THE RAILROADS,

Various Items of Current New*, Local and General.

Col. Hill went to St. Louis on a special yesterday. C. T. Appleby, of the St. Louis & San Francisco, is in the city.

Conductor Knapp, of the Logan, is again on the sick list, and W. E. Murray has charge of his run.

H., and now superintendent of the Ohio Central, was married at Evansville night before last, to Miss Mary Louise Chandler, a prominent society lady of that city.

During the last seven years no less tkan 273 railway companies, having a mileage of nearly 24,000 miles, or about. 20 per cent, of the present mileage of the United States, and representing an apparent investment of not far from $1,430,000,000, or nearly 15 percent, of the total railway investment in the country, have paased through bankruptcy and reorganization.

TheSeney Syndicate.

The Seney Syndicate which built the Nickel Plate, is"at present constructing with Nickcl Plate rapidity the Michigan & Ohio road, is completing the Rochester & Pittsburg, extending the the great East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia system, and surveying a projected new Southern Pacific route through the Indian territory. This seems to be business enough eveiufor the Seney Syndicate, especially when it is understood that Representative Dunn, of |Arkarisas, will at an early day introduce a bill providing for the grant of aright of way through the Indian territory, and that a committee on Pacific railroads expect to meet in a few days to take action on matters pertaining to the new Pacific route.

The Nickel Plate's Cost.

The New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company report to New York state authorities that the "total cost of tne road and equipment" up to June 30 last was $65,241,838—of wnich $50,000,000 represents "capital stock paid in," and $15,000,000 funded debt. But the company has also issued $4,000,000 of equipment bonds, not mentioned here, making the "total cost" in round numbers, $69,240,000. The length of the road from Baffalo to its junction with the Illinois Central tracks is 511 miles, so that the average cost of the entire line, if these statements are correct, says the Railway Age, $135,500 per mile. For a new single track road, without terminal facilities at either end, built for the most part over an even country, and not yet fully equiped for business, this is the most remarkable case of costly construction on record. In comparison therewith the New York Central, with 1,000 miles of main lines—nearly all of this double and more than one-third of it quadruple tracked—with grounds and buildings of enormous cost and an immense amount of rolling stoclj, is the cheapest property in the country, for its reported cost is only $133,000,000, or about $133,000 per mile—$2,000 per mile less than the Nickel-Plate.

LAST SAD BITES.

Arrival of Ozlas Depny's Remains—The Funeral—Action of Respect.

The remains of the late Ozias Depuy, forwarded from Yuma, Arizona, last Sunday morning, arrived here on the I. & St. L. at half-past five o'clock last evening, and were conveyed to the family residence, at the corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets.

Action of Bespect.

The committee appointed by the McKeen Cadets to draft resolutions, consisting of Rev. F. S. Dunham, C. E. Fuller, jr., and A. C. Duddleston, made the following report:

Resolved, In the death of Surgeon Ozias Depuy we are called upon to mourn the loss of a friend and comrade, who, from his many noble and excellent qualities of heart and rare accomplishments of mind, had singularly endeared himself to us all. Called to that "rest that remainetK for the people of God" in the very flower of his early manhood, he had already, by his ceaseless application to the duties of his noble profession, conquered a high position among the most eminent of his colleagues. United with his rare and widely recognized ability was an untiring devotion and constant vigilance to those under his care, which were the spontaneous expressions of a great heart full of sympathy and supreme unselfishness.

Resolved, That in the life and character of Dr. Depuy we have presented to us a high example ef unswerving devotion to duty, oi noble magnanimnity, of true manliness, of Christian confidence and resignation.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family with the sincere expressions of our sympathy, and also that copies be furnished to the city press.

The members of the old Light Guards met at the office of the Gas company last night to take action on the death of their former comrade. W. II. Armstrong acted as chairman and F. C. Danaldson as secretary. The following committee on resolutions

Capt. were appointed as a committee on floral oflerings. It was decided that the members attend the funeral in a body.

The Terre Haute club has appointed M. N. Smith and F. C. Danaldson as a committe to draft resolutions to present to the family of the deceased, and for publication in the city papers.

A BOLD THIEF

Be Enters a Main Street Jewelry Store and Gets Away with a Fine Gold Watch.

One of the boldest robberies on record in this vicinity took place about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the jewelry store of S. R. Freeman, on Main street, near Third. While Mr. Freeman was engaged in the back part of the store, a young man entered the front door, deliberately reached over the show-case, selected

a fine stem-winding gold watch, and coolly walked out ot the store. His actions were observed by H. Manning, who, from the coolness displayed by the thief, thought the latter was a friend of Mr. Freeman's, engaged in examining his goods. The thief turned at Reibold's corner, and went across Third street to the reel house, and disappeared in the alley. The police were notified, but from the vagne description of the thief, they have as yet been unable to run him down. The value of the stolen watch is $100.

SATED FROM SHAME.

A Young Girl Rescued From the Clutches of a Brothel Keeper of this

City.

A week or so ago a reporter of the Express was, in a jocular manner, requested to make a personal to the effect that "Madame Hammond has gone to Chillicothe, and Columbus, Ohio, for some new girls." The madame is proprietress of the establishment at the corner of Second and Poplar streets, this city, and as such is not in the habit of getting personals. But as a matter of fact she had gone to Ohib for the purpose of procuring girls for her infamous trade, and a sequel to her trip is told in the following story, from the Indianapolis Journal of yesterday:

A case of most detestable infamy and treachery came to light at the union depot last night. A passenger on the Panhandle train from the east had his attention called to a group of four women, by the incessant crying of the youngest, a mere girl. Her companions were flashily dressed, while she was arrayed in plain country attire, and her appearance and grief excited his suspicion that all was not right. When the train reached this city he communicated his fears to the depot officials, and they investigated tne matter. It was not difficult to recognize, in the three, women of the town, the oldest of whom gave her name as Madame Hammond, of Terre Haute. The name was not unknown to the officers, and she was promptly charged with enticing the young girl into a life of shame. Seeing it was useless to deny the accusation, she admitted it, and appeared very anxious to settle the matter without an arrest. Marshal Manning said if she would pay the girl's fare back to her home at Columbus, Ohio, and pay her hotel expenses last night, he would let her depart. She was only too glad to comply, and went on her way to Terre Haute.

The young girl, between sobs, made a statement to a Journal reporter to the effect that her parents live in the country near Columbus, and that she had been working in Columbus since last June. She said that Madame Hammond had met her one day, and asked her if she would like to go where she could earn more, and suspecting nothing, she consented. The woman then went to her mother and told her that she lived in Terre Haute, and wanted a girl for housework that she liked her appearance and would give her good wages, finally prevailing upon the good mother to let the child go. They left Columbus yesterday morning, but before they had gone far the girl began to have reason to think that her companions were bad women, and was so frightened she began to cry. "I asked the women to let me get off and go back on the next train," she said, "but she would not let me go out of the seat, for fear I would jump_off."

The girl, who gave ber name as Helen McMaddes, does not appear to be more than fourteen years old is a nice looking country girl, and apparently very innocent. She seemed very thankful to escape from the dire calamity which threatened her. A sharp watch was kept on the detestable trio until after their train left, and the intended victim was returned to her home this morning.

An Express reporter learned last night from good authority that the officers of the law will have the girl's parents to indict Mrs. Hammond for abduction for purposes of prostitution, and take her to Ohio on a requisition.

AMUSEMENTS.

One Hundred Wives.

The Draper-Herman company will present the successful American drama "One Hundred Wives" at the opera house next Monday and Tuesday evenings. The Nashville Banner says: "One Hundred Wives" has amoral which even the devout Christian might not hesitate to re-enact in the bosom of his family, as a lesson of instruction to his children. It is supurbly mounted, exquisitely beautiful, and far more realistic than is generally seen on the stage.-

Notes.

Christine Nilsson's contract with Mr. Abbey is to sing fifty nights for $75,000.

Harry Dixey has made a great hit in Boston as the "Lord Chancellor" in Tolanthe."

Edwin Booth goes from Rome to Germany, where he will play in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipsic and other large cities.

Miss Kate Forsyth, leading lady of the John McCullough Combination, has given up the idea of starring next season.

Salvini refuses to sit for a photograph in character costume, declaring it is a method of advertising unworthy a true ortist.

A funny incident occurred in connection with the first representation at

an English provincial theater ofa new play entitled "Satan's Daughter." Wl^en the heroine appeared before the curtain in response to the call of tbe audience, one of the "gods" called out in a loud voice, "Is the old man here to-night?"

About the Sidewalks.

The sleet last night make walking the next thing to an impossibility. The pedestrian who could walk a square without caressing the sidewalk, is entitled to a medal, and should apply to Barnum for a position as a champion balancer. A highly moml Express reporter was detailed for special duty along Main street, to get the names of individuals communing suddenly with mother earth, but soon retired. The air was intensely charged with high-pressure profanity, which so grated on his super-sensitive nerves that he withdrew in disgust.

A predicament. Two o'clock in the morning,—sleet on the sidewalk,— baby got the croup, and no Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup in the house.

A New Depot

May or may not be built this year, but Joe Miller's new depot for supplies is already a fixed fact.

He "has, at his new grocery, choice honey, maple syrup, maple sugar, buckwheat flour, celery, cranberries, oysters, a choice line of Alden dried fruits, dried raspberries, blackberries, pitted cherries, evaporated apples and peaches, French and German prunes, oranges, lemons, sweet cider, Michigan cabbage,"apples—in fact, everything to be found in a first-class grocery. Orderby telephone.

Do not forget that the Juniors dance on the 18th inst. Everybody should come, for this promises to be one of the most sociable features of the season.
