inJJ DAY'S RAILWAY NEWS The I. & St. Ij. Ignoring the Indianapolis Yards in Its Stock Traffic. president Ingalls's ReHignatlon of His Own Choosing—The Locomotive Brotherhood Rising in Estimation. WILL RETALIATE. Tho Discrimination of the I. & St. L. Against Indianapolis Arousing Business Men. TVe exposure of the discrimination of the Indianapolis A St. Louis road against merchants of Indianapolis, as regards rates to points on their line, lias brought to light many new cases vuuer which it is done. Not only in shipments from Indianapolis is discrimination shown, but to Indianapolis as well. Grain is shipped through here to Cleveland at a very little advance over the rate 10 Indianapolis, and the matter is carried so far that seldom a carload of grain from a point on the I. & fit L. road stops at Indianapolis. Iu shipments of live stock, however, the discrimination against Indianapolis is the most remarkable. Seldom does a oar-load of through live stock •top at Indianapolis to rest, feed and and water. Stock loaded at East St. Louis is run through to Cleveland, and sometimes to Buffalo, regardless of the laws of the United States as to properly resting and feeding cattle. If a stock train runs from East St. Louis to Cleveland, ou the time-schedule, which it seldom docs, so many trains are on the road for a single track, the stock is in the cars forty-three hours without rest or food, and if run through to Buffalo, fifty-five hours, and to encourage stock men to make these long runs, and ignore the Indianapolis stock-yards, General Freight Agent Gays is said to make an outrageously high local rate to Eudiauapoiis, and an extremely low rate to Cleveland or Buffalo, the chief Idea of the general freight agent of the road seeming to be to punish Indianapolis. Did not the I. & St. L. demand tho same per cent, in tho pool of the live-stock traffic out of Bast Sr. Louis, and did it uot claim to have the most stock-productive road running through Illinois and Indiana, possibly some excuse can be found for so great a discrepancy between its deliveries and tuose of the Vandalia at the Indianapolis stock-yards. That there is ample reason for complaint is Shown in the statement of an official iu a position to know, that in the last twelve months the Indianapolis & St. Louis road had delivered to tho Indianapolis stock-yards but 831 car-loads of through live stock, while the Vandalia has delivered 7,240 car-loads which have been shipped East. Both roads have tho same per cents, of business out of East St. Louis, and the I. & St. L. passes through a much better live-stock-producing country than docs the Vandalia. Even the Cincinnati, Indianapolis. St. Louis & Chicago—which would naturally, tor the sake of a long haul, take their business to Cincinnatihad delivered nearly double as many oat-loads of stock to the ludiauapolis stock-yards as has the T. <fe St. L road. THE OHIO RIVER POOL. Reports of Freight and Passenger Agents Ratified. Chicago, Oct. 26.—The executive committee and managers of the Ohio river pooled lines met, to-day, and heard the reports agreed on yesterday by the meetings of freight and passenger Agents. The report of freight agents on territory within which business should he pooled, as given in these dispatches last uight, was ratified, except that Virginia and West Virginia bo excluded in order to avoid coiupetion with the Baltimore & Ohio. It was decided that coal truffle from rlie Ohio river north should not be Included in the pool, hut should be governed by a traffic agreement. A committee was appointed to get up a freight traffic agieemont ooveriug the pooled territory. The leooromondation of the passenger agents In regard to tho pool on passenger traffic was also ratified. It was decided that the commls•ione to agents should be paid only at certain offices in Chicago and Cincinnati, and that none should be allowed at Indianapolis or Louisville. The next meeting will be held at Indianapolis, on Nov. 8. GENERAL NEWS. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The delegates of the ludiauapolis division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, which has just closed its twentieth annual convention, at Buffalo, N. Y., returned yesterday, and report the session to have beeu of unusual interest. The membership has reached 13,000. One of the aims of the association i* to strictly confine itself within the limits appropriate to a body of such a character. Oue or the best features of the association is Its insurance department, which pays to the representatives ot each member, on his death, a very considerable sum. During the year past an aggregate of $118,233.72 was thU9 paid out, representing forty-one different claims which varied in amount from $2,708 to $3,000. Since the organization of this insurance association, fifteen years ago, the very large amount of $1,407,160.61 has been disbursed to the legal representatives of deceased members. The wise manner iu which the association has conducted its affairs the last few years lias made for it many friends, and many of the most experienced railway managers readily admit that it is beneficial to the railways of the country as well as to the membership. In the earlier days of iis formation higher wages was the chief hobby of the organization; now the aim of the entire membership serins to be to elevate tho Brotherhood and make them reliable and competent to fill the responsible positions they hold in railroad service, and as a result the standard of engineers is for above that of ten, oreveu five, years ago, I The Chicago Passenger Agents' Meeting. The meeting of the passeuger agents of Indianapolis roads at Chicago, on Thursday, is said to have been a uoisy one at times. H. M. Bronson was accused of selling tickets at his outside Indianapolis office, and he denied it; but it was shown that one of his agents had done so since the pooling agreement went Into effect, to which Mr. Bronson answered that if his agent had it was no more than the rest of the roads were doing. Tins aroused General Ticket Auent Ford, of the Pennsylvania lines. He made a rattling speech, as the boys say, winding it up by saying that if the other roads wish to open tho outside offices, the Pennsylvania people were ready to open them as wide as anybody and sell tickets as low as their competitors, and fora time it looked as if the outside offices would all be opened. Later better counsel prevailed. Resigned to Lighten His Labors. The statement of the Journal, in its Tuesday issue, that Mr. Ingalls resigned tho presidency of the Kentucky Central road that he might give the Big Four his entire attention, is confirmed in nu interview between the railroad editor of tho Chicago Tribune and Mr. Ingalls, who was lr. Chicago on Thursday, attending the pool meeting. He states that his resignation as president of me Kentuoky Central was solely due to the fact that he felt that lin could not give the proper attention to the affairs of that road, without neglecting the Interests of tho Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago. His relations with the Chesapeake <& Ohio, lie said, are as cordial as ever, the reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The Illinois Midland. The attorneys of the creditors of the Illinois Midland road are considerably disturbed that Justice Harlan has not yet rendered his decision on the question at issue. Justice Ilarlan had intimated that early in October he would do so, but the matter still hangs fire, and a leading attorney in the case remarked last evening that he would not he surprised were nothing more done in the ease for twelve mouths. Miscellaneous Notes. The distance from Utica to Syracuse by the New York, West Shore & Buffalo is about seven miles snorter than the New York Central, The rail-mill of the Pennsylvania Steel Works for the month of Sentember rolled 14,318 tons of steel rails of various patterns, being an increase of 3,472 tons over the corresponding month of 1872. The first railroad spike driven in New York Btato was on the Mohawk <fc Hudson railroad, in 1831. In that year seventeen miles of railroad were built. Now there are 6,622 miles in the State. The passenger department of the Chicago, Mil waukee Sc * sr Paul road has issued a very complete circular showing the crop resuits for 1-883 iu the southern aud ceutryl counties oi Da-

kota through which the C., M. & St. P. road runs. The average yield of wheat was 21 bushels to the acre; oats, 55 bushels; rye, 30 bushels; barley, 35 bushels; flax, 15 bushels. Col. Nutt, president of the Atlantic & Pacific, has hit upon a happy combination of words to distinguish this line from the other Pacific routes, to-wit: “All the year.” Its iocatiou justifies this title. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio companies protest thatoue-third of the coke pool business is too much for tlie Pittsburg, McKeesport <fc Youghiogheny railroad, a competitor which has just come into the field. The trouble between the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul aud other roads of the lowa pool, involving $38,000 said to be earned by tho St. Paul road in cutting rates on live-stock business, is likely to be settled by concessions ou both sides. The Boston Herald says it is no crime for railway companies to issue stock which is ninetenths water, tor the public is not compelled to buy it. Tho real wrong is the doubt the action throws upon securities having a real aud permanent value. Next Monday, Oct. 29, the question will be decided by the elections in Allen and Perry townships, Miami county, as to whether a donation shall he' made to the Fort Wayne, Peoria fe Galesburtr Railroad Company of money raised by taxation. Through passenger and freight business has begun on t.he Atlantic & Pacific under an agreement of all the parties iu interest to prorate on as quick time as any overland line makes, and it has been further agreed that a fast-freight line shall go on this route as soon as the proper equipment is secured. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Movements of Railroad Men—Passengers Must Purchase Tickets Before Taking I. & Y. Trains. V. T. Malott, president of the Chioago and Ohio Kiver pool, will return from Chicago this morning. The friends or 11. C. Townsend, general passenger agent of the Wabash system, will be gratified to learn that within the last few weeks his health has greatly improved. C., and C. C. Waite, vice-president of the C.. H. & D. lines, passed through here, last evening, en route from the Chioago meeting to Cincinnati. William 8. Hubbard, of this city, paid the first cash subscriptions toward building the Madison & Indianapolis, the Bee-line, the Terre Haute <fc Indianapolis and the Indianapolis & Peru roads. It is definitely settled that L. D. Richardson, general manager of the Chicago and Ohio River pool, shall make Indianapolis his headquarters, aud Nov. 1 he will remove from Chicago to this city. E. C. Murphy, late superintendent of the Detroit and Indianapolis and M. C. divisions of the Wabash, has taken an interest in the ice business of V. T. Malott & Cos., Laporte. Nov. Ihe will take the general management of the business. C. E. Henderson, general manager of the Indiana, Blnoiiiiugton & Western roau, is still so ill as to coufiuo him at home. He caught a severe eold, and for several days the symptoms have been that he was to have a tussle with the pneumonia. Austin Corbin, president of the 1., B. A W. system, yesterday telegraphed that, he would be in Sandusky on Mouthy, and asked the officials of tho road to meet him there to begin a general inspection trip of the several divisions in the system. The delay in electing a president for the Chicago A Eastern Illinois road; has given rise to a rumor that the directory is not pleased with D. J. Mackey's management, and are disposed to set him aside. It is intimated that Mr. Mackey will gladly step down aud our, as he can then devote his entire time to the E. AT. H. and the Straight-line roads. H. H. Stevens,of Boston, is named as his probable successor. Local Notes. The Dos Mo in 68, Osoeola & Southern Railroad Company aro about closing a contract with the Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company for several hundred tons of rails. The officers of the Indianapolis, Eel River & Southwestern Company assign -a their chief reason for building to Vincennes that they may get a good Sr. Louis connection over the Ohio & Mississippi road. Tho new train for Chicago over the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chioago road, which leaves Indianapolis at 7 a. m , and the return train which arrives hero at 6:25 r. M., have become popular and paying trains, although they have been on but sixty days. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road yesterday gathered up at stations on the western division ninety-three car loads of live stock. Thirty-one were delivered to the Bee-line, twenty to the Indianapolis stockyards, and the remainder went through to Cincinnati. Superintendent Turner, of the Indianapolis A Vincennes road, has issued a notice to conductors aud brakemen that they must see that passengers have tickets before taking passage on their trains, aud he asks passengers to purchase tickets before the arrival of trains that there need be no delay of trains at stations. Commissioner Fink is again pressing the eastern roads out of Indianapolis to reorganize their pool. Two of the roads would prefer to enter into a traffic agreement for one year, and each road work regardless of per cents, but all agree to strictly maintain rates, aud any road which cuts the rate should pay a heavy penalty. Paymaster Shepherd, of the Wabash system, yesterday paid on tho ludianapolis division for September service, it being the first time since the Wabash took control of the 1., P. A C. road that it has paid in the second month for service performed in the mouth preceding. Hereafter Mr. Shepherd expects to pay on this division by the 24th of each month for the service of the month preceding. The willingness with which the Nickel-plate people allowed the Vandalia company to cross its track is a matter or favorable comment. Tho last few years it has been one of the disgraceful features of railway management, that no line was constructed without the interference of the older roads, either by vexatious legal obstacles or by bold infractions of the peace, more especially if likely to be a competitor. Prospects are now good that Monon, the point where the Louisville, New Albauy A Chioago road intersects the Chicago A ludiauapolis Airliue, will get the new shops. The Lafayette Journal has a long article on the subject, iu which it calls upon the citizens of Lafayette to arise from their knees, where they have so long been in abject submission to the L., N. A. A C., and tell President Youug to go to anywhere he pleases. ' ' The Nickel-plate is steadily gaining a better traffic foothold, and is daily becoming a more important factor in railway circles. A few weeks since metioii was made in the Journal of the aggressive steps the management had made to secure a portion of the live-stock traffic from this section. The road lias now been admitted to the Midland States Lumber Association, a pool formed by the following hues for transactions in lumber traffic: C., C.,C. A 1., B. AO., 1., B. A W., (’., H. A D., D. A M., Ohio Centra), C., H. V. A TANARUS., ami W. A L E. This opens to the road anew field for operations. m*Frank Beadle Pardoned. The Governor yesterday pardoned Frank Beadle, who was convicted in the Pike Circuit Court of burglary, and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. He has served eighteen months of the term, but is so near dead from consumption aud dropsy that lie cannot possibly live long. His parents arc people of respectability, and the pardon was granted him so that he may go home to die. Reunited by Affliction. In Judge Taylor’s court, yesterday, the divorce suit of Martha Roble against her husband, Charles Roble, was dismissed by tho plaintiff—as they had agreed to resume their marital relations. Since tho suit was filed their two little children have died, and this fact probably had much to do in bringing about a reconciliation. Suit on Insurance Policy. Bridget Gray lias begun suit against tho National Benefit Association, of this city, for sl,200 on the policy on the life of her late husband, William E. Gray, a fireman on the Kentucky Central railroad, who >vas killed by ua accident iu December last. The Junketing Tour. Mayor Grubbs and a number of councilman and aidermeu will go to Chicago to-day over the Air-line; through the courtesy of President Young, and J. T Fanning, dry passenger agent, will chaperone tho party. They will return on Monday mgut.

THE aSBUKY ENDOWMENT. Prof. T. C. Rid path Explains the Changes and Improvements That Will Be Made. Prof. John Clark Ridpatb, of Asbury University, was in the city yesterday, and, meeting him at the Bates House, a Journal reporter inquired about the probabilities of an early consummation of the conditions to the DePauw gift to the university. “The whole matter is satisfactorily and definitely arranged," Prof. Ridpatb replied. “The only thing which remains to be done to consummate the agreement between Mr. DePauw and the trustees is the collection of tho subscription of $60,000 required from the citizens of Greencastle and Putnam county. The full amount is already subscribed." “Are you required to have the full amount in cash before the first of next January!" “As much of it as can be collected will be in Sash, and the balance must be satisfactorily secured." “What cha: aor improvements will be made in the university after the fund is secured!" “Such changes and improvements as are necessary to make It a university. Two dormitories —one male and one female—will first be erected; then au astronomical observatory will be built; a law-school will be added; a department of medicine afterward; then such museums and libraries as are needed; and, in time, a memorial hall for works of art will be built. The details of such extensive improvements cannot, of oourse, be definitely determined upon until later. The dormitories Hnd the astronomical observatory are, however, most urgently needed, and will bo built first." “How soon will the work upon these improvements be beguu!" “Very little progress could be made during the winter season upon the buildiugs. bur work will be begun early in the spring and they wiil probably be ready for use by the time of the fall opening next year.” “How soon will the change in the name of the university be made!” “There are four things which will have to be accomplished before the change in the name is effected, and these are: First, tho relinquishment of the Manners annuity; second, the erection of the McKinn observatory; third, the collection or security of the $60,000 subscribed by the citizens of Putnam county, and, fourth, the change of name from Asbury to DePauw University. The change of name will have to be made by the Putnam Circuit Court, which will convene on the 19th of November, and again iu January. The change can not well be made at tho November session of court, but it will probably be effected in Jauuarv.” “Will the new name be simply DePauw University!" “Yes. Mr. DePauw’s wishes in the matter were overborne by the bishops and clergymen of the church. Mr. DePauw himself has no desire to be glorified, but the honorable perpetuation of the family name is, of course, to be desired. It was at first proposed to establish a memorial hall bearing Mr. DePauw’s name, but after further consideration it was decided that the line of work to which his life has been largely devoted and the family name could be best perpetuated by the upbuilding of the university. Mr. DePauw has given more in aid of public education than any other man in Indiana, and he has given it without ostentation. It is but proper that the good work which is being accomplished through him should bear his name." AMUSEMENTS. THE LYRA CONCERT. The Lyra concert last night, the first of the season of 1883-84, brought out a large, Intelligent ana appreciative audlenoe, the best rnusicial gathering that has beeo seen for many a day. The hall was embellished with plants and flowers and the seating and stage arrangements were in all respects admirable. The entertainment was under the management of the new director, Prof. W. L. Blfimensohein, whose skill was shown by the admirable manner in which the choral and orchestral numbers were rendered. Mrs, H. Barmeier was in excellent voice and was warmly applauded for her rendition of an arietta from “Mirella." At the conclusion of the musical programme a social dance was given in which a large number participated. The entertainment was in every way a success aud one of which this society, which lias greatly grown during the past year in numbers and efficiency, may well be proud. ENGLISH’B OPERA-HOUSE—MISS MATHER AS LEAH. Miss Mather, last night, appeared in the title role of “Leah, the Forsaken,” her individual performance beiDg one of great artistic excellence. Indeed, it is doubtful whether or not Leah may not be considered her best part, for it certainly develops more than any other her tragic powers. The support was satisfactory, Mr. Salvini's Rudolph being decidedly better than iiis Romeo. At the matinee, this afternoon, Sheridan Knowles’s great ploy, “Tho Hunchback,” will be given, with “Romeo and Juliet" for the coucludiug bill, to-night. NOTES. Aug. 28, 1882, at Chicago. Please state where and when Margaret Mather made her debut, and oblige. A Reader. Miss Kate White, daughter of F. G. White, the actor, and herself an actress, was married on Thursday, to Mr. Albert Weber, of Chicago. The schedule of the property belonging to the late Anlhonv A Ellis Uncle Tomuiers reads as follows: “Three bloodhounds, two drums, oue heaven and one cake of ice." Lizzie Harold and her company repeated “The Princess Chuck" at the Grand last uight, ana it will be given again this afternoon aud to-night, which concludes the eugagement, Leavitt’s Company is playing an exoellent engagement at the Park this week, an*l giving a fine show. Next week Bayliss A Kenuedy's “Bright Lights’’ will be the attraction. The Indiauapolls Leoture Course Association will inaugurate their season at the Grand next Wednesday evening, by a concert by the Reracnyi Concert Company, an excellent musioal organization. Aldrich A Parsloe will be the attraction at English’s the first three nights of next week iu Bartley Campbell’s popular American play, “My Partner,” which has always been a favorite here, and during the latter part of the week Robert MoWade. will appear in “Rip Van Winkle” and his new play, “Franz HerscUeile." Manager Dickson has received the following unique literary effort from an adjoining town: “dear sir i thought i wouul rite to you to no wbeather you want more Actor or not my husban is 7 feet tall ani he is 21 years of age he wants to he a actor of sum kind and so do i of corse we half to practae, if you dont can you tell me where we can git a plase we will come at anny time we are a young marid couple we have been think about it ever senco we were marid rite soou iam aeqanted with sum of yur actor." W. H. A. Crain Convicted. W. H. A. Crain, a young man of Greensburc, was yesterday convicted of false impersonation and obtaining money under false preteuses, in the Criminal Court, and sonteaoed to pay a fine of SIOO and be imprisoned in the penitentiary aud disfranchised for a term of four years. Cralu is the young man who obtained a money package containing SIBB from the American Express Company by representing himself as his fattier. At the trial he tried to establish the alleged fact that ho was not the person who drew the money, but signally failed. His father is eighty-four years old and is said to be almost broken-hearted over his son’s crime. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Rev. n. C. Mabie, D.

Brown, president of tne sohool board. “Some of the speakers at the civil-rights meeting, the ether night, were disposed to dispute an assertion in my letter," said Mr. Brown, “the one that in Indiana the tight of oolored children to equal education with those of white men was secured by constitutional enactment over thirty years ago. Now, that statement is correot. I said nothing about the enforcement of the enactment. South of Washington street it is exceedingly expensive to maintain exclusive colored schools. School No. 19 has four rooms, only two of which are occupied by colored ohildren, the other rooms being vacant. The probabilities are that next year that school, on account of Its cost, will have to be abandoned and tho school made for white children, iu which case there will not be a single colored school on the South-side. Nearly every sohool ou the South-side now has a few colored children, but In some localities the prejudice is still strong against mixed schools. On the North-side, where tne colored population is more numerous, it is no trouble to maintain separate schools for them, People aro becoming more aud more liberal regarding mixed schools, but they have always oo3asioned the school board trouble." Dr. McLeod’s Intentions. Two telegrams have been sent to Rev. Dr. James McLeod, at Buffalo, N Y.; the first sent night before last, immediately after the church meeting, informing him of the call of the Second Presbyterian Church, with a statement as to salary, etc., and extending an invitation for him to occupy tne pulpit here to-morrow, and the second sent yesterday. Yesterday’s dispatch asked him when he could meet the committee on supply. In answer to the first dispatch he returned reply that he could not be here on Sunday. He has already been absent from his church in Buffalo two Sundays, and is disinclined to be away a third In succession. To the second telegram he replied that ho is ready to meet the committee at any time. The entire committee wiil not go to Buffalo, but those who do go will leave this morning at 11 o’clock. A letter received in answer to an inquiry of the committee, the writer a minister in Buffalo of another sect, says of Dr. McLeod: “In the pulpit and on the platform he is a strong sneaker; in pastoral duties, sympathetic and diligent; in sooial life, a most genial gentleman. He is a scholarly man, well read not only in theology, but in general literature and eoienee. He is a faithful worker among the poor, and esteemed by bis brethren in all the churches of Buffalo." Another Civil-Rights Meeting. The followlug call has been issued: “At a meeting of the oolored citizens it was deemed advisatde to continue the meeting held on last Monday evening, in order to discuss the moral effect of the overthrow of the civil-rights law. A supplementary meeting will accordingly he held at the Second Baptist Church on next Monday, the 29th inst., at 7 i*. M. A general invitation is extended to everybody to bo present. Committee on call: Rev. J. M. Harris'. 11. A. Rogan, Alfied Harrison, Rev. J. G. Winyard, John T. Mahorncy, James TANARUS, Hill, Johu G. Britton." The object of the proposed meeting is to have a public expression of opinion from representative colored tnen of the oity, and it promises to bo one of much interest. Gave Up the Struggle. It will be remembered that shortly after the City Counoil and Board passed the ordinance charging an anuual license of $52 for saloon, the Trades’ Assembly determined to test the legality of the ordinance and carry it to the Bupreme Court if necessary. Gotleib Moninger was selected to make the test case, but in the Superior Court, in special and general, term, the decision was against him. Yesterday he secured the necessary license, ami said that the ease would not I be contested further. , *
