately tachurged, and thetr names added to the drended bluck-list. Tho object of the Union men who indulge in these practices is of course to muke places for tholr friends by frightening off thelr enemics, but os yet they have mot with very little suc- cess. ., The packers are dojng all thoy enn to provide the returning Union men with work. About 500 of them secured places in yarlous packing- houses yesterday, and in the course of 1 few days others will atso fnd employment. Their presence in the different houses has already pro= duced pmarked Improvement in the working of the varlous departments of ench, tho old-time Ughtning rush superseding the slow gait which the inoxperienced hands, despite nimple instruc: Hoe and threo weeks’ practice, could not shake a ‘THE RECEIPTS OY HOGS yesterday wero 31,000, the highest since tho Strike, and they were Bought up rapidly by the packers, who scem determined to make tho best ofthe present fuvoruble weather. Armour & Co, have now over 1,000 men at work, and if the recelpts of hogs warrant It thoy will inn few days start third killing bench, which will ne- cessitute the employment of Crom 400 to 600 more men, The othor houses will probably extend thelr operations in proportion to thelr ability, 80 that tho fuller employment of the locker-out butchers Is only a question of time and of the arrival of a lurzer nuinber of the porkers. Cnrscs of bulldozing were fow and far between, Aman named Dennis Gerrlck, noted as ono of the most desperate among tho Union men, man- aged to slip inta Armour & Co.'s cutting room ut o'clock yestertay morning unobserved by wny of the special police. When he got thoro hy took up a position agatost one of the pillars aud begun ubusing and threatening some non-Union men, who got very greatly frightened at tho terrible nature of ‘the things he intended to do. Officer Hurley, howevor, arrested the feltow and took Lim hefore Justice Thomas, who fined him £20 und costa, 1 sentence which, unless tho Union ‘Treasurer comos to the rescuc, means 100 days in tho Bridowell. Amun named Alfred Cresswell, a non-Union trimmer employed during the strike at Fowler Bros. house, left that placo at noon yesterday and was cnught at the deud-platform by a numbor of Union men, who assaulted him, He recognized two of tho partics and swore out warrants for tholr arrest. - A gung of Union mon attacked and beat a youns man named 'T. W. Haines, who wns dis- charged yeaterday morning from ono of the non Onion packiig houses. They cnnght lin ot tho cornor of Halsted ind Twenty-ffth streets, and: would have given him a bad pounding but for tho arrival uf the police, who arrested one of hig nasallants named Jumes McQuaid and locked him up in the Twelfth Street Station. It is tolerubly safe to assume that tho strike {5 over and that there will bo no further disturb- ances.of the peuco by the locked-out butchers, ‘The object. which is now beginning to occupy: thoirattention is tho discovery of tho digposi- tlon which the oflicers have made of the YUNDB O¥ THY ASSOCIATION, If there fs still a snug sium of monoy in the ‘Trensury thoy will want to know why the strike was not prolonged as long na it lasted; if, on theotber hand, the Union coffers nro empty, they will demand an exposition of tho manner in which tho money wns spent. It is being very epanly hinted that the wivea of some of tho ‘ion officors received very’ valuablo prosents in the way of jewelry, etc., on or about Christmas and Now Year's, and that thia alleged fnet bus had inuch to do with turning the nttention of the etrikors from their late enemies, the paok- ors, to their Inte friends, tho officers of tho Union, There muy be motbing i the rumors, but tho universal opinion of tho oxestrikers i6 that un investigation of the principal officers of tho Union will not do any harm. . Jolin Hlshory, tho Union packing-houso man who assantied Charles Kenny about a week NYO, appeared before Justice Mutson yesterday for trinl, He wus necompnuted by a crowd of rela. tives, all anxtows to testify to his root character and to cstablish an allbl for him on tho night in question, Mr, Storrn appeared for tha progocus on. und succecded in tearing the testimony for tho defense into bits, The evidence was ao cone clusive ngninst the young mun that Juatio Matson (ed bliin §10 and costs, Fluhorty’s oll mother was in court, and sho besyed pitcously for his relensa until tho flue was Imposed, when abe turned upon the Justice and gave him a ters rible tonguo-lashing, invoking tho curses of tho dunined upon him and his family, Sho wag finally removed to the ball by an ottloor, but sho knelt down by the dour and ropeated her tirade, Young Flaherty will probably go to the Bride- well, ag he has no monoy.
