cago and St Louis passenger traffic alone was
considered no account being taken of the ousi-
ness originating at Western points Provision
is now made for the formation OF several
local pools comprehending all com
men watching the movements of the execu-
tive committee very closely. One of the prinel
pal objects aimed at the perfecting OF details
for carrying out the the eighteenth clause OF the
trunk line contract relating to the cutting on OF
commissions TO outside ticket brokers, and In
other ways reducing to a minimum the oppor
tunities for the evasion of the established tariffs
of the pooled roads. This is matter that Will
affect very large number Of people throughout
all sections and if carried out will reduce the In
come of every railroad ticket agent at coupon
stations where tickets to the seaboard over the
pooled lines are sold. The clause referred to is
mandatory and radical in its provisions, and
absolutely abolishes the payment OF bonuses or
commissions to the agents of outside lines, and
prohibits trunk-lne agents from accepting com
missions The Chicago Times says: There is
not city or town of any Importance west OF
Chicago at which the ticket agent does not exc
out az otherwise slender salary by these contrl-
buttons by the trunk lines The tax or percent
age that goes to the agent is So per ticket and as
all of the Eastern lines pay alike. the agent has
had what vugarly might be termed an exceed
ingly soft thing. When this system was first
started it was supposed to have been done to turn
the travel over the Eastern line originally giving
the commission, but as all of the rest Immediate
~ followed suit, this advantage was lost Since
then the payment has been made on the ground
that if one did it all must This being the case
all is grist that comes to the agents mill, and
the roads merely contribute one seventh or more
OF their passenger earnings from Western travel
to station and passenger agents to keep them
neutral. All of this is TO be done away with, and
In consequence there is metaphoricaly, weeping
and wailing among the ticket agents OF the
West"

postofice, resulted, yesterday morning in their
acquittal. They were Immediately afterward
arrested on bench warrant charging them with
having burglarized the residence of Dr. T. M.
Kyle, near Manchester, and were taken to Dear
born county for trial. They admit that they
are confidence men, but protest that they are
not burglars as they do not find it necessary to
resort to that kind of crime to get money

ORLEANS, Ind, Dec. 9.-Mr. Rice, civil engi-
neer of the Orleans Paoli, French Lick & JAS
per Railroad Company was here to-day, looking
after the right-of-way of the proposed road.
This road is to be a standard gauge, and is to
run from Orleans through the places named, and
connect with the road which has its terminus at
Jasper at present Elections were held in Or
leans, Paoli and French Lick townships recent
ly. Orleans and Paoh voted 2per cent tax,
and French Lick failing, her capitalists have
pledged the required amount to the company.
The people are confident that the road will be
constructed. The road will run through the
grit and milestone section, and will make the
famous summer resorts of French Lick and
West Baden easy of access

Miscellaneous Notes.


For the present the West Shore has been re-
moved from the scene Of disturbance. 1t will
attract no more attention in the future than the
Harlem.
The officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company propose to capitalize the Schuylkill
Valley road at $17 000, 900, of which $4,000, 600
is to be placed on mortgage.
The Philadelphia Press says that the Phila-
delphia & Reading is being fed into the reorgan-
ization mill, alive and kicking; but its strug-
giles make more news" than delays.
The New York Indicator says the Baltimore
& Ohio is about as badly off in the West as in
the East. The fact is, the road is Southern
line gone astray. 1t has no ends either East or
West.
the Texas roads, the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
increased its earnings last month nearly $780, 00O,
while the net increase from July to Nov. l
was $196 900.
The railroad property of the South represents
investment of 81, 326. 637, 228, an increase of
5000, 963, 979 sinca lsSo-a stupendous gain that
is we'll worthy of universal attention. The act
ual cost of these roads and equipments is ST.,
237 408 051, against 1919 S04 1913 in 1880, an in
of 1851, SOB, 223. Thus in these four years
under review, the actual costs of the improve
ments of Southern roads, and the building of
new roads in the South, reached the enormous
total of 1857, 603, 223.
1t would appear that the Minnesota & North
western railroad, not satisfied with the remuner-
alive business into which it has jumped from the
day it was opened. is stretching out for addi-
tional territory, and has announced the opening
of new line to St Louis, Kansas City, Atchison
Topeka, and other Missouri points, via Lyle,
the Central Iowa, and Wabash, ST. Louis &
Pacific railways, and promises to run its passen-
ger trains through to St Louis in the remark
ably quick time of twenty three hours from St
Paul and Minneapolis.
General Manager Laying. of the West Shore
was, Monday last, with President Depew most
of the day upon matters of detail, but no changes
were ordered in the personnel of the newly
leased road. Mr.. Depew said s'There will be
no change. We have no knowledge yet of the
West Shore, except that it is not earning its op-
Grating expenses, or rather was not previous
to the recent advance in rates. 1t will be a mat
ter of time to find out exactly what is required

ran 400 miles every day, making with extra

OF 26, TAO miles in the above named months an
