Mrs. William Willard. who was one of the
first teachers Of deaf mutes in Indiana. died
yesterday morning at her home No. 85S East
Washington street, at the age Of sixty-eight
years. after lingering illness of several months.
With her husband she came to indianapolis in
1843, and. together, they organized school for
mutes. which afterward developed into the pres
emit State institution for the education of the
deaf and dumb. Although her connection with
the school as matron ended after it had been
chartered by the State. her husband continued
with the institution until 1860. her life was one
of uncommon usefulness in benevolent educa
tional work Besides her husband, four daugh.
ters survive her death. These are Mrs. j. A.
Iliff and Mrs. NJ w. Hightsnoe, of this city;
Mrs. Mary j. Fontaine, of Louisville and Mrs.
0. p. Roots, of Florida The last named has

Killed by Strikers.

The Detroit Free Press says the Detroit loco
motive works have been killed by strikers.
Thirty-four years ago a number of prominent
Detroit capitalists organized the Detroit loco
motive works and erected the building ON Third
street. between Congress and Larned. The cash
capital paid in was aquarter of a million dollars.
The shop began with about 100 men, but has at
times employed nearly 500.at once. 1t was also
one of the first to ADVANCE wages when the war
increased prices. Up to last June the works had
paid ont to the mechanics, of Detroit
over $1,000, 600 in cash. For the first
/ twelve years the stockholders steadily
sunk money, but not once in that time were the
wages of the men cut down. In all che thirty
four yeas not single stockholder has made
enough money to buy him pair of boots On
the contrary his dead loss has been fully 20 per
cent of what he put in. There have been in ali
over twenty strikes, and last June, realizing that
the great shops could only be run at loss, as Ia
Dor matters are now it was decided to shut
them down. There was still kindly feeling to-
ward the men, and when they proposed to take
the shop and run it, they were given the chance.
The Press says the history of the locomotive
works is the history of three or four other great
corporations there which are ON the verge of
closing and locking the DOORS

Where the Short Lines Suffer.
The greatest problem In rail transportations Is
to fix rates which will pay something to roads
on through business which are not. so to speak,
a part of either of the trunk-line systems The
/, ID. g. S. IL an example, The adjustment Of
rates on tho principle of the longer the haul the
lower the price per mile seems entirely fair, but
even this may be made to work injustice to the
short interior lines. While tho l., D. & s. does
prorate with its Eastern connections, there is
little money in it to the company. The Pennsyl-
vania lines may prorate with the l., ID. & s. and
treat them very honorably, yet the earnings OF
the road on its through business 60 but little
way in swelling the net receipts. The Wander
bilt lines may, from the immense tonnage car
ried, move trains at certain low rate that re-
turns to them o small profit, while the prorate
to local connecting line would, from the lesser
tonnage moved, result in decided loss. This is
exemplified by the prosperity which, until re-
Gently. has attended the trunk lines. and the
financial struggles of many Of the local roads of
Ohio, Indiana end Illinois. The local roads in
these States are well located, and generally cover
territory of more than average productiveness.
yet but few pay dividends upon their capital
against financial adversely, as has the l., d. q
s., the L., e. g. W., and even roads
of much larger pretensions. There is proba.
bility that 15-cents- per -one-hundred- pound
rate on gram from Cnicago may yieIo snah
profit to the trunk roads, while rate based on
three times the amount of this charge per mile
interior shor. line might result in decided
loss. When rates are made by the trunk lines,
however low, q prorate which results to them In
positive loss, is forced upon the short connecting
roads. From this il will be seen that under the
best Of management a short line has struggle
to keep its head above water If through business
forms an important part OF its traffic. Pools make
steady rates and prevent rivalry. but thus far no
pool has been contrived that prevents discrimia
ton against weak lines OF railroad.
