Tho passenger ticket agents through- out the clty decline to say anything about the war, but they frankly ndinit that they ara selling Uckets to-tlay much cheaper tian they were a week ago, The “scalpers” are very actlve, andsell Western tickets at from $5 to $6 less than the schedule price six days ago, It ls, however, freoly stated that the cut- tlng of western-bound pnasenyer. rates was {naugurnted by the Boston & Albany Road on Friday Inst. ‘The New York. Central & Hudson River Railroad, the New York, Lake Erle & Western Rafiroad, and the Baltimore & Ohlo Railroad followed quickly in the footsteps of the Boston & Albany Road, and now passenger agents have no fdea when the war will cease. ‘Iho passenger who {s Unfortunate enough to neglect to buy his ticket before he arrives nt tleGrand Central Depot renps no benefit from the war, a6 lo re- , duetion hns been made in the price of tickets atthe depot, The down-town ticket agents, however, do not now think of asking the regular price for Western tickets. Abaut20 per cent off from the’ schedule ‘price Is the ¢ discount Some agents think that # ees will steadily continue to ceclitte until the rallrond Presidents hold a general conference and decide upon some mode of checking the warfare. “Che Pennsylvania Railroad fs cutting passenger -rates tlie sane As other roads, but they lnglst that they still hold firm to thelr freight rates. It is nsserted that a nituber of railroads leading into the Metropolls are cutting freight rates tiardly legs than passenger rates. Commissioner Fink was absent from the clty to-day, and the enployés in his office denied having any knowledge of the frelzht and passenger war. ‘The. general opinion among the “ecalpers” Is, that a passenger jy not very cute if hedoes not get atieket at his own price, Itissaid the trunk fines determined to make rates to. ineet the: prices charged by the canuls, which are snid to be lower thin uugual, but this is denied nt the offices, One of the agents salda meeting of the repre- sentatives trunk Ines) was to. of the be held -at Commissioner. Fink's office to-morrow; but .at.-the -ollice of Mr Fink it was sald 9 that nothing was known there of such a nieeting, It was claimed that Commissioner Fink had noth- ing todo with tha passenger business, aud While the cutting was confined to that his hands were freo from the tronble, which fram the “talk un the street” ts evidently the source of sume’ tunoyance, The bellef that fA private understanding has been renched by the (rani iines suing strength.and the reports of cutting passenger and freight rates right and left are believed to be the final move In-the gane. Lt is construed as singular that. the contpanies are willlug to glyaso much fuforwatton tn regard to the cutting if they had not 8 purpote to.serve. A sentence in the dispatch announcing tho Just’ reduction by the Pittsburg «& Fort Wayne Road lus also excited cominent, The dispatch stated that the reduetion was. simply to prevent the diversion of grain in the elevators ta water- Toutes, Itts pussibly that the Fort Wayne Rond meant by this clause In Its official dis- patch to notify other roads that it, was not eutting except In acvordance with some ex- isting agreetient, This view of the case Isat least entertaining, EAST-BOUND FREIGIT RATES, ‘Tho efforts that ara belng mare by the St, Louls ang Indianapolis Mines to bring about An.advance in east-bound freight rates*will hardly prove effective. Tho ronds leading East from this city, and especially those con- trolled by Vanderbilt, are not in favor-of an advance, and as things look nuw they are not likely to consent to an advance In rates until the cluse of navigation. ‘Cho {net that the St. Loufls Jines, and especially those con- trolled by Gould, clamor for an advance tn rates shows that Vanderbilt's war hasbeen more effective than has been generally an- ticipated.

It has been known for somo time past that he was In poor health, and that -hls last trip to Colorado—whither he went about the Istof May Inst—had failed to benefit him. The dispatches a few days ago intimated that his condition had become somewhnt serious and on Wednesday last his wife started West, In response to a telegram from him asking her to come out and seo him. She telegraphed him she was coming, and he evidently acquainted his friends at Manato Springs with the fact that she was on herway. But the hand of death was already on him, and he passed away tho next day, ‘Thursday, The anxious wife ar- tived too Inte to’ see her husband altve, and, sorrowlng, returned to Chicago with his remains, fonclimg here yesterday after- noon, & few hours after she had notified the family and friends of his death and the fact that she was on her way back.

In 1874 he opened hls Iast—and by all odds his best—" House of David,” at Nos. 163 and 164 Clark street, corner of Arcade Vourt. In muny respects he was one ‘of the most bop ular snluonkeopers and restaurant men Chicizo, his geniality and his blehenrted- ness tying to hima lnrgycirele of udniring friends.
