A Railway RguauZa.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The Railway Age says
Competition for the position of railroad
ticket agent at the Palmer house in this city
has developed the fact that this office is
worth from $4,000 to $1,000 per year
and that some city ticket offices net
the fortunate agents as high as
$4,000 year. Some Woodworking
superintendent and general managers, who
carry the burden and responsibilities of their
positions for $4,000 and s., 900 year, would
doubtless like to exchange for the light and
genteel occupation of conducting ticket
office at the figures named The develop
ments of this controversy forcihly suggest
the fact that the railroads are paying vast
sums of money annually to a few ticket-sell-
ers who do no more work than the great ma
iority of agents laboring on meager salaries,
and raise the question whether it is not pos
sible to equalize these discrepancies in some
degree. As a matter of equity, the man who
sells thousands of tickets in the course of a
year ought not to receive as large commits.

At Lawrencelurg.

LAwRENCEBURG, Ind, Feb. G.--There is
the greatest alarm and CONSERVATION. The
memory of the last food is still fresh in the
public mind, and the probability of a SINH
lar calamity is not pleasant to contemplates.
The people living in the lower portion
of the town have already begun to move their
furniture and get their propertyout of harm's
way. No immediate trouble is anticipated
from the Ohio, but it is thought the Miami
will do great deal OF damage. 1t is run
ming out very rapidly, and rising at the rate
of an inch and three-qarters AN hour. As
yet the levee is unbroken, but should it give
way the CO nsequences would be disastrous.
The river will have to rise six or seven feet
TO reach the o. & NJ. tracks. The railroad
employees are busy loading the bridge across
Tanner creek with rails, to prevent it floating
away. At Bellevue, Ky, the high river is
about the only theme of conversation The
general opinion is that last years
food will be repeated The back
water at Taylor's creek is expected over the
road. Councilmen Kearns and Spront were
making arrangements with Mr.. Dimmick,
superintendent of the pipe foundry TO borrow
enough pig iron to put on the plank walk to

Ilinois-Peach crop entirely killed, cher
rjes badly injured; blackberries and black
raspberries killed to the snow line; pears
touched to sons extent, but red raspberries,
Strawberries, apples and other fruits in good
condition.
Kentucky-Peach crop severely hlightsi
Mississippi-First buds all right, but fears
felt Of wet frosts in the spring.
Louisiana-Prospects better than they
have been for six years.
Alabama-The winter has been So severe
as to almost completely ruin the fruit crop,
and gardeners have turned their attention to
eultiyating vegetables
Texas-Peach and other fruit buds are in
splendid condition; only, as in Mississippi,
fears are felt for frosts in the spring.
Arkansas Only part of the peach crop is
injured, Strawberries promise splendidly and
other fruits are in good condition with the
exception Of grapes

MoRRlsoN'S TARIFF BILL.
Views of Chicago Merchants on ats
Eject.

CHICAGO, Feb. GA reporter took a tour
among the business men of this city to as
certain how the Morrison tariff bill was re-
ceived among them.
Mr.. Q. W. Potter, president of the North
Chicago Rolling mills company, was asked
for his views. He said
"Well, in the first place. 1have not the
most minute idea that the bill will pass, or
that anything will be done on the tariff ques-
ton at this session of congress. look upon
it, however, that all such agitation as that
proposed is not only an injury to the iron
and steel business, but is an injury to all
other kinds Of business, and just so long as
congress keeps up that agitation, it keeps
capital and labor in the unsatisfactory and
uncertain condition we are now in in regard
to all kinds of trade"
Should tie proposed reduction in the
tariff be carried out would it stimulate the
importation of foreign rails or increase it to
any great extent"
mo. do not think it would, because the
selling price of the American rails now at
the seaboard is so low that the tariff might
be reduced 80 per cent. before Eng
