ABOLISHING COMMISSIONS

Trunk Line Association Strikes a Blow at the Ferquisites of Certain Agents. After April 1 the Sly Passenger Drummer Will Haxe to Seek Other Methods of Securing Travel Besides Cutting Eatcs. New York, March 7.-The meeting of the Joint committee which convened at tho office of the Trunk-line Association, Wednesday, completed its labors to-rfaj. The reult is conveyed in the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas. It ha been disclosed that the payment of coinml-siona iu the territory of the Joint committee upon first and second-class passenger traffic continues to exist by direct payment or by participation in such paytnentw; ami Whereas, mica payment re in violation of the recent arreeruenta of the trunk lines and the, Joint committee, and it is necessary for the protection of revenue and to preveut violations of law that they shall ceate and be hereafter permanently prohibited and prevented; therefore, belt Hesolved. That each and every railroad company here represented pledge itself that It will not pay, share, or allow the whole or any part of any form of commission, part salary, side-cut, or other consideration in connection with the sale of tickets of the iue of other companies, nor IKTmit its tickets to be sold at any point on commission, and each company here represented will prohibit its acent from receiving commission from other companies. Kesolved. That the railroad companies n presented further authorize the chairman and vicechairman of the Joint committee to give notice of this action regarding commission, to the roanaging officer and general passenger agents of all the lines with which those companies desire to continue the through ticket arrangements, requesting them to refrain from the payment of commissions to the agents of these companies or to any other persons in the territory traversed by these lines, and to refrain from the payment of commissions anywhere upon any tickets reading over these lines or any part thereof. Resolved, That if anv railroad company so advised shall fail or decliue to conform to such notice, upon a date to be fixed by the chairman and vice-chairman of the Joint committee.prompt action shall be taken iu such cases under the tmnk-line contract and the organization of the Joint committee, and also before the Iuterstatecomraerce Commission, if. in the judgment of the chairman of the joint committee, such a course ceems to him necessary and desirable. Eenolved. that thes.fi resolutions ie in effect April 1 proximo, it being understood that nothing herein shall be construed to abrogate existing agreements regarding the abolishment of commissions prior to that date. Resolved. That all the agreements regarding the abolishment of commissions on nrst and second-class business be also made to apply to foreign immigrant traffic as well, provided that this fthall not 1h construed to prohibit the payment of the uniform commercial allowance to ocean teamship companies and lines upon prepaid and European orders, not exceeding 100 per cent, or 2 for each whole ticket, as may be agreed upon by the Atlantic seaboard roads. The following resolution was adopted unanimously by the joiut committee: Resolved, That the chairman be requested to forward to the interstate commission copies of the resolution of the Trunk-line executive committee and Joint committee on the payment of commissions, together with the circular of Western roads authorizing the payment of comniisrions, and express to the Interstate-commerce Commission toe earnest desire of the railroads represented in the Joint committee that the payment of commissions le prohibited, and that the commission take early action on the question. . The trunk-line executive committee unanimously adopted the following: Resolved, That the payment of commissions on the sale of passenger tickets is at variance "with the revised articles of association of the trunk lines now in effect, and in violation of the. rules of the association previously existing. The executive committee hereby reaffirms its condemnation of this practice, and instincts tho passenger committee to take immediate meas- - nres to secure the prompt and entire discontinuance of the payment of commissions. The Mysterious Hee-Line-Blg Four Deal. The special train carrying the Vanderbilt party and President Iu galls, ot the Big Four road, from Cincinnati to Chicago, reached Indianapolis at noon yesterday, and, after a tarry of ten minutes, moved out for Chicago. President In galls showed the party through the new Union Station, and all expressed themselves surprised with its proportions and conveniences. Especially were they impressed with tho blazing natural gas in tho immense fireplace in tho ladies' room. Iiegarding the Big Four-Bee-line consolidation, they had but little to say. President Ingalls remarked that somo time might elapso before the transactions were made public. He did not deny that ho expected to be president of the consolidated interests. To the remark made to J. D. Layng, the present president of tho Bee-line, that he was getting matters into such fine shape on his road that he ought to continue aa its president and enjoy the results, Mr. Layng answered that he had plenty to do, even if he had not the Bee-line to look sifter. This leads to the belief that he is expecting a change. President Depew, of the New York Central road, is quoted by a Cincinnati paperas saying that the Bee-line will not absorb the Big Pour, and that a new company is to be formed to which both properties are to be leased, but that the Big Four and Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati Indianapolis companies will retain their individual organizations, but will be operated under one management, and that .Mr. M. K. Ingalls will be the president of tho Bee-line and of the Big Four also. It has been almost the universal belief that a third line was to figure in the combination, but Mr. Depew said, last night, that if such is the fact he is not aware of it. He said that Jlr. J. P. Layng. who has been president of the C, C, C. & I., and who is to be succeeded by Mr. Ingalls, is to be provided with a suitable position. At Chicago, last night, Mr. Depew said to a reporter: "We are just from tho annual Bee-line election, at Cleveland, after which Mr. Vanderbilt concluded that ho would like to run over the Bee-line between Cleveland and Cincinnati. We then .decided, at Mr. Vanderbilt'a request, to make a trip over the Big Four road, to see it prior to its probable union with the Beeline." 'Is it settled that the union is to be effected!" lnittee at tho Bee-line meeting to confer with a like committee to be appointed by the Big Four road, and these committees will meet in New York tho first of next we;k to arrango tho details for the consolidation, for that is what it is to be. yWe do not absorb tho Big Four. Mr. Vanderbilt was so much pleased with the Big Four, and there are manifestly so many reasons why the consolidation will be a benefit to both roads, that there is no doubt it will be made." "What will be the changes in the orgauitation of the road!" was asked. "Very few. Mr. Ingalls will bo retained is president, and Mr. Layng. of the Bee-line, tvill probably be made vice-president." The Mackey Lines. At the annual meeting of the stockholding the Peoria, Decatur & Evansvillo road, the following directors were elected: jL M. De Yean, Ileman Clark, Fred KoosoVrtt, C. C. Baldwin, H. J. Nicholas, Edwanl Brandon and J. II. Moouey. of New York; 1). J. Mackey and William Heilman,, of Evansville. Ind. Messrs. Mackey and Heiland the Evansville JL ludiannnnli . panics have decided to change their fiscal years so as to make them all end June iJO The Peoria, Decatur & Evansville year at present ends Dee. 31, and the other two ended Aug. SI. The change is made in order to meet the requirements of the interstatecommerce law. which call for annual statements to J une SO. There will, therefore be J to annual report submitted to the stocklolders at present, and the next one issued will cover the period to July 1 of the current yean The Peoria, Decatur k Lvansville earnings, both gross and net, are understood to have shown a falling off iu tho year ending Dec. 31, in cominou with other roads penetrating the same section. Rates have been low, and the strike necessarily anected traffic unfavorably. Th Pennsylvania's Itiggest Year. The forty-second annual report of the Pennsylvania shows that the volume of traflio over the lines last year was much the largest in their history, but by no means the largest in its profits. The percentage of profits was the smallest in the

"It is extremely probable," said Mr. Depew; "in fact, I am pretty sure it will. Mr. anderbilt was made chairman of a rnin-

last ten years, if not the smallest in the last twenty-iivo years, and vet on this great system, as on the New York Central, the resources of the company have been so carefully conserved that after paying fixed charges, operating expenses, taxes, etc., the dividends were provided for and a good working surplus carried to the credit of profit and loss. Personal. Local and State Notes. A. Broddiis, general "Western agent of the Virginia, Tennessee fc Georgia (Air-line)

road, in spending a day or two in the city. Prenident Brown, of the Texas Pacific, says he has not resigned the presidency, and that he has not discussed the matter with anyone. H. S. Hathway Lai been appointed general Southern agent of the L., N. A. & C. and the Louisville Southern roads, the latter being operated by the L., N. A. & C. The Lake Erie &, Western is distributing eleven miles of new steel rails this week, and in the present month will receive the live new freight engines ordered a few weeks ago. The Pennsylvania Company has just placed two hundred more cars of sixty thousand pounds capacity in the Empire line. They were built at Altoona, and are model cars. The official report slows that in the month of February an average of one train in every forty-five minutes left the C.I., Kt. L. &. C. yards at Indianapolis, either over tho eastern or western division. Numerous changes in the boards of directors of Western lines at the coming aunual meetings are indicated, and a good many directors who are seeking re-election will not have niauy votes to spare if they succeed. Stock of the Louisville, New Albany &. Chicago has again commenced to move upward, several sharp advances having been made in the last week. Few north-and-flonth roads have as bright prospects as has this road. The new railroad and wagon bridge which it is proposed to build across tho Ohio river from Jellersonville to Louisville has been located, and work will soon commence on the structure. The bridge on the Indiana side starts on Mulberry street. General Manager Noonan, of the B. & O., Kankakee Dispatch, returned from the Fast yesterday. The new deal of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis &. Chicago road, will not curtail the business of the B. t O. Kankakee Dispatch over the Big Four. Calvin Brice. president of the Lake Erie & Western road, and a half dozen other lines, with a party of friends, proposes to spend a few weeks in the West Indies; con sequently he will not look over his W estern lines this month, as he had contemplated doing. The roads running into Chicago last month delivered at -the stock-vards there 21,000 car-loads of live stock. Of this num ber the C, B. fc Q. delivered 5.7.9. the larg est number; the L.t N. A. & C, 00 cartoads, tho smallest number, and the Vabash 1,117 car-loads. J. W. Sherwood, formerly snuerintendent of the C, I.. St. L. &. CA. spent yesterday in xno city. 1 here are good reasons for saying that in the near future he is to be appointed to a higher official position than he has ever yet. held, as a result of some of the deals now in progress. The Vandrdia is distributing its business much more liberally among its connections at this point than one year ago. This is done largely at the expense of the C, II. &. I. road, wliich, shortly after the IvesStaynor deal, profited handsomely through its Vandal ia- connection. In February there were forwarded east from Chicago 8,87J loaded cars, against 5,701 in the corresponding month oflSSS. Of this number the Lake Shore took out the largest number, 2,185 cars, whilo the C., I.. St. L. & C took out 542 cars, against 224 in February. the smallest number of any road. The appeal of Messrs. Fish and Harriman for proxies in their name for uso iu the annual electiou of the Illinois Central road, appears to have aroused fresh hostility, and started anew sharp criticism of tho character which has already been passed upon the methods of management of the property. The Mackey S3'ndicates are still in doubt as to what louto they will take as their connecting link for St. Louis. It was first understood that they would build sixty miles between Mt. ernouaud Belleville, but it is now claimed that a shorter and more feasible route can be secured via Ceutralia. 111. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which already has a large water frontage on the Delaware river at Philadelphia, has iust purchased wharf property opposite Vind-mill island, for which the company paid ToO.COO. Tho purchase was inauo to head oil' the Baltimore & Ohio and the Philadelphia & Beading roads. Robert T. Brydou, the newly appointed general passenger agent of the Lake Erie Y. Western, yesterday assumed his new of ficial duties. Ho has had largo experience in the passenger trailie, and will have a good field to display his ability in that direction. The business of the road is, how ever, largely local; still there is room to improve on its through traffic. J. T. Harahan is to succeed General Man ager Odell, of the Chesapeake &. Ohio Railroad Company, whose resignation was an nounced a few days ago. Mr. Harahan was for several years general manager of the Louisville fc Nashville, and was later assistant general manager of the Lake Shore & Michigan Central, with headquarters at Cleveland. Mr. Harahan is expected to assume the duties of his new portion in about two weeks. On the matter of building more roads in the West, President Roberts, in his annual report, is quite outspoken. He says: "The enactment of hasty and unjust laws in many of the W estern States is seriously affecting the value of railroad property in that section and seems plainly to indicate that no further investments should be made by your company in those States, except to protect" capital already invested, until a more liberal and just policy is pursued toward tne exisxiug roaus." On Friday. Saturday and Sunday last 50. 000 people were carried between New York and Washington, over the Pennsylvania and the Central road of New Jersey, iu coniuuctiou with the Baltimore & Ohio. and not a person was injured. It is said to have been the heaviest travel ever known over the Pennsylvania road, it carrying from March 1 to 3, 23,000 persons on ex cursion rates, besides its regular travel. On Sunday twenty-nine trains left the Jersey City station for Washington twenty-three "specials" and six regular trains. Tho Central road of New Jersey sent out six "specials 7 in addition to its two regular trains. The olhcialsot the Pennsylvania lines who have been inspecting the Cairo &. Vinceunes road, returned last evening, and after a few minutes' delay left for their re spective headquarters. One of the C. fc V. officials who was in Vincennes lastuicht. is reported as saying that the C. & V. would 1 sold to the Pennsylvania Comnauv within a few days, and with the Indian apolis V liicvnnes, a good line would be opened under one management between Indianapolis and Cairo. The citizens of Vincennes are so well satisfied that the report is true that they are already moving to have the shops of the consolidated lines located there. The success of the take Erie fc Western is largely due to the heavy traffic of freight carried. Industries at all cities and towns on its lino have been encouraged by laying side-tracks to them and then giving as reasonable rates as possible. In other words, the manufacturers on the lino have found the road a true friend to them, and thev. in turn, appreciate it. The Bee-line and Pennsylvania people are just waking up to the fact that they have not given this particular phase of their business the attention it merited, and now their officials are prospecting, with a view of locating side-tracks, and thereby gaining favor with the shippers at such points as Muncie, Marion and Anderson. At several places roads of much less pretentions have out-generalcd them in this respect. m Not an Unqualified Indorsement. Governor Hovey says the Democratic press is inclined to garble his message on the election bill so as to give it the appearance of an indorsement '1 said in that message," the Governor remarked, "that I approved the bill because it may tend to furify our election laws, but I added that was afraid it would be found in practice intricate, obscure and expensive, and that without the enactment of a registration law as demanded by our Constitution our elections will remain open to corruption and fraud. What the Democratic objection to a registration law is I am not prepared to say. There ought to be no objection.

however, to having it known that attention has been called to tho fact that the Constitution demands such an enactment," m m Ileal Estate Transfers.
