EASTERN RoUTE.-The consolida-
ton of the Cleveland, Columbus &
Cincinnati, and the Bellfontaine
Railroads has made this route without
a superior to the Eastern cities. The
old Bee Line F" was always a favor
lite with our people, and under the
present management, the route has
lost none of It's attractions, but rather
added thereto. To pleasure seekers
it offers the most direct route to the
Lakes, to Niagara Falls, the St. Law
renee, and White Mountains, and its
time is unsurpassed by any competing
line. Close connection is made at
Indianapolis with the Evansville ex-
press train at z :35 p. NJ, with sleeping
cars running through to Cleveland
without change, offering the best ac-
commodations to travellers.
MIsREPREsENTATIoN.-Th Comr-
Ter copies the article from the New
Albany Commercial on our city
finances, which we have already no.
ticed, and seeks to make capital
against us. We are not responsible
for the false statement of the Conn
nterciat, but we do stand by our de-
claration, which the Courier does not
deny. that the city orders, within the
past few months, have been lower
than at any time since the last Dem
ocratic city administration, under ex-
Mayor HEWsoN. IF that fact is an
injury to the city, it is not our fault,
but should be c~hargeable to those
who have brought it about.
