vania street. He was sort of leader to the
bootblacks and newsboys about the Union Depot
All of them were in the habit of getting their
meals at the Home, where arrangements have
been made to furnish them food at cost, and
where they can obtain bowl of soup and bread
for three cents, and other food proportionately
cheap. Reagan found not long ago that one of
the boys at the depot was gambling and was get
ting in debt at the Home and he said
to him: "You amt a-doin' right You amt
square. You must pay that" Reagan went to
the managers of the Home aid told them he
would see that the Indebtedness was paid. From
that time on he brought in few cents per day
that he obtained from the other boy, and thus
gradually paid the debt.
For few days previous to his death Reagan
had not obtained much work. and had himself
got in debt to the Home to the amount of Ia
cents. Yesterday morning the other boys came
up and asked if John owed anything On being
told the amount they made it up among them
selves and paid it. Tomorrow the dead boys
funeral will take place from the Home, and
doubtless nearly all the newsboys in the city will
attend. The religious exercises will be conduct

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journals:
I think the Y. M. G. A. officers have reached
that point where it would be well to call upon
the Christian women Of our city to aid in this
most noble enterprise I thought as I saw
hundreds of women rising to pledge themselves,
in the future. to new conservation, that moth
ing would show more practical and Christ-like
fullfllment of that pledge than to come forward
with their contributions and help to rescue the
pershing" among the young men of our city.
Would it not be well to call a mass-meetng of
women, to be addressed by Mrs. L. G. Robinson,
and others. who are accustomed to address the
public. and appeal to them by all the good that
they have received from the visit of those earn
est men of God, Jones and Small. to make a
thank offering to the cause that should lie very
close to the heart of every woman, pagan" and
Christian2
Surely we could raise one-half the amount
necessary, and then the pastors should give
their hocks rest until the remainder was
guaranteed. It seemed to me wise to take this
tide of feeling and utilize it to the honor of our
city and the welfare of the coming man. This
is mere suggestion.

SUDDEN DEATH OF DIR. STRATFORD.
The Coroner's Life Terminated by Heart Dis
ease-Appointmen of His Successor.

DIR. Isaac w. Stratford, coroner of Marion
county, died suddenly yesterday morning, about
o'clock, from heart disease and congestion of
the bowels During Wednesday he attended to
his business as usual and was not thought to be
ill. At 8 o'clock in the evening, however, he
returned to his home No. 1877 Buchanan street,
from making a professional CALL in a fatigued
and distressed condition His brother, Dr. A.
Stratford and Drs Rocker and Hadley were
called. In spite of all they could do the patient
died at A o'clock from heart disease. the fatal
effect of which was FASTENED by congestion of
the bowels
DR.. Stratford was forty seven years old, and
was born in Switzerland county. He removed
to Upton county in 1858 and began to practice
medicine. He was married In 1868 to Miss Car
ohne Kyle, at Hanover. Mrs Stratford and one
daughter survive him. The family came to In
dianapolis in 1870, and DR.. Stratford soon after
graduated at the Indiana Medical College. He
has served as councilman, alderman, school COM
missioner and coroner The recent Democratic
county convention renomnated him for coroner.
He had little property beyond his residence.
His life insured for $1,000 in the
Order Of the Iron Hall. He had alternative prac-
tice, but kept no books and was indulgent to his
creditors especially these of the poorer class,
for whom he did much gratuitous practice. He
anticipated that his death would occur soon.
The funeral will take place Saturday at 1:30
o'clock P. NJ. from the family residence The
funeral services will be conducted by Rev. j. A.
Sargent, of Fletcher place Church. This even
ing at 1880 o'clock meeting of citizens of the
South Side will be held for the purpose of max
ing arrangements for attending the funeral.
The vacancy in the Office of coroner caused by
DR.. Stratford's death was filed yesterday morn
ing by the County Commissioners, who elected
DIR. Charles N. Rocker deputy coroner, to
the place and made DR.. Frank Nor
rison the deputy. It is said that
Dr. Rocker or DIR. McNutt. of Southport will be
put on the Democratic ticket as the candidate
for coroner. 1t is said that County Commits
sioner Sahm was awakened as early as 5 o'clock
BY Democratic physician, who had FASTENED
to his home to ask his support for DIR. Stratfords
place, and was told by the Commissioner that,
owing to the condition of his health, ha would
have TO finish his sleep before giving any
thought to the matter.

Undertaking Must Be stopped.

Undertaking. what, practically, is through bust
ness is still INDUCED in to such An extent as to
call the attention of the trunklin pool to it, and
agents have been placed at the west end of the
trunk lines to see that no business under the
euise of local or short billing goes through. 1t
is rule of the railroad agreements that the sum
of all local rates between two given points shall
not under any circumstances be less than the
through rates between the two places. Unfortu-.
nately, many of the local rates from interior
towns and cities have not been made to conform
to the through, east bound standard of
freight tariffs. Hence, some of the West
ern lines have billed goods to Buffalo,
for instance at local rates. the goods
have been re-billed through to New York and the
two rates united have been less than the through
tariff from the point of origination to New York.
Add to this the fact that in most instances the
two local shipments have gone over the roads
with all the convenience and swiftness of one
through shipment OF course this whipping the
devil around the stump is naughty, and Com
missioner Fink has called Western Commissioner
Blanchard to account for 1t. Mr.. F. has sternly
said "Mr. B., you must correct your local rates
so as to stop this shinnanegan."
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-06-25
Still a Question.

In its issue of the 22d the Chicago Times says:
'The controversy still goes on as to whether the
25 cent summer rate on grain TO- New York, all
rail, has been of such great benefit to the roads
as is claimed. 1t is pretty clearly figured out
that the Eastern trunk lines have derived
larger revenue from much smaller movement.
and from this the advocates of higher rate
argue that the policy is a good one.
But they ignore from the calculation
the Western connectiouns entirely, and
base their results on less than
on.haf of the transportation involved If the
25-cent rate forces an undue proportion of the
shipments by the lake TO Buffalo, the loss to the
Chicago lines is left out in figuring on the gains
that accrue to the trunk lines from Buffalo to
the seaboard. the latter being able to pick up
portion of the lake tonnage. 1t only emphasizes
what has been insisted on from the beginning,
that the interests of the dependent Chicago
lines are secondary considerations. This does
not touch the question whether the Chicago
roads are worse off than they would have been
had lower rate obtained. It is probable that
they are not, but this is for reasons that have
nothing to 90 with the rate, but depends on con-
ditions Of the market"
