John B. Carson Offered the Position of Cen
eral Manager of the L., n. A. & G.
John B. Carson, late general manager of the
Hannibal 81 st. Joe road, has, in company with
Colonel Bennett Young, president of the Louis
y1Iie, New Albany & Chicago road, for two days
past been looking the sy stem over, travelling On
Especial train, and there is good authority for
the statement that Mr.. Carson who is railroad
man of large executive ability, has been
offered and probably Will accept the position of
Eenersl,ma mayer ofthe Louisville, New Albany
&-Chicagoeys EN-, which includes the Chicago g.
Indianapolis Airline. 1t is an omen secret that
there has been within the last few months some
clashing of authority between the
higher officials of the road. the
troubles dating back prior to the
resignation of A. B. Southland, general freight
agent OF the road. AS yet no general freight
agent has been appointed TO succeed II. B.
Smith. who recently resigned, vet there is the
pest OF authority for the statement that the po-
sitiou was offered again to A. B. Southland,
and his acceptance depends on the
Issue of eertnin questions concerning the future
mana cement OF the L., N. A. & G. property, or,
In other words, he Will accept providing he can
not only be general freight agent by title but,
well, have the authority which the position
usually allowsa general freight agent to have.

miscellaneous Notes.

The Denver & Rio Grande road is being oper-
ated this year on Ga per cent. of its gross earn
Ings.
The Chicago & Rock Island directors have de-
clared the. customary quarterly dividend of q
per cent, payable Feb 1.
Flattering reports of the prospects of the Fort
Wayne, Peoria & Galeshurg railroad come from
all points on the line. The right of way is being
secured at mrst points and the preliminary
work is progressing finely
A large freight engine hasjust been completed
has double cylinders on each side, new expert
ment in roai road lOcomOtion. It's performance
Will be watched with interest by railroad men.
The first statute Authorizing the construction
of q railroad in Pennsylvania passed
March 81, 1928, aud on April 16, 1884. the first
tram run from Philadelphia TO Columbia.
That was Lhe beginning of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, and its semi-cen tennial will be appropri-
ately celebrated by the great corporation.
The Railway Register says that between g-
nOrant commissioners and legislative politicians
way Commissioners OF Tennessee AMI Kansas
are showing alamentable ignorance and want of
regard for the true interests OF the people by
cutting down freight tariffs arbitrarily. 1t is said
that the Kansas commissioners do not know
enough to make out n tariff. They cut
down the rate on one article between two STA
tions and order the companies TO make their
tariff less in exact proportion to such reduction.

THE PASSENGER POOL.

The Meeting Called for Next Week Looked
Forward to with Interest.
The passen ger department of the Joint execu-
tive committee meets i'll New York on Tuesday
next to oan slider means by which the passenger
pool can be better maintained than heretofore,
and to extend its workings to points not now
covered by it. Hopes are entertained that the
meeting VIII be able to surmount the difficulties
IN the way of q successful working of the pool.
While there 10 some difference of opinion as to
what will be the result of this meeting, none ex-
cept soliciting passenger agents 90 so far as to
predict disruption OF the pool. While the or
ders of Commissioner Pierson to some of the
Western roads may seem arbitrary, none Will
denV but such orders, although they have
not been ca FRIED out to the letter have done
much tn @ force a maintenance OF rates, and all
the dirty work which certain roads nave done
has been done through the scalpers. Those who
are well posted in passenger business express
the opinion that the existing differential rate
agreement will be continued, and that the pool
iiselr will I've stronger after this conference of
passenger men than il now ls The fact is that
general passenger agents of the leading roads
of tho country are coming out III favor or the
maintenance OF rates; but one OF the greatest
troubles now GU their hands are the roads which
are paving large commissions to Scalpers, ana
how to put q check to this mode OF warfare is
their study, turning tickets of certain roads to
the wall not having checked sales through scalp
mentioned in the telegraph, is Thought 10 be of
little Importance, as the road is not in shape or
running it's trains in manner to draw passenger
business to the road.

Giving Commissions Fink a Rest.

On the 18th of November 1t will be two months
since any competitor OF the Erie lines has an
moved Commissioner Fink with tales of cutting
rates by the lines above mentioned. This is
causing some comment in railroad circles, as
the Erie lines now have all their available cars
in constant service, and the Inducements to cut
rates is now as great as at the time the charges
were made. Possibly the fact that the roads
which made the complaints have been having
more property to carrG of late has prevented
their worrying over the affairs of the Erie peo-
pie but it is more probable that said competltore
have found that the Erie lines have 80 many
friends among shippers that the more they abuse
them the heavier business they do.
