There is good authority for saying that when
the chicago ~ indianapolis road is ready to put
on regular passenger trains arrangements will
oe made by which they viii arrive and depart at
the Union Depot
The passenger earnings of the Clncindati, Indi-
annapolis, st. Louis d Chicago road in April last
exceeded those of April 1882, $4,347.55, and the
revenue from through freight traffic ran S14, 300
anead OF the corresponding month of 1882.
Dealers in railway supplies are little blue, so
SLOW are acquisitions coming in, yet all are san
gulne that within the next thirty days orders
VIII increase and prices improve somewhat.
Prices, they say, are now down to hard-pan.
Edgar Hills assistant general freight agent of
tne Bee Line system, in answer to the question
why the lackawanna fast-freight line shut
OIL OF the Bee Line, said because they already
had fast-freight lines enough on their road.
What they wanted was more business, not more
lines.
The fast day express west over the Cincinnati,
indianapolis, St. Louis q Chicago road was late
yesterday in reaching Indianapolis for the first
Llhe III Two months. Waiting on its Cincinnati
southern connection which had aboard num-
Der OF passengers for Chicago, was the cause as

Fearing that the aid voted in June, 1881, by
Harrison township, Harrison county, Indiana,
TO the CorydOn & New Albany branch railroad
nad been lnvaiidated by the company not com
menclng the work of construction within the
Tune prescribed by law, the commissioners have
ordered another election, to be held on the 9th
day of June.
President Jones OF the Indianapolis Steel Rail
hollng-mill Company, still thinks that reducing
the duty on steel rails so per cent, and at the
same Time increasing the tariff on raw material
was grand mistake, and he can now see no
way by winch their company can overcome 1t
ana manufacture steel rails at as low figures as
are now offered.
The management of the Kanahwa Dispatch,
whlch Is Chesapeake & Ohio fast-treght line,
ana which reaches Chicago over the Cincinnati,
lnulanap0lls,St. Louis d Chicago road have made
running arrangements which shorten the time of
their treights carried both east and west by
them some twelve hours, which, 1T is stated will
enable them to make as good time between Chi
cago and the seabOard as do a mai ority of their
competitors.

annapolis 1870 P. NJ. on Sunday, May 10, and 9TH
