GOOD BUSINESS PRINCIPLE.-A lady
in this city recently received. in the alb
sence of her husband, an application to
rent a store-rOom for auction sales of
dry goods, clothing, etc. The gentle
man came well recommended, and
offered good rent for thirty days more
or less. As the pay was good and the
business not Objectionable, why not
rent rather than have the room vacant?
The lady after considering the matter
a while declined the offer, and gave the
following excellent reason for her de-
cision. THAT man, said she, .pays
mo taxes in this town He wanted to
come here and undersell our merchants
who are taxpayers, and carry the money
away and spend it elsewhere. do not

cnants.' That is a Uonlan's reason.

A Conference Regarding the Aid for the New
Depot Project Expected from the City.

AT the water works Office. yesterday afternoon,
V. L. Malott. vice president Of the Union Rail-
way Company, and fifteen or twenty citizens
among whom were Mayor Denny, r.
s. Mckee. Nicholas McCarty and several
'councilmen-had conference about the new
Union Depot project. Mr. Malott is to go East
to-day and consult with the directors of the rail
way company in reference to the building and
the preliminaries thereto. 1t is proposed to be-
gin the work this coming spring. he said, but
before this is done the company is anxious
to know what the city will do in certain
emergencies 1t will be necessary to have more
room in the present locality The company is
not bound to build there, but it is preferable to
any place suggested east of Pogue's run. But
the additional space where the old building
stands must come from a half square of the
Spencer House location or from the Coburn
undergrad. Again, it would be necessary
to vacate Louisiana street. and in that event the
company would agree to make a street around
the new depot This, in general, expresses Mr..
Malotts sentiments as to what would be ex-
pected Of the city in the way of condemnation
He was assured that Council would do anything
reasonable and not unjust to property owners

An Objectionable Lease.

The directors of the German School-verein,
owner of the building on Maryland street occu-
pied! by the Social Turn-yerein, has given a
twenty-five years lease to the latter society on
condition that the lessee pays the debt on the
property and grants the Industrial and Free
Sunday school gratuitous use of certain rooms
It is also required that the Turn-verein shall
build hall on the rear lot. There is consider
able opposition to this grant, and it will probably
end in litigation.

Making q Bad Start.

With the improvement in business the local
passenger agents have whetted up their rate cut
ting knives and show disposition to apply
them vigorously to parties who ask for rates,
more especially on west-bound business. If the
passenger agents would stop with the cutting of
passenger rates it would seem more reasonable
but they will not. They go so far as to promise
cut rates on shipments Of household goods live
stock. etc. One passenger agent it is stated,
went so far yesterday as to say if they would buy
tickets over his line they would carry their goods
at the arbitrary rates made by the roads
west of the river. Were freight agents as
as jealous of their official positions as are pas
senger men they would soon check passenger
agents up when they go so far as to name freight
as well as passenger rates AS there is a good
business now in prospect it might be we'll for the
general managers and superintendent of West
err lines to bring together their general freight
and passenger agents for conference regarding
the demoralized condition of both freight and
passenger rates from Indianapolis to the West
and Northwest If the matter at once receives
attention the roads east of the river may receive
some revenue from their March, April and May
business
