A RAILROAD WAR.
The Passenger Agreement Broken and
Tickets Cheaper.

ItCkeIS (HcdpcEs
A railroad rate war seems to be imm!-
nent, and it is all on account of couple OF
transcontinental lines having been caught
selling Chicago tickets through scaipers and
brokers and allowing them commissions,
contrary to an agreement made by all the
lines in November last. The agreement
was entered into by all the railways doing
business in California, and 1t was to the
effect that no com missions should be paid
any agent for selling tickets.
The agents Of the Burlington and the
Union Pacific are the ones who are alleged
10 have broken the agreement and to have
cut Rates from So to 81 on each Chicago
ticket sold through the medium of scalpers.
The matter came 10 a blood heat yeSter-
day when Clinton Jones, general agent OF
the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
way received a dispatch from the general
passenger agent OF the ROAD, stating that he
had served notice upon the Southern Paclhc
and the Southern California Railway Off
Gals that his line would withdraw from the
Pacific Coast passenger agreement at the
expiration OF ten days. This will start the
ball rolling and a general scaplng war will
most likely be the outcome. Chicago tickets
for the fair will soon be in great demand,
and passenger men say that with the agree
ment broken. tickets from California to the
fair Will go away down with all the COM
peting lines in the race for business.

one of thousands completely cured by the
CUTICURA REMEDIES of torturing and
disfgurlng skin disease, after many doctors
and remedies had wholly failed. The mar

are literally on fire with itching and burn
ing eczemas, and other itching scaly,
blotchy and pimply skin aud scalp diseases.

COMMUNICATES.
ST. MARY's COUNTY, Aug, z, '93.

Messrs Editors On the Bird, instant it
was my unlimited pleasure To attend pic
mic, given by Mr. and Mrs. z. II. Posey in
honor of their neice aud guest Miss Viola
CLANCY. On point of land almost sur
rounded by the waters of Cat Creek on the
one side and those of the Patuxent River
on the other, the crowd assembled. In
this enchanted place, where nature had
showered her beauties with lavish hand,
and where the melodious Strains of music
produced by Neptune's vassals fell upon
the enraptured ear, 1t was the privilege of
those present TO enjoy themselves to their
hearts content
The crowd, though not so large as was
expected, was, nevertheless, large enough
for good company, and the perfect beauty
of the.day, together with the untiring efforts
of Mr.. and Mrs. Posey, rendered the affair,
one of the most enjoyable that it las been
the lot of your correspondent TO attend.
After basking in the smiles and charms
of each otLer's company for quite time,
we repaired at length TO the banquet table
whose, beauty, as it appeared set with 9
good many delicacies of the season, was
only surpassed by the rusticity of the sur
roundings.
After we had done full justice TO the
sumptGous repast, there was an Invitation
extended TO the company, for sail on the
placid bosom of the fair Paiuxent, whose
beautiful scenery afforded most pleasing
spectacle to the human eye. With pilot
who was thoroughly conversant with his
business, and who had splendid corps of
assistants, there was nothing 20 mar the
pleasure of the occasion. When we had
disembarked, one couple, we noticed, soon
fund sequestered spot little aloof from
the rest of the company, and there with
the sound of the ''sad sea-waves' coming
to them from either side. they presented to
us countenance that suggested the express
SIGN:
"Thy fatal shafts unerring more.
/ bow before thine altar, Love-"
Thus, was spent the day that proved to
be such halcyon one TO those, who were
present, and just before the time when the
curtains Of night should be pinned back
by the stars the party dispersed for their
respective homes, with hearts swelling with
gratitude for those who spared neither
pains nor trouble % make the affair sue
cess.
