UNDERTAKING A BIG JOB.

Can the Trunk Lines Whip Western Roads
Into the Traces on Passenger Business?
A talk with the general passenger agents who
have returned from the Chicago meeting gives
evidence that they are willing to give the move
to brace up rates a fair trial. The new deal goes
into effect July l, and by that time the passen-
ger men will have old scores cleared up,
and 1t is proposed to restore and
maintain rates over all roads between
st. Louis, Chicago and the Western ter
mini OF the trunk lines. The agreement has
not been so far perfected that what punishment
shall be melted out TO a road that cuts a rate has
been fixed upon, but the purpose is to place
passenger business on the same platform that
freight traffic is, and probably when i'll full Oper
alton the punishment will be of much the same
character. The greatest obstacle In carrying
out the programme is the unlimited tickets of
the Lake Erie q Western road, which are still in
the hands of scapers to the amount of some
$4,000, and while it may seem harsh treatment,
there is strong probability that the trunk lines
will force the Lake Erie & Western to take up
these tickets. Should these tickets create a dis
turhanee in rates, 1t is quite well settled that the
trunk lines will refuse to prOrate with the Lake
Erie & Western until these tickets are out of the

GENERAL NEWS.

The Terre Haute & Southeastern Railroad
Company Maintains Its Rights on First
Street
The oontest over the right of way of the T. H.
& S. e Railroad Company on First street in Terre
Haute has been ended by the condemnation of
the right of way in front of the abuttng lots the
owners Of which refused to sign releases. At the
time the track was laid down First street, in
1872 the rule as stated In the opinion of the Su-
preme Court in the case of the N. A. & S. Rail
road Company VS.. O'Daily, l3 Ind. $685. and sew
eral other cases decided about the same time,
proceeded on the ground that the abutting own
had no estate in soil Of the street. The track
was laid by authority ofthe CityCouncil upon the
petition of a very large majority of Tn owners
of aDutting lots. In 1874. In the Cox case,
t45 ind. 1879 the rule was
established that a conveyance of an admitting
lot carries with IL the fee TO the middle of the
street, Overruling the former decisions This
left the railroads, which had laid their tracks in
the streets of cities, relying upon the former
decisions of the Supreme Court, exposed to suits
?Or damages and ejectment by the owners or
ahutlng lots who had not consented to laying
the tracks in the street. The Tore Haute g.
Southeastern Railroad Company, having pro-
cured release from all parties who did not con-
sent originally to laying the track in the street,
Instituted proceedings of condem alton against
those who refused to give release. The lot
owners procured an injunction against the com
attempted to tear up the track of the rail
road company under a writ of posses
sion, issued In the absence of the presI-
dent of the company, Immediately upon
che everything of a petition for rehearing
in an ejectment suit brought by John f. Radell.
The COMPANY at once proceeded to condemn
against Radell, and after a full argument the
court dissolved the injunction, held the condenl-
nation proceedings to be valid, and forbade fur
ther interruption wth-the tracks. This decision
effectually settles the contest and leaves the T,
ii. q 8. Il. In undisturbed possession of its very
valuable street rights IN the city of Terre Haute.

Good Feeling Exists Between Railway Man
agements and Employees.
The harmony of feeling now existing between
railway management and employees ia a matter
over which there is much favorable comment.
For years past, In May and early June, rumors
of railroad strikes have been rife, and business
generally has been more less disturbed by
such rumors, but this year proves an exception
Throughout the length aud breadth of the land
railway employees are hard at work, and there
are indications of any threatening diff
culres In view of the strikes and troubles
In other vocstons of labor, the railway en-
ploye has ample reason to be gratihed. Almost
without exception paymasters are coming
around promptly. OF the fourteen Indianapolis
roads but one, that the Wabash, is in arrears TO
its employees. This tends to create a kindly feel
1ng. Then railroads are now being worked on
the most economical basis, The number of en-
plOyos is down to the minimum, hence but few
lnen have been discharged, and q general good
feeling is noticeable between officers and EN-
plOyes. Business Just is little quiet, yet
good for June. In a few weeks the wheat crop,
produce, live stock, etc, Will begin to move
more actively and earnings will foot up larger
Undoubtedly Commissioner Fink should be cred
tied with having much to do with
the present harmony, for he harmonized
the action of trunk line presidents and
managers, and through their better behavior the
western connections have been benefited, and
Set an example which Is to a great extent being
copied. Then there are more practical men at
the head of the railway managements, who we'll
understand that railroad are suicidal to
railroad interests and damaging to all business
tnterests of the country. Good business men
are willing to pay and railroad companies are
willing to accept fair rates, and the cost of ope
rating railroad can now be so easily ascertain
ed that any practical railroad man or good bust
ness man may know II a rate Is exorbitant, and
railroad companies show disposition, with an
occasional exception, to adjust rates where they
are TOO high, and business men well show a
