RAILROAD TROUBLES There IS a
probability that the famous Saratoga
compact will soon be broken. There
is trouble between the New York
Central and Pennsylvania roads, grow

latter and the Baltimore and Ohio. 1t
is alleged by the Central road that the
reduction of the rates ordered by Col.

heaviest customers of the New York
Central, and that Vanderbilt will re-

and Canadian lines further complexities
matters and now that the canal tolls
are to be reduced, the railroads will
have to look out for themselves, with
Coach man for himself. N y G.
