NEW R. R. RATES

The reduction in passenger rates an
nounced by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company on Tuesday, after meeting of
directors of that corporation, was the
subject of much favorable comment
among travelling men, aud it perhaps
means re-adiustment OF fares by COM
peting roads,
The Pennsylvania will reduce the
maximum one-way fare from l-2 and 8
cents to 2 IL cents a mile on November
!, and on and after September ] will sell
l0oo-mile tickets valid only on its lines
east of Pittsburg. for $40, and no deposit
of $40 required. That is such books will
be only good on the Pennsylvania roads.
These mileage tickets will be trans
ferable. No change is to be made
in the price of the intercha ngeable
mileage books now sold bv the company
which are not transferable and on which
deposit Of $10above the regular price is
required.
The reduction in the maximum one-way
tare to 2 cents mile will mean an
enormous saving to Pennsylvania railroad
travellers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New
Jersey, Maryland and New York. Nat
urally, the change will not effect fares
which are now less than the new rate.
Suburban fares, many of which average
around ! ceiit mile, will remain un-
changed.
