Henry Bennett Root In 1875 Mrs. Kate Root

The Passenger Men at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, May 13.-The central general
passenger agents committee continued their de-
alterations to-day. When the matter of the
Lake Erie g. Western outstanding issue of
tickets came up for discussion the
Cleveland west-bound roads, which are
the only ones that are directly interested,
were without representative in the meeting,
and the subject had to be laid BY The most
important business transacted by the committee
was the rejection of proposition to assess a
fine of 800 from every road violating the agree
ment to maintain rates. Each road put up a
certified check for $500 in the hands of
the chairman of the committee as security
for the fine should fine be assessed.
The next important matter settled was the
meeting, excepting the Nickel Plate from the
penal rule This order relieves all the ticket
pellers in what is called the Nickel
plates territory of the $500 fine for
cutting the rates. Aside from the
these two questions, nothing of Importance was
done. The committee adjourned to meet in Chi
cago on June 16. Said a general passenger
agent, soon after adjournment mo, we didn't
adjourn; we just quit You see, every man
was loaded down with complaints, and
every man was afraid some other
fellow would fire off his load and nobody wanted
to see the ball opened, so we just quit None of
us have maintained rates strictly, and none of
can, as long there is a single influential
road running outside of the agreement"

The State Board Of Education continued in
session yesterday, but the proceedings resulted
in no action of public interest, as the business

by Hiram Hadley Of this city, to the teacher
writing the best essay on 1.-THE Value of Cyclope-
dias in the School-room, and the Best Manner of
Using Them, was awarded by the judges to w.
w. Parsons, of the Indiana State Normal
School To-day the State Board will elect two
members of the board of trustees of the State
University, to fill the vacancies caused by the
expiration of the terms of DIR. j. d. Maxwell of
Bloomington, and Rev A. L Stetson, of Logans-
port. Hon. George A. Adams, of Martinsville,
will probably be made a member of the board,
and DR.. Maxwell will doubtless be reelected.
