Legislature providing that no railroad company
whose net earnings for year exceed per cent
of the capital should charge a passenger more

recent article which appeared in the journal
under the head of "Boston's Money Sink hole, /"
says; 1.-The Quigley committee so-called, ap-
pears to be on top only so far as it is recog-
; nized by the court as the representative of a
majority of the bondholders. Boston has toll
erably clear underestimate; of this property and
of its condition physically and financially, and
knows as well as it can be told that the only
thing 'on top of the property is an enormous
debt"
The ticket-scalpers Of Buffalo, New York, are
in trouble over the return to them of over 81 900
worth of unused tickets in two days The tickets
were sold at special excursion rates to the New
Orleans exposition by three routes The railroads
selling these tickets require the buyer to sign
his name on the ticket rs guarantee that it
would not be transferred The roads sold un-
signed tickets to scalpers, however. 1t was on
the presentation of these tickets that the bureau
of railway companies at the exposition objected
refusing to stamp them or cancel them. thus
obiging the buyers to return the tickets to the
Buffalo brokers, who in turn had to refund the
money.

1t is understood that the Pennsylvania people
will to-day open the east-bound rate war at this
point as well as in St Louis, in earnest and
win make a 15-cent-per1 OO-pound rate from In
dianapolis to the seaboard.
A c.. st. L. & P. official is quoted az saying:
''There is to be more triaing, but rates are to
be cut to the quick The Pennsylvania people
have been lookers-on, and have lived up to pool
agreements strictly for two years past
and. others have hauled the business which
legitimately should go forward over their
lines. Now they propose to protect themselves
and there is to be no letting up until competitors
who make light of agreements and cut rates
with IMMUNITY, cry enough
Commissioner Doherty, of the east-bound
pool, when asked about the matter, last even
ing, remarked: Rates are badly demoralized.
and look for very low rates the coming week. y
1t is believed that the Pennsylvania people
will as well, reduce passenger rates from this
point as they have done at ST. Louis, as it is
well understood that there has been good deal
of cutting of passenger rates of late to Eastern
points by some of the competitors of the Penn
sylyania lines

Water Versus Rail Routes.

The annual report OF the operations of the
New York canals for 1884 shows that the total
amount of freight moved during the season was
5,O09,4 tons, or 654.5s8 tons less than was
moved on the canals in 1883. Of the freight
moved last year the products of the forest ag-
gregated l. GIL, FOG tons; of agriculture 1,264
237 tons; of manufacture, 205, 00G tons; merchan-
disc, 300 450 TONS and other articles, 1,56s, 059
tons. Not only was the volume of freight dimin-
ished, but the rates were unprecedentedly low.

roads. The reported operations of the New
York Central railroad for 1884 show 688. 024 tons
less freight than in 1883. and of the Erie 2538,

all lines competing with the canals was o. 123,

was .27 of a cent per ton per mile against $40

Will Renew His Efforts.

s. F. Pierson, vice-commissioner of the joint
executive committee of the trunk line pool,
seems determined to bring about his proposed
reform regarding the payment of commissions.
and has issued circular calling attention
to the fact that the payment of commissions to
ticket agents and ticket brokers has become a
very severe tax to the railroads. These com
missions amount in most instances to 20 per
cent of the entire receipts from the passenger
traffic, while in some cases it is as high as 40 per
cent. The recent meeting at Cincinnati having
proven fruitless, another will be held at Louis
vile, Feb. II, at which the presence Of the rep
resentatives of Southern and Western roads is
requested. The vice commissioner recommends
for consideration that all commissions for secur-
ing passenger business be fixed per cent. Of the
fares upon which they are paid between common
points, to the intent that when fares are reduced
commissions shall be proportionately reduced:
that each road shall participate according to the
benefit received; and, further, that no such COM
mission be permitted to exceed maximum of
Is per cent of the fare between such compe titive
points. This seems like hill work, yet it is a
reform that would save millions of dollars an
nually to the roads

The New Train Signal Adopted by the Penn
sylvaniiE Road


Mention was made fer- days since that the
Pennsylvania Railroad G. ,pany were testing a
patent air-tube system Of signaling on passenger
trains, and as it is SO much Of success that the
company propose to put it in general use, de-
scription Of the device will be Of interest Each
car has rubber tube running under the bottom,
and these are connected between the cars in the
same way as the Westinghouse air tubes. They
are kept charged with air at fifteen pounds press
ure from reservoir situated under the cab of
the engine, and which is itself Supplied from the
ar-brake reservoir. The rubber tube is also
connected with whistle valve in the engineers
cab. The conductor, by pulling cord in the
car, opens a valve in the rubber tube and allows
the air to escape This relieves the pressure on
the whistle valve and throws it open, causing
the whistle to sound So long as the cord is held
the whistle will sound One whistle means the
train is broken. The same effect would be
caused if the rubber tube was broken. and the
engineer would thus be informed at once OF the
accident
The new device is not popular among the
trainmen; but, although 1t is very costly, the
officers of the road are substituting it for the
bell rope The fault of the bell rope is that it is
apt to get too slack or to get broken The air
signal will also be placed on the West Jersey,
Camden and Atlantic railroads, and other roads
controlled by the Pennsylvania railroad west of
Pittsburp
