FREIGHT CAR SITUATION.
Leading Railroads Report That Ton
mage Is Steadily Increasing.

Railroads are a unit in advising
that the freight car situation is get
ting tight and that tonnage is stead
lily increasing. From week to week
and from month to month this i'm
proyement in freight offerings is
noticeable. Last months reports
emphasized this fact. The Illinois
Central gained % per cent in Au-
gust, the Rock Island ABOUT IL per
cent; the Northwestern's entire
equipment was utilized; the Burling-
tons traffic was very heavy and the
Gould lines are running close to fun
equipment; the Atchison also claim

burg district fear a car shortage. Be
fore the end of the month the Penn
sylvania expects to be on a normal
basis. These reports are particular
ly significant because they show that
business in the interior is rapidly
gaining, and with that fully restored
the panic will soon DE forgotten.

LACK OF QUOROM
DELAYED BOARD
SHOWS NEED OF REDUCED NUM-
BIER OF TRUSTEES.
Meeting If Second Class Cities Next
Week 10 Discuss Amendments.
NEW TEACHERS ARE ELECTED

Failure to get a quorum delayed
the school board meeting last night,
and the need of getting an amend
ment to the charter for second class
Icities, so that the number of trustees
can be reduced was apparent. Three
school trustees were out of the city
last night. and to get seven out of
nine trustees always causes a delay in
transacting business.
A notice was placed before the
board by Superintendent Carnagey
from George ]. Ramsey, secretary of
the educational commission, that a
meeting will be held in Newport next
week. The commission is working to
have the next legislature amend the
charter of the second class cities, and
the commission wants a representa-
tive from each of the four second
class cities present. Superintendent
Carnagey said he would be unable to
make the trip next week, owing to
1.-THE opening of school, More infor-
nation is expected from Mr.. Ramsey
and nothing was done about sending
a representative. as il is hoped to get
the meeting in Louisville, where il
viii be more convenient.
Six teachers resigned at the meet
ing last night, and their places were
filled by electing four teachers and
two substitutes, who will be used as
regular teachers. The designations
were: Ernestine Lewellyn. Frank
Cheek, Jeon AdamsOn, EuDoyce
Treadway Constance Eggleston and
Lucy Moore. Miss Moore has taught
in the schools before, and last year
spent in the south for her health
She will return this year. Mise
Adamson resigned on account of her
health. Elected TO fill the vacancies
were: Guy Whitehead, of Rainey-
vile; Myrtle Knight, of Louisville;
Ruth Wh!tnen. of Murray. and Clara
Brown, of near Murray. Misses Irma
Yeiser and Marian Williamson were
detected substitutes, but they will be
placed as regular teachers. Lurena
| Hamilton, colored. was elected TO fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resig-
nation Of Ruth Cartwright, cOlored.
The resignation OF teachers TO &C
leept better positions within a few
days before the opening Of school
was explained as being a hardship on
the schools by Superintendent Car
nagey. To fill the vacancies he said
he had to adopt a cut throat policy
by going to other schools and Offering
teachers the positions and taking
them away from schools after they
had signed contracts. After the school
board has made a contract with the
teacher it is powerless to break 1t,
but the teacher can send in her resig-
lnation a few hours before the tap OF
1.-THE school bell. The trustees thought
this unfair, and the suggestion was
made that attorneys ought to be con
suited about drawing a new contract
10 eliminate the possibility of teach
lers resigning at the eleventh hour
unless the board agreed.

Pirates Turn Tables.

Pittsburgh, Sept. S.-Pittsburgh
and Chicago are now on even terms
in the series of games started in Chi
cago Sunday. the locals winning by a
score of 6 to 2. The visitors used
three OF their best pitchers in a vain
effort to check the batting streak Of
the home team. Maddox was strong
throughout. Only one Chicago player
got past first base after the second
inning. Reulbach. who had been sue
cessful against Pittsburgh, started the
game for Chicago, although he
pitched yesterday. He was relieved
after three singles and a home run
had been made on him in the second
inning. Brown then went TO the
mound. but Jared little better. Hig-
ginbotham finished the game for the
visitors and was hit freely.
Absteln's homer In the second m
ming was the subject of an argument
In which all the Chicago players took
part, Tinker and Chance finally being
ordered from the field by Umpire
Klein. The ball hit into the left field
bleachers and bounded out on the
field, where Sheckard got u end

there Klein allowed Abstein to take
the other two bases. the rule being
that when a ball is knocked out OF
the field, as was the case yesterday,
the batter Is entitled to a home run.
Announcement was made yester-
day that Evers. who was put out of
the afternoon game for dlspuung a

three days.
Chicago made It's runs in the sec
ond inning, when Steinfeidt singled

ing on home and being safe when
Gibson dropped the ball.
Pittsburgh tied the score in the
same inning on Miller's single and
Abstein's home run. The punching OF
hits in the other innings were re-
sponslble for the other runs.
