RECENT RAINS NsUR 4 GOOD FALL
TRAFFIC FOR RAILWAYS.
A. J.. Cnssatt Would Gladly Turn Pres
idency of Pennsylvania Over to
One of the Other omciaIs.

NJ. ". Mansfield. superintendent Of the
indianapolis & Vincennes and the Indian
apolis terminals Of the Pennsylvania Com
pany, has returned from a two lays trip
over the road. lie says the farmers on the
line are in high glee over the recent rain,
as it means a heavy corn crop in the low
grounds, and. fortunately. 50 per cent. Of
the corn now growing is on the lower and
bottom land; the other 20 per cent. will
make a poor yield. possibly one-third or
one-half what IL would nave been had
rains fallen a little earlier. Mr.. Mansfield
seemed TO think that a yield of so per cent.
will average well with former years. On
this road much of the corn goes into fatten-
ing cattle and hogs. and the indianapolis
q Nincennes is not so much benefited in
moving the corn crop along its line; still.
the road hauls the cattle and hogs. which
yield a handsome revenue.
John Lazarus. freight ira fic manag of
the Indiana. Decatur < Western, says that
on two-thirds of that road there nave been
rains sufficient 10 keep a crop in a grow
ing condition, but the later rains will help,
especially in the portion Of Indiana through
which the Indiana. Decatur & Western
passes, where the rains nave not been as
abundant as in Illinois; the extension TO
Springfield passes through the corn belt of
Illinois. and by Oct. l the Indiana, Decatur
q Western will draw a good business from
this extension and from the excellent con-
n%ections the road will get through il.
Ford Woods, general freight agent Of the
Peoria * Eastern, is in a cheerful mood
over the situation. He says he has never
been one Of the calamity howlers who said
that the corn crop OF this year would be a
failure, as on a large portion of their west
ern division corn had not really suffered
much for rain, and along $50 miles of the 2l2
miles between here and Peoria the corn
crop promised TO give the heaviest yield in
years. The increased demand for cars in
which to ship corn from points on lines
west OF here the last two or three days is
taken as evidence by freight men that
farmers have become satisfied there will be
a fair crop OF corn. on some lines west of
here from 40 to 50 per cent. of last years
crop is still on hand.
Samuel Il. Sweet, general freight agent of
the Lake Erie x Western. said that on
these lines in Illinois a full corn crop is
assured. Rains have been plenty and corn
Is in a high stage of cultivation, but their
lines in Indiana run through a portion of
the State that has had but little rain and
he thinks there will not be more than 90
per cent. as large a crop as tina of the fall
of 1900. In Ohio the conditions are better
than IN Indiana, more rain having fallen in
the last few weeks.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In the last few weeks there have ap-
peared in the local press, during short in
tervals. numerous articles coming from
railroad sources making all kinds of ex-
posures of the ticket broker and his meth
DDS of conducting his business. A ticket
reported worthless was purchased by an in
dividual. and the -well-meaning reporter
grasped at this bit Of railroad news, eager
to publish a large article. and stated that
IL was purchased at d local ticket brokers'
office.
a business that has been established since
1873. which has men engaged in it residing
in this city who have lived here all their
lives bearing the honor of good citizenship,
should surely in the dawn of the twentieth
century not be compelled to undergo un-
scrupulous reflections based on rumors
emanating from strong railroad circles. IL
a wholesale clothing house, tobacco COM
pany or dry goods merchant sent goods not
as guaranteed, or through error shipped an

do happen-would the press state This or
not as represented Most emphatically,

own and the great travelling public who
continue to purchase the brokers railroad
transportation. 1t is only misleading infOr-
nation and a desire by some strong lines
to do away with the broker and his voca-
ton which creates this spirit OF animoslty
and jealousy. terminating, after all other
legal persuasions have failed, in injunction
proceedings.
The broker is here TO stay as long as rail-
road competition exists, and Is willing TO
take sides legally in any court of the land
against the anti-scalping bill. The New
York Supreme COur has already declared
itself. IT is the railroad corporation vs..
the ticket brokers. They have created us,
and surely need no outside assistance In
helping or defeating us. We only ask that
the press take an impartial view or a bust
ness discussion. There was received by all
the local papers yesterday from the Central
Passenger Association copied articles To
publish a most dishonorable attack upon
the ticket broker and his business. II has
been sent for print, like all such articles,
with the hope that an u~npreJudlced puDllc
