Thus far the cut has not been met by the Pan Handle, and thus far the Sastern Illinois and Kankakeo lines have not come into the fight, but it is con- | ceded that they cannot stay out if the fight lasts, During the foronoon scalp- ers were selling tickets to Indianapolis and Louisville at 85 to 90 cents, and a rate of 60 cents by the roads themselves is anticipated before nigl t. The Louisville, New Albany and Chi- caflo road had things all its own way during the day in_selling tickets at the rate of $1 to Indianapolis and at local rates from Indianapolis to points beyond, which of course made a cut to Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and other points Late to-night, however, the Pan Handle and Kankakee lines decided to meet the cut and will begin selling at the same rato to-morrow morning. The Kankukee line has not heretofore taken part in the war and it was not noticeably affected by | the cut when confined to Chicago and Louisville, but when extended to In- dianapolis, Cincinnati and other points, the Kankakee line was forced into the fight, and now promises to meet any cut made by anybody. The Cincinnati and Indianapolis cuts have also forced the Chicago and Eastern Illinois road in- to the row, and, judging by its first move, it promises to be quite a marked factor in the problem. It announces to- night that it will begin to-morrow selling tickets to Indianapols, including a_chro- mo, for b cents. It is understood that the b cents is for the chromo, and that the fare is thrown in gratis, To points beyond Indianapolis 31!! regular local fare will be charged, as is done by the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, mak- ing the rate from Chicago to points numed as follows: Cincinnati, $3.50; Duyton, $3 85; Springfield, $4; Urbuna, $4.30; Columbus, . The ofticers of this line say they have been forced into the fight, and they propose to mke it as hot as possible, The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago people say they are prepared to meet the rates made. 1t is impossible to say where the matter will stop. CHICAGO NOTES. Cnrcaco, September 24.—Work was resumed this mornirg at the rolling mills, South Chicago; 1,800 men went in. Wazes will be paid en the Pittsburg scale. The new board of trade clearing heuso opened for business to-day, Thero was a all morning, and it was impossiblo to get through business at 11 o’clock, the hour named for closing. As a result probably nobody will be posted, though several tirms failed to make any statement to the clearing house. There was much confus- ion, as the statement by different firms did not agree. In some cases firms re- ported trades with other parties to the same deal, and failed to report them owing to “‘ringing” settlements Saturday. The success or fuilure of the new arrange- ment seems to remain an open question.

DK, Menpnuis, September24.—The steamer Centennial, Capt. Wm. Burke, en route from St. Louis to New Orleans, struck a log yesterday afternoon, five miles above Hale's Point, Tenn., and sank in nine feet of water.

The passengers of the sunken steamer were brought here to-day by the steamer Genevieve, She is laying straight, with nine feet of water at the stern and seven feet forward, and she still rests on the log which caused herto fill.

A thick grey curl of smoke, rolling from the top of the hospital ward, immediate- ly indicatod the cause, and the four com- panies stationed at this post were at once on a double quick toward the building. Buckets, hosocarts and hydrants were brought into prompt action, and the duty was none tho less cheerful and prompt, because it was at once apparent that there was no hopo of saving the doomed build- ing. The large pine log structure was soon & mighty pyre of flames, which all efforts to subdue proved unavailing. A strong north breeze shifting at times to the east, carried the fire to every pertion of the building, The carnest efforts of the fire brigade sue- ceeded in removing a large portion of the furniture, medicines and records from the building, but most of the library was destroyed.
