Chicago, April 24th.— The most aggres sive action, so far, in connection with the western freight rate war was taken to-day by the Bock Island road. It made a flat reduction of 40 per cent, on all classes to St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota trans fer points, placing the tariff on first-class at '.'A) cents. This cut was promptly met by the St. Paul, Burlington and Northwest ern, the first mimed road, however, not quoting the cut openly. Though the most important cut yet made in rates on west bound freight, it created no surprise, hav ing been anticipated, for a numbers of days.

In the right side of the woman's bead, just above '• the eye, was an u#lv wound, from which i the brains protrude!. The bullet which caused the death of the man entered the i left temple, and passed completely through : the head. At the inquest this afternoon ! Evans was arrested. He said, in substance, j that lie came home at the usual hour in the morning from his work ol watching all : night, went to his wife's bedroom, and I there saw her and the man lying on the ; bed dead, just as they were found. He picked hi.: child up. a baby 0 month old, and walked .out, locking the door and leaving the key in the lock. He called his servant, Mamie Miilcr. gave the child to her and went out. The servant girl gave Bach evasive answers that her rest was ordered. The theory about the killing is that Evans had an inkling of his v. ii" mi i i -lily, came home in the morning earlier than usual, surprised them, probably asleep, and shot them both. The pillow where each head lay was powder-burn A Triple Funeral.
