PREPARING WOOL FOR MARKET.

The Reporter has devoted in past sea-

iect, the result Of which is an improve

dealers and manufacturers have not
failed to appreciate our efforts and have
manifested much interest in the reform
which we have undertaken. Another

southern localities wools are being pre-
nared for the inspection OF the buyer.

Passenger business of 1898.

On account Of the heavy travel over some
pf the Indianapolis lines to the worlds fair,
q large increase in business might a
been expected for the year 1898. but it
should be borne in mind that, like freight
traffic, the passenger business of 1892 was
unusually heavy, exceeding that of 1891
fully % per cent. and, while the worlds
fair augmented the passenger business, the
aggregate. owing to the depressed times. in
local traffic, was lighter than in any year
OF the last seven. 1t is stated by those I'm
authority, consequently, thai the worlds
fair travel shows a large deficit in business
20 overcome to make up this loss in local
traffic. In scanning passenger earnings it
IS shown that as early as April local bust
ness did not meet expectations, and with
each month grew lighter until December.
when there was "A marked increase in local
travel: then, east and west lines suffered
IN through business; many people who had
been COINS to Eastern pleasure resorts or
on harvest excursions, etc, went TO Chi
cago. and everything tended TO cut into
all other travel in the increasing Of Chicago
travel. This is illustrated in the fact that
the Big fOuTS Chicago division, the Mo-
non, the Cincinnati. Hamilton * Dayton,
the Lake Erie < Western and the Pennsyl-
vania lines all show large increases in pas
Senger earnings on the lines which the
worlds fair travel struck, and this state
ment will apply 10 all roads which had
lines direct or Indirect for Chicago. 1t
should be remembered that the passenger
equipment or Indianapolis lines was kept
intact for this Chicago business: no picnic
trains were run no Niagara Falls eXcur-
siOns or other excursions OF Importance.

Freight Rates In Danger.

1t has been learned that the Kewanee
Dispatch and other lines from Milwaukee
are still maintaining the 15-cent rate on
grain and -four to the seaboard. A %
cent rate cannot be made from Chicago
against 10 cents from Milwaukee,, and I'M
less the situation is remedied. the agree
mtnt made by the presidents of the trunk
lines and Central Passenger Association
lines will go TO smash. The 500 line has
its rate of % cents from Minneapolis via
Duluth in effect, and will hold it until Jan.
6. The Milwaukee lines will keep the IL
cent rate in effect as long as the 2-cent
500 line rate exists. Meanwhile, some of
the Chicago lines are handling freight on
lading to make il appear that the freight
was accepted during the last week of 1893,
when the 15-cent rate was the author

Not So Very Reckless.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
Tuesday evening the News emitted a
spasm of delight and grew merry over the
fact that the Cambria steel works at
Johnstown will enlarge their plant, and at
tempts irony in this wise, viz: "It seems
positively reckless to enlarge manufacture
ing plants while the Democrats are in
power" Not so positively reckless when
the fact is known that these mills manu-
facture the patented street-car steel rails
that are being put down in this city and
other cities where the horse-car lines are
being turned into electric and cable lines;
the old-style rail not serving the purpose.
These numerous changes nave created a
recent and great demand for the patented
rail. Up to date the Democrats show a
vicious tendency toward manufacturer
that depend on a tariff for protection and
not those who are bulwarked behind inter-
national patent laws. PROTECTION.

Put Up the Commission Rate.

In the Western Passenger Association
meeting at Chicago yesterday it was de-
cfded to revise the commission schedule
and advance the rate, making it effective on
all business from Dec. l., 1893. The rate will
be 10 cents on a single fare between Chi
cago and the Missouri river and 81 for the
round trip. There will be no change in the
schedule as affecting transmissouri bust
ness.
The meeting of transcontinental lines will
begin at Chicago to-day. and from the pres
ent outlook there is likely to be a lively
time. The Canadian Pacific will be repre-
sented, and will demand it's differential on
San Francisco business, and there is al
most no chance at all of it's request being
granted. 1t was quietly announced yester-
cay that the Canadian Pacific, if granted
its differential to San Francisco. VII be
willing to grant a differential to otF 1r lines
on north Pacific coast points. This would
be simply a reduction of rates, provided
the dlfere 1tialS We're equal. The other

IT BEGINS TO ACT
The Board of Works Orders a
Number of New improvements.
Talbot Avenue to Be Asphalted-Trus-
tees of Firemen's Pension Fund
Elected-Encampment Report.

Mayor Denny gave the Board of Works a
quiet little talk yesterday morning about
proceeding more rapidly with improve
ments. The members told the Mayor that
Trey thought they had been advancing the
work as fast as practicable. They had been
informed by Clerk Parker that the work
at this time of the year was under much
better Roadway than at this time last year.
The board, however, decided to order a
number of new improvements at once, and
a letter was sent the city engineer direct
ing him TO prepare papers at once for the
following improvements:
Asphalt-Pennsylvania, from Maryland to
Georgia.; Talbot avenue, from Seventh to
south side of Tenth street.
Brick acknowledgements street, Del
aware to Tennessee; first alley south of
Cement observation-disclosures street (west
side, from Washington to louisiana; Ken
lucky avenue south side, from Washing
ton to Maryland; Maryland street South
side), from Illinois to Meridian; Pennsyl-
vania west side where not already laid,
from st. Clair to Ohio; Illinois street (east
side, from Washington to Maryland.
Sewers-In Meridian, from First to Sew
enth.
In Mississippi, from First to st. Clair.
In Mis- sissippi, from First to Sixth.
In Liberty, from Massachusetts avenue to
Lockerbie.
In Lockerbie. from Liberty to Noble.
In Noble, from Washington TO Massachu-
sets avenue.
In New Jersey, from Massachusetts, ave
nue. to a point about two squares south TO
connect with a sewer already constructed.
Papers were also prepared for a sewer In
the second alley west of Virginia avenue,
extending from McCarty to the first alley
north of Buchanan street.
The contractor for the Quince-street i'm
provement was granted an extension of
time until Feb. 8.
Edward II. Dean asked the board to con-
slider his property at the corner of Madison
avenue and Coburn street for park pur-
pos eS. The ground consists of a beautiful
beach grove which has rever been plated.
The board took no action.
Final action was taken on the grading
and graveling of Langley avenue, from
Beach street to a point about a quarter of
q mile east; Langley avenue, from Hazel
street to a point 324 feet west, and Hamil-
ton avenue, from second alley north of
Michigan street to Clifford avenue.
that the alley north Of Seventh, between
Meridian and Pennsylvania streets, is i'm
proved to a width of eighteen feet. The
city engineers plats show that this is the
proper width of the alley, although as it is
now built up, the alley is only fourteen feet
wide. The barns along the alley for several
blocks will have to be moved, unless the
property owners can find some remedy.

For several months past there has been
bad blood existing between the two men.
and crawford says that Kaufman had a
habit of splitting at him when they met

and sent a copious flood of tobacco Juice
upon the latters clothing. Crawford re-
sented the insult and was lined for il.

that Mr.. Shaffer should have the privilege
