THE RAILROADS.
The Question of Deadhoadism
Not Yet Settled.
What Was Done About It by (ho Han-
agors Yesterday.
The Northwestern (Milwau
kee Division) Freight
Tariff.
Passenger Matters—Tho Preach-
ers—Suburban Kates.
The pass question Is not yot settled. Yesterday the
representatives of tho several Western railroads spent
several hours trying to roach a conclusion. They met
in tho now offices of tho Rock Island Company. Tho
meeting was called to order at noon. When tho reso
lutions wore submitted, and additional signatures
culled for, several representatives refused to sign,—
among those, tho Indiana, Bloomington k Western,
tho Peoria k Rock Island, and the Rock,
ford, Rock Island A St. Louis Railroad
Companies. Those gentlemen declined to en*
tor Into tho arrangement. This unexpected secession
produced a commotion that had not subsided when an
an adjournment was taken until tho afternoon. At
the later session, Mr. T. B. Blackstono, President of
the Chicago & Alton Raltrord, refused to append his
valuable signature to the abolition document. Ho
objected hocaueo it allowed existing passes to remain
until their expiration by limitation, and permitted tho
further Issuo of passes In exceptional cases. Ho took
tho moat decided stand, and announced his unchanged
determination to recall every pass outstanding
on tho Ist prox. Tho fivo loading companies that did
sign tho resolutions were, Tho Illinois Central,
Ohlcogo, Burlington k Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island
k Pacific, Chicago k Northwestern and Milwaukee
k St. Paul Railroads. Mr. F. E. Hinckley also affixed
bia Presidential signature for (ho Chicago k lowa,
tho Chicago k Paducah and Peoria k Southwestern
Railroads. By the terms of tho resolutions tho ahovo
named Companies hind themselves not to issue or re
new any pass after tho Ist prox. except to their own
employes and lu rare cases whore previous contracts
provide for their Issue. In accordance with this under
standing, circulars have Leon gotten up, briefly rooltiug

TUE APPROPRIATION BILL.
What Was Bono with It by the Couu»
ell Laat Evening*
The Council met yesterday evening pursuant to ad
journment, Aid. MoAvoy In the Chair. Present, Aid.
Richardson, Dixon, Warren, McGonuiss,' Oooy, Mo
Avoy, Stone, Tracey, Schmitz, Gullorton, McOlowry,
dowry, Balloy, O’Brien, Bond, Clark, Kehoo, Heath,
Bherwood, Moore, Quirk, McGrath, Mahr, Lougachor,
Carney, Cannon. Woodman.
Tho Council wont Into Committee of the Whole and
resumed tho consideration of the Appropriation hill.
A motion to strike out tho Item of SIO,OOO for
amounts duo contractors from property forfeited to
tho city failed.
A motion was mado to Increase tho item for tho ox
vonslon of main water pipes from $300,000 to $400,000,
and was resisted, since the Board hod boon quite
recently allowed to use SIOO,OOO out of tho water rents
for street mains, which mado up tho sum of $400,000.
It was agreed to by a large veto.
Tho Committee Uien rose without acting on several
items which had boon passed over temporarily, and tho
consideration of the bill in tho Council was begun.
A motion to strike out tho sum of $43,800.05 to pay
tho contractors for paving streets where there wore
street railroads, from which no osscssmenta could ho
collected, was mado on tho ground that It was unjust
to people who had paid their assessments, and would
defeat the tax-lovy If tho Item was In. The latter rc.v
son was not hold valid, and It was slated that it was
■lmply whether tho city would pay the sura with or
without costs. The motion was carried—yeas, 16;
na The l n*oxt motion was to strike out tho sum of
*35,345.23 to refund to property-owners on certain
paved streets the excess paid by them when they were
assessed, and It was claimed that the appealed cases
would soon bo won by tho city, and tho money to pay
those people would bo obtained in that woy. Then It
was suggested that If it was to go through, Milwaukee
and Archer avenues and several other streets ought to
bo put In, although this Item applied oply to assess,
ments mado under the old system prior to December,
1869. The {potion was carried—ayes, 20: nocs, 6.
A motion to reduce the sum appropriated for dredg
ing in tho river and harbor from $60,000 to $40,000 was
followed by one to mako the Item $65,000, hut to de
vote $25,000 of It to tho purchase of a dredging ma
chine. This last proposition was opposed, since In
ditlon to a machine, other things would have to bo
bought and more men hired. It was always cheaper
to biro such work done. This jlrodgo business was
voted on—yeas 17, naysß. ... . ,
The Item of $66,191.34 for land damages at bridges,
was adopted. , ...
It was moved to strike out $16,000 for tho Oly
bourne avenue bridge, and Insert $36,000 for a now
bridge as North avenue, and the motion was agreed
to.
Then bridge tenders’ salaries wore taken up, and an
attempt wan made to Increase them slightly, but
failed except In a few cases—Lake, Madison, Division
(Canal), and Adams.
The Council then adjourned till Ibis evening.
Up to this time there has boon added to tho Appro
priation bill tho sum of $508,41)2.68, this including tho
Item of $308,108 for interest on sewerage bonds, which
Iho Board of Public Works forgot. There have been
stricken out $151,705.28, leaving a net increase of $116,-
787.40. The sum of $270,620.83 has been stricken out
of the sinking funds*, but since it is intended to use
this for sewerage, this amount does not figure at all in
tho above statement.
SPEAKING OF ELEVATORS.
A slushy two-column article In the Time* of yester
day, half of which la dovoUd to tho subject of elova
tore aud tho other half to Tub Tjudune—(by the way,
It ia understood that tho proprietor of tho Time* h&a
Instructed his little undorlinga on the city department
to mention Tub Thibune on every possible occasion i
tho name, bo thinks, attracts general attention}—calls
to mind an amusing incident which occurred in tho
frail building of tho Wolla street concern a short timo
since. A man who w&a supposed to know how to
build an elevator had Just finished one In tho Time*
otUce, and Mr, Storey walked in one morning to
try it. Ho wasn’t In the best of humor, it
would seem, for bo was bummlug an unknown
song to himself, and smiling sardonically. Tho
city department must have been “scooped" os
usual, or the old man would havo undoubtedly felt
batter. Summoning an unfortunate colored boy, he
ordered him to got into tho elevator, and take
him up to tho third Hour, so that ho might discharge
g nmo who was draw
ing pay for nothing. Tho boy pullod tho cable trem
blingly, and the elevator wont slowly upward. Tho
second floor wos passed in safety, and Mr. Storey con
tinued to smllo sweetly fnd croon with evident
satisfaction as ho neared tho goal. AU of a sudden a
Jarring sound waa heard, and the elevator camo to a
dead stop between tho socoud and (bird floors. Tho
colored boy, now absolutely white with fear,
.flew to tho cable and pullod it m all
directions, but tho clumsy machine refused to
move either way. There was no escape, and tho col
ored hoy crawled under tho little seat and lay still,
Tho quavering volco of an aged man then broke the
stillness of tho shaft. Its first inquiry was “ What in
and —~ is tho mattor with this ——
of an olovntor, eh 7 Tho colored boy never answered,
being rendered almost insensible by seeing a fill of
long white hair standing on end, and surmounted by a
hat. Again tho aged volco cried out, “What
In tho namo of all that is ——— —is the
matter with this tub 7 Where
In - architect
who built this shell 7 IJring
him before me, and I’ll break his back so
quick he won’t know what hurt him I Uot
altovo there 1 to editorial eculllons,
Set mo out of boro, or I'll discharge ovory underpaid
og in tho crowd I ” Intense was tho commotion
which rolgnud on the third floor when theio ominous
sentences were hoard. Thuro were blanched facea in
every room, and pondls which had dropped from
nerveless fingers covered every floor. What waa to be
(lone? Tho architect of tho building waa sent for,
the'jcslrictlonß and instructing conductors to collect
cither a ticket or the fnroln oabii from every passenger
who aoos not prraent a pass Isauod prior to July 1.
Every applicant for a pass will, hereafter, receive one
of these, comprehensive noted In aunicicnt reply to
their requests. Borne of the roads havo taken all their
surplus blank passes to tho printer And had printed
thereon the words 11 Employe's pans.” A supply will
he soiit out to Ibo several Division Superintendents for
limited use. It Is not Intended that tho wives and fam-
Hloß of employes shall have Indiscriminate acccsn to
tho pans privilege. It will ho quite rarely bestowed,
so as to maintain it a privilege, upon no account will
applications for passes over roadH bo mado. Tho “ ex
change " courtesy Is to ho abandoned.
In this form, It is behoved, tho railroads assenting to
tho agreement can maintain It almost Inviolate.
Doubtless tho number of employes will ho largely In
creased. BtlU, If well observed, It Is presumed that
the Eastern Hues—now holding aloof—will notice tho
profitable results certain to follow, and Join tho move
ment.
An exception was made against ministerial tickets.
Every settled pastor resident along tho several linos of
road has hitherto received sn annual ticket entitling
him to purchase regular tickets at ouo-half price.
Theso permits are to ho recalled. This exception is
not wise. Mayors of certain cities and larger towns
will bo permitted to retain their complimentary free
psssca until they run out, while tho poor clergy will
have to descend to tho common paying level. It mav
result lu their striking for higher wages and swell
lug tho ranks of tho Grangers.
THK NORTIIWESTEUK PmHOIIT TARIFF,
in. nuiiiunbo.AiMi * .iu......
Yesterday, The Tiiihunk contained a correct repro
duction of tho now freight tariffs of the Chicago k
Northwestern Railway, adopted for ull Divisions except
tho Milwaukee, Tho latter was not printed until last
evening. Wc present It in this Issue. Tho rates on
tho Milwaukee and Wisconsin Divisions, hoyond the
Illinois Blato Hue, are graduated progressively. Al
though tho trial of the tariffs on tho several roads Is
regarded with considerable apprehension, oorao bene
ficial results will follow. An honest endeavor Is evident
to prevent tho unjust discrimination so bitterly com
plained of prior to tho now regulations. Hitherto, local
business has boon nogloctcd in tho strenuous exer
tions to secure through business from competing
points. It Is becoming apparent to tho more saga
clona managers that a heavy local business, conducted
at fair rates, will ho more profitable, if encouraged,
than long hauls for competing points at roducod rates.
IK PASfIKNORU MATTKIIB
ACT I.MAiIUM* U.A*
there la nothing particularly now to report. Tho dis
tance and local tariffs of tho Northwestern and Illinois
Central IWllroods, aro before us; but, as a mileage
rate has boon adopted, the rates can easily bo figured
out. The three trunk Hues between Chicago and
Council Bluffs will charge three and a half cents per
mllo on their main linos. On their branches the rates
will romam at four cents. A difficulty la presented In
Tint sununnAH rates.
On tho Illinois Central, for Instance, tho same rato
is charged for tho first two or (hroo stations. Tuts
peculiarity Is not confined to the Central. It la a vio
lation of both the spirit and tho letter of tho law. A
different rate must bo lmposots>for a longer distance;
clso any evil-disposed person could arraign tho Com
pany for violation of tho law, and if tho statute Is
affirmed by the Supremo Court, tho penalty would he
Imposed. Tho offense might noum & trilling ono, Imt
tho Court would havo no discretion in tho matter other
than to oxocuto tho law. It will thus bo evident that
tbo managers, while doing their host to servo tho pub
lic, may Involve themselves inexpensive litigation, un
less they conform In ovory particular to tho loiter of
tho law.

PRISON liAJBOK.
fflootlng of tho Tin and. Galvanized-
Iron Worltors—Blcwolutioiitt Adopted
Demanding tho Abolition of tho
Contract System iu tho Illinois Pen
itentiary*
A mass-mooting of tin and galvanizcd-iron workers
was hold in Rico k Jackson’s Hull, West Randolph
street, last evening. There were about 300 persons
present, including quite a number of bosses. Joseph
Green, President of tbo Union, occupied tho Chair,
and said the object of tho meeting was
to strengthen tho Union. Thcso mechanics
have a peculiar grievance, and they feel very sore over
it. A firm in this city has contracted for tho labor of
100 of tho convicts at Joliet, and sot them to work
making galvanized iron cornices. This has thrown a
number of honest men out of employment, and they
claim that it is unjust for tho State to permit such
' discrimination. Their employers ere also dissatisfied,
as tho cheap labor of tho prisoners enables the con
tractors'to figure lower, and hence got more than their
■hare of work.
HON, IN
Speeches wore made by several of tho men,
who denounced tho system, but suggested no
remedy but tbo “ trcad-inlU ” and breaking stone for
tho public highways. A Committee on Itcaolutlono
was appointed, and they submitted tho subjoined re
port, which doubtless sots forth tho views of all who
work at this particular trade:
Whereas, It ahould be tho ond and aim of all dem
ocratic-republican Governments to secure to tbo citi
zen tho largest amount of happiness and liberty com
patible with law and order, to protect tbo law-abiding
citizen in tho pursuit of all legitimate business, to pun
ish tbo criminal for all violations of law, and to dis
countenance all schemes tending to monopoly and cor
ruption ; and
Wuebkas, Tho Introduction of skilled mechanical
labor Into our State Penitentiary has brought (he labor
of tbo outlaw and convict into direct competition with
that of tho law-abiding citizen; given birth to tbo in
iquitous contract system, thereby enriching a few
contractors; paid a premium for crime; and bos prov
ed injurious alike to tho honest employer and em
ploye, without any material benefit to tho Btato at
largo; therefore, bo It
Jiesolvfd, That any system that perverts tho inten
tion of tho law and the reformation of the criminal
Into a money-making scheme deserves tho depreca
tion of ail law-abiding citizens.
Jteaalved. That tho system at present pursued in our
Stole Penitentiary, in compelling tho convict to act as
a more automaton, is unjust and duos not perfect him
in the art aed mystery of any industry, aud therefore
docs not qualify him as a proficient inochnnlu to work
at any trade when ho leaves that institution.
litaohtd. That a system that compels tho mechanics
of one profession to boar tho brunt of the crime of the
Btato is repugnant to every principle of Justice, honor,
and true manhood.
JluolveU, That as no class of individuals are so
much in need of tho influence of saving grace, and
as tho chaplain of tho Penitentiary testifies that
several hundreds of thorn havo given evidence of a
change of heart, wo consider it proper to recommend
tho education of such us those for the ministry, In pro
portion to tho ratio of clergymen in tho State, and for
other professions in tho same ratio.
Jiesalved, That, if the present system must bo con
tinued, wo demand on equalization of labor among tho
.convictsln our Htato Ponltautiary, the abolition of tho
contract system, tho aalo of the products of the con
victs’ labor at public auction to too highest bidder, tbo
employment of tho convicts at such labor as will uot
camo - in direct competition with tho American
mechanic.
JUwlved, That a copy of the foregoing resolutions
bo sent to each member of our State Legislature, and
that each and every member bo requested to stato bis
position on this important subject, and whether they
arc prepared to vote for tho ouactmont of a law em
bodying tho spirit of tlio foregoing resolutions: also
that a copy bo sent to thn President of every Trades
and Labor Union in tbo Htato, accompanied with a re
quest that tbo same bo indorsed by each of tho Unions,
Your Committee would further recommcud that a
committee of three bo appointed to receive tho an
swers of members of our Legislature and bister Unions.
After the appointment of tho Conunlttco recom
mended, tho meeting adjourned.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
A number of merchants and underwriters, among
whom were Mr. L. Z. Loiter, 0. M. Henderson, Mr.
Ayur, and George 0. Clark, waited on tho Board of
Public Works, yesterday morning, and had a protract
ed consultation with the Oommlsslonors in relation to
tho inadequate water supply In tho business portion of
tho city. When a fire occurs on tho South Bide
hotwoeu tho river and Jackson street, tho steam en
gines are unable, quite frequently, to obtain (bo need
ed water. Ilouco conflagrations of largo dimensions re
sult where only “incipient" fires would occur If tho
supply were sutllclout. Tho Commissioners assured
tho gentleman that they intended increasing tho sup
ply this year by replacing the four-inch plpo on Wa
bash avenuo with an eight-inch main as far south as
Congress street, and enlarging thn diameters of thn
mains in contiguous thoroughfares. They will
also run a twenty-four-iuch main on La
Hallo street to Adams, whoro It will connect
with one sixteen inches in diameter. This will
afford a hotter supply of water all over tho city. Tim
pipes on Houth Water, Elver, and Markst streets, will
probably not ho replaced by larger ones, tho nearness
of tho river rendering an ample quantity of water al
ways available In oaso of flro. Tho merchants loft,
after making tho statement that they should endeavor
to Impress upon Iho Council tho Importance of making
a specific appropriation for this purpose.

aucu Societies, and eloquent speeches are to he de
livered by tho Hon. A. L. Morrison, John F. Flnorly,

The lightning express train on tho Chesapeake &
Ohio Railroad, which left Richmond, Va., Sunday
night last, ran off tho truck when tbreo miles from
thut city, rolled down an embankment, and was
smashed to pieces. No one was killed, but many wore
injured* including a parly of six from Chicago, who
refused to give their names. Anybody but a Chica
goan would have given his name and alarmed his
friends. Those Chicagoans wouldn’t, Of tho party,
an old lady had her cheok-bouu broken, and an old
gentleman sustained a fracture of tho uhouldor-blado.
A young lady was also badly injured. Who wore
they?
The merits of the writ of attachment upon Jack
Alien’s property now in the hands of tho Police Custo
dian, which was sworn out by Frederick Dickinson, of
tho Eureka saloon, in tho Academy of Muslo building,
was sot for bearing before Justice Daggett yesterday.
Tho constable who served tho writ says that It was not
bis intention to attach tho property known to have
been stolon, hut only tho private effects of Allen. The
attachment was issued to recover the value of a dia
mond pin which Dickinson alleges Alien stole from
him. Mr. Stiles appeared for the City, and Eldrldgo
V. Turtollotto for Mr. Dickinson. As personal service
could not bo made upon Allen, because of his being in
prison, the caso was continued for ten days.
Tho Board of Police considered matters appertain
ing to tho Flro Department at their session yesterday
afternoon. Peter Kill, driver of Engine No. 4, was
found guilty of sleeping while on duty, but sentence
was suspended for tho present. James O'Brien, As
sistant foreman of No. la, was proven guilty of dis
orderly conduct; sentence was suspended during
good hcluwlor. Andrew Londrum was appointed a
regular member of the* Department. Tho Commis
sioners indulged in a conversation in regard
to tho failure of tho Council to make
an appropriation to pay the Fire Wardens. They con
sider the Wardens very valuable, and point to their
annual report, which shows that nearly 0,000 tires were
prevented by compelling compliance with the Are
ordinance, as evidence of their efficiency. Commis
sioner Sheridan was especially indignant at the lop
plug-off of (ho Wardens, and said that if their services
were dispensed with the chance for fires would bo
largely increased,
A most distressing calamity was visited upon tbo
humble household of Mr. James Ruslan, on James
avenue, through the startling medium of a stroke of
lightning, during tho prevalence of the. storm yester
day morning, at 3 o'clock. Tho oloctrlu lluid entered
tho southeast corner of the house, near tho roof.
Thoucu It passed Into (lie bed-room, where Mr. and
Mrs. Rustan and (heir little daughter, a child 4 years
old, were sleeping. The latter lay with her hood near
the comer whore the lightning entered, and was In
stantly kilted. Her doming was hut little scorched,
but her features were much distorted. Mr. and Mrs.
Ilusl&u occupied a bod lu the oblique corner from tho
child. The lightning ran lu that dlroo
tlon, striking Mr. Biislan, and seriously
stunning his wife, who suffered snob a shock that her
recovery was at first doubted, Bho, however, rallied,
aud is believed to bo out of danger. Mr. Huston's
clothing was sot on fire, and himself very seriously
burned about the body. But for bis remarkable pres
ence of mind, tho bedding would have been ignited
from his clothing, and (bo whole family doubtless de
stroyed. It was strange that no fire was communi
cated to tho building. Tho flooring was ripped up,
and tho rafters aud siding of the uouso, In some
places, wore charred and shivered to splinters, Tho
family wore surrounded, yesterday, by many sympa
thizing friends, aud, certainly, there aro no more
worthier objects of sympathy, in that section of the
city (Bridgeport), than these alUictod persons.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Danger.
At this season the atmosphere Is surcharged with tbo
seeds of Intermittent*, romlldbnts, rheumatism, pulmo
nary disorders, bilious complaints, and the like. Persons
whoso nervous systems are relaxed are the first to succumb
to those distempers. Brace up the physical energies,
thou, with this potential vegetable tonlo. It Is the most
powerful roouporant which tbo botanlo kingdom has over
yielded to pattont research and experiment. Try it. Tbo
blindest dlsolplo of tho old medical dogmas will at least
admit that a tonic and alterative, compounded of ap
proved herbs, roots, and barks, can do no harm, while tho
testimony of thousands Invites a trial of Us virtues. Vigor
la tho thiug most needed In those oases, as well as in dys
pepsia and nervous affections, and Hostetler's Bitters Is
tho safest, surest, and most wholesome strengthening
preparation that human skill bss yet concocted.
