If the general passenger agents will turn their
that territory. they will find that passenger
rates are much more demoralized in that acc ton
than at Indianapolis. Rates were made last
week at Caldwell, o., to Western points that
left practically nothing for the reads carrying
the passengers this side of the Missouri river.
1t is stated that r. C. Diehl. general freight
agent of the Ohio. Indiana g Western road,
contemplates rendering his resignation, ii he has
not already done so, to accept position on a
much more important road than the o.. i. 81 w.
But few men in the freight service stands higher
than does Mr.. Dehl, and it.has been a surprise
that he so long has occupied the position, when
80 much more inviting fields were open TO him.
The general passenger agents who returned
Saturday from the meeting held Friday in
Columbus report that the session was far from
harmonious one. Some remarks were made re-
garding rate matters and rate-cuttng which had
Oe60 better un9aiQ. T00 me6Glng was cAl01 TO
fix rates to the Grand Army or the Republic
gathering, in Columbus, but it drifted into other
matters and ended with but little accomplished.
With the new time schedule, which is soon to
take effect on the Bee-line. several important
changes are to be made Train No. 10, going

which leaves Indianapolis at 800 P. N. and runs

will be run direct to Cleveland over the Bee

business between this city and Dayton over the
Dayton g. Union road.
There was received and forwarded at Indian
polls, in the month OF FEBRUARY, total of 81, 500
cars of which number s. 887 were loaded cars,
against total of 088 cars, of which number
3d. 439 were loaded cars. IN the corresponding
week of 1887. From this statementit will be seen
that the business of this year notwithstanding all
the complaining has exceeded that of FEBRUARY,
1887 1t is noticeable that the increase over last
year all made in the first two weeks OF the
month. the last half of the month the car move
m emit dropping off sharply.

RAILWAY NEWS AND NOTES

The universal" classification committee, as
it is now called, convenes at Chicago. to morrow.
70 establish uniform classification from ocean
TO ocean and from the lakes to the gulf The
meeting viii be attended by representatives OF
the roads from all parts of the country, in addi-
zion to members of the committees. Some
months ago this plan was taken up by the ROADS
north of the Ohio river. and general classinca-
ton was adopted and has for the last re"
months been enforced with gratifying results
The coming nesting is an outgrowth OF this
movement the part of the roads 10 this terri
tory. At present there are about ten dlHeTent
clAssifcations In force in various parts OF the
United States, and 1t is therefore very difncult
in many cases to make accurate through rates
Some experienced railroad men fear that the
decreasingBf the complications growing out or
the large number of classifcations now in use
will tend 10 increase the propensity OF some or
the lines for cutting rates; especially is it
feared that this will be the case with the trans
ronfi4Qn Al lines.

Freight Buslness sem Light.

The train records show that freight traffic is
down TO the minimum point In the week end
ing March there were 1913 fewer loaded cars
received and forwarded at Indianapolis than in
the preceding week, S04 fewer than in the CORE
spending week 1887 and 54S less number than in
1856; and when compared with the movement of
the corresponding week of 1885 there were 4, 19l
fewer loaded cars handled at this point The
eastb3und shipments Of grain, lumber, live
stock and export freights haye not in the last
ten years been so light in early March as this
year. Freight men are hoping that the reduc-
ton in east-bound rates. which takes effect to-
day, will increase east bound shipments. West
bound the tonnage never great at this
season Of the year as at the present time.
The Decline brought west PIT more
oaded cars than it forwarded
the Chicago, St. Louis 6 Pittsburg PAL more,
and the same RATIO is shown with all the lines
which handle through west bound business.
The tonnage is made up almost entirely of high
class freight, the west-bound shipments OF an
fhraciss coal, coke and railroad supplies falling
considerable below those of the corresponding
period 1881 North-and-south roads are carry
ing average tonnage with that of the CORE
spending period In former years. The fact is
that with north and-south roads from year to
year the volume of business is even and
better understood than with east and-wesr
throug h lines Local business is little off muddy
country roads making il almost impossible for
the shippers country stations to reach the
railroads with their grain, produce, lumber or
even live stock The light movement of cars
last week as compared with the corresponding
week 1885 needs a little explanation The heavy
movement was that of cars which had been de-
tanned by a snow blockade, aud, further, the fact
that east-bound rates were then badly democrat
lied. Below is given the number of cars re-
ceived end forwarded at this point in the week
ending March g. as compared with the CORE
spending weeks 1887 and 1886:

Rraar tn tho southern Assoclation.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 1.-Two years ago
the Louisvl le e. Nashville, the Illinois Central,
the Northeastern q Mississippi Valley railroad
companies agreed upon q tariff OF rates. and
also agreed that no ne of the roads should grant
a SPECIAL rate without first obtaining the consent
Of the other roads in the compact This
agreement had been carried out
until the Northeast ern company put
on fast Cincinnati train, which made the
run in twenty-si hours, but yesterday il was re-
ported in railroad circles that the compact,
which Is styled 'iron-cladn had been broken.
and that break had also occurred in the South
ern Passenger Agents Association, the North
western having notified the association, through
General Freight and Passenger Agent Calebran,
of its withdrawal 1t was reported that the
reason of the withdrawal grew out of
the following facts: The Louisville 81
Nashville demanded the privilege of
reduced rate to Cincinnati, in order to equalize
rates. because the Northeastern line is shorter
and can make faster time to Cincinnati. The
Northeastern objected, and the matter was re-
ferred to the arbitration committee of the
Southern Passenger Agents Association for adj
justment. When the Northeastern found that
the decision would be adverse TO it, notice
at once given that it would withdraw from the
association on March D.

Two colors can be counted on for Eas-

exactly the colors one sees on a wild crab
apple tree in the month of June. The
frame, which is small, with medium
sized brin, pointed in front, is covered
with apple green silk, delicately ribbed.
The facing is Of bright crab-apple pink |
silk, and the strings, which are about two
inches wide with satin edges, are of the
same color A wreath of small double !
roses Of the pink, nearly circles the bon
net. In another instance the apple-green
is used with red with charming effect. |
The silk with which the frame is covered
is of changeable silk, with red for the

strings are Of green, the velvet peoples of |
