Outs and Slashes in Every Direction, ’ Cuieaco, September 23, —The war on | pussenger rates between Chicago and Louisville will take a broader range to morrow, and m view of the new pointsto be included, it is believed that a number s [of other lines than the Pan Handle to [ Louisville, New Albany and Ch must by drawn into ity and it is impossi ble to where they will stop. The | Louisville, New Albany & Chicago will commn © in the morning running via the Air Line a solid train, including pal ace and Pullman cars, on a schedule of one hour shorter time than trains are now making between Chicago and that point, and the fare will be but at $1.00, which is a cut of four dollars and fifty conts on regular rate, Hereaf- ter trains will be run on this rate at8:00 in the morning, 5:00 evening, ranning via Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and will also sell tickets to leading points in com- petition with the Pan Handle at the fol- lowing rates: Cincinnati §4.60, Colum- bus §6.40, Dayton $4.30, Springfiold 45,00, Urbana $5.20.
