COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. Semi-Annual Session of the National Protective Association. \ right To Be Made Against Exorbitant Kates at Hotels and on Railroads— Tlie Banquet Last Night. The semi-annual meeting of the Travelers* Protective Association of the United States was Judd at Lyra Hall yesterday. The morning see* •ten, which began at 10:30 o’clock, was occupied in an informal discussion of questions relating to the object of the organization. The nssociaitou was organized in Ohio less than a year and a half ago. The report of the secretary yesterday showed that the membership had increased from 37G in June last to 918, making a gain in less than six months of 542. The officers are J. M. McKinstry, of Cleveland, president; Matt. Foster, of Binghamton, N. Y., first vice-president, and John R. Stone, of Cincinnati. secretary and treasurer. There were about 200 members of the association, representing the cities of New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Louisville, in attendance at the meeting, and quite a large number of new members from this State were initiated during the dav. The object of the association is t *-©nre to traveling salesmen better accommodations and better terms at hotels and in railroad travel. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session the committee on rail roads reported that the C., 1., Bc. L. & C., The Bee-line and the C.. 11. A D. railroad comoan ms had offered to give advantageous terms, and had given the committee’s request fair consideration, while the agents of other companies •lad replied l>y referring them to the next ooo! meeting. In the dtscasslon of the Matter it was asserted that there are about 5.000 traveling showmen in the country, and they are given reduced rares for travel, wlnie there are as many as 150,000 traveling salesman, who. during the busy season, spend fully $375,000 a day in railroad fare, and they are compelled to nay full passenger rates, besides being charged for all their baggage. In epeaking upon the subject of securing cheaper rates for travel Mr. J. Z. Batton, of Philadelphia, Raid that no 80.000 men or 800,000 men could dictate to tlie Pennsylvania company, or any other company, the. terms which they “must give,” but if the association, us au organized body, representing the thousands of traveling men throughout the country, should ask reasonable rates they would doubtless he given fair consideration. The association’s power would come through the increase of membership. Besides n cheaper rare of travel tlio privilege of carrying 250 pounds of baggage froe.'is wanted. The committee on hotels reported some reforms that they had brought about in different hotels, and stated that by the next meeting of the association many of the hotels of Ohio and Indiana would he in better condition. There is no demand for a reduction of rates, but that hotels which charge $3 and $4 a day should give the worth of the money. There is no deposition to dictate terms, hut a demand for fair treatment. Amotion was adopted providing for the appointment of a committee of three in each Btato to increase the membership of the association. The president and secretary will appoint the committee* and give notification by letter. A committee was appointed with instructions to send out circulars to business men throughout the country, giving the object of the association. The secretary reported that sixty new members -had been admitted during the session, making the total membership about 1.000. Since the last meeting one member had died and two have been expelled. A memorial on the death of Charles Turner, of Detroit, a member of the association, who died last week at Marion, 0.. was adopted. A resolution was adopted making the Merchant Traveler, of Cincinnati, edited by W. J. Lamptou, the official organ of the association. The association adjourned at 5 o’clock. The next regular meeting will be held at Detroit, on lane 13, 1884.

The Ilanquct. The banquet given at the Grand Hotel last night was a most delectable affair. In all the details of arrangement it was complete and was characterized by a pleasing elegance. Between 250 and 300 ladies and gentlemen were seated at the two tables, which extended the full length Os the dining-room. The festivities of the occasion began at 9 o’clock and did not conclude until iuidDight. The menu was complete and elegant. Following the last course of the menu, Mr. George W. Geiger, of the local traveling men’s association, introduced the president of the Traveler’s Protective Association, J. M. MeKiustry, of Cleveland, who delivered a brief ad- , dress, in which he spoke of the objeets of the organization, its rapid growth, arid the things wliloh it might accomplish. In closing his remarks he introduced Hou. Stanton J. Peelle, who spoke briefly, and. In concluding his address, promised to do whatever he could that would aid the traveling men in accomplishing the object of their organization. The toast of “Clerks and their hotels” was responded tobyH. Pooks, and Mr. Harrison, of New York, added a few remarks on "Leather beef.” “Tiie Pilgrim’s Progress,” was a toast to which George C. Webster, Jr., of this city, responded. The “pilgrims” of whose progress he spoke were drummers, and, in nsing the word "drummer,” Mr, Webster said that he had never felt affronted at the appellation. “It matters not what bind of harness the horse wears,” he said, “so the horse does his work well.” The traveling salesman is a production of the last half century, he said, but during tbe last twenty-five years the number has increased until there are now upward of 200,000 in the United States, and as a olass they have formed an important factor in the civilization and commerce of the country. An impromptu song, after the air of “In tho morning by the bright light,” was sunghv O. P. PiDdell, of Jackson, Miob., all present joining m . the singing of the chorus. Mr. Poari V. Collins, of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, made an eloquent resoonse to a toast to “Tue press.” In the course of his eiassle remarks Mr. Collins said something to the effect that. “I am no orator like Brutus was, and I can’t make much of a speech in public on the stage, but the press, I tell you, is a rattliog good thing, and don’t you rorget it.” His remarks were interrupted on tbe rising and falling inflections by uproarous applause. The mental exertion was too great for mm to fully recover in time to respond to a prolonged encore. L. J. Elliott, of Racine, Wis , spoke in re"ponse to the snbjeot of “The cominevoal traveler as a factor in tho business world.” J. F. Filler, of Cincinnati, recited “Jim Bludsoe.” IX W. Coffin, secietary and treasurer of tho Indiana Traveling Association, spoke pertinently of “The sister associations,” explaining the relation which the different ones bear to each other, differiog ouiy in the form of orgouization. “Our mothers, our sweatuearts, wives and babies,” w-as a toast to which J, C. Johnson, of New York, made a very happy response. W. F. Henley, president of the Indiana association, spoke briefly in response to a call, and J. Z. Batton, of Philadelphia, spoke of the absent friends. Tho concluding toast was “Home, sweet home,” to whioh F. B. Clark, of Chicago, responded. Fallowing the banquet dancing was kept np until a late hour. The Case of Octavius Pierce. Octavius Pierce, the Chicago insurance agent, is under S3OO bonds, with U. J. Hamincind and Ttlius F. Pratt as sureties, to appear before luttiee Feibleman on the 23d instant, to answer ft olarge of violating the insurance laws. As has Vnen already noted, the grand jury ulso returneaan indictment against him for the same offense, but when the deputy sheriff went to place bin in custody he could not be found, and it is said that he has gone back to Chicago. The Hew Swindling Scheme. It will be remembered that one Harry, alias Walter, Curtis was arrested here a few days ago for attempting to carry on a fraudulent scheme hy means of the mails. He advertised in the Cincinnati papers for flfteen copyists for “the Cincinnati district,” and promised fifteen cents per hour for copying. Matter was to he delivered at the residences of tho employes and jailed for. He requested applicants to enclose

$1 for contract, and promised steady employment. His scheme was nipped in the bud here before he got anybody's money. His mail was retained from him as fraudulent. Ho was lined S2OO and costs, and, paying the same, left our iuhospit&hle city. It now appears that similar advertisements are appearing in the papers of other cities, requesting responses through the mails, addressed to “Curtis, copyist,” at Columbus, 0., and elsewhere. It seems the one am sled hero is but one of a number who are playing the same scheme in other cities. If the authorities act as promptly and effectually in other cities the Bcberao won’t work long. It is strange .that Intelligent people will continue to be cheated by such confidence games. If they would stop a moment tc think, they would know that large cities are not in need of copyists or clerks from other cities and places. AN ADROIT SWINDLE, By Means of Forged Checks an Expert Realizes About $2,000. On last Monday, between 9 and 10 o’clock tn the morning, well dressed except as to his gray overcoat, which was rather the worse for wear, came to tlio Union Stockyards. He gave his name as William Ziegler, and represented himself as hailing from Marion, Grant county. He remained for sometime that day at the office of Fort, Johnston & Cos., commission salesmen of live stock, where he stated he wanted to learn the market with a view to shipping nere. It seems that on this visit he picked up a number of business catds of the firm and made them the basis of one of the largest and cleverest swindles that has been perpetrated here for many a day. Late on Monday afternoon this man met William Z. Wickliue, a well-to-do farmer, who lives at Boylston, 6ix miles from Frankfort, near the Union Depot, and the two struck up an acquaintance. Ziegler vouchsafed the information that he w anted to buy a oai-load or so of good cattle. Mr. Wickliue said a neighbor of his. EliasSwackhamer, had nearly two car-load's, and the remainder, enough to make full two car-loads, could he made up. Ziegler, who had a ticket to Kokomo, went to a scalper’s office and sold it, and coming pack to The depot bought a ticket to Frankfort, and he and Wickliue went to Boylston, Ziegler staying with tile farmer that night. He told the fanner, to whom be represented himself as Johnson (or rather as Fort Johnson, seemingly not understanding that the names were those of two men), that he never carried much money with him, and that if he bought the cattle he would have to give a check on Fletcher’s bank at Indianapolis. He asked Wickliue to telegraph and satisfy liimself whether Fort, Johnston & Co.’s check was good, and the farmer did so, receiving answer that their check was good for any amount that they would be likely to draw one for. The cattle, nearly two car-loads, W’ere then bought of Swackhamer for $1,820, and Ziegler gave him a check on Fletcher’s bank for $1,845, receiving $25 in money for the difference. Mr. Wiekline’s interest in the transaction was that he was to be paid $25 for Ins assistance m loading the cattle at Boyleston and helping to get them to this city. Two heads were bought of another farmer in the neighborhood, for S7O, to help make a full load, and this payment was also made with a check on Fletcher’s bank, and signed by Fort Joliuson & Cos., with no comma letween the names Fort and Johnson. At Boyleston. Ziegler whs exceedingly liberal, and bought $2 worth or more of drinks for the men who loaded the cattle, for which he drew a check on Fletcher’s bank, which the saloonatio cashed, giving back $8 in good money. The cattle got to the stockyards here on Thursday morning, Wicklino coming along. The latter, however, did not go to the stockyards, Ziegler making an nppoinrment to meet him on Friday morning. Ziegler, as the cattle dealer, which part he played well, complaining of freight overcharges and shrinkage like an expert, showed the cattle to Fort, Johnston & Cos., who gave him a check for $1,8(10, which was cashed by him at 11 o’clock on Thursday, and soon after disappeared. The checks from Boyston came to Fletcher’s bank yesterday, aud were not paid, as the forgeries were so clumsily done that there was no difficulty in detecting them. Ziegler, as he first gave his name, is about thirty-five years old, weighs about 165 pouuds. and is five feet nine or ten Inches high. His beard was full, but cropped, while his mustache was long and heavy. He is dark skinned, hut liißface is reddened by drink; his beard and hair are dark, while his eyes are small, black anu piercing. He was last seen on South Illinois street, where he bought an overcoat about noon on Thursday. Whoever he is and wherever he may be, be is an exceedingly adroit performer. Os course the loss occasioned by the forgeries will fall exclusively on the Boylston parties who took his paper.

THE CITY IN BRIEF. In settling up the Crabtree estate, the administrator's claim was SSO, instead of SIOO as stated yeeterday, bat he only got $35. Elizabeth T. Clark has applied for a divorce from Beniamin T. Clark, to whom she was married in 1880, alleging desertion and failure to provide. The female base ball players did not play yesterday, on account of the cold, but are advertised to appear to-day. Game called promptly at 3 o’clock. Building permits were issued yesterday to Mrs. N.

Some months ago, when Judge Gresham was on the federal court bench, he sustained the plaintiff's claims iu the suit of Matthew Got.tiried, of Chicago, against the Crescent Brewery Company, of Aurora, and others for damages for the use of a patented process for “pitching” beer kegs. W. P. Fish back was appointed to apportion tlu various damaagea to be assessed, and yesterday he reported as follows: Crescent Brewery Company, $42,115.19; Goflf distillery, $5,460.45, and Eugene Hack, S7OO.

Interesting Iteports on the Subject Before the Scientists.

New Haven, L 16.—Tho National Academy of Sciences spent t of the day hearing reports regarding obs . atious of the solar eclipse of May 6,1883, made upou the Carolina islands bj r the expedition sent out by tbe academy and the coast survey jointly. According To Prof. E. 8. Holden, of Washburn observatory, Madison, Wie., the eclipse had the longest totality of any which has been observed. The four contacts were observed without any perceptible difficulty, and most excellent results were obtained. During the total phase there was absolutely no sol ar heat manifested, the earth being left in cold as well as darkness. This lasted nearly ten minutes. There was no wind of account during the entire visit of the party aud the barometer was notably uniform. Prof. Holden’s own observations were confined to a search for the planet Vulcan, reported to exist by Profs. Watson, Swift and Leverrier, and were made with a six-inch telescope, with a power ot forty-four and field of fifty-seven minutes in deolination. He saw every star on the map which he had previously published, down to the sixth magnitude inclusive, except the thirty 6ixth-magnitude stars nearest to the sun. One of the stars of the map was of the same magnitude as Watson’s “Vulcan,” and was a conspicuous object. No star half as bright as this could possibly have escaped observation. The Professor is therefore confident that Vulcan did nor exist within the limits swept over. Prof. Holden also determined the direction of the motion of the defraction bands before and after totality. While on the Island Prof. Holden and Dr. Hastings discovered twenty-three dcw double stars, a list of which is preserved. A complete topographical survey was made of tbe island for the first time in its existence, and better than that of any small coral island in the Pacific. Rome of the Hueient burial places and some apparently sacrificial spots were photographed. Prof. C. 8. Hastings, of Johns Hopkins College, Baltimore, had been appointed to report on tho spectroscopic observation of tho eclipse. The report was chiefly taken up with a consideration of the question whether or not the sun has an atmosphere. The Professor considered that the latest calculations did not warrant the supposi tion that there existed any solar atmosphere. He summed up the arguments pro and con on the question, and, although making no positive statement, argued that the existence of the 1.200,000 miles of solar atmosphere was not consistent with the accepted data of astronomy. He claimed that if the so-called ejected matter became luminous by preoipitatiou through the sun’s atmosphere, then tho comets, which in their perihelion pass through tbe assigned atmospheric space of the sun for many millions of miles, should also become incandcsccut and luminous. He made numerous other arguments with tbe same trend, but based on the laws of the popr*zulion of light. He, however, stated succinctly the many arguments that might be brought forward in favor of the generally adopted theory concerning a solar atmosphere. When the young professor began it was expected that the debate on Ids paper would be a warm one, but before be had finished tbe advocates of the solar atmosphere doctrine concluded that their views bad been fully set iortb, aud they took no part In tbe debate. Prof. 8. Newcombe read a paper on “Tbe use of the word light iu physics.” Tbe Professor, arter stating the method which physicists in this country had adopted of considering light and heat andcliemical agency identical in nature and name, argued for the adoption of anew system, which would obviate the difficulty now met with in estimating the three forces by degrees of light. All the physicists present took part in the debate which followed, and thev all agreed tliat-tbe common practices of estimating the strength of the three phases ol tbe same force by degrees of “light” was the host and only practicable method. * White Ants in a State-House. Boston, Nov. 16. —White ants have again been found in the State-house. A year ago a document in the dungeon in the basement was found to be curiously eaten, and tlie Harvard entomologist said that white ants were at work. A week ago a book of election returns was found badly eaten, with 200 of the insects between its covers. Governor Butler beard of it and instituted a thorough investigation. Several of the foundation timbers of The capitol are honeycombed, and it is uow supposed that the gradual sinking of tlie front end of tho building is due to tills cause. A few years ago white ants destroyed a railroad bridge at Porter’s fetation. They also honeycombed A1 van Clark’s famous telescope manufactory in Cambridge. WANTED.
