3 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO
THE COLDEsT WEATHER YET EN-
PERIENCED IN INDIANA.
Most People Thought Is Was Much
Coldcr-The Temperature in
Other Localities.

AS usual the weather report of yesterday
gave very little satisfaction to those who
were much affected by the cold and wanted
the thermometer to register the fall III
temperature as they felt it. The average
opinion yesterday was that the mercury
should be down anywhere between zero
and ten below. Everyone Oh the street
walked briskly, the men plunged their
hands deep into their overcoat pockets
and left nothing visible above their coat
collars but their nose and eyes; the women
shivered with unmuffed ears and tightly
held the hands of the children. If they hap
pened to be along. Indoors, comfortable
fires of wood and coal were going, the gas
having passed away with the nineteenth
century Callers were hustled into these
warm apartments without the preliminary.
knocking, for, in most cases, some one was
on watch and could see all Corners and
they were assisted in undoing their wraps
in order that they might get warm the
quicker. Altogether, it was typical New
Years day, except on top of the Majestic
building, where the Weather Bureau keeps
its registering apparatus.
The weather men confess that the people
were justified in feeling cold The sudden
change in temperature made the weather
feel more severe than under ordinary cir
| cumstances. The difference in temperature
from noon Monday till I:30 o'clock yester-
| day morning was twenty-seven degrees. At
| 1870 yesterday morning the thermometer
stood at three degrees above zero the low

| From 1880 o'clock the mercury began 70

| 1t stood there till 3 o'clock. then reached
| fifteen at o'clock, when 1t began 20 go
down again, and at o'clock last night.
when the last temperature was taken at

The Pioneer Press of ST. Paul says this
morning that there is now being prepared
in st. Paul a special train os seven cars
In which officials of nearly all the promi-
nent railroads of the country will visit the
principal shipping points to study the
conditions with view to doing away with
fast freight lines and local freight agen-
cies. The plan is TO have from each city
one man to represent all the different roads
All freight business will be done through
him and he will see that each of the roads
secures fits share of the business. To IL
lustrate the plan, such concerns as the Erie
Dipatch, the Merchants Dispatch and sim
liar orga nizations of the fast freight lines
will cease to exist; railroads not entering
a shipping point, who now have TO maintain
6 freight agent to look after their interests
there will in the near future be repre-
scented by joint agent of all the roads,
If this gigantic plan is carried out. At least
ten thousand high railroad officials, il IS
asserted, will be placed, thus affording an
enormous saving. But the main object Of
this community of interests is for the main
tenance OF tariff rates. Railroad officials,
Il Is said, have long seen the folly of ratio
cutting. but have not been able to avoid
1t while there has been such active compe-
tition. Should the plan suggested be adopt
ed, there would, of course be no longer
any competition for freight business and
tariff rates would be maintained. The saw
ing in this one respect would, the promoters
of the scheme predict. result in enormously
increasing The profits OF the roads There
would be no necessity for dfferentials in
favor of weaker roads. The joint agent a.
each competing point would assign TO each
read its equitable share of business-this
share having previously been decided upon
by the high officials who have the matter
ir hand. James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railroad, when seen in re-
gard to the plan outlined, denied any
knowledge of it and said, so far as he was
aware, there were no preparations being
made for such trip as stated

EMPLOYEES PENSION PL AN
THE SYSTEM Is RAPIDLY GAINING
FAVOR ON LEADING LINES.
II Reports Are True. Trunk Lines
Are Not Living Up TO Agreements
on wesf-Bound Rates.

Employees pension systems are gaining
favor with American railroads. The Penn
sylvania Railroad proper was the first to
inaugurate such a system. and IL proved
so satisfactory to the company and its
employees on the lines east of PittsDurg
that it was decided to introduce the sys-
tenn on the lines west of Pittsburg, In.
Guiding the Grand Rapids & Indiana and
the Terre Haute & Logansport, and, doubt
less. eventually the Vandara proper. With
in the last thirty days the Lake Shore
has perfected arrangements to give the
system a trial. and it is stated that the
New York Central contemplates establish
ing such bureau. The Chicago & North
western is another line which yesterday
started a system for pensioning old and
deserving employees. There is much differ
ence of opinion among Western railroad
managers to the practicability and
value of the pension system OF the c. &
~. w. Those opposed to IL do not think
it will prove of much value to the roads
or benefit to the employees. They say few
| railway employees remain in the service Of
the company thirty years and few Of them
reach the age of seventy years; besides, they
say, l per cent. of the monthly wages re-
ceived by employees is not enough to do an
| old man much good, and that an employee
who has had a salary of less than slJe
per month might just as well be discharged
! outright as to be given a beggarly pen
sion, as outlined i'm the plan of the Chi
cago Northwestern more noticeably
than in the others. The president of one
| of the Western railroad systems says:
I'VE are not going ID adopt pension plan
| on our system yet. / do not think the
plans thus far evolved are practicable, and
| instead OF proving an incentive for faith
| full work. / think they will have the OPP
posite effect There Is scarcely a railroad
| In the West which does not take care Of
| Its old and faithful employees and provide
| for them much better than they would
be provided for under such pension sys-
TENS as have been created of late years"
