The earnings of the Toledo, Cincinnati & ST.
Louis for the month of February dropped off to
$40, 00O and the income for single week during
the month was but $4,000 The committee of
reorganization met this week to hear a report
from Mr.. Osgood regarding the present condi-
ton of the road, estimates of the amount of
money needed and suggestions as to the future
policy. Mr.. Osgoods plan contemplates chang
ing the main line and the ST. Louis divisions to
the standard gauge, making one system of line
from Toledo to st. Louis. and of allowing the
to remain as at present. 1t is doubtful if the
Cincinnati Northern people would come into the
arrangement, but if they object they will proba-
bly, be left out Of the system and will resume
their former separate position.

Suggestion to the Local Passenger Men.

The country over, Indianapolis is looked upon
as being the greatest rate-cutting point. 1t is
stated that of the tickets sold at indianapolis,
and in a circle of forty miles on 25 per cent. of
the eastbound travel and so per cent of the
west-bound travel, rates are cut by local agents
of indianapolis roads personally, their solicit
ing agents scattered over this territory. Now is
a good time for the local passenger agents to
throw off this stigma, as in the next thirty days
all outside Offices will doubtless resume selling
tickets. Let the local passenger agents and
agents of their connections whose headquar-
ters at indianapolis get together next week
and organize an association, one of the aims of
which is to be to enforce a maintenance of rates.
Kansas City has an association of this character,
which has been in operation some months, and
has proved a grand success, and there are as
likely and honorable passenger men located at
indianapolis as in Kansas City. There each
agent the company he represents deposits
$500 in bank, and whenever an agent cuts rate
the secretary draws on that deposit for double
the amount of the rate for the ticket, At first
two or three of the dishonorable members trifed
with the agreement and were dealt with to the
fullest extent of the penalty. Let the low joints
set an example for the high joints in the matter
of making an agreement, and then living up
to it.

Commissioner Fink's Clearing House.

Mr.. Fink's proposed plan for clearing house
is as follows:
1.-THE present manner Of making settlements
where freight passes over more than one road is
both unbusinesslike and unwieldy and makes
vast amount of unnecessary labor, which would
be saved by clearing house. For instance a
piece of freight comes from indianapolis to New
York, we will say, over the Cleveland, Colum-
bus, Cincinnati & indianapolis, the Lake Shore
and the New York Central railroads. AT the
starting point the through rate is fixed and the
pro rata share of each of these three roads is de-
termined. The first change is made at Cleve-
land, and there the agent of the Cleveland, Co
lumbus, Cincinnati 81 Indianapolis takes out his
share of the proceeds and hands over the balance
to The Lake Shore agent At Buffalo the Lake
Shore agent effects a corresponding settlement
with the Lake Shore man. IT, in the course of
a month. one thousand pieces of freight are
transported over these lines from indianapolis
to New York two thousand settlements are made.
Were there a clearing house the indianapolis
agent would send it duplicate way bills; the pro
rata share would all be adjusted in a lump and
single settlement would take the place of
the two thousand separate ones. Clearing
house paper would be issued in favor of such
roads as had a balance to be paid In brief,
system would take the place Of chaos You can
different companies. For all through business
double system of way bills, ticket stubs, etc,
would have to be employed the duplicates to go
to the clearing house. Then there would be
double audit to all through business, the clear
inghouse audit checking that of the railroads.
and the latter COMMUNICATING the clearing

Playing Of the New Nine
Quite Satisfactory

About seven or eight hundred peo-

game of ball played here this season
on Wednesday afternoon. Notwith-
standing tie cool air, the crowd was
in good splits and applauded i'm
partially every good play, Taking

strength of tie Cleveland team, and
their having bsen playing for the last
two weeks, while the Harrisburg
have had but li't' nractie nd the

game must be considered a good one.
From the top Of the grand stand
floats the inter state pennant for the
championship Of 1888. The game
opened with the Cleveland at the

began to slug Weidel, as though they
were going to have picnic. They
scored tour runs in this inning-all

the only two runs made by them in
the game Rocker made On excel
lent two base hit, stole second and
came home on hit to right field.
Daley, who seems TO be an excellent
player, made the other run by safe
hit and excellent base running. The
playing of the other members of the
club was in some respects good.
Weidel pitched well, and all the err
rors accredited to Munyan was ex-
cusablp. They done some good hit
ting and base running, but the visit
ors' outfeld was too strong for the
making of runs. Knowdell at second
did not make a favorable impression,
but he is evidently good player, a
running one hand catch by him was
