tOMPfiOMISE HOT REACHED III THE

DIFFERENTIAL CASE reaterred'Rate War Is Stir On as a Result of the Atti tude of the C, C, & L. Company. MATTER STANDS JUST . WHERE IT HAS STOOD. Proposed That the Local Road Waive Its Claim on Condi tion That Others Keep Out Chicago Excursion Business . Chicago, June 3 A rate war was Started- Sunday In eastern territory ovhen the Chicago, Cincinnati & Loujsville road gave notice that beginning Till v "1 If mr naeQAnffprc ll ojtween Chicago and Cincinnati for $5 It the Monon, Pennsylvania and the Big Four meet the rate it will mean a lively contest. Cincinnati, June 3.-The C, C. & L. differential case has not been dispos- " led of. No compromise, temporary or 3ermanenL has been agreed to, and the threatened rate war is still a possibil Jty. Representatives of the roads in rvolved have returned from the Chicago conference with an absence of the con ventional air of conquerors. "The matter stands just where it did," said one of them, "and conditions are unchanged. There may be an amdcable adjustment of affairs in a day !r two and there may not be. I cannot say what the future has in store." The situation is this: The C. C. & L. declares it will cut, Cincinnati-Chicago rates unless it is granted a differential or equivalent concessions. Its competitors are endeavoring to prevent the differential and the cut-rate and to get the C. C. & I to consider the concessions they are willing to make as equitable. At the Chicago conference several compromise propositions were submit tin to General Passeneer Acent Thomai Guerney which he had reduced to tjbewritten copy, in duplicate, placed iu his inside coat pocket and advised Ills colleagues that he would lay them before President Bradford and advise them of the decision in a day or two The -chief proposition made, and the one upon which; the old roads hope to base & compromise is that the C, C and 1. waive ft claim to a differential in consideration of the . other roads ikeeping out of the Chicago excursion 'business, it being given an absolute monopoly on this special traffic, at its established rate of $ round trip, with ,the privilege of running not more than . . - two excursions a month. This is j looked upon by the old roads as a liber sal and fair proposition, as they claim it will be more profitable to it than all the commercial business it could pos ,sibly- hope to secure at its differential irate. It is stated that the excursion 'last Sunday netted the road $2.r. It is. frankly almitted that the old t roads have a hard nut to crack. The -situation la serious, and the outcome is not foreshadowed. rne li; u. Ij. occupies rather a ,, unique and formidable position. It Cn fearlessly antagonize any and all Of the roads in the Chicago traffic. It has no restricting ties or affiliations. ilt enjoys the unusual distinction of .having to depend entirely upon busi ness originating on Its own line, detpending upon connections with its .competitors for none. This gives it a freedom to fight possessed by but few 'roads and in this instance it stands it :.weil in hand. It is apparent that it proposes to take advantage of this. It must be remembered, too, that at ; least two of its present competitors (made the path of its infancy and early j youth a thorny one. Every obstacle i possible was placed in the way of its construction and particularly its entrance into Cincinnati. This, - doubthess, gives zest to Mr. Bradford's aggressiveness. Retaliation is as satis- ! factory as revenge is sweet. THE . WEATHER PROPHET. INDIANA Possibly showers Monday night or Tuesday, cooler. OHIO Tuesday partly cloudy, probably rain in north portion.

BUT PAPERS AND CLIPPINGS FOUND ON H1S PERSON REVEALED THE DESPERADO'S IDENTITY. Van. Wert, O., June 3 Marvin Kuhn, the notorious outlaw who has served eighteen years in the penitentiary and who was pardoned by Governor Herrick in 1905, lies dead In Van Wert's city prison with a bullet through his right shoulder; also a bulfet entered above his left hip, coming out above the right groin. Early Sunday morning Arthur Smith a young man living five miles north of St. Mary's, discovered his horses missing. Accompanied by his grandfather and the sheriff, they overtook the thief just north of Cavett, and in response to a demand to stop, the thief fired from two revivers at the same r time. Abandoning his rig he went in to the woods, and, after exchanging several shots. Sheriff Hott shot the end of the thief's nose off with a shotgun and, rushing' upon him, the officer found that his man was mortally wounded. Medical aid was sum moned, but it was too late. He expired an hour or two later. Identified by Clippings. A pocketbook found upon him contained several clippings relative to his pardon, his picture, also his starting in business at Albion, Ind. Kuhns' wife lives at Avilla. He absolutely refused to give his name and said he had no friends that he cared to let know of his death, but papers found on his person revealed the fact that he was the notorious outlaw. He died about 11 o'clock Sunday night. Miss Lashley Expresses Thanks to Her Friends. Terre Haute, Ind., June 2, 1907.

ADVANCE IS MADE If PRICE OF COAL

AH Grades of West Virginia And Hocking Have Been Put Up 25 Cents. DUE TO MINE OWNERS. JACKSON COAL IS GETTING VERY SCARCE AND A SUBSTITUTE IS SOUGHT NO PROFIT ON ICE, IT IS CLAIMED. Saturday, last all grades of WeEt Virginia hard coal and Hocking coal were advanced 25 cents by local dealers." Hocking coal is now $4.00 per ton and West Virginia coal sells for $4.25. Jackson coal, which is regarded as the best coal in the country for cooking purposes, remains at the same figure, $5 per ton. During the winter this coal sold for $5.50 but about the first of April it was reduc ed to $5. ? Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee coal also remain at the same price. Indiana coal is now being sold by the local dealers at $3.25 per ton and Kentucky and Tennessee coal bring? $4.50 per ton. B. B. Johnson states that the advance made on West Virginia and Hocking coal was made on account of the increase in rates made by the mine owners. Jackson coal is getting very scarce and the local dealers, like the coal dealers all over the country, are looking for a substitute for this grade o coal, which is invaluable as fuel for cooking purposes. Fuel dealers in the city are laughing at council's attempt to investigate the alleged combine existing between the dealers to keep the price of coal at unfair rates. Mr. Johnson stated that the committee appointed by council to investigate the matter had never interviewed him or, as far as he knew, any other dealer in the city. Mr. Johnson also stated that the local ice dealers would realize no profits this season. "There is $80,000 invested in the ice business in this city," Mr. Johnson stated and as long as the present rates for ice are maintained there will be no profits. If the local dealers got together and attempted to raise the rates so that a small profit could be made I suppose we would be put in jail for violating the anti-trust law of the state. "At the present time the rates for ice vary from 12 cents per hundred pounds to the butchers, up to 30 cents per hundred pounds to the small consumers." The ice business has also received a black eye on account of the winter weather which has existed up to the present time. On account of this weather the demand for ice has been exceedingly small.

NEW FOUNDRY AT THE HODSIER DRILL HAS REEN STARTED

It Is One of the Most Complete Establishments of the Kind To Be Found in the State And Is Double the Old One. LIGHTING AND VENTILATING ON A NEW PLAN. Equipment in Every Way Is of The Very Best Elevator Transfers Iron and Coke Officials See the First Heat. This morning one of the most complete foundries in Indiana was started up at the Hoosier Drill plant. The new foundry, which has been in course of construction for several months, is considerably larger than the old building, having over twice the floor space that the old one had. The working force of the foundry will therefore be considerably increased. The lighting of the new building, which is very perfect, is accomplished by means of a roof construction which is new to Richmond, and which is known as the "saw-tooth" roof. The ventilating system is also a very complete one, the devices for operating the windows having been supplied by the Quaker City Machine company of this city. The core rooms are situated in the southern part of the building, the room for the girls to the left of the entrance and the room for the boys to the right. The core-ovens are situated between the core-rooms and consists of one double and one single oven, which have proved to be very efficient in operation. On the second floor of this section are situated the pattern storage room and the office of the foundry foreman. Whiting Standard Cupalo. The cupalo, which is situated at the opposite end of the building, is a Whiting Standard, made by the Whiting Foundry Equipment company, of Chicago. It has a capacity of 18 tons of metal per hour, and a diameter of 72 inches. The amount of air requir ed for this size cupalo is about 8,000 cubic feet per minute, at a pressure of from 14 to 16 ounces. This amount of air is supplied by a Connersville rotary blower, which has a displacement of 45 cubic feet per revolution. This blower is a product of the Connersville Blower company, of Connersville, Ind., and was shipped to this city via the C. C. & L. railroad, and transferred from that road to the Pennsylvania over the Gaar, Scott & Co., switches, being the first car of freight transferred from one road to the other in this city. Another feature of the equipment is the electric motor used in supplying the power for this blower, which is a Westinghouse 50 horse power induction type motor. Another innovation is the elevator, run by a 30 horse power electric motor, which will be used in the transfer of the iron and coke to the charging floor of the cupalo. It was built by the Moline Elevator Co., of Moline, 111., and has a capacity of 4,000 pounds.. The elevator gates were supplied by the Richmond Safety Gate Co. The current for the electric mo tors will be supplied by the Municipal power plant. A number of the officers of the American Seeding Machine Co., includ ing Messrs.Carr, Bookwalter, Johnson, Packham and others of Springfield, O., were visitors at the plant today, t o witness, the initial heat in the new foundry

IS ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE AT PRESENT

Board of Works Not Able to Give People of West Side Any Encouragement. VIADUCT MUCH DELAYED. ESTIMATES HAVE BEEN IN THE HANDS OF THE PITTSBURG OFFICIALS FOR OVER A MONTH BUT NOTHING IS HEARD. The West Second street viaduct question, first agitated in the stone age, is still unsettled. The last agreement drawn up between the repreS9ntatives of the P., C, C. & St. L. railroad and the city was satisfactory to both parties but the work on build ing the- viaduct has not yet been started and the prospects are that this work will not begin, if it ever be gins, until late this summer or early in the fall. After the plans for the building of the viaduct had been drawn up by the local railroad engineers and the plans for the street improvements about the viaduct had been prepared by City Engineer Fred Charles, representatives of the railroad company and the board of public works got together and agreed that both sfets of plans were satisfactory, but the board refused to have the work of building the viaduct begin un til the railroad company could submit an estimate of the cost of building this structure. Estimates Are Submitted. This stand of the board occasioned more delay but finally, the estimates were forthcoming and they proved satisfactory to the board. The local railroad representatives stated, however, that the company could not begin work on the viaduct until the estimates of the cost of the work had been sent to and approved by the Pittsburg offices. Just when these estimates were sent to Pittsburg is not known, but it is known that the boaYd has never been informed as to whether the estimates met with the approv - al of the Pittsburg officials. These estimates have been in the hands of ' the Pittsburg officials for over a month and the board is patiently waiting for the day when the company will make a statement as to whether it condemns or approves of the estimated cost. If the company Dursues its policy of the past it is quite likely that the estimates- some fine day will be returned to the local representatives of the road with the statement that the viaduct planned for the West Second street crossing is too expensive and will order the local engineers to draw new plans for a less costly structure. This will delay the actual work of construction several months. DRUIDS CARNIVAL WILL BE OPENED TONIGHT The Work of Preparation Is Being Rushed PRECEDED BY A PARADE.

CAUGHT BY A FREIGHT. BOTH LEGS WERE CUT OFF AND THE BODY WAS BADLY MUTILATEDFUNERAL WAS HELD THIS AFTERNOON. New Paris, . O., June S Michael Marriman met with a horrible death, Saturday night while walking down the railroad track, between the depot and Walnut street crossing.

TOOK SCftLPLOCK OF JESSUP'S TRIBE IN OVERTIME GAME

Eleven-lnning Contest at Athletic Park Sunday. Afternoon Featured by an Avalanche of Errors. FROZEN FANS WITNESS FORMAL PRESENTATION. Fisher Pitched a Good Game And Deserved Better Treatment at the Hands of His Mates Detailed Score. (BY TORT.) CONNERSVILLE 8; RICHMOND 4. In an eleven-inning battle In which our athletes tried to break their own error record, established last Thursday, Connersville went south with the Jessup scalploek Sunday afternoon, score S to 4. Two hundred Fayette county bugs cheered their demons In frost-bitten tones. Sixteen hundred Richmond fans filed home after the extermination to wife, mother and an $8 a ton coal fire. " With the game won In the seventh, score 4 to 3, George Cunningham, who is preambulating at second base, banded it to our visitors in the ninth by a putrid' error. This" misplay allowed Connersville to tie the scor. Fisher, who had been pitching a masterly game despite selve-llke support, let up in the eleventh and four hits, two errors and some fat headed playirg, allowed the Fayette county men to put the game in the oven by chasing four tallies over the plate. Thefourth run in this inning came in while Manager Jessup and some of hfs hired men masticated the rag with Mr. Lally, whose work was frostier than Old Man Winter, who was nn In teresting spectator of the proceedings. Had the Richmond team been made up of nine players accustomed to the positions they held down, the score mifiht have been a different one. j Wenrer, n first baseman, and Horn, a pitcher, were In the outfield. Some of the swats which went for hits In their gardens might have been outs had these posts been held down by regular outfielders. Weather Wat Suitable. Speaking about the weather Its In arriving owing to the fact that the train was delayed by a snow storm. When the Fayette county men pranej ed On the field, headed t n Immenso 3re4ped lt3 welcome. One Connersville fan In the blvchers with hla ears incased In a handkerchief and; engaged In a hand to hand battle with) an army of grip microbes, offered to bet a quarter on his pets. " Fisher Deserved Better. Up to date F'isher, the South Pendi southpaw, has twirled two games at Athletic park and In these two contests his mates have made twenty-two errors behind him.. Mr. Fisher state that every little- bit helps. Sunday hr realized that to cop a victory it was up to him and he pitched a desperate game. This hard working Mr. Fisher deserved victory Sunday If any pitcher ever did. Iu the third Connersville broke through the ice and scored one run. The local's only batting rally off Irish LIndsley came the following inning. Hits by Jessup, Mlnrler. Weaver and Horn, together with Cunny's life on an error, scored three runs. Jessup started the rally but, Casey Horn created the real havoc. With the bases playing to standing room only Mr. Horn stepped to the pan with the remark, "Here's where I bust up the league." He then cracked a sharp grass teaser to right and. our noble base runners romped home. Jeseup a Pinch Hitter. In the seventh with two down and Ritter and Miller on the bags through the liberality of Mr. LIndsley, the Manager, whose work ' throughout the game was the one redeeming feature, again proved that he is the most reliable pinch hitter on the team. The, score was a tie and the game a tight, one. Meeting one in the groove he spanked It out for a single and the Rabbit scored from second. This, en ded the chapter bo far as we are concerned. Four to three looked good for a winner and the populace was much elated. Even the official score keeper, wrapped in a horse blanket, Ms book coated with frost and the rubber tip of his pencil frozen, for-, got his miseries for the time being and joined the populace and war correspondents in glad erie of victory. All Due to an Error. Nothing doing for Connersville in the eighth and tb Big Noise still in festing the lot. A 4 to ?. victory cin ched. Then came- the ninth and the awakening.
