Fast-Freicht Line No. "a.

The Journal has good authority for stating
that the Laekawanna fast-freight line is
coming into indianapolis to make lively com
petitor for both east and west bound traffic. J.
w. Smith, who has been appointed general
manager of the line, is to be in the city to-day
to establish an agency. William Parmalee. who
now represents the Red line at this point, has
been offered the agency, and it is understood
will accept it, Including north and south fast
freight lines there are twenty four doing business
at this point. AS of late there has been only
carload apiece for the old lines to carry out of
Indianapolis where the new lines will get any
business is a mystery, unless the same method
which the new Nickel-plste lines resorted to is
adopted by the Lackawanna. This line will oper-

years, was under J. w. Smith, and by the latter

for local points upon its own system. Between
Boston and far Western points where the
through lines running over the New York & New
England come into competition with the more
direct lines of the Boston & Albany and Hoosac
Tunnel lines, experience teaches the present
management that it is useless and impossible to
compete Receiver Clark stated at the egisla-
tive hearing last week the fact that the distance
between Boston and Buffalo via Fishldll as com
pared with the Tunnel is l40 miles the longest
cannot be overcome. There are other points in
favor of the shorter line. Take the comparative
distances from Chicago the great competitive
point of the West, to Boston. We find that via
the New York & New England and its Erie con
nections the distance is 1,1SO miles, while the
Fitchburg via the West Shore and one Of its
connections, can boast of a through freight line
of only 973 miles in length between Boston and
Chicago. Under all these circumstances, there
FORE the receiver had changed the policy of
the road by giving up through traffic upon which

Cntting Down Expenses.

An economical streak has come over the man
agement of the Cincinnati, indianapolis, st.
Louis & Chicago road, and yesterday a general
cultailing of expenses was inaugurated in all de
partments. AT the shops about 10 per cent of
the men were discharged; one man has been let
out on each section, several train crews dis
charged, and the orders are to cut down the
clerical force to the lowest practical number.
OF course It was unpleasant for the manage
ment to inaugurate such a step, and, as soon as
business improves, the discharged men, as far
as possible, will be re-employed. In retiring the
men, so far as practicable single men, or those
who had no families dependent upon them were
let out, it being the desire of Superintendent
Sherwood to make the unpleasant work as light
on the men as circumstances would permit.

that road and the Denver 81 Rio GTande has been

The Detroit Lansing G. Western road will nav
3 IL per cent. ON the preferred, and 3 per cent
on the common stock Feb. 10. This will make

agree, the matter has been postponed until

Living ON Railways and Seem Perfectly at

A passenger conductor remarked yesterday
that if it had not been for the commercial tray

paid to trains on some days the past winter

travel was heaviest on Mondays and Fridays
when other travel was light In fact, said he.

for the commercial travellers. The Philadelphia

says; 'There is distinct railroad population

EAsT-BoUND RATES.
Freight Men Paying but Little Attention to
Tariff Rates.

Freight Men Paying but Little Attention to
Tariff Rates.
1t is now well understood that majority of
the fast-freight line agents are cutting rates
when necessary so to do to secure business.
1t requires but little investigation to demonstrate
that such is the case, In fact it is universally
understood among railroad men that the re-
stored tariff rates have not been maintained.
The only conflicting question regarding this in
formation is as to what extent grain has been
carried below twenty-cent rate, and provisions
below a twenty five-cent rate. The Baltimore g.
Ohio railroad recently submitted charges that
east-boliad rates were not being maintained, and
demanded that the pool agreement requiring
formal reduction to the basis of the lower cut be
carried out. The standing committee of the
trunk lines met last Friday, in Mr.. Finks office,
TO consider the situation Vice-presidents
Blanchard, of the Erie Hayden, of the New York
Central, and Thompson, of the Pennsylvania
Central, being present, while General Freight
Agent Herriott represented the Baltimore &
Ohio. No action was taken at this meeting to
reduce schedule rates. 1t was resolved TO call
meeting of the leading roads for next Thursday
to decide what policy should be adopted to pre-
vent an open warfare, and it is believed that the
executive trlInk-lne committee, through Com
missioner Fink, will order general reduction in
east-bound rates, which will place all roads on
mar
