Charles Lewis, brakeman on the Air Line road is missing from New Haven, where he is wanted by the police. Some two years ago he married Kittie Shanley and they lived happily together until with in two or three monts. On the sixth of November he disappeared and was gone several days. It now seems that he had been making love to Ellen Hayes of Willi- mantle, who supposed ~him to be unmar- ried. On that day she went with him to New Haven, and, as she supposed, was married to him. She asked for the mar riage certificate and Lewis told her he had 1t, but never gave 1t to her. Inquiry at the town clerks office shows that no mar riage license had been issued. After a few days Lewis took her to New London and soon afterwards left her. She has not been able to find him, but recently learned that he had another wife. Both Mrs. Lewis and Miss Hayes are highly spoken of by those who know them.

Time Has Righted Matters.

The numerous friends of Harry King are
much gratlfied that he has been selected by the
General Passenger Agents Association as their
commissioner. While it does not cover so much
ground as did that Of Commissioner Pierson, his
duties are important. Mr.. Pierson was chair
man of all meetings, referee and arbitrator of all
questions of dispute Under the reorganization,
so to speak, G. P. Atmore will be chairman Of
all meetings, Harry King secretary, referee and
arbitrator. The latter has seen 9
ups and downs of life to an extent
which seldom comes in ones life time
In 1862 to 1865 he was general passenger agent
of the Louisville & Nashville road-having come
up from a clerkship. Mr.. King was highly
esteemed by Commissioner Fink. then general
manager of the Louisville & Nashville road
Prosperity seemed to be then unfortunate for
him. he commenced to drink intoxicating
liquors too freely, and soon became unfit for
positions such as he had previously been filing
Some three years ago he swore Off and has not
drank drop of intoxicating liquors since. The
passenger men, knowing his good qualities.
encouraged him by employing him to prepare
rate sheets, and from this he has gone higher
until he reaches his present position, which pays
him So, 900. At the time Mr.. King was general
passenger agent of the Louisville & Nashville
road, G. p. Atmore now holding that position,

Reticence About Union Pacific Affairs.

New YORK, Sept. 10-Dispatches from Bos-
ton were received here today, stating that there
is evidently an iron-clad agreement between
Kidder, Peabody & Co., Lee, Higglnson & Co.
and President Adams of the Union Pacific. to
keep secret the details of the arrangement by
which the floating debt of the company has
been provided for. President Adams was re-
ported as declining emphatically to talk upon
the subject, except TO say: 1.-THE $6000 600
floating debt has been provided for, and
on excellent terms, too for the corpora
ton" Outside information is to the effect
that the company has sold outright certain bonds
for cash. In addition, it has placed another
large block of its securities in the hands of bank
inghouses, and has obtained loan on them.
On the latter transaction the lenders have an
option to buy the securities outright within
certain time, while the company has right to
take up the securities certain conditions
within a certain time. What securities were
pledged and what sold is not known. although
the sales were probably Oregon Short-line and
Kansas Pacific consols, while those pledged were
the St Joe 81 Western and more or less valuable
securities of other roads, of which the Union
Pacific has large supply.

Still Working for a Reduction in Rates.

>ehA ssoEhiuS AoT q AsCuuCeaOA AZ As0soos
Last year the rate on fruit from San Francisco
to Chicago was $500 car This year the fruit
growers asked that this rate be reduced to $400
a The railroads refused, but put down the
rate to $500, although they had previously given
Los Angeles rate of 5000 a car for oranges on
slow freight trains. Now the Atlantic & Pacific
is said by Judge Blackwood to have offered to
carry fruit for $500 a car by the trainload And
Mr. Stubbs tells A. T. Hatch that whenever the
fruit growers can fill fifteen cars Of fruit day,
the railroads will haul them to Chicago for $500
a car. This is just the rate which the railroads
getting for carrying tea to the eastern cities
by the train load All this shows progress, and
if the fruit growers persevere with steady
pressure the indications are that the railroads
will yield another point or two.
just now the difficulty appears to be how to
secure the regular supply of fruit which the
railroads demand Mr.. Stubs says. MAKE a
contract with us for a train day, and we'll haul
it for $500 car" But no fruit grower can take
the risk of signing such contract The San
Francisco Chronicle suggests that it would be
simpler for the railway to let each grower be
guided by his own interest, and to start its daily
fast fruit train soon as in the judgment of its
officers, the State furnished fruit enough to load
it. 1t might not pay at first. But two years
after the establishment of fast fruit line from
Sacramento to Chicago or Cincinnati. every
fruit grower in the State would be telegraphing
for cars. The traffic would be more likely to
need two trains than one.
