Ietchum, the Broker—Ned Stoke Davidson, of the Tweed Ring— Gilman, tho Sanctimonious— Fish and Ward, New York Lotter, Thoe admleston of Banker Fish here this week brings to the mind of an old prleon cofficiai many other prominent New Yorkers who have cntered Siug Sing and Auburn pricors during the last twenty yems and epjoged npecial privi- legor. Thera was Ketchum, the New York Wall etreet broker, who defrauded the street out of milllons. He wss the prinze of prlroners. He had a separate table in the horpital, hed two poor con- vis's to wait on him, and that he might have euflicient iuflaence in the estima- tlon of 1he inspectors he bought up a par of tho shoe contract. He had an cflice bullt for himsslf, received his friends in a legal manner, and every hollday rpent from $1,000 to §1 500 for tho benefic of the poor urdfortunates who had not his wealth, or depended on the etate to fur- nish them with something outside the usual glogerbread and apples slways sup- plied ¢n theee occasions, There was Stokes, who killed Flsk. He wag an atlstocrat of the first water. He dined ia tbe hospital In company with John Simmons, the wealthy polley player on Liberty strecr. They had a separte table, and a colored couvict to wait on thew, and every day the grocory wagon from the village drove into the yard, and thelr orders were taken for even wine and cigars, Sach a thing as restraint where these men were concerned was unknown, Thero was Davidson, one of the Tweed rlng. He was transferred from Sing Sing to Auburn. He was a blood of the firat water. As goon as he arrived in Auburn he was glven sumptuous quarters in the horpital, had his own cook and waiter, and lived like a prizcy, He was very gocd to the sick. Gilman, the ssnctlmenlous swindler, who defrauded Christian assoclations and mutual bensfit assoclations to the tune of two or three hundred thousand dollars, wes Immedlately traneferred to Auburn prizon, was made a special clork of the prison assoclation, with an elegantly fitted op office, and dined at his own expense In the hospital. Fish, the banker, has a host of frlends, and will have absolutely nothing to do providing he can pey his way. Already he has beon aseigned w bed in the hospi- tal, » most elegantly farnished floor in the upper part of the center butlding. The moment Fish arrived he was trea ed like a guest inetoad of a conviet. His own bad end bedding were expressed to him, he had everything he required for bodily comforts on hand, and the only thing he will have to worry him will be his confinement and disgrace. A trato couductor who was talking to Fish, and who knew him many years, says Fish sald: “They will never convict Ward. They will be afraid to. He knew too mauny secrets, and he /s just one of those fellows who, if driven to the wall, will tell all he knows. Why, while I was in Ludlow street jail he had soms of the moet prominent men visit him, politiclans and others holding local offices, He is the smartest confideccs man In this country, but If ever he comes where I am I will kill bim! I tell you,” the coa- ductor ssid, who repeated this to me, ‘Fish bas been wade a catspaw of, and Ward has been instrumental la getiting him out of the way.” e ———— ¥xcrllent Interest Itnles, Montreal Herald, Tre snswer in cach case being in centr, separate tho two right-hand figures of the answer to exprees in dollars and ceats, Four per cent.—MuMtiply the principal by the number of days to run, Separate right-hand figure frov, the produc: and dlvide by nine, Five per cent.—"sultlply nomber cf days and divide by seventy-two. 5 cent.- -Multiply number of RAILROAD NEWS. A Damaging Decision by 1he Railroad Puol Against Omava, The Burlington and Northwestern Must Ship to Chicago The U. P, Semi-Annual Statement— The Telegraph Transfer—The Cut at Kansas Clty, —— THE IOWA PYOOL, AN IRONCLAD RULING AGAINST OMAHA, Special Telegram tothe Bew, Cr10460, Aug, 12.--Commissioner Faithorn, of the Western Freight association, has issued o decizion of much importance to roads inter- ested in cattlo traflic from Nobraska to Chica- &o, and of still greater importance to the city of Omaha. The fact was published some days 0go that Commissioner Faithorn had made » trip to Omahia to examino into the quostion regarding through shipment of live stock. The Union Pacific asked the privilege of ehippivg cattle at local rates at points on its road east of Plum Creek to Omaha and in event of tho stock not findivg o market at tha' place reshipping at the through rates from the point of origin to Chicago. From somoe stations the local rates to Omaha were higher, and from cthers lower than on through rates, The Iowa lines aro entitled to 60 per cent, and the Union Pacific o 40 per cent. At a recont meeting the subject was brought up, and after eome discussion the commissioner was requested to examine the question and submit & report, embodying his ruling. It was sent out yea- terday, and is to the following effeck: **Tho Union Pacific is not allowed to u local rates, and all live stock of the class in- dicated must be consigned throughout to Chi- cago, but it will ba allowed to etop consign- ments at Omaha, aud in t of their sale the Town lines' proportion will be deducted in the business reported to the pool It will be allowed to do this becanso Omaha is the terminus of the Union Pacitic oc on its direct line, Tho privilege, however is denied to the Buclington & Missouri, and Sioux City & Pacific yroads for the roason that in order to reach Omaha they would divert business from their through lines whi.h cross the river at Plattamouth and Blair,” ‘The Union Pa will hardly be satisfied with the decision asit restricts the delay of stock at Omaba to a reasonable time and it cannot avail it- seli of tho through snd local rate as it might please to choosa. Whether the Burliogton and Northwestern wili_feel agl- tated over being shut out will be developed later. Omaha derives substantinl benefic as the privilege of stopping gives it a chanca to absorb- all that the market will take and re- ship the overflow to Chicago. It s probable that the subject will come up at another meeting of the goneral freight agenta of the association, Semi-Annuzl Statemen Pacific, BostoN, Aurust 11, —President Adams, of the Union Pacific, submitted to the directors this mornine, » statement of the financial re- sults of the half year as compared with thoso of the corresponding balf of 1834, The. re- port thows o total income of $2,741.180 and & of the Union total expenditute of $3,781,018, This with the United — States. requirements of $384,202, makea o total de- ficit for the six months of '$427,321.
