Another rumor that caused pieat Inditrnn-

ordeiing the cabin door locked nnd keeping
the people inside. The captain AV.IS
blamed for penning the people up
whcio death was sane to como.

thought the barge safer than the steamer , and
bent an order down to the cabin for tbo
women nnd cliihhcn to go on the barpc. In-
stcud of carijingtho order corrutly , the man
told tlicin to Hluy in the cabin nnd lock
tlio door , which they did. Previous to that

Btcamcr , tolling tbo engineer that a party of
men on the hurgo wcro drunk nnd had been

when the icscucrs reached the Htennier , unit

.ludgo Tuloy today decldod that the Canadian
Pncitie load could mn its train over the
Wc&toin Inuhina tracks and into Chicago.
The suit v.as ostensibly louyht by the Wabash -
bash , but this was.so because it was an at
tempt on the pait of tlio Grand Tiunlcto
tight off its Canadian neighbor and wenkon
the force of its tiaiUocontuiet with the Wa-
bash.
The hnmedlato result of the decision is ,
that the Canadlm 1'iiclllo will put on bo-
t\\ccn Chicago and llo ton solid vestibulcd
passenger trains and compete lorahn oshnio
of the business. Its trallio contiact
with the Wubasli will compel
It to use a Wnbisb cngliio
and train ciew between Detioitnnu Chicago ,
but othem Iso the whole trains will belong to
the Canadian 1'aiillc.
The trallio contiact now covers all freight
tiattlc , the only chiingo which \\ill bo made
being that Canadian I'.icilic tiuins to and
flOm Chicago will now run solid U more con

The Atehison nnd Hock Islnnd have gene
