A circular has been addressed to holders of
New York Pennsylvania & Ohio first mortgage

the property by the rapid accumulation of fund

isfed themselves that such step is legal, ask
the bondholders to sanction the stoppage of
further issue of the bonds.

Geld Republican, certainly never in the last

The Valuation of taxable Property.

Deputy State Treasurer Conner expresses the
opinion, in an interview, tbas instead of the APP

On a Solid Basis.

The Yardmasters' National Association, which
has Just closed its session in PHILADELPHIA was
largely attended, there being very nearly 400
delegates present. When organized on Feb Is,
7575, it had only thirty four members. When
the 6rst annual meeting was held in Indianap-
oils, during June of that year, the membership
numbered 125. Secretary SAWYER shows there
are now nearly 400 members in the association.
For the first six years of the life of the organiza
lion It's success was not very marked. The diff
ferent railroads of the country regarded it with
tine same distrust that has been felt on the part
of railroad officials for every such organization,
the object OF which is generally regarded as
probably inimical to the management of the
roads. So great was the influence of the rail
road organizations directed against it that
at last the members of the association
realized that something must be done to disarm
this opposition, or else the usefulness of the So
ciety would be greatly curtailed After much
delberation at the Milwaukee convention of
7881, the solution of the problem was found in
the addition to the constitution Of the following
amendment: ANY member who shall engage in
strike, or shall encourage others to join in one
shall be expelled from this association and shall
forever after be debarred from becoming mem.
der. His name shall be sent to each division
and placed on file. It shall be the duty of each
aocal secretary to notify the general officers of
&he road by which he is employed: also a list of
such names shall be kept by the grand secretary,
whose duty it shall be to notify all divisions

A telegram received last evening announced
the death Of James FL. Rutter, one of the best
known railroad men in this country. The
deceased was born in Lowell, Mass, on Feb 0,
1886 He entered railway service in 1854.
from which time to April 1856, he
was clerk in the Erie Office at
Elmira. From April, 1855, to November 1857,
cashier in freight Office of the Williamsport &
Elmira road; November, 1857, to March. 1853,
clerk in freight Office of the Michigan Southern
e. Northern Indiana railroad, Chicago; March,
1858, to December, 1859, freight agent OF the
Chicago and Milwaukee road; December 1859,
to March, 1864, agent of the Erie road at
Elmira; March, 1864, to May, 1866, freight
agent at Buffalo, N. Y; May, 1866 to June,
1872, assistant general freight agent Of the Erie
road. In June, 1872, he accepted the position OF
general freight agent on the New York Central
which position he held until june 1877, when he
was made general traffic manager of the
road In March, 1880, he was elected
third vice-president of the New York Central,
which position he held until May, 1883, when he
was elected president of the road which position
he honorably filled until death claimed him.
Mr. Rutter was man Of large executive ability,
well posted in all departments of railroad serv-
ice, and created a favorable impression
with business men with whom he came
in contact. The deceased has been out Of health
for some weeks, and recently took an extended
Southern trip which seems to have been but tenn
porary in it's benefits, and he is another victim
among railroad men whose death was fastened
by oyerwork.

A Trunk-Line Presidents Remedy.

A Trunk-Line Presidents Remedy.
When questioned regarding the situation with
the railroads. the president of trunk line is
quoted as saying Confusion and turmoil in
both freight and passenger rates still character
ize the situation, and are likely so to do until the
general commerce of the country begins to show
signs of Improvement. Like the iron men and
the coal men, the railroad men are pickering
with each other because the business community
does not give them sufficient employment. An
increase Of % per cent in the current volume of
our domestic exchanges, and a prospect for an
increasing foreign demand for Our breadstuffs,
provisions, petroleum and cotton would
straighten out the railroad entanglements very
quickly and put short meter stop to all the
rate cutting now going on. 1t really seems as
though business interests had been dragging
along on hard bottom about long enough, and
some such improvement as indicated ought to be
in order pretty SOON"
