clined recently, partly in consequence of
the non-payment of the July coupons of

count of the delay in coming to any COM
plete arrangement for reorganization.
Members of the transportation Commit
tee of indianapolis called upon Judge
Gresham, few days since, and laid before
His Honor certain facts, which in their
judgment showed that NJ. L. Ingalls,, Re-
ceiver of the l., c. & L. Road, was discrim-
mating against Indianapolis and in favor
OF Cincinnati in rates for carrying freight.
1t is now fully decided to build a Union
Depot. The work, it is expected, will be-
gin this fall, and by next spring all the rail
roads, with perhaps two exceptions, will
be landing their passengers at this new de-
pot, between Smith street and Central ave-
nue. below Third. The Louisville Short
line will probably arrange to switch her
cars destined for other than the Panhandle
Road. to the Southern Road at Walton and
run them over the Southern Bridge to the
west end of the depot
The East bound freight business is at
present so heavy, owing principally to the
large amount Of grain which is passing
through the city, that none of the roads
can furnish sufficient cars to meet the de-
mand. The Little Miami Road was one
hundred and fifty cars short Yesterday and
the day before the NJ. & G. Road sent out
three hundred, which nearly exhausted the
supply. Rates at present are very firm,
and agents will not make contracts for
more than ten days ahead, being confident
that there will soon be an increase in the
rates.
