Going from Bad to Worse.

Reports from Chicago. Peoria and ST. Louis
show that. yesterday, east-bcund rates were
more demoralized at those points than at any
time in two years past at Chicago The tariff
of 20 cents on grain and 25 cents on provisions
has been SO far forgotten as to allow grain rates
: q fall to IL, 12a, and 13 cents, and provision
rates to 20 cents. These rates were freely quoted
yesterday. 1t was even rumored that the Balti.
more d Ohio had cut grain rates to Q cents, but
of course this was not authenticated. Many low
rates were offered, but not accepted. because
was reported that both the Star, Union and Red
lines We're billing export grain to New York at a
l2-cent rate; also that prominent line offered
10 ship ZOO barrels of pork TO New York for Is
cents. This offer was refused because there was
no market in the East. circular letter issued
by the Michigan Central road announced that
it's rates on grain, Chicago to New York, were Ii
cents, and ON provisions, II cents

Tends to Make Business Better.

One sign of the improving times is the laying
out Of new railroads. Some of these railroads
will. perhaps. be rs superAuous as the West
Shore, but they make business while they are
being laid. In fact, it looks as though the next
depression would result from the collapse of
solid Northwestern stocks on account of the
competition with each other of the lines beyond
Chicago We have noted already that Rock
Island is about to build new line to ST. Paul
The Wisconsin Central is also moving to COM
plete connections with Chicago, making fourth

Schesingerville to Chicago, 600 men will be at

the St Paul ROAD has sent party of surveyors
to locate an extension from Ottumwa,
Ia, to Kansas City, Mo-, about 200 miles,
project ascrbed to P. d. Armour. although it
has long been contemplated. Coming nearer
home, the Midland road is being pushed west
from Noblesviile. The Cincinnati Wabash g.
Michigan people are in earnest in their move to
extend their road to Indianapolis; in fact are
quietly securing the right of way. The Chicago

The Eel River Line.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 1.-Mr. II. g. Wood. an
expert accountant of New York, is here examin-
ing the accounts of the Wabash railroad. with
the special view of ascertaining the condition and
the money earning capacity of the Eel river
branch, one of the leased lines of the Wabash.
The examination is being made ostensibly in the
interest of the bondholders of the road but it is
asserted that if the report of the expert is favor
able, the line, which is ninety three miles long,
extending between Logansport and Butler. Ind.

What They Propose to DO with Their New
Acquisitions.


Acquisitions
very we'll known and prominent railroad
official of the Pennsylvania road says. regarding
the parallel lines they have been recently gath
ering in, that the money expended In the
acquisition of the South Pennsylvania railroads
property and franchises is not going to be
wasted. The contractors on the western end of
the line had easier work thar those on the CEN
trail and eastern portions. and pushed along with
greater energy. The consequence is that that
part of the line is much nearer completion than
the others. The Pennsylvania railroad will
finish and utilize good deal of this as a part Of
their system of roads in Maryland now termin-
ating at Cumberland Another slice will be
used in connection with the Rroadtop line
Unless the programme is changed the remainder
of the South Pennsylvania will not be finished
now, and perhaps never"
''And as to the Beech Creekq'
pretty much the same course will be fol-
lowed with the Beech Creek Cearheld 81

time for the Pennsylvania IT, have built a road
to develop trade in the section of the State COW
cred by the Beech Creek enterprise, and much
traffic will no doubt grow up along its ,ine This
will be dropped off at such points as will be most
convenient for Harrisburg Sunburv, Williams
port and other centers now reached by the Penn
sylvanias branches, but not much is likely to be
done with that portion OF the Beech Creek ex-
tending into New York State"

It is believed that in the near future freight,
as well as passenger trains will. on all first
class roads, be equipped with an automatic brake
of some kind. Some of the New England
roads now have the matter under consideration,
and already the Boston and Albany people pro-
pose to equip their freight trains with some
description of power brake. seemingly having
become convinced that hereafter profit will
consist in what is saved by means Of superior
appliances more than by alliances or any
of the privileges of monopoly. At test of an
automatic brake on a freight train of the Lehigh
Valley road a few days ago, seventeen loaded cars
running at forty miles hour down grade of
twenty-five feet to the mile, was stopped in a
distance of 1647 feet. In speaking of the tests,
Mr.. j. R. Donnelly. the division superintendent
of the road, says: ''The period is coming when
an hours time difference in delivering freight at
its destination will control the business. Rates
are to be the same over all routes to competing
points. Speed and safety will be the considera-
ton with shippers We have no trouble in run
ming freight trains fast. We could run them as
fast as express trains The trouble is to stop
them. With our hand brakes and ordinary train
crews, on the down grade where this test was
made, we couldn't have stopped that train short
of Phillipsburg, nearly ten miles away. Suppose
there had been a Pullman car on the track In
that distancel"
