To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
/ have noticed two or three communica-
tons in the Journal from Mr.. Ford, the gen
eral passenger agent of the Pennsylvania
lines, in which he tries very hard to de-
fend the indefensible new interchangeable
mileage ticket One is led 10 believe, from
Mr.. Ford's labored efforts, thaT he is the
originator of this "red-tape" ticket. At In
dianapolis Monday morning Oct 4, passen-
gers were delayed. put out and one lady
missed her train entirely on account of the
rush at the ticket office of the commercial
travellers with the c. p. A. interchangeable
ticket. (The length Of the name corresponds
to the length of time it takes to get a
ticket) Trains have to be held making con-
nections at junction points uncertain. am
told that at Cleveland, last Monday morn
ing, trains had to be held about an hour on
account of the great rush of travellers with
this patent ticket waiting to get their eX-
change tickets. This must, indeed, be inter-
esting to the general travelling public. Are
not the railroad corporations becoming more
and more arbitrary and unreasonable in
their demands? Tuesday night, Oct. 5, on
train No. Z, leaving Anderson, Ind, about
$3.50 D. m. from Cincinnati to LoganSport,
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, passenger
asked the conductor civil question about
his ticket when the conductor told the pas
Senger that it was none of his business.
Does Mr.. Ford approve of this incivility on
the part OF the tralnmen on the GennSyl-
vania lines? What are we coming to as
commercial travellers in regard to this mile
age-ticket matter? / will tell Mr.. Ford
what will happen. Indiana will have law
one of these days similar to the law en-
acted by the Michigan Legislature, which
says to the railroads, you shall issue and
have on sale a one-thousand-mile ticket to
be sold for $40 straight, open TO all This
law has lust been declared valid by the
Michigan Supreme Court. All commercial
travellers 1 meet say they expect to vote next
time for legislators who will bind them

THE MONON PROSPEROUS

port OF the G. & f..

The earnings Of the Chicago indianapolis
& Louisville road for the fourth week of
September were 5000 an increase of S23,-

increase over the same period last year of
S55,O97; July to Sept. 30, $685. $40, an increase
OF $l63,3S0 From an official of the road 1t is
learned that at present the entire power of
the company is in service and every car
that can be commanded and on Sunday the
largest number of loaded cars was handled
on the lines of any day in the company
history. The outlook for this month and
some months to come could hardly be more
promising The stone, the coal and live
stock traffic Of the road is heavy, and in
miscellaneous freights seldom is there a
larger movement. The stone traffic Of this
line bids fair to be largely increased by the
building of a branch of the road to Monroe
county, and as Col. l.. r. Dickson, one of
the directors of the Monon, is the leading
spirit or at least one Of them, it is evident
that the road will be built in the interest
OF the Monon. The money to build the
branch and to develop the stone quarries
has already been provided for. The Grafton
Stone Company and the Buff and Blue
Oolitic Stone Company both Incorporated
under the laws of the State of Indiana, have
entered into d contract with the Eureka Tie
ana Lumber Company, corporation organ
lied under the laws of the same State, a
very wealthy company, to construct rail-
road tracks and switches to the quarries of
both companies for transporting the stone
to the various parts of the country. Those
two stone companies own and control over
$500 acres, containing the very best oolitic
building stone in Indiana or in the United
States. The quarries of these companies
have but one equal in the oolitic belt, the
Perry, Matthews & Buskirk quarry in Law
renee county. The stone of the above COM
panys quarries is known to be the very
best, having been tested by the very best
authority on stone in the United States.
commence work on tracks within ten days
after deeds for right of way are secured and
delivered. AS yet the question of where the
track shall start is unsettled, but this mat
ter depends only upon the right of way, but
work on tracks will be commenced either at
Clear Creek or Harrodsburg, and the work
of constructing the same will be prosecuted
to completion rapidly as possible. The stone
companies will at once commence operating
their quarries, and they are now in shape
to develop their immense stone quarrieS
This will give employment to several hum
dred men. The stone companies, as well
Monroe county, should be congratulated on
getting such men as Col. l.. II. Dickson
president of the Eureka Tie and Lumber
Bloomington, should come in for a share of
the credit, as he for five years past has been
working earnestly to bring about the de-
velopment of these fine quarrieS.

A judgment which Anna Lucas obtained
against the L. E. & w. Railroad for $500

day on the ground of insufficiency of the
complaint. The woman was elected from

claimed that the cash fare demanded by
