Judge Cory's Successor.

The death of Mr.. Samuel Cory, county COM
missionerelect for the First district, will not
make vacancy in the board until October,
1885, and then only about two weeks before the
State election, at which the vacancy is to be
regularly filled. Some person will have to serve
even during this brief interim, however, and the
appointment will be made by the new board and
the county auditor. One member of the board,
Mr. Sahm, is Democrat, and the auditor is the
Republican, so the political complexion of the
board will depend upon the result Of the Wright
Reveal contest in the Third district

Lectures for the Benefit of Nurses.

The managers of the Flower Mission Training
School for Nurses wish to call the attention of
all wives and mothers to the following course of
lectures, now in progress before the training
school. A reading of the list of subjects and
speakers will show that the course is one which
may be very profitable, not only to those who
intend to make nursing profession, but also to
many others. There are few women who, at one
time or another, are not called upon to nurse the
sick, and an intelligent comprehension of the
matter might not only relieve suffering but even
save life. These lectures are not to be
in the least technical, but such as
any person can understand and are not intended
to be in any respect such as are delivered to
medical students, but rather the result of the
observations of many experienced physicians as
to what a nurse should know and do in a given
case Any one desirous OF getting better I'M
derstandng of good nursing would do well to
avail themselves of this opportunity. They will
be held in the reception room Of the Home, at

The Interstate Commerce Bills.

Below is published extracts from conservative
and leading commercial papers of the country
regarding the interstate commerce bills now be-
fore Congress. Bradstreet says;
1.-THE House bill would tie down the business
of railroadlng, and allow it no elasticity, regard
less of the evervarying phases of other bust
nesses, The Senate bill would leave the precise
terms of supervision discretionary enough to be
adaptable according to time, circumstances,
place, and the conditions of other great interests.
The latter indicates certain ends which it directs
shall be approached as nearly as possible leav-
ing the ways and means to the provided super
Visors to agree upon with the railroads The
Reagan measure commands railroads to do thus
and so, regardless Of whether it is possible for
$hem to do it or not. Mr.. Culloms measure is
conservative and far-sighted-Mr Reagan's is
Sespotic and reckless of consequences, 1t is so
Congress, that it will probably be amended into
an early grave
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says:
1.-THE bill which passed the lower house of
Congress last week for the regulation of railroad
traffic between the States ought not to become
law and probably will not. That there is
necessity for some legislation of the kind is
evident, but Congress cannot equitably apply
hard and fast laws in regard to freight and
passenger rates. train service etc.. to the vary
ing conditions and diversified necessities of all
the railroads in the United States. To provide
the same limitation of passenger rates for new
and undeyeloped railroad in Texas and Arizona,
as for richly surrounded line like the Boston 81
Albany, or Baltimore s. Ohio is absurd. 1t is
equally ridiculous to attempt to provide that no
railroad shall ever charge more for short haul
than for a long haul which includes the short
one upon 3he same line.'

Passenger Men Want to Adjust Their
Troubles.

telegram from Boston says: sit is learned
from private sources that the prevailing demon
alization in passenger rates in the West has re-
suited in the issuance of call by Vice-chairman
Person, of the joint. executive committee, to
passenger agents of all lines interested, for a
meeting at Cincinnati, Tuesday next. 1t is in
tended to consider thereat whether the present
exorbitant commissions can not be reduced and
also to make effort to regulate this perplexing
question of commissions, in all its phases, tenn
porary at least Boston and Eastern men gem
orally who have been invited, express the be-
lief that nothing of Importance can be accom-
plished inasmuch as any agreement which may
be decided upon is sure to be revoked by some
of the roads adopting it."

The Indianapolis Pool Still Shows Signs of
Life


Commissioner Doherty seems quite deter
mined to continue the Indianapolis branch Of
the trunkline east-bound pool Yesterday he
called the agents of the roads which are mem
bers of the indianapolis association together to
talk over matters. The several roads in
the pool were represented. and the agents
all agreed to act as a unit on any action taken
by the meeting. After full discussion of the sit
uation it was voted to make the rate on grain
from indianapolis to the seaboard Is cents per
100 pounds fat, and all other articles under the
eighth class head 18a cents. Sixth class freights
and all other classes below sixth class,
including special rates, to be five cents per
100 pounds below the Chicago rate to the sea-
board The starch men will now have no rea-
son to grumble, as it gives them 20 cent per
100 pound rate. The agents present promised
to strictly live up to the rates agreed
upon. In case fast-freight lines outside
of the pool 90 below the rates
agreed upon at the meeting, Commissioner Doh
erty is to be notified, and agents will at once be
called together to take such action as they may
deem advisable In this connection it is proper to
say that the enterprising rate demoralizer who
represents one of the lines at this point which
works outside of all pools, remarked yesterday
that he was waiting to see what action was
taken at yesterdays meeting, and he would then
tell shippers what his line would do.

The scene in Commissioner Finks Office on
Friday last, by an eyewitness is said to have
been highly interesting and suggestive. After
hours had been spent in endeavoring to patch up
matters, George Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
lines. arose and remarked that he could see moth
ing to longer bind the roads to their agreement,
and then offered resolution tosuspend the oper
alton of the pools and to cease making reports
of shipments to Commissioner Fink's Office. His
was the only vote in favor of it. ''Well," said
he there is nothing more to do; we might as
we'll adjourn. A motion to adjourn is in order"
The motion was made by another of the Penn
sylvania representatives and carried. There had
been some talk on the time required after giving
notice of withdrawal from the pools, and the
abrupt termination Of the meeting with Presi-
dent Robertss well known position in the matter
was taken to indicate that he was ready to throw
off the pool restrictions. The remark was made
to him that any action on the part of his road to
meet the cut rates Of other lines without secur-
ing the authorization of the pool authorities
would be looked upon as failure on it's part to
longer recognize the pools Mr. Roberts replied,
without any show of feeling: Il have no doubt
the Pennsylvania will be able to make as good
rates anybody" Mr.. Roberts started for the
door. but came back and said goodbye to the
gentlemen.

Will Other than Immigrant Rates BE AZ
fected.

The question among passenger men is will the
war on immigration end with the immigration
traffic which, outside of local, is the best paying
business the roads running out Of New York en-
JOY. In the past the Pennsylvania has been re-
ceiving 15a per cent. of the business in the i'm
migrant pool, while the Erie and New York Cen
trail got 26 per cent each. The Baltimore &
Ohio got 81 per cent. before its connection was
cut off from New York. The distance from New
York to Chicago by the Pennsylvania is 9l2
miles The estimated cost for hauling train
per mile is fifty cents. If immigrant trains
averaged 200 passengers each the receipts would
be 5000 trip to Chicago and the cost of running
them would be 1856 The action of the Pennsyl-
vania it is plain makes it an expensive operation
for any road to attempt to compete with it. 1t
is characteristic of the Pennsylvania that when
it goes into a contest it forces the fight, and in
this instance there is no apparent use of trying
to cope with it. If the Pennsylvania reduces its
first and seconded fares with it's magnificent
system it will make bad havoc in the railway
field.
