AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. . Freight Ilasliieea Improving . The train records show that in the reek ending March 8 thero were received and forwarded at Indianapolis 1,341 moro loaded cars than in the week previous, and the exhibit would have been even more favorable had not tho liig Four, in tho early part of the week, been troubled at Cincinnati by the high waters, which shut business out of that city foe three days. There was a healthy increase in car-movement with all tho Pennsylvania lines over the preceding week, and with tho St Louis and Cloveland divisions of the Big Four. Eastward there was a heavier movement of grain, and export business is increasing somewhat. The shipments of livo stock were heavier, and a sharp increase in through business, east-bound, is looked for tho coning week. As usual in March, the westbound tonnage increases in volume, and with all lines there ;a a brisk west-bound traffic, made np largely of dry goods, fancy notions, millinery, and the shipments of the heavier groceries have increased of late. Traffic .over the north-and-sonth roads averages well with former years, the shipments or ice southward making up for any loss in shipments of grain. Agricultural implements aro forming an unusually large proportion of the shipments in all directions, which indicates, freight men say, that the farmers are prosperous. Local business is seldom as heavy in March as it has been the week past: more especially is this remark true as regards the last three days, as at most of the city freight depots clerks and platform men have been working overtime to get the freights off promptly. The out-bound freight consists of machinery, furniture, dry goods and groceries largely, and in quantities which show that all the manufactories and merchants are pushing business. Freight men, after surveying the tieid. express the opinion that for the next ninety days the roads centenng here are to do the best local business in their history, and this class of traffic yields tho largest revenue to the roads. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending March 8. as compared with the corresponding weeks of 18S9and 18S&

The Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis Railroad Company derives a large rove nue from its suburban travel between New Albany, Jeffersonville and Louisville. Superintendent Black, in his annual report, allows that, in the year 18S9, 54,4-11 trains passed over the bridge. Out of this large number but 1,837 arrived at terminals late, and in nearly every case where there was a late train it was delayed by the .draw in the bridge crossing the Ohio river. In the year 1889 there were hauled in passenger trains 95.C02 coaches, against 92,247 in 1883. The increase in freight traffic is fully as marked as in the suburban business. Over the bridge, south bound, there were moved last year 62.833 loaded cars, an increase over 1888 of 5,531 cars; north bound, 27,430 cars. There were 44,101 loaded cars received from connections, and 42,347 delivered to connections during 1S&9, the first being an increase over 18S3 of 8,800, and tho second an increase of 9,72a There were 32.823 loaded freight cars handled during 1889 on the J., M. & I., aa against 118,357 in 1888. Personal, Local and General Notes. The entire freight equipment of the Cairo division of tho liig Four is boing sent to the Indianapolis car-works to be rebuilt. The Chicago.Burlington &, Quincy last week ordered from the Westinghouse Airbrake Company 7,630 sets of freight-car brakes. There were transferred over the Belt road last week 14.053 cars, against 12,405 in the corresponding week of 18S9; increase this year, 1,588 cars. Last week two riremen on tho Chicago division of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne fc Chicago road drew $110 as premiums for the most economical use of coal. The Wabash people expect, through the lengruening oi uivisions, to bring about a saving of from 3 to 5 per cent, in operating expenses ueiweeu at. iouis ana xoieao. The freight department of tho Lake Erie &. Western road earned in tho year 1S89 n total of $1,573,240.29: of this sum $887,940.43 was from local freights, and $CS7,299.8C through business. j nrougu snipmenis or live scock are on tho increase. Last week Belt-road engines handled 8C6 car-loads, against G92 car-loads in the corresponding week of 1889; increase this year, 174 cars. A large delegation of the Order of Rail way Conductors went to Frankfort. Ind., yesterday, and organized a division of the order. The Monon furnished tho delega tion ireo transportation. The Now York Central has abandoned the experiment oi running its passenger conductors on tno last trams through be tween New York and Buffalo. It was fonnd to be too much work for one man. . The Toledo !t Ohio Central company has cieciarea a aiviuena oi i-2 per cent, on its preferred stock. This year live Ohio roads nave wheeled into line as dividend-paying j T.i; ruauB, aim luree juuiaca roaus. Tho reduced passonger rates to Western ana Northwestern points go Into effect to1 day. It is feared that the lowest rate has not yet been touched, so bitter is the feel ing between the roads which inaugurated tne rate war. The Baltimore & Ohio will soon be in tho market for six thousand new freight cars. twenty-five passenger coaches and thirty locomotives, lo be distnhiited on the eastern and western lines, tho business of the company all over its systnn being far in excess of the equipment. v . F. fehaw, the former president of the Columbus &, Hocking Valley railroad, is now in Mexico, and has the contract to build a portion of the Monterey &. Mexican Gulf road. This road is located where mahogany and rosewood timber is so plentiful that it is used for cross-ties. The Big Four paid par for preferred stock to secure control of the Whitewater read, and S3 cents on the dollar for the common stock to an amount snfticient to secure full control. The common stock of the road amounts tot975,000, the preferred stock to $325,000. The stock purchased was paid for in Big Four 4 per cent, bonds. It was thought that when all the roads made the basis of CO cents per hundred pounds from Chicago to Missouri river points, tho practice of manipulating rauis would be stopped, but reports show that they are moro demoralized than ever, and the trouble is reaching into new territory and bid.s fair to allect business out of Indianapolis. The Big Four has received since the-1st of the month onethousandtons of uew steel rails, weighing sixty-seven pounds to the yard, and has laid it west from Shelby ville, on tho Cincinnati division. This week 2.200 tons more will be received, and when this is in the track from Shelby ville to the Indianapolis yards the road will be laid with this heavy steel. With the doini? away with party rates it is said that the iniltMtro.book is to be used on many roadn with more freedom, although under association iigreenients they cannot beon oil roads, (lonductors are instructed to guard airainst the use of mileaco-books by any other persons than those whoso signatures aro attached, but this vigilanco on some roads hKliecomo a dead letter. The locomotive electric head-licht. which is tl in vrution of an Indianapolis Mechanic, bids fyir to givi Indianapolis as much prominence as has the WestinghoitNC :ir-b.-;ike given I'M Mlmrjr inventors. The mperinteiident i If 1JJ'ab s!i ha ordered two of its eugiactLuipycd with them.

and if the test is satisfactory, which it, doubtless, will be, it will be placed on all that companj?s passenjrer engines. Superintendent Neilson. of the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton, has ordered several engines equipped with it, and present indications are that witnin the next fow months the question will be how to furnish them fast enough. In railroad circles there is a good deal of nnfriendly feeling toward the Chicago, Burlington & Northern road, which has brought on this ugly rate war. As this road can get no increase in business when all its competitors meet its cuts, and as each reduction in the tariff simply means loss in revenue withont any compensating advantage (unless it should be found in the stock market), it become a question whether the managers of the C. B. t N. are competent to handle the road. Twenty or more general ticket and passenger agents, many of- thera accompanied by their wives, passed through the city from Cincinnati and the Southeast, en route, to Chicago to join the general ticket and passenger agents, who will leave that city this morning on a special train for the City of Mexico to attend the annual meeting of the association. At Hot Springs, on. Wednesday, the party will bo given a banQuet at the expense of the Missouri Pacitic road, and the management of all the roads which the party passes over have given instructions that everything possible shall he done to make their trip a pleasant one. The train on which they travel will consist of one baggage car, two commisary cars, one dinning car and six Pullman sleeping coaches, the entire train being vestibuled. The work of examining the watches of train-men on the recently acquired divisions of the Big Four is to bo commenced on the 15th of this month. A 25-cent charge is made for each examination. The standard is thus explained: "The minimum standard of excellence for watches now in service shalltbeof a grade equal to what is generally known among American movements as the 'fifteen jeweled patent regulator, adjusted.' While the minimum quality is fixed for safety, it should be borne in mind that the finer finished movements are more reliable for railway servico: therefore, the company will require all new

watches going into service to be of the higher grades; and as twelve is tho starting point for reckoning time, watches put up in open-face cases must wind at figure XII.77 Knights of Pythias. Olive Branch Lodge conferred the second rank upon ten applicants Saturday nignt. Applications for new lodges are promised from seven different towns for the coming week. During the month of lebruary, war rants for seventeen divisions of the U. K. wero issued. Indianapolis Lodse held a special meet ing Saturday night to receive applications for membership. During the year 1880 seventy-four new lodges wero organized in Ohio, and the net gam in membership exceeded hve thou sand. West Indianapolis Lodge has received forty-four applications 6ince its organiza tion, last month. Most of tne applicants have received the lirst and second ranks. Center Lodge has sent in an application for a division of the U. K., and it will be instituted as soon as uniforms can be Srocured. This will give Indianapolis six ivisions. New lodzes will be organized at Corrnnna and Marengo on the 12th, and at Zionsville on tho 25th inst During the past week ap plications were also received by the G. K. of K. and S. for a lodge at Worthington and for the reorganization of Cory don Lodge. Dana Lodge was organized at Dana. Ver million connty, on Monday last, by Grand 1'relate .Llmer J? Y llaams, of Terre Haute, and the G. K. of R. S., Frank Bowers. The charter list contained the names of fiftytwo applicants, thirty-live of whom were initiated. Visiting members were present from Terre Haute, Newport. Clinton. Mar shall, and other points. Capt. W. L. lleiskell will visit Milwaukee the coming week by invitation of the sev eral lodges in that city and exemplify the rank work. Elaborate preparations have been made for his assistants, and the indications are that the occasion will be a memorable one in the Pythian circles of the northwest. The Grand Lodge of Wiscon sin will be present as a body. The work will also be given in the hall of Banner Lodge of Chicago on Friday night, the Mil waukee team accompanying the Captain to tu at city ana assisting. General Carnahan. Col. Ben C. Wricht. Col. A. D Vanosdol and Maj. Frank Bowers, of Indiana, and representative officers oi nearly every other brigade of the U. IL. will visit Milwaukoe during the week on an inspecting tour. , and to perfect arrange ments for the biennial encampment of the U. 1L during the session of the Supreme Lodge in Jnly next. Camp arrangements will be made for the accommodation of 15,000 sir knights. The meetings of the Suprome jLouge can together tne representative men from every State in the Union, and the attendance at these meetings means moro than a hundred thousand people as visitors for a week or more. Indianapolis should ask for the session of 1892. and thereby possibly secure permanent headquarters for the order. Arranging a Bay "Window. Pittsburg Chronicle. Some one of the new ways of trimming bay windows are very pretty, and a pleasing relief from the old-fashioned formal lace curtains. Thin silk curtains are hung, at the window, and looped back, but they do not hang right to the floor, only coming about a foot below the window-frame. Across the top of the bay a transom is lixed, about a foot deep; this is filled either with a wooden lattico or with colored glass. Moorish or Japanese fret-work is sold by the foot for transoms and screens, but the colored glass, which is extremely artistic, can be arranged at a small cost by an ingenious woman. About two inches below, the glass a brass rod is fixed from which curtains are hung. The light shows so prettily through the stained glass, and it gives a handsome finish to the room. A bay window, arranged like this, makes a cozy nook when a low seat is run around it, a sort of divan, fitting into the 6hape of the window. It should have a mattress cushion on top, edged with a frill, and a valance falling to the ground. Tho covering might be of an artistic chintz. Such a seat, when made in the form a locker, is a good place for the storage of loose hooks and pamphlets, which are apt to accumulate very untidily in a living room. About Oats. Journal of Agriculture. Good oats are clean, hard, dry, sweet, heavy, plump, full of Hour, and rattle like shot, says an exchange. They have a clean and almost metallic lnster. Each oat in a well-grown sample is nearly of the samo size. There are but few small or imperfect grains. The hard pressure of the nail on an oat should leave little or no mark. The kernel, when pressed between tho teeth, should clip rather than tear; the skin should be thin. The size of tho kernel will be less in proportion than the skin is thick. The color of the oat is not very material, but white oats are generally thinner in the skin than black. Again, black oats will grow on inferior soils. Short plump oats are preferable to large, long grams. Bearded oats must have an excess of husk. Oats are not necessarily bad because they are thin-skinned or bearded, but they must contain a less amount of Hour per bushel than thin-skinned oats without beards. Havo you freckles, those horrid littlo brown spots which mar the prettiest face? If so, scrape horseradish into a cup of cold, tour milk; let it 6tand twelve hours, strain and apply two or three times a day. Some prefer to wash the skin at night with elder llower and apply an ointment made by simmering gently one ounce of Venice soap, quarter of an ounce of deliquated oil of tartar, and an ounce of oil of bitter almonds. When it renuires consistency, three drops of oil of rhodium may be added. Wash the ointment off in the morning with rose water. e A better time than winter for clearing out and eradicating old berry fields cau hardly be found. The eld canes can be readily mowed off close to the ground with a broad bush scythe, then with a coarse wooden rake drawn into piles and burned. After plowing deeply a thorough cross-harrowing will bring up all tho roots and stubs not sulicieutly buried, and these, when dried, may readily be gathered and burned. Orchard and Garden.

Gregory and John R. Ewing were arrested this afternoon on the chargo of robbing Wells, Fargo & Co. of $212 two months ago. The men confessed to haying engaged in a plot contemplating an extensive system of robbery. Gregory was formerly a messenger in the employ of Wells, Faro fc Co., but resigned his position last December. Before doing so, however, ho obtained a key which would unlock the treasure boxes of the company, and another key which would give him access to express cars. He took Ewing into his confidence, and on Jan. 5 last they boarded the ferry-boat at Oakland, and while Gregory kept watch, Ewing climbed into tho express wagon while the driver was standing nt the horses' heads, unlocked tho treasurebox and extracted packages containing $212, which the men escapod with. While Gregory was in the employ of tho companyho secured the combinations of about forty safes in the country otliceS of the company, and the men next attempted to rob safes at Petaluma, Santa Rosa and Sacramento, but were unsuccessful, owing to the combinations having been changed. They then engaged tho services of another mrfn, whose name is unknown, and formed a plan to "hold up" one of the express messengers on the overland train on its arrival at Oakland. Their courage failed them as they were about to execute this plan. Gregory and Ewing next went to Eathrop to rob an express car there, and wero planning to go to Fresno for the same purpose when they were arrested. Asphyxiated by Coal Gas. New York, March a Smith K. Baylis, of Melville, L. I., and his wife and young child retired at the usual hour Thursday night. They were not seen about the house to-day, and the absence of life around the place led some of the neighbors to investigate. When they entered the house they were almost overcome by the fumes of coal gas which filled every room. Makiug their way upstairs, they entered the sleeping appartment of Mr. and Mrs. Bay lis and were horror-stricken to find the latter dead in bed and her husband unconscious and breathing heavily. The child was found under the bed-clothes and and had suflered little from the effects of the coal gas. The windows in the whole house were opened' and Mr. Baylis removed to another room. A messenger in the meantime was sent after Dr. Ilayden, of Farmingdale, and when he reached the house he made a hasty examination of Mr. Baylis and pronounced the condition of tho patient critical Every effort was made to bring him back to consciousness, but withont avail. The child, which was cared for by the neighbors, undoubtedly escaped death by being under the bed-clothes. The doctor has strong hopes of saving the little one's life. The gas which cansed such havoc came from the parlor stove. The door had been accidentally, left open when the family retired on Thursday night, and the gas had escaped steadily until the fire burned out Zealous Guardians of the Ministry. Cumberland, Md., March 8. At the Baltimore M. E. Conference, to-day. Mr. II. Thurlow was announced for eldership, and passed well in his examination, which should have raised him to a preacher had it not been for the objection of Rev. Price, who said he had heard Mr. Thurlow was not adapted to the ministry. From this remark grew a heated discussiqo. Rev. George G. Baker, the presiding elder of the iredenck district, in which Rawlmgs, Mr. Thurlow's station, is located, took the part of the youthful pastor, and said he regarded him as a worthy candidate. When asked by a member whether he had heard anything about Mr. Thurlow, Mr. Baker said: "Yes, I have heard that he, when in the company of girls, was too frivolous, but may we not have all been frivolous when of his age?" . This caused a roar of laughter in the conference, which lasted for some time., The discussion waxed hot and was stopped by Bishop Merrill calling for a vote, which resulted against Mr. Thurlow, and he was continued for another year. Mr. Thurlow said to those around him: "Well, I don't think I'll stay. This treatment is unjust and I'll not remain in tho conference." He is about twenty-five years old. The name of Mr. Henry W. Jones was the next announced for eldership. He, too, whs continued on trial because he was "peculiar." Gladstone and Tyntlall. London', March 8. Recently, in one of his periodical diatribes against Mr. Gladstone, Prof. Tyndall asserted that the exPremier had gone so far as to characterize Pitt as a blackguard. Mr. Gladstone, who is not accustomed to notice tirades of the Tyndall variety, paid that gentleman the compliment of demanding his authority for the statement, whoreupon Mr. Tyndall has seized the opportunity to indulge in another burst of gratuitous vituperation. Though his reply to a simple qnestion might have been made in a dozen lines, Mr. Tyndall has inflicted upon Mr. Gladstone and the public a longand viciously-phrased letter reviewing Mr. Gladstone's speeches, wherein he attempts to show that tho latter has reviled Pitt's politics upon repeated occasions. Concluding, Mr. Tyndall says: "You waited until you were seventy-six years of age to study the Irish, aud suddenly blazed forth as an ubiquitous blastfurnace of sedition." Mr. Gladstone acknowledged this with a brief but sarcastic expression of hib thanks for the information requested, and the controversy, if it may be so dignified, is ended, much, it is assumed, to tho disgust of Tyndall. Kx-.Sultau Mm ad V. Special to the Imlianapolis Journal. London, March 8. The Berlin Tageblatt prints a special dispatch from Constantinople reporting the death of ex-Suitan Murad V, who succeeded his uncle Sultan Abdnl-Aziz on May CO, 18Trt, and was deposed in favor of h5s brother, the present hultan. on Aug. SI of tho same year. Murad was educated outside the harem and. in addition to the usual attaiiments he thus acquired, imbibed a disposition to institute reforms entirely at variance with the Moslem policy and traditions. His peculiar tendency soon attracted the attention of tho fthickh-ul-Islaru, who caused it to bo understood, true or not, that the Commander of the Faithful was insano. The exhibition of a desire to introduce reforms being most convincing evidence to the mind of a Turk of the insanity

of tho would-be reformer, Murad was accordineK deposed, after a. reign of three months. 'and has since, it is alleged, been confined in-a palace, though as nobody over afterward laid eyes on him it is widoly believed that his death occurred almost immediately after his det hronement. Nearly Six. Millions at Stake. Pittsburg. Pa., March 8. On Wednesday last the Orphans' Court issued a decree distributing the funds and securities of the estate of the late David Hostetter, of "bitters'' fame. The amount was $5.bW,459. After tho death of Dr. David Hostetter no will was found, consequently, in the court's decree, two sisters of Dr. David Hostetter, a Mrs. JStoner, of Allegheney, and a Mrs. Surury, a widow with five children, of Jancaster, Pa., find no share in their father's fortune. The two sisters have engaged counsel, and will make a a vigorous etlort to secure an equal share with the heirs of their deceased brother David. The claim upon which they will base the contest is that, in 1855 their father transferred his business to their brother without valuable consideration of any kind; that at tho time of this transferthefr father was incompetent to transact business, and therefore the transfer was illegal, and that they are legally entitled each to a one-third interest in their father's estate. Tho defense have engaged counsel in Washington and Philadelphia. Suit will be entered at an early date. Anderson Suffers by Fire Again.. , Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Anderson, Ind., March 8. The large grain-cradle and scythe-snathe factory of this city, belonging to T. C. Fisher, was

burned this morning at 4 o'clock, together with a large amount of finished stock, involving a loss of over $35,000. with but $15,000 insurance, distributed among the following companies: Union Mutual of Cincinnati, $4,000, and $11,000 in the London Assurance, AngloAevada. Traders', German-American of Freeport, California Fire Association, London and Lancashire, Underwriters of New York. Orient and Uoyal. . This is the third fire Mr. Fisher has sus tained within the past few years. He be lieves this to be tho work of incendiaries. An alarm was turned in at tho same moment from Kileore's large heading factory. bnt the lire was extinguished with but small loss. Coal Found Where It Is Badly Needed. Chamberlain, S. D., March 8. Another vein of soft coal was to-day discovered about eight miles south of the city. The vein was found in the high bluff on the west 6ide of the river, the bluff being large ly composed of chalk rock. The coal is of tho cannel variety and is rather light, owing to protracted exposure to the sun and air, but burns well and reduces to a white ash. The prospectors have staked off mineral claims and the necessary tools-will at once be secured for the development of tho find, and if tho indications as to quality hold good steps will be taken for the working of the vein. Tho discovery naturally excites considerable interest in this section of the State, as the fuel question is an important one east of the Missouri. Car-Service Managers Organize. Chicago. March 8. A ceneral organiza tion composed of tho managers of the various car-service associations in the United states was formed as a meeting here within the past few days, at which fifteen associations were repre sented and favorable communications re ceived from eight others. The name of the new organization is the National Associaif n llf ntifiava T fnraa of the Chicago association, was elected nresident. and E. E. Hill, of the Colorado association, secretary. It was decided that .the forty-eight hours' timo for unloading should bo reckoned from nour of arrival. aud not from hour of delivery of notice to sociation will be held at Cincinnati, June 25. The Indiana Dall League. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Peru. Ind.. March 8. H. T. Smith, organizer of the Indiana State League of Ball Clubs, arrived in this city to-night and with little etlort succeeded in securing a guarantee fund, placing Peru in the league for the coming season. The contract will probably be sictned Tuesday. " A representative was selected to attend the general meeting at Anderson Monday. The contract of Robert Berrybill, manager of the Marion team, was also signed to-night. This eliminates Wabash and Huntington. making the League" stand: Fort Wayne, ttlullton. Muncie. Anderson, Marion. Kokomo. Peru and Warsaw. It is probable that the Peru Gun Club will assist in making suitable srounds. in order to have their use this season for shooting tournaments. Peculiar and Terrible Accident. Denver. Col.. March 8. A peculiar ac cident occurred here this evening, which may cost a man his life. S. Eulltoffel, a laborer, while doing some repairs on one of the city cable lines, had bis legs close to a moving cable, which caught ono of them below tho knee and literally ground it off before - tho cable could be stopped. The power-house was six blocks away, and dur- . . . i 1 ing tne twenty minutes required to nomy the men there to stop the engines, the poor fellow's body was kept from being drawn and ground up by a dozen bystanders taking hold of his arms and clothing and with their united strength kept him from .being torn to pieces. - Railroads Win a Dig Tax Suit. San Francisco, CaL, March 8. In the actions begun by the fcjtate of California acainst the Central and Southern Pacitic companies, and other branches of the Southern Pacitic Company, to recovertaxes amounting to about 500,000, delinquent since 1880. the Supreme Court to-day decid ed in favor of the railroads, holding that the complaint of the State was defective. and that the sections of the political code which designate the mode of collection of railroad taxes, and under which the suits wero brought, are unconstitutional. IUUed a Magistrate. Vicksburg. Miss., March 8.- At 12:S0 a. m. Frank Kearney, a young merchant of Hardey Station, shot and killed James Fossett. a magistrate of Redwood, this county. Kearney was drinking, and had bis pistol out. I ossett, who had been near tho entrance of the saloon shaking dice, started toward Kearney, and when within a few feet of Kearney, the latter told him to come no further. Fossett pressed on, and Kearney fired, killing him instantly. The murderer was arrested. Defrauded Ills Partners of 800,000. New York, March 8. The Baeder. Glue Company, No. Pearl street, has been closed up by the sheriff on judgments aggregating S5-.000. The New York members of the concern say that the trouble . is caused by irregularities on the part of the Pittsburg partner, who, they say, raised money on the company's notes, and used the proceeds for his own benefit, to about 00,000. L. Haureth, the Pittsburg manager, confessed judgment on last Thursday to G. Meyer in the sum of 819,400. Matilda Ruby Dead, Aged 123. Louisville. Ky., March 8. Matilda Ruby died at Kay wick, Ky., yesterday, aged 123 years. Her mother, Charlotte Shuck, died at the same place five years ago. She was the nurse of James Lambkins, who stiil lives at the ago of eighty, and has the family Bible in which her birth is recorded in 1707. Wokcesteh, Mass., March 8. Mrs. Mary Johnson died at Hubbardston on Friday, need 101 years and twenty-three days. She was born at Salisbury, Vt. Fatal Spotted Fever. Nashville, Tenn., March 8.
