WESTERN PASSENGER RATES.
1t Seems Certain That tho Agreement VIII
Be Adopted This Week.

CHICAGO. Juno 5.-The first business Of tho
passenger representatives Of Western lines
to-day was to take an informal vote on tho
adoption Of the revised Western Passenger
Association agreement 1t resulted in o unan-
imous vote in favor Of its abortion. The
reason formal vote was not taken and the
long agony ended at once was that several
slight additions and changes in the agreement
must be made before 1t is satisfactory to all
the lines.
The opinion was general that the agreement
would he finally adopted within three days.
No doubt whatever is expressed that 1t will be
ultimately adopted. The lines which favor cd
further changes In the agreement were tho

Two Farmers WayIaid by Footpads Near
Brouxdale


Joseph Schwab, who has q dairy farm In
Bronxdale. had 5000 in his pockets when he
started to drive homo on Saturday evening.
Between West Farms and Bron1dale the road
runs through a wild strip OF country. with the
Bronx River to the east and woods and shrub
berry on both sides. Schwab had traversed
half tho distance when three burly negroes
spranE out upon the road. Ono OF them
grabbed the horses heads while the other
two. who were armed with clubs. demanded
SchWab's money. One Of the men began
clam ering I'D on the wagon to enforce his
demand.
schwab. while pretending to be searching
his pocket for the money, reached back In the
wagon and grabbed heavy shovel which he
brought down on the b. cad Of the negro who
was standing on the wheel hub. The fellow
rolled of into the roadway. and Schwab turned
to the other highwayman. who was trying to
climb into the wagon from the opposite side.
He struck him with the shovel. whereupon all
three Of the negroes fed into tho woods.
Last week another gardener named YETI
was attacked by three robbers on the West
Farms. They dragged him of his wagon. and
would have got his money had they not been
frightened of BY tho approach Of some men
who had heard Vetz's cries.
