It Is said that all Baltimore Ohio South western offices in Louisville, with the exception ef those connected with the operating department, are to be abolished- Edward Richards has filed a suit for $1,000,000 Yif mages In the Federal Court at Obleage against the Grand Trunk, alleging Infringement on his patent grain-transferring apparatus. The Buffalo Committee failed of any agreement upon anthracite rates yesterday, and the consideration of lake and rail rates appointed for to-day, has been postponed until next Friday.

When the American Railway Association was organised 10 years ago it comprised P4 companies; now it includes 235 companies, operating nearly four times as many miles of road as in 1886. The Canadian Pacific expects to begin running trsiBS into Hamilton via the Grand Trunk about the middle of July, making connections there with the Toronto, Hamilton -Buffalo for Buffalo. It Is understood that President p. B. Thomas of the Erie has been asked to become the fifth member of the Board of Control of the Westlnghouse General Elect rlo companies, and has consented.

The relations of the Columbus, Hocking Valley Toledo and the Ohio Central have become so strained. It i said, that both are likely to withdraw from the Central Passenger Committee and engage in a rate fight. If one goes oat, the other will be sure to do so. Danna Crura, one of the oldest and best known conductors on the Erie, died Wednesday at his home in Eimira, aged 60 years.

The engineer was William Jones, and the fireman John Plck'ey. Both feel very proud of the record and the engine that made it. The Burlington A Missouri River has taken an appeal from the decision of Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas-senger Association to the effect that the Southern Pacific has no right to appoint, as its agents, the agents of other roads in witnessing the signatures of buyers of signature tickets.

It asserts that when the agreement was made it was tbe understanding that the Southern Pacific should continue this practice and that the Chairman now errs in ruling to tbe contrary. The name of the Columbus. Lima Milwaukee has been-changed to Michigan, Ohio Southern. Tbe company will absorb all the Interests and property of the West Virginia, Ohio Western; Columbus, Lima Milwaukee; Detroit Toledo Short Line; Central Michigan; Michigan Ohio Belt Line, ai several other short railroads in Michigan and Ohio, thus connecting the coal fields of West Virginia and Ohio with the lakes. Work will begin at once on the portions of the road from Columbus to Defiance and from Detroit to Toledo.

General Traffic Manager Taro Adacbl, Superintendent T. HIraoca, and Engineer S. MImura of the Nippon Tetsudo Kwalsha, Japan, are on their way East from Vancouver, and Inspecting American roads. The visitors are making this trip In the interests of the transportation companies in Japan, of which they represent the largest. They consider Americans the most progressive people, and look to this country for improvements in engineering science.

They will visit San Francisco. Salt Lake Olty, Denver, Kansas Olty, St. Louis, Chicago, and Xew York, studying the railroad systems, and win then embark for Liverpool, England. A meeting of the Western roads has been called for next Thursday to consider tbe payment of commissions to agents of roads- running personally conducted excursions to transcontinental territory. Some of the roads running these excursions assert that they have the right to pay these agents such salary and commission as they like, as long as they are their regular employees.

On the other hand, It contended that agents accompanying these excursions should receive no higher commissions than that laid down in the schedule for the payment of commissions by the roads of tbe Western Passenger Association. The Canadian Pacific takes IU transpacific business to Vancouver. The Southern Parlflc takes its ocean business to San Francisco. Though the ocean rate is the same from both ports there Is a difference of $10 In the through fare from New York to Australia over the two routes and the difference is in favor of the Canadian Pacific and Vancouver. So the Southern Pacific asks American roads to fix matters up so that the Canadian road shall not have this advantage.

The Trunk Lines have already agreed to do so, provided the Western Passenger Association roads and the Transcontinental Association lines will do likewise.

Another Testimonial for Engineer Tuokcy FROM THE BROOKS WORKS Presented a Costly Gold Watch for Breaking the World's Speed Record General Intelligence from the Highways of Traffic Dunkirk, April 17.

(Special.) The presr ident's office of the Brooks Locomotive Works was the scene this morning of a very en joy sole meeting upon the occasion of the presentation to Engineer William Tunkey of the Lake Shore, by the Brooks Locomotive Works, of a very handsome watch gotten up by the Webb C. Ball Company of Cleveland. '1 hose present were David Russell, superintendent; H. Tandy, assistant superintendent; C. J.

Carney, engineer of machinery; T. M. Hequem-bourg, secretary F. H. Stevens assistant to the president, and Mr.

Gaines of the Ball Company. The outside oT the case has upon it a fine hand engraving of the "Record Breaker, No. 5(M," and on the inside is engraved; the following: "Presented by the Brooks Locomotive Works to WllHam Tunkey, who broke all previous speed records October 24, 1895, with Brooks 10-wneel engine No. 564, between Erie and Buffalo. Average speed 72.92 miles an hour.

Maximum speed 92.8 miles an hour." D. Everett, third grand engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was a visitor at the Brooks Locomotive Works, and upon the invitation of P. H. Stevens, assistant to the president, made the presentation to Mr. Tunkey in a very appropriate and graceful manner.

In doing so he said: Mr. Everett's Remarks. "It was a grand day in the history of the world when George Stephenson invented the locomotive. It was the key note that sounded forth the advancing march of civilisation. The world awoke as if from a mighty dream.

A new power had been discovered that was to revolutionize the trade and commerce of ail the nations of the earth, and from that hour to the present the locomotive has been Identified with every movement that was culculated to bring mankind together into a closer bond of union. We have not time on this occasion to attempt to describe what has been accomplished through the medium of the locomotive. It Is of such a character as to be aimot Incomprehensible to the human mind to even contemplate such a task. We ask, what would we do to-day without this wonderful agent that contributes so much to the welfare and happiness of humanity. The locomotive, so to speak, has become the carriage horse of every family in the land.

It stops at our very doors to take us to any part of the country we wish to go; we bang out the signal and it stops to take our children to school; we hang out the signal and it stops to take us to our business; we bang out the signal and It stops to take us to the bedside of some sick or dying friend. The locomotive has become In fact, the one great benefactor of the day in which we live. It employs thousands of workmen of all descriptions in its construction, from the miner who digs the ore to the master hand that puts the finishing stroke that completes the building of one of the beautiful and magnificent engines that glides over the steel railways of the land. It gives employment to very near 1,000,000 men In the transportation department In the distribution of traflle in North America alone to say nothing of what it does for the other countries of the world. England was astounded when Stephenson's engine called the 'Rocket' make 15 or 20 miles an hour.

But now after a lapse of about 70 years we find ourselves la a race with the mother country for speed. Fifteen or 20 mKes an hour wli! not suffice we want to travel with the speed of the lightning, or to use a phrase of the day. the passenger on a railway train starting from Chicago wants to press some mystic button and find himself tranRnorted into the great metro polis of Xew Verk the next moment, so great has become the desire for rapid transit. But as far as speed is concerned at this particular time, the wonderful demonstration made by the Brooks Locomotive No. 564, certainly is the most remarkable record that has ever been accomplished in the annals of American or European railways, and this firm has an honest and a Just cause to fee.

proud of this triumphant feat, performed by this sp.tndid engine, which on the 24th day of October, 1895. gave the Brooks Locomotive works a reputation that will long be remembered In the history of engine builders, as piaclng ir, frnnt rank of locomotive con struction. But just in proportion as their en gine developed a woaoenui i tiu manner thev have been determined to magnanimous and share the record of this brilliant result with the i n.Hiiur u-hn had the nerve and to ortve this engine at the marvelous speed of 92 3 miles per hour. This is In a great measure a very unusual and remarkable anair, ootn ior motive Works and to the engineer who made this famous run, wnere ooio iwm: tlngulshed for one of the most astounding f.t arromnlishpd In the history of the railway world, whereby both have engraven their names high upon the roll of fame In tne acnievenaeniu i "i so grandly characterizes the century nViliri n-A lira We have no desire to take one particle of the honor that belongs to tne oiner engineer. that participated in mis njaii-ui made by the Vanderblit Special on that famous October day.

Tunkey'a Response. Mr. Tunkey responded to Mr. Everett's presentation remarks as follows: Gentleraen-Thls Is truly a surprise to me. as I did not expect anything 0f this nature at this meeting.

Brady Got a Verdict Doctor's Bill Disputed. Late yesterday afternoon, James Brea- nan, Charles Baker an4 Henry Winters, were arraigned before County Judge Emery on the charge of grand larceny in the first rr aegree. xue men were arrested on a bench warrant which was placed in the hands of Detectives DerSne and Muckler to serve, Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clock. As the men had no settled place of abode, and as they had an idea that trouble was brewing for them, the work of the detectives in securing them necessitated some clever dealings. The detec tives did not succeed in getting their men until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when tbey secured them by having placed a careful watch on the haunts which it was known they frequented.

The charge is that they took $670 from Otto Ecbner in a place on Exchange Street last winter. Winters, who is a bartender, is a rather good looking fellow, and was attired in a neat fitting black suit. He wore the latest style of tan shoes, and looked at his father when the question of "his bail came up Judge Emery placed the bail of each at $2,000. Winters's father, who was present, and who was dressed like a laborer, said be would furnish bail for his son. The other men said that they culd 'also furnish bail.

Charles Thomas will defend them. Pending the furnishing of the bail, the prisoners were committed to jail. The case of Giochino'Constantino who was indicted on the charge of rifurder in the first degree, 'for the kilijng of Rosa Virga on, March 21, was ordered cent to the Supreme Court for trial. Henry Eckles, who is a shoemaker by trade, and against whom an indictment was reported last Thursday, charging him with burglary in the third degree, larceny in the second degree, and receiving stolen property, was arraigned in the Countv Court yesterday morning, and pleaded not guilty. Afterwards he withdrew this plea and pleaded guilty to the charge of petit larceny.

Judge Emery suspended sentence on him. Henry Hoffnieyer, who was indicted on the charge of breaking into a barn belonging to Edward Walsh and stealing a harness worth $50 therefrom, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Jennie Long, against whom an indictment was also reported last Thursday for grand larceny, second degree, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. William Ofiphant and Frederick Smith, charged with robbery in the first degree, in holding up James Ford and taking $44 from him on the night of March 30, pleaded not guilty when arraigned. Suit for Heavy Damage.

Yesterday afternoon a suit for $20,000 damages was begun in the Supreme Court before Justice Laughlin. The plaintiff is George Brown, the defendants are John and Thomas Charlton, who constitute the milling firm of J. T. Charlton of North Tonawanda. in which place all the parties to the suit live.

Brown alleges that prior to November. 1891, he worked for the Charltons in their mill. He was put to work at a machine which was known by the defendants to be in poor and imperfect condition. He says if they did not know it they could have found out very easily, and he. therefore, charges them with negligence in allowing him to go to work at the machine without warning him of the danger.

While at work at the machine, he alleges that owing to its imperfect condition, a knife became loosened and flew up, and hit him in the face. As a result or this accident he lost the use of an eye temporarily, and the vision of the eye has been impaired ever since. The defendants charge Brown with negligence and ask that the suit be dismissed. Divorce Matters. Justice Spring yesterday granted ah absolute divorce to Lottie Williams from Charles A.

Williams. The couple were married in this, city November 19, 1879, and have one son. An order was made by Justice Spring in the case of Sophia A. Schutt againsl Christian F. Schutt, directing the defendant to pay the plaintiff $rtO counsel fee and $5 a wetk alimony pending the action for divorce.

Justice rrinff referred the case to Attorney red I). Corey, to hear try. and determine. Th'e wife of John A. Korh.

who was formerly an East Buffalo builder, is suing him for divorce. Mrs. Koch charges that her husband deserted her some time ago. For Medical Dr. Charies H.

Woodward is suing Fred Alctricb in the Supreme Court, before Justice Laughjin, to recover, with interest, which he says is due him from Aldrich for medics services. Aldrich denies that "he owes Dr. Woodward the amount aekedi but admits that he owes him $58.50 with interest from May is, 1895. He says that he and Dr. Woodward agreed upon that amount as a balance when Aldrich at one time made a payment of $29.75.

Many Men Are not aware of the unusual ex cellence of our Men's Furnishing Department of the discriminating taste used in the selection of the best fashions in Neckwear, Collars and Cuffs, Fancy Shirtef' Hosiery, Suspenders Gloves, Umbrellas, eta and of the economy in trading there. Some dry goods stores model their Men's Department on a different plan from their other department, as if it were a store by itself, a man's store, that is our idea. Men are creatures of habit, not always of economy; because they have heretofore dropped into a MeVa Furnishing Store for a tie, they keep on doing so, they think it awWard to trade where women go, and fancy that all articles for men, particularly neckties and gloves and collars, are the ordinary everybody-can-get-them style it sold in a dry goods store. This was once so in all dry goods stores it is still so in most of them but it makes the exceptions notice-, able, and these exceptional storea success in attracting not only men, but men of taste, and what seems stranger still, even fastidious men go to them. There is just this sort of a store in Buffalo Taste and Economy are wedded there.

The opinion of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Third Department, has been handed down, in the matter of the Depew Southwestern Railroad Company's application for a writ of certiorari to compel the Stte Railroad Commissioners to issue a certificate of necessity and converience to that company. The decision says that the courts have no right to go behind the action of the commissioners save upon the proof of error or that the decision of the Commissioners was contrary to the weight of evidence.

In other words the decision practically says that ia the case of two applications for a given franchise or certificate of necessity, the Railroad Commissioners have the right to decide which application shall be granted and unless error can be shown their decision shall be final. The salient points of the decision are as follows: "Both companies made application for the certificate required by Section 59 of the Bail-road Law, by filing application therefor with the Board of Ral.road Commissioners, July 1. 18t5. Each of said companies proposed to run a raiiroad between the villages of J)e-pew and Biasdeii Id the County of Erie. The routes are practically the same and are each 10 miles in length.

"The termini of both roads are the same. The amount of capital stock of each is the same; each is to be operated by steam power, and each Is what is called standard gauge; each company has also compiled with the conditions and requirements of Section 59 of the Raiiroad Law. "After a hearing the Board of Railroad Commissioners issued a certificate of public convenience and necessity to the defendant, the Terminal Railway of Buffalo, and refused to issue such a certificate to the Depew Southwestern Raiiroad Company. The' Board of Directors of the Depew Southwestern Raiiroad Company thereupon took the proceedings provided by Section 59 of the Railroad Law. for a review of the action of the Railroad Commissioners In refusing to grant such certificate, which proceeding for a review was pending In the General Term of the Supreme Court for the Fourth Department, at the time the writ of certiorari herein was granted.

"It may somtinies happen, as lu this case, that two comoanies dd1t for a certificate to construct a road between the same points, and it may be that such Railroad Commissioners can nrorerly certify as to each, that publ'lc convenience and necessity require the construction of Its road, or it may be that they cannot conscientiously certify that pub-, lie convenience and necessdty require the construction of more than one road; it la a question that must be determined by some one, and the Board of Railroad Commissioners Is the only body or tribunal vested with authority to Issue the certificate In question, and from' necessity therefore It has turlsdic- tlou to determine in the case or conflicting applicants, whether certificates shall be issued to both, or only to one, and if only to one, which one. "Borh applications for certificates having been made at the sanje time. I think the Railroad Commissioners had the legal right to consider them totrether. without regard to who had filed their articles of association first, and that consequently no 'rule of law affecting the rights of the parties thereto has been violated to the prejudice of the Buffalo Southwestern "The burden upon the Depew Southwestern Company to show error, and with the improperly considered elements eliminated from the case. I cannot say that the decision of the Commissioners would not.

or should not have been the same; there would be still enough left In the case to call for the exercise of rheir discretion as to which of the two applicants should receive a certificate. "We cannot consider tne evidence as If we were determining the matter in the flrst Instance: some weight and importance must be attached to the decision of the Commissioners, and the burden is upon the Southwestern Company to show to us that the of the Commissioners was contrary to the clear weight of evidence. "To reverse their decision upon certiorari we must find that there was such a pre-Ionderance of evidence adverse to the conclusion they arrived at, that If It had beet, the verdict of a Jury, we would set It 'aside as against' the weight of evidence. "I can find no 6uch preponderance of evidence. "My conclusion, therefore, Is that the action of the Board of Railroad Commissioners In refusing to Issue to the Depew Southwestern Company the certificate provided for In section 50 of the Railroad law, cannot be reviewed -b" us in these proceedings, because, their action did not finally determine the rights of the Depew Southwestern Company, and because another mesas Is provided by law whereby their decision could be adequately reviewed, and also because at the time of Issuing the writ herein, a proceeding to review tne action or tna ttauroau yoiu-nilssloners.

In the manner prescribed by law, was then pending and undecided; that In the proceedings on the application for a certificate by the Terminal Railway Company the said Commissioners had jurisdiction of the proceedings, and Jurisdiction to determine whether it would issue certificates to both applicants, or to only one, and if to one only, which one. "The decision of the Railroad Commissioners Is therefore affirmed, and the writ of certiorari quashed with $50 costs and disbursements to the defendant, the Terminal Railway Company of Buffalo." Judges Merwln, Landon, and Putnam concur. Judge Parker dissents. Mr. Gluck.

counsel for the Terminal Company, concerning this decision, said: "This is one of the most important decisions affecting the scope and power of the Railroad Commission that has been made. It in effect sustains the contention that the Commissioner are clothed with broad discretionary powers and definitely settles the point that -they have the right where several associations of individuals present themselves, asking for the same franchise, to determine to which one that franchise shall be granted and that the exercise of their power to do this does not depend upon any technical ground but upon broad and equitable grounds, the route proposed, the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the respective routes and so on. It is also important as defining the meaning of a much-disputed section of the railroad law concerning which, up to this time, there has been much controversy. It also defines the meaning of the word "corporation'1 in a clear and satisfactory way as affecting the powers and privileges Qf such bodies. As to whether or not an appeal will be attempted to be taken by the Uepew Southwestern.
