1t may be well enough to talk about the COM
petition the Central Pacific is to have in the
near future, but 1t ends in talk, as the compile
tion OF the Southern Pacific road will in no way
establish competition with the Central Pacific,
for a large part of the Southern Pacific road is
operated by the Central Pacific at terms very
advantageous to the latter. Moreover, If is a
Saet, though not generally known, that the Cen
trail Pacific Company derives 10 per cent. of its
gross earnings and 80 per cent. of its net earn
Jugs from local traffic for which iJ has no com
petitor. By the by, the net earnings of the
Central Pacific are showing up very Handsomely
rs compared with last years. This is attribute
bile TO the fact that last year the Central Pacific
Company carried upward of So, 900. 900 worth
of construction material for the Southern Pacific
railroad at cost. This swelled the gross earn
ings, but did not add a dollar to the net earnlngs,
Changes have been made in the management, so
that operating expenses will be less this year

Nurses Training School.

The training school for nurses, under the
management and auspices of the Flower Mis-
sion, will soon be in active operation, thanks to
the energy Of the committee in charge of tho
noble project. The work of furnishing the boacd-
house on West New York street is progressing,
but the ladies ind that many articles of furni-
ture are needed for cOmfOrt and convenience
which they have not the funds to purchase, and
an appeal is authorized to the public, for the do
nation of furniture. Any article in the ordi-
nary domestic economy will not come amiss,
and will be thankfully received. They may be
sent direct to the house (the residence of the
late Judge Perkinsl on New York street, in front
of Military Park. or if notice is sent to Miss Mary
RaTideR the article will be called for at the house
of the donor. Miss Traver, a graduate of Belle
vue Hospital, New York, who is highly recon-
mended by DR.. Taylor, superintendent of that
has been selected to take charge OF
the school, ana will arrive in Indianapolis, it is
expected, this week. Action upon the applications
thar have been received for places will be de-
ferred until after her arrival, when, as soon as
may be, the list OF pupils will be made up and
the practical work of the scheme begun.

miscellaneous Notes.

The reliability Of the Westinghouse brake has
become so well established by use on passenger
ears that it Is now being extensively applied to
freight cars. 1t is stated that the Westinghouse
company now has orders to fit up 10000 freight
cars with the brake.
The new bridge of the st. Paul, Minneapolis Il
Manitoba, which is being built across the river
at Minneapolis. will be completed this fall. IL Ia
constructed of stone, will Two
tracks and will be one of the most massive
structures in the country.
Boston papers say that Boston is not selling
its Union Pacific stock. The Boston STOCK
ledger gained 10000 shares from New York
since July 3, and now records 226,000 shares.
The gain for the last few days has been at the
rate of 800 shares per diem.
1t IS estimated that tho recent accident on the
Rome, WATERFOWL & Ogdensburg road Will cost
the company $500, 900. One fourth that amount
would have equipped every train on the road
with the Westinghouse air-brake. with that
in service this costly accident would not have
occurred.
General Manager Clarke, Of the Union Pacific,
is now in New YORK, and he tells the New York
capitalists that the outlook Ia excellent for all
the Western roads, and that the crops are up TO
a full average. Business men In the west are
hopeful OF the future, and are preparing for a
large fall and winter trade. He reports that
there ia no disposition among railroad men 10
engage IN building additional lines, but the old
roads show a tendency TO consolidate their man
agement and reduce expenses.

COMMENT.
Decline Extension to Kansas City
Thought To BE a Grand Scheme.

Bee-Line Extension to Kansas City
Thought To BE a Grand Scheme.
TIE talk even that the Decline system is to be
extended west of st. Louis to Kansas City, is a
matter in which railroad and business men at
this point show a great deal of interest. Off
Gals whose Judgment is usually safe to rely
upon, express the opinion that such q road is
really needed to place the Vanderbilt railway
interests, of which the Decline is a part, upon
eqnal ground with that of his COM
petitors, more especially the Wabash, st. Louis
K Pacific. Then the belief is general that the
building of another road from st. Louis to Kan
Gas City means the building of another much
needed railroad bridge at ST, Louis. Indian
apOlis railroad and business men, however, are
she more Interested as 1t will give Indianapolis
BOAds q through line to Kansas City and not
leave them at the mercy of Jay GOulds caprices
rs re CARDS getting business from points west of
the river. Railroad officials now feel that at any
time the Jay Gould people may take a "nif" at
some misunderstanding and seriously cripple
their business by increasing bridge expenses
sad cost OF terminal facilities at st. Louis, while
with another road and a second bridge the
Wabash people would naturally be more reason
able in their demands.

Handsome Increase in Through Traffic Both
East and West Bound.

Handsome Increase in Through Traffic Both
East and West Bound.
The train records show a handsome increase
IN through business with all lines which carry
east and west-bound freights. 1t will be noticed
that the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, mid
die division, is coming into prominence as a
through line. Both the Bee-line and Penn
sylyania company were thought to be import
ant roGds before they moved as many cars as
we've moved over the l.. B. & w. last week. The
large increase on shipments of grain in the last
few days is surprising both grain dealers ana
railroad men. New wheat aud oats and consider
able quantities or old corn are going forward,
and some tobacco is still moving. West-bound
traffic as well is heavy and with some lines
heavier than at the corresponding period last
year. 1t is noticeable that the movement of
loaded cars west about equals that OF the east
bound movement and as both east aud
Eest-bound rates are now well maintained, the
freight earnings for August will doubtless foot
up quite satisfactorily. The north and south
rDahs are handling their usual amount OF Dusl-
meas for this season of the year. Local traff1c Is
COED with all roads, and promises to bs for some
wrecks to come. Below Is given the NUMBER or
cara received and forwarded at this point in the
week ending August 18, compared with that OF
the preceding week:

TWO INDIANAPOLIS GIRLS.
Who Went Wrong but Wanted to Return
Home and be Forgiven.

The Kansas City Journal of Saturday gives
the following account of the misdOings OF two
young girls of this city.
"a rather funny coincidence IN names was the
foundation of an interesting romance which mas
just come TO light in this city. Several weeks
ago the police authorities received a letter from
"A well known and highly respected WIDOW lauy
In indianapolis stating that her niece, a beautiful
girl about sixteen years of age, mad been absent
from home several months and that she had
every reason to believe was leading a Ire OF
shame in Kansas City. The latter furnished "A
description of the missing girl, together with 'he
name she was supposed to be gong under, anu
requested the authorities to makea searcn Ior
her, and In case she was found to notify the
writer, who would furnish money to pay her
transportation to indianapolis.
"a detective was detailed to work up the case,
and within three days he found, as he supposed.
the object of the search living in a Fourth
street nagniO. The girl answered to the name
and description given in the letter, ana When
questioned about her parentage and nome, WIFI
out being informed as to the reason OF the ln-
Quiry, she gave names identical to those in the
letter, and admitted that she had run away from
home in Indianapolis a few months ago. Inc
anxious aunt was telegraphed that her niece
had been found, and she Immediately forwarded
a draft for a sufficient sum to cover her trans
porUation to INDIANAPOLIS: The girl expressed a
strong desire to go back home and reform her
self, and accordingly her ticket was purchased
and she departed for Indianapolis. With her de-
parture the police authorities dismissed the mat
ter from their minds, and were quite naturally
much surprised a week later to receive from the
aunt q startling letter announcing that the
girl had arrived safe, but although the lame
was the same and the resemblance very strlk-
ing, she was not the person wanted at all The
letter further stated that the girl was as much
disappointed as the family, and at once paid
back the money advanced for her Transports
ton. She was unable to find her relations, they
having removed to Ohio during her absence.
and she again abandoned herself to a life OF
shame. The letter enclosed a picture of the right
girl, by aid of which tile officers had no diit1eulty
In locating her i'll another disreputable house u
day or two afterwards. After some persuasion
abe related her entire history, and agreed TO re-
form and return to her folks. The anxious rela-
tive WAS notified of the finding Of the real lost
one, and on yesterday another draft to cover
travelling expenses was received, and the errlng
bnt repentant one started by last nights train
fOr her Indiana home. Out OF respect for the
reputation of the family the names are with
held. but the facts are substantially correct as
detailed above"
