THE CARRIAGE NUISANCE.


To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir Tuesday afternoon, I'd instant,
about p. m, slop cart No. 8 was being
filled with garbage on West Ninth street
between Shipley and Orange. One man
(colored) dumped the slop in the cart
while another stood upon the lid and
stamped it, squeezing the reeking stuff
until the sour filth ran down the gutter
as far as Orange street, nearly whole
length of the square, and in front Of
every house a batch Of filth was left to
rot and smell. This should be inquired
into and stopped. The men who gather
slop and have no more regard for the
health OF our people than to handle it
In this manner should be discharged,
and II 1t is known by the contractors
that those employed are acting In this
careless manner, then their contract
should be annulled and more careful
men given in charge of the important
work OF cleanliness to our city and OF
the health OF its citizens.

THE WESTERN FREIGHT-CAR FAMINE
RAILROADS SECURING ALI. THE CARS POSSIBLE

GRAIN SHIPMENTS.

RAILROADS SECURING ALL THE CARS POSSIBLE
FROM THE EAST TO HANDLE THE HEAVY
GRAIN SHIPMENTS.
Some time ago The Tribune called attention 10 the
fact that the traffic managers OF the various rail-
roads OF the East holding on 10 all freight
cars tightly and refusing to allow them 10 go west
This action on the part Of the traffic agents was
the result of long experience. II is the inVaraple
rule when a large crop is to be moved that West
ern roads draw heavily Eastern roads for
cars This Is due 10 the fact that the western
roads poorly equipped with rolling stock. The
Eastern roads have hesitancy about allowing the
cars to go West If no immediate use is seen for
them, but in times Of prosperity Ike the present
and with huge shipments looming up ali around
they want 10 hold their cars here
The car famine reported In the West promises TO
surpass any famine OF a like kind for long time.
The most urgent call for empty IL coming from
the West and 1t is evident that the Western roads
are making extensive preparations 70 meet the
greatest demand upon them ever known In the his
tory Of the country In connection with the ship
ment of the Vests great grain crop. Empty cars
being collected rapidly and rushed to the points
where they will be most directly available. Some
Of the bigger roads having cars built and others
are borrowing In large numbers from the roads
which likely TO have less demand for them.
The only thing that promises relief for the rail-
roads Is the fact that the farmers are all bulls and
are talking dollar wheat.
In the mean time. however. cats and corn are
being rushed 10 the market II Is now estimated
that fully sixty thousand cars have been sent from
the East into the grain belt. The Baltimore and
Ohio has just added 5000 boxcars 10 it's equip-
ment and has placed order for 5000 more A
volume OF freight business that will break all rec
ords is looked for this fall Rig grain shipments
mean increased railroad earnings: the need for
more cars means employment for men and extra
time IN the shops: tho steady climb in the price OF
grain means increased revenue for the farmer VINO
