Only q Cut Rate VIII Suffice

A Chicago paper quotes an official Of one of
the seaboard lines out of Chicago as saying:
1.-The railroads will have to lower their carrying
charges which are too high when the value of
the product to be moved is considered. An open
reduction to twenty cents to New York would
not have the desired effect however. as the mar
ket would move right up and the situation
would not be changed. The stuff would be
damned up just as it is now. The only way to
move the accumulated property is to cut rates.
/ do not know what the officers will do at the
meeting on Wednesday. but if they want to start
the dormant grain they will make pretense of
keeping rates up and quietly permit agents to
cut. An open rate of twenty cents would render
cut just as necessary as it is now and the roads
will lose money We could get all the business
we could handle at three-cent cut from the
twenty Fl ve-cent rata

Freight business a Little or


The train records show that in the week end
ing Feb. there were received and forwarded at
Indianapolis a total of I9,205 cars against 20.
459 In the week ending Jan. 80, and against 23,
042 the corresponding week, 1885, Last week
there were go less loaded cars handled than in
the preceding week and 2. TIP less than in the
corresponding week. 1885, The last statement
will be rather surprise, but it should be borne
in mind that week of 1885, corresponding with
the week ending Feb. 6, 1886, followed the week
in which freights were greatly delayed by snow
blockades; consequently the much larger move
ment of the week ending Feb. Z, 1885, is ac-
counted for. The falling off noticeable last
week, as compared with the movement in the
preceding one was largely in local business, the
volume of through business east bound last week
comparing favorably with that of the preceding
one, and west bound tonnage was heavier than
In the week ending JAM 30. There is still
large movement of corn to New England points,
and considerable shipments to Baltimore. We
notice, as well, that hay and lumber are going
forward in larger quantities, while through
live stock traffic is unusually light for
this season of the year. West bound

hardly as heavy as it was in the preceding

Miscellaneous Notes.


It is understood that the Memphis & Little
Rock railroad has been sold to the Iron Mount
ain.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is pre-
pairing to lay third track from Chicago to Au
rora
The earnings for the month of January on the
Gould Southwestern system are said to be the
poorest for the past four years.
The Cheshire Railroad Company has sold the
New Hampshire and the Thomas NJ. Edwards,
passenger locomotives, being the last wood
burners on the road. These engines have been
hauling the passenger trains on that road for
thirty seven years.
President Adams, of the Union Pacific, is very
hopeful as to the business of the current year,
and looks for better results than were shown in
1885. The work of preparing the annual report
has been commenced and it will be six or seven
weeks before it will be ready to issue. 1t will be
in form, and also in detail, much like that Of
last year.
that the net debt of the Union Pacific system
is only $25. 600 per mile throws some of our con-
| temporaries into confusion upon the subject, by
conveying the impression that this is the debt of
the Union Pacific railroad. This is very wide of
| the truth. careful reading of the report shows
that the stock and debt of the Union Pacific cor
poration, the only body known to the govern
ment, is over 500. 900 per mile.
The Philadelphia Press is full of the new deal
by which the Reading is to be controlled by the
Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania itself is not
the owner of Reading generals, but its friends
are. Drexel, Morgan 81 Co. alone have $1,000,
900. and other friends bring the total up te

AMERICAN THEATER.

The sixth annual season of this popular resort opened last Monday night with first class novelty company and has drawn crowd ed houses nightly since it opened. To-day there will be a matinee performance. Next week at this resort "Our Strategists" will be presented. The 'sOur Strategists'' com pany which plays it's opening at the Ameri- can Theater next week, commencing Monday night, will undoubtedly prove great company success. Tlngay & Trayer, the proprietors of the show, have been making every effort to have frst-class company show this season and the American manager will undoubtedly second them in their efforts. The popular manager of the show, Mir. Philip c. Brayton, has been in the city for the past week arranging for the produc- ton. The scenic effects will be changed and every effort will be made to produce 8 frst-class performance. Jack Rutledge's "Our Strategist" will be represented by Charles Tingaay, Capsicum Pepper or our Pike will take the part of Major Howard Joe Regart and Ed. Wideman will take the respected parts of Arthur Rutledge and Ser geant Grumbleton. Miss Nellie Howard will be represented by Miss Marion Percy and Miss Millie Percy will take the part of Mrs. Major Howard. Miss Velna Phillips will take the place of Aramlnta. In the company are the brightest lights of the variety stage who have already made their mark in New York theatrical circles. It will undoubtedly draw well. John Wesley, the actor who has made the big hit at the American Theater this week as the Texan cowboy, will go to New York to play at the Eighth Avenue Theater, where he was immediately hired when Man ager Miles heard of his success here. He is great in the burlesque circus and dramatic satire. His imitation of Monte Cristo is equal to the original. He will play return engagement here
