A DlfToronco in Frolchts. CHICAGO , May 21. [ Special Telegram to Titr. Bun. ] What bids fair to cause n rupture - turo between the Central Truffle and Wes tern Freight associations , was embodied In tbo report of n committee to the Central Trafllo association at the recent meeting. The report showed that the AVcstorn associ ation had made proportional rates materially less to the lake nnd rail hues than to the all rail linos.

The difference in the rates of the live other classes is as marked , amounting to 20 per cent less from the Inko and rail lines. Ono result of these rates Is that freight from St. Joseph , Mich. , is tnkcti through Chicago and to St. Paul 8 cents cheaper than the same freight could bo taken from Chicago , cither as local or through all rail freight. aTho committee re ferred the settlement to Chairman Blanch- ard. with u request to adjust the rates if possible. _ .Railroad ConHollclntlon.

"Tho contlomnn from the Fourth hns expressed himself In favor of the ordlnnnco , except thnt ho didn't Want 'that Irishman1 to got the credit for it.

THE DEFEATED'sOUOOIi BONDS. The Members or the Bonrtl of Kduca- tloii Hnmltcnppcd. Since the school bond proposition for the Issuance of (300,000 for the erection of now school buildings , nnd fortho purchase of now school sites , has boon defeated by a vote of the electors , nothing will bo done at present by the board of education townrd Increasing the accommodation , turthor than renting buildings , nshas been done heretofore. Many of the members of the board nro dis gusted with the defeat of the bonds. They claim thnt the defeat was duo to the inalffor- cnco of people who nro not fully nllvo to the needs of the city , aud also to the present plumbers' striuo. Some think thnt if the $75,000 proposition for tbo addition to the high school hnd not been submitted , the gcneinl proposition would have carried , nnd then the board would hnvo secured the other necessary new buildings the coming season. As it is now , public educational facilities are inadequate , nnd the members of the board mnko this statement without hesitancy. Sneaking to a reporter for TIIK Ben , last night , Sheriff Coburn , who is one of the members of the board , stated that the bond Issue would bo dropped for awhile , at least , Ho doesn't think the High school addition proposition had anything to do with the defeat of the bonds. After the elapse of u few months , it is thought that the question will bo taken up nguln , for the reason that more school room U needed and must bo had. About all the money the board bns ou hand is $18,000 , which is the balance in the slto nnd building fund. This amount Mr. Sholes wants to appropriate to the erection of a temporary building nt the Paul school site , to relieve the overcrowded condi tion of the Long school. Ho offered u resolution to thnt effect at Monday night's meeting of the board , but action was ro- torred fqr two weeks. The members of the board say that the people will bo anxious for bettor nnd more adcquato facilities betore the proposition is put to them again to vote upon. 'llio Jlotall GrncoM.

A correspondent of the London Times Dalle attention to the light now shown from St. Catherine' : ; point lighthouse in the Isle of Wiffht. Prior to Mny 1 of Inatyear ; the light oxhihitod nt this btiition was described in the admiralty list of lights as.iixed , Dioptric , of the lirst order. That is , it was u steady light produced hy means of a six-wick concentric oil burner and refrnctiiiir lenses , tno intensity of the naiced Iliuno being equal to about 730 candles. At the present mo ment ( in electric light IB being shown at St. Catherine's , the full power inten sity of which was recently stated by Ciptain , Snyder Webb , the deputy muster - tor of the Trinity house , to bo equal in illuminating power to rather more than seven million candles for the light now rovolvcb a mighty Hash of live seconds'1 duration sweeps around the wen and is visible at distances that seem incredible , To elTcct this improve ment a cammpdious engine-room has been added to the establishment , con taining three steam engines of twelve- horse po\\orenoh andtwomiigneto-olec- tric machines of the Do Mcritons typo. Two of the engines are intended to work for lighting purposes , the third being meant to work the fog signal , As a precau tion agninsL broiik-down. everything is in duplicate at least , with an oil light in reserve as well. The only other lighthouses on the coast of Eng land nt which the light is produced by means of electricity are Soutor point , on the coast of Durham , botwoeu tbo mouths of the Tyne and the Wear ; the South Foreland , and at the Lizard , on the Cornish coast. But the St. Cathe rine's ' light is ton times more powerful than the best of thorn the ono on Soutor point , It is , in fact , one of , if not , as is believed , actually the most intensely brilliant' light in existence , and one which the country , us a mari time nation , may certainly feel proud to sue on its shores. SLACKSNAKE FILLED WITH GOLD. Tlio Komurkiible Find of Two Vomit ; Men in Missouri , On Saturday , April 27 , James Mc- Cnlun , a young nmn residlug on Wal nut crook , near Index , Mo. , was squir rel huntin/r. / Noticing his dog barking furiously , ho wont forward. Tlio object of the dogs attention was an enormous black- sniiko , which , when killed , measured fourteen feet und nine inches. The reptile stood perfectly erect for about four feet of its lengthuud seemed unable to move the middle part of its body at all. Although somewhat abashed by the formidable appearance of the reptile , snys the St. Louts Republic , Jim way not slow to observe that it could not raovo from the spot where its body soojiicd bound to tlio earth , so Jio picked up u btout club and striking the monbtor several blows upon its head , which it WUB weaving ubout in the uir , soon dlB- nutchod it. Ho waa again astonished wlion , ut- tomptlng'to raise the monster up on hia stick , he wus unnblo to lift it from the ground. About that tlmo ho eaw a neighbor on the road , Culling upon him for assist ance , they out ho snake open ut tlio nlaco where the immense weight was located. They took from its body an old bootleg - log thonged together at each end , and containing something 6 ° cavy they cquld scarcely lift it. Great was their aurpriiso and joy when , upon cutting open the boot log , it was found to bo flllod with gold coins frorU $1 up to 320. The only plausible explanation ia this : It is well known by parties living here that during the Into war n , party of bushwhackers burled n bootleg full of gold somewhere on Walnut Crook. The monslor was found near a. small rnvlno , where It is supposed the gold waa washed out of Us hiding place mid found hy the snnlco. Besides , not being able to imagine how lie managed to swallow It , wo can't concolvo why ho attempted it unless to his race belongs the greed for gold which Is a prominent trait in human nature , since man yielded to his ancestral tomptor. At any rate the snake got It , then Jim , who IH now the hnppo possessor of $3,810 in gold. Wo Jiopo ho will Ulvldo with Ed and prosper. The snake that swallowed the canoe and nine Indiana was a much larger ono than this , but for actual value this ono takes the cake , Tlio American Girl. The American girl is gradually In vading every department of operatic representation , and always with success , says the St. James's Ga/.ctto. For years past more loading nritno-donno have boon produced by tno United States than by any European country. Madame Pattl is almost nn American ; Madame Albanl Is a Canadian : Madame Vallorla. Madame Nordlca , Madame Nevada and Miss Van Zandt , with many moro whoso names will at once sugaost themselves , are all from the United States. Miss Geraldine Ulniar , an American , is ono of the most attractive members of the Savoy company ; and Miss lluntington , another American , reigns supreme at the prince of Wales' . Wo now hoar of a now American Juliet , Miss Eamcs , who , coming nftor Madame Patti at the Paris opera house , has almost equalled Madame .Patti's success ; of an American dancer , Mademoiselle Flint , who has made her mark in the grand bullets of Milan and of Rome. Stendhal was cer tainly mistaken when , rather moro than fifty years ago , ho wrote that America was the freest country in the world , but ono to which Italian music could never appeal. _ U'lint llo Shoo and Leather Dealer : Cashier Bogus ( in Toronto ) Hello , what's the matter ; you're all broken up ; remorse , oh ?
