The SUNDAY EXCURSIONS
REVIVAL OF THE QUESTION As TO
PROFITS OF THIS BUSINESS.
Anti-Pass Crusade Again Agitated by
BE Made n Standard Line.

Next Sunday will practically end the run
ming of Sunday excursions, and the old
question as to revenue from such service
is up for discussion. Before such excur-
siOns were run between stations on most
roads one fare for the round trip had been
the rule; now the 81 round-trip rate for
long distances has been granted for four
summers past, more extensively this year
than in any former one. A passenger Of
fetal, in discussing the running of Sunday
excursions at low rates, said: ION the
face Of it the companies seem to make
money, but if investigated L think that a
one-fare rate, round trip, on Sunday be-
tween stations. if adhered to on ali dis
tances. yield a larger revenue than do the
in mind that the Sunday excursion business
has only been in operation since the pros
porous times came TO the country. In
quiry will show that many people of ample
means wall themselves of the 81 rate, go
ine one Sunday to some distant point and
returning on a following Sunday. The
railroad companies in such cases get 81.
where, under regular rates, they would re-
ceive probably IS to $2 for the same serv-
ice. There is a class of church-going Peo-
pie who do not believe in Sunday travelling,
and they complain because some week
day is not selected on which the 81 rate
should be granted. Another point is that
on week days fewer low-rate excursions
are now run than before the Sunday ex-
cursions were inaugurated. You never
hear of an excursion being run out OF In
~dianapolis week days at a lower than a
one-fare-round-trip rate. and there are but
few of those run. L question II, when
summed up, the roads do not get less rev.
enue out of travel over their lines than
hey would did former conditions prevail
under the present prosperity of the coun-
try and the inclination people have to
travel"

Hard on

The railway companies seem to have at
last found a successful way to fight the
ticket scalpers through the courts. The In
junction obtained against the ticket scalp
ers at Cleveland has been made permanent,
and at other points similar action is prov
ing successful. So far as Cleveland is con-
cerned and the same was true at Chicago
when there was a gathering of the Young
Peoples Christian Association, the injunc-
tion proceedings prevented such tickets be-
ing scalped. At Cleveland, so far as known,
there was not a single ticket misused at
the Grand Army reunion, which Is a re-
nlarkable result, even with the aid of an
injunction. Records show that with the ex-
ception of the reunion at Chicago last
year there were more tickets deposited for
extension at Cleveland than at any other
gathering since the organization OF the
Central Passenger Association. The total
number of extensions beyond the original
limit of September were in round numbers
10000. while at Chicago there were 81, 600.
There were between twenty-five and thirty
ticket scalpers at Cleveland, and the asso-
citation, as soon as the temporary injunc-
ton was issued, placed detectives at the
establishments of each.

A QUEER COINCIDENCE.
Mckee Occupied Berth Reserved
for N Man Who Had Died.

among the papers found on the drowned
man were a ticket from Chicago to New
York. with berth check. steamship ticket
on the ~Statcndam, from New York to Rot
terdam. TO sail last Saturday"
The above extract from a Geographic dis
patch relating TO the finding of the body
of NJ. G.. V~anderburg, a rich Hollander. in
the river at the foot OF Peck court, Chi
cago, published in the Journal of last Tues
day. was learned yesterday TO have an odd
coincidental relationship to a trip 10
Europe taken the week previously by a
prominent indianapolis banker. People de-
light 10 relate instances in which the
paths OF two persons. utter strangers to
each other. sometimes cross a single time
in their lives and then oiverge never TO
come together again. This, however, is
the story of how the shade of a dead man
obtruded itself for a brief instant into the
pathway OF one whom 1t had never seen
in life.
Edward l.. Mckee. vice president of the
Indiana National Bank. and Medford b..
Wilson. president OF the Capital National
Bank, went to New York, Thursday, Sept.
II. TO take passage for Europe. or the Sta
tendam. due TO sail from New York Satur-
day. the l4th. for Rotterdam. Holland. Be
fore the men left indianapolis they en-
gagged berths on the steamer.
When Messrs. Mckee and Wilson boarded
the Stateudam. a week ago last Saturday
Mr.. Mckee found that he did not like the
berth that had been reserved for him. and
so informed the purser.
There is a berth directly opposite Mr..
Wilson's" said the purser. that was
bought and paid for by a man who failed
TO come aboard and you can have it."
In making the exchange Of berths Mr..
Mckee found that the name of the man
who had ordered the berth in question was
NJ. c.. Nanderburg. Ii is customary for
outbound passengers TO write letters home
on their way out OF the harbor, and these
letters are taken 10 port by a small boat.
Mr.. Mckee in this way mailed a letter
from the big steamer. and when il reached
the Indiana National Bank the incident of
the fortuitous chance by which Mr.. Mckee
obtained a convenient berth after he
boarded the steamer made an impression
on the minds OF the officials of the insti-
tuition. Accordingly. when their eyes fell
last Tuesday morning upon the CHICAGO
dispatch I'm the Journal. quoted from at the
outset OF this article. they at once knew
Mr.. Mckee obtained the berth intended To-
have been occupied by the man who in
stead found a watery grave near Chicago.
Fate weaves some mighty interesting
tangles, doesn't she?' observed an officer
OF the bank yesterday, who related the
strange coincidence.
