RAILROAD FREIGHTS.

Movement of Companies to Charge Trans-portation by Actual Weight .

Chicago, July 86.—The railroads Lavadiscovered that they are carrying too muchfreight for the money which they receive forit. A few years ago a freight oar was builtso as tocarry about 20,000 pounds of mer-chandise, but repeated enlargement of oarshave brought their capacity at the presentday up to 80,000 pounds. Tbe E&sterntrunk lines have agreed that therefore every-thing shall be weighed at the pointof distri-bution and the freight collected by weight.The western lines willadopt the same rule.The initiatory steps toward a reform of thepractice ofunderbidding Of freight has beentaken by some of the linesterminating at Chicago. The three roads

composing the Chicago division of theSouthwestern railway association, viz: theChicago, Burlington & Quinoy; Chicago,Rook Island &Pacific, and Chicago & Alton,have been charging shippers for the actualweight of their freight. Yesterday repre-sentatives of the Chioago, Milwankee & St.Paul, IllinoisCentral, Chicago &Northwest-ern, and Chioago and Eastern Illinois rail-waysmet by invitation at the office of Com-missioner Midgely and agreed to collect ratecharges on allshipments according to aotualweightoftbe car load. The weighing willbe performed by outside parties who shall beunder the pay of all the lines centering inthe city. Commistfbner Midgely was re-quested to draw up an agreement which willbe submitted to the lines for signature at anadjourned meeting to be held on next Tues-day.

Drowned byaPrisoner— Tragic occurrence

Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 23.—

A tragicevent occurred here yesterday at midnight.In the afternoon a prisoner named MikeCarroll, of notorious antecedents, made hisescape from the provincial jail and crossingRed river by the temporary pile trestle bridgefor the Pacific railway,now almost completed,went up the railway track and took to thewoods. Chief Constable Power and sub-Constable Bell followed in pursuit, andfinally tracked jthe fugitive to his stack,where he was compelled to throw up hishands and surrender. After handoumnghim the officers returned to a handcar whichthey had in use, and compelled the prisonerto assist inworking his passage back to St.Boniface, where they proposed tocross to Winnipeg. The steam ferry hav-ing laid up for the night, a small boat wasengaged. Chief Owen entered first. Theprisoner then jumped on the gunwale, up-setting the boat. Power clinched him, andboth fellin the water. Power never rose,

but his body was recover this morniDg bydragging. The prisoner roserose once, then disappeared. Some peoplethink he has escaped, but ConstableBell, who closely watched, ready to giveassistance to either man, says itwas as lightas day, and he could not have failed to seeeither of them ifpossible to aid. The in-quest on Power washeld to-day,and a verdiotrendered accidentally drowned.

Sherman.His father was for many yenis sergeant ma-jor of the Second Dragoon guards m theBritish army. Alate report says the body

ofCarroll has been found.

Bismarck's Successor.

The course of promotion whioh shall de-velop a successor to Prince Bismarok out ofPrince yon Hoheulohe-Sehillingsffirst, a Ba-varian gentleman ofthe highest culture andthe utmost caution as a diplomatist, is, saysthe London Examiner, steadily progressing.

Ithas just been decided by the Chancellorand the Emperor that he shall,whenever Count Stolb3rg-Weraige-rode, the present vice chan-cellor of the German Empire,, is absentfrom Berlm, act as substitute for the Count.Itmust be somewhat difficult to develop a

Bismarck ;but it is well to find that thepresent chancellor reflects upon the faot that,though a man of blood and iron, he cannotlast forever. There is little doubt thatPrince Bismark is anxious forrest. He hasnow been) almost twenty years inoffice, andhis administration has been but abattle and amarch; and he willbeknown as the ministerand Chancellor who always had his hand on

his swore. If Prince Hohenlohe, who isstill nominally German ambassador toFrance, ever occupies the Chancellorship,

itmay be taken forgranted that the unity

of Germany «illnot be weakened by hispelicy. Itwillundoubtedly improve the re-lations between Prussia and Bavaria, which,since the Ruhdhardt affair, have been grow-ing colder and colder.

vious to the start Ford had the call at 4 to 1.The fact that the first heat was dead betweenthe two horses in the fast time of2:19)* didnot change the betting. Both horses were sentfor all they were worthin the second heat, andit was a throat latch contest almost to the wire

when Hannis broke and Ford won in 2:16%,reducing \u25a0bis record in '\u25a0. one bound almost 4seconds. The third heat was another desper-ate struggle, until inside tho distance whenHannis'stumbled and broke, Ford winningin2:19 Another heat and Ford wouldbe victor.How Turner saved defeat withIlsnnis let theChicago Times tell: "• .;.:

':-:- '̂:;; < ."The three were a good Bena-on, ana

went away at a merry clip fora fourth heat, tothe quarter in35}* seconds, where Ford had alength the best ofit. Along the far side Turnerreversed his tactics again and;sent his horsefor all he was worth,"and he came up inch byinch. Just before reaching the half in1:09 %—a 2:16 Hannis had a clear length leadand took the pole. To tho three-quarters in1:44 held the same lead, and on the home-stretch itwas •fought out right to the wire.The gray horse caught the whip in livelystyleand came up, little by little, till, at the dis-tance, it was impossible to tell which wasahead. Turner sat :up :straight in his sulky,never moved amuscle of his face, held hishorse steady, and kept touching him gentlywith the whip. The fellow understood whatwas wanted of him. Itseemed that one or theother must break; but they came onsteadilyand squarely. Ford bad no more inhim. Attwenty feet- from the wire it was impossible tosay which was ahead, when Turner let go the

black stallion's head and he shoved, his noseunder the wire, winningthe heat bya nostril;time,2&8& Etta Jones just missed the flag.If a heat was ever wonbysheer good driving,that was. The coolness and nerve displayed by

Tamer in a tight.place, where the least mis-take wouldhave proved fatal, was somethingseldom seen, and the judgment displayed as tothe capabilities ofJ&iß horse unsurpassed. Inshort, he proved himself an artist in the bestsense of the terra." \u25a0 . -

These four heats had done the business forFord, and well they might.

~There are few

horses on the turf that can trot four heats in2:19)*, 2:16%, 2:19, 2:18^, and have muchleftinhim, but Hannis was equal to the occa-sion, and took the next two heats as he pleased,bis stride being accommodated to Ford's dis-tressed condition.

-The race, in all its fea-

tures, is oneof the best ever trotted, and gun-doubtedly wellrepaid Jack Turner for the ter-rible disappointment of 1878. That season Han-nis was entered through the Great Eastern cir-cuit. He trotted very well at Cleveland andbuffalo, but when he reached Rochester he wasall off. The writer was at that meeting andwellremembers the.heart-sick

-look Turner

wore after givingHannis several -.< trials with

2:35 as the best he could get out :;\u25a0 of :him, ;;hegave the order to ship his horses home, sp Itwas a sorryday for Turner, but his day of tri-umph came at Chicago. Afortunate .feature,

too.is that whileHannis won such a magnificent

race he did not hurt his record, still being eli-gible to the 2:19:class, while Charley Ford,beaten, jumped from . the 2:20 class, in.which he was formidable, into the free for all,

where against such horses as St. Jnlien, Hope-fuland Darby, his chances for shekels are ex-ceedingly slim. _/ -:' \u25a0; "\u25a0.

The free forall race was disappointing, notthat three heats in2:17%, 2:18&, 2:l6}*is nota grand performance, but the people expectedsomething better, and had Hopeful or:Darby

been able to have crowded St. Julian, there isno doubt they would have been gratified, astheking was not seriously pushed in any heat. |

Xew Yorkers Flocking to See the Egyptian

Relic.[New York World.1

Half a dozen extemporized rowboat fer-ries from points on the North river shorenear the foot of West Twenty-third streetdid a bri9kbnsiness all day yesterday trans-ferringpassengers to and from the steamerDessonp, which is still laying at her srat an-

cborago in midstream. Commander Gor-ringe found early that the invitation or per-mission given by him to the public throughthe World on the morning ofhis arrival islikely to be very generally accepted.Having much business ashore, ho leftthe ship inthe morning and was absentmost ofthe day. In his absence youngHassan, an Arab of tender years, whose eyesare as bright as buttons, and to whose nakedlittle black leet no part of the steamerseems sacred, appeared to feel that the obli-gatioDS and duties of a captain inport restedinhis diminutive person. He prostratedhimself before allcomers, and with a majes-tio waveof his little soiled hand usheredthem toward the forward hatch with the re-mark: "Seemucha bolisk." The vesselduring Commander Gorringe's stay on shorewas inreality in charge of the mate, a trimyoung sailor hailing from Maine, who hav-ing last spring been shipwrecked in the eaßtwas glad to take berth on the Desaong. Twoor three other sailors, aoting now in the ca-pacity of watchmen, and the veryproper andsomewhat gorgeously attired "Alii,"whoserves as a useful body-servant to the com-mander, are about all that are left of thelarge crew which arrived inthe vessel.

With lighted candles as cautiously carriedas though the ship's cargo were gunpowderinstead ofcorrugated stone, one or other ofthe watchmen politely showed each visitordown into the dark region in which theobelisk lies. Hassan as a rule trotted be-hind seeking to hide the perpetual grin,with gWhich either nature or hisforeign surroundings have provided hislittle round swarthy faoe in the folds of hisflowinggarment. He reaped aharvest ofpen-nies and ten cent pieces, and grew happierand more radiant with every moment. Thesmall white donkey which, though broughtfrom the land of the Obelisks, is quite asfresh and frisky as any of his Amerioancousins, was ridden by this young Arabfranticallyup and down the ship s deck, andwas made to jump over umbrellas and walk-ingsticks poked at him by the visitors.

The visitors for the most part did not havethe appearance of being Egyptologists, butthey were invariably curious to get a glimpseof the great stone and they invariably re-turned to the deck after visiting itina wildstate of enthusiasm. One old gentleman,who said he hailed from the interior of Il-linois, came up out of the hold breathless,but glowing with excitement. "WLich isCommander Gorringe?" he exclaimed, striv-ing tograsp the hands of everybody aroundhim at once. "I want to shake him bythe hand. Inever expecoted tosee any thinslike this, sir. Inever did. Itis a real tr>umph. Where is the commander? Whereis he?" The old gentleman was informed ofthe commander's absence and very reluct-antly went on shore, leaving a quantity ofcomplimentary messages for him. A fewladies visited the Dessoug during the day,butthe passage by small boat from the shore isnot a comfortable one, owing to the contin-uous swell that is stirred up by the Rocka-waysteamers, whose pier is near by, and theobelisk, obliging and willingas are those incharge of it,willnot be generally or exten-sively seen until itis taken out of the ship.

STATE REFORM SCHOOLWrit of Habeas Corpus for tbe Release ofPatrick MeDononffh—History of the Caseand Issues Involved.

- '-'\u25a0 '

\u25a0\u25a0 The recent action of Judge Dickinson cf

the district court for Bine'Earth county, in

refusing to allow the retain of the boy Con-tine, escaped from the State reform school,on the ground that the commitment of theboy was illegal, in that the sentence fixednodefinite term of imprisonment, and that theboy had already served the fulltime fixed bythe statute for the punishment of offenses ofthe character of which he was foundguilty, :raised an important questionas to the status of the reform school, andas to the extent itcould be used inthe pun-.ishment of crime by minors. •Fortunatelyfor the good of the

-institution, a case has

been promptly made through an applicationto the State supreme ,court, yesterday, byMessrs. Mead &Thompson, for Mrs. AnnMoDonongh, fora writof habeas corpus, re-quiring ', Superintendent Riheldaffer to pro-duce in court the body of her Son, confinedin the institution, and show cause, if anythere be, whysuch boy should not'be dis-charged, and restored to his mother.,Itwillbe remembered that on the 4th -of

October. 1879, the warehouse of O. MoFar-land was robbed of a quantity < of. cigars,valued at $35, making the offense grand lar-ceny. Subsequently Frank Donnelly, Tim-othy McCarthy, James Connelly, BartlettConnelly and Patrick MoDonongb, allminorsbetween the ages of13 and 17 years, werearrested for the robbery, for wbioh an in-dictment indoe form was found on the 17th,

the prisoners pleading not guilty.'On the-

18 th,by permission of the court the boyswere allowed to :amend their plea of notguilty under the indiotment, toone of guilty of

'petty larceny.

under which Patrick McDonongh and threeof hiscompanions were sent to the reformschool, while the eldest of the party, being17 years old, was fined in the sum of 925under the statute for the punishment ofpetty larceny. '\u25a0„', , -. '.

In the case :.of Patrick McDonougb,in which case the application for a writof habeas corpus was made andgranted' yesterday, the sentence of the courtwas inthe following«language: "The sen-tence of

-. the - court is that yon,Patrick MoDonough, be committed "tothe guardianship of the . board ofmanagers of the State of Minnesota reformschool during yourminority." •-\u25a0'\u25a0'*''• Under this sentence the boy,Patriok Mc-Donough, has been • confined at the reformschool for the period of nearly a year, whilea companion in his crime, simplylbecauseof his having arrived at

-a moremature age,

was permitted to go free upon the paymentof a fine of $25. , Mrs. McDonougb, inherpetition to the supreme court, that a writofhabeas corpus issue, sets forth that she is awidow, and : ;is '..-. deprived

'of

the assistance and society of her childwho has already ;been detained incustodyfor a greater length of time .than is pre-scribed by the statute forhis offence ;andthat the sentence of: the court is illegalandvoid, for the reasons— ji;"'

First—Because the term of the sentence isfor anuncertain length of time;and

1 Second— That the law does not permit anindividual to be incarcerated for the crimeof petty larceny for a longer period thanone year. .;':\u25a0\u25a0' -'

9The points involved in the case are very :

comprehensive, and seem .tocover the whole n

ground of commitments of minors to the t\

reform school forioffences which, commit-i

ed by adults, would subject the perpetratorsunder the statutes of the State to anominalfine, or imprisonment for aperiod of timenot exceeding one year, or both, in the dis-cretion of the court. \u25a0 The decision of thecourt will be watched with interest by ourpeople generally, and especially by the re-form school

'management. The writ of

habeas corpus is made returnable Thursdaynext, the 29th inst.
