This would give, adding the gold lost in

Second Vice President W. W. Finley

as Second Vice President of the South

Mr.. Finley received the hearty good

both upon the Great Northern and
from other lines. He is one Of the
most universally respected men con-
nected with the railroads of the North

of universal regret.
1t is understood that the formal cir

EASTERN ROADS NOW INVOLVED
IN THE TROUBLE OVER THE
TICKETS.
CHICAGO MARKET FLOODED
BY RETURN PORTIONS SAID TO
HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY FUR
NISHED BROKERS'.
ROADS TO BLAME FOR 1T ALL
Some OF Them Accepting the Tickets
Without Raising Questions as
to Their Regularity.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE Eastern
roads are now having their share of
trouble over the G. A. r. tickets, and
it bids fair to be a more serious con-
dition of affairs than any of the West
ern roads have been compelled to
meet. The offices of the brokers in
this city are loaded down with the
return portions of tickets from st.
Paul, and no pretense is made that
all of them have been properly exc
cuted by the joint agent at ST. Paul.
The roads, some of them, are not.
moreover. very particular as to
whether the tickets have been properly
executed and are honoring them with
out asking questions when the tickets
are presented for passage. Besides
these tickets, the brokers have large
quantities of the g. A R. tickets that
have never been near st. Paul, and
the charge is openly made that they
have been supplied direct by the
agents of the roads. Charges and
countercharges are flying back and
forth, and there seems to be every
chance of a big fuss before the matter
is finally adjusted.
Western roads have at last agreed
to make a reduced rate for congress
sional conventions during the present
campaign. They. have repeatedly re-
fused to make low rate for these con-
r ventions, but have finally agreed that
they will make rate of one and one
third fare for the round trip, where
the rate is 8 cents per mile, and one
and one-ffth fare where the rate is
over 3 cents.
The Illinois Central, the Wabash and
the Alton have entered into an agree
ment to make labor rates for parties
of five or more, traveling-o on one ticket
to points in the South. The rates that
have been agreed upon are from Chi
cago to Memphis, $40; Vicksburg, $12,
and New Orleans, $13
