Another Large Falling O in the East- Bound Traffic. THE NEW BLOCKADE. . ‘The new snow-blockade of the Northwest Teached a’climax yesterday morning with dls_aslmus results to the Rock Island, the lllinois Central, and the Northwestern Roads. -The Milwawkee & St. Paul also suf- fered from 1t, but received the reimburse- ment principally at points-where shovelers and snow-plows were- 6till bucking against the old drifts, and so, as trains had not yet resumc{l at these points, they were not inter- fe_red with, but it places the time when they will be enabled to resume much. further on. The Northwestern Road received the snow- fall chiefly on its Wisconsin Division, be- tween Desplaines and Janesville, and on its Iowa Division from Clinton to Council Bluffs. The storm began with a rain, which changed to snow ¥riday night, about eight inches falling on_a level in the region of Cedar Rapids. But it was hard to tell just how deep the snow-fall was, as a terrific wind ac- companied it. Yesterday mqrning, though, the storm ceased entirely or the snow changed (o rain again; and, the snow-plows being put to work promptly, it is thought that to-day will find thetracks comparatively clear again, The Northwestern train due at 2:15 yesterday afternoon will not get here until this morning. The Wisconsin No. 4, ducat 6:30 yesterday afternoon, was three bours late. The train that left Council Blufls for Chicago Friday night had to suspend at Boone, Ia., and will not reach Chicago until this afternoon. The prospects were so prom- ismg last night, however, that all regular trains were started out as usual, The Illinois Central was completely “Old Man's Boot " and * Dog ‘| blacked on the whole of its Iowa Division and on about one-third of its Northern Di- vision, there being terrible drifts at Mendota, where the 1linois Central crosses the Chi- cago, Burlingten & Quiney, The through trains to and from Dubuque had to be aban- doned, the one that left Chicago Friday night gettng only as far as Aurora, Ill. The road stopped receiving freight for the North- west yesterday morning. No traiu started for Dubuique from Chicazo yesterday. On the Rock Isiand Road, the Omaha train due here at 6 o’cloek vesterday morning had to be abandoned between Davenpprt and Alarengo.. The train due from the West at 2:45 yesterday afternoon was_three hours late.” The news came last night that the snow was being fast melted by rain, and ac- cordingly the Rock Island sent trains out from here yesterday, asthough there was no blockade. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy did not sutfer much from the blockade. The train due here at 7 o'clock yesterday morning from Omaha was three hours late, but this was the greatest” delay, and none of the trains stopped running. CUTTING FREIGHT RATES. Day before yesterday.there was a meeting in New York of the Joint Executive Commit- tee of the trunk-line pool, which meeting was held in Commissioner Fink’s oflice, and ‘was for the purpose of putting a stop to the cutting of rates on east and west bound freights, Commissioner Fink stating that the cuts had - been carried on to such an extent -as to produce confusion and general demoralization. Indeed, a pros- pective freight-war was talked of. The meeting was largely attended, and an amicable adjustment of freight rates was finally reached. Accordingly the General _Freight Agents of the varions trunk lines represented were instructed by telegraph as to what rates they should charge after to- -day. The Chicago agents met yesterday afternoon in the oflice of Mr. R. C. Meldrum, General Western Freight Agent, to com- pare notes as to the instrucnons referred to and see that there should be no contlict. ‘There were present at the meeting: Alex- ander Mackay, of the Michigan Central Frank llarriott, of the Bultimore & Ohio; D. T. McCabe, of the Pan-flandle; Charles W. Randall, of the Fort Wayne: and Messrs. Chase and Howe, of the La Shore and Grand Trunk, respectively, The meeting yesterday was a smooth one, as there were no _differences to be adjusted. The rates which each road liad been instructed i to charge were the same and were not dif- 4 ferent from the existing rates, except that { the rates on_ live stock and dressed meats, between Chicagzo and points east were re- i duced five and eight cents, respect- ively, vper 100 pounds, as follows: Cattle, lhorses, mules, and sheep—from Chicago to New York and Boston, 60 cents; to Philadelphia, 53 cents; to Baltimore, 51 cents; to Albany, 52 cents: Buffalo, Suspen- sion Bridge, Piitshurg, Wieeling, and Bal- timore. 32}¢ cents; to Erie, 25 cents, There was no change in the rates on live hogs, and there was no change in rules regarding the minimum weight per car, The rates on dressed meats were reduced to 80 cents from Chicago to New York and Boston, to 78 cents from Chicago to Philadelphia, and 77 cents from Chicago to Baltimore. ‘The meeting of the Southwestern Railw: Association Freight Agents day before yes- terday proved to bave been, as was surmised by T1iE TRIBUNE yesterday, for the purpose of adjusting some little differences and com- pleting the arrangement with the North- western Road as regarded the Colorado trade. 1t had been said that some of the lines in the Southwestern pool had been cutting rates, but this was denied by the agents, and it was agreeably arranged that rates should remain the same, and that everything should goon as before. EAST-BOUND FREIGHT. The snow-blockade on the Western roads during the past ten days created a decided falling off in the volume of east-bound freights from this city, and in the main re- stricted shipments to those directly originat- ing in thiscity. The total shipments for the week ending March 5 were 38,580 tons; those for tne week ending yesterday amount~ ed to 31,855 tons, a falling off of 7,234 ton: There was" a drop of nearly 33,000 barre of flour. a falling off of abont 1.200 tons of grain, and a decrease of 2,700 tons of pro- visions. The following shows the east-bound tonnage, of each road for the week ending yesterday: Michigan Central. Luke Shore. Fort Wayn Pan-Handls Baltimore & Grand Trunk Total.. The percenta; carried Dby the different roads during the week were as follows: AMichigan Central, 26.5¢; Lake Shore, 28.09 Fort Wayne, 18.44: Panhandle, 10.72; Balti- more & Obio, §.67; Grand Trunk, 7.54. POSITIVELY DENTED. Dispatches from Toledo having stated that General Manager M. D. Woodford, of the Fort Wavne & Jackson Road, had ac- knowledged that he had been tendered the place of General JManager of the Canada Southern, the gentleman yesterday telegrapled a friend of his in this city saying that the dispatches twere all wrong and placed him in a very unpleasant light; he had not_becn offered any position by the Colorado Southern, and did not say that he had to any one. - ALL WRONG. i A purported morning paper announced yesterday that * Mr. C. D. Gorham, Assistant General Manager” of the Fort Wayne Road, would probably sever his counection with the Company. Mr. C. D. Gorham is the Su- perintendent of the Westorn Division." Mr. C. E. Gorham, who Is the Assistant General Manager, stated to a TRIBUNE reporter yesteraay that he had hot the slightest intention of leaving the Com- pany. _The same sheet also announced that AT, John D. Allen, Mr, Myer’s ticket agent here,” would likewise probably quit the Company, aud that Mr. O. P. Myers, the ad- vertising agent, had severed his connection with the Company when Messrs. Griggs and Willard becane the General Western Solicit- ors. Mr. Q. P. Myers is the Advertising Agent of the company to-day, and Mr. John C. Allen—not John D. Allen—is thesecretary of General Ticket and Passenger Agent My- ers, and, Mr. Gorham stated yesterday, had not yet talked of leaving the Company. ITEMS. It is estimated that the consumption of rails for 1831 will be 935,000 tons for new roads and'650,000 tons for.the renewal ot old roads, General Ticket and Passenger Agent F. R. Myers, of the. Fort Wayue, did not return from New York yesterday, as expected, but will arrive to-day. o Mr. Marcellus Hlopkins has been appointed Assistant-Superintendent of the Galena Division of the Northwestern Road, the ap- - pointment to take effect to-morrow. ‘The rnilroad officials who returned from Springfield yesterday, where they had gone as witnesses before the Warehouse Investi- gating Committee, complained bitterly that they had been forced to waste so much time from business. wailing two or three days be- fore being called upon to testify. Last week the towboat Onkland, of the St. Louis & New Orleans Transportation Com- pany, left "St. Louis with the largest ship- ment of grain ever made from St. Louls. it consisted of 263,000 bushels of and 90,- 000 bushels of wheat, and was contained in eight barges. Which Is pretty fair for a small town. Among the hardest worked men in railroad service, as a usual thing, are the attorneys- general, and their Kllflll?S are yearly becom- ing more and more laborious, as railroad manazements are more incliued totrust them with important cases than in years past;and, instead of gowng outside and employing lega! talent at a cost of $5,000, possibly 20,000, on some single case, they turn the matter en- tirely into the hands of the attorney-gener- al of the road. The salaries vary from $8,000 to $10,000 a year, but it is much ‘less expense to the rallroad companies to employ an able lawyer for such a position than to pay the enormous legal fees which outside talent often demands. Mr. J. M. Hannaford, General Freight Agent of the Northern Pacific Road, was in Chicago yesterday on a brief visit. It is ex- pected that unusual progress will be made in the coming season in the construction of the Northern Pacific. "The Company is well supplied with money and are wnking exten- sive preparations for pushing forward the work of construction.’. Rails to the amount of over 50,000 tons have been purchased. 40,000 tons of which are steel, to be delivered on the line during the sumner. There has also been purchased. for the use of the com- pleted road, thirty-two locomotives and 1,75 additional freight cars. 1t is now promised that the road will be opened from Giendi up the Yellowstone River, to Miles City distance of 700 miles, in July of this year. . IHinois is not tne only State that has a Leg- islature endeavoring to regulate passenger fares. The Massachusetts Legislature has before it such a bill, the pointsof which are: First, no raifroad corporation whose road ex- ceeds five miles in length shall charge or re- ceive exceeding three cents per passenger per mile; second, no railroad corporation whose road exceeds ten iles in length, and that has _paid an annual dividend of 4 per cent or niore, and less than per cent for the past two years upon its capital stock, shall charge or receive more than twoand one-half cents per passeuger per mile; third, no rail- road corporation whose road exceeds ten miles in fength, and that has paid an annual dividend of ¢ per cent or more for the past two years upon its capitalstock, shall charge or réceive more than 1wocents per passenger per mile. Fifty dollars is the penalty fixed for each offense where the law is not com- plied with. Itis very ageravating to a St Louis man to pass by the immense works of the Pull- man Palace-Car Company near Chicago, with their surrounding._village of comtortable and attractive houses that have sprung up in the prairie as if by magic. 1le cannot fail to be impressed with the extent of the works. the size of the magnificent buildings, and the arrangements so carefully made for the health of the emplo; Itis, in fact, alarge town, all built up where'a year ago was only abroad field of vacant ground.” What dis- pleases the St. Louis spectator is the thought that his city might have had these works if its citizens had only been more enterprising and liberal. But no, the old fogies who owned the required land asked double price forltas soon asit was suspected that the Pullman Company wanted it, and we lost the plum. Selfishness is an effectual damper to progress, and where individuals eare noth- ing either for others or for the city in which they live, that city is pretty sure not to grow. This is the reason St. Louis has been out- stripped by Chicago. If the foolkiller was abroad in the land we fear that some of our people would suffer.—Railway Register. A few vears ago a member had introduced ina State Legislature a bill concerning rail- roads, exceedingly harsh and oppressive in its provisions, and was making in its support an eloquent and terribly bitter speech. No lunguage seemed strong enough 1o express his detestation of the tortuous iniguities of railroads, and he particularly i lowing terws to the wicked practices of the Bungtown Railroad. The Presidgnt of this line and one of his friends, a wily Scotch- man, sat in the galle stening to the scath- ing denunciations of his road, and expressed soine. concern over the prospect of the bill going through, “Ah, man,” said the friend, **Brown (the orator) only wants to be at- torney for your road, and all you need do is to interview him.” The President called that night at thestatesman’s apacunents, and it was noticed that Brown immediately lost all interest in his bill, and even privately dis- couraged it, so that it never was again taken up. But Brown became attorney for the Bungtown Railroad within ten days after the Legislature had adjourned. This anecdote explains many things otherwise seeming strange.—Ex. ¥ WILL SURRENDER, St. Pauvr, March 12—A Pioneer-Press special from Miles City says that a varty of Sitting Bull’s band, who were frightened from Poplar River by the roar of Ilges’ guns, are on the north side of the Yeliowstone, awaiting for the waters to subside that they may cross over and surremder. There are seven lodges, under command of Long Bull, the well-known Uncapapa, and include four families of Uncapapas, two of Sans Aries, and one’of Ogallallas. e —————— NICKING HORSES.

Kumyss is the blandest and most easily digzested food, and as such the best nour- ishment for a weak stomach: at the same time, through the process Of fermentation which Kumyss undérgoes, medicinal qualities are de- veloj which we vainly look for In imateria medica. In nausen, vomiting, extreme cases of dyspepsia, Kumyss acts like a charm, promptly relieving all the distressing symptoms of such cnses. When the stomach rejects all -else, Kumyss is retained and assimilated, atfording the patient nourishment, strength, and comfort. and, as a lugieal conseguence, mervous- ness ceases gnd refreshing sleep follows. In scariet, intermittent, gastric, and typhoid fever, I prefer Kumyss as the exclus- jve diet. 1t sntisfies thirst and huneer and allays the fever. Kumyss has considerably the ad- yantage over drnpffl. in.that it never can do hurm. To dose an {rritable stomach with drugs isan absurdity which 1o intellizent - physician artempts in this day. But not only in extreme cnses should Kumyss be resorted to; it should ho the chief remedy for a weak stomach under all circumstances. ‘The dyspeptic braln-worker with a few glasses of Kumyssa day will improve his digestion and his nerve force.
