There is some talk among members OF the
Common Council about organizing telephone
service to be operated under the direction of the
city government, but the matter has assumed no
definite shape. In view Of this project Mr.. j. L.
Bay, the manager of the Southern Telephone
Company, which operates an exchange at Little
Rock, has prepared the following proposition,
which will be submitted to the Common Council
at its next meeting:
ITO the Honorable City Council and Board of Alder
men. indianapolis. Ind:
''rhe undersigned, in lew Of the very en-
barrassed and uncertain condition of the tele-
phone service in your city, believes that any
proposition to relieve the situation will be kindly
received and considered by your honorable
body and therefore respectfully calls your at
tention to the columns of the daily journal and
telephone matters, and more particularly
to that portion which relates to
the object of my visit to your city. also beg
leave to state that shall be abundantly prepared
to guarantee any contract that may make with
your city, or citizens, with the most substantial
endorsements Our company has been doing
almost the entire telephone business of Little
Rock, Ark, since October, 1885 Our instru-
ment has been patented in the face of all obiec-
tions and claims made by the Bell
of our instruments have been placed on an
eighteen mile test at Evansville with the
most satisfactory results. also further state
that, as far as we know, our company controls
the only telephone that has withstood the as
saults of the Bell company, and that 1t can be
purchased outright having no royalty whatever.
We are perfectly willing, at any time, to make
comparative test of long -distance or plain talk
ing with any of the various phones now being
brought to your city for trial or pat
ronage. Having heard that there was
probability of your city undertaking the man
agement of your telephone service, / have been
influenced by that fact TO address this commu-
nication to your honorable body, and which L
now respectfully submit to your consideration.
-. L. BAY,
General Manager and Director of the South
ern Telephone Company"
The County Commissioners yesterday ordered
the telephone company, by written notice. to take
their instruments out of the court house, Jail,
work-house and poor-farm, eleven instruments
in all.

the Central Traffic Association il seeking TO i'm
pose upon Cleveland, 1t would undoubtedly lose
even this little through business, because the
road is not allowed to make close connections at

often been made that the Nickel-plate cannot be

is noticeable, however, that other roads, con-

CHICAGO April 8.-Orders were received here
this evening to advance the rates by the Atch-
ison. Topeka & Santa Fe from Kansas City to
San Francisco, for frstclass limited, from SIS to
49, making the rate from this city $2l 80 instead
of $14.50. The round-trip rate is thus advanced
TO $43. The $57 round-trip rate, good for thirty
days, and the $94 round-trip rate, good for six
months. will remain in fierce. The second-cIass
rate from Kansas City is advanced to 81, making
the rate from Chicago $l4 The Santa Fe says
it is compelled to make this advance solely ow-
ing to their inability to care for any more travel
than is already coming to the road, owing to the
former low rate for limited tickets.

Unfortunate for Business Generally.

Unfortunate for Business Generally.
1t seems very unfortunate that the labor troub-
les and high water, which have SO much dam
present time, a. prior to these troubles the
skies were bright for the roads, and
g prosperous year was confidently expected,
which meant prosperity Tor the business interests
of the country generally. The January, Feb
ruary and early March earnings OF IndiAnap-
oils roads were highly satisfactory, and promised
to continue so to be through the entire year.
The roads ont Of Chicago, or majority of them,
made satisfactory showing down to the end of
March. In the meantime what is the result
shown by such Of the trunk roads as make
weekly or monthly reportsa The Erie railway
1885 of 1885, 023 gross and 1928, 430 net The
Pennsylvania railroad, east OF Pittsburg.. shows
for the same months q gain of $617, 789 gross and
$398, 0S2 net. while its entire system shows q gain
of $414, Ais net, and the Grand Trunk, of Canada,
the northern competitor of the Vanderbilt
system, Allows ~so "a an increase IN gross
period from Jan. l to March 20, and on
the very ground where the strikes were inaugu-
rated the roads were in the height of prosperity
The receivers of the Texas e Pacific railroad
have reported the earnings of that road for Janu-
airy and February, with comparison with 1855
service which has not been rendered for the
roads of that system for couple of years past.
The Texas & Pacific gross earnings show an in
crease of $87 900 for January and of $125 700 for
January and February, the gain being about 20
per cent for January and II per cent for the
two months. The Missouri Pacific earnings were
equally favorable. This is the kind of business
which the strikers have interrupted.

Mr.. Holland and the C. H. d ID. r. II. Company.
TO the Editor of tho indianapolis Journal:
My attention has just been called to an article
which appeared in your issue Of March Is, in
regard to the Julietta bridge accident on the G.,
Fl. g T. railroad, in which the engineer Mr.. G.
A. Holland, was badly injured. After stating
the fact that Mr. Holland had sued the company
for $50 900 damages, it goes on to say that the
railroad company paid all his surgeons bills and
even household expenses. and Mr.. Holland re-
paid all this kindness with lawsuit which
would be very unkind in Mr. Holland if the
case as stated was true But the fact is, the c.,
FL. g d. Railroad Company has not paid doctor
bill. nurse bill, drugstore bill, household BILL or
any other bill, to this day, and the party that
furnished or inspired the article knows it. At
the time the accident occurred in which Mr.
Holland was injured 1.-THE 18th of last Novem-
ber), the c., H. e. d. officers seemed very
anxious, and particularly requested that all bills
be sent to them for payment; but to this, the
9th day of April NEARLY five months), not
penny have they paid, and the prospect is not
very fattering that they will ever pay. Is this
such kindness to an injured employee as to de-
serve grateful mention9 Please publish this in
justice to Mr. Holland and Others FIX.

Encouraging to the Legal Fraternity.

One of the most prominent railroad attorneys
of this country remarked yesterday to Jour
nal representative that with the exception Of
New York and the New England States, 90 per
cent. of the railroad mileage in the country must
necessarily pass through bankruptcy sooner or
later, so heavy are their bonded debts. He
knew of but few roads in the West, the North
west and Southwest which were nor bonded for
double the real worth, and in many cases treble
what it would cost to parallel or did cost to
build these roads He said 'that under the
most favorable conditions these roads could not
continue to run and pay the interest on SO
heavy bonded Indebtedness. The tendency
was to lower passenger and to lower freight
rates, and the business of the railroads did not
increase IN proportion to the reduction in rates
from year to year, consequently the revenue
each year shows a steady falling off, In
years past this decrease in revenue had been
partially met by reducing the wages of the en-
ployes, and the last year or two by expanding as
little money in improving road-beds and equip
ments as the case would admit, but the bot
tom has been reached in these direc-
tions and deficits would needs be met
from other sources, either through refunding
schemes some character of reorganization
through which bonded debts could be cut down
nearer to the real valuation of the property.
This means, in most cases. bankruptcy. AS nine
ty- nine out of one hundred of the first mortgage
bondholders bid in the property at foreclosure
sales they suffer no real loss except the court
than met in q majority of cases by the road
freeing itself from old claims which were in dis
pute, or, in other words the road starts off wit
b clean record.

A Good Time to wipe Ont Old Scores.

Good Time to Wipe Ont Old Scores.
Now let there be no more quarrelng among
the local passenger agents. Under the new traf
fc agreement Indianapolis has an auxiliary
association, with Mr. Doherty, pool commission
err as chairman. He holds money in his hands
to pay the fine of any agent who has cut rates,
it it be fairly proven on him. IT an agent of
the Bee-line has evidence that an l., B. e. w.
agent has cut q rate, turn 1t over to Chairman
Doherty to investigate and fix the penalty. If
the l., B. & w. has evidence that the Pennsyl-
vania lines are cutting rates, give such
evidence to Mr.. Doherty-not cut rate
to meet it. This is good time to wipe out old
scores and begin anew. The railroads badly
need all the revenue which can be secured, and
evidently there is determination to put stop
to rate-cutting at Indianapolis. Another point
in this matter-it is as much cutting rates to
work through scalper as for an agent to make
direct cut 1t was alleged, yesterday, that
two roads had braced up rates at their local
Offices and turned lot of tickets over to
scalper. Turn the evidence over to Mr.. Doherty,
he will sift 1t to the bottom. He has taken hold
of this matter in earnest.
