Armour's Control of the Belt Line Giyes Him the Whip Hand. IX A POSITION TO DICTATE EATES Chicago, Xovember 22. Gradually light is breaking through the clouds that have hung over the great stock yards deal on the part of the "Big Four" packers, Armour, -Swift, Morris and Libby, who re cently purchased eight sections of land, on the Calumet river and Lake Michigan, in Indiana, about SO miles southeast ot Chi cago, where it tras announced they were about to erect immense slaughtering and packing establishments, deserting their present quarters at the "Union Stock Yards. The holders of Stock Yards securities have had occasion to do some sharp think ing since the packers announced their in tention of leaving them hish and dry with out any business and with only a piece of real estate worth but a small part of their total capitalization to rerjresent their recent outlay. They have decided tin a coup which promises live competition ior the migrating packers. WILL GO I2.-TO COMPETITION. It is stated that they will raise something like $10,000,000, erect preat establishments on the land already owned by the Stock Yards Company and become gigantic and active competitors of Messrs. Armour, Swift, Morris and Libby, if the latter un dertake to carry out their Indiana scheme. The "Bis 4" on the other hand, an evening paper announces, have made a combination with Drexel, Morgan & Co., who own the Chicago Outer Belt, or the Elgin and East ern Railway, which begins at "Waukegan and runs through E.'cin and Joliet in a eemi-circle, about 28 miles from Chicago on a line intending to reach Michigan City, whereby they are to control that line. President Spencer entered into a provi sional contract with the Armour-Swift-3Iorris-Libby syndicate for access to Lake Michigan through its land, and, by means of its Outer Belt Line Company, will estab lish an immense depot, stock yards and transfer system there. Dreiel, Morgan & Co. have taken time by the forelock and al ready the three Joliet roads have made an alliance with the Outer Belt Line system. GIVES AKMOUE TIIC 'WHIP HAND. These are the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis, the Kock Island and the Santa Ee, all cattle-carrying roads. Xaturallv the Baltimore and Ohio, the Lake Shore. Mich igan Central and J?U Wayne would oppose the "Big Four" belt system, but they could not suffer the loss that would result from such opposition while the three cattle carrying roads patronized it, and so it hap pens that Armour has got the whiD hand in the whole deal. He is in a position to make rates to-dar to and lrora Chicago, "Waukegan, Elgin, Au rora, Joliet, McCooland intervening points. Hence it is that the new deal commands the whole Chicago railway system, and prom ises not only to see a great system of pack ing houses and stock yards, but elevators, at the place selected. It is expected that when this deal is fullv realized at the Union Stock Yards it will put a damper on the scheme just launched to erect new packing and slaughterhouse establishments there. A well-known rail way man said to-day: "Armour hasmanagedthisthmgwell. The railway e stem that he will control in con nection with the Outer belt line will afford a much better service than that which is now being run by the old company. Every road entering Chicago will stand on an equal footing, and if the new transfer sys tem is fair and jnst on the question of tariffs it will not onlv take all the business from the old yard, but will deprive it of one of its largest sources of income. "Armour alone has been paying about $3,000,000 a year to the Stock Yards Com pany, and to other houses in proportion. They will lose this source of income, and the new concern can make money ont of its belt line in local freights, and still main tain a transfer business that will be profita ble to the roads and to the packers." It is a part of the plan to approach the National Government for 52,000,000 with which to improve the Calumet river. CHABGED WITH PELOHT. Alleged That John Berer Pat Dynamite Under a Boose. Samuel Markowitz, of Homestead, ap peared before Alderman King yesterday and made an information against John Berer, charging him with felony. The men are in business in Homestead and have fre quently quarreled. Some time last month the front of Markowitz's bouse was blown out with dynamite. The explosion was about midnight and he was in bed. He charges Berer with having made the attempt to blow up the house. The hearing will be held to-morrow at 9 o'clock. A Humane Agent Appointed at Sharon. President Eaton, of the "Western Pennsyl vania Humane Society, yesterday appointed J. "V. Starbaugh, of Sharon, Pa., to repre sent the society at that place. TOR DXSrEPSIA Use Horsford's Acid Pliosphato. Dr. Lorenzo Waite, Fittsfield, Mass., says: "From its use for a period of about eight weeks, to the exclusion of all other remedies. I attribute the restoration to health of a patient who was emaciated to the last degree, in con sequence of nervons prostration and dyspepsia. Tins patient's stomach was in such an irritable condition that he could Dot bear either llqmd or solid food. An accomplished physician of many years experience, whom I called in con sultation, pronounced his case an incurable one. At thisstage I decided to use Horsford's Acid Phosphate, which resulted as above mentioned."
