A delicate question of law, says the Bridgeport Farmer, is likely to come up before the board of appraisers re- cently appointed to estimate damages upon condemned property along the line of the Consolidated road. The summoning of property owners for the different hearings has been done on one order. These hearings at the present rate of one a week, will occupy all the time between now and the first of next August. As all the cases are Similar in character it is now a question whether the board of appraisers will reserve their decisions until they have com- pleted their hearings or give decisions in each case as they go along. If the board reserves its' decision in each case the railroad company will be greatly handicapped in their work, as it will be unable to make use of any of the property affected by the proceed- ings until all the hearings have been held, which would be sometime next fall. If the appraisers decide each case as they go along, their decision in one is likely to have an important bearing upon the others. If they deal liberal- ly with the property owners the rail- road company would probably not wait for them to hear all the cases, but would arrive at some sort of a settle- ment with the remainder of the con- testing property owners at once. The work of four—tracking from Red- ficld’s quarry westward still continues, and has now reached the Lockwood crossing a short distance north of the Fairfield depot. The large force of Italians now at work on the improve- ment completes a stretch of about 1,000 feet daily. Rails are being distributed along the line easterly from Redfield’s quarry as far as the Tin bridge, and work in this direction will be com- menced in a few days. ‘ Construction of the north abutment to a mammoth arch bridge, to be con- structed across the tracks just north of the Fairfield depot, has been com- menced. In connection with the four- tracking improvements changes have been inaugurated in the signal tower system, and instead of the signal pole with the two signal boards, new poles have been erected with two branches at the top, and places for four signal boards. These are all operated from the signal tower, the same as hereto- fore, each of the four signal boards representing one track. Freight Rates Are Very Low. BUFFALO May 18.—Old vessel owners at this port say that not in thirty-five years have lake freights on grain out of Chicago been so low as at present. Wheat is now carried to Buffalo for 1% cents per bushel, which means about three-quarters of a cent net. Corn has been shipped at one cent, or about one-halfof a cent net. The canal freights are also badly demoralized. Wheat is being carried to New York for 2% cents, and it may go lower yet. This is less than the expense of the trip with a fair up freight. The cause of these re markably low freight rates is the light movement by water of grain, ore, coal and lumber—the four articles on which the lake traffic is built—and the overproduc- tion of vessel tonnage in the past few years. The Rev. Heber Newton’s Teachings. N EWYORK, May 18.—The charges brought by Father Ignatius against the orthodoxy of the Rev. B. Heber Newton, D. D., rector of All Souls’ church, of this city, have re- sulted in bringing out a petition to Bishop Potter, of New York, requesting that an inquiry be instituted to ascertain the truth of the rumors respecving the teachings of the reverend gentleman. The two points in Dr. Newton’s teachings that are to be submitted to the bishop are his alleged de nial of the miraculous conception of Christ and of the resurrection of the human body of Jesus. The petition is signed by nearly all the high dignitaries of the Protestant Episcopal church,in the diocese, and forces the bishop into a course in which silence can no longer be maintained. Killed with a Double Barreled Gun. NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 18.——A negro named Bill Stevenson, living six miles south of Athens, Ala., shot and killed a negro woman named Susie Jackson. The sherifif is out after the murderer, and if he is caught there is no telling what will hap« pen, as the colored people are excited over the murder. Switchmen Not Sustained. CHICAGO, May 18.—After a session which lasted from 11 until 9 o’clock the Supreme Council of the United Order of Railroad Employes decided to disapprove the grievance of the Switchmen’s Mutual Aid association against the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad company.
