THE TRUNK LINES.
The Chesap cake and Ohio Road,
Unable to Have Justice Done
1t, Withdraws from
An Improbable Agreement.--A
PIucky, Independent Line.

CINCINNATI, March 11.-There are
times when patience and iorbearance
cease to be virtues, and this has been
the case with Mr.. Henry W. Fuller,
General Passenger Agent Of the Ches
apeake and Ohio road. His appeal to
the Joint Executive Committee for
commissions in the nature of being
granted the privilege of paying COM
missions on the sale of tickets were
unheeded, and, in fact, deaf ear was
turned by the high lords sitting in
Judgment on the supposed elevated
throne. MIR. Fuller asked nothing
other than what was equitable and un :
ouestionably Just. The Chesapeake
and Ohio road became member Of
the Trunk line agreement at the
earnest solicitation OF the other lines
and consented to it, wishing to pub
licly demonstrate their sincerity in
maintaining rates, and not to be con-
sidered an outcast, as it we're, and
engage in the decentralization of the
passenger traffic to competitive points.
The agreement as to the road was,
in the first place, unjust. 1t had given
its pledge to adhere to the agreement
as matter OF experiment, but no
definite time for continuing the agree
ment was named. In admitting the
Chesapeake and Ohio the membership
of the trunk line agreement, the other
roads did not see fit to grant the new
member any part Of the percentage OF
the earnings growing out Of the agree.
ment. This in itself is sufficient
proof that the officials of the road were
sincere in their desire to uphold rates,
as has heretofore beer stated. The
road in a measure is new through
line. 1t has hardly been year since
it opened from Lexington to Hunting.
don. and since that time has it been
that through car service and connec.
tions were obtained to New York
Under the agreement the passenger
earnings of the road decreased mater.
ally, and to continue was ruinous.
The joint executive committee listened
not to Mr.. Fuller's petitions. He did
all that he could do. In justice to
the owners Of the property Mr.. Fuller
could not consistently consent to
longer continue 10 the agreement;
consequently, on Saturday he an.
nounced his Withdrawal from the ar
rangement, and will at once begin
paying commissions. In doing 90, Mr.
Fuller has exhibited no small amount
OF nerve and independence. He pro-
poses to still maintain the rates &C,
cording to the rate sheet, but he will
through the fundamentally of the
commission system, be able to at once
increase the passenger earnings OF the
road. but in this case Mr.. Fuller il
without doubt justified in taking the
course he has aud announcing himself
first in the field to pay commissions
II bis road had been an old and indie
pendent line to the great seaboarC
cities and was receiving any part o
the per centage. he would not then
have been justi6able in taking the
course he has.
This is the FIRST break that ha
been made, and il may not be consid
cred at all surprising if other line
will soon pursue the same policy.

INC Iniamy OF Informer Carey,

Writing to the New York World,
Mr.. j. Il. Jennings, speaking Of the
trial Of the Phoenix Park murderers,
says:
But. whatever may happen, it is
only too certain that the really guilty
parties, those who have done the most
to encourage or direct this conspiracy,
will escape. The tools and dupes will
alone suffer. There is the informer
Carey himself, baser wretch never
lived. He lured innocent men into
the plot and then denounced them.
One of the prisoners in the dock las
you will have ready pointed to him at
the close of the evidence and said,
bitterly: ITO that man owe all the
mislortunes of my life" How often
has the same sorrowful cry resounded
from the Jail or the gallows in Ireland!
But even among Irish infOrmers
James Carey has attained to ex.
ceptional infamy. He it was who
pointed out Mr.. Burke to the
assassins and who armed them with
the knives which slew the vic
tins. His social position was a good
one-he was a Town Councillor Of
Dublin, and last year he came within
three votes Of being made Lord
Mayor. Whatever he went into was
thought to be quite safe. The lower
classes" trusted in him, and there was
no man so popular in all the various
organizations which are now scattered
over Ireland. Yet he has not hest.
tated to sacrifice all his comrades
although among them is his own
brother, whose hard fate does moi
save him from the execration Of his
fellow prisoners Brady may almo Il
be said to be murderer by instinct
he evidently glories in his trade. HI
listened to Carey's account of biz
crossing from body to body and stab
bling them over and over again, and
then "wiping his knife upon the grass
to get rid Of the blood, with evidenr
enjoyment. With such a monster al
this, surely there can be little sympa
thy anywhere; but of the two, james
Carey seems to be the worse. AnC
yet he will get off scot free, and per
haps with money in his purse.

DIPLOM ATTIC TALK

talk is Occasioned by the fact that the

tary Frelinghuysen gave to the Mala
