The state-House Reserve Fund.

State Auditor Rice has delivered the opinion
that the 10 per cent which is not to be paid to
the State house contractors until the building is
completed is not to be set aside as a special
fund. This reserve now amounts to Sill, $50. TO-
He says the S,ate-house Commissioners may
draw every cent Of it for disbursementso long
as they do not pay more than 80 per cent of the
estimates MIR. sGcbel, one of the State'house
contractors, says that for every dollar thus re-
tanned the contractors have to invest another
dollar, and he does not view with angelic sweet
ness the manipulation of this money by State
Treasurer Cooper to his (Cooper,s) private profit
He thinks If the money is making per cent
the contractors ought to have the benefit of the
increase. Mr. Gubel. however, is a simple
minded man, unlearned in Democratic financial
sophistry.

Stevenson Burke vicepresident, George Fl. Rus

that the only improvement to be made to
the L. 6 St L. the present year, besides
maintaining the roadbed and equipment,
would be the laying Of twenty seven miles of
steel rail- weighing seventy pounds to the yard,
and ballastng the portion of the road through

broken stone. Within the past two years over
s., 600, 900 has been expended in improvement to

ballasted with gravel to depth of eighteen
inches.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The much abused Lake Erie & Western road
seems to be again getting its head above water.
The earnings of the road for theiirst week in
February were 1885, 1872 OLA; 1854, .$18, 449; in
crease. $13 625.
The New York Dial says: s"The reports that
President King will resign from Erie due to
the alleged failure of the directors to furnish
funds to meet the interest coming due. Over
$3, 600 is required to meet the car trust de-
mands, and iJ is claimed that there iS no cash on
hand to meet the obligation"
The system and working of the devices of the
American Pneumatic Signal Company, of Boston,
is described and illustrated in the Railroad Ga
zette of last week. These signals have been on
trial nearly three years on the Boston & Provi-
tdence and oneyearqon the Old Colony and are
pronounced efficient and economical.
Notwithstanding the dull times the directors
of both of the American railroads In Mexicosare
in hopeful frame of mind. The floating debt
of the Mexican Central Company is about
funded, and the outlook for net traffic earnings
during the coming year is considered very good.
Subsidy receipts also promise to be continuous.
The New York Railroad Commissioners are in
vestigating complaints of discomfort from the
"overheating and liberalization Of cars. The
pipes under the seats are objected to- and the
commissioners have inquired why it might not
be feasible and better to locate the pipes at the
center of the floor. The commissioners have
tackled big question. Bad ventilation of
coaches often makes travelling by rail very I'M
pleasant.
In commenting on the elephant that Massa-
chusetts has upon its hands In the Hoosac tunnel,
the Springfield Republican says if there is one
general principle which may be considered as
established by the experience of the last thirty
or forty years i: is that private enterprise and
private capital are sufficient for building all the
new railroads that will be profitable property
thatis to say all that trade and public conve-
nlence require.
George w. Rstne, general manager of the
Atlantic e. Pacific road, is in New York city,
and confirms tie report that this company has
been making the shortest time of any transcon-
tinenal route upon through freight, and he says
there is no truth in the report that the Texas &
Pacific has withdrawn from the transcontinental
spool. The local trafficSalone amounted to SOL, :
900 during December, and the through business
Is about twice as much.
There has recently been large amount of ex-
ira talk regarding the Wisconsin Central and
its prospective line to Chicago There are,
however, no reasons for surprising that the
Central will attempt suchA move in the near
future. First, because the road would cost a
larger amount of money than it would be con
venient for the company.to secure in the pres
ent depressed condition Of railroad property.
Second it would be difficult for the road to gain
an entranceto Chicago on advantageous terms.

The Local Passenger Agents and Scalpers
Lock Horns.


The Local Passenger Agents and Scalpers
Lock Horns.
The recent action of the local passenger
agents is creating quite futter among the
half dozen ticket scalpers located at this point
and who have prospered through the aid which
the local passenger agents have given them
AS consequence, the ,scalpers are max
ing desperate effort to sdemoralize
matters again. However should the local
agents adhere to their agreement they have the
scalpers in tight place. To illustrate, one
scalper purchased from George Rech, local
agent of the Vandalia and it's connections, two
tickets reading over the Vandalia the Chicago
& Alton and the Atchison Topeka g. Santa
Fe, paying full rate for the same,
expectingto receive a commission from the two
last named roads on the tickets sold under the
agreement George Rech, the regular agent, is
entitled to said commission and will demand it;
so will the scalper and the matter is brought
down to fine point. The question is. which
will the Chicago IL Alton and the "A, II. & s.
F.. recognize-the regular ticket agent or the
scalperY One ticket broker is quoted as saying
he will sink $500, but that he will break up the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the passenger men. Yester-
day. for instance he sold four tickets to New
Orleans, reading over the c., L., st. l.. d c.,
and the Crescent & Queen City route,
at ST off rate and be took special pains to let the
j., M. & l., and L. & N. passenger agents know
that the tickets were sold. The general passenger
agent saw through the scheme, and is more de-
termined than ever to maintain the New Orleans
rate, and'the c., l., St L.j8S G. have pledged to
do likewise Atany rate the situation is be-
coming interesting, as it is pot fight between
the local passenger agents and the scalpers
