Overwhelming Kindness.

One Of the most touching instance Of
gratitude is alleged to have occurred in
the country the other day. A little boy
the child of wealthy mother, tumbled
into the river. lie was rescued by a
working man and restored to his broken
hearted parent. The woman gave the
man a penny postage stamp, and said
she would be glad to have him come up
to her house aud sit out in the entry and
hear her play the piano. He went away
with tears in his eyes. He said he WASH {

DISCRIMINATION IN FREIGHT RATES.
An Unfair Tariff Which Seriously Affects In
dianapOiis Manufacturers and Shippers.

A meeting of the manufacturers and shippers
OF the ety will be held this evening at the rooms
of the Board of Trade for the purpose of con-
siderins matter of much importance to the
business interests of Indianapolis. The ship
ping committee of the Board of Trade recently
instituted an investigation which has disclosed
that the tariffs of the Southwestern Railway
Association, the headquarters of which are at
Chicago. unjustly discriminate against Indian
apolis merchants and manufacturers. They fnd
that through rates between Indianapolis and
the Southwesterns points on the Missouri river
are made by adding to the associations rates
current to and from ST. Louis the regular or
special rates current between Indianapolis and
East St Louis The question recently raised by
the transportation committee of the st. Louis
Exchange regarding the adoption of mileage as
basis for Missouri river rates to and from St
Louis and Chicago, therefore, becomes one of
great Importance to every merchant and manu-
facturer of Indianapolis handling goods con-
sumed or produced west of the Missouri river.
The present through rate between Indianapolis
and Kansas City, ST. Joseph, Leavenworth and
Atchison, is ST. Is to each point while between
Indianapolis and Kansas City it should be 96a
cents, St Joseph. 81. 06; Leavenworth. 80 cents,
and Atchison, l.05a. It was also found that
the Kansas City overeharges exist in through
Idsco OobW0ou AuuthIhpouS anu hik poiHVc Az
Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New
Mexico. The tariffs are, it is claimed, extremely
unfair.
1t is said that every manufacturer of Indi-
annapolis has more or less trade and west OF the
Missouri river, and in selling goods comes in d.
rect competition with the manufacturers of ST.
Louis, Chicago and other points. The discrim-
ination In freight rates. therefore, is very i'm
portant matter to them Furniture and agricult-
ural implement shippers have to sacrifice from
$l3 to 1850 on every carload which is quite
sufficient to turn the trade from them.
communication has been addressed to j. M.
Ridgeway. commissioner Of the Southwestern
Railway Association, urging the adoption of the
mileage basis of freight rates, and reasons are
given at considerable length for REIMBURSEMENT
of the present discriminating tariff The inter
ests of Indianapolis are not alone involved. but
also those of Evansville, Terre Haute. Madison,
Jeffersonville, New Albany, Richmond. Corners
vile, Lawrenceburg and every other manufact-
uring point in Indiana, as we'll as in ueighboring
States.

Worthy of Cordial Support.

The circular addressed to general passenger
agents by e. A. Ford, which initiates move
ment to bring about better maintenance of
rates, is favorably commented on in passenger
mems circles. as it shows Mr. Ford to be really in

worthy of cordial support. The Chicago Inter

of the subject with which he intends to deaf. and
with the differences in the way of settlement
that may be considered permanent All the men
who have received copies of the above call fully

sphere of passenger business and know very

The increase in earnings will be very

Here is one of the instances whore railroads
have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by
a reform movement Some time ago such q
scheme was planned. and the reform put in eff
feet but 1t proved of short duration, because it
was quickly discovered that or two Of the
interested roads, who had agreed to pursue a
different course, were not sincere, and pursued
their old tactics. Meanwhile. if Mr.. Ford fully
appreciates the situation, he will institute re-
form in passenger matters little nearer home.
There is every reason for instituting such a re-
form movement here, and none for overlooking
the demoralizing influences here"

Increasing Their Facilities.

The Pullman Palace-car Company has pur-
chased the works of the Dure Car Manufacturing
Company, in East Wilmington, the deed, which
was fled for record, giving the considera-
ton at $4,000. 1t is the intention of the pur-
chasers to enlarge and extend the works and
utilize them as the Eastern headquarters for re-
pairs. The purchase was made necessary imme-
diatcly, because Of the Pullman company's lease
on its shops at Elmira, N. Y, having expired
and its inability to effect new one. Immediate
possession was given and Thomas w Bowers, a
former member of the firm of Bowers & Dure
which formerly operated the works. was ap-

will have its new works in fu, operation in about
six weeks when it is expected that about 600
men will be given constant employment
