Movefile ut for Lower Graia Itatea.

Grain men at the Produce Exchange de-ciJed yesterday to fight the railroads because charges foi grain to New-York -fioni the West are higher than to other seaports.

The committee held that ew-York was losing business because grain rates were lower to othe" points. Charges from Buffalo to New-York are 5 cents a bushel, but only cents from 'Buffalo to lialtlmore.

The railroad managers defended the differential tablet as the product of experience and business Judgment, but when iney resorted to paper they confined themselves mainly to requests for specific complaints, detailed freiirnt figures; or something of that Mavliig at last decided that no satisfaction could be expected from that quarter, the Grain Committee applied to the manager of the Exchange yesterday, for "authority to- engage counsel and to make a case against the railroads, to tie 'taken before tbf Inter-State Commerce Commission, the Sta'c Railroad Commission, the Legislature or any other authority competent to extend relief.

Darby of Florida is the victim. Because ot circumstantial evidence, JLuis C. Bloch. who had been a at the hotel for a week, and who rr presents himself as' a talesman of Denier, has beeci arrested. Mr.

of his loss, and the hotel detective was aroused. The street door of the house were watched so that no one might leave without inspection. and a search of the premises was mad. No one had been seen to enter or leave the place about the time of the robbery. The chambermaid In charge of the floor on which Mr.

Darby had his room, on entering the apartment of Mr. Bloch at noon, found the Senator's coat and vest cn the floor. The watch was there, too. and the card cases, but the money was missing. No ono bad seen Mr.

Bloch about the hotel after midnight. The bed In his room had not been occupied. Mr. Bloch was not in the house when the discovery wa unada. and Mr.

Todd, the proprietor, telephoned to the Detective Bureau at Police Headquarters asking for assistance. Capt. O'Brien detailed Detective Daly on the case. When the detective reachc-d the hotel he found that Mr. Bloch had returned, and was then In the corridor.

Daly accompanied him to his room and asked him how he supposed Senator, Darby's clothing had got there. Mr. Bloch said: I don't know anything at all about it. I have not been in the hotel Ince midnight. I met a friend yesterday whom I knew formerly Jn New-Orleans, and night, after the theatre and" luncheon in the hotel cafe.

I went to this friend's house together with another friend, a medical student, and remitined there until neon today. I came direct to the hotel, and then learned for the first time about the robbery." Unwilling to arrest Bloch at oncu, the detective left him in the hotel and went to the houe in West Thlrty.eventh Street where he said he had passed the night. It was said that Mr. Blocn hafi been there and was unknown. Senator Darby made a complaint of robbery against Bloch, and he was taken to Police Headquarters.

There he Impressed Cast. O'Brien as a respectable and Innocent man. Bloch told the Captain that he was a salesman in employ of the National Cycle Manufacturing Company of Bay City, but came originally from Denver. He had rome to New-York from Philadelphia and B3ltlmore, having left Baltimore April 17. liioch.

O'Brien the name and -addres of the wiedlcal student who had' been ''in his cnmjtoriy Tuesday night. Deteetivo Daly went it search of this man and Bloch was locked in a cell.

By what may be only a curious coincidence, O'Brien received from the of Police of Baltimore April 22. a few days after Bloch admits that he was in Baltimore, a description of a thief who had stolen two sealskin capes from a hotel in that city. In many res-poets the description seemed to tally, with that of Rloch. and Caot. O'Brien thereupon telegraphed to Chief Moore of Baltimore to ask whether any one could come here to determine whether Bloch Is the thief.

Not wishing to have the Jail used as a headquarters for swindlers he has referred the matter to United Commissioner Isaac Romaine. CITY BOYS VISIT YONKERS.

All the substantial business houses of brick and wood, the leading hotels, office buildings, and better class of retail chop were burned or are In ruins, as the result of the use of dynamite exploded to stay the flames. The conflagration ended only, when the residence portion was reached and open spaces encountered, across which the llamea could not reach.

The lire, which was of undoubted Incendiary origin, started In the kitchen of th Portland Hotel, on- Second Street, shortly aftT noon. A brisk breeze was blowing and, the. fire rapidly gained such headway that the Fire Department was unable to check Its progress. The Portland waa a rattletrap, and offered tha best of kindling for the beginning of a conflagration. The entire town was quickly set Into a panic, as the residents had not recovered from their terrific experience of Saturday, Everybody began to prepare to pack up and get away, but so rapid was the progress of the flames that the people soon became panic-stricken, and a wild scene ensued.
