stands very thick in many places.
Three years ago the gramma grass
formed good hold, but the growth
this year is greatly larger than that

pasture. 1t is several inches high.

A CHANGE DESIRABLE.

The Interests of the Pullman Car Company
Neglected at Indianapolis.
Parties who wish to take the sleeping coaches,
which stand on the spur tracks west of the
Union Depot. complain of the great difficulty
In aseertaining the routes over which they run.
ehere are six of these coaches usually on these
tracks nightly, and on neither is there a dis
hnguishing mark to tell which of the roads
they go out over. Especially are strangers
troubled by this negligence. The pOrters often
do not come around until short time before
ihe leaving hour Another practice in vogue
which greatly inconvenience passengers, is
that the coaches are, three -fourths of hour or
more before time for the departure of the late
trains, hauled off OF the spur tracks into

The Rolling Stock in Bad Condition When
Traffic Is Heavy.
The superintendent of locomotive power of
the Wabash, St. Louis q Pacific states that 27
per cent of their engines are now in the shops
for repairs, when they were never more needed
for moving the business of the road. This is one
of the results of the economical streak that came
over the Wabash management few months
ago, when sweeping reductions were made in
the forces at the shops their whole system.
Since then engines have been smashed up,
broken and badly demoraliZed and now, in the
best business season there is not power enough
to mOvo the freight offered with a fair degree of
promptness even. The freight cars, as well. are.
a large per cent. of them out of repair and in
the saving of a few thousands in shop hands they
VIII lose many thousands of dollars by being
unable to take care of the traffic offered.

President Devereux, of the Bee-iine system,
and inspection party left yesterday for st, Louis
The railroad reporter of tho journal accom-
panied the party as far as Terre Haute, and in
social chat President Devereux dropped
few remarks which will bear
repetition. As regards the weakness
Df the stock of the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
Cinnati & Indianapolis road, he said it had no
Significance whatever. There were not 1000
shares all told, on the market. English capital
Ssts and Vanderbilt held most of the stock They
knew the value of the property, and the plans
regarding its future operation, and they
would not part with the stock,
which was to-day, President Devereux
said, worth fifty cents on the dollar more than at
the extension of the Indianapolis IL st. Louis
road to Kansas City and making the projected

will run from Litchtield to point above 81.

mates that the parties controlling the Bee-llne
system were behind the movement. At any rate,
he said the Journal was safe in saying that In
due time the I. e. st. L. would have an independ-
ent line to Kansas City. When questioned as to
the Crunk-line pool he said he had no fears that
ht would go to pieces. In the past 1t had done
and neither of the trunk lines could afford to
nut loose from it. Mr.. Devereux spoke in very
complimentary terms of Commissioner Fink,
