TUE HIGH JOINTS, ial trunk-line manngers and Commissioner pak have ovidently becamo alarmed that tho defection and discontented feeling among Western roads might. result in the disruption of the enst-bound pvoling arringement, or olso they srould not have deeded to hold tho next mpoting of the High Joints in this eity. The managers of the roads have Just beon notified by Commissioner Fink that the High Joints will * Sheethero on tho 2uth of this month, ‘This do- cision on the partof the trunk Hnes has taken the Western managers by’ surprise, as ft indl- catesa disposition on the pirt of tho Eastern magnates toboless arbitrury than they/hnve peen heretofore, The regular place of meeting of tho "Eligh Joints" is New York, and tho niles provide that tho Cominissloner shall act and vote for any rond not represented, This worked well enough as long as tho amajority of tho Western managers went to Now Wink to attend to these meotings, and Commissioner Flnk hued Ay nue foRn fuw Fone ately, however, the ern men have pa weatsgtisted with tho Way in wiiieh the ¥ were Conducting things, aud, there- fore, have refiteed to gu to New York once covery month to attend to the High Joint meet- fog, Conecquently thoso mectings were only attended by the Eastern managers, and Coin missioner Bink wotd net tuke the responstbil- ity to net for ull the Western nes, especially as most of them refused to give hit nee justruc- tions. Matters have become so much compll- ented of late on necount of the sharp practices ff somo of tho Southwestern roads, and the re- fusnlof tho trunk lines to reduce enst-bound rates to help tho Western roads at this potnt in getting room for tholr business, that tho trunk lines have “nnilly become con- vinced that something fs necessury ta bo done toprevent their favorite pooling arrangement from golng to pieces, As the Western miunagers refused to go to them at, New York, they hud to make the concession of coming to Chieugo. A great efort will no doubt be mado on the partof tho trunk lines to prevent the pool from being abrogated, and for this reason they will no doubt offer wtncessions to the Chicdzo ines. One concession will no doubt bo the reduction jn cast-bound freight rates, ‘This concession 18 essentially neccssery to the welfure of tho West ern roads at this point.as thelr business vin Chi- cago has nearly come toa standstill, owing to the grain blockude at this point.

Besides these substantial evidences of prosperity, the Club ts ontof debt and bas an actual surplus of nearly $4,000, THE PURCHASE PROSECT entno up tn this way: A committee appointed ta consider the question of 1 permanent locas tlon reported In fuyor of purchasing the prop- erty at the corner of Dearborn avenue and Delaware place, 34 feet, for 812,00. Inasmuch, however, 13 the purchase of a new and unim- proved lot would require an additional invest- nent of nt lenst $60,000 In the erection and fire nishingof a club-house, It wis the general aenti= ment uf the ineeting that the Club should, if Posalble, retaly its present Tugution and the ex- celtent facilities atforded by its present bunds some club-house, Tho Committeo's report wis. accepted, and tho whole minutter made the spes celal order for guother special meeting to be held Saturday eventing, Feb. 23, On leurning of the above action. a Trius reporter yesterday sot about making some ine air to tho exact oundition of the Omten property.—on which, as. he already knuw, Mortgage had been foreciosed last fall,—In order: to determine what the Club would have to do in order to purchaso and obtain possession, He wag fortunnte hough to find a gentlemen who, besides beluga member of the Ciub, was Cully Poster iu regard to the subject upon which ins formution wus especially desirable. It ecoms that avine two yenrs ago, MN, MAHLON 1. OGDEN, who was aomewhat embarrassed In his Husiness matters, conveyed tho purtloulie block, alone with alt bis other property, to Mr. James S. Nor- ton, to be held in trust for tho benefit of his creditors. This particular plece of property, at the tine of conveynneo to Mr. Norton us trus- tee, was subject to a morte held by the trustees of the Newberry estute for $75,000. As Utne went on the {nterest on the mortage ace cumulited, the triustec had no money In hand to pay it, and proceedings to forcelost the mort wage on the ground of default in the puyinent of interest wera duly instituted. “A de- cree, of forcelosure wes? obtained, and In November last the property was sold for the debt and the interest, amounting in all to about $0,000, Previous to the foreclosure proceedings, hawover, the Uulon Clit hid teased the property of the trustce, with the consent of the mortgagee, at an annul rental of 82.400, 4 clause In the leage providing that the Chibehould have six months’ notice in case the mortguece should desire to terminate it penne time. ‘The precise queation now being agitated by the Club, uccording to tho reporter's informant, is the PURCHASE OF THE EASTERN PORTION of the bivck, 200 feot deep, for the umount of the lncumbrance, and the surrender.of 100 fect on the Clark-street front for tho equity of redemp- tlon, the idea being that the Ciub—or n portion of its members nat lenat—do not want the whole Diock, belleving that tho enstern portion will serve the Clu’s purposes just as well 48 tho whole of It. The thne in which to redeem. tho property will not expire until wong in No- vember next. The mortagee will necessarily have to tako the money—the nmount of the ine cumbrince with (nterest—if {t 1a tendered with- in that thine.
