UNJUST CRITICISM.
Competitors Not in the Way of the G. g. L.

Competitors Not in the Way of the G. g. L.
Airline Coming Into the Union Depot.
1t is to be hoped that some arrangement will
be made to-day to admit the Chicago & Indian
apolis Airline trains into the Union Depot, as
the dilly-dallying about the matter is calling
forth severe and unjust criticism from railroad
men and the press at other points. The Chicago
Times of yesterday says that objection to their
entering the depot comes from two or three lines
that do not want any more opposition roads at
that point, and they are said to be determined to
keep the passenger trains of the Louisville, New
Albany d Chicago out of the depot if possible.
1t was thought several months ago there would
be no resistance made when the time came, as
no objections were then offered, and the trouble
coming now, when the road is nearly open for
business, makes a very embarrassing case for
the new line, for which there is scarcely any
remedy but that of cOnciliation, as the
opposing roads have command of the big
end of the situation. This, OF course, liz a
0ne-sided statement of the case and a drive at NJ.

ap0lis, st. Louis IL Chicago road, who is now in

that the Chicago q Indianapolis Airline has
not until quite recently been in shape to run reg

yet IN readiness to put on through express
trains, and as stated by superintendent Mac
Leod, OF the L., N. A, Il q. sy stem, has not cared

Death of Mrs. Frank HOLIDAY.

A telegram from Excelsior, Mimi, brings the
sad Intelligence of the death at that place, yes
terday, of Mrs. Carrie c. Holiday, wife of Mr..
Francis j. Holiday, of the Evening News. Mrs.
Holidays death was peculiarly distressing, and
news of it will be received with the most sincere
regret by those who were SO fortunate as to
humber ner among their friends. Early last
spring she contracted a severe cold which
rapidly developed into quick consumption, end
ing in her death yesterday as above stated. Her
decline was steady from the beginning, and
although everything possible was done to arrest
the progress OF the disease all efforts proved
unavailing. About two weeks ago a change OF
climate was decided upon, and the invalid was
taken to Minnesota by her husband. Mrs. Hol-
liday was remarkable for her bright and happy
disposition, and was beloved by a large circle of
friends in Indianapolis and elsewhere. She was
the daughter of Rev. Frederick Cummins, of La
porte and Crawfordsville She was married to
Mr.. Holiday in 1876, and was the mother of
three children, two of whom survive her. Mr..
Holiday will have the warmest sympathy of his
friends in this the moment OF his supreme sor.
row. Notice Of the funeral will be duly an.
nOunced.

created by the testimony of Harry L.. Brown
who lives just across the street from the Wach-
stetter saloon, and who swore positively that he
saw the proprietor and Billy McCarty "goins
through" a man in the upper story, who was
evidently stupefied by drink. The circumstance
and descriptions are corroborated by whites
statements, and the authorities are confident
that they have the right men. Hogan MeCarty
says he can prove an undoubted alibi, without
any trouble, and that the reason he did not do
so yesterday was because the preliminary ex.
animation covered the cases of all three.
AT the conclusion of the trial superintendent
Robbins ordered Wachstetter to shut up his sa-
loon every night at IL o'clock and altogether on
sunday, and ordered the p%atrolmen on that
beat to see that the law was strictly observed at
Wachstetter's house. What is the matter with

GENERAL NEWS.
An Advance of go Per Cent. in Dressed Beef
Rates Proposed.

An Advance of 20 Per Cent. in Dressed Beef
Rates Proposed.
Commissioner Fink, VINO has had the matter
under consideration, has come to the conclusion
that the railroad companies ought to advance
their rates 20 per cent. for carrying dressed beef
from the West to the seaboard. This rate would
be 80 per cent. higher than the rate for carrying
live cattle, and il Mr.. Fink's suggestions are
will doubtless be brought to a dead stop. The
New York Central people have never favored
the carrying of dressed beef and have opposed
every movement looking toward making il a
success; neither has the PENNSYLVANIA looked
upon the enterprise with favor, so it is not sur
prising that Commissioner Fink favors an ad-
vance in the rate as he naturally would be more
or less influenced by the majority
out boldly in the traffic of carrying dressd beef,
has several hundred cars now in the service,
and is building 300 more, and if this advance
in rates is made it will be a severe blow at the
Erie, and doubtless an entering wedge for
trouble between the trunk lines. The Phila-
delphia Record says: "Mr. Fink is as handy a
man with figures as there is in the United States,
of the trade which appears to be exhaustive.
But he starts with the idea of finding out the com.
parative advantage to the railroad companies
of a business thoroughly established and under
stood, and of a competing business which is in
its infancy and which Il is carried on with all the
disadvantage of an experimental effort. This is
not fair. The only question for the railroad
com panies to consider should be whether theY
can carry dressed beef at a profit, without
reference to the greater or lesser profit to be
obtained by forcing business into another
channel. Possibly the result of the higher rates,
if adopted, will be to confne the dressed-beef
shipments TO a single line of railroad. We are
not prepared TO believe that so promising a
trade ia doomed to failure"

LOSING THEIR GRIP.

The Power of Roads West of the Missouri
River Waning.
The roads west of the Missouri river are
rapidly losing their power to enforce arbitrary
rates on their eastern connections, in never shar-
ing in a cut rate when they are fully as much
benefited by the cut rate as the roads east of the
Missouri river. In the past, whenever Il road
west of the Missouri river cut a rate on business
east-bound, the road west of the Missouri river
would prorate in the cut, but have not been
willing to reciprOcate. One of the Western lines
has now notified Eastern connections that here
after their road would act squarely in the mat
ter, and If passengers or freights were carried
on a cut rate they would prorate. Other roads
will now liBely follow.

than a wedding had befallen them, and solves

on behalf of the Metropolitan Company, and to-
day Judge Freedman gave a decision denying the
motion.
