The local passenger agents and passenger
agents of connecting lines whose headquarters
are in Indianapolis were in conference yesterday
for several hours, and after some sharp talk
better feeling prevailed and the agreement
published in the Journal of Friday

missions shall be paid only to regular
passenger agents, was signed by the following

IMMIGRANT Travel.

The Pennsylvania people are evidently deter
mined to carry the immigrant travel One of
the officials says: eve now have running 200
immigrant cars, and at days notice we can
put almost 500 of these cars on the road We
can carry every immigrant holding ticket.
Why, during all of last years season we never
got over 1000 of these passengers day, and
twenty five cars can easily carry that number.
Our road is able to take care of itself, 10 matter
what rival companies may say, and all the i'm
migrants we get will be hauled TO their destina-
tions in spite of the present low rates. They
will suffer neither from Inconvenience nor DELAY.
The immigrant business is very peculiar one,
They are not familiar with the American way of
running railroads, and for that reason we have
taken great pains to reduce their transportation
to System.n

A Model Railway Commission.

The harmony which exists between the Rail-
road Commissioners of Massachusetts and the
management of the roads of that State strikes
one very favorably. The railroads have been so
ready to accede to the recommendations of the
commission that the latter expresses itself as
well satisfied with this limit to its powers" 1t
does not covet any authority to fix rates
and charges, preferring simply to act
as an arbitrator between the rail
roads and the people. This will account
for the popularity of the commission, and for the
excellent work it has done. 1t has not been
created enemy of the railroads, with the
sole duty imposed upon it of harming and an
noyng the roads. Had such been the ease the
result would have been different. While, how
ever, the commission has performed its duties in
q friendly and conservative spirit, it has never
theless looked sharply after the interests of the

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. %.
With the somewhat milder weather an inn
provement in trade is noticeable, and for Monday
twas fairly active. No one seems to question the
probability of good trade with more spring like
weather Stocks are low in country stores, but
merchants seem disposed to delay purchasing
largely while tho weather Is so nnfavorable to
business. There is little to note as regards
prices. Sugars aud coffees are little offish
East. but not sufficiently so to affect
prices in this market. It would seem
hardly possible to force prices in these
articles lower than they have ranged for
some time past The poultry market continues
1irm, and choice article of butter meets with
ready sales. Eggs easing off in price. The
demand for hog products, sluggish Prices firm
as quoted Hogs higher at all points.
There was no grain call to-day, the boards of
trade every where having observed this day in
Lieu OF Washington's birthday.

The Underlying Cause.

Kiernau's Bureau gives the following wise and
owl-liks utterances: 1.-THE underlying cause for
the rumors that the West Shore and New York
Central have settled their differences is the fact
that VIM. II. Vanderbilt, George Roberts, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad; Dr. Hostetter,
of the South Pennsylvania railroad, and others
largely interested, held conference at the resi-
lence of Mr. Vanderbilt at which il is under
stood that all parties made concessions, the ulti

THE "wHEEL-A-GIa" OF ENTER.
PRISE.


Sauntering along Jackson street one
day recently, our attention was attracted
by the blacksmith:
"swinging his heavy sledge'
"With measured beat, and Slow
and we were prompted to peep into the
manufacturing institution of Jensen d
Firestone. We are some what surprised
at the vast proportions to which their
business has developed within twelve
months" Jensen ID 30 extremely un-
pretentious, and Firestone bears such a
mien of modesty, that they never pre-
sumo to relate what they are doing, but
We were 30 thoroughly convinced that
they have built up business worthy OF
away, forthwith. Since this time last
wear they have nearly doubled their
working force and nothing but the inca
pacity Of their building prevents far
greater increase. Every inch Of their
room is in crowded condition and an
enlargement of their establishment IS in
evitable. So great is the demand for
first-class spring vehicles that they have
been compelled to discontinue the man
ufacture Of farm wagons, and are turning
away orders for the same every day.
They can scarcely do half the job work
that comes to them. During this week
they have shipped one of their first-class
buggies to V. b. Seward, at Marshall,
Mimi, as well as large orders to Ada,
Madelia, Wells and other places. We
notice also that Holbrook 4 Lee are
driving one of their elegant spring wag-
ons. Their works are fast acquiring u
wide spread reputation; and they have
knocked the poetry all out oil Paddy's
lines
Rich men ride In gigs and chaises,
But poor men walk afoot, be Jasus."
for they sell top buggies from $50
upwards, 30 that all may be supplied.
Those desiring to secure good rigs,
well and substantially made, should not
fail to call upon Jensen & Firestone.

REPORT FROM THE HARVEST IN
FRANCE.
The D. M. Osborne & Co. Harvester IL
King.

We have been shown by Mr.. j. G.
Roller, copy of the following cablegram
just received by ID. M. Osborne & Co.,
Minneapolis, from the head of their
house, Mr.. Osborne, who is in Europe
on brief visit to his Paris branch office
To ID. VI. Osborne & Co., Minneapolis, MINI.
PARIS, France, July IL, 1885.
In field trial of self-binders held at
Nantes yesterday by the French bureau
of agriculture, Osborne No. IL steel frame
binder took first prize and SPECIAL gold
medal, given by the minister of agricul-
ture of the French nation, in competi-
ton against the Mccormick, Deering
and Johnson. ID. NJ. OSBORNE.
The result of this trial in competition
with the machines mentioned, whose
reputation, as rule, has been consider
ed ut the first, speaks loudly for the su-
periority of the Osborne steel frame
binder. The sample on exhibition at
Mr.. Rollers place of business shows that
the Osborne people have made a re-
markable Improvement over the hither-
harvesters. The frame of the Osborne
machine is made of angle steel, to which
is bolted all the important gearing, max
ing it at once strong and very light of
draft. There seems to be no good rea-
son why iron and steel should not be
used in the construction of farm ma
chinery, taking the place of wood, to
the same extent that it Is being substi-
tuted Tor wood in other implements re-
quiring great solidity, durability and
lightness OF draft. A farmer should
think twice before buying the old style
of wood frame harvester, and an inspec-
ton of Mr.. Rollers sample will convince
him that this is good advice.
