Smith, 122 Dearborn street, has all the sport- ing papers and Wa'lace’s Monthly for November. Budd Doble is fn California, but thinks some of coming East next season with a string of ‘trotters. Atlast accounts John Splan was in Cleveland, and is expected to rench Chicago some time dur- ing the present week. ‘The current number, of Harper's Weekly con- tains a picture of Mr. J.R. Keene's colt Foxhall, that bus run s0 successfully in England this season. Three or four drivers are talking of spending the coming winter in the South. taking along £ome trotters to pay expenses, but the matter . bas taken no detinit shape. Among the noted trotters that will winter in Chicago’ are Bonesetter, Silverton, Voltaire, Charlie Ford, Piedmont, and Monroe Chief. Sor- rel Dan, the famous pacer, will also be here. Jer Monroe arrived home trom Ciueinnatt last Thorsday. bringing with him the horses Charley Ford, Don Quixote, and # pacer. They arenow in his stables, where they will remain during the winter. This is the first season for many years during which Mr. Robert Bunner bas not purchased from one to four trotters. Rarus was the lust notable addition to his collection, and since the performances of that horse hve’ been eclipsed St. Julien and Maud S. there is little or no nce for the proprietor of the Ledger to own the fastest horse in the world. It is known that upon his return from Europe Mr. Vanderbilt hed a jong talk with Capt. Stone, the resultof which was that Muud S. is to re- main in the latter gentieman’s hands next sea- son for development, when she ia expected to trot in 2:08, or thereabouts. A rumor regurdi the mare, which may or may not be true, gaines considerable currency bere lnst week. Ibis that next epring Maud S. will be driven to the pule With the Chicago stallion Piedmont, it being the belief of Capt. Stone that this team can trot in 2:Wor better. Itis well-known that, although tho 2:33 of Mr. Vanderbilt’s Small Hopes and Lady Mac is the best double-team performance ever made, it was not a record, and therefore does nut appear ou the official records. Never ‘after the Fleetwood track in able to Yepeat the performance, and, although Mr. Vanderbilt purchased Little Fred, Capt. Jack, ysunder Buy, and Doe | is, in the hope of i by Fi puch attention, Elaine was reting together a pair that could trot a mile in | ‘2:23 or better, be has uot wet with success. His bere ambition is to find a suitable mate for Maud S., and as Piedmont is about her size, of the same color, and can trot in 2:17, he hopes by putting the two toguther to get a teum that can make a mark in the way of double-team trotting that will stand for some time. Not many years ago “the McDaniel confeder- acy” was recognized as the must noted racing firm in the United States, and the members of its stable, headed by the fleet Harry tt, were numerous.

No new developments in the Western railroad: war were made yesterday. The sate fates that prevailed Friday are still adhered to by all the lines, and there are no prospects of a change until tho Presidents come together and stop the trouble, and tho great difficulty now isto get them together. The managers of the Wabash say that they will not call another meeting, and ‘the officers of the Alton ure equally determined not to seek a reconciliation at present, and 33 long as the officers of these two roads remain stubborn no compromise can be affected. It is impossible for the present state of affairs to continue much longer without involving the Eastern trunk lines, and, as they are very anx- ious to keep out of the fight if it can possibly be done, they will probably use their efforts to induce the Western warriors [to sheathe their swords and come together aguin and effect some compromise that will putun end to the disastrous contest before too much dumage has been done. The only way in which a settle- ment seems probable now is by submitting the points at issue to arbitrators. The Altun and other Western fines except the Wabash are will- ing to take this means of settling the troubles. ‘3tuch tault is found with the Wabash for not accepting such compromise. as all questions heretofore that could not be setticd by the rail- roads themselves have been successfully ad- justed by the ald of arbitrators. The posinon taken by the Wabash goes far to confirm the claim of the Alton manugers that it means to bulldoze them into uccepting its terms, whether they are just or not. President Ackerman, of the Llinois Central, has gone to New York prin- cipally to attend a meeting of the Directors of his road, but while there he is expected to call upon Messrs. Gould and Humphreys, with ao yilew of inducing them to recede from their po- sition and allow the matter to be settled by ur- bitration, and as his road isan intercsted party inthe St.Louis dilticulty} his arguments muy have someeffect with the managers of the Wa- bash. ‘At Kansas City the situation is about the samo as at this point, as will be seen by the following private dispatch received here last evening: “There is litle chunge in the situation of the railroad war at Kansaa City. Sleepmg-car berths are being. reserved three or four days abeud.

Care Western Hailroad, The war is a good thing tor the latter road, which has only lately come into prominence aga competitor for Eastern travel from this section.” EAST-BOUND FREIGHT BUSINESS. East-bound freight shipments have consider- ably improved during the past week, the regu- lar weekly statement showing an increase of 4,392 tons. All the Increase, however, bas béen in the grain traffic, the provision -shipiments re- maining about the same as the week previous. ‘The increase in the grain trade was caused by the anticipation that an advance in east-bound freight rates would soon take place, and conse- quently shippers were anxious to take advan- tage of the prevailing figures before the new ones went into effect. That these anticipations were correct was proved by the official an- nouncement made yesterday that grain rates would be advanced five cents per 100 pounds, on the basis from Chicago to New - York. The advance in provision rates went into effect Nov. 1, and that is the reason why there hans been no increase in meat shipments during the week. Grain shipments will no doubt continue very beavy until the 22d of this month, when the new rute fires. into effect, but after that date the trafiic is ikely to fall of again until navigation bas fully closed, after which the railroads will hive a monqpoly of the business, and thoy will be xbio to command all the truilic, no matter what rates they make, As stated yesterday, there were many of the Western officials who did not think the railroads would advance the grain rate be- fore Dec. L, on account of the sharp compe- tition still continued by the lake routes. But the New York trunk lines found it to their ud= vantage to make the advance a5 guiekly 23 pos- sible, and for this reason they did nut consider the desires of the Western lines. The New York trunk lines get all the business taken east yy lake at Exstern lake ports, and by ordering an advance, they make so much more money on that busivess that they can afford to let the lines cast trom this city suffer a little. Besides, they are anxious to stop tho heavy ull- rail movement from this city until they have been able to take forward ull the business brought to Eastern lake ports by the vessels. They are now using a lurge number of the cars of their Western connections, and they are not willing to return them until they have curried all the business that comes to Eastern luke ports bythe lake routes. The advunce, they think, will, fora short time at least, stop the rush of grain shipments by rail and increase lake sbip- ments, thus enabling the Western Hines to do without their curs until the New York trunk lines ate through with them. ‘he total shipments of wrain, flour, and pro- visions for the week ending Nov. 13 by the six eastern I-lines amounted to 43,389 tons, inst 38,976 tons the week previous. ‘The following statement will show the amount of business done during the week by each of the lines: Ls a Graii | Prov’s, a. | Flour, | tons of jtona of | Total pris.

CreveLanp, O., Nov. 13.—Railroad circles felt a ripple of excitement to-day over a rumor that the Lake Shore Company were about to_ build'a- new line, to be known as the Toledo & Northern Indiana Road, and that it would extend from Toledo to Chester, Ind. The general under- standing is that the project is one to shorten the distance between Toledo and Chicago, and the tine may be extended to Laporte. Prominent officiuls of the road would say nothing about the matter. Manager Newell returned from New York this afternoen, were he bad been to confer with President Vanderbilt. He was closeted with Judge Mason, one of the attorneys of the road, and other officials, for £00 time. When questioned about the new road by ‘Tar TRIBUNE Correspondent, Mr. Newell expressed astonishment. and, with a ‘merry twinkle in bis eye, usked, * What road?" Me ‘declined to say anything about tho mutter at present, thouga not denying that sume euch scheme was on foot, and promised one of these days, when all was ready, to tell ubout it.

SEXTON’S EXTRAS. A Rumored Scheme to Run Them Through the County Board. ‘There is a rumor to the effect that sore of the outgoing members of the County Board, in union with some of the hold-vvers, intend to make an effort to-morrow, or at the following Monday's. session, to rush through Sexton's cluim .of $80,000 for ‘“tdumages” Incurred by him during the execution of bis-contruct for the masonry-work of the new Court-House. This is based in part on the allegation that he was paid in county orders, which he had to sell ata discount, ana in parton the fact that his work was delayed to-his loss either by the negligence of other contractors or of the Board itself. The Committee on Public Buildings and Service has been listening for some time to arguments on this claim, and will probably submit a report to-mormw. It is reported that those who are in favor of securing the payinent of thislarge sum, the justice of which is greutly doubted, are fear- ful that they cannot get the votes of two-thirds of the members of the Board. The law pro- vides that no money shall be appropriated or voted by the County Commissioners beyond the sum of $500, unless such appropriation shall have been authorized by a vote of at leust two-thirds of the members elected to the County Board. It 18 understood that, in order tu get wround this provision, they bave been trying to fiduce County-Attorney Willett to give un opinion to the effect that a two-thirds vote is not necessary to the making of a0 appropriation for the payment of a con- tractor for services rendered under bis contract; and that any claim wade and allowed under bla coutract is a part of the oriinal agreement, and docs not require a two-thirds vote for an appro- priution.. There is no likelinood, however, thut this elfort will succeed. The Coun- ty Attorney is wo good a lawyer to commit himself to un opinion favoring avy such palpable evasion of the law ag is said to be desired of hita. Nor hus he sbown during bis, term of oitice that he is in sympathy with those meuibers who ure in fayor of extravagnat or iliegal appropriations, it is sincerely to bo hoped that any such etfort as that alleged to be contemplated will fail. The County Bonrd is absolutely Republican.” The responsibility of whatever wroneful act it is guilty of must ecessrrily be visited upon the Re- publican’ purty ulone. The fact of its political, ununimity leaves it with no friends among the opposition, and exposes all its measures to the bershest criticism. Any ef- fort, therefore, to rush throust as lurge a claim as thison the spurof the moment, und when the terms of Ove of its members ure about to expire, would be rexarded with grave suspicion by, the community. A claim of $50,000 is not a to be acted uponin a day. It should be carefully and maturcly considered, and the out- going menibers mprht rather be glad of an ex- euse for getting # of the responsibility of act- ing upon this claim than see to hurrying it along in order that they may record their: votes upon it. THE SPRAGUES. Willie Sprague Acquitted of the Charge or Assault with Unatent to Kill His Mother's Trustee. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuns. NARRAGANSET PIER, R.I., Nov. 13.—The trial of Willie Sprague for an alleged assault on tho trustee of his mother. Mrs. Rate Chase Sprague, resulted in Willie’s acquittal after n protracted fPiul to-day. The Court-House was crowded. It appeared in evidence that the pistol contained no missile, was not almed at the complainant, and atoy pistol would, not have wounded the trustee even if it had been londed with a bullet. ‘When the Judge of the Court, without comment, ‘stated, fn view of the facts, “I cannot bind the boy over," the manifest joy of tho spe: was very emphatic. The companion of Master J. B, Greene, told a straightfoward stor: relating to the firing of the pistol. The whole proceedings in the court-room were dramutic. ‘The pleas of the counse! on cither side were cf- fective. The spectators were moved to tears, Gov. Sprague bes not determined as to whether he will commence proceedings against Thomp- son for malicious prosecution, 5 THE WORLD'S FAIR IN 1883, Special Dispatch to The Chicugo Tribune, New York, ‘Nov. 13.—It is stated that the Committee who hare been discussing the World's Fair site question for some weeks back have decided, after a good denl of tribulation, upona location.
