On the Glasgow underground rail
| road the experiment was recently tried
| of doing away with tickets and letuin G
people ride as far as they wished for a
penny. On the first day of the trial,
however, many persons got into the
| cars and spent the day riding round
and round. The directors did not have
the patience to wait for the novelty
to wear of, but restored the ticket sys-
| tenn after a week.
The other afternoon tramp tried to
get out of Lordsburg on the brake
beam of an east bond freight train. In
some way. just how no one knows, for
no one saw the accident, he fell from
| the brakebeam onto the track, the
wheels passed over his neck, nearly
severing his head from his body, and
causing instant death. No papers nor.
any memorandum was found on his
| body by which he could be identified
He was buried at the public expense.

regarding 1000-mile tickets: THE ],
00O-mile tickets of the Southern rail
way, as well as 2000-mile tickets, are
good over the entire Southern railway
| system, the lines of which are general

competitive points, certainly between
Atlanta and Washington, and penetrate
almost every local point of Importance,
or for that matter every competitive

The Commercial club of Dallas re-
Gently considered the resolution of ex-
Governor Gibbs that Dallas shippers
refuse to patronize railroads that run
within thirty miles of Dallas unless
they build into the city and maintain
depots. The opinions expressed were
that Dallas should help railroads that
help Dallas, but that no extreme ac-
tion be taken with haste. The resolu-
ton was finally referred back to the
railroad committee and motion adopt
ed that the president and secretary of
the Commercial club, at once open coz

Rock Island, the Forth Worth and

Rio Grande companies to learn what
the feeling of these companies is in re-
gard to building into Dallas and what
inducements are desired to start such
building enterprises in early and tang

With something like chagrin the
New York World notes that while the
shipments of wheat abroad were 16,-
900, 900 bushels in excess OF 1895, the
shipments from New York fell off
1000 600 bushels; that the falling off in
the shipment of corn was over 500, 600
bushels, while Baltimore gained over
Il ZOO, 900 bushels. That simply means
that the New York and Pennsylvania
Central roads have grown exceedingly
independent, while the man who dir
ects the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Chesapeake & Ohio roads, with connec-
tions running through Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana. has turned large part of
the volume of trade to southern ports.
and served upon New York a notice
that for her to maintain her practical
monopoly of foreign shipments every
possible concession will have to be made
by the railroads centering there. and
by those in charge of the port of New
York.
