THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Coun cilmen Think the McNeal Ordinance
Should Be Carefully Considered.

There were hut seventeen members OF the
Council present at last nights meeting OF that
body, called to consider the ordinance giving the
aMcNeal syndicate q charter to construct ana
operate an electric street railway on the South
Side. The report OF the committee on railroads
from the Board of Aldermen, recommending TO
it's body the passage Of the ordinance, was read.
Councilman Dsrnell moved that it be tabled
but his motion was lost by q vote of eight to
nine, as follows: Yeas-Burns, Darnell. Davis,
Dunn, Finch, Kelly, Pearson, Thalman. Nays
Cummings. Casper. Gaul, Hicklin, Johnston.
Marley, O'Counor. Smith and Trusler. Council
man Finch then moved that the ordinance %
referred to . special committee, including the
city attorney, with instructions TO report at an
other special meeting to be held next Monday
night, and upon his motion there was . gen.
eral debate.
Councilman Thalman said he did not be-
lieve this or any other company should
be allowed to come TO Indianapolis and erect
poles, and string wires overhead. He was
not in favor of letting in any other railway
companies unless he was satisfied they would
give good service. He would be in favor OF the
ordinance if it provided for o storage battery 10
stead of hanging wires.
Councilman Cummings objected to any fur
Their postponement Of the ordinance. The citi-
zeus Of the South Side were complaining that
they had not adequate streetcar faculties, ana
he thought they should be no longer neglected.
The company was ready to begin work, and
would, If tho charter was granted, attempt to
complete the road this fall.
Mayor Denny took tho floor, and very strongly
opposed hasty action. In the first place, he
thought the ordinance should 60 to some com
mittee and the city attorney. and
that that officer should be requested
to deliver to the Council the essence
Of Judge Taylor's opinion with references
to the street railway company recently decided.
He understood that the opinion gave the Citi-
Zens' company q superior, IL not an exclusive
right TO the streets, and the members OF the
Council should have . full understanding of the
opinion. II seemed that the Council was about
to pass something that might be illegal. He
gave his opinion Of an electric road he had seen
at Port Huron, Mich. and thought IL Indianapo-
lis could not get q better system than the one IN
use there it ought not to have any. The baz-
ard of life was the most serious question. and
he also cited the fact that q good watch he car
ried had been completely ruined by riding over
the road.
After some further discussion the motion OF
Councilman Finch, that the ordinance be re-
ferrsd to . special committee, prevailed. The
committee consists of Councilmen Finch, Kelly
and Dunn.
The only other business transacted was the
passage Of al ordinance requiring all incan-
descent electric light companies hereafter en-
barking in business in the city TO place their
wires all under ground.

that Senator Edmunds was responsible for the
whole trouble. Laughter
Mr.. McKenna said that in fairness to the
chairman of the committee on enrolled bills he
would state that Mr.. Morrow himself had gone
TO Mr.. KiIgore this morning and told him that
the Edmunds resolution had been tabled, aud
Dir. Morrow asked him about transmitting the
bin to the President. Mr.. Kilgore said he
would do his duty in this regard. That might
or might not be an evasive answer. Lest il
might be an svasive answer, the resolution had
been offered.
Dir. McMillin-After he told you he would do
bis duty?
Dir. McKenns-There is q way to say II will
do it, without exactly meaning that il would be
done.
Mr.. McMillin remarked that that might DO
the way in California, but it was pot the way IN
Tenuessee.
Mr.. McKenna-If the e@tleman means to
make any contrast between what is gentlemanly
in Tennessee and what is eentIemauly in Cali
fornis, II he comes ont to California we will
give him evidence OF as nice sentiment las he
ever came in contect with in his life.
After further debate the Speaker pro tenn.
sustained the point of order; 30 the resolution
was not received, and the House adjourned.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Did an Immense business.

Some idea Of the volume Of business done by
the roa1s running into Columbus, o., during
the encampment Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public may be gathered from a few items given
to 3 reporter of the Journal by John +. Miller,
general superintendent of the Pennsylvania
Company. This road fitted up one of its freight
depots, 365 feet long by 50 feet wide. for q bag
gage-room, and another building which had been
used for q cold storage house that would hold
l50 carloads of baggage. They soon found that
this would not be sufficient, and were compelled
to rent a building 250 feet long by so feet wide.
and still another 100 feet long by % feet wide. All
these buildings were near the tracks in their
yards, and for three days were full of baggage.
In one forenoon 150 carloads OF bag
gage were handled. The company employed
for baggaeemasters 200 men. and kept one en-
CINE and train crew busy day and night shifting
baggage-cars. Everything was arranged in such
q systematic manner that il a person wanted his
trunk all he had to do was to name the point
from which il was shipped, and he would be re-
ferred to the building whore baggage from the
initial line could be found. In the buildings the
baggage was so arranged that the baggaeemas-
ters could walk along aud from the checks,
which were placed in front, readily select the
trunk he was seeking. Yesterday there were
several hundred trunks which had not been
called for, bnt IL is expected that all will disap-
pear before the week is out.

The Passenger Rate war Extending.

E. A. Ford. passenger agent of the Pennsylva-
mia lines, shows q disposition to cut rates in all
directions. Yesterday he instructed agents to
reduce the rates about 60 per cent. between In
dianapolis and Columbus, Indianapolis and
Cleveland, indianapolis and ST. Louis, and a
similar reduction lie ordered on their lines out of
Cincinnati, as does ID. Il. Martin, the general
passenger agent of the Decline. Mr.. Ford init
mates that he means business. but neither gen.
eral passenger agent assigns a reason for the
present unexpected and extended rate cutting.
There 10 but one reason that appears on tho
surface; that 10 that the scalpers have loaded up
with excursion rate tickets for all points that
the reduction covers, and the roads are deter
mined to make It q losing game to the %scalpers.
A straw showing that there Is something in this
suggestion 10 shown Ia the fact that one OF the
s~calpers who visited Columbus and made large
purchases got wind Of what the Pennsylvania
and the Bee-line were to do and slipped over TO
Columbus and let some friends dispose OK bis
holdings 20 parties who were not posted. Al
