teen lines, as shown by the official weekly
reports, 96,30S cars, 1870 being loaded. In
June, 1886, there were handled at this point

business of June this year was in excess of

HIGH FREIGHT RATES MAKE BUS
MESS GOOD GENERALLY.
Business of indianapolis Lines in
June-Chrfsfian Endeavor Trains
Reach Frisco on Time.

On Monday evening prosperous farmer
of Union county, Indiana, who said he
never knew what it was tc be in financial
trouble, joined in conversation with others
on the transportation problem. A Journal
reporter who heard the conversation was
so impressed with the views he advanced
that they We're thought to be worthy of
notice. He said that "he was one of the
warm advocates of the building of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis road, then
known us the Junction, and from that time
he had watched with a good deal Of interest
the management of the railways and had
kept well in touch with the relations Of
railways to business generally. and he had
always noticed that when business was
good with railways and they were getting
fair compensation for the service rendered
all other lines of business were good. He
then went on to say that he, although fire.
quently a shipper, thought that freight
rates were too low He had read recently
or the great difference that one mill per
ton per mile would have made in the earn
ings of the Pennsylvania road, and he
thought that ii would have been better for
shippers to have paid the extra mill, or five
mills more and kept business good with
the railways. High prices made business
more active than low prices. and the same
was true with railroads What has been
the result, asked the farmer, "of this con-
tinuOuS reduction of rates? 1t has forced
the roads to economic, stop improvements,
drop men wherever one could be spared
and had done more to bring on the recent
depression in business than any one thing
When railways are well paid for handling
the business, shops are worked full handed
and full time, the full force is employed at
terminals, locomotive works and car works
are busy, and there is hardly an end to the
prosperity which follows in the trail Of
prosperous times with the railroads.

Henry B. Stone, who was killed at Nom
quit, Mass, Monday by an explosion of
fireworks. was born in New Bedford, Mass,
in 1852, and had just passed his forty-fifth
birthday. His early life was passed as a
student, and after completing his prelim-
mary studies he went to Harvard Univer-
sity where he took the bachelors degree.
He early indicated very practical ideas
about the way to enter the economic world,
and soon after leaving Harvard he started
out to learn a trade, going into the en-
ployment of the Waltham Watch Com
pany. There he became a proficient ma
chinist He stayed with the Waltham Com
pany for six or seven years, and then came
West and entered the shops of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad at Aurora,
i'll. Beginning in comparatively low po-
sition he rapidly worked his way upward
as his fine executive ability became known
to the company. The first higher appoint
ment he received was to the position of SUI
perintendent of motive power In 1881 he
was made general superintendent and two
years later became assistant general man

manager of the Burlington system, and

opened recruiting offices in the Eastern
States, and secured the services of several
hundred engineers formerly in the employ
of the road. In order to improve their skill
he opened a school, where the use of the
air brake and other similar appliances was
taught. So great was his interest in the
contest that he was not willing to be out
of reach of the dispatches at night, and for
a long time slept on a cot in his office. IT
