The Passenger Rate War Increasing in Bit

Light freight Movement All Around.

The large decrease IN car movementlast week,
as compared with that of the corresponding
week for years past was so striking as to excite
considerable comment, there being last week 81
385 less loaded cars received and forwarded at
this point than in the corresponding week of
1889, 4,542les than in 1882, and STA less than
in 1881. Indianapolis, however, is not alone in
the light business moving. Similar reports
come from Kansas City, st. Louis, Peoria and
Chicago. The Inter Ocean Of Saturday says, in
commenting on last weeks east-bound business
out of Chicago; sgThis Is the first time in a year
that the shipments have been so low, although
the figures have surprised no one, for the roads
anticipated that competition by lake and the
lines not in the eastern pool, and the present
high rates. compared with those formerly in
force, would reduce their business. It will be
observed, alse, that the falling off has been in
provisions, and that the shipments Of -four and
grain have been slightly in advance of those dur
ing the corresponding week of 1883. Another
matter of interest is the steady advance made
by the Chicago e Grand Trunk road, which has
been the most unfortunate of all the pool lines
in meeting with its deserved award, when the
latter is based upon the actual amount of bust
ness carried. The Vanderbilt lines have not held

construction Of ten new sleeping cars for the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad They are also now
building sixteen parlor cars that will arouse
more than ordinary pleasure in the mind OF the
fastidious traveller who is accustomed to com
fort and elegance while reducing spare time
between fardistant points. These ears are six
ty-nine feet long and of the usual width. Spe-
cial features are the three inverted bay windows
the walls Of the car. Another important
feature is the smoking room, which is
nine feet long and provided with WIDE
arm-chairs of a new pattern, accommodating
seven persons, with great comferk and more 4
necessary. The ventilation is excellent and
~faultless At one end of the car, which contains
thirty finely upholstered chairs, are two double
seats paFtitioned off by Japanese curtains, 50
that each can be turned into a double berth.
This is intended for ladies desiring seclusion. or
invalids. AT the other end of the ear IS a buffet
provided with o stand in front. with drawer un-
derneath for telegraph blanks. timetables, etc.
The ceiling is elaborately and elegantly finished
in bronze and gold colors. fashioned after q new
design. The walls of the car are decorated with
stamped velvet, while the chairs are upholstered
in peacock blue. The car is mounted on No. 5
trucks, with f~orty-two-inch paper wheels. For
every two seats there is an electric bell that
ummens the porter on duty. The coloring Of
the car is exceedingly rich and in choice pat
terms, but so blended as to be sufficiently sub
dued to meet with general favor. All
in al the car excels anything Of the kind
on wheels today, Mr.. Matthews agrees
with the Journal that travel has never been
heavier than this year. He backs this state
ment by saying that, although they are running
their cars over no more territory than a year
ago, and have not increased their charges, but,
in fact on Tome roads have reduced them, their
earnings the first six months of the year were
over 100000 ahead Of last year. and If roads
are not showing increased passenger earnings it
is because, as at Indianapolis, rates are cut until
there is nothing in them for the roads.

A Point wen Taken.

The Salt Lake Tribune makes a good point
when it says the railroads Of the far West .'are
SO situated that they now have to pay from
So, 900 to 81, 500 per mile per annum in interest.
Not one Of them can honestly do this. The build
ers and FIRST owners have piled up debts upon
them amounting TO vice and three times their
first cost In the meantime competing roads
have been built and the roads cannot carry the
burden Railroads all over the country are
grooming because of eveR-eapitalizatinn, and in
attempting to supportthe burden it happens with
many that they only add to its weight.

COWBOYS AND HORSE THIEVES FIGHT

ANsoSIA, CT., October 2l.-The damage
caused by the breaking away Of the old
canal bank last evening in the rear of the
old Colburn mill, is not as serious as at first
supposed. The streets are badly torn up,
but few hundred dollars will cover all
loss. The saddest thing in connection with
the affair is the loss of the two.year-old child
Of John Bullock, which might have been
averted were it not for the excitement Of
the moment. Bullock, his vile and
three children, aged 5, g. and 2 years
resided in house owned by man named
Brasill. He is employed in the Chandelier
shop, and is over from England only three
months. At the time the water was rush
ing down Bullock was absent frnm his home
and ran to the house out of breath, telling
them to get out for their lives. The poor
woman became almost frantic, and BY a
superhuman effort grabbed the three chill
dren in her arms and rushed out, only to
be confronted in the dark BY water several
feet deep and rolling down in large
waves. Not knowing the locality
very well she became bewildered Her
screams Tor help were fearful, without one to
aid her, although n several Italians were close
by hUddlcd in a place of safety. Finally a
Young man named Thomas o Brien hearing
her cries, ran to her assistance, although up
to the waist in water, and liable to be swept
away at any moment. The two Oldest chill
dren were clinging to the woman's should
ers, and the babe was held BY her arm on
her breast. The moment O'Brien reached
her she instinctively stretched out both
hands, saying, Save me" The baby fell
into the water and in an Instant was lost to
sight. She nor her rescuer could make no
effort to save the child, as no time was to
be lost, she being exhausted and but for
o Brien's promptness all would have been
lost. She and her other two children were
taken to place Of safety and a search COM
menced for the drowned child. After sew
eral hours search the body was found few
blocks away. The Joss will fall on the An.
sonia Brass and Copper Company, as it is
said through negligence on their part the
accident happened, therefore making them
