President Devereux Gives a Rosy Hue to
Railroad Pools.
d ]. II. Devereux, president of the Bee Line
system, who is great friend to pools, remarked
10 the reporter of a New York paper Thurs
day evening, when speaking of the perfect ion of
the freight-pool arrangement: 81 don't believe
the millennium has come exactly. I have been
IN the railroad business for thirty five years. and
there has certainly never been so near an ap-
proach to il in railroad matters there is at the
present moment. Railroad men are now in a
position more nearly than they ever have been
before in the history of railroadins in this
try to treat men as brothers. To-day an arrange
ment was absolutely consummated fixing the
pooling arrangements from Chicago, Cincinnati
eentages. it has been agreed shall be set
lied by money payments between the
roads. There is now no war of rates, no prospect
of a war, and there will be no between any
OF the trunk lines and their Western connections
during the existence OF the contract, which con-
tinues until Sept. l next. The stories of rate
wars which are SO extensively circulated here
from one source, and for purpose. That source
ts Chicago, and all sorts of stories set afOat
there and telegraphed East, and unquestionably
they come from some person or persons in trade
who hope by this method to secure concessions
which have certain means of knowing are not
granted. IL stands to reason that the roads
themselves do not want a renewal of the old
as they can under the present arrangement.
speaking of rates, he said no one would claim
that the present rates were excessive when IA
c11tIes given to shippers are considered

Base Ball Matters.

The Indianapolis ball club defeated the Ken
tons, of Covngton, KY, at that city yesterday,
by score of IL to 2. Donnelly was sick, and
Murphy pitched, and only six hlte were made
off of him while the Hoosiers made sixteen.
The game OF base ball for the benefit OF the
Flower Mission, which was advertised for yes
terday, was necessarily postponed ON account of
the muddy condition of the grounds. 1t will be
played to-day, however, beginning promptly at
O'Clock, and the PLAYERS are expected at the
DenisOn House at 100 o'clock sharp. Children
will be admitted for ten cents, and the indica-
lions are that there will be lots of fun.

Rollinc.Mn Men stin Blue.

President Jones, of the indianapolis Rolling
mill Company, says that there is little that is en-
couraging TO report in the rail market. Railroad
managers show disposition to force prices
lower, and from all parts Of the United States
reports are unfavorable. 1t is already evident
that railroad building this year will be less than
In any year of the last three, and not a great
deal more than in 1879. Up to this time last
year the new construction was more than twice
the mileage this year, and many of the most i'm
portant roads in process upon which track-laying
IS now going on-notably the Northern Pacific,
the Atlantic & Pacific and the West Shore-will
be completed by midsummer or soon after, so
that the track-laying of the fall will probably be
very small.

Growth.

A Feature of Freight Traffic Rapid IN
Growth.
The growth of the shipment of fruits, vegeta-
Hes and farming truck from the South to North
ern marketsis attracting the attention of the
railway managements, and a disposition is
shown to encourage this class OF traffic by furn-
ishing cars suitable to transport it.
It should be borne in mind by
railroad managers that the success of this
new branch of railway service depends not
merely on cheap and quick transportation, but
on the condition of the products wall when
they, reach Northern markets. Produce ca the
hboVe description is now arriving at IndanapO-
lis ny the car load daily, and dozens of car
loads pass here for the Chicago .maPket, fast
trains being run to accommodate .this business
specially, and ventilated cars should be provided
to transport it. UpOn the roads depends the
condition of the products; upon the condition
depends the prce,-au upon the price depends
the success of the farmer. 1t would he a blow
10 the railroads themselves If truck farming in
the South should receive even temporary set
back, and it is to be hoped that the roads have
provided against even the possibility of such
contingency.
