It is supposed that he has either exiled himself through some attack upon his self-love or that he has committed suicide in disgust of this world of dead- heads. Theonly gentleinsn who has the combined misfortune of, being a. theatrical agent and at the same time located in Pari is Mr. Henry Wertheimer, and the identifica tion of him with the suicide wouid lead to the following incident, which shows how closely a theatrical agent’s life is governed iy Ws TEMPORARY STAR it appears that Mr. Wertheimer endeavored tu secure Mme.

Mr. Wertheimer -regardme his fortune as already made, -and bemg of the opinion that the land of sepulchres would gladly welcome a rank fossil, he decided to permit Mile. Aimée to druw upon-him for “necessary expenses.” ‘The story continues that Mademoiselle did draw to such an ex- -tent that Wertheimer’s exchequer became empty, and, when the time signified: by the contract for Mme. Aimcée to go south ap- proached, the little: Frencl) wgman declined to leave La Belle France and BROKE WER CONTRACT. Mr. Wertheimer saw all his fondest hopes yanish into thin air, and he simply blew a hole through his head.

The Vanderbilt Roads Taking Busi- ness at the Best Rates. They * Can Get. ‘Tho? Vanderbilt Roads Weduco, East- Bound Bates — Light Wast-Bound Business. and the Rensons for It, The east-bound frelzht business fs in a more muddled and unsatisfactory condition than ever. ‘Cho attempt made Nov. 1 to bring about a general advance in rates has proven abortive. It was thought for awhile that the roads would maintain a 2-cent rate on rain, Chicago to New York, because all the roads finally settled uvon this figure. But the attempt of the Vanderbilt roads last Monday to force up rates still higher knocked things endways again, and it may now-be said that there are no rates, the reads taking such business -as they want for whatever rates they can get for it, The action of the ‘Vanderbilt roads last Monday in advancing rates to a 25-cent basis, when the other roads were taking business at 2 20-cent basis, caused general mistrust among the auti- Vanderbilt people, because they believed that Vanderbilt meant to play tick uvon them, especially as it was rumored that the Vanderbilt roads, previous to announcing the new rates, had made largo contracts at inuch lower figures. Tlad it not been for this mistrust the anti-Vanderbilts would no doubt have followed Vanderbilt’s lead, but as they cculd not see why he should of a sudden take the lead advancing rates when all along he had followed the lead of his competitors, they felt quite sure that a trap had been set. for them, and they refused to please him py adopting the rates announced by his roads. ‘The fact, also, that very little business was going forward even at a 20-cent rate, there being no Easter demand, kept them from adopting Vanderbilt’s advanced rates, The ,refusal of. the anti-Vanderbilt roads to ad- eft the Vanderbilt lines in an awkward position from which they found it very difficult to extricate themselves. It was not possible for them to maintain a higher Tate than their competitors without alienat- ing many of their customers, but they hated to zo backto the 20-cent rate openly, and'‘thus announce to the world that they had been.uc- feated by their adversaries and that they themselves fell into the hole they had dug for the others. . Yesterday morning the General Managers and General Freight Agents of the Vanderbilt roads—Lake Shore and Michigan Central—held a meeting at the Lake Shore olfice to take some action that would in a measure rectify the mischief that had been done by their hasty and unwise action lust Monday. After adjournment it was reported on ?Change that they had de- cided to reduce rates 10 the 20-cent basis; and the various fast-freight fines which run over the Vanderbilt roads and the Great Western of Canada, which forms a link between the Michigan Central and’ New York Central, were informed. that tomorrow the tariil of Noy. 1, which is the 20-cent tariff, would go into effect again. The General Managers and G 1 Freight Agents of the V: roads who participated in the meeti the Luke Shore office, when they were asked what had been done in the inatter, denied that a reduction of five cents had beenagreed upon. ‘They claimed to have taken “no aetion in the matter, and decided to Ivave ‘iE itis, and, it they find it neces- ‘o make such rases as would secure the business they wanted. .As there is positive proot that orders have been given to the various fast-freight lines running. over the Vanderbilt ruads to reduce rates again ta the 20-cent basis, the denial of the manage! the Vanderbilt roads. that they have ‘tal sth action can only be explained on the gruund that they are reluctant: to _let- the public kuow that they have taken the back track, and wish to have the matter known to their agents 9) isi tween the di business pa: an be adjusted on the 2 asis, but they do nog seem to méan to toa 20-cent rate. It is evidently e to ave the public understand ey have no regular rates and that shippers can secure favorable terms by ing at their offices or applying to their agents. It is claimed that the Merchants’ Desvatch, the principal fast-freight dine running over the Vanderbilt roads, has made contracts during the week at 15 cents per 100 Ibs on grain wnd 20 cents on provisions Chieczgo to New York, and it is quite likely that the Vanderbilt roads will continue to mike such: rates to favored shippers. Those shippers for whom they care but little will of course be charged 20 cents on grain and ts on provisions. ‘The nderbilt e-alford to adhere to 2°20 cent woul place them at a disad- vantage against the Pennsylvania and.

But business is unusually light, aud nothing except small amounts of export produce is going forward. ‘The totalamount of flour, grain, and provisions shipped dur- ing the past week by the six. Eastern Tin amounted to only 40,255. tons—no more than either the Lake Shore or Michigan Central could carry alone ina week if they would tax themselves to their capacity. The total grain shipments by the six Exstern lines amounted to only 25,356 tons: ‘The experience during the past wee! |e to east-bound rates demonstr is useless for the railroads to addy: tain them as long as there ts uo poolor binding agreement between. them, and, even if there was such an agreement, they could. not restore former rates on nevount of the scarcity of business. In order to move any traffic at present they must make their rates unusually low, and’as long as this condition of affairs ‘prevails it is not likely that an agreement between the various Eastern roads for the maintenance of high rates can be made no matter how much they desire to do so. The Eastern roads would never have been able to mainyin a pool for two or three yea nd charge high rates had it not been for the fact that during the con- tinuance of the pool business was bettér than ever before, aud general prosperity, prevailed throughout the country. ‘Che opinion be- came general among railroad men and capi- talists that this condition would continue, and this caused the constrnetion of number- less new roads for which there was (no pres- ent use. The money for these enterprises was coming forward quite freely because those embarking in these ventures expected to reap a rich harvest from theirinvestments. Buta sudden change has come over the spir- it of their dreams. ‘This: year’s crops have proved a_ partial failwre, “and what makes matters still worse there is little demand for Western products in the East ‘and Europe. There ix-much -less business tu ’go forward than formerly, while the number of roads has largely inereased. ‘Che same condition now exists that prevailed some ten years ago, when Commodore Vanderbilt, on being asked why the roads could not maintain rates, “re- lied that “there are four trunk lines to New York and only business: for one.” there are halt a doze more in course of construction, while there is ness but for two.
