A number of passenger officials were in
the city yesterday, including E. A. Ford,
general passenger agent of the Pennsylva-
mia lines west and of the Vandalia. He
said he had not been home from California
hardly long enough to ascertain the real
condition of business further than to learn
that the passenger. earnings in April were
in excess of those of April, 1886. He said he
thought this statement would apply to
nearly all divisions, certainly the Panhandle
lines. and w. NJ. Bruner assistant general
passenger agent of the Vandaia, took much
the same view. He thought that possibly
through traffic had been affected slightly,
but the increase in local business had more
than Offset that. Fl. M. Bronson, assistant
general passenger agent of the Big Four,
states that their earnings are handsomely
in excess of those of April. 1897. and Dis
trict Passenger Agent Hayler, of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Mo-
non, says their business was considerably
in excess of last year on both lines.

it would be of no avail. and that Ii was
