Within the last week or two freight business on this division of the Vandalia has shown a degree of activity Quite unusual to the division This is due to the fact a a large amount of business that was formerly routed over the main line to St. Louis has since the WorM's business commences in earnest 6een routed over the Peorla division, leaving the main line as clear as possible for passenger business.

Several additional freight engines and crews have been assigned to vision. The business goes out ot Peo- rla by the Rock Island and other lines. Boy Engineer Killed.

John Brew- the engine foreman, was killed at the same time. Blind Can Travel.

At the Mattoon shops all of the men returned to work yesterday morning, acting in accordance with their decision at a meeting the night before. At Freeport one returned to work. It is held that.the strike was a violation of the boiler makers' contract with the company and that the in the Clinton and Mattoon shops went out reluctantly upon an order of the committee. This order, it Is claimed, the committee had no right to issue upon a vote of the entire membership of the union and that the strike was not warranted. President John McNeil of the boiler makers' union also disapproves of the strike and Kays It Is without authority.

Under these circumstances it Is likely that the strike will be of short duration. RAILROAD GOSSIP. The Wabash lunch room has instructions to prepare sixty box lunches for a party on the first section of train No. 9 Monday morning M. J.

D. Passenger Man Compares Rates and Time Schedule Figures. Decatur, June of The Review: In an article in The Review of yesterday you did this railway a seeming injustice by stating that it is against the town and has arranged train service to hurt Decatur. There is no reason why this should be so. and I assure you it Is not, and I assume you will give this correction as prominent space as the article with double display headlines to which I refer.

We have a train leaving Mt. Auburn 8-23 a. arriving Decatur 9 a. m. Returning leave Decatur 1:15 p.

arriving Mt. Auburn at 1:50 p. giving four hours and fifteen minutes at Decatur; regular round trip rate $1.15. To Springfield train leaves Mt. Auburn at 9-35 a.

arriving 10:30 a. m. Returning, leave Springfield -at 3:30 p. arriving Mt A at 4 2 2 p. allowing five hours at Springfield: regular round trip rate, $1.35.

The trip to Decatur is made in half a day, and in the best part of the day for the morning, returning home in time for dinner. It takes practically the entire day to go to Springfield from Mt. Auburn, and passengers have only i minutes' more time" at Springfield, and the rate is 20 cents higher. Considering the hour of arrival, the slight difference in length of time allowed at each place, and the lower rate to Decatur, the advantage if any is largely favor of Deoatur. The schedule of trains on any railroad can not be arranged to suit any one station, but the object is to give the very best possible service to all stations on the line There is certainly no effort on the part of this railway to favor Springfield at the expense of Decatur.

There was a meeting of North Union street property owners at Ehrhart's grocery Friday evening to talk over the matter of a street paving from Eldorado street north to Marietta street It was found that the petition for- a brick paving was 1.796Vi feet of frontage: the amount required, was 1,602 feet. There were at the meeting and Thomas Sly wail made chairman. CONCRETE FOUNDATION. In talking over the matter It was decided that the board of local Improvements would likely turn down a petition asking for a gravel foundation under a brick street. It was decided to amend the petition so as to leave with the board of local improvements the privilege of substituting a four-inch concrete foundation if It thinks best.

The limit of the cost of the paving was increased in the petition from $1.22 a square yard to $1.42. All of those at 1 the meeting signed the amendment to the petition. The document was presented, to the board of local Improvements today. It Is figured that the cost of the improvement will be about $2.50 for each front foot of property. Block brick are to be used.

DO WORK THIS TEAR. Win Hunt did a heavy part of the work in passing the petition to get signatures. It is thought the petition is now In such form that it will pass the board of local Improvements, for members of it have expressed themselves as favorable to a brick pavement, provided there Is a concrete foundation. The work will be done this year. Illlopolis, June of the Epworth league gave an Ice cream and strawberry supper In the basement of the M.
