DIVERSION OF THE GRAIN TRADE Causing the Eastern Roads Con- siderable Anxiety. RUMORS AS TO THE B. & O. A meeting of the board of control of the Joint Traffic Association, which is com- posed of the presidents of the various trunk lines ussociated in the organization, has been called to meet in New York tomorrow, and it is expected that much business of a very important character will be trans- acted. ‘There is much uneasiness on the part of prominent railroad men throughout the country as to the future of the Joint Traffic Association, especially in view of the ac- tivity of the Baltimore and Ohio and its large increase of traffic, and there are ru- mors continually afloat to. the effect that the association is on the verge of dismem- berment, or, at least, reconstruction. A prominent official of the latter, who is also a member of the-board of managers, said today, in speaking on this subject: “I do not apprehend that the association is in any danger. The terms of the agreement bind the parties to it for a period of five years, and I have not heard that any road desires to withdraw. “We have clearly prescribed means of en- forcing our rules, and as yet no order of the beard has been disregarded. Our rules provice for the imposition of penalties for offenses proved against any member, but as yet we have not found it necessary to impose any penalties. Charge of Rate-Cutting. “The Baltimore and Ohio happens to be the road most recently accused of rate cut- ting. A sudden and extraordinary increase in the east-bound tonnage of the Baltimore and Ohio supplied the basis for the report that the joint traffic rules were being ig- nored in that particular quarter. In spite of the explicit denials by the Baltimore and Ohio management, the rumor still keeps up a floating existence. Receiver and Vice President Oscar G. Murray explains the in- crease in the business of his road by show- ing that the facilities of the line for hand- ling traffic have been greatly increased by the organization of new methods and the purchase of a large number of new cars, “The board of managers is constantly considering complaints, some of a general and some of a specific nature. Probably two-thirds of the applieations gor relief thus far considered by the board were in relation to the operation of special or com- modity rates, which were filed by the dif- ferent lines prior to the exercise of author- ity by the joint traffic managers. These commodity rate schedules will expire March 31, 1897, and applications for their renewal will be acted on by the board, which now has power to decide as to the advisability of their renewal. I am of the opinion that the association has accomplished much good. It has held the trunk lines together during a very dull business period Diversion of the Grain Trade. From another source it is learned that the Joint Traffic Association is seriousty considering means whereby the constant and increasing diversion of the grain trade from Boston, } York and Philadelphia to southern ports can be stopped. ‘Thus far the trcutle complained of has not af- fected the port of Baltimore, but there are fears that if the standard rates fixed by the association are adhered to the last named port will also be a loser through the course of some of the western roads. The Joint Traffic Association proposes, it is sald, if possible, to put a check on the Lilinois Central, the Southern Pacific and other lines which are making such strenuous and successful efforts to. di- vert to gulf ports freights which have here- tofore moved to the Atlantic seaboard, and it is said the business men of the three eastern cities named have at last convinced the board of managers that unless something is done at once to pre- vent this great diversion the further su- premacy of eastern seaports will fall. New York people in particular are he ing stirred to increasing activity by eacn 8 eeding tonnage report, and a merchant who is fully conversant with the situa- tion says. “When New York takes third place in the shipment of corn, as It has done this year, with New Orleans in the lead, its dealers think something should be done. When railroad magnates realize the shrinkage in receipts which this state of affairs indicates they, too, beifeve some- thing should be done. Western roads have in vain tried to meet the issue, but with- out the assistance of their eastern con- nections nothing of importance could be done.” It is sald that not a bushel of grain is now being shipped from Kansas points to or via Chicago to eastern seaports, and much cf the Nebraska grain ts also being shipped to the guif. It is understood that the only hope western roads have to re- tain some of the trans-Missouri export grain traffic is that the large ocean steam- ers will fird it unprofitable to run to the gulf ports on account of the great dis- tance and the increased risk of going through the Florida Keys. What Receiver Murray Says. Speaking of the above rumors in refer- ence to the Baltimore and Ohio the follow- ing may be regarded as Mr. Murray's posi- tion on the much mooted question as to whether or not the Baltimore and Ohio has been cutting rates. “Now, boys, we have provided you with good facilities in the way of carrying and we want you to get the busi- This was a part of what Receiver Oscar G. Murray of the Baltimore and Ohio said to his: freight soliciting agents a short time ago, but the rest of his remarks were much more emphatic, and are said to have been very influential in doubling the Baltl- more and Ohio's east-bound tonnage out of Chicago. “I have,” continued Mr. Murray, “put you all on trial for one year. If you cannot increase the business of the company to its proper proportions in your respective dis- tricts, you will have to get out. And, re- member, too, that the tariff rates of the Joint Traffic Association must be main- tained.” “I see,” continued Mr. Murray, talking to The Star reporter, “that reports are siill flying about that the Baltimore and Ohio is ignoring the Joint Traffic Association, and by some hook or crook is getting more traffic than it is rightfully entitled to, es- pecially east-bound. Certainiy, if we were cutting the rates I should be aware of It, and I give you my word zuat every pound of freight we have is being carried and for at full tariff rates. en our strongest competiters ac- knowledge that, and while frequent com plaints have been made io the board of managers, none of them have been based on anything but the meres: rumors, and the managers will tell” you that time and again I have offered to place afetheir dis- vosal eur books and bills to disprove all such charges. “When our corzpetitors fail to find us cutting rates trey turn about and say we are absorbing charges at the terminals, but we are not. We are conducting business square and above board, and if we ure get- ting more tonnage than formerly it is be- cause we are dealing fair with shippers, giving them good service, and because the employes of the road are straining every nerve to get business. “We are not running the Baltimore end Ohio on sentiment, but aim to make it a money-making property, and, regaruless of all reports to the.contrary, we are. main-: taining rates and living up strictly to the Joint Traffic agreement. It has been said that when we were accused by the ma:i- agers of unfair methods we have re- plied that the old management of the road was a party to the agreement, and that the receivers were not, and were not bound by it. “In the first place we-have never been ac-, cused by the managers of illegal methods of manipulation of rates, and in the second place we have never tried to make it ap- pear that the receivers were not a party to. the agreement. The Baltimore and Ohio ts today as much a party to the Joint Traffic Association as it was when that body was first created, gt¥\aw:remty to live up to its legislation as-any“member of the associa- tion.” > ale : THE VO' 3£9R, PRESIDENT.

Inflicted) om the Beautiful Marquette Statue. A recent and génspicpéus case of van- dalism in public buildings is the damage which has teen wrought.upon tae beauti- ful Marquette statue at the Capitol. It is the more pronounced intthis case from the 4 fact that the vandalidni occurred notwith- standing the careful’and constant watch which has been kept upon this magnificent werk of urt since its installation in statu- ary hall. ‘The hall has never been kept unguarded since the statue was set up, and has even cen watched by detectives in citizens’ clothes. In spite of all this, however, the relic-sceking public have managed to get in their work. Ihe bronze figures of Indians on the pedestal have in a number of in- stances been alped. The feathers and headdress of the figures, pieces of delicate bronze, have been broken off and carried away. The officials of the Capitol building are aware how difficult it is to prevent acts of vandalism in public places, and are very apprehensive of serious damage to the new Injury library pullding if great crowds are al- lowed to congregate ther Important Pension Ralings. ‘There are’ several important rulings in the administration of the pension laws made in recent decisions of Assistant Sec- retary of the Interior Reynolds. One of them is that a desertion from the regular army under an enlistment subsequent to a service and honorable discharge from the rebellion is not a bar to pension under the act of June 27. The original holdings of the previous administration in first constru- ing this act and all subsequent decisions have been overruled, because the honorabie discharge contemplated under that act is from a service in the war of the rebellion only. It is reiterated that in harmony with the plain terms ofthe June act and all previous decisions dishonorable discharge operates as a bar to pension to the soldier or his widow and children under that act, but it is not a bar to such pension under the general law for disabilities contracted in the service or for death from causes originating therein. This is in line with a long-established practice. To Conduct a Speed Trial. At the request of the Mexican minister, Lieutenant Commander B. H. Buckingham and Naval Constructor R. P. Hobson of the navy have been detailed to assist Prof. George R. McDermott of Cornell Univer- sity in conducting a speed trial of a light house steamer bullt for the Mexican gov- ernment by Neafie & Levy of Philadelphia.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Strong Complaint of the Condition of the City Streets. EFFORTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS Young Ladies Who Will Become Trained Nurses. MANY LOCAL NOTES ge OFFICE OF THE EVENING STAR, 121 North Washington Street, ALEXANDRIA, Va., December 16, 1896. Much interest is being manifested in the Proposed excursion from the valley of Vir- Binia to this city, and the merchants and others will make every effort to make it a great success and of great benefit to the city. It has been suggested that the city streets be taken up for actice considera- tion. “Certainly,” said a prominent citizen lately, “no one is going to locate in Alex- andria when the strects are so thoroughly rough and such an eyesore. Some of the streets are paved with cobbles nearly a foot in diameter, and in many instances they are otherwise rough—some squares never having been touched since they were paved nearly half a century ago. Wash- irgton street, the principal residence street, is extremely rough and uneven, and is only paved for a few squares, while King street is rough, and, with the tracks of the elec- tric railway running down its center, is not a good place for heavy hauling. Prince and Cameron steets, which could be used in Neu of King, are both rough and uneven, especiallly so the squares on Prince street from Washington to the river, and on Cameron from Washington to the. river. The authorities seem loth to use the broken stone in the jail yard for macadamizing Furposes, and further do not: make much of a success in having it broken up by the large influx of tramps, whose services could be used for this purpose, but it has been said these tramps will not work. The rem- edy has been suggested in the whipping post, which the city fathers, if they would but wake up for a wiile, could pass, and it is believed that a dose of rawhide rightly administered would have a wholesome ef- fect. There is talk on all sides of electing in the spring a council that will not take as its motto “As it was in the beginning, is low and ever shall be, world without end.” Trained Nurses. Alexandria has added its quota to the large number of trained nurses who are today giving such valuable aid in caring for the sick. First among the number was Mrs. Carrie Marshall, who has spent a number of years in this work. Among others are Miss Mai Abler, Miss Mary Bryan, and yesterday Miss Lucy Minni- gerode left for New York, where she will enter the training school for nurses of Bellevue Hospital to fit work. ‘These young ladies have been all promi- nent members of Alexandria Society, but decided to give up the gay and giddy whirl and devote their lives to a calling more useful.

Charles had been drinking all day and was in an ugly mood and wanted to whip everybody that he came in contact with. Officer Davis was Ingormed of what the man was doing and proceeded to the depot and placed him under arrest. All the way to the station house the negro yelled at the top of his voice, which attracted a great deal of at- tention, and a large crowd followed to the station house. This morniag he was fined $5 by Mayor Thompson, and not having the necessary change he will spend his Christ- Notes. The funeral of the late Mrs. L. A. Ca- sanova took place on_ Seminai! Hill at noon today. The interment was private. Tramps attempted to “hold up” Mr. Chas. Appich Tuesday night. They were not successful, however.

Mushbach has gone to Cincinnati dn legal busines: L. W. Corbett, formerly of in Denver, Col. The Matinee Euchre Club met at the resi- dence of Mrs. Wm. B. Daingerfield this afternoon. There are several tramps at the station house on the bread and water diet for re- fusing to work. Rev. J. A. Marstella, who recently ac- cepted a call to Hereford, Md., will preach his first sermon there Sunday morning. Miss Sallie V. Daingerfield has gone to Baltimore. Mrs. Wm. H. F.

The Boston Athenaeum possesses an in- teresting collection of over 300 volumes from the library of George ‘Vashington. These were acquired in 1848 from Henry Stevens for $3,800, spbscribed by about sev- enty gentlemen in Boston, Cambridg, and Salem. A careful catalogue of these books has recently been compiled by Mr. A. P. Griffin, formerly of the Boston publ. library and now of the Lenox Nbrary in New York. He has examined all of Wush- ington’s letters in the State Department at Washington, in Philadelphia, Boston, and elsewhere, and made notes of all passages in them relating to his books and the condi- tions under which they were obtained. The catalogue, which will shortly be published, includes, in addition to the books which were owned by Washington, a number of others formerly belonging to Judge Bushrod Washington and other members of the family, and the large coltection of Wash- ingtoniana which the Athenaeum has grad- ually collected. It is intended to add, in an appendix, the list of Washington’s books as givea in the arpralser's inventory filed in the orphans’ court of Fairfax county, Virginia. This list shows about a thousand volumes, ard most of the books i the At:naeum col- lection can be identified on it in spite of the brief and imperfect titles given. —+oo—. Edward A.
