President Fauvre, of the I. & E., Be
fore the Indianapolis Board
of Public Works.

Mr.. John d. Boroff, of Dayton,
general manager of the Interstate
Traction Railway company, who has
been in Liberty since Tuesday IN tn
interest of the proposed electric rall-
way, has no hesitancy in saying that
his enterprise will be pushed to sue
cess speedily. The right of way
through Montgomery and Preble
counties has nearly entirely been Sc
cured, and seventy-five per cent. OF
the franchise in Union and Fayette
counties has been assured. Early II
March the surveyors will be started
on the survey from Dayton, O., to
Connersyille, Ind From the latter
city the line may swing slightly to
the northwest through Falmouth,
Carthage and on to Greenfield, thence
over the Eastern traction line to In
dianapolis.
Mr.. Boroff assures the people of
Liberty that he and his associates are
energetically at work planning every
detail for the construction of the
road, and they only ask a liberal
spirit on the part of the people along
the route over which they viii pass
Mr. Boroff viii ask right Of way over
certain highways in Union county
and a franchise through the streets
Of Liberty, which matter will be
brought before the county commits
sioners and the board of corporation
trustees at the proper time.
The Liberty Heard says it has
faith in the coming of this traction
line, the building Of which will be
of great benefit to Liberty and Unio1
county.
President F. NJ. Fauvre, of the In
dianapolis and Eastern Traction com
pany, yesterday protested to the
board of public works at Indianapo-
lis against its recent action in assess
ing a fine of $50. A few days ago q
man brought suit against the com
pany for the alleged failure to stop
on a signal and the board assessed
this fine. The board reconsidered its
action, and next Wednesday was Sc
for the hearing, at which both sides
of the controversy can be heard.
Today was set few weeks ago fol

TEXAS COMMISSION WILL
CONSIDER GRAIN RATES
nents of Cereals. Hay and
Flour Is Proposed.

The Texas Commission on January Il
will consider an entire revision of the
tariff applying on shipments of grain,
-four. cereals and hay.
Many reductions are proposed. especial
ly in maximum distances. while the rates
are to be constructed on continuous mile
age for joint shipments. instead of the
sum of the locals, as in the current tariff.
The diferentials are also to be based on
straight mileage and not prescribed sepa-
rately for each line.
On wheat and rye the maximum of 40
miles is increased to 245 miles. with a
maximum of Is cents for single and joint
hauls
Now the maximum at 141 miles is Is

13iz cents, respectively, for 40 miles, thus
proposing a reduction.
The maximum -four rate is fixed at %
cents at 245 miles for both single and joint
hauls.
For corn. oats, Kaffir corn and milo
maize the maximum is proposed for 10
miles and both rates 12is cents.

RAILROAD TICKETS LEGAL LIFE.
Court Holds Its Limitations Are SIM

Court Holds Its Limitations Are Sim
liar to PromissOrY Note.
A decision as to the life of railroad
ticket. which is attracting considerable at
tention, has been rendered In favor of the
Southern Pacific Company by the Civil
Court of Appeals at San Antonio. Tex.
The court has decided that a railroad
ticket which is not used within a reason
able time after its issuance is barred by
the statute of limitations.
The case arose out of the sale of a
ticket by the Southern Pacific ON April q,
1856. The ticket was for a trip from Hous-
ton to San Antonio. The man who bought
it died without using it. Fifteen years
later II was sold. Late In 1883 1t was Of
fered to Southern Pacific conductor. The
latter refused to accept it and the man.
refusing to pay his fare, was elected.
There was nothing irregular in the tick
ct or in its purpose and transfer. In de-
Gliding against the man in his damage suit
tor ejectment, the court holds that 1T was
never contemplated that the ticket should
be held for nearly half of an average life,
time before it was presented for the pur-
pose for which it was purchased. The
ticket held by the appellant could not oc-
cupy any better position as to the statute
Of limitations than a promisscry note pay

Railroad Coal Consumption.

The total coal production of the United
States is now at the rate Of 100000 tons
per day. and the consumption of coal by
railroads is equa, to 10 per cent of this. or
100000 tons per day. In George R. Hen
derson's paper, read at the December
meeting of the American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers, he stated that the fuel
bill Of railroad contributes about 10 per
cent of the total expense of operation and
80 to 40 per cent of the total cost Of run
ming the locomotive. A locomotive will
consume on an average $500 worth of
coal per annum, and for q road having
an equipment of LOCO locomotives the coal
bill is approximately $5,OO000O.
