ANOTHER RATE WAR LIKELY.

There May BE q Cutting of Fares BE.
tween Here and Philadelphia.
It Is reported on what seems excellent au-
thority that there is considerable danger of
rate war between the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania railroad companies.
1t is stated that the board of managers of
the Joint Traffic Association, after discus
sion at their last meeting Of a request filed
by General Passenger Agent Charles o.
Scull Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company for a differential on business be-
tween New York and Pittsburg and Phila-
delphfa and Washington. decided that as it
affected only two roads in the association,
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl-
vaHfa, the matter be left to them to
settle. 1t is further stated that Mr.. SculI
will probably insist on the differential ask
ed for. and that he will not accept any
other rate, should the Pennsylvania refuse
to concede what he wants and offer a
lower figure. There is a possibility of live
ly dispute between the passenger depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio and the
pennsylvania, and some people think the
Baltimore and Ohio may conclude to reduce
the rates at once in which case ii is almost
certain that a rate war will arise. The
Baltimore and Ohio, as is generally known,
Is the long route between the points named,
and the demand for differential seems to
a good many persons to be well founded.
Ihat the board of managers do not want to
have much to do with the differential ques-
ton is evident by the manner they have
treated the request of the Panhandle for a
differential between New York and Chicago
and the New York produce exchange in
its demand that differentials be withdrawn
by the association which the cities of
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Newport News
enjoy.

THE CASSmD SOLD.

V0e steamship which was to Have
Revolutionised Ocean Travel.
The steamer Howardf Cassard was sold
yesterday in Baltimore at auction for $1,000.
This is the somewhat ignominious end Of an
enterprise that was once greatly exploited.
For long while the ssteamer lay at the
wharf In Alexandria, and its designer and
builder. Robert NJ Flyer. promised that
Alexandra was to become great ship
building point. He and bthers busted them
selves in an effort to organize a great stock
company to undertake. the business OF con-
structing ships on 81 new moda which
would be able to make,the passage across

The Cassard was built in Baltimore on

struction. The steamer was launched No
vember g, 1880, from what were then Ram
says machine shops. A great crowd gath
cred to see the launch, among whom were
several officers of the United States navy.
AS the steamer moved the ways spread and
bags of coal ballast shifted and the vessel
took the water on her side. The Cassard
is remarkable for her narrowness, being
220 feet long and 16 feet extreme beam.

the lines amidship give it an elliptical
shape. She is extremely pointed at the for
ward end. Mr.. Fryer said that thirty-five
miles an hour would be easily reached but
no trial trip of the vessel ever developed
more than fourth of that speed. Her
displacement was reckoned at about 35U
tons. The basis of the structure Is a keel
that weighs GS,0OO pounds. 1t is made of a
series of plates lamiEated, and as homo
genecus as though solid. This keel runs
from nothing at the bow to depth OF
twenty-five inches outside of the hull, at

Small Buildin gs Burned.

About $50 o'clock this morning fire
started in row of frame structures, 62S-36
street southwest. The strong wind that
was blowing at the time made the fire
hard one to fight, and by the time the
streams Of water were turned on the flames
had such a headway that the four build
ings were almost complete loss. They
were ramshackle affairs at best. One was
used for a 2-cent restaurant and bore the
festive name of 'fielrs Kitchen. Adjoin-
ing it was a one-story stable, where sew
eIal cabmen stored their vehicles. 1t was
impossible to get all the cabs out, and
three were so badly wrecked that it is
question whether they can be used for
night-liners without some repairs being
made. The fact that a man was smoking
In bed in one Of the houses, and that the
flames started in the mattress, would seem
to account for the origin Of the fire. The
total damage amounts to about the value
of the four buildings, but will hardly ex
ceed $1,000. On the way to the fire one of
