now belief that both east and west bound pools
are in much better shape than they were week
ago, because of the arrangement entered into
whereby the Lackawanna road will be admitted
into the pool after the percentages have been
agreed upon by the three arbitrator. The ad-
mission of this line has been stumbling block
for the pool lines as well as stepping-stone that
meant peaceor war.

A CREDITABLE REPORT.
The Railroad Commissioners of New York
Show No Disposition to Act Unfairly.

The Railroad Commissioners of New York
Show No Disposition to Act Unfairly.
Railroad Commissioners Herman Rogers and
ODonnel last week made their first annu-
al report, which seems to be quite creditable to
men of their slight railroad experience. They
discuss quite fully the questions of railroad man
agement as related to the public competition,
rivalry, pooling discrimination in freight rates,
and the regulation thereof and other problems.
1t seems to anticipate, if not to favor, immediate
action by Congress to regulate railroad COM
merce among the several States; it favors pub
hcity of rates as the great safeguard
against discrimination. They urge the
tagging or eating of all grade crossings call for
the adoption of an automatic coupler, and dis
cuss the law of employers liability for injuries
in favor of more liberal treatment of the en-
ployed. They recommend method of ventila-
ton and a device i'll use on the New York q New
England road for the complete combustion of
soft coal, thus Kidding travellers of the annoy
ance of cinders and smoke. The commissioners
have been called in for the settlement of many
grievances, and have succeeded in inducing the
Harlem road to reduce its rates for the transpor-
tation of milk one-third. This was their most
important achievement in their attempts TO reg
ulate rates.

A young man bearing the name of MaXfeld
train dispatcher in the office of the c.. N o. &

leaving numerous creditors and friends to mourn
his departure. He is said to have borrowed
$3.50 or more from employees at that point on the
day of his departure Superintendent Wells, of
that division, traced the young man to Cincin-
natl, then to st. Louis. Mr. Wells says the
young man will have to return and pay his bills
and borrowed money, or Maxwell will have hot
time for few months to come.

The Richardson Grain Transfer Car Adopted
by the Pennsylvania People.

The Richardson GRAIN Transfer Car Adopted
by the Pennsylvania People.
The grain-transfer car invented by L. d.
Richardson, general manager of the Chicago and
Ohio pool is to be of very valuable service to
the railroad companies. This devise, which can
be used wherever there are three parallel tracks,
is destined to come into general use. Grain can
be transferred from narrow gauge to standard
gauge cars, or from local to through cars
without any of the delays now D., incident
to suchtfansfer The car is simple in its con-
structiou, is moved about by the same engine
that operates it, The car is entirely portable
and its dimension such that it can be moved as
readily as Il box car from place to place. In one
end Of the car is the engine which propels the
endless link belt near the center Of the car.
On this belt are the buckets or steam shovels.
One of these ears has been in service some
months on the c., st. L. d P. road, and has
done admirable work, and the cost of repairing
has heen tlifling. With one of these grain trans

ring it from one ear to another The fact is that
its use saves time, waste, and annoyance, and
the shipper is much better pleased than he is
when obliged to pay switch charges, elevator
tolls etc, to the amount of some s. per car. By
this device the transfer and weighing cost but

REAL CHEEK.
The IT,, c. & ST. L. Set On by the Trunk
Line Pool.

Line Pool.
General freight agents of the standard gauge
roads running east from St Louis notified Com
missioner Fink last week that the Toledo, Gin
cinnati & st. Louis road was cutting rates out of
East St Louis, and that unless it was stopped
they at once would be obliged to cut rates to pro-
tect themselves Consequently Commissioner
Fink has notified connecting lines of the T., C.
& st. L. that until further notice they must not
accept business at less than local rates This
certainly is one of the most cheeky and cruel
things which has been done of late in railroad
circles. as it is well understood that regardless of
the order to restore rates some ten days ago, the
Vanderbilt lines, up to last Saturday night, were
taking business out of St Louis at a
rate below the basis of twenty cents
per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York, or at
a cut of to II cents per 100 pounds. The St Louis
Price COMMISSIONING thata 23-centper 100 pound
rate given as late as Friday last il is charged
and that the Vanderbilt hnes are as well cutting
rates out of Peoria ana Chicago, carrying their
Peoria business over the p. d. & E. ard the l.
& st l.. and Bee-line; and now to pounce on the
crippled narrow gauge IT, G. 81 st. L. road,
which at best could not handle one tenth as
much business as either of its standard gauge
competitors, is looked upon as outrageous in
Western railroad circles.

An Old Passenger Line To Be Re-estahlisI,ed.

The Pennsylvania people now propose to put
the Cambridge City branch of the Jefersonville,
Madison & Indianapolis road in as good condi-
ton as the main line and then make it their
great through line between Louisville and the
East in connection with the Chicago ST. Louis
& Pittsburg, instead of running their through
passenger business via Cincinnati. as for some
three years past In former years the Cambridge
City cutoff, as it was known, was the popular
route between Louisville and the East, and
should the Pennsylvania people again turn their
through passenger business over this route it
will doubtless soon regain the traffic. -.
