THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. Red flags are hung GLUCOSE. Further Details Concerning the Immense Chicago Man- ufactory. The Location and Size of the Works— Tapping the West Side Tunnel. . fae Tarsuxe mentioned the other day that another addition was to be made to the manu- facturing interests of Chicago in the shape of glucose works of immense capacity, for which ‘both home and New York parties were to fur nish the capital. The gentlemen connected with the enterprise were at that time unwilling to furnish much definit information about it, for they believed that publication would affect inju- riously pending negotiations for a site for the works. Now, however, a location having been secured, they readily open their mouths and im- part such details as are of interest to the com- munity. HE INCORPORATORS ofthe “ Chicago Sugar Refining Company,” asitis called, are F. O. Matthiessen, E. A. Matthiessen, and W. A. Weichers. The application to Spring- field for permissiun to incorporate under the ‘TWinois inw was made by Mr. George M. Pull- man, Marshall Field, and Henry C. Carver, and the capital stock of £650,000, divided into blocks of from $25,000 to $50,000, isheld by Marshall Field, George M. Pullman, L. Z. Leiter, C. H. Mc- Cormick, C. G. Hammond, Max Hjortsberg, and Henry C. Carver, of Chicago, and F. 0. Mat- theissen, and W. A. Weicher (President and Vice-President of one of the largest su, re- fineries in tho United States, located at Jersey City); E. A. Matthiessen, formerly a partner. of gust Jelmont; Thomas Minford, of Skeddy, }inford & Co.; Henry R.

PROPERTY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SOUTH BRANCH, bounded on the north By Taylor street, and west by the railroad tracks, having a frontage of 400 feet on the street, and extending along the dock 50 feet. The land is six or seven blocks from the water tunnel, with which the establishment will be connected by a pipe, permission having eon obtained from the city authorities to tap one of the vent-holes. It was only by this con- cession that the gentlemen were induced to locate the works in the cite since water is such an important factor in the manufacture ‘of glucose that it must be had at much less than the ordinary metre rates, as otherwise the cost would absorb the profits. The grants: tobe used daily runs into the millions of gallons, and, under the arrangement made, the establishment doing itsown pumping, the expense for water will be $25 ‘or £30 a day,if not more. The city will about Lege | up ie reduction by the taxes the property will yie : "Tae land, which is now occupied by 2 Jumber~ ied ‘will not be available until tho present lease expires,—May 1. PLANS FOR THE BUILDINGS are now being prepared by an architect, and as g00n as the Company obtains possession the erection of the structures will be commenced. ‘The main one will be of brick, 250x400, and eight stories high. There will be several others of Smaller Samensions se serage ae other pur ses. The cost, inclu ‘machinery, water- Pipe. etc., will be between. ‘$00,000 and $400,000. itis ted that from eight to ten months will be required to complete the buildings, and that the works will be in operation within a year. Most of the machinery will be gotten in Chi- cago, but some of it will have to be made in New York. Employment will be fur- nished to from 700 to 1,00 men, ull of whom, with the exception of 2 comparatively few ex- perts, will be engaged here. THE CAPACITY OF THE WORKS wili_ be 15,000 bushels of corn a day, and the product will be glucose, ree. sugar, starch, and sirup, from 500 to bushels of the first mentioned; and the machinery will be so ar- rangod that the procnetion can be confined to one thing,—all starch, all sugar, etc., according to the demand. There will be run In and outof the establishment every day 100 car-loads of stuff,—corn, coal, and other mate- rial. Mr. E. A. Matthiessen will be the superintend- entof the refinery,and Mr. Carver will have charge of the down-town office, the business management being in the hands of the Chicago stockholders. There ure now nine glucose manufactories in the country, the largest one being at Butfulo. They cannot begin to supply the market. The proposed hicago wor) will head the jist as to capacit and com- pleteness, and, it ex ted, will. is , LS with the othera, be able to meet the demands of the country for these products for the next three or five yeats. But the business is understood to be so profitable that other capitalists will un- doubtedly embark in it. Indeed, at Teast one other establishment is now talked of, and two- thirds of the capital stock of $100,000 has been subscribed for. LOCAL POLITICS. Ward-Meetings Last Night. : ‘The Thirteenth Ward Republican Club held a meeting yesterday evening at No. 664 West In- diana street, Mr. W. A. Phelps in the chair.

SEVENTEENTH. ‘The Democrats of the Seventeenth Ward held last evening in Svea Hall, corner of Larrabee street and Chicago avenue, what they were pleased to term a “ unity meet .” This unity consisted in the unanimity with which cach man ent furnished fuel fora hotehindy. Three ours Were devoted toa“ unity’ quarrel over the permunent officers. and the ‘unity ” with waicn all nationalities other than the controlling element were crowded out spoke volumes for the “unity” of the meeting. The proceed- ings were interrupted time and by a war of tongues. between a tow- headed youth named McCormick, a red- whiskered and hot-blooded individual named Swenie.and a blue-shirted Greenbacker whose name wns not learned. Pete Hunsbrough took a hand in the row, but was summarily squelched. ‘The mecting was about to break up when a hatchet-faced old person near the door settled matters by proposing names in bot succession until the following ticket was elected: _Presi- dent, James Lyman; Secretary, Daniel Kilroy; Vice-Presidents, Peter Connor and Morris Clif- ford: Treasurer, Thomas Barrett: Sergeant-at- Arms, Henry O'Hara.

It was 9 o'clock ‘before the delegates were called to order by 7. J. Morgan. Several names were suggested as Chairman, allof whom declined, but A. R. Parsons was finally chosen, and accepted the po- sition. Frank Bielfeldt was elected Vice-Presi- dent and August Spies Secretary. A gentleman named Healey made a long speech in favor of the Eight-Hour law. He claimed to be a dele- gate from the Eight-Hour League of this city, and wanted the assistance of the Socialists to help them in ameliorating the rights of the work- ingmen by the enforcement of thelaw. The ote of the League was read by Morgan. it was a lengthy document, and contianed noth- ing but what is usually found in such papers. At the close Mr. Healey advocated the adoption of tne platform, but nothing was done on the subject. Ald. Stauber, Altpeter, Meier, and Lorenz were invited to seats on the platform, in ac- cordance with a motion made in the main section, to give an account of what they did in the Council the, past year. ‘The several Aldermen excused themselves from any detailed remarks. Their time had been much occupied during the past sreck, and they were unable to go into particu- TS. a ‘A vote of thanks was tendered to the Social- istic Aldermen for their services in the Common Council. Morgan then read the platform of tho Convennon. The preamble recites the indorsement and ad- herence to the principles adopted by the Na- tional Convention; labor creates all wealth, and is entitled to all that it produces; te plattonas asks sanitary inspection of all food, dwellings, ete.; establishment of public baths; more sewers in the woringmen's districts; abundant facilities for schooling; abolishment of the contrant sys- tem; fixed salaries for all city officers, Aldermen included; eight hours.a day’s labor; the city debt to be funded-at a low. rate of interest; cheap transportation from one part of the city to the other; etc., etc. ‘The platform was adopted.

Glascow. ‘Twelfth Ward—Martin Glascow. ‘Thirteenth Ward—No choice. Fourteenth Ward—Frank Stauber. Fifteenth Ward—Jobn Soller. Sixteenth Ward—Henry Stahl. Seventeenth Ward—Alfred Gould. Eighteenth Ward—Herman Tintger.

NEISWANGER. “ Fifteen.? To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cutcaco, March 6.~-Many are the brain-aches, many the perplexed,-since the puzzle mania seized us in its irresistible clutches. Simpictons, sages, and scientists alike. have wearied their brains oyerour litest novelty, the “Fifteen puzzle,” and yet they are not happy; andmany, it would seem, are no nearer a solution to the proper arrangements of this little “box of blocks” than they were before spending 50 many hours in the realm of perplexity. Some have said that the consecutive arrange- ment of the blocks without removing from the box was an utter impossibility. To such let one of the ex-perplexed say a word to the contrary. T have found several ways of bringing the blocks tothe proper place,some complicated, others surprisingly simple. I pay no attention to the arrangement of. the two upper lines, for almost any child could arrange them properly. One solution is as follows: It is not difficult to ar- range the blocks in the third horizontal row so as to read 9 10, —, 13, and in the fourth 12, 15, 11, 14; or, in the third rcw, 9, 10, 11, —, in the fourth 12) 15, 14, 13; if the former arrangement is made, transpose to tho latter by moving 11 up, 14 right, 13 down; then move 13 up. 14, 15, 2 right, 9 down, 10 left, 12 up, 15}., 11 d., 131., l4u., Uy, Jor., 2d, BL, lou., 12 r., 134., 15,14 L, lu. 2, 34r., 15 4., 141., 13 u., 15 r., 14.d., 13, 11, 2 u., 15, A r., 13 a, 2 = 9u., and you have them arranged consecu- ively. Another more simple method is to imagine the blocks in the third and fourth horizontal rows as formed in an oblong; they will, when con- gecutively arranged, read to the right,—9, 10, 1, 12, 15, 14, 13. Now, as this is the form that we de- aire to place them in, will make our general movement to the left, taking 9 as leader. and inserting or removing (when the opportunity occurs) as will bring them nearer the desired ar- rangement, for instance: if the third row reads, suy, 15, 9, 10, the fourth, 12, 13, 14, Ll, move 9, 10, Lz 2D, w:; 12, 13, 44, x03 15, d.z 9, 10, U0, 2.3 14, 15, 12, 13, r.3 94.5 10, U1; 22, u.; 9,15, 7.5 10,d.; 11, 12, 1.3 15, u.; and rotute the seven blocks until in regular order. This seems to me so simple that it becomes no “ brain-cracker" at all. JW. N. ELECTION BULLDOZING. ‘The United States Court Called Upon to Protect Voters at a Municipal Elec- tion. A very important question is to be decided by Judge Drummond, Tuesday,—no less 2 one than, “ Does the United States statute in relation to intimidating voters apply’ to white as wellas colored men?” Itis brought up in connection with the result of a local election held in tho Town of Elgin last Monday, wherein the ques- tion at stake was that of high or low license. The candidates for Mayor were E. S. Joslyn, in support of low Hcense, and Frank Baroth, on the side of the high figure. The contest was a sharp one, as the forces were about evenly bal- anced, and every known means was resorted to by each side to win the day. Prominent on the side ot high license was H. Lee Borden, who is in charge of the milk-condensing works at Elgin. The result of the ballot was that high license carried the day, and Baroth was elected Mayor as the exponent of that idea. 2 Yesterday Joslyn, with James Coleman, who had been retained by the saloonkeepers, ap- peared before Commissioner Hoyne in this city and requested a warrant to issue for the arrest of Borden fora violation of the United States Election law. They made affidavit that Borden hud bulldozed some twenty-two of _ his employés into voting the high license ticket. Itwas alleged that he hxd personally told his men that they would be discharged unless they yoted the ticket. These statements Joslyn and Borden spree by affidavits and statements of those interested, and about a score of wit- nesses. ‘The upplication for a warrant was based o: Sec. 5,50; of the United States Revised Statutes, which was enucted at about the same time as the Fifteenth Amendment, as an udditional safe- guard foran unrestricted suffrage. The section in question is ps tellowa 8 “Every person who prevents, hinders, con- trols, or iutimidates another. from exercising oF in exercising the right of suffrage, to whom that right is guaranteed by the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, by means of bribery or threats of depriving such person of employment or occupation, or of ejecting such person from a rented house, lands, or other property, or by threats of refusing to renew ‘Jeases or contracts for labor, or by threats of violence to himself or family, shail be punished as provided in the previous section.” e previous section referred to is one which probibits any one from interfering with any voter. or preventing such voter exercising the right of suffrage. The penalty is a fine of not more than imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year, or both. Commissioner Hoyne, from a cursory ex- n of the statute, was inclined to be- fmintter it applied to the case, as the Fifteenth ‘Amendment guarantees the right of suffrage to sons Without distinction of race, color, or previouscondition of ‘servitude. He,however,was Unwilling to issue a warrant where & constitu- tional question was involved, and referred the matter to the District-Attorney for decision. Gen. Leake wee of the ae 28 eane teenth Amendment gave the of . noe ae arantee that right, they alone were refe! Sin the statute when it speaks of those ‘to whom that right is guaranteed by the Fifteenth ‘Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.” In other words, he was of the opinion that the statute-cited wns framed expressly in conjunction with the Fifteenth Amendment for the benefit of the colored race, and applied to them alone, the whites having the right of suf- fi arantecd by the Constitution it- cole and not es) fal by the Fifteenth Amendment, {Still he would not advise the Com-, missioner not to issue the warrant, and neither would he authorize its issuance. In this difference of opinion the matter was referred to Judge Drummond, the Justice of the United States Circuit Court for the Northern District of Mlinois. He expresied: himself in- formally, and without having looked into the matter, to the effect that the warrant could be granted on the complaint and under this sec- tion. He, however, wished to confer with Judge Blodgett, under whose jurisdiction the case would come. Judge Blodgett is at present in St. Louis, but will probably return to-day or to- morrow, and Judge Drummond will deliver his opinion on the caso Tuesday. Itis claimed that, under either view, unless the United States inws should be held to be not in force in municipal elections, Mr. Joslyn will havo a case against Borden, as one of the employés alleged to be intimidated is a negro. ¢ decision will have no effect on the result of the election, as the number of votes concerned is not sufficient to cut any great figure. LOCAL CRIME. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. It isan open question as to who is running State streot after nightfall, the police or the thieves. Highway robberies are certainly be- coming too frequent on that thoroughfare. T. L. Parker, of New York City, at present a guest at the Palmer House, while on his way north to the hotel at 12:15 yesterday mogrning, was set upon by a band of highwaymen, five in number, who had evidently just started forth for a night's carousal in crime. Mr. Parker was accompanied bya friend, who also hails from New York, and who peremptorily refused to give tho police his name, but his presence did not deter the rob- bers in the least from carrying out their invent. One of the quintet held Mr. Parker up, while another went through his pockets for a pocket-book containing about $85 cash, a per- mit to carry a revolver. issued by the Superin- tendent of the New York Police, and a ticket to the Central Theatre. While this was in progress some of the others were attempting to go through the clothing of his friend in like man- ner, but he succeeded in fighting them off, so that they did not get anything. THE DAVIS BIGAMY CASE. The following was received from Albany by Superintendent O'Donnell: “Papers not here yet. Governor has gone to New York. Writ of habeas corpus still pending but can’t be heard nntil Monday. I think Davis will get out on another writ. Answer. “J.D. SHEA.” A telegram was at once seat back ordering Detective Shea to keep his man by all means, and that the necessary papers would probably reach him to-day or early Monday morning. postal-card, bearing the signature ‘ Anony- mous,” was received at police headquarters. It purported to give information of a wife_and child whom Davis abandoned at Elkbart, Ind., but, from the manner in which it was worded, the'police do not pluce much reliance upon it, There is now no doubt, however, as to Davis’ criminality, and when he is brought to triai here there will be at least twoof his many wives who will be sensible enough to prosecute him to the end. THE JUSTICES. Herman Henke, afarmer from Dundee, Il., came to town to sec the sights yesterday forc- noon, and along about 11 o'clock strolled into a aaloon at No, 44 Filth avenue. ‘While there he says ho was knocked down and robbed df $68 in cash, and was then thrown out of the piace in a partially conscious condition. We entered complaint at the Armory, and De- tectives Wiley and Amstein at once arrested the bartender in the place, Charles Reck by name. Justice Wallace held him in $500 to the 8th. At2o’clock yesterday afternoon Joseph Bib- ler, an old gentleman from Rochester, Ind., re- ported atthe Armory that while on his way to the Michigan Southern depot he saw aman standing in the doorway of a building on Polk street, near Fourth avenue, and inquired of im’ the way to 'the jepot. Just as he did so, the fellow caught him by the coat collar, and twisted him aboutseveral times, and said: “Damn you; yes,!'llshow you the way tothe depot.” Mr. Bibler begged to be let alone, andthe stranger desisted. <A little farther on Mr. Bibler missed his watch and chain. An hour after the occurrence Detectives Mc- Donald and Duffy arrested on Wabash avenue, near Eldriggo court, an ex-Penitentiary convict named William Hutchinson, in whose posses- sion they found the stolen watch and chain. Justice Wallace held the prisoner in $1,000 to the Criminal Court. ARRESTS. Sunday, Jan. 25, a band of thieves raised a dis- turbance in front of Philip Sunficld’s bakery, at the corner of Morgan and Gurley streets, and when Mr. Sunfield came out to remonstrate with them, they knocked him down and robbed him of $25 cnsh. James, alias “Curly,” Mangan, one of the principals in the affair, jumped town and went to Kansas City. He returned a day or two ago, and was last evening locked up_in the West ‘Twelfth Street Station by Olficers Loughlin and Kelley. Michacl Rail and Paddy Connors are prisoners at the same station, Officers O'Grady and Scott having found them in possession of three bridles and a monkey-wrench, for which an owner is wanted. CINCINNATI’S MUSIC-BOX. “ Like Sweet Bells Janyled, Out of Tane and Harsh.” Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Cincinnati, O., March 6.—Present indications are that Theodore Thomas’ connection with the College of Music will terminate much sooner than he intended. In hisletter of resignation was a clause imputing to the managers evasion and misrepresentation in their treatment of his demands. This remark made the Directors angry, and their reply accepting kis resignation is couched in sharp terms. it says his language toward them is such as to preclude all further discussion, and hints that he had better go at once, and not wait for the expiration of the year in October. So far as the present Board is concerned, there is no possible hope of reconcilation, and, unless the control of the college changes bands through the purchase of a controlling share of the stock by Mr. Thomas’ friends, the late Director _ will be on his way to New York ina few weeks. A movement to secure a controlling amount of stock, and over- rule the present Directors is under way but its success is doubtful. The present Directors are Reuben Springier, Gen. A. T. Goshorn, and ex- Gov. J. D. Cox, three men in.whom the public have the highest confidence. Popular sentiment still runs strong in favor of ‘Thomas, but there seems to be no way in which a an find expression in anything more than ali. Three leading professors, Schneider, Foley; and Mees, have followed Thomas’ example and resigned. Otto Sengier will probably succeed to thetemporary Directorship. ’o the Western Associated Press. Crxcrsnati, O., March 6.—There is a_strong feelinginfavor of retaining Theodore Thomas here at the head of the College of Music, and, as he has plainly intimated a desire to remain at the head of aschool which shali be a real college of mu- sic, that feeling took shape in an effort to obtain a subscription to the stock of the present cole lege witha view of.gettinga majority of the stock and then relistating ‘Thomas. “Its pro moters state to-night that encouraging progress hasbeen made, but do not vive tho amount of stock taken. + ROSE D'ERINA, =~ Special Disputch to The Chicago Tribune.

TILLADELPHIA, March 6.—Edward McPherson, editor of the. Press, has been succeeded by cuicles E. Smith, of the Albany Evening Jour ee ‘ THE RAILROADS. EAST-BOUND FREIGHT MOVEMENT ‘The reduction in east-bound grain rates has had a good effect, and shipments are being made more freely'than heretofore. And, were it not for the fact that shippers anticipate a still further reduction before long, shipments would bestill heavier. Whero the late reduction did tell most was on corn, which couldnotbe shipped at the former rates, a8 the transportation charges amounted to about 33 per cent on the price of the article, while the charge on wheat was but 17 per cent. Since the reduction bas been made corn has come forward very freely, but wheat is still being held by the epeculators. The latter cereal has been but little benefited by the reduction, because the ocean rates have ad- vanced about the same figure 2s the rail rates have been reduced. The grain will probably be held until another reduction in the rate is made, which will be about the time of the opening of navigation, when the parties now holding it will be compelied to let it go. They must have be- come convinced before this that they made a bad speculation when they bought the wheat and filled up the elevators on the supposition that there would be a heavy demand in Europe. The demand has never come, the Europeans re- fusirig to pay the prices demanded in this coun- try. ‘There can be no doubt that, under exist- ing circumstances, the wheat now held here and atother Western points will commence to go forwurd as sodn as navigation opens and ad- vantage can be taken of the lower lake rates. be able to take care of all the wheat, of course the roads will get a large sbare of it, and for this reason the lutter expect to do an im- mense business during tho next two or three montis. ‘The cause of the heavy increase of business on the Lake Shore and Baltimore & Ohio has just come to light. As already stated, most of, this ‘business has gone to Baltimore, and it has caused general surprise that ‘the Lake Shore should get the bulk of this business. There has deen a suspicion that the Lake Shore boom has of therates. But such is not the fact. The shippers had to pay full rates, but nevertheless a sharp ie has been practiced against the other roads. Under tho prorating arrangement the Western lines get a larger proportion by shipging over a short route thao a long one. The ‘¢ Shore therefore agrecd with some of the Western lincs to accept tho short-line division, and for this reason the Western roads have sent their freight over this route. ‘The shipments of flour, grain, and provisions during the week ending Murch 4, 1880, were 41,330 tous, against 40,183 tons the week previous, an increase of 1,147 tons.

This road has transported East during the last week the following articles: Flour, 1% barrels; corn, 87,547 bushels; beef, 15 barrels; pork, 250 bur- rels; and lard, 15,400 pounds. The shipments by this line have been light during the week, not because it could not have had the business, but because it was short of cars. If it had the cars it could have done more than twico the amount of business. Tho Grand Trunk is rapidly turn- .ing out new cars for this line, and it expects soon to be in a position to accept all the busi- ness that offers. ‘The final balances of the various roads from June 9, 18:9, until March 3, 1880, were as follows: Michigan Central, 17,204 tons over; Baltimore & hio, 1.332 tons over; Lake Shore, 14.728 tons short; Fort Wayne, 887 tons short; andPan-Han- dle, 3,022 tons short.

Eckert, President of the American Union Telegraph Company; ex- Gov. John C. Brown and Frank Bond, Vice- Presidents; and Col. George Noble, Superintend- ent of the Vexas & Pacific Railroad, arrived here ata late hour last night on # special train. They leave this morning for St.Louis, via the Mis- souri, Kansas & Texas Railroad. Inarunning conversation with Mr. Gould, he expressed him- self as being pleased with whuat- he had seen of Texas, and predicted a bright future for the State.’ He is here entirely on a tour of ad- system inspection. Lrrrce Rock, Ark., March 6.—Jay Gould, re- turning via the Iron Mountain Railroad from his ‘Texas railroad inspection, went to the Hot Springs by the Narrow-Gauge, and spent the day there. THE PULLMAN PALACE-CAR COM- PANY. Mr. A. B. Pullman, of. the Pullman Palace-Car Company, left lust evening for New York on business connected with his corporation, which, at this time, is extending itself more than the public is generally aware of. An order has recently come from Australia for the interior outfit and furnishing of a number of dining- room cars for the Government railways in that far-off land. These are now making at Detroit. ‘The London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, of England, is contemplating putting on a limited Pullman train of parlor and dining cars, as_is now being run between ondon and Plymouth. Pullman parlor cars haye been plese on the Dutch State Railway between Flushing and Cologne. Recently the Great Northern Railrond of England has placed Pull- man cars on its line between London and Edin- boro, The Pullman Palace-Car Company is also building ten narrow-gauge siceping-cars for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad and cight hotel- cars to run between St. Louis and Cheyenne. STRUGGLING FOR CONTROL. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Lovisviniz, Ky., March 6.—A private dispatch from New York says that in the struggle for the control of the Ohio & Mississippi stock now going on there the Louisville & Great Southern people will win. There has been 4 remarkable advance of late in Ohio & Mississippi securitics, and it is said it has had a cause in a fight between Gould and Newcomb. The Louisville & Nashville people here do not think their leaders wish the Ohio & Mississippi. It will be remembered that Tom Scott and’ President Standiford talked about buying the Louisville & Cincinnati Short Line some time ago, but seemed to abandon their plan, probably because the purchage of the Skort Line would require some $13,C00,0U0, whereas control of the Ohio & Mississippi stock could be had for a much less sum. ‘0. & M., SPRINGFIELD DIVISION. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. SPRINGFIELD, Dll, March 6.—The local bond- holders and parties interested in the Springfield Division of the Ohio & Mississippi Railrond to-day receiveda dispatch announcing that the Gar- retts had sold the bonds and stock purchased by them tothe representatives of the Louisville, Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad, and that this would give Stafford and his combination control of the road and_relieve it from entangling alli- ances with the Baltimore & Ohio. As stated in these dispatches a few weeks since, the bond- holders‘and creditors of the Springfield Division have been anxious toconsummate an arrange- ment with the Louisville, Nashville: & Chat- tanooga since the road has been placed in the hands of a Receiver, and negotiations to that end have been pending- It appears, however. from information recelved here, that the Louisville, Nashville & Chattanooga com have occurred among the children, and now | bination have secured control of the MARCH 7, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES ag wellas the Springfield Division, and-that it will bo operated | in connection with the Balti- more & Ohio.

New YorE, March 6.—Vice-President New- comb, of the Louisville & Nashville Company, who is now|in this city awaiting the arrival of ex-President Cole, of the Nashville & Chatta- nooga Company, with whom he is to have 8 con- ference, sald yesterday that the report that his Company proposes to purchase the Ohio & Bfis- sissippi Rodd is unfounded, absurd, and ridicu- lous. ‘In fact,” added Mr. Newcomb, “you can put the denial inas strong terms as you choose, and sign my name to it. Wehave never in- yested one dollar in the stock of the Ohio & Missisaipp! Road as a Company, nor have | indi- vidually.

New Yours, March 6.—The Board of Trade and Transportation has scattered circulars through- out the city and State for signatures, calling at- tention to the railroad abuses. ‘ITEMS. The English railway people evidently appre- ciate the services of their managers. Mr. James Alport was for twenty-six years tne manager of the Midland Railrond. He recently rotired from ‘active service, and the corporation which had employed him so long presented him with the munificent sum of £10,000 storling, or $50,000, ‘The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company has just completed a contract for the construction of eighteen full iron bridges, to be erected at various points on its main line and southwestern branch, at a cost of $250,000. This Company has also been very active during the last year in replacing its iron ruils with steel, andithas now acontinuous steel track from this city to the Missouri River, being the first rond in the field with a continuous track of this desert pion. The greater portions of its second ave also been Inid with stecl rails, and in afew months nota single iron rail, except on side-tracks, will be on the lines of this Compuny. It was generally expected by the railroad em- Be és that. the advance of salaries on the Van- lerbilt roads would speedily be followed by a similar advance on all other roads. Butthus far none of the lines have signified their intention to raise wages, and there is much grumbling and dissatisfaction on that account.. When their wages were reduced the promise was held forth that they would be advanced again as soon as the business would warrant it. The roads during the past six months have been doing a better business than ever before, and the prospects are that they will continue tobe prosperous. Therefore the employés think it is no more than right that the managers shallkeep their word and restore the wages as promised. ‘The traftic department of the Illinols Central reports the following earnings for the month of ‘January, 18801 Hoe 7 Tn Ilinois... $417,238 In Iowa... 119,421 104,301 Total. ......-.-0+-0-2-+++++ $500,057 $580,192 In January, 1890, the Land Department reports sales of 3,810.60 acres for $24,651.18.

The Kankakee & Southwestern Branch of the road is now my to Pontiac, Lll., twenty- one miles from the starting-point, near Kemp- ton, on the Chatsworth Division. This branch is to be extended twenty-two miles further, to Minonk, on the Northern Division. . The Northwestern Grand Trunk opened {ts line for pnssenger traffic yesterday. For tho present two accommodation-trains only will be run between this cityand Thornton. The depot at this point will for the present be at Twenty- sixth street and Western avenue. The Blue Island avenue cars will take passengers withina short distance of the depot. These trains leave this city at 10 a. m.and 5 p. m., and arrive at 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. It is understood that the Grand Trunk has complcted, or is about to com- ete, arranyements with the Western Indiana or using the latter's line for its passenger- trains, and a temporary depot is at once tobe constructed on Fourteenth street, near State. It isexpected to have this depot ready in about two weeks, when the Grand Trunk trains will runin there.

PIECES OF CLOTH COVERED WITH MEDICATED RUBBER. Spread Abroad Literally Like the Leaves . of the Ancients. A Reporter Astonished at What He Saw. One of America’s Special Indus- tries by Which the Whole ‘fVorld Is Benefited. “A building five stories high and nearly 100 Teet square, flanked by another nearly as large, where all is bustle and activity, the first equipped with heavy and intricate machinery,-driven by an hundred horse-power engine; tons of india- rubber and various medical ingredients, under- going manipulation; experts watching the dif- ferent processes of manufacture. Judge of our surprise when told that this immense laboratory (located in South Brooklyn) was devoted tothe Preparation of Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster. ‘e had never thought of this branck of busi- nessat all, and, if we had, it would have been merely a passing idea of a little room with a few plasters for a tew people troubled with back and other aches; but here, looking at the many busy omen engayed from morning tonight in box- ing und labeling the plasters, to be made ready for the market every day. one is amazed at the enormous consumption of them there must be. “Where on earth can so many fe ? we asked. “Everywhere; come into our shipping depart- ment and our statement will be verified,’ and it was, for the books showed orders from nearly every partof our globe. These plasters seem like the leaves the ancients wrote about, that were given for the healing of the nations, to be sent into every part where there was pain.”— Brooklyn (N._¥.) Eagle. ‘The great Success of Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster is due to the fact that it is not only far su~ perior to all similar articles, but an invention of absolute value. It is prepared with the greatest care and skill and contains the ingredients for rapid relief which is demanded by this progres- sive and impatient age. It has been awarded medals, National and International, for its merit. Eminent physicians have spoken and written in its favor, hence it is widely known and re- apected. The fact is that there is a vast amount of pain that cannot be relieved so quickly and a certain class of ailments which cannot be cu so promptly and permanently as by the use of this article. Suit comes that all classes use it. ‘The mother procures it for the child who is af- filcted with Whooping-Cough or Weak Lungs. One complains of a Lame Back orLumbago ahd is recommended to try Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster. A. suffers with Rheumatism and finds that nothing removes the twinges like this Plas- ter. They are used for Sciatica, Kidney and Spinal Complaints, Weak Muscles, and Aches and Pains generally which are best treated external- ly through the pores. Worthless imitations of Benson's Capcine Plasters are sold, but imposition can easily be avoided and the genuine secured by seeing that the word Capcine is correctly spelicd. MEDICAL PREPARATIONS.
