FAST-TRAIN TROUBLES.

The managers Of the Western roads held q
meeting yesterday to decide upon the course to
pursue in regard to the fast-tratn trouble. AS
heretofore stated, the Eastern trunk lines want
the Western roads to shorten their time sutd-
cicntly to get in here at about 80 p. H., instead
Of about O clock p. m., thus allowing the trunk
lines to get out of here ut nbout o'clock p. H.,
enabling them to reach New York the next
evening at about o'clock. The trunk lines
want to run these fast trains to compete against
the Baltimore s. Ohio, which has recently put on
u fast trim. 4 meeting Of the various Eastern
roads Is To be held in New York next Tuesday
to take Action in regard to this matter. Inc
Western managers are rather fndtsposed to 70
to Now York believing that the matter can De
arranged by telegraph At yesterdays meetings
it was found that the roads arc not u unit on
this question. The Alton Is anxious to mike
the change, provided tho arrangement ts made
permanent. The three lowa lines arc reluctant
to make the change. but may do SO, provided
the trunk lines make certain concessions. It
WIS decided at yesterdays meeting to eend
dIspatch to the trunk-line managers asking
them II they meant, In tho event OF their con-
scnttng to tho chAnEe, to arrange their eched-
ucs SO that the Chicago lines will be apie to gel
into New York ut the samo time ns the St. Louis
lines, No answer to tho dispatch had been re-
rcIyod last night. It is beloved that the trunk
fines will answer in the Affirmative.
The fast train of the Fort Wayne which LETT
here ut o'clock p. m was taken ou last even
ing until the meeting at New York has taken
action in the matter.

the charge vas one of petit larceny. Fine
