AN INJUSTICE REMOVED

DISCRI.MIXATIOX AGAINST INDIAN APOLIS TO HC STOri'ED. Grnln, Flour and Cereallne Products Will He Carried on Chicago Dasis General Hallway Xevrs. Local grain dealers, millers anI manu facturers of cereallne products are much gratified that Indianapolis In the matter of grain and flour rates is to be placed on a basis with that of Chicago, which for months past has been paying but 15 cents per one hundred pounds Chicago to New York on flour, while the Indianapolis mill er had to pay 20 cents, as well as tho manufacturer of cereallne products, and the Indianapolis grain shipper has been forced to pay 20 cents per one hundred pounds on grain when the Chicago grain merchants paid but 13 cents. In commentng on this discrimination against Indian apolis in favor of the Chlcag6 shipper Arthur Gillette, manager of the Acme mills, and Mr. Evans, of the Hoosler mills, said It had practically shut down the mills In this territory, as the discrimination made It impossible to compete In the markets with any profit. General Manager, Bates, of the Indianapolis hominy mills. said thl3 discrimination had more or less Injured their business, and but for the fact that the products of their mills were of a character that were In active demand the effect would have been even more serious. While it is not known that Chi cago shippers were given lower rates on other commodity freights than the prices which Indianapolis shippers have had to compete with in Eastern and export mar kets, the belief prevails that lower rates have been granted at Chicago on many classes of freight than Indianapolis has enjoyed. Fast freight line men located here agree with the shippers at this point that they have been outrageously treated through, the . discrimination that Chicago has enjoyed, and one of the older of the fast freight line officials said that he had come to the conclusion that freight officials in Chicago had the railroad presidents under their, thumbs and that any agreement the presidents might make would be ignored -by such officials. He wished that the government would take In hand this whole Question of rates and severely punish any freight official who contracted to carry freight at other than full tariff rates, as men at other points than Chicago were practically driven out of business through the manipulation of grain, fiour and several other commodity freights. The fact that an Indianapolis miner nas oeen oouged to pay more than a miller in Minneapolis shipping via Chicago on flour to the teaboard shows the gross Injustice that local flour manu facturers and shippers of grain have labored under. Wages Raised on the Wabash. The "Wabash Railroad has issued a new schedule of wages, operative from March L It makes no reductions whatever, but gives Increases in many cases, and no doubt will meet the approval of the men who were asking the officials a month ago for an Increase and a revision of the srhfdiilo. Tho changes are principally to add a rate of b . . a montn lor tnrougn passenger conductors making over 7.000 miles; to chango conductor on through frelcht rims from 9 0 cents to 3 cents a mile, brakemen from 1.95 cents to s cents a mile, engineers from 3.5 cents a mile to 3.85c a mile and engineers on 1803 moguls and larger from 5 9 mile to 4 cents a mile, to change conductors on locai ireignt runs rrora Peru to Montpeller from 3.65 a trip to !.S5 a trip and brakemen from J1'.4X) to X2.50 a trin. The are also increases in the switching and worn'irain xorces. Personal, Local and General Notes.

Hill has been promoted from supervisor of bridges and buildings on the Memphis division of the Southern Railway to general quartermaster of the Knoxvllle division, with headquarters at Knoxvllle. The official report of John Ferguson, general baggage agent at the Union Station, shows that in February, 1900, there were handled 37.123 pieces of baggage, against 36.11S in February, 1S30; increase, 1,005 pieces. William Howell, formerly connected with the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul offices at Omaha, has been promoted to the general Eastern agency of the company in New York, and Is drawing a salary of $6.000 per annum. The Big Four will order two more dining cars of the same nattern aa tho on placed in service this week to be run on the new trams to De put on with the taking effect cf the summer time table between St. Louis and Cleveland. James Al McCrea, engineer of maintenance of way of the eastern division of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, who he been confined to his home for some time by an attack of typhoid fever, is improving, lie isnow able to sit up. The Big Four now has in Its fystem 1,83S.ll miles of railroad owned outright, 336.08 miles leased and operated, making a total mileage of 2.234.19. The capital stock of the road is divided into J27.9S7.8J5 of common and 110,000.000 preferred stock. L. F. Loree, general manager of the Pennsylvania lines west, now travels over the lines in his new private car, which is one of the most complete in its construction and conveniences in service, and has the distinction of being wide vcstlbuled. C. W. 8mlth, who has been depot passenger agent at St. Louis for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, has been appointed to succeed II. A. Cherrier as Northern passenger agent of that road In Chicago. Mr. Cherrier Is now with the Great Northern. The official report of Charles Stllz. general ticket agent at the Union Station, shows the receipts from sales of tickets at the Union Station in February, 1000, to have been J7.S36.10 in excess of those of February, 1S00, and J12.235.S0 in excess of February, 1SDS. It Is officially announced that the Santa Fe's new San Francisco line will be opened for traffic on May 1. Paul Morton, vice president of the Santa Fe, has returned from an extensive inspecting trip to California and announces that work on the extension is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Going up the steep Hanlin hill on Monday the big new class G-4 engine of tho Panhandle, No. 107, had twenty-one refrigerator cars, five cars of live stock and two cars of live poultry, making twenty-eight cars In all, and yet this heavy train was moved along at a twenty-mlle-an-hour pace without much trouble. Cal Wagner, traveling as:ent for the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul, has Just returned from a trip to New York. He worked on the New York Central when the wooden rails were covered with scrap iron and there were five divisions between New York and Iiu.Talo. Now one conductor runs through from one city to the other. They have trains that run through between Albany and New York without stopping. The engines run right along at a speed of ninety miles an hour on some of the schedules, and they have fourteen cars in a train on tho through schedule. C. E. Schaff, general manager of the Ulg Four lines, who has been in New York slnco Tuesday arranging for summer time

schedules, returned last night. The new trains it is proposed to put on over the Big Four to connect with the fast trains of the Lake Shore east-bound will leave St. Louis at 8 a. m., and west-bound will leave Cleveland at the same hour. If the forecast of the summer's business as made by the traveling passenger agents can be relied upon to make a prediction, there will be more excursions and excursionists this year, than the country has ever seen. The traveling passenger agents have a way of their own of feeling the pulse of a community, and they say it is beating high for outlng3 this summer. A number of changes to take effect March 10 have been made by the reclassification committees of the Trunk-line and the Central Traffic Association. The changes in many Instances restore rates to the same basis that obtained before Jan. 1 last. Cotton goods are reduced 15 per cent, and agricultural implements and vehicles 20 per cent. It is said that further changes are contemplated. The Lake Shore will have at its roundhouses at division points Inspectors both for day and night service, and the men selected must pass an examination showing that they are fitted for the position, as their work will be to carefully Inspect every locomotive on being placed In the roundhouse. It Is expected that in this manner breakdowns of locomotives on the road can be materially lessened. The Lake Shore's gross earnings in the five years 1S34-1S38 averaged $20,3C3.000 per annum. The advance from this average, or from J20.753,000 in 1SSS to J23,C13,000 in 1S09. shows interestingly the fruit of the revival of industry during the past eighteen months. The last annual report revealed the highest degree of operating efficiency yet recorded, the average freight train load being raised from 321 to 332 tons. The exhibit for 1S00 will be still better. Employes in the shops of the Lake Shore at Elkhart are not pleased with orders that have been Issued by the new master mechanic, and if Elkhart papers are correct a strike is not- an improbability. He is charged with weeding out the men and dismissing many who had been on the company's pay rolls for many years. One of the rules complained of is that the men must not talk during work hours on any other than shop work, and are limited in this. A new map of the new Lake Shore is soon to be issued, and when It Is done It will show what an extensive piece of property the road is getting to be. From Cleveland it branches off to the south and west, forming a network of roads through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and reaching important cities beyond. There is now in the Lake Shore system 4,566.10 miles of railroad, with a combined capital stock of JU1,667.523. The Lake Erie & Western, which is the newest addition to the system, has 723 miles of road actually owned and 167 miles leased and operated. , BIRDS AND SHADE TREES

Are Considered by the Indianapolis Audubon Society. At the meeting of the Indianapolis Audubon Society last night at the Commercial Club there was during the serving of refreshments considerable comment upon the large interest taken In the work of the socfety since Its organization In December last. Members of the society are much encouraged and work of larger scope is being planned. The report of the committee appointed to ascertain what, if any, ordinances of the city are now in force relative to the planting, care and protection of shade trees was that no ordinances cn the subject exist. Tho only one found was passed in 1S65, and this was, according to court decisions, rendered Inoperative by the city charter. The matter was discussed and it was decided there was no other way than to appeal to the Legislature for suitable legislation, and a committee of three will be appointed by the president to ascertain what legislation is desirable. In the hands of the superintendent of public schools is an unexpended sum of money set apart for lectures before the pupils and teachers of the schools. The Audubon Society has conferred with the school authorities, and it is probable that a series of four lectures on "Birds" will be given in the near future. Mrs. D. W. Marroon read a paper on "Bird Migration." . The paper contained many interesting points and received much fcLvorable comment. The Rev. W. J. Frazler, of Brazil, Ind., read an excellent paper on "Bird Protection." He contended that Instead of planting trees for shade and timber alone such trees should bo planted as would be most suitable for the habitation of birds of the section, and that plenty of evergreens should be planted. He also said that birds, wild animals and fishes on a man's premises should be as much his property as his chickens and swine, and should be governed by the same laws as far as applicable.He made an earnest appeal to the women regarding the protection of birds and their practice of using birds for headgear adornment. Relative to societies for the protection of birds he said the Dickey Bird Society of England had not long ago a membership among school children of over 80,000. Mr. Frazler also said he thought the pulpit of the country should take up the flght for the birds. The meeting concluded with light refreshments. BOYS' CLUB RUMMAGE SALE Donations of Cast-Off Articles Are Requested. . Need of money has led to the Boys Club adopting a plan for the raising of funds which It is thought will prove both interesting and profitable. The scheme has been tried several times in Eastern cities with much success. The boys say: "Housecleaning time approaches. We know our friends have lota of things' stowed away in attics and chests and of which the women say upon having to handle them each house cleaning time, I do wish I knew of some place to send them. ' The boys are asking the donation of all such things and with the stock secured propose to "open store" March 15, the proceeds of the sale to be used for the benefit of the club. It is said that anything from a dustpan, dirty collars, wash tubs, shoes in pairs. In fact, "any old thing" will be acceptable. Wagons bearing signs "Boys Club Rummage Sale" will call for the articles If word Is sent to any one of the following women, all of whom have interested themselves in the work: Mrs. J. A. Sutcliffe, 720 North Pennsylvania street; T. C. Day, 1620 North Pennsylvania street: Mrs. E. J. Foster. 627 North Pennsylvania street: Mrs. W. S. Wynn, the Denlson; Mrs. V. M. Backus, 1507 North Meridian street; Mrs. A. M. Ogle. 1423 North Pennsylvania street; Mrs. Clarence Kenyon, 831 North Delaware street; Miss Alice Graydon, Boys' Club. IMPORTANT EVIDENCE. The Trust Agreement la Secured by the State. A very important piece of evidence in the suits against the American Glass Company has been secured by the State. The officers of the company have repeatedly refused to allow the attorneys for the State to examine the records of the company, and a request of the attorney general that an order be issued compelling the company to allow the State to inspect its records is now under consideration by Judge Carter, of the Superior Court. The evidence secured Is the agreement of the glass companies and the trust, signed by the representatives of the trust and the companies, at the time the companies became a part of the trust. Mr. Hadley, deputy attorney general, is of opinion that the agreement will prove conclusively that the several glass companies sold with the previou knowledge that a combination in the window-glass Industry was to be formed. Civil Service Examinations. March 17 and April 17 have been fixed as tho dates for civil-service examinations for departmental service. The examination for railway mall clerkships will be held on March 19. There will be no examinations for clerkships In the Indianapolis postoffice until next November.

ON A CROSS COMPLAINT

JUDGE LEATHERS GRASTS K ÄTHER YX II. LEVEY A DIVORCE. She Is Mach Older Than Her Husband The Xeller Case Other Matters In the Courts. Judge Leathers, of the Superior Court, yesterday granted a divorce to Katheryn H. Levey from Mark Dunn Levey. The latter brought the original suit for divorce, but his wife filed a cross-complaint and procured the decree. The Leveys were married last October and went to live with the wife's family at Shelbyville. Levey, a short time before his marriage, fell heir to an estate valued at about v 515,000. He was about twenty-one years old, and the woman Ijö married was a widow of about thirtyfive. Levey claimed his wife had such a violent temper that he could not live with her. Mrs. Levey made the same accusation against her husband. As the story was related to the court, the young husband went to. Texas on a trip, taking with him J1.700. He had little of this sum left when he returned, and told his wife that he had been dissipating. She told the court that he admitted he had become involved with a woman in Texas and had got Into trouble with her husband. It was this feature of the case that caused Judge Leathers to grant the wife the divorce. Judge Leathers also granted a divorce to Lula May Neller, a good-looking milliner, who related an unusual story. She was married to Harry Neller June 7, 1807. when she was eighteen years old. Her husband was nineteen. He was earning IS or 13 a week as a drug clerk. They lived at their respective homes, and he came to see her about once a week. Finally she fell 111 and his visits almost ceased. She did not see him after March, 1S0S. Young Neller did not appear in court, but his attorney filed a statement saying his client had no employment and could not support a wife. The court heard part of the evidence in the divorce suit , of John Costello, who claims that his wife was the cause of his being turned out of the fire department. Costello told the court that during the fourteen years he was connected with the fire department he gave his wife 160 every month. Judge Leathers wants to hear Mrs. Costello's side of the case and ordered her summoned to appear to-day. Jndge Allen Ileum Argument. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yesterday began hearing argument on the claim of the Capital National Bank against the Washington Savings and Loan Association. The bank holds the association's note for J3.100. The bank held stock In the association, and when it desired to withdraw the officers Issued a note, as there was no money with which to pay off stockholders. The claim 13 being resisted on the ground that the bank had no right to accept thi3 note, as It must have known that the association was Insolvent. It Is also claimed the officers of the association had no right to make the bank a preferred creditor. George C. Calvert and other officers of the association were examined yesterday as to the manner in which the note was issued. ? A Woman "Sues ' for Support. M-iwiia rr Tinman beean an action in the f courts yesterday against Lewis P. Thomas and the Beveridge Paper Company for support. Thomas is employed by this com pany. His wife says he deserted her on Feb. 3, 1KTJ, leaving ner noracit houseless without provision for her support. She asks that she be allowed a Judgment for to a week out of her husband's salary and If he declines, to pay it she wants the Beveridge Paper Company to hold the amount out of his wages. Joshna Williams Sacs. Joshua WHlams commenced a damage suit against tne .National Malleable Castings Company yesterday-to recover J19.000 on account of personal injuries. The plaintiff was injured while employed by the castings company. He says he had three ribs broken and three others were dislocated. The plaintiff, was employed in the capacity of a molder. He was handling a' metallic lever .which : broke and allowed him to fan. ' - '" ' Found to Be Insane. William Kropp was yesterday declared to be of unsound nilnd. He is forty years of age.

On the Firing Line at Angeles, Island of Luzon, Dec 9, 1899. Gentlemen: I wish to inform you that when I started for the Philippines I took 350 of your cigars with me that I bought in San Francisco, and I could not use them on the transport. I had them packed away in my army trunk, so I did not open them until I reached Manila, and when I did I was offered $15.00 gold for them. I sold two boxes for $12.00, and the rest I put to my own use. You cannot buy a good cigar on the island. I wish you had the Geo. V. Childs on sale on the island; ail the boys would be after them. We all know a good cigar when we strike them, and the Geo. W. Childs beats them, all.

leable Castings Company; damages. Circuit Court. Mary G. Nichols vs. George F. Berg et al.; suit to foreclose mortgage. Superior Court, Room L HIS WIFE SUCCEEDS. William Polrler I Reappointed to the Fire Department. The Board of Safety yesterday morning reappointed William Polrler to a position in the fire department. He was dismissed last August for failing to pay his debts. Since his dismissal he has been working for reappointment, and his wife has been a frequent caller on the board and Mayor Taggart In behalf of her husband. Fire Chief Barrett recommended the following men for appointment to the force, they having served their sixty days' probation and found to be good firemen: T. E. Mankln, John Blackwell, James Sharpe, William Rusie, Louis Goss, Marlon B. Kemper, W. II. Torbet, Charles T. Treadway, William Steinhauer, Peter Hussey, Max Bishop, James O'Donnell, Norman R. Sulgrove and E. P. Lowe. Henry Sweetland, a transfer agemt, was before the board asking for a place for the transfer wagons to stand, as a recent order prevents them from standing on improved streets. He was told the Council would have to make such a provision. He Waives No Claim. Through an error in reporting the statement of Attorney W. N. Harding before the investigating committee he was made to say he waived all claim against the city for costs for his services as attorney in the councilmanic investigation. The statement should have read that he waived no claim against the city for costs. Attorney Harding says the city is liable to pay the costs, notwithstanding the fact that the ordinance appropriating money for that purpose was killed in the Council. M-M---Works Board Meeting:.
