chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often
terminates in Consumption. Ernest II.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
ActOn's Mistake.
, Of the indianapolis Journal:

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
No doubt the managers of the Acton show
realize that they made mistake this year in
abandoning their lake, for there have been rains
enough to have kept it in fair boating condition.
When it does not rain copiously the thing dries
up, and there was suspicion that the mud
emitted unwholesome gases, hence it was
abandoned Could not the same results he real
lied from flying dutchmen, swings ,oler
coasters or rinks2 These would furnish enter
tainrnent for the 6 $50 who go for the entertain
ments while the $50 who go to worship could
worship just as well with these in operation as
with the boating, and then there would be 10
danger from malaria. These are wholesome
entertainments and they would bring even
more at the gate than the lake, and twice as
much royalty. CHARITY.
L. S. Ought not the Actonites and Bethany
ties pool their incomesl Evidently they are in
each others way. Only about 1000 at Acton
and not more than that at Bethany last Sunday.
If a satisfactory pool cannot be effected, might
not Acton begin a week earlier and Bethany a
week laterl This would furnish five or six
consecutive Sundays for religious recreations
and the income would be increased to each The
hill at Bethany would afford splendid place for
a roller coaster. CHARITY

The Situation Frightening.

That practical railroad men regard the bust
ness situation as improving, is shown by the
current movement to restore rates to paying
peace negotiations have left the railroads in no
better condition than they were before, fares
and freight charges being still ruinously low
1t takes time to effect radical changes in the ad-
ministration of such vast interests, but the rail
road managers are at work in earnest, and re-
suits are already beginning to appear. The
progress towards a restoration of rates is most
important The first indication of the probable
result of the agreement between the Pennsy-
vania and New York Central for the acquisition
of the West Shore by the latter, is found in
the notice given for the withdrawal of the
thirty day mileage ticket at cent a
mile issued by the New York Central the West
Shore following suit. The meeting of the Cen
trail Traffic Association, held at Commissioner
Fink's Office, Commissioner Daugherty says,
was the most harmonious meeting
held there in nearly two years. and promises
more happy results than any other. There was
unanimous agreement in favor of the restora-
ton of the twenty cent rate between New York
and Chicago, and the roads which party
to this order are those which are not only the
most deeply interested in carrying it out, but
which have the power to do so if they so decide
The rate is not exorbtant, and will bear the cost
of doing the business, but it will prevent traffic
being carried at loss and admit of an improve
ment in local rates which will add considerable to
the revenue of the several companies concerned,
without checking the movement of freight. The
Southwestern pool also seems likely to get into
working order and steps are to be taken at
once to put the pools at points like Chicago. ST.
Louis Peoria, Indianapolis and Cincinnati in
healthy working order.

Beats All Former Records.

T. A Lewis, general manager Of the Erie fast
freight line, feeling nicely last evening over
fast made between Chicago and New
York with forty six car loads of tea. The tea
was carried in of the Great Western Dis
patch over the Chicago & Atlantic, the New
York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, and the Erie road,
and the run from Chicago to New
York was made in thirty seven hours
and forty minutes the limited passenger
trains, which so much ado is made are
twenty-seven hours making the run This is
without question the fastest run ever made in
this country with freight train. The entire
distance from Taomah to New York city, 1878
mites was run at an unparalleled speed, as
well, as it was covered in eight days and four
hours, and the run from st. Paul to New York
was made in sixty hours and forty-nine minutes.
The highest speed, however, was attained be-
tween Chicago and New York

Smaller Dividends in Prospect.

Stockholders of the Belt Road and of the
Terre Haute & Indianapolis, the Evansville &
Terre Haute, and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chi
cago the only dividend-paying roads in the
State, are not the only sufferers by cutting
down of their dividends. The old staunch road,
the Chicago & Alton, makes its dividend rate g.
instead of 10, as heretofore, and will issue re-
ports of its earnings as usual. In conversation
with prominent railway vice-presdent land
whose road pays per cent. on its common
stock), he remarked that some Of the leading
railroad men of the West were disposed to favor
a uniform rate of per cent those roads that
now exceed that figure, this being considered a
fair return for the investment The tendency
is unquestionaby in this direction, and in the
next few months there will probably be seen a
number of announcements of per cent divi-
dends where 7a8 have been hitherto paid.
