Motto** of Redaction* Not Always Carried Oat—Railroad Earning* laeroaeiag.

Nrw York, December 14.—Vice Preside et Bead, ofthe Chicago, Milwaakee A St. Paul, talked with a reporter yesterday in regard to ret* outting ia the Northwset. He aaid: "I am not advissd sufflciently as to detail* to givo yoa any idea ol what changes bav* been made or are contemplated in rates, but this ahonld bn remembered ia reading the dispatch** of rata redoctioa,. Before the iateratate law was la * fleet secret cutting wan indulged ia, aad little wan board about it Now, if aay readj natmeat of rates is desired, notiaa is given, and tbo newspaper correspondents make the moat of it. Tba notices given at time* of aa isleotien to reduce tariffs do aot necessarily involve a redaction. In other days the roads were associated ia pools for dividiag the tariff: bow they are simply associated to maiatala rates. K readjustments art deemed advisable, a road givee notice of an intended redaction so ns to be able to put the rates into effect if nn agreement with ita competitor* can not be reached before the date of the expiratioa ot tbe notice. As I understand it, the question ef reducing Iowa and Miatonri rate* is to be decided open December 20, and the reduction may not be made. The threatened trouble comes from the action of the receiver of tbe Wabnab. He declares that he must mast put down Illinois State rates in order to conform to tha schedule rates established by the trunk line system. "Of course, if the Wabash reduces its rates, the other Illinois roads must do the same. Tbe Chicago A Alton announces that if tbe Wabash makwi tha raduetion it threatens, it will carry tbe lower basis through to Kansas City. That will, ot course, compel the Chicago, Burlington A Quindy to tollow, and tha reductions will doubtless tore* a readjustment more or less on the lines running to Council Bluffs. But tbia will not affect the vast territory north of the Omaha lines nor tha lines Into Dakota. "Most of the reductions, of whioh notice boa been given in tbe Inst few months,’’ conticued Mr. Bond, "have not been made, ns bafore tbe time expired the roads daoided to make no change. I do not believe there have been any material radnotioaa in rates this year, although there have been frequent readjustments required by the interstate law. But tbe gross earnings of the roads show tor themselves that tha readjustments have not lossesed tba total returns from traffic. In foot, I believe that the Graeger roads have obtained bettor rates under the new law than they did a year ago, whan secrat cutting was in vogua.” Mr. Powtferlv’a Condition. Scranton, Pa, December 14.—There waa a change for the worse in Mr. Powderly’s condition last night, and he became so restleaa ha oonld obtain no sleep. Not antll this morning did he puss into n sound sleep, from which he bad not awakened nt noon, wben the correspondent visited his house. His family feel very much alarmed, and tba physicians have been summoned to the sick man’s bedside. Tbs dootora reassured tbe family by saying that there was no immediate danger. All the patient needed was absolute quiet and careful treatment.

Hovey, nn expert electrician, connected with the American Bell Telephone Company of Boston. It to n part of his duty to familiarize himself with the telephone service of the different Stntaa.

On that the fate of the Government will depend. The Crown Prince Worse.

“GAS” ROBINSON EXPELLED.

The Colored Democratic Club, in His Absence, Drops Him Off The List.

A mind-reader reports another row in colored Democratic circles Last night there was s meeting ofthe colored club on Maloti avenue, at which time severs! things were brought up, calculated to excite dissension. Mr. George Taylor raised the point that “Gas” Robinson, who has been quite prominent in local politics, was not eligible to membership, for the reason he bad sworn in court that there was not s drop of colored blood in his veins, and it was stated in connection with the passage of a resolution, looking to h s expulsion, that prior to the last election he made application to join the Porter-Denny organization, and Lawyer Franklin raised this same point, and for this reason he wss rejected. Mr. Robinson was not there to speak iu his own behalf, and the resolution expelling him was adopted. Ex-Patroman McGee then took the floor against ). il. V. Hill, the mail agent alleging that he was a democrat for revenue only, and thst he had collected 917 from Geo. W. Koontz, In the recent campaign, on tbe plea that it was needed to pa? rent for delinquent members, but he was prepared to say thst there were no members delinquent in rent at thst time, aud that no report of that money wss ever made. A resolution followed that Mr. Hill be expelled from the club; but this gentleman happened to be present and he gave a bitter and emphatic denial to the charge, and finally he was sustained by a vote of 10 to 9. A resolution did prevail, however, looking to a thorough re-

susuim

prevail, however, looking to a thoro organization of tbe club, the same elude new officers. Several times it looked as it the proceedings would break up iu

Mr. Hill wss being considered, it developed that the superinteudHDt of tbe railway mail service, this division, had been communicated with concerning this matter, and that he auswered that formal charges would have to be preferred, and the evidence provided before the matter could be seriously entertained. While tbe poiut against Robinson was Successfully held, In so far as his expulsion is concerned, lively limes arc anticipated at future sessions of the club, for it is believed that Robinson will make a fight to regain his footing.

THE VANDALIA DEAL

FINALLY BRINGS IVES TO JAIL.

Mr. McKean's Side of the Story to the C., H. A D. Salt—Want To Get •400,000 Pram TheC., W. A M.

New York, December 14.—Henry S. Ives was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant isaned on s charge of (rand larceny, made by Jnlius Dexter, president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton Railroad Company. The affidavit alleges that on Jnne 6. 1887, a droit drawn by the First National Bank of Cineinnsti, on the Srdday of June, on tha Western National Bank of New York, to tha order of tha Cincinnati, Hauultou A Dayton Railroad Company for $10,000, indorsed by F. H. Short, assistant treasurer ot the company, was stolen by Henry 8. Ives. The draft was alleged to be the property of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Davton Company. Tha draft had been sent to Henry S. Ivee as trustee of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton, to be throed over to W. R. McKeen, president a4 tbe Terre Haate A Indianapolis Railroad Company, in part payment of $889,500 due the Terre Haute Railroad for stock purchased by the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton. Ives, instead ot indorsing and delivering the draft to the order of McKeen, as required, it is alleged, indorsed it to the order ot Henry S. Ives A Co., and deposited it with the American Exohange National Bank of New York, to the credit of that firm. Ives was taken to the Police Court, where counsel oisimed the case was one for the civil courts. Ives said he did not expect criminal proceedings. Ives was held in $25,000 bond, bia sister furnishing the surety. Want tha C., W. A M. Advanoa. It is stated that the attorneys of the C., U. A D. Road are preparing to bring snit to recover tbe $450,000 that H. S. Ives advanced on the Cincinnati, Wabash A Michigan Road, and whioh was forfeited by not meeting the second payment per agreement. Most ot the sum has, by order of President Wade, of tbe C., W. & M., been invested in improvements to ths road-bed and purchasing new equipments. Mr, McKeen's Side of the Story. The McKeeu-Vandalia side of the litigation growing out o( the Ives deal will be given publicity In a lew days through the reply which Mr. McKeeu’s attorneys will file in court It U understood that some stirring allegaiious will be made. The arrest of Ives yesterday in New York develops an Important bit of evidence and probably explains his recent trip to Terra Haute. One who believes (hat McKeen will win his case in court to-day offered these observations: “The allegations in the complaint of the C., H. A D.. that ives paid, in behalf of the C., IL A D., 9889,000 and 6562,500 for stock purchased of McKean can not be true, because It now appeal* that Ives appropriated—so It is alleged In New York—9100,000 which was giveuhlm,in a draft for payment ou this purchase. 1 hear that this Is not the only amount which Ives failed to properly apply of the amounts which the C., H. A D. may have appropriated lor the purchase of the stock ofthe vaudalia. “There ia another feature which will doubtless nave s bearing wben the Court hears the case finally. The C., H. AD. alleges that tbe purchase of the Terre Haute A Logansport division (M the Vandaiia wss not contemplated by them, and that tbe purchase of Us stock by Ives os trustee was nnau horized; and that they are not bound by tbe action of a trustee who exceeds his authority. Whatever their intentlous mav have been the directors have committed themselvas on this matter. Immediately after the purchase they accepted not only the Vandaiia main line, but they took actual posaession as the rightful purchasers of the Logansport divisionindicating that tney accepted as final the action of Ives os trustee. The C., H. A D. operated for a time the T. H. A L. division, discharged agents and controlled the property. When McKeen sgiiln took hold tbe Logansport division, of GHi—e, —vowed, together is an the rest of the property.” Railroad Motes. The rates ou live stock to the East, which were lately reduced one-halt by competition, are to be returued lo the regular figures, or slightly iu advance of them, on the 26th Inst J. W. Shtrwood, formerly superintendent of the Big Four, has gone into a mining venture in California, and it is understood given up railroading permanently, having declined a fine position on the A., T. A 8. F. Road. There is a growing Inclination on the part of some roads to pay the emplores in cash instead of checks, as has long been customary. The Bee Line has adopted the change entirely, and the B g Four on its main line. This method Is said to save tbe men much Inconvenience in many cases where national banks are not close st hand. Some weeks ago the local trainmen and the switchmen of the Indianapolis yards united in a request for an advance in wages. The superintendents of the various roads considered the request and deferred final settlement until to-day. This forenoon they held a conference st the Denison House, and decided not to grant the advance. The demand was not accompanied with a threat to strike. The Belt trainmen were particularly Interested. An effort is being made to have the Graydon (team-heating system in running order on the Vandaiia trains Nos. 3 and 4 by Saturday, when Its heating qualities will be given a public test. A special feature of this sy-tem is the provision for coutinuing the heat for several hours In cars detached from the engine, which Is said by the inventors to be confined to their device alone. The invention wss used an entire winter on the Boston A Troy Road five years ago, and la alleged to have been proven a complete success at that time, but that the roads did not then feel the necessity of substituting anything tor the stove. *, Christmas Festivals. The Christmas market gotten up by the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church arill be held Friday afternoon and evening, and evening, and there will be several very attractive features, with an abundance of fancy work, suitable for Christmas. Tbe various booths will be decorated with original designs, entertainments will be offered, and there will be a produce stall, at which materials for a Christmas dinner can be had. Tbe "caie klatsch,” under the auspices of the ladies of tbe Meridian-street Church, was given last evening, at the residence ot Mrs. T. P. Haughey, and it called out a large attendance. Sapper wrs served, and there was an auction sale of statuary, with Mr. C. E. Coffin as auctioneer, tbe young ladies serving as statues. Tbe affair was a success, socially and financially. The annual snow festival, under the direction ol the Yonng Ladies Missionary Society, was held laiteveuiug, at the Second Presbyterian Church. Tbe decorations were white, sprinkled with crystal, and the yonng ladies were picturesquely attired in costnmes ot white, and powdered hair. A large number ot tickets were sold, and the event was a success, financially. The Christmas market, nnder the auspices of the ladies of Central-avenne Church, is being held at the residence ot Mrs. W. D. Cooper, 172 College avenue, and a sapper will be served this evening, from 6 till 10 o’clock. Fancy articles, suitable for Christmas gifts, are for sale, and altogether ths market is very attractive.

Tbo Liquor League Reported To Have Gone To Piece*.

It comes from a saloon man that the Liquor League is hopelessly "busted,” and, whether this be Irne or not, he givee tbs following as illustrating the wherefore. Sim Coy was originally a member, but he safferod his dues to lapse, nnder the impression, likely, that a party of hi* political prominence should not be called upon to pay tribute of aay kind, and finally there was sufficient spirit aroused in the league to drop him because of his delinquency. About this time it was on* of the rules of the league that there should bo no sales of intoxioanta in illegal hours if ths sentiment of the community seamed to desire an enforcement of the law. Against this restriction the brewer interests were largely opposed, and, as each of tha breweries controlled a score and more saloons by reason of mortgages, they were able to wield a tremendous influence and to finally get through a motion not only to fight the law restricting the sales of intoxicants, bat to provide legal counsel and pay the fines of persons who might be unfortunate in the courts. Against this tha saloon men, who relied mainly on a whisky patronage, and were independent of the breweries, raised a tremendous protest, and this proving unavailing, the league was suffered to dissolve. Before ita dissolution Simeon made several efforts to get back, but he was invariably denied, and this is why he was able to say that he was not a member of the league at a time when it served his purpose to' pretend that tbe league and himself were not working in harmony. Btaine, Sherman or Sheridan. "Not, of courae, counting Indiana poasibilities,” said Stanton J. Peelle, "it looks to m* ss it Blaine were to-day the most popular man in the Republican ranks. His interview, cabled from the Old World within twenty-fonr hours after the President’s message bad been issued, taking issue with Mr. Cleveland, demonstrates that he is, to all intents and purposes, a presidential candidate. Like Henry Clay, he has a strong following that is, to some degree, inexplicable. His greatest popularity is in the strong Republican districts. Along the sea coast they are for Blaine because they know that he has expressed himself io favor pt tbe construction of a navy and of sea-coast defenses. All the ahip-baildera are his frienda for the

same reason.”

This view was confirmed by other Republicans who, though acknowledging that Blaine can not get the Mugwump vote nor the support of other elements, and that Cievelaod will command more of these than he did four years ago, were ot the opinion that the Maine man possesses a magnetism thst makes him a favorite with Republicans where republicanism is strongly in the ascendency. Sherman wa* confessedly strong, especially with ths business men, bat it was thought thst Blaine would lead him in pop-

WANTED IN NEW YORK.

Big; Ed Rtoe and Bis Pols in Demand For

Another Robbery.

Officers from Genesee County, New York, come here a day or two ago, with a requisition from Governor Util for the apprehension and return to that State of Big Ed Rice, Punch Mason and Charles Stewart, the three notorious confidence men who were recently arrested In Detroit and brought to Jackson County, Indiana on a charge of swindling an old farmer near Columbus out of 95,000 by a shrewdly worked confidence game. The men are now on trial, and the New York officers went there to await its termination. If Rice and his accomplices are acquitted, they will ba at once rearrested and taken to New York to be tried there. It seems that they obtained 93,000 In cash from an old farmer near Rochester, by a scheme that was almost Identical with that worked In this State. Two of them made his acquaintance, with tbe alleged purpose of purchasing bis farm, and the third met him and engaged;him in a lottery device. The farmer was told that he had drawn 33.000, but before he could get It he must show them an equal amount m cash. He went to bank, got tbe money, and returned, and thev got it from him and made their e*cap*. The New York officials sav there is not the Slightest doubt that Rice, Moran and

The effort of this organization to encourage end develop on abiding Interest In all matters pertaining to art in Indianapolis, has. perhaps, found no bettor expression than in the present exhibition. The prevalent oraze is the decoration of pottery ware, and it has taken on the form of many varied and beantiftil designs. Tne talent, among local art amateurs, developed by such an exnlbittou as this surprises these who have not before suspected its existence. Their work is highly artistic aud creditable In the extreme, considerable of it not being surpassed by that ot celebrated Instructors.
