railroad men out Of work.
The rnmors are correct. and it Is gener-
ally believed that = number Of trains on
the Pennsvlvania Railresd, NJ least, and
probably on the Central and Morris and

MATTER FREELY DISCUSSED.
At the Markst Ssre.s sta i'm Ihls morn
ing the matter OF taxing OF Lhess trains
was freely discussed. While nothing in
the way of official notice has been res
ceivei, yet the men thsre say that the
affair is well kuown among railroad men
aud there is scarcely any doubt of its
trutnfulness. At The Office of the Penn
sylyania Office in this city 1t was said that
there had been nothing authentic re-
crived there. but Que or the clerks in the
office said that he had heard the story aud
knew that 1t was com nou property
among the msn In the transportation de-
partment.
Thomas c. Barr, who was asked about
the matter by a reports, said: II have
ne card absolutely nothing about It.. l
dou't know whsther theirs Is q y truth In
it or not. think, though, that IL would
be rather unwise 10 publish anything
about 1t as ret. IL (. Is true, whv not
wait and LEI that matter adjust Itself and
then print it,"
1t is said that q new line will bs open
for traffic by January / next. The cars
will run on a schedule of a few minutes
Roadway. There is a feeling among some
of the men whe work Ia Newark and
resids on jersey City Hsi9nts that ii this
Consolidated will make tue fare from the
courthouse 10 JeFB6y GlbI delkuLS uve
cents, aud then make the fare to the ferry
I'VE cents extra, the same as is now
charged by the Jersey City Traction lines
the company would get considerable
traffic.
An old time railroad man said this
morning: Il can't see whsrs 1t will
come in. AS / understand il these slsc-
tic road people will charge tan cents
each way. That makes the cost Of the
round trip from Newark TO Jersey City
twenty cents, doesn't ii? Now, do you
suppose that our CO npauy is going TO
carry their passengers across the river for
nothing? Well, hardly. They'll pay
three cents eacn way. and that Will make
tho round trip TO New YORK cost twsnty-
six cents. IN other words. the "trip from
Newark to New York and return will
cost more aud take longer. and tnsn che
'Penusy' isn't going TO arrange its ferry
schedule to please its COM etitors,
either"
