Mrs. Jack Hill of Qunnlson , Colo. , Is confined
In the county jail , a raving maniac. The
Burlington eastbound train was wrecked
yesterday noon at Iloggcn , Colo. , nnd two
women , passengers , and the engineer and
fireman slltrhtly Injured. The engine nnd
four cars went over an embankment , nnd the
delay caused the train lo roach here six
hours late , nbout 4 o'clock this morning.
Mrs , Hill was ono of the injured , nnd shortly
before the train reached Tioro she created
Intense excitement In the train by leaping
up nnd attempting to throw h6rsolf and the
babe from the train. Twlcodldsho make
the attempt , but each time she was frus
trntcd. She Insisted that her bnby was
killed In the wreck and the ono that w
With her was not hers.
She wan taken from the train to the
county Jail , whore she calmed down some ,
and was finally removed to the sheriff's '
office. Hero she wns again seized with o
paroxysm , and picking up a largo rock used
ns n door prop hurled It through ono of the
blir plata glass windows , and snatching the
baby attempted to leap with It through the
window. She was caught by the officers just
In time. She was then taken back to the
Jail and the baby removed to the Homo for
the Friendless. Again she grew violent nnd
it was necessary to send for the babe again
Bho told Mrs. LAtigdon that her name was
Mrs. Jack Hill and she wns on her way from
Ounnisou. Colo. , to visit with her parents at
QulncyVls. . At times she complained of an
Injury to her sldo , but will not allow n
physician to examine hor. She Is n bright
winsome little woman of nbout 21 , and her
babe , nbout a year old , n bright yountrstor.
It was unconscious for some time after being
pulled out of the wreck with Its mother , and
It is thought the agony of grief the young
mother endured while watching over her
child during the interval of unconsciousness
coupled with a probable Injury to herself
unseated her reason for the time being. The
railway authorities are oudcavorlug to com
mini lea to with her relatives.

In General.
The roads belonging to the Western Pas
senger association have been trying to act ns
peacemakers In the rate war between the
Union Pacific , Great Northern nnd other
transcontinental linos.
For a whllo they prevailed upon the
Union 1'acific not to enter the fight , but now
that road has shied its castor In the ring and
henceforth will bo strictly In the 'push. "
Tno Union Paclflo passenger ngonts nro
now selling first-class limited rtckots from
Sioux City , Omaha , Kansas City , St. Joe
and Lcavonworth to points in Mon
tana , Idaho , Oregon and \Vnslilugton
for $30. The eastern rates nro the
same between these points nnd east of the
Missouri river they are offering n bnsln rate
of $2T west of the Missouri river. The Union
Pacific does not moot any ot the second class
rates of the Great Northern , but It is
thought that the latter road will see the
Union Pacific and go It a few points better.
The war has already bouofitod the pee plo
In the far western states nnd they nro tak
ing advantage of the reduced rates to visit
the World's ' fair.
General Passenger Agent Lomnjc of the
Union Pacific Is In Chicago , and at his re
quest the Western Passenger association
hold n special mooting Monday evening.
At this meeting Mri Lomax wanted to know
what the lines cast of the Missouri river
proposed to do In case the Union Pacific mot
the reduced rates made by the lines west of
St. Paul.
Sighing for 111118 Scalp.
Ho said ho could not see how the Union
Pacific could keep out of the fight an ;
longer , but ho had not yet received any In-
lormattoii from his superior officers , nnd
could , therefore , not toll yet what would bo
done by his company. Before deciding upon
definite action ho desired to know what aid
the Union Pacific could expect from Its east
ern connections. The latter would make no
promlsps , It being their desire to keep out of
the fight if possible. After discussion It
wa decided to request Chairman Caldwcll
to at once call n meeting of all the lines in
the Western Passenger association , both
east and west of the Missouri river , to beheld
hold on Friday to take action regarding the
light between the roads In thonorthwcst , and
also to agree upon low excursion rates from
all points in the west to the World's fair.
Definite action regarding reduced World's
fair rates will have to bo taken at Friday's
meeting , as the Santa Fo , Rock Island and
some of the other roads will not submit to
further delay in the matter. These roads
find that their interests are being jeopardized
by the present condition of affairs , as the
people emphatically refuse to como to the
World's fair If the rate is moro than ono faro
for the round trip. With the exception of
two or three of the roads which are known
to bo clandestinely manipulating the rates
the earnings of all lines show a decrease in
passenger earnings during the last week
They have now como to the conclusion thn
they can no longer afford to keep up high
rates for the solo purpose of benefiting a few
of the roads which lina that the high rates
give them a chance for manipulation , and i
the latter do not como to time next Friday
several of the roads stand ready to givi
notice of withdrawal from the agreement.
Northwestern Kntoi.
It is understood among passenger agents
of other roads that the Northern Pacific has
determined to push the fight against the
Great Northern and that within n few days
it would put in effect a blanket rate from
north Pacific coast points and Idaho , Mon
tana , Washington and Dakota points of $10
to St. Paul and Chicago. By making Chicago
cage a common point with St. Paul it will
have n great advantage over the Great
Northern , as it has n through line to Chicago
cage via the Wisconsin Central while the
Great Northern has no independent outlet
from St. Paul to Chicago and will have to
seek alliances with the Cnlcago Great West
ern and other lines cast from St. Paul. The
quotations of through rates to Chicago by
the Northern Pacific via its Wisconsin
Central division will compel the Great
Western nnd the other competitors of the
Wisconsin Central to reduce their rates from
St. Paul cast to such figures as will enable
the Great. Northern to get through to Chicago
cage at equally low rates as these made by
the Northern Pacific.

Chairman Mldgloy of the Western Freight
association has issued notices ordering the
cancellation of joint wool tariff through the
eastern seaboard from the Mississippi river
at less than the duly authorized basis. Mr.
Mldgloy's conclusions are that It is not com
petent for any line In the Western Freight
itm
association to issue nn individual tariil from
the Missouri , unless it bo a duplication of
rates promulgated by the association ; that
it Is contrary to policy and ogrecmeht for
any line In the Western Freight association
to surrender any portion of its earnings be
tween the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
in a division with lines east of the Missis
sippi river , of a through rate sought to 3JO
established between the Missouri river and
points east of the Chicago line ; that it Is
contrary to the agreement of the joint rate
committee for any line west of Chicago to
join in the publication of loss than the
agreed proportionate rates east of the Mis
sissippi river , and apply them on transmls-
slssippi river t radio destined to or originat
ing at the Atlantic seaboard.
