Rhode Island's Year of Prohibition. Providence Telegram. What has been accomplished tinder prohibition! Is there any less intoxicating stuff sold? Very little, if any. Have any drunkards been reclaimertl Let these who know of any instances of that kind proclaim them. Has any money been diverted from beer to bread! Here, again, we require further information. Are there any fewer drunken women? Are there any fewer drunken minors? Sellers appear to be about as conscienceless in selling to these two classes as they were under license. They broke the law then, and they do so now, and people let them break it now as then. To sum up, then, nothing has been accomplished.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. A Die Legal Fight In ProspectIn commenting on the suit for possession which the Pennsylvania Company has brought against the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company, the Philadelphia Inqn'rer says: "The Pennsylvania railroad, or, properly speaking, the St. Louis, Vandalia& Terre Haute company, has asked the conrts for an injunction restraining; the Terre Haute te Indianapolis railroad from operating the St. Louis. Vandalia & Terre Hante under the existing lease or operating contract. Tbe Pennsylvania takes the position that the contract was never a legal one, and it is said its position is upheld by a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court. This suit brings once more to the notice of the public one of tbe greatest railroad wars ever known that between the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio. Already the purchase of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road baa made a more bitter warfare than ever before between the Pennsylvania and tbe Baltimore & Ohio, which is likely to grr-v in severity, especially in the West, as this last attempted blow was at the vitals of our great company- The Baltimore & Ohio's main-line traffic ia being cnt into by the extension of Pennsylvania branch lines. The Piedmont extension, which is already built, has an injunction snit with the Baltimore & Ohio s to a crossing. A new line into the heart of West Virginia, further west, is projected in the interest of the Pennsylvania railroad. Both of these lines will enter the coal and lumber regions heretofore reaehed only by the Baltimore & Ohio. Local and State Notes. The I., B. & W. is arranging for one of its grand excursions to Niagara Falls in the early part of next month. "SI. R. Maxwell, agent of tho Lake Erie & Western at this point, is so ill as to be compelled to stay at home. The Ll, N. A. & C. people are building 100 coal cars of 40,000 pounds capacity at their shops in New Albany, and they have 400 box cars yet to be delivered on old contracts. Business at tbe elevators is beginning to improve, thirty-one cars having been loaded for tbe East at elevator D yesterday twenty for Detroit and eleven for Philadelphia. The permanent classification committee of the Central Traffic Association has elected G. E. Gill chairman, vice R. SL Frazer, resigned. P. P. Rainer has been elected secretary. On the 12th of July the Lake Erie & Western will run an excursion to Michigan City. The train will leave the Union Depot at 6 a. m., and on the return leaves .Michigan City at 7 p. ?L ' The re-establishment of the headquarters of the Detroit & Eel River road at Logansport has instilled new life into the town. The Loganites have always felt core over the Wabash removing them to Peru. s George Brecount, general agent of the L. , N. A. & C. at this point, has obtained a leaye of absence for ten days, and will spend the time at West Baden Springs. Accompanied by his wife he will leave for the springs to-day. The belief gains ground in railroad circles that, no matter which way the fieht for possession of the St Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute road terminates, it means the building of another road between Indianapolis and St. Louis. President Slackey, of the Evansville & Terre Hante road, says that the dividend just declared of 1J per cent, has been fairly earned in tbe last three months, and that the money paid in dividends is not done at tbe expense of tbe physical condition of the property. The West Shore fast-freight line announce that they are again ready to tak business out of Indianapolis, having made arrangements with the C, H. & D. people to work out of here via Toledo. Wm. Parmellee has already pulled off his coat, and is pitching in for business. Inquiry develops the fact that the heavy shiornents of grain now going forward for export via Philadelphia are owing to the lower ocean rates shippers are able to secure through that port, there being a larger number of vessels there to load with export business than usual. The Lake Erie & Western is making: a big drive for Detroit business, as well as for Sandusky. The Detroit & Eel River road is willing to work freight traffio with them, even if they did order off the through sleeping coach which ran between Indianapolis and Detroit. The general passenger agents of the roads in the Western States' Passenger Association have about come to tbe conclusion that it would be a

wise thing to abolish the colling of tickets in blocks of five and twenty, as the scalpers reap a large harvest through this class of tickets. The citizens of Vincennes begin to want the Vincennes & New Albany road built, whether the chops are located at Vincennes or New Albany. A few weeks ago the understanding was that in no case would Vincennes vote aid to the enterprise unless the shop3 were to be located at that point. The Pennsylvania Company is buying real estate in Scranton, Pa., with the intention of providing extensive and snitable terminals for the road at that point. For the time being tbe Pennsylvania Company is to nse the tracks of the Del aware & Hudson Canal company, between Wilkesbarre and Scranton. Most of the Indiana roads, where arrangements have not already been made, are preparing to post daily the weather reports at the more prominent stations on the line. It is a great convenience to business men and farmers to know, with a large degree of certainty, what the weather is to be twenty-four hours in advance. The excellent fire department connected with the Pennsylvania Company's shops at Fort Wayne and the apparatus they have to work with doubtless prevented a disastrous fire on Tuesday last. Afire in one of tbe shops which had made considerable headway -was put out without the aid of the Fort Wayne fire department. The Pennsylvania Company is arraingine to again do business between Cleveland and Chicago. They reach Cleveland over the Cleveland & Pittsburg. When the new law went into effect they stopped doing business by this line between Cleveland and tbe Northwest, but now they seem to have hit upon a plan by which they can resume and not conflict with the law. James SIcCrea, general manager of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, is still too ill to perform bis official duties, but he hopes to be in Indianapolis the early part of next week to attend to several important matters. Sir. SIcCrea has some trouble with his head, caused by overwork, and his physicians recommend as much freedom from brain work as he can possibly get. The Terre Haute Gazette says that the St. , Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute road was leased to the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company before a shovelful of the dirt in its construction was thrown. It also says that after a seventeen-year lease, during which time between 30 and 35 per cent, of the gross earnings have been paid as rental, it looks a little late to ba talking about the lease not being legally good. It is believed in the higher railroad circles that should the Pennsylvania Company carry their point and force the St Louis. Vandalia & Terre Haute road into the hands of a receiver. Col. Joseph nill will be appointed. It was at the suggestion of the Pennsylvania Company that Col. Hill was first made superintendent of the Vandalia lines, and the Colonel is held in high esteem by the Pennsylvania people, who well know his ability. A meeting of the C, H. & D. stockholders will be held Aug. 6, to vote on a proposition to lease the Dayton. Fort Wayne & Chicago road for 999 years, renewable forever, upon the following terms: The C., II. & D. to guarantee the inter est on 41 per cent, bonds at the rate of $21,000 per mile, the total issue not to exceed $5,500,000 in the aggregate. The D., Ft W. & C. extends from Deans, O-, to Dayton, and will thence be built via Celina or Slercer to Fort Wayne, where it will connect with the Nickel-plate for Chicago. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania, and Charles Rockwood. general passenger agent of the C, H. & D., had auite an interesting conference on Thursday. Sir. Ford proposed to consolidate tbe outside offices at Indianapolis and thus cnt down expenses, which are heavy to both roads as they are now operated, cut Sir. Rock wood thought it would be unwise on the part of tbe C, II. & D. to take such a step and declined. Sir. Ford then proposed that the C, H. & D. place a full line of their tickets in the offices of the Pennsylvania Company, the latter, in turn, to place their tickets in the C, H. & D. offices. This arrangement Sir. Rockwood consented to. and next week the proposition will be carried ont General and Miscellaneous. It is said that tbe C, B. & Q. people are considering a scheme to reach Texas trade by building an extension through Fort Worth. President Blood is not disposing of the new bonds issued on the Cleveland & Canton road so readily as he supposed they would be taken. The Michigan Central's grand hotel at Slackinaw Island will be opened on the 15th of July. It is said to be the largest summer-resort hotel west of New York. The Philadelphia & Reading road is building at its own shops 100 tubular iron cars. They weigh less than wooden cars and have a carrying capacity of 60,000 pounds. Passenger rates between St Louis and Chicago are a good deal demoralized. Scalpers offices are full of tickets which tbey sell at $5, reading over two lines between those cities. With the approval of the managers of the Wabash Western, the Missouri Pacific, and the

Iron Slountain roads, E. G. Thompson has been appointed acting superintendent of the St Louis terminals of the lines named. Tbe Legislature of Alabama has passed a law requiring all loeoniotive engineers running on tbe roads in that State to -pass an examination and procure a license from a board of examiners appointed for that purpose, the engineers to pay the expense of the examination. The law also holds engineers responsible for damage to person or property caused by their carelessness. Last year the Russian government assigned $15,000,000 for tbe construction of railways, but has decided to omit an appropriation for 1338 in order to keep down the increasing deficits. Consequently the construction of railways will be almost wholly suspended next.' year. , Again3t this decision Russian papers are waging a crusade, predicting all manner of economic evils unless the building of railroads is kept up. The Railway Age of yesterday publishes a statement showing tho number of foreclosure sales and receiverships in the six months ending June 30. It appears that during the past six months nineteen railway companies, with a bonded debt of $67,103,000 and a nominal stock of $89,770,000, have been sold under the orders of the court, and passed into the bands of new proprietors. During tho six months only five roads passed into the bands of receivers, with liabilities amounting to $18,000,000. The mechanical department of the Ea3t Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia are experimenting with a new smoke-preventing device for locomotives. They use table gratfis with diagonal slots or openings one-half by three inches, and thirtyfour such openings in each grate. Tho grate next to the fire-box door is made stationary, and a back is cast upon it which is slotted. The back damper is kept shut and the front one open when running. The air passes in over the back dead grate and gets partly heated before reaching the fire, the supply by that opening being provided to make up for the restricted supply that passes through the contracted grate openings. The arrangement works well as a smokepreventer and saves fuel, the narrow openings in tbe grates preventing the waste of coal that is usually caused by the fine coal falling into the ash-pan. When tbe crates are shaken the drumming sound that follows the shaking of grates with wide openings is not heard.

LABOR INTERESTS. A Prospect of Serious Opposition to tbe New Constitution of the Knights of Labor. New Yobk, July 9. There will be a very vigorous kicking against the new constitution of the Knights of Labor which goes into effect on Monday, according to the general executive board. At least 300 local assemblies in- this neighborhood will refuse to be guided by its provisions. District Assembly 75, which voted against it to a local, will run tbe risk of suspension rather than work under it Some of the Knights opposed to it doubt the accuracy of tbe count by which the executive board declared it adopted. They would Use to look at the official list of locals that voted for and against it The new administration of District 49 is in the long list of objectors. It is said that the new constitution was unconstitutionally projected, even if the count was all right One of the features in the new constitution that is particularly objectionable is the compulsory tax of two cents a head a month for the co operative fund managed by the executive board. If the locals had been permitted to vote on each article separately, this feature would have been rejected by a big majority, but they were compelled to reject or accept the constitution as a whole. There will be a general refusal of the assemblies hereabouts to recognize the new rule curtailing the size of the General Assembly. Tbe old rule gave every L000 Knights a delegate; the new rule calls for a delegate to very 3,000. The result of this will be that many assemblies will elect delegates according to the old, rule and send them to Minneapolis in October. A lively time over tha acceptance or rejection by the committee on credentials is certain. Mr. Powderly Again Threatens to Resign. New York, July 9. Mr. Powderly's reported announcement that he will resign his office of general mostefsworkmanof the Knights of Labor at the next meeting of the General Assembly, in October, instead of waiting until 18S8. when his term expires, has a familiar sound to Knights. John Morrison, master workman of the carpetworkers' expelled District 126, said yesterday: ''This resignation of General Slaster Workman Powderly is a time-honored, eray-haired. graybearded chestnut ' One of the first things I heard when I came into the order was that Mr. Powderly was going to resign, and he has been resigning upon every critical juncture since." John Swinton said: "As long as I can remember Sir. Powderly has been resigning. The trouble is the job is too big for him, and every year he is made to feel it more and more. The vast organization of the Knights of Labor is going to pieces. But the labor movement is not dependent upon any one man or two men. It will go on without Powderly or George, and the wrongs workingmen suffer will be remedied, no matter whether the present leader go by the board or not Sir. Swinton thought that S. M. Wheat, of Iowa, was a good man for Powderly's shoes, but there seem to be some technical objections to him. He has not been elected a delegate to the General Assembly heretofore. Powderly's Denunciation 6f Speculators. Philadelphia, July 9. General Blaster Workman Powderly, in the Journal of United Labor, pays his respects to the grain and stockbrokers in a vigorous manner. Referring to the recent corners in coffee and wheat, Mr. Powderly say 8: "The lesson taught our members by the experience of the past six weeks is to keep their eyes open and to keep them'turned toward the produce exchanges of New York, Chicago and other large cities, and the moment the grain or produce gambler stocks the cards and announces that there is a scarcity in a certain article of food that the prices go up in consequence every member should resolve, and resolve out lond, that until the unhallowed hand of the speculator had been removed from tbe article in question, not a pound or ounce more than can be avoided will be purchased. This may be regarded in the light of a boycott notice; that is exactly what I intended it for, and had I the power vested in me to make the order imperative I would order every member, so far as in him lies the power, to place an eternal boycott on every grain and stock gambler in the United States and Canada. "j The Coke Strike Not Ended. Uniontown, Pa., July 9. The coke strike has not yet ended. Tho action of yesterday's convention in offering to resume work if a sliding scale was agreed to has caused a good deal of dissatisfaction, and another meeting will be held on SI on day, when it will probably be decided to continue tbe strike. Notwithstanding this, the operators seem to lie on top, and a general resumption is regarded as only a question of a short time. Tbe situation at West Leisenring is unchanged. A few additional men went back to work to-day. Everything is quiet, and Pinkerton's men apprehend no serious trouble. At Everson the excitement is intense. The strikers held another meeting to-day, and resolved not to be governed by the action taken yesterday, but to stand out for the advance. The leaders favcr a resumption at the old wages, but the rank and file want the increase. A Little Prince's Baggage. JUondon Truth. Everybody who has ever been concerned with a royal journey must have been astounded by the prodigious quantity of luggage which princes and princesses find it necessary to carry about with them. There was a notable example of this craze last week. Prince Albert Victor has been staying at Gibraltar for this month, and one would suppose that half a dozen portmanteans and a couple or so of -bags would be tbe very utmost he could require for a short sojourn in such a place. He returned in the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Cathay, and I am told that his luggage weighed thirty tons. What on earth did it consist of! Did be deem it expedient to convey all his earthly possessions to Gibraltar and back? "Good-By, Ooosy." Philadelphia News. "Little do you know how we bartenders are imposed upon. Woe is. our lot To-day a sixfooter entered my saloon and called for brandy. He imbibed a large quaff- . . . " 'Has Goosy been" in!' he asked. , '"Who's Goosy?' sa?d I. " 'Goosy walks like this. "The six-footer dropped on his haoncbes, spread bis legs apart like a painfully bandylegged being, and waddled towards the door. Suddenly straightening himself out he howled at me. Good-by, Goosy,' and fled a mile up the street before I found time to run from behind tho bar."
