cost OF renting for a year. Church mem

NOTRE DAME, Ind, Oct. H.-Notre

THE MONON'S GRIEVANCE
IT'S SOUTHERN CONNECTIONS NOT RE-
CIPROCATING IN TRAFFIC.
Poor Companies Suffer Through Adj
petent Men I'm Train Service.

W. II. McDoel, president and general
manager of the Monon, has returned from
New York. At a recent meeting Of the
Monon directors complaint was made by the
general manager that they were getting in
sufficient traffic from their connections in
the South. despite the fact that this bust
ness has recently been steadily increasing.
In fact it Is largely because of increased
traffic turned over to the Monon at Louis
vile that the recent improvement in earn
ings is due. The company feels that this
traffic is entirely inadequate, and desires TO
Immediately establish much closer rela-
tions than it has ever enjoyed. The scheme
proposed is that influential persons repre-
senting the Southern and possibly to an
extent the Louisville * Nashville will Sc
cure large holdings in Monon and see that
its interests at Louisville are protected. The
Wall-street Journal says: 'This is simply
a further development of recent deal
whereby the Morgan contingent secured the
Thomas holdings in Monon, thus getting
control of the property" At the same meet
ing of the directors the dividend question
was discussed, but no action taken. Another
meeting will probably be held shortly, when
the preferred stock may be placed upon
per cent. basis Officials Of the company
explain the increase in earnings principally
by a large volume of traffic, especially
from the Bedford district in Indiana. The
Consolidated Stone Company and the
Mononscontrol this district, which is being
rapidly developed on account of the wider
use of Bedford stone for building purposes.
The government is using this stone ex-
tensively in new postoffices and other
buildings, and it Is regarded very favorably
in architectural circles. Apart from this the
increased traffic is of miscellaneous char
acter. 1t Is intimated that the Chesapeake
e. Ohio will in future turn more business
over to the Monon at Louisville.

The Erie is now in the heaviest part of
its work Of improving the Ohio division
by laying a system of double tracks and
by abolishing series of the heaviest
grades on the road between Kent and
Gallon. In that section Of the road, which
Is sixty-five miles in length the Erie has
thirteen grades, some being five miles in
length. The company Is so anxious TO get
the grading done that the men doing the
work carry with them small apparatus
for making electric lights and work by
this all night. Double track is now being
laid west of Gallon and between Akron and
Ravenna, and between Shenango and
Pymatuning. 1t is not known how far this
will extend. 1t is said the company has
set aside 81, 100000 to be expended next year
in extension works alone and this money
will be put mostly into double tracking.

Princeton at Ithaca.

ITHACA. N. Y, Oct. 27.-The Princeton
football team came to Ithaca tonight for
the game with Cornell tomorrow. They are
regarded as probable winners, even by Cor
nell's most hearty supporters. The Ithacans
will put their best team into the field. This
afternoon the practice at Percy Field was
light and devoted to signal work entirely.
On the whole it was satisfactory and en-
couraging. Princeton's players took short
signal work in the hotel just after reaching
the town and it is proposed to call the men
together again Tomorrow Captain Ed
wards reported his men 10 be in fine condi-
ton and he expects 10 win and at the same
time keep Cornell from scoring. Tonight s

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Oct. 27.-There will
be hard-fought game Of football here to-
morrow between Harvard and Carlisle. Re-
Numbering the fierce struggles of the past
two years, Harvard has carefully considered
the coming game and made every effort to
insure victory. Harvard expects TO score
and the opinion is general that the Indians
can put up no defense that will stop Harv-
ards end rusher and Ane-bucking play, and
the only danger entertained is that Hudson
the Indian quarter back, will kick goa
from the field. To-day's practice consisted
only of signal work and was very light.

In view Of conflicting statements and
various conclusions as to the primacy of
either company in the recent Pullman
Wagner merger, the following official state
ment has been made: Neither the Pullman
Company has absorbed the Wagner, nor
the Wagner Company has absorbed the
Pullman. The two companies have simply
amalgamated retaining the Pullman or
ganization, however, in preference to the
Wagner, as the Pullman Is stock COM
pany and the Wagner merely a business
association, with no charter. The Wagner
Company has four directors in the new
Pullman Company, and although the new
company may have the name of Pullman,
1t will be equally as much Wagner as Pull
man, and will operate on all the Vanderbilt

Hard ON Poor Roads.

1t is estimated that one-sixth of the en-
tire steel output of 1900 in this country will
go into the form Of steel rails This is
based upon the fact that the railroads of
the United States recently placed orders
for /, 10000 tons of rails with Pittsburg man
ufacturers for 1900 delivery. The producers,
however, gave the railway companies ample
warning and informed them that by hurry
ing they might place orders at $S3 per ton.
There was a rush OF orders. Most of the
companies held off bit and paid $3o a
ton for their rails, and now the edict has
a ton has been made. This will make the
hard-up railway corporations look blue but
1t is likely they will manage the best way
they can, using the old rails.
