Opinions of Officials as to the Probable Lifact on the Department BIOGRAPHICAL. THE CAREER OF A SENSATIONAL BUSINESS MAN. MILwAtKEE Oct. at-rest in Chicago of Frank R. Sherwin, formerly of this city.

on charge of complicity in certain frauds in New York committed several years ago. revives a local interest in the man's history. He has had a career of startling and sensational episodes in business life as well as in persoual experiences. He began bis bushiest" life in Northhampton. where he opened a dry-goods store before be was 21.

years of age. Even then ois methods of business were sensational and conducted on toe broad-gage Style. lie sold out in 11 r.f, and went to New York with a casti capital of a few thousand dollars. In Ibis field Sherwin essayed to be a specuiator. but be soon departed watt his little cumuli.

and turned his attention to the mercantile bustuess in the West as held for enterprislig noerattons. With two partners he located in Mil wauaee. Tee firm never possessed a lance eash capita. but Sherwin made a magnificent showing. and toe first year the sales were said to be over ilk).

His partners retired and Sherwin once more went to New York. and mere be enicred upon one of toe most audacious mercantile schemes ever recorded. Setting up as the great rival of A. 'P. Stewart ec be somehow obtained goods lo almost unlimited quanta-les.

but in two weeks his concern was obliged to close its doors. He then went into Wall street without a dollar. and in a short time W54 at the bead of a gorgeous banking-house. Thence came the alleged embezzlement ut State funds, etc. Sherwin was placed in Ludlow street Jail, and remalueit a long time under SiOsits) bail.

The amount was finely reduced and a boodstnan found. Sherwin next turned up to Europe. where be pursued a brilliant career as a banker in Londou. During the excitement incident to the electoral coutests in li be appeared on the stage as an active political worker in Florida. He returned to London and lived bite a millionaire.

It was during this prosperous era that be made the acquainutuce Of the Amsterdam capitalists who omen the title, obtained through foreclosure ot mortgage. to the Maxwell grant. a tract ot some 600,000 acres in Northeastern New Mexico. lie inificed them to to Olin an interest, the Presidency of the cotnpany, and liberal financial tatanties for developing the property. He took up his residence on the grata, and has since been living in princely magnificence on the tympany; priocipal ranch near Cimarron, N.

M. His tirst wife. who lilted with bial during his Milwaukee career. and was weii-KnOW3 here. died in Paris three or four years ago.

Last soring Sherwin began to pay mark, a tenuons to a daughter of ex-Gov. Gilpin, of Colorados but his suit was frowned upon by the father of the young lady. who desired to marry her to another wooer, and sent net to Baitimore to get her out of Sherwin's way. The young lady wrote to Sherwin telling Mtn of her father's plans, and Sherwin followed her to Baltimore. Their elopement and romantic marriage formed a midsummer sensation whico furnished a theme for continent in irossip-loving newspaper from one end of the country to the other.

An Opening and a Cel'Isien. SEW YORK, OM New York, West Shore Buffalo Railroad was opened today. and it is expected will be completed to Buffalo by November. A large force of workmen is engaged on the unfinished line from Syracuse to Buffalo. The officers of the corn-pans- said yesterday that the business of the road bad been satisfactory, but they expected a large increase with the completion of the terminal facilities at New York.

The road would then be in a position to handle a large amount of freight watch it was now inconvenient to accept. The plea-aim of the officers at the opening of the line tomorrow was marred before MO day was over by the announcement of a coltision between two local trains near the west end of the Diepenclary Hill between and Fort l'iain. The only particulars received at the company's office were that two persons bad been killed and two engines and a number of cars wrecked. It is said to have been the first accident to a passenger train that has happened since the opening of the road. The New Standard Time to Be Adopted by the Convention In This City Oct.

11. Mr. P. Wright, Chairman of the General Time Convention of Railroad Managers. in fils call for the fairmeeting, to be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel, in this city, Thursday, Oct.

11, says: The system of Uniform standard time recommended for adoption at the meeting of this convention anti of the Southern Railway Time Convention, held last April, has been submitted to the several Companies by the Secretary. The managers of about 60,000 miles of road have already voted in the affirmative on both questions submitted. There are practically no negative votes. It is proposed that final action on this subject shall be taken at tete ineetinix." The proposition is to divide the whole country into five divisionsthe Iutercolonial, 60 degrees west from Greenwich; the Eastern, 75 degrees west from Greenwich; the Central, 90 degrees west from Greenwicb; tbe Nlouutain, 105 degrees west from Greenwich; and the l'acihc, 120 degrees west from Greenwicb. Each division.

it will be observed. is nfteen degrees apart, which makes just elle hour in time. At present there are fifty different standards of time in use on the various roads in this country. which causes much annoyance and trouble. By the new arrangement there will be but eve standards.

each one hour apart, which will greatly simplify matters if adopted. Nearly all the roads in this country and Canada have already recorded their vote in favor of the new proposition, and it is therefore quite certain that it will be adopted. But one vote has been received which Is positiveiy In the negative, and that was from a local road in Cattadit. The following roads have not yet recorded their vote on tbe new proposition: Chicago Northwestern, Chicago. linqington Quincy, Cnicago.

Milwaukee tSt. Paul. Delaware. Lackawanna a-, Western. Illinois Central, Kansas City.

Se jostipa Council Bluffs, and Richmond Danville, making, with their dependent lines. about miles of road. Prominent officers of those roads have expressed tnemselves personally as favoring the new system and its use upon their lines, prove-ling it is generally adopted. The proposition to divide the clock dials in twenty-four bours instead of 12 hours a. tn.

and 12 boors 1). En. as at present will alai) be discussed. By this arrangement 1 o'clock p. m.

would be 13 o'clock and 12 o'clock p. m. 24 o'ciock. It is argued in suoport of this eroposithin that the present arrangement of designating the tirst 12 hours of the day as a. m.

and the last 12 hours as p. tn. leads to much contusion. and under the new system no mistakes can be made between a. m.

and p. tn. It is hardly probable. however, that this last named proposition will go through. ments of household goods or emigrant movables in car-load lots or less quantities delivered to it at Upper Sandusky unless treight charges are prepaid through to destination.

Mr. William S. Mellen. General Freight Agent of the Chicago Northwestern, hasiissued a circular to agents, shippers. and conneCtions informing them that joint tariff No.

Milwaukee, Racine, Or Kenosha and Pierre, on business to and from trading points end points on Missouri River above Pierre and below Bismarck has been withdrawn and canceled. A meeting of the members of the syndicate interested in the Seuth Pennsylvania Railroad (the line which is projected in the Vanderbilt interest in the soutnern part of Pennsylvania) was held yesterday in New York.

No important action was taken. The contracts for the building of the seven large tunnels required on the.road will probably be given out in a snort time by the Amertcan Construction Company. which has Me contract for the completion of the road. Suit was brought in the United States Court at Memphis, today by H. Amy.

of New York. against the Memphis Charleston Railway for $16,000. The plaintiff is the holder of bonds issued by the old City of in aid of ouilding the Charleston Railway to the amount or the suit, and claims. among- other things. that the lease made by the stock boaters of the Charleston Railroad to the East Road was done to detraud the creditors of the road.

The East Tennessee, Virginia Georgia Company is made codeleadaut to the suit. One of the main line income bondholders of the Ohio Central Railroad has brought suit against the Um; the income bonds are a lien against the net earnings of the road after the payment of interest on the first mortgage bonds of the main Ilne. Morrison Kennedy. attorueys, of New York, have served the complaint in the case. For the present they decline to give the name of their client.

The anplainant prays for an accounting, and makes the additional claim that the Directors of the company are persoually responsible. as Trustees for its mortgage, for any further payments which may have been made. It is not yet certain that Mr. John C. Gault will be the Commissioner of the new California pool of the Pacific roads.

He has notified the officials of tile roads of his willingness to accept the position. provided be need not make his headquarters at San Francisco, his wife's health not permitting her to reside on the Pacific Const. So far Mr. Gault has not heart from the officials of the Pacific roads, and it is understood that the Union and Central Pacific desire to have one office of the Commissioner in San Francisco. If Mr.

Gault declines the position it is quite likeiy that it will be tendered to Mr. C. C. Wheeler. late General Manager of the Atchison, Topeka Santa F.

But it is by no means certain that Mr. Wheeler would be any wore willing to move to San Francisco than Mr. Gault. The Local Committee of Passenger Agents of the Chicago east-bound roads held a meeting yesterday at Chairman Moores office and agreed upon the following special rates to meetings, con veutions, Universalist tate Conveotion to be held at Detroit, Oct. 9, 10, anu II, round-trip tickets will oe sold at one and one-third fare on railroad orders obtainable through Mr.

What a picture of one of the most striking features of modern life is afforded by the simple statement that no Sewer than 2,200 trains leave the stations of London every twenty-tour hours. Every hour between 10 in themoraing and II at night 1,600 trains start for the various railway termini in Londonthat is, at the rate of 120 and more every hour, or two a minute, all day long, not including the trains on me Metropolitan and Metropolitan District. Of the 2.200 trains dispatched daily, 1,750 serve the suburbs and a suburban region of thirty miles around the city.

Fifteeu leave for Seotlapd and Ireland and sixteen for the continent. Three hundred and twelve trains start from Victoria. from Liverpool street, and 295 from Broad street; such, at least. is the calculation of the statistician of the Revue Genercte des Chemins de k'er, from which these nwures are taken. NVhat a living tide tnus surges daily in and out of the great heart of me Empire.

tor as many trains arrive as depart, and the motion to and fro is never stilled. The Milwaukee Sentinel says: Nearly a month ago the resignation of W. G. Swan as Superintendent of freight traffic of the Milwaukee St. Paul Railway was received by Manager S.

S. Merrill. For some reason all information was kept within the walls of the manager's office until within the last few days. when orders were given that Mr. Swans name be omitted on circulars issued from the freight department.

and which had before had his name attached to them, be being ale chief nicer of that department. No circular announcing the lesignation has been issued. and the announcement herein made by the Sentinet is the first information given to the public concerning the transaction. No appointmeet tor the vacant office is to be made at present' Granting that an appointment is to be made sooner ur later. several railway men were yesterday questioned as to who wouiu be the fortunate gentleman.

The general belief is that the place will be filled by a promotion. in wine case numerous other promotions in tne St. Paul' general freight offices would follow. The NIckel-Pfate and Vstriderbillit. NEW YORK.

Oct. story that the bonds of the Nickel-Plate Railroad possessed voting powers was said today by a Director to be truebnly when they were registered. The bonds were voted according to their value. In other words, a bond for allowed the holder to cast ten votes. The par value of a share of the stock was t100.

The share counted one vote. As to a vote of the bondholders. as a dispatch from Philadelphia said, to take the road out of the Vanderbilt interest. the Director declared that to be impossible. Only one third of the Directors went out next May.

The bonds were widely scattered, and probably a majority were held by friends of the present nianagement. Then, again. three-fourths of the stock would unquestionably be 8 tendily voted in favor of the Vanderbilt ticket. It was absurd to suppose that Mr. Vanderbilt went into the Nickel-Plate leaving any loophole.

If there bad been any doubt on the point it wonid have developed in a conversation the other day with W. K. Vanderbilt, the President, wherein the subject of the control of the road was brought up. BOSTON. THE RUSII FOB TRE NEW ISSIT-E.

BORTON, Oa. LSuectal. JThe two-cent postage caused quite a boom. Just after 12 this morning 10,000 notices were mailed by the Union Pacific Railway, thus saving At 9 a. m.

much persistent patience and endurance were necessary before one could get to the stamp-dispensers at the glass orifice, who were unequal to the emergency. It is estimated that on ordinary days pass through the post-office corridors. Today at least double that number crowded by Uncle Sam's Nvicket windows. At 6 p. tn.

there was almost an utmanageable crush. Three men. one more than usual, are on duty retailing stamps, and one man deals them out by wholesale. When busmess Degan tuts morning the main office had on band 100,000 old twos. 2,000,000 new twos, and 1,000,000 new fours.

The orders were to dispose of the old twos before the new stamps Nye re placed on sale. Buyers did not seent to understand this arrangement, and everylmily except a few exceptionally intelligent individuals who remembered what they had read in the morning papers bothered the clerks with monotonous interrogations on this point, but the statups went off i great rapidity. Shortly after t3 tn. the old twos had been disposed of. in many cases in large lots.

and the reign of the new stamp then began. The new four-cent stamp sells comparatively slow. THE TURF. No ITABEAS CORPUS. StIEEWIN DISUSES TUE PROCEEDINGS-The habeas corpus case of Frank R.

Sherwin, the wealthy rance-owner, who was arreated by ths city detectives Friday and turned over to the Pinkerton by Jadge Barnum, did not come up before Judge Rogers yesterday morning as announced. The Pinkertons, it will be remembered, had Sherwin in custody on two bail-pieces, and were acting for E. M. Knox. his bondsman.

while the city officers wanted Sherwin on some indictments found in Albany, N. Y. Detective Palmer, of the latter force, was piping" the Tremont Rouse yesterday morning in order to keep track of Sherwin for the beuefit of Detective Meade, of Albaoy, who was at headquarters waiting for the Governor's warrant to come from Springfield. He naturally supposted Sherwin would be taken into court, and was prepared to arrest him in the event of his discharge. But, instead of appearing personally, Mr.

Emery A. Storrs, Sherwin's attorney, sent a note to edge Barnum requesting him to diamiss the writ, and it was done, Sherwin being remanded to the custody of the Pinkertous. Palmer. of course, was ignorant of this, and be toilowed the hack to the "'never sleep" ()thee Oil Fifth avenue. There alr.

Daniel Munn. Knox's representative. and Sherwin went upstairs ana down againthat is, in at the front door ana out of the back, wnere another back was in waiting. Suet-win and Operative Powers. whe was the agent of Knox, jumped into this vehicie and drove off, where no one knows.

After waiting a long time on the front sidewalk Palmer learned ot tee order of Judge Barnum, and, seeing teat be was beaten. went back to headquarters. A bail-Piece is superior to a warrant or an indictment, and so long as Knox or his agent holds on to sherwin the authorities cannot toucti him without being trinity of contempt of court. So, even if the city officers find rtherwin, which is not likely. they cannot arrest him.

and Detective Meade will nave to go back to Albany without his man. HISTORICAL. It appears that Sherwin was a banker in Albany some years ago. and got mixed up in the trunsactions of one Phelps. Deputy State Treasurer, who speculated throuirn Sherwin's office.

The latter was sutiputnaed as a witness against him, but tailed to appear. Thereupon the grand jury indictee him for criminal contempt, and he was arrested. lie tried to wet out on a habeas corpus, but the writ was dismissed. Application was for a stay of proceedings pendtng an appeal, and it was granted, Sherwin being admitted to hall on two indictment. The Supreme Court decided avaiust bun, and he took the case to the Court of Appeals.

Knox becoming his surety. He forfeited his bonds, which amounted to 13.5I10, and, having become rich. Knox went for him. The bail-pieces were put in Pinkerton's bands not long ago, and Operative Powers was sent to New Mexico to capture Sherwin, who is, or was, President of the Maxwell Land-Grant Campany, a corporation in which N. K.

Fairbank and Cyrus 11. McCormick, of this city, are interested. and which has an estate of 1,714.785 acres in New Mexico and Colorado. Powers found on his arrival that Sherwin bad left for Chicago. so he telegraphed William Pinkerton, and shadows' were keeping track of siberwin when the city detectives took him in on the Albany telegram.

CIVIL DEBTS OWED BY sHERWIlle. The impression is that Sherwin owes a large sum of taoney in Albany, and that the anxiety of ItIO authorities there to get hold of him is in part at least due to a desire to help his creditors coliect what is due them, though there are foes iudictments against him besides the two for contempt. but what offenses the others cearge 18 unenowte In addition to the ta.atte due on the bonds Sherwin owes Knox $17,000, which be is now likely to get. If, after paying the Sherwin goes to Canada and thence to Europe, tits other creditors wilt not be apt to go after titintbey cannot with any of tee indietmenteand. Sherwin being worth over 500,000, can afford to live abroad the remainder of nis days and enjoy his money.

Ttte detectives at the Central Station deny that they are now after Sherwin, and declare that if they had wanted him they could and would have got him in spite of any private detective agency. Nevertheless, it is understood that the Albany officers are very anxious to get the rich ranch-owner in their custody, and that the city detectives would Ilelp them it they could. The Albany officers expressed an OldeettOti to talking about the case. and are keeptng out of the way as much as possible. Mr.

Schi inpfermann, the Chicago wine dealer, yesterday swore Out an attachment againit Mr. beerwin, the millionaire ranch tnan, tor a debt of ta-at tor goods delivered in ItS1.

The 2:20 class: SUMMARY. TN CHICAGO. A STEADY DEMAND BET NO GREAT TIUSIT. The advent yesterday of the new two-cent potar-staiip, which is henceforth to take the place of the old three-cent stamp that has held sway so many years. was marked by no special.features other than those growing Out of the curiosity of the people at every similar ienevation on the part of the GovernIfient.

The fact that the change in letter postage was to he made yesterday was very generally known, anti plenty of time naving been given people to provide for it, there was nothing sensational or exeiting ahout the event. When the wholesale and retail departments were opened at 8 o'clock-In the imputing there was a little larger crowd than usually appears. Monday mornLkg outside the wholesale windows, but there was no great rush for first place. Thii as perhaps owing to the fact that it had been given out that about 200,000 of the (11t-st3 tw'o-eent stamps that were on hand wamiti-be given out before any of the new Ones were disposed of. And that was Postmaster Palmer's original intention.

But remembering tne curiosity of the people, and the likelihood of a general desire to get a It tek at the new stamps he changed the order an istructed the elerks to sell applicants for small amounts the new stain ps and to those who desired quantities Old and new stamps. The result vas that all wholesale pit rehasers sere given a portion or all new stamps, and no tiissatisfactiou or bad feeling was engendered. WAs NO 1P.t.411. As the (lay advanced the lines approaching the wholesale stamp-window grew perceptihly Itinger. but at no tune was there a crush.

All were patient, and as a matter of course they were or more easily served. The only causes of disappeintinent noted yvere that there were no tour-cent stamps, and that the suphly of No. :) plain two-cent stamped envelopes ran out early. The applications for the four-cents vere so numerous that it was round necessary to post a eutsale of tne window that there were no four-cent stamps on sale. Just why there were none of this denomination N'as not explained, but it was thought that the uota to be issued the Chicago othee would be along in a few days.

The callers at the retail stamp department Who expected to get new stamps were somew hat dtsappoiuted, tor a 'very Plainly-printed sige conveyed the information that no new stain ps would be sold until tile supply of old ones gave out. But the old issue was found to be or as much value as the new gone, and the department drove thriving trade during business hours. INCREASED RECEIPTS. The change to a two-cent postage rate has had the eitret of making the receipts ot the Chicago office tor stamps durirri the last month cousitterably larger than tor any pre-ions Inknth, ONilIC: to the fact that businesS houses that usually purchased large quantities of three-cent request envelopes ceased buYtru: them some weeks ago, in order that they would not be caught with any tin hand when the two-cent rate vent into in their stead purchased stamps just as they needed tlieng Accol (tingly yesterday tumid all dealers decidedly short in the matter fit postage, and large orders were the rule. Atter a very busy day, which closed at o'clock in Elie the chief clerk of the stamp department tound that his total stamp sales amounted to a much larger stun than had ever been received bY the office before in a single day.

Of this amount was tor tvo-cent stamps. of that denomination having been disposed of. Auditor Upham caleulated that as the ptevious Sale Of txo-cent stain ps had hten about a day, that tne depart-runt had lost one cent on stamps, or But on the other hand he figured that had the change not heen made that the anion it of stamps sold would not have been nearly so large.

IN DOUBT AS TO THE EFFECT ON TRE REVENUES. WASHINGTON, D. Oct. 1.Special. Post-office officials are in doubt as to the effect of the reduced letter-rate on the postal revenues.

The general estimat3 is that it will result in a reduction, although those who are most earnest in urging the two-cent rate are of opinion that the increase in correspondence which will be encouraged by the reduction of postage will have the effect to at least maintain the revenues at the former standard. The officials expect that it will be some weeks before this question will be settled. The sales of the new postage and stamped envelope at the city post-office Saturday was as follows: Twenty thousand one-cent, 20,000 two-cent, 5.000 live-cent, and '4000 10-cent. Today the sales were as follows: Sixty thousand two-cent stamps. 9,000 two-cent stamped envelopes, and 500 four-cent envelopes.

No one-cent stamps were sold today. The Post-Office Department has refused to exchange threes for twos for private citizens. The cost tor the manufacture of the stamps is nine cents Der sheet of The Government would lose that by exchanging without reduction. Besides, the clerical force in most post-offices is inadequate to the additional labor Nvhich would become necessary if there was to be a general exchange. Fare Reduced on the Iron Mountain.

Sr. Louts, Oct. LFrom and after today passenger fares to points in Missouri on the Iron Mountain Road will be reduced from four to three cents per mile and to all points in Arkansas fram five to three cents per mile. This is a reduction of 13 from St. Louis to Little Rock and 6.40 to Texarkana aria all points In Texas reached via the Iron Mountain.

This makes a uniform rate of three cents per mile in the three States of Missouri. Arkansas, and Texas. It also makes a lower rate from here to local points than charged by toe Texas st Louis Road for corresponding distances to local points, and the Iron Mountain will continue to meet any rate made by the Texas St. Louis to common points. The rate to San Francisco by the Texas Pacific route is also lowered 3.85 by this arrangement.

NEW YORK, Oct. case of Frank It- Sherwin. whose arrest in Chicago Saturday last was such a surprise to himself and family, was brought to the attention of the Supreme Court, general term, today. Presiding Justice Davis aria Judge Brady were upon the bench.

The original charge against Sherwin dates back as far as 1873, wben he was indicted in Albauy for failing to appear in obedience to a subpoena in connection with the prosecution of Phelps, the defaulting New York State Treasury Cashier. Six indictments were found against him, but be was not tried. It was allerred that he had left the country tor Europe. A year ago be was arrested upon the old charge against him in this city and was taken before Judge Dononue upon a writ of habeas corpus. The Judge remanded Sherwin to the custody of an officer from Albany.

An appeal was taken to the general term of the Supreme Court. and the judgment was affirmed. In the meantime Sberwin gave ball. The appeal was tan to the Court of Appeals. and that court also at-firmed the decision of Judge Donohue.

and a remittitur was returned to the Supreme Court directing Sherwin to appear here and abide the order of the general term. The accused was to have appeared before the general term today, but failed to do so. That was owing to his arrest in Chicago upon a dispatcn from Albany. his counsel. Gen.

Henry E. Tremain. obtained an order today. returnable Friday next before the general term of the Supreme Court. to show cause why ail proceedings spould not be stayed.

Gen. Trernain went with this order before the general term and presented it. Mr. Moak, representing the District-Attorney of Albany, moved that the order should be vacated. Gen.

Treater deeia, ed that his client was expected here. and would have been Lere bad he not been arrested in Cbicago.

He bad telegraphed tor further particulers. but bad received none.

Gen. Trergain asked that toe court would defer the order tor his appearance. MOO grant'a stay Of proceedings in the meantime. Mr. Moak declared that there were all indictments against Sherwin, and that his arrest in Cbicsgo had no bearing 'win the proceedings here.

He believed it was Socrwia's intention. iustead of coming to this city. to go to Montreal wan his wife He asked that Slierwin's bad be forfeited and that Judge order be vecated.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.SpeciallDuring the early part of the year the rains Here were excessive. In the spring season it rained every day.

so that on some of the plantations for a space of six weeks a hoe could not be tiled in cutting out the weeds between the rows of young cane and cotton. Heavier and more frequent showers were needed than have fallen for many years. Since July, however, a dry season has set iu, and there has been but a single shower for three months. Now there is a water famine all over the State. The crops are bent and parched for want of moisture and all our staples.

except rice, nave greatly deteriorated as a result. In this city the cisterns of thousands of families have run dry, KEW water for cooking and drink tug bas to be carried from the river. In the past it has been customary for the hydrants of toe New Orleans Water- orks Company to be turned on, under direction of the street Department. to wash out the gutters and afford partial relief to the waterless. but today this was stopped by order of the court on an injunction sued out by the coin The Auxiliary Sattitary Association, a volunteer body who have expended many thousand dollars in erecting machinery tor Husalug tne gutters, have, as it in co6perittion with the water-works company, stopped working their pumps, thug adding to the general distress of the people.

This complication is for the purpose of forcing' into general use the water supplied by the water-works company, a monopoly which is enabled to charge and enforce exoruitant rates. There is a very biter feeling. SAN FRANCISCO. A 000p SToCTi ON HAND. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.

If the meeting at Ciucinnati today does not succeed la ficttling toe trouble a general attack will no doubt De made on freight rates not only to ludianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati, but also to all other Oak) River points and peluts beyond. The complications regarding tne mairit euance of Ohio River points are really more serious than those regarding passenger rates. and it 15 toe opinion of tnauy that tlat, war on passenger rates wa inaugurated for the principal purpose of Oringtug both freight and passenger affairs to a focus and to force tne estanlistunent ot a pool or traffic agreement On both classes of business. 'Ilse rigat to issue bills of ladiug and quote rates Irma the office of Pout-Manager Richardson has been withdrawn by all the Ohio River roads.

It appears that tne Eastern Jliiuois was not the first hue to withdraw but that toe Louisville. New Albany Chicago and tue l'an-Handle bid issued notices of withdrawal previeuSiy. Bills of lading are now sued directly troin the offices ot the various lines. As tar as Can be learned no open eut in rates has thus tar been made, but it is an open secret that rebates are being given by some or the roads on fourth and Special thisses. The Eastern DUMAS people say toey have no idea of cutting rates on Louisvine or Cincinnati business, as to reach those points they have to use the Kankakee Lute or tne Cincitinate, Hamilton Daytoll Roads.

and are therefore to be governed Dy tho Po-anon taken by those roads. But their line, they say, is the short-line to the South via Evansville, and it will meet any rates that its competitors way make via Clucinuati or Louts-aide. The Ohio River pool has not been carried out for several months. and since the witethawal of the right to issue bills ot lading from the office of the pool manager there is no longer any safeguard to prevent roads from cutting rates or giving rebates. It is generally admitted mat unteSSSonletiling is done quickly to prevent Me roads Haim cuttitig rates there will be serious troulde.

None ot the Ottio River roads desires a war on treight rates. because that would seriously diamlisn their reyenues, and but few of the joads are in a condition to staad such conflict very long. It is tor this reason that the war thus far has beeu kept eounned to the passenger business and was nut allowed to spread to freight rates. freigbt officials of the various roads as welt as Pool-Manager Richardson have gone to CinCitillati, expecting that freiziat as well as passeuger affairs will be considered at today's meeting. Neariy all tne roads seem opposed to use formation of another pool, but most of them favor tile inaratization ol a traffic agreement simitar to that or the Northwesiern Traffic Assocaition, by which each road can take all the busiuess it can secure at agreed rates, but heavy penalties are provided fur a violation of the agreement, anti the Commissioner is authorized in investigating charges to examine the books and records of the various rottos, parties to the agreement.

Sherwin is widely known in this section ea one of the millionaires of the West, and IS at tbe bead of one of the largest stock raising companies on the continent.The circumstances which led to his arrest as understood here sire as follows: In 1876 Sherwin wait sent to Florida by the National Committee in the interest of Hayek'. and beyond a doubt the Republican victory in Florida was largely due to Sherwin 's efforts.

He was soon thereafter appointed Pool Commissioner of several railroads in that State. one of which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Sherwin associated himself wile a syndicate of New York brokers, purchased toe mortgage bonds, foreclosed. and took possession.
