SLEEPING CAR COMPANIES.
The Recent Decision of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court Satisfactory.

The Recent Decision of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court Satisfactory.
The decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court to the effect that the Pullman Car Com
pany Ia liable for negligence which results in
the robbery of passengers gives general ~satisfac-
ton. Two or three times within the last few
months has the Journal spoken of the little pro-
lection a passenger had in a Pullman sleeping
car. Generally speaking, the only provision a
sleeping-car company makes for the safety of
Its customers consists in the presence of a negro
bOotblack, who. to judge by his treatmento of the
ordinary passenger, is of too violent a DISPOSE
ton TO be trusted with firearms, though he
would be easily overpowered by thieves. The
conductor is no defense, as he resembles the
ordinary policeman in being at the other end of
his beat when wanted, or more frequently, after
midnight is sound asleep in the best berth in the
coach, which he is careful to reserve,
On all the more Important roads
where three to eight sleeping coaches are
run, one conductor is made to look after the sew
eral coaches, he trusting to the cOlored pQTters
TO collect the money for berths. and frequently
the tickets for passage as well, and If the decision
above spoken Of aud one of a similar character a
few months ago, given by the Supreme Court of
Indiana, spurs the Pullman Car Company up to
putting on conductors to each coach and max
ing such rules and enforcing them as shall prop
erly protect passengers, the travelling public Will
fully appreciate it. Aside from the want of
great credit for the comfort and convenience
they give 8. passenger, yet so well do passengers
pay for such luXuries the Pullman company
has 40 need of being so nigGardly in its policy.

THE OHIO

Arguments Heard for the appointment of
a Receiver.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 15.-Argument was heard,
to-day, by Judge Baxter, of the United States
Circuit Court, in the proceedings for the ap-
pOintment of a receiver for the Ohio Central
railroad. TwoquestioDs discussed We're, whether
the road should be foreclosed under the bond
holders bill or under the Central Trust Com
pany's bill, and who should be appointed re-
ceiver. f. L. Andrews, who presented the case
for the committee of bondholdeTs, claimed
priority, because having first obtained jurisdic-
tion. and suggested Thomas r. Sharp, formerly
of the Baltimore & Ohio, as receiver, making the
point that the receiver should be disconnected
with the Seney syndicate. Thomas +. Stlllman,
Tor the Trust Company, named John E. Martin.
The court intimated that two receivers might
be appointed-one to manage the road, the other
TO bring suits for the recovery of assets-saying
thisneed not delay the foreclosure, as suits for
the recovery of assets could follow the foreclos-
nre. The court announced that he would render
a decision the second week in December.

1t is suggested that should a company be or
ganized to do the local switching the
charges should De made on o different basis
from the present plan, which is 81 SO per car

viii Double Their Track.

An official of the Vandalia line, in a recent con-
versation, stated that undoubtedly the track of
the Vandalia line, between Indianapolis and st.
Louis, would be doubled within the next five
years. and that it was now proposed to double
the track twenty miles east from Terre Haute.
The grading over much of this distance was
already done. This would give a double track
past the Clay county coal mining district,
where trains are almost daily more or less de-
layed, and the following year the track would
be doubled to Plalnfield. west from indianapolis,
and from East st. Louis TO Collinsville, thirteen
miles. This would give them forty-seven miles
of double track at the points on the road where
trains are the most numerous, and the most
frequently delayed.

GENERAL NEWS,
East-BouDd Rates Maintained, and Matters
Moving HarmOniousIy.

E~aSC-BOUDd Rates Maintained, and Matters
Moving tremendously.
For months past the Chicago Tribune and GER
tain New York papers have almost daily pub
1ished articles alleging that east-bound rates
were being cut; that the trunk-line pool was just
ready to fall to pieces. Still the trunkiine pres
Idents meet, confer a few hours, and part with
she trunk-line pool i'll a stronger position than
ever. Since their last meeting these shear" pa
pers have given the pool a few weeks longer of
existence, or untll the New York, Buffalo e. West
Shore road is ready to enter the field, by which
time Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, or some other rail-
road syndicate, will doubtless have control of the
road. AT any rate, the day has passed when the
trunk lines will readily go into a suicidal war of
rates. The Grand Trunk road,ln the past, which Is
now behaving very handsomely In the matter of
maintaining rates, and the Erie, as well, have
been the most used by these papers as the great
rate dsturbers, and, in a recent interview, the
general managers of these roads have denounced
all such statements, and say that they are main
tanning rates, and have no doubt their compet-
itOrs are, and in interviews with managers Of
other Chicago roads, published in a New York
paper, they denOunee the railroad reporter of
she paper in question as n gross and willtul
misstater OF facts, whose object is to stir up ILL
feeling among the lines. The same journal has
likewise repeatedly stated that the scarcity of
freight TO move must necessarily cause q reduc-
7ion in railroad traffic, when, in fact, Chicago
elevators and warehouses were full of property,
and the receipts that followed showed that the
supplies in the country were unusually large.
The object of these statements and misrepre-
sentalonsa are not supposed to influence stocks,
hut purely to crafty a feeling of spite toward
some of the managements. Commissioner Fink
ia quoted as saying that the lies Published In
This Chicago paper had done moro to dpmOralize
raj s than all other influence combined, but so
far had their misrepresentation heen carried of
laIe that railway officials and shippers no longer
lake any stock in these false reports.

At the consultation of the trustees of Purdue
University yesterday with the State officers, it
was arranged that payment of the interest on
the university bonds of S250,O00, amounting to
S17, 200 annually, should be advanced for one
year, and this will give the institution sufficient
money for all its needs until the meeting of the

of q life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady
assistants, to help her answert the large correspondents
which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special
burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her
Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not
evil purposes. 1 have personally investigated it and
am satisfied of the truth of this.

sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted tO
the Change of Life"
