AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Personal and Local. Sunny Dal station, on the I. & St L. road, has been closed. The Vandali. is shipping daily from Lake Maxinkuckee, southward, forty ear-loads of ice. A meeting of the Middle and "Western States Lumber pool has been called at Columbus, O., on Thursday of this week. With the retirement of Mr.Reiuhart from the position of assistant general passenger agent of .the Lake Shore,-the office has been abolished, ft. L. Dickson, late auditor ot the I., B. & W. road, who left the company with a beclouded record, is now publishing a newspaperman Montana. C. E. Henderson, general manager of the L, B. & W. lines, who has been in Chicago for several days, working on pool matters, will return this morning. The officials of thf. C., II. & D. company, on Friday and Saturday of last week, made an inspection trip over the Cincinnati, Wabash & JJiicmgnn roaa. M. McDonald, general manager of the Cairo, Vincennes & Chisago road, was in the city, yesterday, to attend the funeral of his brother, Frank McDonald. The I., D. & S. elevator is blockaded, and for the time being the order that all grain coming in over that road must go through their elevator is partially rescinded. Ed Fishback. traveling passenger agent of the St. Paul. M. & M. road. will, on the 2Gth of this month, be married to Miss Callie Rooker, daughter of Calvin Rooker. Jerry Keneworthy, traveling auditor of the A., T. & S. F. road. will, on the 18th of this month, be married to Miss May McEwen, of Terre Haute. - Mr. Kene worthy's beadauarters are in Trinidad, Col. D. F. Whitcomb. superintendent of the Union Vailwav and Belt road, who has been so crippled for some days past as to confine him to the house, is so much improved that he expects to e at his office to-day. Kinzan & Co., of this city, have reasons for believing that east-bound rates on provisions are being cut out of Chicago, and they have asked the Indianapolis roads over which they ship to

wlneet the Chicago rates. Captain Hennesey, special agent of the Van

ualia, who has been confined to his house by a broken ankle for some weeks, is about a cam on crutches, and expects, in a couple of weeks, to be Able to assume his usual duties. The forty-third bound volume of the Financial Chronicle, embracing the period from July l to Dee. 31, 1886, is out, and adds one more vol ume to that business library which is so valua ble to every railroad and business man. , In the week ending Jan. 8 the five Western roads brought into Indianapolis 3.8S4 loaded cars, against 2,928 the corresponding week of 1880. and against 3.308 the corresponding week 1885, and 3,143 the corresponding week 1884. The five leading Eastern lines, namely, the Bee-line. theU, St L. & P., the I, B. & W., the C II. & I., and the C, I.. St. L. & C. last week forwarded east from this point 3,036 loaded cars, against 2,781 the corresponding week 1886. An official notice was issued Saturday, from Unnm Pacific headquarters, announcing the ap pointment of G. M. Cumming as assistant geneii manager of that road. For the past six months be has held the position of general land commissioner. The baggagemen on the Wabash road have re ceived notice from headquarters ordering that be checked hereafter which contain jewelry, This ruling has been in vogue on Western roads t for some time, and was made necessary by the Ifrequent claims for heavy damages. The newspapers are quick to agree that the -time has come for the abolition of the stove in ' the railway car. The Worcester Gazette voices t popular sentimeBt when it says: "We hope the . Kail road Commissioners will act in this matter, t and ict promptly. Tbey may be sure of having tht public behind them." iaJi'JL .Mil r .1 I T" 1 3 "-, 1 V"' rnnsy THiiin ivhu rowj uimpaDf 019 com pletfit,thirty-two freight locomotives, weighing i sixty tons eaeh. They will haul forty -five loaded iiars each, against thirty-five ears by locomotives : cow in use. Ab soon as the bridges have been strengthened sufficiently to accommodate them the new locomotives will be put into use. Wm. R. McKeen has been again elected president of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road, this being the twentieth time he has been elected to that position. The directors have declared their usual 3 per cent semi annual dividend. The -official roster of this well-managed road cover changes, unless death removes one of the cumber. New Albany Ledger: A railroad line is being purveyed through Bloomington and Monroe county, and the Bloomington newspapers cannot find out so much about it as even the name of the company. When a railroad starts out in . this part of Indiana it mighty Boon reveals itself by asking the city, or township, or county through which it passes to vote it a 2-per-cent tax. A. L. Fowble, chief clerk of C. A. Allen, master of trains on the Bee-line (Indianapolis division) has resigned, and left yesterday for El PaFO, Tex., where he has accepted the position of chief train -dispatcher on the Mexican & Central railroad. Cap was quite a favorite among the Bee-line boys, and they all regretted to Bee him go, but wish hint success in his new field cf labor. Indications now are that E. B. Thomas will goon have 7,000 miles of railroad under his general managership, as the next move in the general 8chme of consolidation is said to be the 4Antrnl nf th TTIaot. Ttincu itid Vn KunAi. .& Charleston by the Norfolk & Western, and the combination of these last three with the Richmond Terminal, thus giving this latter company control of about seven thousand miles of toads. Terre Haute Mail: The friends of Charles Taylor, the Vandaha conductor, sounjustly convicted of manslaughter at Plymouth, are arranging to give him a benefit ball at Dowling Hall, in February. The idea is meeting with encouragement, and the result will doubtless be the realisation of a handsome sum of money for himself and family. The feeling is general that his conTicuuD was unjust, ana nis irienas win express mis in a suosiantiai manner ll the opportunity is allowed them. II E. Watchman, theatrical agent of the Pennsylvania lines, headquarters Cleveland, O., has resigned, and the position has been abolished. It is gradually creeping through the 'craniums" of general passenger agents that the theatrical business, as now handled, is a leak on earnings. In the first place, troupes are carried At very low rates; then to secure such troupes About one half the number demand passes, and then a car-load of baggage must be hauled for nothing, and in case a train is late a special train has to be run to accommodate the troupe. Philadelphia papers are still scoring the new management of the Philadelphia & Reading road for the radical changes they are making, more especially that so many of the old emploves are beine dropped from the service. The affairs of the Reading railroad are. no doubt, such as to compel a radical retrenchment of its working expenses, but whether it is worth while, for the sake of the small saving effected, to throw over employes who have spent their liTes in the company's service, and who are too old now to find A new master, may well be doubted. It will cer tainly not tend to make the company popular. Lvry day cases are reported where men who l-ve been in the employment of the road for twenty, thirty, forty years are cast adrift in or (fier to save the wages paid them. The messengers' slate published in the Journal a few mornings since as regards the chances in the official roster of the American Express Comany is proving to be quite correct On the 8th of this month H. S. Julier become general wianager, headquarters New York, and R. D. iluches becomes general superintendent C G. Kingsbury, of Cincinnati, becomes division tjiperintendent of Ohio and Indiana. J. D. Turner, of Dayton, will sncceed Mr. Kingsbury as agent at Cincinnati. We are not at libertv to jive other contemplated changes. Mr. Julier, ' wbe is made general manager, has filled every position in the egress service, ne began his career, It is said, a an office boy in a Canadian express office. In 1805 be came to Cleveland as rente agent for the American Express Company, ind two years latsr was appointed division

superintendent . In 1877 he was appointed general superintendentof the southwestern division, a position which he has held since.

Making: a Good Beginning. The train records for the week ending Jan. 8 show that a fair volume o traffic is moving, and inquiry shows that the exhibit would have been even more favorable but for the general com plaint that cars are scarce. The oldest freight men say that they have never before known a scarcity of cars to prevail so long as it has this siege. Neither in local nor through business can cars be commanded to move property as prompt ly as is desirable. An examination cf the weekly statement shows that a total of 19,010 cars were handled last week, against a total of 18,460 in the week ending Jan.-l, and against 17,499 the corresponding week, 18F6. However, it will be noticed that 216 fewer loaded cars were handled last week than in the .week preceding, while there weie 2.215 more loaded cars received and forwarded at this point last week than in the first week of January, 1886. This statement is certainly gratifying, as it shows that the im provement m railroad traffic is of a healthy "character. East bound there is a good export movement, white the shipments of grain to in terior points of Isew York and ew Enuland are not as heavy as lastcaonth. West bound, the tonnage is a surprise. The Bee-line last week brought West eighty -five more loaded cars than were forwarded, while the C. St L. & P. brought in from the East 254 more loaded cars than were forwarded. North and south roads continue to do a good business. Shipments of grain and pro visions to fcouthern markets are heavy, ana northward Southern lumber forms an important feature in business. Cotton, as well, is moving northward -in considerable quantities. Local business continues excellent, both in an outbound. Live stock, coal and lumber form a large per cent, of the traffic of a local character handled. Below is given the number of cars re ceived and forwarded at this point in the week ending Jan. 8, as compared with that of the pre ceding, and the corresponding week of 1886:

Chief Engineer Healey and his associate engi neers, on Friday ladt, completed the surveys for the new bridge over the river at Cairo, and a force of one hundred men will be put at work this morning on the great enterprise. Both ap proaches will be one and a half mile long each. and the bridge proper, between the piers, will be nearly a mile lone, making the entire structure about four miles long. The Kentucky approach will run mainly through Capt. W. P. Hallidays land, and he has made all necessnry concessions. The Illinois approach will not require any trestle work, but will be solid earth and stone-work, beginning at a point some distance above the Cross levee, on the main line, and coming down in a curve, parallel with the main track and the Cross levee, striking the river about opposite the cotton compress. The bridge will be fiftythree feet above high water, which will bring it one hundred and five feet above low-water mark there. The grade will be about thirty-five feet to a mile, and the top of the first stone pier on the Illinois side will be about thirty-six and a half feet above the top of the levee. Railroad Earnings.

The Governor of Minnesota advises regulation and general reduction of railroad tariffs, and urges legislation against watering stock and the giviug of free passes. The Philadelphia Times says it is understood that nearly 1,200,000 tons of steel rails have been entered for 1987 delivery, which is at least equal to eight months' full work for all the mills.. The Chicago, Santa Fe & California Railroad Company has completed arrangements for building a railroad bridge at Fort Madison. Ia. Work has been commenced on this line, which will be completed June 1, 1SS8. Railroad stocks are again on the boom. The average decline in the active stocks from Dec. 8 to Dec. 16 was about 11 points. The average reccvery from these lowest priceB to the highest prices Saturday was about 7 points. The Montana Central road has been graded the entire length from Rimini to Great Falls, but the rates demanded by the Union and Northern Pacific roads for the transportation of rails and materials have utterly blockaded the project for eighteen months. President Perkins, of Chicago, Burlington & Qaincy. says the passage of the interstate bill would be advantageous neither to the public nor to the roads, and it would simply compel a readjustment of railway relations with the people and competing lines. The famous Hoosac tunnel has passed from the control of the State of Massachusetts. It is now the property of a corporation formed by the union of the Fitchburg Railroad Company, the Troy & Boston Railroad Company, and the Commonwealth Railroad and Tunnel Company. . The Chicago & Alton directory has decided to abandon its system of publishing earnings weekly, and instead give them out, when verified, once a month. There were many objections to the weekly publications from the fact that they were, as a rule, approximated, and varied from the actual. Philadelphia American: The announcement that the Sully party had been elected to the Richmond Terminal directory was accepted as meaning the first step in the formation of the Southern combination by the absorption of the Georgia Central. On this, Richmond Terminal rose like a rocket. Will it come down again like the stick? TheN ew York Tribune opposes the interstate commerce bill for the reason, among others, that "it would operate powerfully to abolish competition through the building of new lines. Where a railroad, " it says, "penetrates a certain territory no capitalist will dare to build another And the people of that territory will be left to the mercy of an absolute monopoly." J. F. Crank, president of the Los Angeles & San Gabriel Valley railroad, bas sold that road to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and will go into the Atchison combination as a Pacific coast director, and probably as a resident vicepresident of the syndicate. The San Gabriel road and the Atchison branch from San Ber-1 nardino are rapidly approaching each other. The Union Pacific has revoked the order Introducing the twenty-four-hour system of keeping time. The revocation was a surprise, as the twenty-four-hour system had been printed on the back of the time-cards for two years, and had been put into actual use in Nebraska and on the Idaho division. It is said that President Adams distrusted the new system, and by his order it was abandoned.

EEY. MIE0N W. REED'S VISIT.

The Possible Embarrassment That an Expected Imperial German Ileir May Bring;. Rev. Myron W. Reed, now of Denver, is at the Bates House, where a Journal reporter called upon him yesterday "I got here," said Mr. Reed, who is looking very well, "at 11 o'clock to-day, direct from Denver, and will be here about all the week. This is the best year Denver has ever had. The city is improving all the time. I see that in exchange the reports put her. ahead of Cleveland and Milwaukee, almost up with New Orleans, our exchange being now over $3,000,000 a week on an average. We have three smelters running day and nigbt seven days in the week. The First Congregational .Church of Denver, where I preach, now has a membership of 350 and a congregation of about a thousand all that can be seated. We lost a couple of Republican families during the campaign. There was some accession of Democratic families. Our politics are quite different from yours here in Indianapolis. Some of the first families out there are Democratic During the last campaign almost the whole issue was monopoly and anti-monopoly, not so much a matter of Democracy and Republicanism. 'Indiana holds up well out there. Thebngnt est lawyer in the State, Tom Patterson, studied law in tne omce or uenerai uew im" Crawfordsville. Lafe Pence, another Tanp another hripht lawyer there, is a graduate of Hanover. Me is now a candidate for county judge. We haven't any 'old citizens' out there of the kind you have in Indianapolis. We don t want them. "As good a class of people aB we have are from the South. We have a confederate army nost. and their bovs come over on invitation to visit our bovs of the Grand Army of the Re public, and we return their visit A Democratic Governor is to be inaugurated on the 11th. We got that much of the ticket anyway." The conversation drifted along and Mr. Reed discussed the crowned heads of Europe briefly. 'I notice" he 6aid. "the family of Queen Victo ria is still increasing, adding to the weight of the British pension list. There's something of the same sort in Germany. I see by the papers that there is in an appropriation bill an item of 3G.000 marks $9.000 for another heir to the Crown Princess. The baby isn't born yet, but is due and dailv exnected. What would be the effect on the appropriation if it should happen to be twins?" GOING TO CHEAPER QUARTERS. Mrs. Woodworth's Collections Trove Insuffic 'it to ray lier rresent nan expenses. Two green flags, emblematic of patriotic Erin, hung doggedly above the beads of Mrs. Woodworth and her troupe at their services yester day, liut it is tne last time they will do so, as Mrs. Woodworth has been compelled, by the managers of Masonic Hall, to evacuate, and she has found a new home in the African M. E. (Jhurch, on .Michigan street jiear Indiana ave nue, where her labors will bo prosecuted with her usual vigor. Yesterday capped the climax in numbers who could not resist the power, and in the after noon eight, and in the evening a dozen more, lay in a trance about the altar. But preceding the evening services the experience of several re claimed sinners who had passed through the trance act were related, and the accounts were more graphic because of their effort and evident sincerity, than from their diction and ideas. The same experiences, of seeing relatives, pits of damnation and the like, were repeated by each until the thing became monotonous. One woman asked for more trances they could call it the devil if you liked but she wanted more. An admission fee of 10 cents was charged last nignt, aud tne reason of tms was that the man aging committee who have charge of the thing are $80 short in their work, and they cannot live off the collections, which amount to only $4 or $5 a 'day. The rent of Masonic Hall is $70 a week, which was not more than half paid by the collections. At the African Church, however, no admission will be charged, but the usual collection will be taken up. The audience was very large yesterday afternoon ami last even ing, and standing room could scarcely be found. Pick pockets made a raid on the audience after the servicas were out and made quite a haul. Attorney Israel Klingensmith lost a gold watch and chain, and one gentleman reported at the station-bouse the loss of his pocket-book, con taining several dollars. A half-dozen other persons, who did not report, are said to have lost 6mall amounts. Scarcity of Quails and Squirrels. ' Game bas been plentier this year than for a decade," remarked a market-house dealer on Saturday night "The exceptions," he contin tied, "have been small game, especially squirrels and quails. Heretofore we have bad no trouble in securing the quails and squirrels from the hunters of the surrounding country, but this year we have bad to depend largely on the mere remote counties-Hnaostly those down White river." "How do you account for this scarcity?" was asked. "Well, I hardly know, unless, in the case of quail3, it is because the law regulating their killing is not observed as it should be. The squirrels, as the country becomes more thickly settled, are leaving for the States further west I think it would be a good thing for . the present Legislature to pass a law prohibiting the killing of quails for five years." The Revival at Central Christian Church. The revival services at the Central Christian Church promise to be of tinusual interest Rev. to assist Mr. Gantz, is a preacher of more than ordinary ability and power. Sis sermons yes terday on "Greater Works than These Shall You Do," and on "Prayer and Providence," were very interesting. He will preach every night this week, beginning the service promptly at 7:30 o'clock. ' 'II II Popularity of the Toboggan Sport. The toboggan slide has become a popular amusement. The last fall of snow has made the slide perfect, and Saturday night several hun dred persons were in attendance attempting to get a whirl. The managers have added a large number of new toboggans, and are still unable to accommodate all who attend. During last week there wer several parties at the slide, and three or four are booked for this week. tfork on the Y. M. C. A. Building;. Work has been suspended on the Y. M. C A. building until warmer weather comes. The stone and brick work and the roof on the rear portion o? the building is all completed. Not more than two months' time will be required to finish the structure after work is resumed, and, it mere are no ninarances, tne building will oe ready for occupancy early in the spring. " . Journeying to a New Home. The largest body of immigrants that has been seen at the Union Depot for some time passed through yesterday afternoon. Thev came direct from New YorK, and were fifty in number, most ly Germans, with a sprinkling of English and Irish. They were destined for various points in the West, where land has already been entered for them by friends who came ahead. Disclosures Regarding Conaughton's Murder. It is rumored that the grand jury is disclosing some very damaging facts in the Conaughton murder case, and there is a strong belief pre vailing in police eircles that an Indictment will

be returned against some one. Captian Colbert

has prepared for the use of the Jury a diagram of the house and yard where the shooting occurred, that they may better understand the situation of all the persons present ' There is considerable criticism of tha-coroner, because be did not take up the case sooner after the killing and make the investigation more searching. Some of the witnesses have been allowed to get away. and cannot be located, and because of this the investigation may be hampered somewhat TI0L1T1XG THE LAW AGAIN. Under the New Police Administration the Sa loons Generally Besume Sunday Selling. The saloons yesterday carried on their busi ness the same as on other days. All the places on Washington treat were onen. And ut most of them admittance could be gained in the usual way through the front door. A few of the more timid saloon-keepers kept their front doors locked, and passed the thirsty through the side or rear aoor. The nolica offered but little in terference. One or two conscientious patrolmen attempted to do their duty, but when they found they were to receive no encouragement, they allowed the violators to go undisturbed. McCain wV, voa . v. . - , , . . ... . k4. " " ocuo wu" "la ""KX 40 George W. Dipple, who keeps a place on the corner of Michigan and Pine streets, selling early yesterday morning and escorted mm to the station-house. Whether Mr. McCain will be dismissed for this performance of duty remains to be seen. . J. W. Fisher, who has been the subject of much complaint on ac count ot tne character of his place on the lower end or Virginia avenue, was arrested by patrolman niggins. He was not caught selling anything, and was therefore charged with desecrat ing the Sabbath. Altogether it was just the sort of a day the saloons admire, and they are boasting that they are once more on top. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Judson Pratt, of Philadelphia, vesterdav. ad dressed the Association of Stationary Engineers upon "Valve Motions and the Principle In volved." in the Blackford Block. The Young People's Social and Literarv Circle of Central-avenue Church will meet on Wednes day night this week, instead of Friday, as heretolore, at the residence of Mr. J. B. Conner.

YESTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION.

(The following items of news appeared in our Second Edition of Sunday: A Disastrona Shipwreck. Nobfolk, Va.. Jan. 8. One of the most disastrous shipwrecks which ever occurred on the Virginia coast, happened at 2 o'clock this morn ing, near the Little island iife-savmg station, fourteen miles south of Cape Henry. Not less than twenty, and probably more, lives were lost, among them five life-saving men, who, in the discharge of their duty, were drowned. The morning was bitterly cold, and a blinding snow-storm prevailing, with the wind blowing a gale from the northwest. During a lull iu the storm the life-saving patrol from Little Island life-saving station sighted a large ship stranded on the bar about eight hundred yards from the shore. When he saw the vessel he was going to meet the patrol from Dam Neck station and exchange checks showing that both patrolmen bad been to the end of their beat The Dam Neck patrol was only a few yards distant when the vessel was sighted, and both fired rockets to notify the crew of the stranded ship that she had been 6een. They hurried back to their respective stations and gave the alarm. In a little while both crews, with life-boats and apparatus, were abreast of the wreck, and the boom of a mortar announced that a line had been shot out to the ill-fated vessel. The shot was unsuccessful, and a second was fired with like result After firing six unsuccessful shots, the life-saving men determined to brave the fury of the sea and the death that seemed certain to await their venture? The word of command being given by Captain Eelanza, of lifesaving station No. 4, known as Little Island, six of the most expert boatmen manned each boat At his command the men gave way with a will; and, in a moment, both boats were breasting the furious waves. They reached the ship in safety, and five of the ship's crew were taken in a life boat, and ten in a ships boat, whicn was launcnea for the purpose. The boats headed for 6hore, and not a word was spoken, for each man realized tne awiui peril which surrounded them. With a steady pull the two boats were making good headway for shore, when a wave of great power struck both boats, capsizing them instantly and pitch ing their twenty-two occupants into the boiling sea. Then began a desperate struggle tor me, and with many of the men it was a prolonged one. The horrified life savers on the beach were powerless to assist their drowning comrades or the unfortunate strangers. The drowning men were carried southward by the seas, and some of them were washed ashore. As thev came within reach thev were picked up, and endeavors were made to revive them, and in two instances with success, although one of the two is badly injured. - The vessel is the German ship Elizabeth, Capt Halberstadt. from Hamburg to Baltimore, and not one of her crew survives her wreck. Her cargo is. unknown, as the high seas have thus f prevented any attempt to reach her. it is tWugh she is leaking badly, and at sunset ner masts were thought to be eiving away. Of the m m a life-saving crew the following were lost: ABEL BELANZA, captain of No. 4, known as Little Island. J. W. LAND, same station. GEORGE W. STONE, same. J. A. BELANZA. of Dam Neck Station, and brother of Abel. JOSEPH SPRATLEY, of Dam Neck. . John Etheridge and Frauk Tetford, of No. station, were washed ashore and resuscitated, but Etheridge is so badly injured that it is thought he cannot survive. Washington, Jan. 8. The signal corps sta tion at Dam Neck, Va., reports that the masts of the stranded ship are loose, and that she will probably be a total wreck. No. particulars of the casualties, beyond those contained in the Norfolk dispatch, have been received. Misers' Hoarded Wealth. Philadelphia, Jan. 8. A search, to-day, of the house where the two old men, Joseph Perry and Richard Price, were found lying dead yes terday, brought to light a large amount of hidden treasure. Perry was the one who owned all the riches. He retired from a firm of auctioneers several years ago, with independent means, and took Price, who was his cousin, as a companion. He was a close-fisted man, and scarcely allowed himself the necessaries of life. The house, JSo. 1025 Locust street, where the two old men lived, and where they were found yester day lying on tne Moor dead, is a dilapidated two-story trame structure, and ito interior was even more wretched than its outwara appearance. Its occupants never held any communication with their neighbors, but the neighbors, on one or two occasions, mani fested an interest in them far enough to make complaint to the board of health of their frightful filth. Both the old men appeared on the street clad as beggars, and always looked halt, starved, wretched, drunken and besotted. In an undertaKer's establishment the ' bodies lay to-day, ghastly In death. Their appearance was revolting, and showed a frightful condition of personal neglect A post-mortem examination was made to-day, and the inquest will be held on Mondav. This afternoon the coroner's messenger, with three distant relatives of Perry and a lawver. began a search of the filthy old house. They began in the second-story front room, and before they had proceeded far on their hunt had un earthed substantial evidences of hidden wealth. Removing a filthy coverlet from the bed, an old dirty piece of paper was found containing bank notes amounting to $13; a small parcel next dis covered contained $40 in gold; an old, dirtv canvas bag held $500 in bright gold coin of the denominations of $5, $10 and $20; and $170 in bright, new gold certificates were wrapped in a piece of filthy cloth. Another bed in the room was then searched, and the first thing found was $300 In fifty-dollar gold certificates. wrapped as -the other, in eld rags .and paper, and stuck under t ho corner of the mattress. An old Tag tied around the bed ry it was found to contain $945 in gold pieces. In addition to the packages Containing the money, great piles of paper were brought out in old musty boxes. They contained deeds to property, mortgages, bank-books, insurance policies, ground rents and other valuable documents. The amount of cash -found footed up $2,157, and the securities discovered are valued at $76,000. These discoveries bring the total ar.iount up to about $100,000, a large sum having been found yesterday. Anxious to be Saved from Hit Friend. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Nework, Jan. 8. The Commercial Adver tiser this evening says: "It is understood that the Rev. Dr. McGlynn is very much shocked by Henry George s sensational article in the Standard. Friends of the suspended pastor say that the article in question will influence him to withdraw quickly from a position that, from the beginning, has placed him in a false light The Rev. Dr. Charles McCready has been appointed pastor of St Stephen's Church, to succeed Dr. McGlynn. Dr. McCready is known as one of the most popular priests in the diocese.

New York, Jan. a- The situation in regard to tne coai-nanaiera strike is gradually growing worse, and the outlook is serious. L. R. Bar rett, agent for the Lehigh Valley Coal Com pany, said this afternoon that no business is being done by his company, and that if the strike continues a week or ten days there will be a coal famine. He said that the companies did not propose to give in to the strikers, and as to wages, the men have been able to make from $65 to $110 a month. When asked if, by the transfer of ears on floats, something of a supply could be I oroished the city, he shook; his head

and 6aid there were not, probably, twenty-fiv floats in the harbor of the kind necessary, and

that their capacity was only three hundred tons each. Retail dealers in the city have advanced the price fifty cents a ton, and the coal-yards are, as a rule, onl scantily supplied and some of them empty. The wholesale dealers have not advanced prices, however. Debate on the German Arm; Rill. Berlin, Jan. 8. Printed copies of the amend ed army bill will be distributed in'tha Reichstag on Monday. 1 he debate on the second reading of the meas ure, on 1 uesday, promises to be a stormy one. Prince Bismarck has announced his intention ot remaining in Berlin until the fate of the bill shall have been decided. In government cir cles less confidence is felt as to the passage of the bill, and there are indica tions ithat Prince Bismarck is open to a compromise. It is believed he would accept an amendment limiting the operations of the bill to five years, but he will certainly reject any proposal for a term of three vears, and will im mediately dissolve the Reichstag if that body persists in thus amending the bill. The govern ment relies upon the fears of a dissolution in fluencing the members of the Centre and Progressists parties, and -one of the results of an election would probably be a reduction iu their numbers. The temper displayed by the Clerical members of the commission toward the close of the debate showed no symptoms of ''dread of a dissolution of Parlia ment Herr - Winathorst, the Clerical leader, bad a sharp interchange of words with General Von Schellendorff on a remark bv the former that Germany was living in a state of pro found peace; that she was in alliance with Austria ana Russia, while she was men- ' aced nowhere. General Von Schellendorff de clared that as War Minister be had nothing to ' do with political considerations, adding that the government had not had reason to expect that the Reichstag would oppose the septennate. The bill had already been twice voted, and he was confident that the Reichstag would finish by voting for it again. Herr Windthorst responded angrily that the Reichstag would make no concession beyond what the commission recommended, even if menaced with r-coup d' etat Further soreuess was caused by General Von Schellendorffs refusal to state or discuss what financial resources the government relied on to cover the extra expenditures. On the whole, the prospects are unfavorable to the government. The voting in the Reichstag will probably be in the same ratio for the triennate as ia the commission. Searching; for an Embezzler.
