The Pregnitz Accident.

The Coroner yesterday took additional test
mony concerning the death of Augustus Preg-
nitz, who was killed by an accident on the Belt
road last Tuesday morning The evidence thus
far produced establishes the fact that the acct
dent was occasioned by a collision, which might
have been avoided if the train men had had proper
orders, Fhe two trains came together ON {
sharp curye, and the conductors each claimed to
have the right of way It difficult to locate
the responsibility, however.

Is the Nicle1-Plate Line Cutting Ratess

rs Une NlckeI-Hltlte Line 1sStGeS'
The sharp dives which the new Nickelplate
fastfreight line has been making at the business
of the White line has disturbed the manage
ment of the White line considerably. While the
former has got large share of the business out
of indianapolis since Jan. l, at ST. Louis they
have swept the platter and the records show
that they are still doing so. On the 18th, the
Nickelplate line took out of st. Louis 81 loaded
cars, the 18th %, the 10th q,
says their line did not on these days average
seven loaded cars per day out of St Louis.
1t is further stated that the shrewd general
freight agent of the Indianapolis at St. Louis
road has instructed agents along the line to see
that the Nickelpiate gets its share of the bust
ness going forward, and the movement over the
Decline eastward the past few days indicates
that the line is not only cutting in on the
business of the White line, but OF the Erie and
Pennsylvania lines and to such an extent that the
officers of those lines without hesitation charge
that the new line is not living up to rates Since
the bold stroke the Nickel-plate line is making
for business was showed up in the Journal tele-
grams have been sent and letters written which
show that Darling manager of the White line,

Reasons for Removing the Northern Pacific
Offices to Boston.

Reasons for Removing the Northern Pacific
Offices to Boston.
One of the strong reasons advanced for the re-
moval of the general Offices of the Northern Pa
cifc road from New York to Boston, is that the
stockholders want their officers to get out of bad
company. They fear the Wall street 'bears.a
The stockholders say that the attacks Of reckless
stock spectators, who do not hesitate to put
forth, for their own purposes false statements of
all kinds, less likely to do harm if the inter
ested company carries on its business beyond the
immediate reach of the New York Stock Elk
change AT the time the Union Pacific company
made its removal it was said that it did so be-
cause it was feared that certain prominent spec
ulators might arrange scheme for Selling the
books of the company, for the purpose of alter
ing them in such way as to put themselves in
control of it's affairs. 1t was felt that Boston
was a safer place. fact which few who have had
business experience will care to deny

covered basket on his left arm, and a
heavy cane in his right hand. He com.
menced the delivery of letters to the

unknown he was employed by the per-
sons or firms which be served.
He was small in stature, and carried
his mail in basket covered with q
piece Of black oilcloth, to protect it from
the weather, while In his right hand
he carried stout cane. that he had 9
habit of striking on the pavement in a
peculiar maner, and all who heard II
knew that " Benny" was coming. In
addition to delivering letters, he also
carried small parcels for those who wish
ed, and was frequently entrusted will
large sums of money TO take t.
the. bank, or with checks to draw
money for his patrons.
The POst-oilice was then situated
on the first floor on the south ives
