JOINT RAILWAY AGENCIES
TEN THOUSAND OFFICIALS TC
BE DISPLACED.
One Man Will Represent All the
Railroad Lines at Each Shipping
Point.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 1.-The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say: 1t is said
there Is now being prepared in st. Paul
a special train of seven cars in which
officials OF nearly all the prominent
railroads of the county Will visit the
principal shipping points to study con-
ditions, with a view 10 doing away with
fast freight lines and national freight
agencies. The plan is to have in charge
one man tc represent all the different
roads. Freight business will be done
through him. and he VIII see that each
of the roads secures Its share of the
business. Railroads not entering a
shipping point who now have to main
tain a freight agent TO look after their
interests there will in the future be
represented by the JOINT agent of all
the roads, if this gigantic plan is car
ried out At least 600 high-priced
railway officials, it is asserted, will be
displaced, thus affOTding an enormous
saving. But the main object of this
community Of interests is for the main
tenance of tariff rates. Railroad Of
ficials. it is said. have long seen the
folly of rate-cutting. but have not been
able to avoid it while there has been
such competition.
Should the plans be adopted there
would of course no longer be any COM
petition for freight business, and tariff
ra-es would be maintained. The saw
iEg in this one respect would, the pro
mOters Of the scheme predict. result in
enormously increasing the profits Of
he reads. There would be no necessity
for diferentials in favor of weaker
reads. The joint agent at each COM
peting point would assign to each road
its equitable snare Of busineSs-thiS
share having been previously decided
upon by he high officials who have the
matter in hand.
James II. Hill, president of the Great
Northern road, when seen in regard to
the plan outlined, denied any knowl-
edge oft and said that so far as he was
aware no preparations we're being made
for such a trip as stated.

WELLINGTON NORKnEN
GET LOWER CAR FARE

Workmen Of Wilmington will have a
three-cent car fare. This declaration was
made by Manager Crook, of the Peoples
Railway Company, TO a reporter for the
Evening Journal this morning.
The tickets will be issued in about one
week from to-day and will be good from
to z a. m. and from 5 to Z p. m. They
will be issued to no one but workmen.
That Wilmington's laboring class will
be highly pleased at the reduction in the
fare is evident from the fact that since
the project first was contemplated it has
been the absorbing topic Of conversation.
While it is true that the amount saved
is small, yet in the course Of a year il
would reach quite an item, and the re-
duction will be greatly appreciated.
When told by a reporter that they
would have a cheaper car fare, great
pleasure was manifested by a party of
workmen going to dinner. The news was
quickly spread and that's good for the
Peoples" and they are all right. you

COUNTY LOSES
$4,000 BY STORM
President Lynn Says 1t Will
Cost That Much 10 Re.
pair Bridges

Recent heavy rains have cost the
county at least $4,000, bridges hav-
ing either been carried away or badly
damaged to that extent by the unusu-
ally large quantity of water which
rushed beneath them.
John Lynn. president of the Levy
Court. said this morning that he Wis
tied many OF the county bridges yes
terday and found all he saw in need
Of repair. The one hundred-foot
bridge at Roseville on the road to
Newark. is somewhere down the
Christiana creek. and the abutments
which supported IL are at the bottom
of the stream. The bridge was a
wooden structure and Of old pattern
but it was in good condition previous
to the storm of Sunday An iron
bridge in place of it will cost the
county at least $4,000.
The bridge at Red Mills also is
gone. Mr. Lynn says he has received
report that many other structures
have been swept away by the floods,
and tomorrow he, accompanied by
other members of the court, will be-
gin a thorough inspection of all the
county bridges. It is probable that
the, subject of repairing and rebuild
ing them will be discussed at the next
meeting of the court.

for many weeks It was not heard last
night to the surprise of many and to
the disgust Of some of the members OF
the board
When Robert c. Fraim sat TO hear
the case last evening Robert II. Rich
Dards appeared before him stating that
he represented voters Of the Second
ward and read a petition signed by
seventy voters. The petition alleges
that there was not only illegal voting
but intimidation in the election.
This was somewhat different from
the protest that Mr. Green filed before
the Board of Education and Mr.. DOnO-
hoe said that he did not think It was
right to allow Mr.. Green to make this
change in his allegations.
Mr.. Fraim said that the hearing
could be postponed until some later
date to allow Mr. Donohoe time to
prepare his defense. This was finally
'agreed upon and the evening OF Sep
ember 25 was set as the date for the
next hearing.
The ballot box containing the bal
lots cast during the election in the
