THE PENNSYLVANIA

roads Passenger Rate Cut.

Philadelphia, November 19.-The
Pennsylvania railroad will not meet
the cut in the passenger rates between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia and Pitts
burg and New York that has been an
nounced by the Baltimore & Ohio road.
George w. Boyd, assistant general
agent of the Pennsylvania railroad,
made statement to this effect to-day.
Mr.. Boyd added:
I'VE think it will only require very
brief time to demonstrate to the Balti-
more & Ohio officials the mistaken
policy they have adopted in placing
such rates in effect and that they will
be withdrawn in the interest of their
own revenue"

Paris, November 19-The American
peace commissioners to-day have been
closely engaged in formulating the
terms of the important communica-
ton to be made to the Spanish COM
missioners next week. 1t is impossible
at present, however, to determine
whether the work will be completed
for presentation on Monday or Tues
day, though it is believed that the
Americans will be ready on Monday.
While the Americans fully appreciate
the necessity of making progress, they
are also under the necessity of taking
great care in the preparation of what
may possibly be the conclusive record
of these negotiations. The Spanish
commissioners consumed week in
the preparation of the last memoran-
dunn, but the Americans will not re-
quire so long a time to complete the
work in hand, and any present delay
will ultimately prove to have been ad-
vantageous.
There was no meeting of the joint
peace commissions to-day.

DEATH DUE TO TRADING STAMPS.
HEART DISEASE FOLLOWED GROCER LIGHTS
WORRY OVER THEM.


Wilmington, Del. March 81, ls9S.-It is
stated to-Eight that Deputy Coroner Chand-
Ter will give certificate of death from heart
disease in the case of grocer John A. Light,
who was found dead in his bathroom yes
terday, the place being filed with gas. Mr..
Light recently sold his business, declaring
that he could not afford to give trading
stamps, and they would ruin him. lie wor-
ried much over the stamps, and this gave
rise to the report of suicide.
SO far as we know, this 10 tho first
case where the postil0ntial Trading
stamp scheme has indirectly caused
victims heath. Yet the above case ia
q revelation--no SO much of the cul-
pability OF the scheme itself. ns of the
almost criminal failure of this I'M
fortunate grocer TO Investigate tho
obligations he assumed before binding
himHelf with them. In all of the
checlisred career OF the satne scheme
iu tho United States, tho Grocery
World has blamed the needless victims
more than ths scheme itself. There ia
nothing concealed ab0ut the affair. Any
business man, accustomed to loDll
closely at the future of all contracts
he assumes, ought to be able to see
where no is bound to lose. If he fails
to 30 see, when he should, who is to
blame?
Another featnre OF this case is i'm
portant. We have reason 10 know that
Grocer Light anbscriheh TO no trade
paper, and his ENHANCEMENT with the
trading stamp scheme, fought as it was
by every legitimate journal in his line,
is vivid revelation of tie pnrils which
attend tho cutting of onesJlf off from
public information.
A striking coincidence auent this
case is the fact that the Delaware anti
Trading Stamp bill. already passed by
ono Legislative house, was dsfsatsd in
the other Oh the very day that Grocer
Light died, through the efforts Of a
woman lobbyist sent to Dover by the
Trading Stamp Co.
