Condemnation Proceedings Against The East Dubuque Bridge— Other Track Talk. Mr. Farnan, of East Dubuque, the deputy sheriff of Jo Daviess county, Illinois, yester day morning served notice on General Booth, the secretary and manager of the Dubuque and Dunleith bridge company, to appear at Galena next week in the case of the Chicago, Burlington and Northern vs. the Ilinois Central railroad, which are condemnation suits against the bridge and tunnel. Mr. Johnston, the superintendent of the bridge, was also served. IOWA PASSENGER TRAFFIC. Representatives of all the lines interested in passenger traffic in Iowa met at the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago Wednesday for the purpose of forming an association to govern and protect local rates to common points throughout that state. There has never been an association of this kind established in Iowa, and more or less demoralization has existed. An agreement, somewhat sim ilar to that under which the Michigan Pas senger association is working, was read and submitted. A committee was appointed to prepare a constitution and by-laws, com posed of George Nourse, of the Iowa Central; E. St. John, of the Rock Island; Percival Lowell, of the Burlington, and R. Hennegan, of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North ern, with instructions to report at an ad journed meeting. A statement of the Milwaukee and St. Paul railway’s earnings for the second week in February shows an increase of $93,610 as compared with those of the corresponding week in 1885. Commissioner Midgley, on behalf of the Southwestern railway association, in reply to the requests made by committees from St. Louis and Kansas City to the effect that rates between Mississippi river points and Missouri river points be made 60 per cent of the rates current between Chicago and Mis souri river points, and that such rates be made the same as govern traffic between Chi cago and St. Paul, concludes as follows: “The rates enforced by the Southwestern as sociation on business to and from the Mis souri river in no case exceed the rate per ton per mile on like shipments carried be tween interior points in Missouri and Iowa and points on and east of the Mississippi riv er; while in some instances the rates to and from the southwest are less than those en forced on similar business from points lo cated considerably east of the Missouri river. In no respect do the Missouri river points suffer in comparison with other sec tions reached by the southwestern roads. That being the case, it is not apparent how any just complaint can be urged against the existing rates and classifications.”’ Chicago Tribune: The preliminary steps towards the formation of an association to embrace all of the lines interested in passen ger traffic within the boundaries of the state of Iowa, were taken yesterday at a meeting of general passenger agents held at the Grand Pacific. The object of the association is to govern and protect passenger rates to local points throughout Iowa. A full rep resentation responded to the call, and the greater part of the time was devoted to dis cussing a form of agreement. A committee composed of J.P. Nourse of the Central Town, E. St. John of the Chicago, Rock Is land and Pacific, Percival Lowell of the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy, and J. E. Han negan of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern, was instructed to prepare a con stitution and by-laws. The meeting then ad journed until 5 o’clock Thursday afternoon. It is stated that the necessity for such an association was made apparent by the recent misunderstanding between the St. Paul and the Rock Island, which led to an immediate declaration of war. A Santa Fe, N. M., special says: “It is an nounced here that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy has taken preliminary steps for the construction of a line of railway to the Pacific coal and that the proposed line is to cross the the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe at Dodge City, Eas., running thence southwest, touching Las Animas county in Colorado, crossing the neutral strip, and entering Mexico by way of the valley of the Dry Cimmaron; thence by way of Apaches down the Canadian river, up the Mora val ley to Las Vegas, and thence to this city. This is the route originally selected for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe from Santa Fe wastward. The line will run down the Santa Fe valley toward the Pena Blanca, thence to Wingate, and thence across the Navajo reservation westward by way of Defiance. STILL DENYING THE RUMOR. The Pioneer Press of yesterday says: A. B. Stickney, president of the Minnesota and Northwestern, was seen yesterday after noon. He was asked as to the truth of the published statement that his road would con struct an independent line to Minneapolis, build union depots in St. Paul and Minne apolis, and build an independent line from Dubuque to Chicago. To all these queries Mr. Stickney replied: They are purely the work of someone’s imagination, and not true. I knew nothing about any such plans. Of all these schemes ascribed to the Minne sota and Northwestern none receive as much credence as the one regarding the construc tion of a line from Dubuque to Chicago. Mr. Stickney has been in both cities lately, and has held while there conferences with rail road officials and other interested parties who would favor such a connection. A number of St. Paul railroaders express them selves about as follows on this project: Stickney is a big schemer, and his road will need a satisfactory Chicago connection. What more plausible, then, than that he build from Dubuque east? In regard to Minnesota and Northwestern operations in West St. Paul, an official of that road says: The flats of West St. Paul are to be the future railroad grounds of St. Paul and the center of our most important manufacturing interests. Our road was the first to enter there, and it is but natural that it should and will take or ae possible to control that territory and build it up. Our projects are not small ones. We have just received our first in voice of spring dress'goods. Our own importation direct from Paris, which include many choice novelties and fabrics. Also a beautiful line of Freres Koechlin patterns in all the correct shades for evening wear. SULLIVAN STAMPFER, ‘A Wedding in the Country.” At St. Philomena’s church, on Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock, Mr. Thomas McCann, of the firm of McCann O'Hagan of Monti, and Miss Katie Larkins were joined in wedlock, Rev.
