Chairman Gill, of the classification COM
mittee of the Trunk-line Association, said
at New York yesterday of the new classi-
fication of freight rates, officially an
nounced on Saturday, that he believed the
schedule would be satisfactory to both
the railroads and shippers. The changes
were based chiefly on complaints arising
from the transfer of freight from the
fourth to the third class, and from the
third to the second class, which made a
substantial difference in charges to the
shippers of freight in less than carload
lots. "It cannot be gainsaid," said this Of
fetal, that the Trunk-line Association
has met the shippers more than half way.
Under the advances, as they were first
made, the reclassifying of certain freight
by placing it in the second instead OF the
third class made a difference to the ship
pers of Is cents per 100 pounds between
New York and Chicago. Under these con-
cessions, this advance is reduced TO about
cents per 100 pounds. In like manner
the reduction in the advance In the case
OF freight raised from the fourth 10 the
third class is from 20 to cents between
the two cities. The carload rating has re-
NAMED unchanged. The concessions are all
on less than carload ratings. A number
of changes announced in connection with
the reductions are of a routine charac-
ter, arising from local or seasonable
causes, and have no bearing on the general
changes. In these reclassifications changes
are made in both carload and less than
carload rates"

EARLY MORNING FIRES.
Residences Damaged and Serious
Damage Done to Greenhouse.

The fires OF yesterday started in the early
morning hours. Justice w. II. Lockman,
whose home was destroyed by fire several
weeks ago. was the victim OF another fire.
His new home at 2617 Broadway was par
TALLY destroyed by fire, which is supposed
to have started from fires kept burning at
night to dry the plaster and paint. The
house was unoccupied and but few goods
were stored there. The loss was about $500
and is covered by insurance.
The family OF Michael 0'Connor, at SIS
North Capitol avenue, had a narrow es-
cape from suffocation by smoke. caused
by fire which started, II Is thought, from
overheated steam pipes under the dining
room About 4 o'clock Mrs. OConnor awoke
and found the house filed with dense
smoke. The department was called, but
there was little blaze and this was ex-
tinguished by water before its arrival.
The loss was mostly from water and was
about 500.
The Hasselman greenhouses at Thirty
fourth street and Central avenue burned
about the same time. the alarm coming in
while the fire department was working with
the other fires. The loss was estimated
at 5000 on the plants and $1,000 on the
building. The origin OF the fire was I'M
known, and there was great delay in noti-
flying the fire department.. the telephone on
the premises being right in the midst of the
flames and inaccessible. The department
was also Obliged 10 so around by the
Illinois street bridge to cross Fall creek.
and this occasioned further delay. Three
men who were sleeping In the building were
awakened by the foreman living in the
cottage nearby. II was not decided yester-
day whether or not the greenhouses will
be rebuilt. and I'm any event business can
not be resumed until fall w. j. Hassel-
man was the principal owner and loser.

the commissions for February are not col

OF the reduction. A local ticket agent yes

sold on the Mexican lines. These are the
only ones which now paying commits

resigned to IL. Railroad men are still spec
ulating as to whether the agreement will
be kept in good faith by the roads. If 1t IL.

Capital Stock to BE Increased.

The annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad which will be presented at the
annual meeting of the stockholders next
Tuesday, makes the announcement that at
the annual meeting in 1901 the stockholders
will be asked to authorize an increase Of
IS, 600 in the capital stock, thus bringing
the capital up to s15O.O0O,OOO. The growing
traffic, the report says. makes 1t necessary
to continue improving and adding to the
property and the policy of the company,
while taking part of the expense from cur
rent income, is to get a portion OF 1t
through an increase of capital. The board
is of the opinion that within judicious linn
itations, the wiser policy is to do this
through an issue Of shares rather than by
adding to the funded debt.
