~ Action for loss under a policy. The
plaintiff testified that, Immediately after the fire,
she gave notice of the loss to the local agent.
Shortly party, representing himself to be an
adiuster of the company, came and made an ex-
animation of tie duplicate bills of her stock;
made estimates of stock on hand at the time OF
the fire. He then prepared a written statement,
which she signed and verified and which the
adjuster retained Thereupon he told her she
had nothing more to do; that the company would
settle the loss, etc. Held, these facts amounted
to waiver of proof of loss. (2) The agent
charged with the duty of making inquiry con-
corning the matter, and having induced the in
sured to believe that no other proof would be
required the company is estopped to deny the
agents authority to dispense with the formal
proof, and accept others.

The Next Desirable Reform.

AS soon as the roads of this country get their
financial snarls Strengthened out, the next ad-
vance movement should be to do away with grade
crossings wherever possible New England is
setting good example in this direction. In this
respect America is behind the old countries, and
the abolition Of grade crossings in this country is
becoming almost imperative Where district is
thickly settled. and is covered with network Of
public roads, the railway lines should be carried
above or beneath them. "Look out for the loco
motive when the bell rings was a good enough
motto in its day, but it is getting behind the
times. An engineer on an express going sixty
miles an hour has other things to think of be-
sides watching every cross-road for passing
teams; and carriages, on their side, need better
defense than the toot of whistle or the ding
dong Of a bell to warn them of a train rushing
upon them with almost the speed of sound.

of the most careful nursing In addition to all
this he proposes to assume the presidency of D
corporation with revenues far exceeding that OF
any other railroad in this country. with the sim
gle exception of the Pennsylvania, which finds
it necessary to employ large staff with the
best talent available. Mr. Corbin must possess
an unusual degree of self-confdence If he has
given much thought to the subject.
An old railroader of this State thinks it very
striking fact that the more the coal mines of the
State OF Indiana are developed, the greater the
coal is being shipped from the block coal mines
on the T. Ell. e. l. road than in any September
since the mines were opened; yet in this State.
the new mines whca have been opened in the
last five years have more than doubled the pro-
ducing capacity. but there is no surplus. 1t is
stated that Indiana s furnishing coal to ten
more railroads than five years ago. and to some
thirty more manufacturing towns From two
hundred and fifty to three hundred carloads of
block coal are shipped from Clay county, daily.
The prospect that freight traffic for some
months to come is to be heavy with Indiana
roads could hardly be more favorable The
farmers of the West and South have crops thst
pay for the first time in years. The railroads.
In all their history, have never been called upon
to handle such a vast traffic Illustrations of the
increased earnings of the railroads of the coun-
try were given last week. The same state of
things continues with but the one difference
that the percentage OF increase is even larger
now than then. The result is unprecedented.
The prosperity betokene3 reaches in every di-
rection, and one of the best features OF the
business moving is that so large per cent. Of it
is of local character and carried at good rates.

The Territory Well Occupied.
The report is revived that the Atchison, Tope-
ka 81 Santa Fe is to build q line to Chicago.
Some time ago surveys were suspended on pro-
posed line to Illinois because, 1t was said, the
Atchison had bought the charter to rake it
part of a line to Chicago, and it seems probable
that it is seriously considering such a project
1t certainly ought not to be necessary for that
company to build line some five hundred miles
long through country already very fully supplied
with railroads in order to get work done which
four or FIVE railroads already in operation are
tirely capable Of doing. It is much to be feared
that the multi lication of lines west of Chicago
will result In serious trouble before long
These companies now the most profitable
group Of lines in the country, counting by divi-
dends, but they cannot bear indefinite multipli-
cation without such subdivision of the traffic
of the country they serve as will reduce the
profits of some of them materially. These rail
roads are ia a country which has grown very
fast. but their earnings do not increase except
when they have made great additions to their
mileage, and though several pay as large divi-
dends now as ever. nearly all of them earned
very much larger profits per share of stock few
years ago than they do now.
Low Rates Cutting Down the Revenue.
II any may wonder why the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne 6 Chicago road. which formerly yielded
large profit over the rental lease last year
caused considerable loss, one may find, says the
Railroad Gazette, a sufficient explanation in the
fact that the profit per ton per mile was O. IA
cent last year, against 40 cent in 1880, and this
in spite of reduction of expenses per ton per
mile from O. 81 to IA cent. the average receipts
having fallen from 0.91 to 058 cent And in
passenger rates the decrease was similar, being
from g. l6 to &C. 1t is true that 1885 was an ex-
ceptionaly bad year for rates, especially passen-
ger rates, which had fallen like freight rates.
but were actually higher probably because of
the much smaller immigrant travel) in 1884 than
in 1880. The proft per passenger mile fell from
O 81 cent in 1884 to 0.47 in 1885 AZ per cent:
per ton mile, from OCT to O SO cent t13 1-3 per
cent The enormous freight traffic this road
yielded profit of less than 81, 800, 600, when
with the rate of profit of 1880 it would have
yielded more than So, 800,0 00

President ingalls, says that there is some shaw
ing or rates going on but it is by no means car
rie6 20 such an extent year ago, and every
day the situation is growing better He says
the rate-eutting roads are beginning TO see the
folly of working for tonnage regardless of rev.
enue and are gradually wheeling into line as
rate-mainta tanning roads This statement is sub
stantiated by the increase of earnings the roads
are showing. There have been many Septembers
when a larger tonnage was moving than this
year, yet the earnings when the movement was
so heavy did not show up so handsomely as at
the present time.
There is good authority for saying that Eugene

nl-feeling toward the c., Fl. 81 d. management
must be admitted. The interests of the roads
centering here are of too mutual character to
admit of anything hut harmonious relations in
handling the business at this point
Nearly all roads are now short of cars OF all
descriptions, more especially coal cars. and if
Ahe winter should chance to be a severe one. the
probabilities are that there will be insufficient
quantity OF anthracite coal in the West to sup
ply the demand. What is true with Indianapo-
lis ROADS Is true wish Northern lines. There
were shipped out of Chicago over the Western
roads during the month of August 49, 900 tons of
anthracite coal-about half the quantity that
would have been sent forward had the railroad
companies been able to supply cars. There was
scarcity OF rolling stock. however, aud the
companies were unable to comply with the de
mands of shippers.
