The rallrod people of our cltv And
great difficulty in making satisfactory
arrangements with the patrons, and n
general feeling of dissatisfaction Is pre-
valent amoug the merchants. Let us
hope that some arrangement, impartial
and commensurate to ihe interests of both
parties w ill be arrived at, thus avoid-
ing a repetition of those occurrence*
which have happened of late, by which
some of our merchants have taken ad-
vantage of the lower freight rates to this
place for shipments destined to points
south of Villa Lerdo, ou the Mexican
Central railroad.
Our city is the largest railroad centre
11 this territory, and the El Paso mer-
chant should have some advantages in
freight- Thev are undoubtedly entitled
to supply the surrounding country to a
large extent, and it is surprising that the
railroad companies instead of favoring
our city with cheap rates, should dis-
criminate against it in an unreasonable
way. Take as an instance the rates
which our merchants have to pay from
St. Louis:
Iron, per 100 pound*, $2.40, for less
than a carload; and $2.15 if a carload.
Candles, per 100 pounds, §2.80, for less
tian a carload; and $2.40 if a carload.
Canned goods, per 100 pounds, $2.40
for less than a carload; and 82.15 if a cur-
io id.
Printing paper per 100 pounds, #3.30
for less than a carload; and 82.40 if a car-
loa I.
And if shipments go to Villa Lerdo,
the rates from St. Louis to El Paso are
Per hundred pounds, regardless of
quantity, iron 85 cts.; candles 97 cts.;
canned g mils 85 cts.; printing paper 97
ct-*. releised and $1.12 not released.
About the same difference occurs with
other merchandise.
El Paso should have the privilege of the
same rates which the railroad company
illow for points beyond, au l the mer-
chants can not be cxpected to pay cheer-
fully a three times higher rate than those
stablishcd for other places, through a
whimsical arrangement by which our
legitimate trade must suffer.
Merchant.
la regard to the aboye complaining
communication from a leading merchant
the Times desires to say that our corres-
pondent labors under a misapprehension.
The Mexican Central makes absolutely
no discrimination against any place, and
more particularly not against El Paso.
But the rates of freight from far-off east-
ern and northern points are controlled by
the initial lines there, and ate beyond the
Mexican Central's control. We are as-
sured by Mr. King, the general freight
agent of the road, that if St. Louis freight
goes south ot Villa l^erdo at the same
rate than El Paso freight does Ji<j cannot
help it- The initial and connecting lines
make the cut, while the Mexicau Central
treats all alike aud makes no discrimina-
tion for or against any place. In their
agreement with the railroad freight pool
they get the same rates for St. Louis
freights from El Pasri down than they do
for El Pa6o freight from the El Paso
merchants.

Charles Wheeler appeared befo'e the
mayor yesterday to answer for drunken-
ness and disorderly conduct, aud was
fined $5 and costs.
Mr. B. H. Hopper, a partner in the
house of Lockhart, Hopper Bros. A Co.,
hardware merchants of Demlng, New-
Mexico, Is registered at the Grand Cen-
tral.
The cUtle inspector of the New Mexi-
co Cattle association. Mr. John H. Riley,
is in town and stopping at the Grand
Central. Mr. Riley's headquarters are
in Santa Fe, and he has come down on
an inspecting tour.
As will be seen by a notice elsewhere,
D. C. Bowen has severed his connection
with the Herald Publishing Company.
He made during his stay in El Paso many
filends and proved himself a thorough-
going printer aud a good newspaper
man. We hope he will soon get into the
harness again, for the profession needs
good materia), such as he Is made of.
Colonel Joe Ilampson has had for some
time past the pleasure of a visit from his
two sisters. The ladies were well pleas-
ed with El Paso, and their stay at the
Grand Central Hotel has been a very
agreeable one, both to themselves and
many friends and acquaintances they
made. Last night they left for a trip to
the City of Mexico, and we hope that
their visit to the land of the Astecs will
be fraught with pleasant reminiscences.
Mamie Rawling, keeper of a home of
ill-fame, was arraigned befure the May-
or's court yesterday morning, and fined
810 and costs for violating the city ordi-
nance bearing on her case. Bet attorney
intends to bring the case up before Judge
Falvey on a wi lt of habeas corpus, claim-
ing that the city ordinance is defective
and invalid, as it conflicts with the state
laws regulating the penalty for such of-
fences.
We are sorry to learn that Tom Wes-
ton, the son of our well-known citizen
Isdali Weston, is quite ill at his father's
residence. He is still suffering from the
effects of the over-exertion he was im-
prudently guilty of before and during
the late firemen's OTuru5meiif, and his
complaint has for the past few days been
aggravated by a severe case of fever. His
many friends are constantly calling on
him and trying to alleviate his sufferings,
and we trust that he will soon be all
right again.
M. S. L. Matheson,formerly with Hoag
<fc Ward, has accepted a position with L.
B. Freucienthal tc Co., whose constantly
increasing trade demanded an addition
to their clerical force. This enterprising
firm carries on its operations on so vast a"
scale, and is so readily cognizant of an
atteution to the wants and demands of the
market that its business is acquiring pro-
portions of telling magnitude, and is fast
reaching all available points of trade.
The register of the Plerson Hotel

the district of Batopilas, Chihuahua,

esting family event, the marriage ot her
two eldest daughters, who are now on
their honeymoon travels, called Mrs.
Shephard to the .Hates; the governoi not
having been able to accompany her,
owing to the great pressure of the large
and important interests which he is
managing so ably in the heart of the
