Homeseexer., Excursions.

Homeseekers' excursions are in fair
way to be disposed of in the territory of the
lines of the Western Passenger Association.
A meeting of the association lines was held
in Chicago yesterday. and resolution was
adopted which will have the effect of keep
ing the excursions out of all the territory
of the Western Passenger Association west
of the Missouri river and north of the Ohio,
with few exceptions, The Illinois Central
will continue to run excursions from points
on it's lines within the territory of the assoc
citation to points on its line south of Cairo,
and the other roads are empowered to run
them from points which are competitive
with the Illinois Central in the territory of
the association. The Pittsburg & Gulf will
sell tickets from Kansas City only. The
agreement will cover the space of only two
months, and then another meeting will be
held. and if the agreement has been found
satisfactory it will be adopted for the flu
ture management of the excursion business.
The resolution could not be definitely adopt
ed yesterday on account of the absence or
several lines but it is likely they will record
their votes in the affirmative. All the roads
which have advertised excursions from ter
ritory other than that stated in the reso-
luton will cancel them.

has completed. 1t shows that the boards

The disbursements We're $5O6 607. SO, leaving
an unexpended balance of ST 242.07. OF this
amount S5l9O2.42 is in the police station
fund. 1t is held that this will not have tc
revert to the general fund, contrary to the
usual construction of the charter on this
subject by Controller Johnson. This leaves
a new balance between the appropriations
and expenditures of the year amounting to
s25. 1886. There are small balances in many
of the funds. but the electric lighting and
city engineers pay roll funds are exhausted
There is some Inconsistency in regard to
the reverson of funds TO the city treasury.

The indications are that grain rates east
from Chicago will take the livelest kind of
a tumble whenever Joseph Letter or his
agents announce that he is ready to send
his large pile of wheat TO the ueaboard.
The rates are already growing shaky, and
II was reported yesterday that one road
had made a rate of 10 cents on wheat from
Chicago to New York, which is Il cut of s
cents from the rate which all the roads
agreed to maintain after the first Of the
present year. 1t is asserted that in short
time wheat will be carried from Chicago
to the Atlantic ocean for cents The temp
tation of 100000 bushels in one pile which
some road may secure for itself is enough
to set all of the rates to trembling, and
the roads are tumbling over themselves to
secure 1t when Mr.. Letter is ready to for

ALL ARE MEN OF ABILITY
MEETINGS OF PRESIDENTS INTER-
EsTING AND INSTRUCTIVE.
The Big Four Earning $4,000 n Day
Changes on the Panhandle in the
Handling of Freight Trains.

SOne who attends the meetings Of the
presidents and traffic managers of the rail-
ways" said the traffic manager of a large
system, "can but be impressed with the
ability of the railway presidents, their
knowledge of transportation matters and
finances; and could the remarks made by
these men be made public there would be
surprise over me ground covered and the
manner it is done. Points are brought out
and suggestions made that are farreach-
ing, and which may, in some cases, mean
millions of dollars to the railways. While
there is no attempt at oratorical display,
every sentence is heard with interest and
carefully studied by those present. When
living, George B. Roberts, of the Pennsyl-
vania lines, commanded fully as much re-
spect as any of the presidents, he being one
of the oldest in years, except President
Sloane, of the J4ackaWanna, and having had
varied experience in railroad service. In
connection with this, he weighed every sug-
gestion or recommendation he fathered.
Chauncey NJ Depew is another president
whom all like 20 hear talk, as he ,ningles
some pointed jokes as he goes along that
are richly enjoyed But NJ. e. ingalls,, pres
iident of the Chesapeake & Ohio, commands
much respect as any of the presidents
or traffic managers who attend these occa-
sional meetings. His sarcastic thrusts at
some competing line which has been rate
disturber are usually so pointed that the
offender himself richly enjoys the sharp
criticism, and President ingalls, has way
of making any point he desires so plain
that without difficulty his real aim is APP
parent. e. b. Thomas, president of the
Erie, is another official who commands re-
spect; he usually gives his view of matters
in words which show that he has made
railway operations a study in every detail.
His chief fault is that he usually takes a
respondent view of the railroad situation.
s: r. Galloway president of the Nickel
plate, seldom has much to say unless it be
in the way of suggestion, but he is so well
informed on railroad matters that he is
always gladly listened to. To attend one of
made is a great educator on the railway
problems of the day.

Roads like the Pennsylvania, which are
constantly crowded with traffic, have OF
late made important changes in the hand
ling of trains. On the Pennsylvania road
proper extra freight trains have been rum
ming without special number for some time,
and of late on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
& Chicago, between Pittsburg and Crest
line. Last week the extra order for all
freight trains was extended to the Panhan-
die, between Pittsburg and Dennison.
When freight trains are run extras, and
schedule numbers are abandoned, less yard
room Is required, and there are no annoying
and veXatious delays at division points, as
every section of freight can be sent out as
soon as it arrives. If it had not been for
the introduction of this system on the
Pennsylvania and the eastern end of the
Fort Wayne and the Panhandle years ago,
the tremendous business of the roads could
not be handled at present and frequent con-
gestionS would be unavoidable, and more
yard room needed in crowded cities. Since
the Panhandle abandoned schedule numbers
for freight trains between Golfers and Wall
and Pittsburg, the traffic of that road has
been handled more satisfactorily and expedi-
tiousy, and there have been fewer acct
dents. Since last week all the business ex-
cept tirst-class passenger and packet trains
has been handled between Dennison and
PittSburg and Wall as extra.

Relief for Brightwood, Says Mr.. Kern.

Councilman Smith has talked with City
Attorney Kern III reference to cheaper
natural gas rates for Brightwood. Mr..
Kern has informed him that there is but
little question that cheaper rates can be
secured The city attorney holds that the
Town Board of Brightwood exceeded it's au-
thority in making contract with the In
dianapolis Gas Company, fixing the rates
the citizens of the town should pay. This
he regards as a legislative act which the
Town Board could not perform. There is a
which the city attorney relies. In that case.
however, the question was raised by gas
company that was seeking to avoid Il
contract it had made. The point involved
in the decision is said to have been identical
with the Brightwood case.
