The BaItinore e. Ohio VIII Not Attempt to
do Near York Passenger Business Ella Bal
timOre.
Mr.. c. K. Lord, general passenger agent
of the Baltimore 81 Ohio, has just issued the
following circular to connecting lines: Gre
ferring to the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany's circular No 266, giving notice that
on and after October 10 its connection with
the Baltimore Il Ohio road would be discon-
tinued, and that local fares would be re-
CURED on all business via the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad to and from all points east of
Baltimore, the Baltimore 81 Ohio hereby
gives notice that from and after that date it
will require from connecting roads, its full
rates on first and second class tickets as
quoted to and from Baltimore on all bust
ness to points in or via either the Philadel-
phia, Wilmin gton & Baltimore or the Penn
sylvania railroad in either direction. The rates
to Baltimore, Washington and intermediate
points will remain as now to and from
all points in the west. The only rates
changed are those where the business goes
over the Philadelphia, Wilmington s. Balti-
more or Pennsylvania railroad east of Balti-
more"
This means that the Baltimore & Ohio will
for the time being not compete for the Phil
adelphia and New York business by way OF
Baltimore, but will only continue prorating
arrangements with its connections as far
east as Baltimore. Thus far no action has
been taken by the Baltimore & Ohio to retail
late against the Pennsylvania, except the no.
a uraiS Ei,,l- hot -
longer consider itself party to any of the
pools or agreements regarding eastern pas
enger business. As at present all eastern
passenger pools and agreements are ''off, ~
and have been for several months, that no.
tice of withdrawal by the Baltimore & Ohio
amounts to nothing. But it indicates that
the company will not be come a party to any
new pool or agreement until its troubles
with the Pennsylvania have been settled,
and it also indicates that the COM
pany means to cut the rates when
ever it may find it advisable to do So AS
far can be learned the Baltimore does not
mean to make any particular trouble on New
York rates, as by doing so it would also have
to reduce rates materially to its principal
points-Baltimor and Washington-and this
would injure its interests as much as those of
the Pennsylvania. 1t does mean, however,
TO open war on rates to all in terror Compel
ing Pennsylvania points, and particularly on
Pittsburg business.
A Baltimore telegram of the 18th says
The order Of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany cutting off trains on the Baltimore 81
Ohio road between this city and New York,
which was to have taken effect on and after
the 18th inst, was not enforced to-day, and
Baltimore u Ohio trains were taken as usual.
1t is the impression here that the Pennsylva-
mia road will await the decision of the courts
in the injunction cases before taking further
action.
