RAILROAD MATTERS.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
BALTIMORE, Sept 2S.-Ihc national CONNER.
eial convention to-day adopted resolutions
recommending railroad and transportation COM
panies 10 reduce local rates for freight and pas
sage nearer to the proportion to through rates,
and tnvoring the construction of an air line rail
road from Cincinnati to Chattanooga
NARROW GAUGE RAILROADS.
Upon the subject of narrow gauge railroads. Il
report was adopted which states that enough Is
known from reports, supposed and believed to
be reliable, of narrow gauge roads in Wales,
Switzerland and other countries, to Justify their
belief that the diminished cost Of the conStruc-
tons of three feet gauge roads may BE- estimated
at from half to two.hirdS of the cost Of the usual
gauge roads.
There is an increase in the facility of over
coming heavy grades andaccomplishng sharper
curves, and greatly diminished cost of opera
ting. These considerations point to such class
of roads, as offering. at least To many sections of
our country great inducements their conStruc-
ton; and while they may not become, or may
not be suitable for long lines of roads, or the
transportation of all kinds and classes of
ireighs, yet as convenience for local traffic,
and bringing into railroad connection sections
of the country where the physical geography
would make the construction of wide gauge
roads impracticable, either from great cost or
SparSeneSS OF population, they must become
valuable, and mark new era in the nation.
Reports of such roads all give the results in
construction as about $4,000 per mile, includ-
ing the equipment; the cost of operating alone
is one third less than hewIdc gauge, and the
rate of speed in travel equal TO that of other
roads in this country. Lieut.. Governor Stan
nard, of Wisconsin, who presented the above
report, said the committee was also strongly in
favor OF constructing all roads upon uniform
gauge, and air lines

The Office of city auditor, as provided for in
the new ordinance relating 10 the finances of the
city, is an important one, which will require the
work of a man especially adapted, and for which
the salary will necessarily be $500 IL year or
more. No name has yet been mentioned in con-
necton with the office; but the matter of cccting
an auditor will be brought up at the next city
council meeting, and at that time candidates
will probably be heard from.
The Boston Journal says: "Thc Worcester
Office of the Western Union telegraph company
did its work splendidly in the transmission of
the telegraph reports oil the convention" The
compliment is well deserved. About one hundred
thousand words of newspaper dispatches were
sent from the Worcester office, in addition to
the large amount of associated press mes
sagcs, ami the enormous increase of private
dispatches. All were sent OF promptly and
satisfactorily, and Manager Bradford and
his corps of assistants received the united
praises of all who had occasion to send dis
patches, The amount of matter sent for the
press would completely fill paper the size
of the Spy, and there would be enough left TO
fill two pages more of the size. 1t is safe TO
say that this is the largest amount of news
