Great exertion was required to prevent the buildings on the opposite side of the stroct from catching fire. Men were posted along the fronts of the buildings and on the awnings, throwing water upon the smoking houses. The, heat was so intenso as to burn somo of them quite badly, and the paint on the bulldings is in great biisters and the window pglass is cracked and broken. The fire was the work of an incendiary.

In the morning he held a lovee at the Riley hotel, at which all the democratic wheelborses attended and paid their respects to their standard bearer, In theafteroon Mr. Boyd was driven out to the fair, but beyond a few introductions to D15 party workers no one was apprisea of his prosence, Although strenuous efforts were made to prevail upon himto make a speech, he emphatically declined to jeopardise his chances of election by opening maoth, preferring to 1ly upon tho golden rule. Eyi' ently this decision caused considerablo dis- satisfaction among his followers, as they all left him to his own devices, and he wandored about almost alone. This évening, however, a reception was tendered him at’ the Riley and a little more euthusism was engendered, but nothing could prevail upon the pros. pective governor to break his oyster-lile si- ence, and beyond bandshakes and a few gon- ial words the visit of the democratie gube natorial nomiuee was of less than ordinary interest, Miltan Williford's Defence.

Miss Willard spoke rapidly and elo- quently for an hour and a half, After a few introductory remarks Miss Willard began her address by tracing the gowth of the antislavery scntiment until through agitation that cause bad triumphed and likening it to the growth of the first total abstinence and later prohibition seutiment, The dinner to the Pan-American cngress and the banquet to the presidentat the hub and to the North Caroling editors at Durham, al sorved without wine, were cited as instances of the growth of the temperance sentiment.

It had been carried by thoe democrats, not because of the popularity of Cleveland or the unpopularity of Harrison, but because of irreconcilablo dificerences in tho republican party. Ithad been arace division, with alt that such a division could imply in the south. It would be suicidal for tho republican party to seat a man who led the bolt against the republican ecandids He said if there was little law and less eyl denceto sustain the contest, there was still less republicanism. Ho was confident that there ng could bo a strong and effective republican party in the south until th were enough white m in it to make it strongand offective. Senator Mahono and the white men of Virginia had mado the re- publican party strongin that state and se- cured the clection of six republicans to cou- gress. The contestant, flying in the face of oxisting conditions, had raised 8 - mce issue, and the result had been that Viegin had now ouly two republican reprosentatives, Tgno- rance could not dominate and overrule intelli- gence, The republican party in the south could not be built upon negro votes alone, He (Cheadle) could not undor his oath and with his knowledge of the ease vote to seat the coutestant, and he hoped for the good name of the houso and the good name of tho great party to which he belonged that there could be enough republicans voting with him toretain Venablein his s Ho' eulogized ahone, and predicted that if his was followed Virginia_in a ars would be as roliably vepublican mont.

Cirerco, Sept. 17.—[Special Tel m to Tne B -The Rock Island road has formeda new route to Sioux City which, to competing roads, will prove a demoralizing factor in all business from mnorthwestern pints. Tho route consists of the Rock Island, Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern & Northern roads. Under ileage tariff of the Towa commission the length of this route will extend the Sioux City rates toa point within nifteen miles of Sloux Falls, This point has always taken rates 8 per cent higher than Sioux Ci owing to the Goat's Horn route of the Island, the rates. must bs practically the same. Consequently the Illinois Central road has given notice that on September 22 it will apply Sioux City rates at Sioux Falls, C being mnotitied action 3 i i took steps to meet the reduced rates via St. Paul and Duluth, and the consequence will be a reduction of 8 ver cent and upwards from all Dakota and western points, At this morning's meeting of western lines it was decided to make graiu rates from Sioux ents higher than from Omana, The ‘mation of the new routeof the Rock Island was not lnown, it being cousidersd that Sioux City was not a competitive point of cither the Rock Island or Alton, In pursu- ance of yesterday's resolution, there- fore the order the commerce commission for a cont rate from all Missouri river poiuts was to be ignored. The Rock Island will upset this, however, by making a 20-ceut rate from Sioux City, and of courso theratewill be carried to Sioux Falls and points farther west, thus tumbling rates in a manner which it is feared by railroad men will lead to ox- tensive demoralization. The Rock Island will also reduce grain rates in Kansas and Vebraska and will apply the reduced wheat rate on flour jand tho reduced corn rate on mill stuff, nd barley. Competing lines claim the Rock Island will break the West Freight association agreement by eitheracti and the result is certain tobe a wrangle, o the competitors of the Rock Island have not made the veductions mentioned in their tavif: operative October 1, and the Rock [sland will be the only road making them, The above subjects have created move il feeling among the freight men than has existed in six months, Chairman Goddard of the Westorn Passen- ger association has accepted the chairman- ship of theSouthwestern Railroad and Stean- ship association, This afternoon Mr, God- dard said he was mot you ot liberty to tell what office he ‘had cepted, but later the above was learncd from the most unquestioned authority. This association includes all the lines west and south of Kansas City and the gulf lines of steamers. The salary of the chairman is 15,000 &y The natur: r the headqaa of the chairman St. Louis or Galveston, but Mr. Goddard ro- 8 away from Chicago and his services were in such demand that his wishes were recognized und be will occupy perma- nent offices her Choirman Fi of the Trans-Missc assoclation toduy wecepted the chairmanship of tho Western' Passenger association and will relieve Chairman Goddard on October 1. The passenger department of the Trans- Missouri has becn absorbed by the Western Passenger and it is now the expressed in- tention to merge the freight departiment into the Western Freight association, thus effect- ing asaving of §100,50 & year. of A Cut in Rates on the Alton. Cuicaco, Sept. 17.—[Special Telogram to Tue Bee]—The Alton roud is selling tick- ets from Lincoln, Neb., to Chicago, via Kan- #as City, at the Short Line rate, a reduction of $1.60. This forces a reduction from evory point in Nebraska west of Lincoin of the same amount. General Passenger Agent Charlton of the Altou said, in reference to the matter; “We Lave simply quoted the rate made by our competitors, We are inno senso cuttiug rates. The rate was reduced seoretly by our competitors a long time be- fore we ware compelled_to make it openly.’” The regular rato from Chicago to Lincoln is $16, from Chicago to Kansas City #1250, and from Kansas City to Lincoln Every scalper in Chicago has a stock of tickots read ing from Chicayo to Lincoln. They are sold at $16, with a rebate on the Lin D ) culting the Kansas City rato to &350, But the Lincoln rate from Kansas City being only #.75, the Lincoln coupon is returned to ;)3‘- road issuing the ticket and redeemed at TP - — THE SWITCH WASTOO SHORT, A B. & M. Passenger Traf a Freight. Passenger train No. 6 on the Burling- ton, due in Omaha at9:10 p, m, met with a very serious wreck last night at Chaleo, a station about twenty miles down the road toward Lincoln, The west-bound freight meets the passon- ger at that place, and last night the freight train was a very long one. It pulled onto the switch to let tho passenger pass, but the switch was not long enough for tho train, Seven cars and the caboose still stood on the main track when the passenger train came rolling along. ® Engincer Lyman of the passenger train supposed that tho freight train was all on the switch, and simply slow- ing up a littlo he intended o puil right through, as he says there was no signal for him o stop for passengers, When within 8 fow rods of the back end of tho freight in he moticod th the main track was not clear, and whistl down brales, he and the firefnan jumped for their lives, The engine of the passenger train struck the seventh car from the caboose and knocked itinto kindling wood. The next five cars were smashed up and thrown in 8 promiscuous heap on_ the depot platform, and almost kiocking the little depotoft " its platform. Tho last car hit the caboose and was pitched on top of the en whenthe passenger train came to a dead balt. The caboose was not removed from the main track, Fortunately no one was killed or scriously injured. The passongers were considerably shaken up, but as none of the passenger cars left the track a severe shock was the extent of the damage to the passengers, and some splinter- ing and jamming is all the damage done the passenger couches. The engine was badly wrecked. Engineer Lyman sustained a severewrench of thoneck, und one of the brakemen who jumped received a bruise on the leg, An engine and two coaclies were sent out transfor the passengers and returned to Omalia at 12:20), The passengers improved th wait at the sceno themselves to u car of fruit th out over the ground and depot result of the collision, Runs into two hours' helping spread tform as HEATH The Bee's Washington Correspondent Weds a Loulsville Lady.
