But the Illinois Central being determined to oust tne Baltimore Ohio unless the iease was renewed before Nov. 1, and having so notified that company, Messrs. Spencer and Smith of tbe Baltimore came here to consult with the Illinois Central officers in order to effect a compromise and prevent a rupture, which would cut off the Baltimore Ohio from Chicago. Messrs.

Spencer and Smith had a short conference with President Clarke of the Illinois Central yesterday, but the consideration of the matter was postponed. It is the opinion of both the Baltimore 4c Ohio and the Illinois Central ieople that the affair will be amicably adjusted and that there will be no rupture in the friendly relations existing between the two companies. Tlie Burlington to Hun Through Pas-senser Trains Between Chicago and St. and Also 1'ast Trains to the Missouri Hlver. Passenger rates between Chicago and Missouri River points having reached rock bottom more than a week; ago, and none of the roads being willing to make a less rate through to Missouri River points, there was no chance in making any new moves as regards rates.

There being fears that if matters were allowed to remain in this condition, and new steps being taken to force the war to a final issue, a movement is now 6aid to be on foot which will force the fight into fresh channels. It is stated that the Burlington is now preparing time tables to run extra fast trains between Chicago and Kansas City, and also to establish a new passenger route between Chicago St. Louis via its Kockford, Rock Island St. Louis line. The Burlington has been in the freight business between Chicago and St.

Louis ior some years past, but has run no through passenger-trains between the two ivoints. It is the opinion of the Burlington people that by making extra good time they can successfully compete for the St. Louis passenger traffic. The putting on of fast trains between Chicago and Missouri River points by the Burlington will compel competing lines to take the same action and subject some of tbem to great inconvenieuce. It is the opinion that this new movement will force a speed settlement of the St- Louis and Kansas City passenger wars.

Mr. Joy's Conference with English Investors In Wabash. New YoitK, Oct. 27. There was a conference of) Wabash officials and directors today to hear tbe report of President Joy and Secretary Ashley, who have just returned from Europe.

These gentlemen rejiorted that they were court-coufly received, and that at the meeting ot bondholders in London a committee was appointed through whom future negotiations will be conducted. The bondholders wauted the plan amended so that new bonds, after being income for a few years and receiving what they earned, should have the same mortgage qualifications as the present bonds. The stockholders want tne proposed assessment reduced, and it probably be SO iustead of $8, as at first proposed. Efforts will be made to amend tho plan of reorganization so as to harmonize the interests of the stock and bond holders. Everything consistent with the interests of stockholders and others will lie done to meet tbe demands of the foreign bondholders.

FEDORA. ern's melon had been postponed to allow tbe company to purchase this clock themselves, but this rumor is unfounded. There is a plan, whose terms cannot be made public, whereby a prominent clock firm of this city propose to put in a clock on the "weekly installment plan, which we think cannot bo declined. This move only needs tho ratification of the Northwestern Board of Directors and certain signatures The clock once adjusted, the mortuary rate Is expected to be largely reduced in this vicinity, as death from heart-disease, caused by running for trains when there is plenty of time, will be avoided Should this installment plan'fail, the funds already collected, and which are now in the bands ot the committee, will be expended in the purchase of a new car-light which is warranted to allow the commuter to distinguish his ride-ticket from his mtal-ticket.

THE CURRENCY. Interesting Flaures Gleaned from the Annual Keport of tlie Director of tho Mint.

Washington, D. C. Oct. 27. The Director of the Mint has submitted his annual report for the fiscal year of 1884.

The deposits of gold during the year were $16,326,079, of which over $29,000,000 were of domestic production. The 6ilver purchased for coinage and deposited for bars amounted at tbe coining value to S3o 520,200, of which over $31,000,000 was domestic production. The total value of gold and silver deposited and purchased, including redeposiu, about the same as in previous years. The coinage amounted to $57,880,921. of which $27,032,824 as gold, and $28,773,339 silver.

The coinage of gold was about $8,000,000 less tbah the previous year. Besides the manufacture of coin, gold bars to the value of $23,875,588 and silver bars to the value of (total, $31,515,310) were prepared at tho mints and assay olticeg. The number of silver dollars distributed during the year was over 17,000,000. The total estimated iu active circulation in October, 1884, was over 000, an increase of $5,000,000. The director estimates the production of the mines of the United States for the calendar year of 1884 at: Gold, $29,000,000, and not quite $2,000,000 more silver than for tho previous year.

He estimates the amount of coin iu the country Oct. 1. 1884, to have been: Gold, silver, total, $814,000,000. Granting as a part of the metallic circulation the bullion in the mints and assay offices belonging to the Government, which amounted Oct. 1 to nearly $53,000,000 in gold and about $5,000,000 iu silver, the total coin and bullion available for coinage at that date in the country would be: Gold, silver, total, $872,000,000.

The total specie aud paper of all kinds used as money in the United States, Oct. 1, 1884, the director estimates amounted to $1,800,000,000. being an increase of over $75,000,000 over that in the country the same date of tho previous year. Of this amount over $502,000,000 was in the treasury and $1,304,000,000 in the banks and in general circulation. Deducting the amount held by the National banks leaves about $1,094,000,000 in the hands of the general public and banks other than National.

Tho production of precious mutate in twenty-one countries appears to have been for the calendar year 1883 about $91,000,000 in gold and $114,000,000 in silver, being $4,000,000 less in gold and a like amount greater in silver than lor the previous year, resulting from the diminished production of gold in Russia and the United States and the increased production of silver in Bolivia. The coinage in 1883 of twenty-three principal countries of the world amounted to over $101,000,000 in gold and $113,000,000 in silver. Of the silver coinage nearly one-fourth was executed in the United States and two-fifths by Mexico and India. In the coinage of gold the United States still stands first, Germany following with a coinage of $21,000,000, Austria with $16,000,000, and Kussia with over $12,000,000. Tho circulation of paper and specie of thirtv-nine principal countries aggregated $9,991,000,000, of which $3,293,000,000 was gold and $2,754,000,000 silver.

The. amount of Government paper money outstanding in these countries was $1,191,000,000, to protect which the treasuries held $263,000,000 in gold and $70,000,000 in silver, a totai of $533,000,000, and bank notes were outstanding amounting to over $2,752,000,000, to secure which the banks hold a total gold and silver reserve of After deducting the 6pecie held in banks and national treasuries the paper and specie in active circulation among the people of thirty-nine principal countries would amount to over $8,000,000,000.

1 1 A It II A 11 4 Mlnum CASINO ROLLER SKATING Rrvr Twenty-fourth and stale-its. Latest Phases of the Pennsylvania's Unpleasantness with the Baltimore Ohio Company. The Pennsylvania-Baltimore Ohio Conflict. Philadelphia, Oct. 27.

Special. I The Pennsylvania won its first legal battle with the Baltimore Ohio today. The Judge of the United States Circuit Court tiled an opinion refusing the injunction asked for by the Baltimore Ohio Company to compel the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to carry cars of the former company over -the New York Division of the Pennsylvania Koad. The opinion of the Judge was iu substance as follows: That the complainant, the Baltimore Ohio Company, bad a contract with the respondent, the Pennsylvania, and its leased lines, whereby a connection was formed between it and the aforesaid companies to establish a continuous line between Baltimore and New York, enabling the complainant to transport its cars without change from St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago, -and other places to New York; that in March, 1881, the respondent entered into a contract for this purpose that could be terminated only on thirty days notice; that the 13th of May last the respondent notified the complainant that this arrangement would tcr-taliiate the lith of June; that a new arrangement was subsequently entered into modifying to some extent tho terms of the original contract, but still enabling the complainant to have its cars transported between Philadelphia and New York over the respondent's line as before, which modi0ed contract could be terminated only by another notice of thirty days; that Oct.

3 the complainant received notice from the Philadelphia, Wilmington Baltimore Company, that it would cease hauling the complainant's cars over the road between Baltimore and Philadelphia the 12th of October. For the purpose of raising another question and laying a different foundation for the relief sought, the complainant further avers that the several railroads owned and controlled by the respondent are public highways for the transportation of persons and property: that the complainant is advised and believes that it is the legal duty of the respondent to receive and transport over said road tbe cars of the complainant, when tendered independently of the said contract, at uniform and reasonable rates for the 6ei vice, and further avers that the complainant is largely engaged in the express and sleeping-car business; that the successful prosecution of each of these branches of transportation requires that the cars appropriated to it by the complainant shall be forwarded over the respondent's line between Philadelphia and New York as heretolore. It is thus seen that tbe questions are raised: First, have the contract relations entered into by the parties been terminated? Second, is it the com-plainaut's right, independently of the contract, to have its cars accepted and transported over the respondent's road? The second question is one of unusual importance. To justify interference by injunction at this stage of tho litigation, the right of the complainant to have what it demands of the reppondent must be entirely clear. That it is not is quite plain.

It is unnecessary and would be unwise at this time to say more respecting it. The suggestion that tho court is simply asKed to preserve the existing relations of the parties until final hearing is without force in view of the fact that these relations are the result of a contract which provides for their termination at this time. If the respondent will signify its willingness to accept and transport the complainant's cars between Philadelphia and New York, as provided by the contract, until and including the 2d day of November next, tho motion for an injunction will be dismissed." Upon the suggestion of the court," as signified in the opiuion, Mr. MacVeagh, for the Pennsylvania Kaiiroad Company, drew up the foil owing order and agreed to its being added to tbe record: "Oct. 17.

18S4, Mr. MacVeagh. appearing or the defendant, and signifying its willingness to accept and transport the complainant's cars between Philadelphia and New York as provided by the contract until and in a candidate for Congress, and that gentleman was elected. In consideration for the services rendered by Mr. Storey in securing his nomination and election to Congress Mr.

Stuart procured for him a controlling interest in the Detroit Free lYess. Disposing of his interest in Jackson, he assumed the management of that paper, which had not hitherto been either a financial or political success, and which circumstance probably enabled him to make the purchase of a majority interest in it. At this period he practically commenced the real labor of his life. Doing ail of the editorial work himself, and only part of the time allowing himself one assistant, that journal gradually arose to a large influence ihroughout. the Northwest.

Its circulation rose to over 8.000, aud for six years he entirely abandoned himself to the work: gaining only a few hours' sleep, be arose and attended to it3 distribution and other business affairs; then, proceeding with his editorial labors, remained late at night to superintend tho details of proof-reading aDd publication. Alluding to these struggles for fortune, Mr. Storey said: "I had a boundless ambition, displayed all the judgment I had, kept my eyes keenly open for news, and made the people feel that tho paper had a policy of its own. Those were the secrets of my success and there was really no secret about; it." Tho publication of that journal undor his management continued eight years, and not only paid tor itself, but accumulated a fortuuo of over $30,000 as a compensation for the labor of its proprietor. In 1861 he came to Chicago and arranged for the purchase of the Chicago Time, which at that time was without friends and practically bankrupt in business and influence, although its owner was a gentleman of wealth, but with no taste or experience in the management of a newspaper.

Disposing of tbe Detroit FrU Press and completing the purchase of tho Time, his first investment in new material for the enlargement of its facilities amounted to the sum of $2 1,000. After a few months the circulation of that journal had so increased that tho capacitv of the presses was inadequate to respond to the demand, and an order was therefore made for the immediate construction of an improved cylinder press at an aggregate cost of $40,000. For a time these enlarged facilities were of sufficient capacity for the needs of the ollice, out soon alter a new six-cylinder press was procured, and this continued to supply the demands of circulation until the great lire in 1871 swept all of tho wealth, industries, and magnificence of Chicago from the face of the earth. After the fire arrangements wereimmedi-atoly made for the erection of a building upon the West Side, to be temporarily occupied for tbo publication of tho Times, and, although laboring under great disadvantages, that paper soon appeared. In 1873 the structure uow occupied by the Time was completed.

Mr. Storey was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention at which James Uuchanan was nominated for tho Presidency, and at one time was a member of the National Democratic Committee. INCIDENTS IN HI9 CAREER. Mr. Storey's career in Chicago contained many sensational episodes.

During the War his paper lost no opportunity of denouncing the mauagement 6t Federal interests, and when Gen. Burnside took command at this point in 18t53 bis arrival was the Signal for a bitter attack on his military, career in which he was referred to as IJutcher Burnside. The General retaliated by arranging to completely suppress the 'Times lor giving aid aud comfort to the enemy, and for some days great excitement centered about tbe ollice of that paper. It was at this crisis that Judge David Davis telegraphed to President Lincoln, advislug him to rescind the order issued by Burnside, and in this action lies the secret ot Mr. Storey's warm support of Davis through all the remaining years of his journalistic career.

The course pursued by the Times during tho War also brought its proprietor into collision with the railroads, the Northwestern for a whilt refusing to circulate the paper. In February, 1870, a criticism appeared of Lydia Thompson's British blondes which aroused tbe ire of tht chief Amazon to such a degree that in company with Pauline Markham and pome male companions she "ambushed the editor on the street and assaulted him with a whip. No serious damage was done, but the affair created a great local sensation. Politically Mr. Storey was a Democrat of the Democrats, but in many things he was not in harmony with his party, and from the time of the Greeley campaign, when ho and a few friends voted for Charles Francis Adams, up to the day in November, 1880, when he gavo directions for the preparation of an editorial on the Bourbon organization which was beaded Let It Die" he was not in accord with his old-time party associates.

In fact, nearly two decades since he took a stand in advance of bis fellows on the question ot recognizing negro suffrage, which caused much bad blood in tbe party camp. Of late years Mr. Storey's health had been slowly but surely failing. Of tine personal appearance and imperious temper, the first check to his physical vigor and mental equipoise occurred when he broke his ankle white attending a political convention. The fracture was badly treated so he claimed but at any rate he never afterward walked without a limp.

Then paralysis developed in a slight degree, and a trip to Europe followed, where another stroke still further broke him down. He brought back notions of European magnificence which found form in the projection of a magnificent marble palace on the boulevard, which is still incomplete after the expenditure of 8250,000. Mr. Storey was married three times. His first wife, whom he wedded while a young man, was divorced from him many years ago.

His second wile died in 1873, and Dec. 2, 1874, ho married Mrs. Eureka C. (LamD) Pearson. He had no children, and his natural heirs are his surviving brother, and sister, and the children of a deceased sister, who were with him when he died.

The disposition which will be made of his property is uucertain. It is claimed that he made, prior to death, a will giving the bulk ot his estate to Mrs. Storey. The validity of that, however, will no doubt be contested by the heirs, claiming that, at the time it was made, Mr. Storey was not of disposing mind.

Storey, the proprietor of the Timet, died at 10:20 o'clock: last evening at his residence, No. 1834 Prairie avenue. His last momenta tvero accompanied, apparently, by neither pain nor regret. The once-brilliant mind had lapsed Into childish oblivion long before, jrivlntf no evidence of its wonted vijror, nor that It appreciated the fact that dissolution was so near at hand. The death was calm and peaceful.

Dr. N. S. the attending physician, was at the house shortly before 0 o'clock, and told thf family at the time that Mr. Storey was in a very critical condition and that his death mijfbt occur at any moment.

The patient's breathing beenmo more labored with each succeeding moment, and It was evident that his hour was near. All of the near relatives in tbo city and a lew friends were hastily summoned, and when Mr. Storey breathed his last there were gathered about his bedside his wife and her mother, Mrs. llissoll, two nieces, Mrs. Andrew Anderson and Miss Agnes i'orrand, Judgo T.

Lyle Dickey and Mrs. Dickey, B. B. Lamb, and Anson Storey, a brother of the deceased. The death follows with extreme suddenness on tho legal proceedings of yesterday afternoon in the Probate Court, when upon the representation of Dr.

N. S. Davis that Wilbur F. Storey, his patient, was a distracted person, in very poor health, and liable to die ut any moment. Judge Knickerbocker issued an order upon the prayer of the parties named, relatives of Wilbur F.

Storey, that Eureka C. Storey, his wife, allow the said relatives to visit Mr. Storey often, and at such times as the physician in charge would permit of their doiug so. The relatives who procured the order of court are; Mary C. Farrand, Mr.

Storey's sister: Agnes Farrand and Emma Chapin, nieces; Edward C. Chapin, nephew; Anson L. Storey, his brother; and Mary E. Anderson, a niece. Immediately after the order was entered Mrs.

Storey, who was present, through her attorney, Lyman Trumbull, took an appeal of the order to the Circuit Court, giving the necessary bonds for the appeal Immediately. HIS LIFE. THE RECORD OF A LONG AND EVENTFUL CAREER. In the quiet and unassuming town of Salisbury, and under the shadows of the Green Mountains, Mr. Storey was born the 19th of December, 1819.

His father was a farmer in but moderate circumstances, and of English origin, two brothers of the name coming to this country during the colonial existence of New England, one being the ancestor of Judge Store), and the other of the family of which Wilbur F. was a descendant. His mother was of a faily by the name of Pierce.and of Dutch extraction. When young Wilbur had reached the age of 1 his father parted with his farm, and hence the early, education of the lad was necessarily limited to a few months of a few years in a common school, the seasons of seed-time, cultivation, and harvest occupying the larger part of the year, although he subsequently enjoyed the advantages of two winters in a Middlebury high school. The long evenings ot the winter were devoted to reading and the storing up of which formed the basis of a character that in after years was to grapple with momentous problems.

At the age of IS he entered the printing-office of the Free IVesi at Middlebury, accepting the duties belonging to the "boy of all work." The same assiduity which characterized his whole career stimulated his ambition, and, rising from "roller boy" to a master of the case," he looked forward to the editorial chair of a weekly journal. During the winters of his apprenticeship, which were live years, he neglected no opportunity to store bis mind with practical information. He parted his relationship with the paper mentioned in November, 13.5, and in 1X38 went to the City of New York, borrowing $10 from his mother to aid in meeting tho expenses of the trip, which at that time, and in the absence ot railway facilities, was a greater undertaking than traversing the continent today. Arriving in that city, he immediately found employ-1 merit upon the New York Jtmnuil of Commerce, then published by Hale Halleck, where he remained for a period of eighteen months nt a salary of $12 a week. In 1C38 he ventured ns far into the great West as South Hend, in Indiana, ltemuiniug there three weeks, he learned that the Democrats of La Porte wauted to establish a paper.

Saddling a white horse, he' pus bed forward to that town, and found the party organ awaiting a publisher. A man by the nune of Ned Hannegan, a character then of considerable note In that vici.iity, became the volunteer editor. In those days politics in the West afforded anything but smooth sailing, and local papers were conducted upon the "high-pressure" principle. For some cause the "able" editor continued in his chair for only two weeks, when Mr. Storey took tull editorial charge.

For the want of promised support from tho party, the paper continued to exist for only one year, and went down with all of the money that Mr. Storey bad invested in it. His next venture was a drug store, which he regarded as the best source of wealth at that time, but after it was established tbe public health continued to Improve, and so at tho end of two years the business ended too. Tho Northern iJemocrat was then started, which was continued for six months under that name, and then consolidated with the Xocniii, a paper located and published at Mishawaka. Mr.

Storey assumed the editorship of the consolidated journal, but, owing to the management of bis partners and the poverty of tho Democratic party, that paper also ceased to be after a period of eighteen months. Kemoving to Jackson, he entered upon the study of tho law in theofficeof his brother-in-law, who was. then Clerk of the county and enjoyed an Influence politically which was not incousidcrable. Soon after he was appointed to tbe ollice of Deputy County Clerk, but still continued bis law studies for a period of two years. In the meantime ho was active in politics, with no ultimate intention ot becoming cither a politician or following the profession of tho law.

At the solicitation of the active elements of the Democratic party he established the Jackson Patriot. Under his editorial and business management that paper became a success, and etill continues to be published in that name. His editorials aided largely in advancing the successful campaign which elevated James K. Polk to the Presidency. As a recognition of his services the President appointed him Postmaster at Jackson in 1846.

Upon the election of Gen. Taylor to the Presidency he was retired. An incident occurring ut this tfme is not without Interest. In the Cabinet of President Taylor was Mr. Coliamer of Vermont as Postmaster-General, and, being a brother-in-law of a brother of Storey, an effort was made to retain him in tho position of Postmaster at Jackson, but the stronger pressure of party considerations determined i The most beautiful, comfortable, and absolutely tit best rink in the whole country.

The $15 rate to Chicago by the Erie, West Shore, and Lackawanna continues. There were abundant rumors of impending changes today, the one most current being that the New York Central bad ordered a rate of 15. This proved to be without foundation. Should this road make the rate the roads now selling at that figure would make the 1.50 differential reduction. The New York Central announced that the one-cent-per-mile reduction would until further notice apply to stations on the Auburn Division.

The West Shore today ordered the sale of tickets at one cent per mile from stations between New York and Albany to points beyond Albany, and this wiil probably be met by the Central at once. holders in National banking institutions in New York have become alarmed at the situation and are anxious to withdraw their capital and divide the surplus. Officials of the Treasury state that the publication was accurate in almost every instance, but the Controller of the Currency declines to make public dates of expiration of charters until bis annual report is submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, which wiil be within a few days. This report will contain tbe list of all tbe National banks whose charters expire during 1885, together with the date of expiration. It is not believed that the larger portion of the New York banks will wind up their affairs during the year, or that any considerable number of them will continue under State charters.

There are said to be many banks in the country at large whose capital stock is held by nonresident and non-productive stockholders. The managers of these institutions are desirous of extending the corporate existence of their banks without tbe aid of these non-productive stockholders, and in many instances old banks whose charters expire during the coming year will continue with new names and with the stock in possession of holders who will give more strength to the institution. aiiace st, 214 it or Thirty-seventh st, 1. 24 dated Oei. 27 (Catuarina McCatfery to Kdmond Hough) 5(J0 SOUTH OF ciTV LIMITS WITHIN A APICS Or SEVXX MILES OF THK CUI'KT-HOt St Fortv-sevenih Ft.

Youngstown, Oct. 27. Special. The United States Express Company in this city is endeavoring to obtain a clew to a robbery which occurred here last week. Last Monday a package containing $7,500 was consigned by a bank in New Lisbon to the United States Ex cluding the 2d day ot November next, the injunction applied for is refused." An official of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, commenting on the decision, said that he supposed the Baltimore Ohio would now accept the inevitable.

It was stated that General Manager Pugb is absent from the city, and that no action in regard to the reissue of the orders withdrawing trains would be made until his return. The matter of discontinuing freight connections with the Baltimore Ohio had not, it was stated, been taxen into consideration. Pittsburg. Oct. 27.

Special. There is said to be a movement on foot by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to buy up ail the available stock of tho Baltimore Ohio Company with the view of eecuriug a voice in the election of the next Baltimore Ohio President. The election will take place some time during January. The object is to defeat tho Garrett faction. A prominent railroad-man here stated today that he had met several persons from New York and Philadelphia in Pittsburg during the last ten days who were anxious to find auy Baltimore Ohio stock that could be purchased at anything like tne market value.

Their work is done so much on the sly that it has been almost impossible to get the inside facts of the case. It has been pretty definitly learned," said a gentleman prominent in railroad circles, 44 that those who have been paying visits to Pittsburg and other Western cities, trying to purchase Baltimore Ohio stock, are in the employ of the Pennsylvania Company. A movement of this kind has been on loot for almost a year, I have been told, but since the death of President Garrett it has been pushed more vigorously. The Garrett faction have for years been able to control all of the stock held by the City of Baltimore. This was done to a great extent by the personal influence of Mr.

Garrett, but since his death it is rumored that youug Garrett, who is temporarily filling tne place of his father, will not be able to control as much of the Baltimore City stock as did his father. As the story goes, the Pennsylvania Railroad will make a desperate effort to gobble up this stock, or at least to control it, and, should they be successful, the Pennsylvania Company, aided by the anti-Garrett faction, will be able to dictate to some extent who shall be the President of the Baltimore Railroad. Of course the Pennsylvania Company doesn't expect to put one of its own men into the position, but it does expect, from what I can learn, to e.ect a President who is anti-Garrett. The Baltimore City stock is very valuable, and the city will not part with it except at a fair price. One argument used by those who believe the Pennsylvania Company will be successful is that the Pennsylvania is more enterprising and liberal in its policy, and that this one fact will have a great influence with the people of Baltimore."

The General Managers and other general officers of the various roads running west, nortnwest, and southwest from the city will meet at Commissioner Midgley's oflice tomorrow to consider the adoption of a new agreement regulating the issue of free passes and other free transportation to shippers and merchants on account of business. There waj such an agreement last year, but the roads failing to come to terms regarding its renewal, each road has been at liberty thus far this year to act as it pleased. As lately nearly all the Western pools have been reorganized, it is now necessary to enter into a new-ngreement regulating the issue ot free transportation, as the present way of doing interferes with the successful carrying out of the pools. The General Freight Agent of the Wabash informs agents and connections that hereafter they should be governed by the following instructions when pro-rating to or from points on or reached via the Chicago West Michigan Railway: There is no transfer charge at La Porte, on business in car-lots. No deduction is necessary when pro-rating on less than car-lots.

Storey went to Europe, and while there ho had a stroke of paralysis which is believed to have had a direct effect upon the brain. He returned in August of that year, and seemed completely broken down in health, and is said to have been seen at one time weeping and sobbing like a woman. He looked very pale and weak. After the lapse of a few months he appeared at the Times office, and it was then noticed that his face was drawn on one side, ana he walked with great difficulty. He gave some testimony in court along about this time which plainly indicated tljat his mind was losing its vigor.

He became interested in tho alleged doings of spiritualistic mediums, and in May, 18S0, when he was about to go to a summer-resort, he asked his manager, Mr. Patterson, to find for him a place where there was plenty of water, woods, and trees, as such a spot had been designated by the spirits as the best cure for the pain in his head. But it is believed that Mr. Storey's real affliction dates beyond the trip to Europe, for his business manager noticed evidences of mental weakening iu 1876, when he suddenly started an afternoon paper and began running it at a dead expense ot $1,000 a week, which he ran for three months, and ilnally stopped as suddenly as he had started it. The paralytic stroke came upon him at Berne, Switzerland.

With the exception of a period of about three months directly following his return from Europe, Mr. Storey visited the Times office regularly until the spring of 1882. About this time be began writing editorials for tho paper which he insisted upon printing in a variety ot large and small types. They were written upon such topics as 6prmg advertising and the like, ami excited some comment. He opened tho summer at Geneva Lake and on his return to the city made but a few calls at his newspaper oflice, but received a shock from a cold bath in October of 1882 which put an end to the visits altogether.

After that he was hopoleslyan invalid. He could not remember the names of his business manager aud managing editor, and when they were mentioned said he did not know who they were. In short, his physician became convinced that he was suffering from paretic mania. Despite the best of treatment las malady grew upon him until he becamo a perfect imbecile, unable to speak or write. The fall of 1883 he was removed to an institution in Philadelphia for treatment i tor softening of the brain, but the process was finally abandoned and ho was brought to Chicago to await the end.

About tho middle of last August legal proceedings were begun by Mrs. Storey, which were followed by Mr. A. L. Patterson, tbe busiuess manager ot tho paper, together with tho heirs, endeavoring to secure the appointment, of a conservator upon the ground that the distinguished editor was a distracted person.

The case was hotly contested by Mrs. Storey through her attorneys, but the evidcuco proved the case conclusively, and a verdict to the effect that ho was distracted was returned by a jury iu the Probate Court Aug. 23 last. Mr. A.

L. Patterson was then appointed conservator by Judge Knickerbocker, but his ward was permitted to remain in the custody of his wife, who was al. lowed per month for tbe expense of. car PER BARREL. HICKSON'S press Company, to be delivered to a bank in Pittsburg.

The package was received here at 5:30 p. m. and checked into the United States Express office. After all the packages had been checked Chief Clerk Mikesell turned for a moment to attend to another matter, and then, picking up the packages, placed tbem in the safe. When the messenger left for Pittsburg Monday night it was fouud that the package was not in the safe, and only the way-bill was left, showing that such a package bad been in the office.

The officers have as yet obtained no clew to the mystery. Detectives are engaged on the case. THE CtSTOM-HOUSE REPORT. The receipts of dutiable goods at the Cus-lom-IIouse were: C. Hitnrod 200 tons pig-iron; Marshall Field J9 cases dry goods; Kudolph Birn, 1 case woodenware; H.

25, over The Dispute Between the Baltimore fc Oliio and. Illinois Central ltcjiartfinjr the Former's Use of the Illinois Central Tracks. Mr. Samuel Spencer, Second Vice-President, and Mr. Orland Smith, Third Vice-President of tho Baltimore Ohio, arrived here yesterday to have a conference with the officers of the Illinois Central reearding tho renewal of the lease for using the Illinois Central tracks and grounds between Grand Crossing and tho Central depot.

As already stated there is a dispute between the Illinois Central and the Baltimore Ohio regarding the life of the lease. The Illinois Central claims that the lease, which was made Nov. 1, 1879, was for five years, and consequently terminates Nov. 1 next. The Illinois Central, therefore, in accordance with the stiputntions of the lease, notified the Baltimore Ohio that unless a renewal of the lease was made by Nov.

1 it would no longer be permitted to use the Hlinois Central tracks and terminal facilities-. The Illinois Central also notified the Baltimore Oiiio that it. had selected Mr. L. H.

C'iark. Chief Engineer of the Lake Shore, as one of the arbitrators to determine the value of tbe freight depot on the lake-front, the stipulation being that in case of expiration of the lease the vaiueof the nepot should be determined by arbitration, the Illinois Central naming one, the Baltimore 4c Ohio another, and. if tho two failed to agree, they to select a third one. Tte Baltimore Ohio claimed that the lease tho matter against him, with the result already stated. The I'atriot, of which he bad been the editor and manager, was.

disposed of at tbe time of bis appointment as Postmaster, and at the conclusion of bis official services he again entered into tbe business of a druggist, and his stock included books, stationery, and a large miscellaneous list of a kindred char-actor. This enterprise was successful. Still continuing to take an active part in politics, ho was selected as a candidate for member of the State Constitutional Convention. There was bitter opposition to bis election, which developed into a coalition of all the opposing elements under the popular leadership ot Gov. Uluir.

who was also a candidate. The contest was earnest and spirited, very possible effort luing niad to secure his deleat, but the result showed that Mr. Storey was elected by a majority of several hundred. That convention trained the organic law which is uow in operation in that state. Upon the adoption of the norkof the convention by tho people Mr.

Storey was appointed to tho position 0 tbo state Prison, which 1,850 "TANSILL'S PUNCH" 5c Cigars. WM. M. DALlf Druggist, 2f. E.
