The Discrimination of the L. 6 ST. L. Against
indianapolis Accusing Business Men.
The exposure of the discrimination of the In
dianapolis & st. Louis road against merchants
of Indianapolis, regards rates to points on
their line, has brought to light many new cases
under which it is done. Not only in ship
ments from Indianapolis is discrimination
shown, but to Indianapolis well. Grain Is
shipped through here to Cleveland at very
little advance over the rate 10 indianapolis, and
the matter is carried so far that seldom a car
loan of grain from a point on the I. & st. L.
road stops at Indianapolis. In shipments of
live stock, however. the discrimination against
Indianapolis is the most remarkable. Seldom
stop at Indianapolis to rest, feed and
and water Stock loaded at East ST. Louis is
run through to Cleveland, and sometimes to
Buffalo. regardless of the laws of the United
States as 10 properly resting and feeding cattle.
IT a stock train runs from East St Louis TO
Cleveland, on the time-schedule, which it seldom
does, so many trains ire on the road for single
track the stock is in the cars fOrty-three hours
without rest or food. and II run through to BUT
fao, fifty five hours, and to encourage stock
men to make these long rune, and Ignore the In
danapolis stock-yards, General Freight Agent
Gays is said ~ make an uutrageously high local
rate to indianapolis. and an extremely low rate
to Cleveland or Buffalo, the chief idea OF
the general freight agent of the road
seeming to be to punish indianapolis.
Did not the l. & st. L. demand the same per
cent. in the pool OF the livestock traffic out of
East ST. Louis, and did it not claim to have the
most stock-productive road running through
Illinois and Indiana, possibly some excuse can
be found for great discrepancy between its
deliveries and those of the Vandaa at the In
dianapolis stOck-yards.
That there is ample reason for complaint is
shown in the statement of an official in posi-
tiou to know, that in the last twelve months
the Indianapolis Il st. Louis road had delivered
to the Indianapolis stock-yards but 831 carloads
OF through live Stock while the Vandalia has de-
iiVerSd 1.Z4O
ped East. Both reads have the same per
cents of business out of East St. Louis, and the
1. & st. L. passes through a much better live
reproducing country than does the Vandaa.
Even the Cincinnati, Indianapolis ST. Louis &
Chicago-which would naturally tor the sake of
a long haul, take their business to Cincinnati
had delivered nearly double s many cal loads
OF stock to the Indianapolis stock-yards as has
the I. & st. L, road.

schools. School NO. 10 has four rooms, only two
of which occupied by colOred children,
the other rooms being vacant. TIE probabilities
are that next year that school, account of its
cost, will have to be abandoned and the school
made for white children, in which case there will

separate schools for them, People are becoming
more and more liberal regarding mixed schools,

GENERAL NEWS.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The delegates OF the indianapolis division of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, which
has just closed its twentieth annual convention.
at Buffalo, N. Y, returned yesterday, and re-
port the session to have been of unusual inter-
est. The membership has reached Is, 900. One
OF the aims of the association Is to strictly con-
fine itself within the limits appropriate to a
body of such q character. One OF the best
features of the association ie its insur-
ance department, which pays to the representa-
tives of each member, on his death, a very con-
siderable sum, During the year past aggre-
gate OF $l18,233.72 was thus paid out, repre-
senting forty-one different claims which varied
in amount from $2,70s to 5000. Since the or
ganization OF this insurance association, fifteen
years ago, the very large amount of 1,407,-
160.61 has been disbursed to che legal represent
atives of deceased members The wise manner
IN which the association has conducted It's
affairs the last few years has made for it many
friends, and many of the most experienced rail
way managers readily admit that 1t is beneficial
TO the railways of the country well as to the
membership. In the earlier days of its forma-
ton higher wages was the chief hobby Of the
organization; now the aim of the entire member
ship seems to be to elevate the Brotherhood and
make them reliable and competent to fill the
responsible positions they hold in railroad serv-
ice, and as result the standard of engineers is
for above that of ten, or even five, years ago,

that if the other roads wish to open the outside
offices, the Pennsylvania people were ready to
open them as wide as anybody and sell tickers
as low their competitors, and for time il
looked if the outside offices would all be
opened. Later better counsel prevailed.
