B Mm will remain ns Ions ns thoro uro railroads?
n I don't boo how tho law can stop tho paymont
H a commissions. It it dooscompol tho companies
to require ns to soil tickots at tho samo prlco
as agents at tholr recular olTlcos do. In tho
first placo, tho companies can constltuto us
authorized awnts, as wo practically are, and
pay us accordlnir to what wo soil : and what Is
that but parlnB commissions? Tbolaw can't
shutdown on that. Wo nro of moro benefit to
tho vroa.er linos, and brine thorn in far more
profits than their own aconts.
"But, whatever tho decision of tho commis
sion, thoro will bo lott sources ot reieauoto
the brokor, omphaslzod by tho Broltots' Asso
ciation, by which oxchango Is easily offootod
ganorur, themselves. As lone ns thoro is such n
network of railroads, brokers can make Rood
profits by a system of making up tickots, famil
iar to tboso In tho business. And mado-uo
tickots may bo sold to a traveller much cheaper
often, and thoro is no discrimination usod by
Say one. For axamplo, whllo a man would
.veto pur 120 to bo to Chicago by thoU'ennsyl
yaola road, evon at a broker's otUco, tho broker
mkht fit him out for tho samo prlco with a
Heist to bouio point beyond, nnd when tho
traveller reached Chisago ho could readily noil
the second part of tho tickot to some associa
tion broker. Ho ho would really bo going by
the Fsnnsylvanla road for less than tho tariff,
and yet It would bo perfoctly lawful. Then
Kiople In general will alwnys go to .tho broker
r a certain class of Information which they
ean5 well got elsowhoro. .....
i havo the boat ot reasons forbolloving that

strong lines to harass tho weaker ones. Tho
strong companion can do very woll without tho
brokers, but to the wonkor ones tho scalpers
era most nseful agonts. Hut tho brokers them
Mlres can stand It. Tho bardost knook wo over
got was when the lntor-tttato Commerce law
went into effect."
Commissioner Flerson. Chairman of tho Pas
senger Oomniltteo of tho trunk linos notlllod
theinttr-tttata Commission yostordar that tho
bunk lines would restore tho regular immi
grant rates to tho Woet on tho 23d Inst. This
will send the IS Immigrant rate to Chicago up
to $13. and tho prosent tit. l'aul rnto of 110 will
be lucre-sod to 22. The Velaworo and Lack
awanna and the Ontario and Western, tho
roads outside ot tho pool, will also advanco Im
migrant rates. .
Jndgo Cooler. Chairman of tho Intor-Stato
Commerce Commission, says, regarding tho
bill introduced in the House of ltoprosonta
uves for the repeal ot the Inter-titato Com
merce law, that ho does not think any portion
of the law will bo ropealod. It is his opinion
that the law Is an excellont ono, and fully
Seeta the expectations of its projectors. Tho
immisslon not only favors the retention ot
Svery provision of the law as it stands, but
eslres that it should bo made stronger. In
resisting tho law and refusing to carry it out,
the railroads retard tho prosperity of the
country. .
A general notlco from the offlco of tho Bell's
Gap Tltailrood announces that Ucnoral l'asson-
' ger Agent E. M. Stock has boon promoted to
the placo of chtot auditor, with headquarters
M at Bellwood.
BSamuel YV. Huston, formerly assistant road
foreman ot engines on the Philadelphia divis
I ion of the Pennsylvania road, has been op
1 pointed master mechanic and roadr foreman of
1 engines on the Cornwall road. Mr. Huston was
1 for many years on employee at tho Ualwin lo
comotive works, Philadelphia, and he brings to
his new offlco the advantages ot a ripe experi
ence. The Downlngtown nnd Lancaster Railroad
Company, which now controls tho old East
Brandywlne and Wnyncsburg road, extending
from Downlngtown to Mow Holland, has au
thorized the creation of a mortgage upon its
proporty for $300,000. This is done for tho pur
pose ot obtaining sufficient capital for a pro
posed extomtion of its line from New Holland
to Lancaster, a distance ot twelvo miles.
Samuel Howard has recovered $1,500 from
the Philadelphia and Beading road for the
killing oi his child ut a dangerous crossing
near Lebanon. .
General Manager Ned Irish of the Cornwall
and Lebnnon road is onergotlcally at work ex
perimenting with devlcos for heating his oars
S'ith steam. Several very good-systems have

ployee of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany at Lebanon, has been appointed station
agent at Kalghn's Point, on the Phlladelnhla
and Atlantlo road. Mr. Bobjnson will tuko his
plaoe Jan. 1.
On Tuesday Robort H. Coleman. Presldont ot
the Cornwall and Lebanon road, jumped on a
Philadelphia and Beading freight onglne at
Lebanon and run it to Harrisburg. be himself
having charge of the throttle. This extraor
dinary trip for Mr. Coleman was mado for the
purpose of experimenting with his newly pat
anted spark arrester which .had boentplncod
on that engine lor that purpose. Tho million
aire President was highly grntiUed with tho
result of bis experiment, and assorted that It
, had saved threo large barrows ot coal on that
trip. Tho patent is being tried on other roads
. ana Is fully demonstrating its utility and value.
A large force of men, are at work along tho
line of the Philadelphia and Beading road,
planting young trees In tho neighborhood of
switches. This plan has been adopted as a
means to locate switches when snowdrifts havo
covered up tho signals.
A company has been organized f n Rome to
bouda railroad from thut city to Carthage, N.
Y. James C Smith. President, and othor
officers ot the company hare bod an interview
with Channoey M. Derow In New York about
building tho road. They received considerable
encouragement, and will tnke lmmodlato
measures to lnvostigato further as to the
probable rovenus ot tho proposed road from
freight and passenger traffic Tho object Is to
relievo the northern part of the Stato from tho
exactions of the Rome. Watertown and Og
densburg Railroad Company, which controls
all the traffic through that region by means of
Its main line and the Black River Road, which
It has leased.
The Inequality of pay on railroads Is illus
trated by the remark ot a Rome, Watertown
and Ogdonsburg trainman, who Bald: "On
this road, no matter bow many miles ho runs,
a trainman gets $1.50 a day. But u baggage
man, who makes tho same run. gets $1.60. All
this time an engineer gets $3.50, a liroman
11.85. and a conductor $2.17 a day.
, General Superintendent L D. Barton of tho
Long Island Railroad Company yesterday ap
pointed Messrs. George Miller and William
Parsons, two of tho oldest and most experi
enced engineers on the road, and Mossrs. Wil

the company expect to increase tho effloienoy
of their service.
An amicable arrangement has beon effected

The mnnagors of tho Western roads woro in
session ngain In Chicago yostordav.but mado no
progress In the direction of settlement of tho
complications In regard to live stock and pro
vision ratoi. Tho Alton pooplo charged tho Bt.
Paul with bad faith, and assortod that tho lat
ter had recently demoralized llvo stock rates
from honsns City. It was charged
that tho Ht. Paul Company pays its
agont , at Kansas City $7.50 commission
on oach oar of llvo stock scoured for that road.
The $7.60 commission, it Is nlloged, Is divided
with shippers, nnd in that way tho rates aro
cut, although tho St. Paul road Is nnpnrontly
maintaining ratpa. Tho Atchison. Rock Island,
and other companies thnt havo linos wont of
the Missouri Rlvnr Insist thnt thoy are entitled
to nil business originating on their lines west
of tho river. Tbo Alton, howovor. inslots thnt
all freight must break bulk at tbo Missouri,
nnd thnt tho Alton must have n fair share of
tho through traffic from Kansas City to Chicago.
In tho ovont of tho other roads refusing to
allow the Alton n portion of their buslneos, tho
latter will mako rates to socuro it, which throat
has had Bomo olTect on the St. Paul officials,
but it Is doubtful It any settlement can bo
reached at presont.

Mayor Howltt was tho central figure at
tho mooting of tho Board of Estimate and Ap
portionment yesterday, and was, as usual.
Interesting, nnd more than usually good-natured.
Ono of tho first things he did was to
say that bis remarks of tho previous day in re
lation to tho Board of Assessors woro not In
tended as any reflection upon Its membors.
" Thoy do all that Is required of them, but thoy
aro required to do what is not necossary,"
The estimates passed provisionally wore:
Mayor's office, $26,000; Aldermen, $76,800;
Flnanco Department, $287,000; State taxes,
$4,100.822.71 ; rents ot buildings for publln uso,
$129,322; armories and drill rooms. $37,322;
armory rents, $72,500; judgments, $200,000;
Soventh Regimont Armory fund. $15,000; Sink
ing Fund Commissioners, $5,000: real estato
expenses, $5,000: Department ot Taxes and
Assessments, $101,000; Board of Assessors,
$10,200; Commissioners of Accounts $27,500:
Bureau of Elections, $222,700; Board of Esti
mate. $3,000: Mayor's Marshal. $13,100: Pollco

cial Sossions, $23,000 : General Sessions Judges
salaries. $18,000: charitable institutions. $1,
144.112.61 : soldiers funerals. $10,000.
Ot this last item Mayor Hewitt said: " The
city is paying a bonus for old soldiers to como
hore and die. They insist upon coming horo
to die."
Tax Commissioner Coleman attempted to
comfort tho Mayor by suggesting that it they
all died there would bo no more to bury, but
the Mayor responded that he fearod that they
would be like the Revolutionary widows, whom
We havo still with us. ... .,
R. H. Shannon, wboso relation to the Board
ot Estimate and Apportionment is very liko
that of the Wolf-Cromwelllan Board of Alder
men to tho Common Council, made his annual
appearance to attack the estimates ot some ot
the departments. Tho Board will meet again
this morning.

Tho most cratlfylnB development tbat has
taken placo recently in railroad affairs was tho
action ot Intor-Stato1 Commissioner Cooloy
yesterday in telling tho managers of tbo
Orancor roads what thoy mlcht expect from
tholr continual violations ot the Inter-State
lafy by tbe payment ot commissions and by
othor devlcos that amount to discrimination
and to a violation of published tariffs. Tbe
railroads bavoa cood deal to be thankful for In
the character of tbe Inter-State Commission
as at present constituted. Judce Cooloy and
bis associate might havo taucht tbo roads a
vory sovoro losson by laylnc tbo evidence of
rato outline and discrimination which they
pOBsoss- before tbo United States District At
torney at Chicago and morlne for tho Indict
ment of tho officials who hno violatod the
law. Tbe railroads may Invelnh against the
law as much as thoy please, but tho fact re
mains that It contains provisions wbicb, li en
forced, would offectnally put an end to rate
cuttloe.
Contemporaneous with tbe service rendered
by Judco Cooley, tbe railroads In tbe West and
Southwest have besun to do Bomotblncr for
themselves. Publlo criticism and tbe pressuro
of their stockholders, as well as tbo condition
ot tholr llnnnces, havo becun to tell upon
thorn. In order to at once obtain satisfactory
results from tbe lurce truffle In slcht. and also
to forestall unfavorable action by communlstio
Lecislatures, all of the larger roads oocupylnc
the Northwestern. Southwestern, and Inter
mtdlato Urrftorr hay riiraed ft simple- wre-

In oventof any onoot bis subordinates bclna
doclared guilty by a majority of tho Presidents
of deviating from tho established schodulo bo
shall bo dfscbnrged. It is also provided
tbat all outstanding contracts shall bo

to provont futnro cutting undor protonco thnt
It Is tho carrying out of old contracts. It should
bo understood that this ngrcomont is a tem
porary ono. In fnct, It Is sot forth tbat It is
simply intondod to consorvo tho traflla until a
more comprahonslro and Bubstnntlal nrrango
rnont can be agreed upon. Tho work of per
fecting such nn ngroemont will be undertaken
at once, and will bo suporvhod by tho leading
banking Interests of Kurope nnd ot this coun

from tho courso of the market tbat somothlng

whon tho market boraiuo dull, ns it did occa

tho cno recently. Tho heaviest trading was
In Missouri l'ncllle nt n net ndrnnco of nearly

Thnt event removes ono factor ot uncertainty,
and honco of depression. Now England wns

though small decline. Tbo rodoctlon of tbo

calculated to dispel the Inst vostlgo ot myxtory
