bodies and filing the lungs of the imprisoned
passengers, who, in their distress, fright and
agony, beat their hands and heads against
the thick plate-glass windows in their mad

About Excursion Rates.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The agreement of the
Central Traffic lines to make no reduced
rates on account of harvester or home-seeker
excursions is in danger of being smashed by
the same influence that worked It's ruin last
year. It transpires that the Lake Erie d
Western, Ohio d Mississippi and other roads
from Cincinnati and Indianapolis have de-
cided to adopt these excursion rates to east
ern points by way of st. Louis. The Penn
sylvanla and Big Four will apparently be
forced to meet the competition by way of
St. Louis, and the "Monon'' will no doubt
find it necessary to protect itself by making
the same rates by way of Chicago. 1t is
thought the movement will spread until it
involves the entire territory of the Central
Traffic association.
