PAY OF TICKET AGENTS
CUTTING OFF COMMISSIONS MAY BE
NET BY AN INCREASE.
Pennsylvania and b. & o. Secure An
other Road-The Talk About &. l..
Bradbury and the Gulf Road.

The Baltimore & Ohio is making big
hit with its ticket agents at various places
by voluntarily increasing their salaries. At
the Columbus offices and several other Of
fees the agents have been notified OF an
increase in wages. This, coming after the
abolition of commissions, is very satisfac-
tory to the agents. General Passenger
Agent Horner, of the Nickel-plate, has
struck the keynote in the matter. He says:
II am sure that not over 10 per cent OF
the ticket sellers of the country would vote
in favor of returning to old methods of
transacting business, in which commits
sions and side cuts cut a wide swath, as
against the legitimate methods now in
vogue, providing they were compensated
by the lawful and natural way. There are
railroad men to-day who are working for
less money than their services are worth.
and naturally they seek a means of secur-
ing bonus on the outside. The only solu-
ton to the problem is a readjustment of
salaries in favor of the agents, and 1 look
for an early adoption of this rule. There
are many competent men engaged in the
railway business, and when one stops 10
consider the responsibilities of their posi-
tions readjustment is no longer a matter
or doubt"

SHE SAYS HER HUSBAND Is

He Placed n Limit Upon the Amount

ing-Other Court Notes.

Estella r. Tedrowe filed suit against her
husband, Joseph T. Tedrowe. yesterday for
divorce and alimony. She alleges that since
their marriage. Nov. Is. 1894. he has treated
her cruelty and called her vile names. She
AYERS that he is very wealthy. being worth
100000, but that he has been so rigid in his
economy that to live with him is unbear-
able. She alleges that he compelled her to
use burnt matches in lighting fires and
lights and that she was forced to sit in the
dark to save coal oil.
She asserts that he hid the towels, allow
ing her but one a week. and that he limited
the use of rain water when she bathed, and
also placed restrictions upon the amount
guests should use. She charges that when
she asked the defendant for Street-car
tickets or postage stamps he compelled her
to pay for them out of her allowance, and
then he would complain of the manner in
which she spent her money. She says the
maximum allowance was SIS a week, and
out of this amount she was expected to
buy her clothing and defray her personal
expenses, and states that the defendant
now has clothes she made for herself in his
possession and refuses to give them up.
Another charge that is made against the
defendant is that he once choked the
plaintiff and she was compelled to wear
ribbon around her neck to hide the marks
In asking for divorce she requests that
the court allow reasonable sum of ali
mony and require him to pay a reasonable
allowance for her support and mainte-
nance.

A meeting of the traffic officials of the
railroads west of Chicago and st. Louis.
and of the trunk lines, was held I'm New
York yesterday. The question of the divi-
sion of through rates from the East to the
far West, which has been agitated for
some time. was satisfactorily arranged.
The schedule of rates will not be ready for
some time.
The agreement reached is in regard to the
prorating question. This matter is placed
practically in the same status in which IL
was before the abrogation of the prorating
agreement by the trunk lines some six
weeks ago. This conclusion is regarded as
a triumph for the Western roads. who have
been vigorously opposing the position of
the Eastern lines by which the latter de-
manded their full share I'm all business to
points west of st. Louis and Chicago The
Chicago lines have claimed that this rule
operated I'm favor of St. Louis as against
Chicago. In speaking of the results of the
meeting Commissioner Goddard, OF the
Trunk Line Association, said: '"The flow
of traffic will be I'm the same channels as
before the abrogation of the prorating
agreement. The relations between the
different roads interested have been re-
established and hereafter will be the same
as they were before this dispute arose. /
cannot give the details of the arrange
ments which have been decided upon. but
they are satisfactory to all, and the mat
ter may be looked upon as settled"
The same opinion was expressed by the
members OF the committee which repre-
sented all the Western roads at the con-
ference. The members of this COMMITTEES
were Vice Presidnt j. NJ. johnson, OF the
Rock Island; General Freight Agent M.
