Fast Freight Line Economies.

1t is now known what effect the CONSOLE
dalton of the Vanderbilt fast freight lines
will have at Indianapolis. F. l. POmeroy,
general manager of the consolidated lines
operating over the New York Central, which
includes the White, Blue Midland and Can
ada Southern lines; w. f. Wilson, general
manager of the lines operating over the
West Shore road the West Shore the North
Shore Dispatch and the Nickel-plate. and
W. j. Street, general accountant, arrived
in the city yesterday. After having COM
pleted their work at Northwestern points
they will visit st. Louis and Cincinnati.
The only action taken at the meeting yes
terday affected the lines carrying business
over the Big Four, namely, the White line
the West Shore and Nickel plate, and the
selection of representatives of the lines
now consolidated resulted in the appoint
ment of j. l.. Blaker, a veteran in the serv-
ice of the White line, as general agent Of
the three consolidated lines, J. A Simmons,
who has been general agent of the West
Shore line. as travelling agent and Frederic
Sullivan as contracting agent. all to work
in harmony with William Sullivan, CONNER
ciai agent of the Big Four. No action was
taken regarding the Blue and Canada
Southern lines or the Midland line, the mat
ter being deferred for the present. By
these changes w A Lynn, who has been
agent of the Nickel-plate at this point, and
Joseph Byrnes, contTac ing agent, are out
CT positions. This is the third time that
Mr.. Lynn has been thrown out of official
position by line changes. General Manager
