A NEW YORK DenEsrIC TRAGEDY

One Of those frequent city paragraphs,
relating an inquest upon the body OF a
woman who had died suddenly while visit
ing friends up town, was followed up the
other day by a reporter whose time hung
on his hands. He evoked a tragedy, whose
final details be gives at length in the Nelg
York WOrld, while its secret is left to be
cOnjeCtured. The mother Of six children,
Just turning forty, goes out one afternoon
and does not return. After / in the
morning she is brought in, feet foremost,

The rats from Phlladelp hll are in all
cases, except TO PiJtsburg, Pa, and Detroit,
Mich, just 81 below those Of New York TO
the same points. The Piusburg- Baltimore
rate-Sg-.s 80 cents hjgher than tue regu-
lar rate prevailing before the war. All the
other new rates are below those Of ante,
bellum times. BefOe the war the fare
from Baltimore 10 Chicago was $40, st.
Louis SD, Cincinnati SIG, Columbus
$3.50 and Louisville so. The Baltimore
and Ohio cut-rates have been to Chicago
SO, 10 st. Lotus SIS, Cincinnati $40, Co
lumbus 50 and Louisville So. The Penn
sylvania COmpIny's cut rates have been
somewhat lower, being to Chicago IS, St.
Louis $40 and Cincinnati So. The new
rates have been adopted only BY the Penn
syivania and Baltimore and Ohio cOmpa-
MES.
Il is the opinion OfsOme railroad officials
that the through rate from Chicago TO New
York will be put up before long to So,
which will occasion another advance ali
along the line. At present, If a person
wishes to 60 from this city to Baltimore,
instead Of buying a regular ticset for Sl2
p, he can buy one through TO New York
for Slj. e Arriving at Baltimore he would
be possessed Of a coupon costing him s. IS.
and worth IS 30. This could be readily
disposed otto the scalpeTs at rates profitable
to both.
1t IS understood That there will be no
material advance on Eastern and Western
bound freights for the present There is
so little Of forwarding treigh,s in either d.
rection just now that it is probable tie
rates vii remain unchanged until tall.

Cincinnati Gazette, July !

Cincinnati Gazette, July :.
Tie railroad war between the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania Central roads,
which has been regarded by the travelling
public with so much satisfa ,iiOn, is at an
end, and passenger rates over these lines,
Eastward and Westward, have been ad-
vancad nearly to the ante-bellum standard.
The conference which resulted in this dec
lIratiOn Of peace was held nearly a month
ago, but circumstances have prevented an
immediate resumption Of higher rates.
These circumstances consisted for the
most part in The attitude taken 6y the
Michigan Central, which insisted that the
rate from Chicago to New York should not
be put up higher than SIS. President JOY
was appealed to and argued with to con
sent to a SD standard, but refused. Il is
supposed that the Michigan Central, in
this position, is backed by the Erie.
After lively telegTaphic and mail Cor
respOndence, il was determined on Satur-
day last to advance passenger fares between
the West and East on the SIS Chicago basis,
Under this adjustment of difficulties, the
following schedule Of new rates has gone
into effect
