CHICAGO, Oct %. The rate committee of the
Ohio River pool was in consultation to-day,
with Commissioner Midgely in relation to a
condition of things which seems not unlikely to
develope into a serious and widespread case of
rate cutting. 1t has been charged for some time
past that the lines included in the Ohio River
pool have been making a rebate of cents per
100 pounds on all meats and packing house prod
ucts destined to territory south OF the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi river, to what is
known Green-line points This section is COW
cred by the Louisville g. Nashville road,
which virtually dictates all tariffs in
common. with the Southern Railroad and
Steamship Association pool, which also exercises
authority over portion of the territory Since
the completion of the Fort Scott & Springfield
road TO Memphis it has divided the trade with
Chicago and ST. Louis, that road taking the
packing house products of Kansas City into
the Green-line territory, and cutting into
chicago and st. Louis materially. Tariffs in all
directions have been shaky for months past
which tends to aggregate the unpleasantness of
the situation. 1t is stated that SO entirely has
the rebate system of the Ohio River pool lines cut
of the Fort Scott road, that not car of packing
house. products has been shipped South by that
line for more than n month. Mr. Sargent,
traffic manager of the Memphis road, has been
loud in his complaints on this account. He has
appealed to Commissioner Midgely to be allowed
to meet the rebate. but that privilege has
not been conceded Attempts to get
together the managers of all roads
interested in traffic in this territory. to get
at the bottom of the difficulty, and remove it, to
the satisfaction of ALL have so far proved fruit
less At the meeting to-day it was decided to
make an effort to induce the Chicago lines to
do away with the rebate system. In case
this cannot be accomplished, the Fit Scott
road will probably be allowed to meet
the rebate for the present. AS The question is of
no small interest to other points than those men
toned notably Cincinnati and St. Louis, to al
low the Fit Scott road to meet the rebate made
by its competitors will be to bridge over tempo

Anxious to Pay Their Debts.

Said an Erie man: ''You can say in the Jour
nal that the Erie road is rapidly coming to the
front. Not for twenty years has it been IN as
good shape financially ands physically, rs at the
present time. President King is unloading the
debts of the road with a rapidity which not only
surprises railroad men, but fnanciers who are
conversant with the condition the property was
in in both respects when Mr. King took hold of it.
He said there was determination to manage the
property honestly and economically. and improve
it in every way President King has instructed
officials in charge of ali departments to notify
by circular all agents that the company desires
that every person or party who has claims
aeaint the road should present them as early as
possible and if said claims are just and correct
they will be paid without further delay" 1t is
encouraging that road which has been so long
under financial cloud is emerging therefrom
Said the official. You can say to the world that
the Erie is hunting claims against it, SO anxious
is it to pay them" The local and through
business is now very heavy and carried at fair
paving rates.

He Violated Orders,

The epidemic of accidents on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad seems to require heroic measures
1t is to be hoped that the official tour of inspec
ton will supply the required remedies. The
frightful railroad accident near Jersey City is a
striking demonstration of the merit of the block
system. 1t is also striking demonstration of
the fact that the best rules and regulations are
worthless unless they are observed intelligently
by those intrusted with the responsibilities of
them. This particular disaster was caused by q
telegraphic operator acting in direct violation of
one OF the most important rules of the block
system. He concluded that a certain train had
had plenty of time TO leave a certain block and
sgnaled for the express train to come on al
though he had received no notice that the block
was free. The man is said to be experienced, and
has good reputation for carefulness. He, how
ever, took risk in violation of orders, and the
result is we'll known.

LOUIS XII
Mr. w. e. Sheridan, supported by a strong
company appeared at Englishs Opera house
last night in his personation of Louis XII before
O large audience, which evinced an acute dis
elimination in its manifestations of appreciation
Since Mr.. Sheridan last appeared here, several
seasons ago, in the character of Louis XII, the
people of indianapolis have witnessed the per-
sonation of the crafty and INSCRIPTIONS French
King by Henry Irving who doubtless,
ia no other character so near attans perfection
as a great actor Mr. Sheridan's Louis XI is
well worthy Of comparison with Mr. Irvngs,
and it Is In this way that it can best be judged
critically. Mr.. Sheridans conception of the
character is equal to Mr.. Irving's. but the dis
ftnetve difference between the two actors is that
Mr Irving does not seem TO be acting Louis XI
hut is Louis XII, while Mr. Sheridan leaves with
his spectators the conclusion that he is
} acting the character although. to be sure,
IN a wonderful manner. The company which
supports Mr. Sheridan is exceptionally mertori-

GRAND oPERAyHoUsE-"A BUNCH OF KEYS"
The almost incessant laughter and applause
which greeted the performance at the Grand

ANOTHER BREAK IN THE BARRETT COMPANY.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22-There were rumors in

More Consolidation of Fast-F reight Lines.

More Consolidation of Fast-Freight Lines.
A railroad official who, when at home, is in
close consultation with the trunk-line managers,
remarked last evening that the consolida-
ton of fast-freight lines has by no means
been carried as far as intended. Unless the mil
lennial era now brooding over the trunk lines
meets with reverse within the next sixty days.
there will be but one fast-freight line each
OF the trunk-line roads and their respective con-
nectlons. 1t was highly probable that all lines
on the Vanderbilt roads would be consolidated
into one and run as the Merchants Dispatch.
All lines running the Erie roads would be
run under one name-or in other cords, line
trade marks would all be dropped. The
Official stated that at recent meeting of the
trunk-line presidents, one of the presidents went
SO far as to introduce resolution to the effect
that at New York Chicago St. Louis and other
railroad centers there should be one Office and one
set of officials for all fastfreight lines running
over the trunk lines. The matter was dropped
however, for the time being but would doubt
less be brought up again. The fact is, said the
official, the presidents have determined to cut
down operating expenses in all department to
the lowest practical limits, and there is no bet
ter place to begin the work than in lessening the
expenses attached to operating some twenty-five
fast-freight lines as separate organizations.

Doctoring the TranscontinentaI Pool.

e. A. Ford is mingling business with pleasure
in his California trip. The San Francisco
Chronicle says: ''It appears that the traffic
accounts of the general auditor of the pool have
been placed under examination by committee
composed of three persons selected by the rail
road companies, who are acting with General
Auditor Cannon. 1t is understood that this ex-
animation is being made at the request of the

The Cleveland Leader says that Vanderbilts
aim is to crystalline his interests into system,
like that of tho Pennsylvania Company, under
one management. AS at present constituted his
properties are prone to quarrel with each other
in quiet sort of way. The Lake Shor, is
wholly independent of the New York Cen ra
and, when their interests clash, stoutly maintains
Its position, often with success. The Decline in
terests are also diverse very often. On business
to the Southwest Lake Shore surrenders freight
very grudgingly to the Bee-line for it can get a
bigger haul by carrying it to Toledo and giving
1T to the Wabash road. or better STILL by carry
ing it all the way to Chicago But it is
to the interest of the Decline to deliver east
bound business to the Lake Shore or Nickel
plate, tor it then gets haul over its entire
road. The New York Central also has not
yielded all its southwest business to the Bee
line. but has cultivated the friendship of other
roads In order to obtain business in return. and
1t has given only fraction of it's Chicago bust
nessto Lake Shore, which is regarded, how
ever, as It's proper continuation. Since he has
acquired the West Shore it is said that Mr..
Vanderbilt will make some provision for the
mutual Interests of his numerous properties, else
there will be constant chickering's and unsatls-
factory results. Since he has cultivated the in
tmacy of the Pennsylvania officials, it is alleged
he has seen the beauties of one general manage
