Two Property Owners Trouble with
Railroad.

Judge Baker heard a contempt case in
chambers late Monday evening. Two prop
erty owners named Rohm residing in Clay
county, tore up a piece of track of the
Fort Wayne, Terre Haute & Southwestern
railroad. They claimed to have received
the right to do this by a sheriffs sale, the
men purchasing some ground which COW
cred the right-of-way of the road The
two men employed Maxwell & McFadden,
attorneys, to bring suit to prevent Re-
ceiver WEIGH from entering on the land.
Judge White, of the Pike Circuit Court,
issued a restraining order. which was
served on the receiver Receiver WEIGH
filed an affidavit setting forth the facts be-
fore Judge Baker, who issued an attach
ment against the Robins for contempt of
court.
The latter showed that they acted hastily
and under a misconception of their rights,
and upon agreeing to reimburse the re-
ceiver for his expenses, and to relay the
track they had torn up, the court indi
Gated that he would enter an order dis
charging them.

TO MAINTAIN RATES
WESTERN RAILWAYS ENDEAvoRING
TO REACH AN AGREEMENT.
Day-The Pennsylvania Systems
Mileage the Largest.

A conference was to have been had at
Chicago. yesterday, between Missouri,
Kansas & Texas officials and the Western
Passenger Association lines on the subject
OF making one-way rate for homeseekers
excursions, but ii failed TO materialize.
The Missouri. Kansas & Texas wants to
make the rates to Texas points in June
and win. without doubt. put them in. The
association lines are afraid that the action
of the Missouri lines will result in the de-
moralization of business and are very
willing TO allow the rates to exist. Con-
siderable bad feeling has already been
stirred up on the matter and the end not
yet in sight.
To-day the meeting OF the presidents of
the Western roads will be held in the office
OF Chairman Midgley. of the Western
Freight Association, at Chicago, to consider
ways and means TO maintain the rates
which they decided some time ago must be
put up. II no methods are devised TO keep
up the rates, they will simply fall back
again to the basis established by the re-
cent reductions made by the Missouri Pa
cific. The Western Passenger Association
lines are still voting on the question Of al
lowing the Union Pacific to keep its east
bound business out Of the proposed agree
ment on emigrant rafiic- Inere are sun
several votes to be recorded. and it is like
ly that the vote will not be completed be-
fore Wednesday night, or possibly Thurs
day. The general passenger agents are
very anxious to have the matter settled to-
day, If possible, as there is strong prob
ability that If IL is not out OF the way by
the time the presidents are through wrest-
ling with the freight problems that they
will take hand in the passenger troubles
as we'll The presidents have way of
settling things by simply saying, fix II
this way and no other" Matters of detail
In the arrangement of rate troubles never
bother them and the passenger men are
in their usual off-hand manner that the
passenger men will be left in a worse con-
dition than they are now in. Therefore,
they are very anxious to have the matter
out OF the way before the presidents can
have an excuse to pick IL up.

The Largest Mileage.

f. G. Darlington, superintendent of the
Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania
lines. takes exceptions to the mileage state
ment which showed the Atchison. Topeka
* Santa Fe to have a larger mileage than
the Pennsylvania Mr.. Darlington makes
the present mileage of the Pennsylvania
system, main lines. 1887 miles in the state
ment, Including the Vandalia system the
Toledo, Peoria & Western, the Marietta &
Cincinnati, recently acquired lines, and the
Grand Rapids q Indiana, which he thinks
and rightly, are as much part OF the Penn
sylvanla system as the st. Louis and the
Chicago divisions of the Santa Fe. This
being the case. the Pennsylvania has 1887
miles, against 9,141 miles OF the Santa Fe
making the Pennsylvania lines mileage
1.is6 miles greater than any other system
or roads in this country.

Not a RaiIroader, but an Agitator.

Railway Age.
Neither the Biographical Directory of
Railway Officials nor the files of the Rail-
way Age give evidence that Mr.. Howard
ever occupied railway official position,
with the exception of item in February,
1882 which referred to his having resigned as
superintendent of the San Diego street rail-
way and the Colorado ferry and railroad,
with which we believe his connection was
brief. Mr.. Howard is a natural agitator,
and his constantly dissatisfied condition of
mind is not favorable to success in a call
ing like that Of railrOading, requiring a cool
and steady disposition and willingness TO
work more than to talk. His special gifts
+. as disturber were developed during the
strike OF the conductors on the Queen &
Crescent system in 1888, end led to the for
nation Of the Brotherhood of Railway Con-
ductors on the basis OF the strike and the
destruction of the Order of Railway Con-
ductcrs, which has always opposed the
principles of secrecy and coercion. In the
subsequent organization of the American
Railway Union Mr.. Towards restless ma
ture and fluent tongue found still wider
scope, and he can now look back on the
last five years of his life with the con-
seriousness that he has done more to make
trouble between railway and their
companies than any otEer N an. What good
results can he show?
