THE FIGHT FOR THE C., H. & 1).

Ecmor that Jlr. Ives and His Friends Are Likely to Soon Regain Control, Bat the Logic of tb Sitnation Points Straight Toward the Corbin-Sollj Syndicate or the rennsylrania Local Notes. ?n railroad find business circles the future of tL Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has aeain become one of the leadine topics of discussion. Tbe following telegram from Cincinnati gives evidence that the lves-Staynor deal is again coming into prominence: "An erenina. paper asserts that it has responsi ble authority for the statement that movements are in progress which in two weeks will result In placing Henry S. Ives & Co. in control of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton railroad. A mysterious visit of Mr. Cromwell, Mr. le' assignee, is citod in purport of the rumor, coupled with the fact thai A. 13. Alorebead ana Aioeri Netter. brokers, are actively buying Cincin nati. Hamilton & Dayton stock. It is said, also. that the Emory, who own the Dayton & Mich igan nrnnertr leased br the C. H. & D.. are anxious to get tbeir road into their own hands end are aidme Ives. The assertion is freely made ihnt Its has found substantial backers and is able to become aggressive." In commenting on the foregoing, a railroad president who keens posted on the movements of tbe railroad kings, yesterday Mid: "The future of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, is pregnant with possibilities." He then went on to say tbat evidence was accumulating daily that what is known as the Corbin-Sally syndicate. which has figured eo prominently in a number of tbe large railroad deals within the last twelve months, has taken np the cause of what is known as the Ivea-Staynor syndicate, which created a sensation a few months ago by gath ering In tbe C H. & D. and the Vandalia. C W. Fairbanks, who represents the Corbin party the West as its general solicitor, has fDtlt most of his time of late with G. C Waits and other persons are interested in the affair of who the CI, H. & D., and it is believed the frequent conferences will terminate in the C. H. & D. be coming a part of the system of roads controlled by tbe Corbin-Snlly party. The value of the C., H. & D. to the L, B. & W. becomes at once apparent. It would give them valuable ter minals, a direct ronte from Cincinnati to San dusky, let them into Toledo on tbe north, give them a direct ronte from Peoria to Cincinnati, and, what is more important, give tbem an opportunity to carry out the lves-Staynor pro gramme in relation to the Vandalia. By secur ing the Vandalia tbe L, B. & W. would become one of the most important trnnk lines from St. Louis East, and give them, also, an opportunity to retaliate on tbe Pennsylvania , Company for the shabby treatment they (the L, B. & W.) have received at the bands of that great company. An I.. B. & W. offi cial, within a week, remarked that the terminal facilities that the T., H. & L possessed at Indi anapolis and Terre Haute, and through the lease of the Vandalia at St. Louis, were worth more money than tbe lves-Staynor syndicate were to par Wm. R. JIcKeen for the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road. This official stated tbat whether the programme would be carried out as an lves-Staynor deal time would tell, but he was positive that tbe Corbin-Sully syndicate were furnishing tbe money, and sanerntne that in the end tbe C, H. & D., tbe L, B. & W. and the Vandalia would be operated as one interest. Up to the present date Wo. R McKeen bas been paid but $400,000 of the porehase money the ivee-staynor syndicate were to pay for tbe T., 11. As i. road, through which pur chase tbey secured control of tbe Vandalia, and tbe purchaser bas nctil January 1 to par tbe remairing $1,400,000. .Another theory is that tbe CorMn-bullv syndicate is securing this road for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, that Vthrooen it they may secure eontroi or tbe Vandalia, wbicb wonld slip from. tbeir grasp thouid either tbe V., U. & 1). or the 1., U. & W. get control of tbe Vandalia. It is argned tbat tbe Pennsylvania people adopted tbe same tactics, using the same parties to bring under their control tbe Philadelphia & Beading road. One thing is quite evident the Pennsylvania will leave no stone unturned to prevent tbe J. B. & W. securing the control of the Vandalia through tbe purchase of tbe C, H. & D. Xncal and Miscellaneous Notes. William E. Saviee to-day takes the agency of the Vandalia at Pecksbnrg. A- A. Alien, who has been assistant general manager of the Wisconsin Central for a number of years, to-day takes tbe position of general superintendent of tbe road. Jan. 2 a cumber of roads will be taken out of the hand of receivers, among tbe number tbe L, B. & W., the Philadelphia & Beading and the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia. Tbe Bee-line and the I.. B. & W. give notice : that tbey will follow the Chicaeo roads no longer In t'ne reduction of live-stock rates, and will with draw from this class of trade- unless paying rates prevail. Bate cutting seems to be the order of the day in all directions. Competitors of the Lt, N., A. & C are complaining tbat the latter is cutting ra'e north into northern Michigan, and on lumber coming south as welL The present season the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan has turned over to the Bee line at 31 unci, nearly 1.600 carloads of lumber shipped from northern Michigan. About 1,000 carloads went East into Ohio via Union City and Dayton. On Satnrdar night a epeeial train will brine the officers of the Lane Erie & Western road and thir office eouipments from Bloomington to this C;ty, and on Monday next they will occupy their sew ofS.ce in the building the company has just completed on East Washington street. It is stated that the rails that the Union BailWay Company are laying on their new system of tracks are the beet rails which have ever been put down in this eountry. Thev weigh eighty poends to the yard, are Edear Thomson make, and after a pattern suggested by VicePresident JicCrea, of the Pennsylvania Company. A general manager attributes tbe remarkable growth of business east and west, on roads crossing Indiana, more to tbe development of the Soothwent than to the more common belief that it is done at the expense of the Chicago lines. He expresses the opinion that tbe increase will be even more marked the coming five years. The Erie Despatch, operating over the lines of the Pennsylvania Corapanr west and over the Michigan Central and Nickel-plate, gives notice that on and after Dec. 3, tbe required ten days elapsing, the present fixed export tariff rates will be abrogated. After tbat date the full tariff rates, whatever they may be, to the seaboard will be charged, and ocean rates, whatever they may be. will be added thereto. It i stated that D. T. MacVey, president cf the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville road, ia still sanguine trial in time matters win take such a turn that he will be able to secure control of the I., D. & S. road, and thus establish a line into Indianapolis, making the P.. D. & E road a much more valuable property. It is no secret tbst he has, for the third time, approached President Hammond, of the L, D. & S., on the ubjeet. Parties Interested in the building of the projected Atlantic & Mississippi road, which is to run from Fort Wayce to St. Louis, were in tbe city yesterday in conference with the steel rolling-mill mn as to what terms they would furnish the rails for the road. It is proposed to lay it with a sixtv-pounu-to-the-ranl rail. The parties say tbat without doubt the road will be bnilt. They are promised large sunsidies and claim to have capitalists with whom they can place their bonds whenever they need money. Miscellaneous Items. Since August 1 tbe Atchison, Topska & Santa Fe has gained 3,419 stockholders. The Illinois Central is determined to bare an Independent line from Ciro to Memphis, and has placed a surveying corps in tbe field to select the most feasible route. A contract has been agreed upon by which the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia & Reading will earry all the New York business of the Baltimore & Ohio road. The agreement will Vt take effect until tbe first of the year. The Boston & Albany and the New York & 3few Haven roads are considering the putting on of avestibnle train between Boston end New York which will make th run in five hours. Heretofore five hours and a half has been the fastest time made by regular trains. A meat importsnt arrangement is about being entered into by tbe Northern Pacific, tbe Central Paeifio and the Canadian Pacifio eompauies. At present these three roads are all doing business independently between Sao Francisco and the Northern Pacific coast. It is proposed that

the Northern Pae.ifla shall take care of the

Canadian Pacific's Portland business, the latter delivering it at Tacoma. and that the Central Pacific shall take the Saa Francisco business of the Canadian Pacific via its new all-rail route, wbicb is about completed. The Railroad Gazette's reeord of train acci dents in October contains notes of sixty-four collisions, forty-nine derailments and four other arcidanra. a total of 11 acciaeni. in wo.cn thirtv-fonr nersoni were killed and 109 injured. But seven of these accidents occurred on Indi ana roads. It is stated that the object or the recent in spection of the New York. Philadelphia & Nor folk road by tbe officials of the Pennsylvania road is the proposed purchase of tbat line. Hon. William L. Scott and A. J. Cassatt are tbe prin cipal owners of the road, and it is now a valuable feeder to the Pennsylvania system. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indication. Washington. Dec. 11 A. m.

Accounts were published, ten days asro, of a horrible wife murder committed by Stephen Bailey in Berkley, and tbe attempted suicide of the murderer. Bailey yesterdav made a confession in tbe pres ence of Jailer Harris. Bailey was over seventy years of age. The substance of his confession was as follows: "I have been married three times. I killed my first wife with a club. Her name was Catherine. I buried her in tbe earden, and after a while It was found out. and the people due ber np and buried her in the grave yard. She had six children for me. My second wife s name was Mary. I killed her with a brick by hittine her in tbe head. I will not tell what I did with her body. She bad one child, a boy. His name is Sabey. I don't snow where be is. My third wife's name was Sal lie. She was un faithful to me for a Ion? time. My wife and I had not ben on pood terms for three or four weeks. That day I laid in wait for her in a foot path, and as she came along I bit her on the head with an ax and killed ber and dragged her body into the busfcas until night. Then I sent my boy to tbe yard for a wheel barrow, and when he came 1 sent him back to tbe house. Then I put the bodv into the wheel-barrow and carried it about a mile and put it in the furnace. At sunrise I started the fire, and about 8 or 9 o'clock it was found oat. Sallie had seven children." Tbe previous butcheries were known, but it was j net after the war, and such crimes went unpunished. In making bis confession Bailev evinced no repentance for his inhuman murders, and so hardened bad he become tbat he had foreotten tbe details and dates of his former butcheries. Traveling1 011 His Voice. "Detroit, Mich., Nov. 30. Eddie McConnick is seven years old, brieht as the newest silver dollr.r, quick at repartee as a polished lawyer, could give the author of the cre&t American same of draw poker points on fine rlar. sines like a young Campaenaoi, and is altcl'ether one of the most precocious and talented children ever removed by his own voliiion from paternal restraint and a mother's aoron-strincs. Eddie was arrested here to-day by one of Pinkerton's sleuths, from Chicago, whence tbe hoy had run away from bis father's house, at 77 Dearborn avenue, six weeks apo, to see the wtrld on his own boos. McUormioK, pere. is a responsible employe in Marshall, Field & Co.'s store, lives in fine style, and is the father of a musical family. Little Eddie has a phenomenal - voice for one so Tounp, and was found delighting by his sones a crowd of men in a well-known sporting saloon. He objected to going home, saying his papa was too strict with him for comfort. For six weeks he has successfully dodged the detective, often skippine out jus; in the nick of time. He has traveled thousands of miles on his voice. Big Scheme of the Standard Oil Company. Toledo, O., Nov. GO. A gigantic scheme of the Standard Oil Company, involving millions of dollars, bas just been unearthed here. It is nothing more nor Ifss than a grand trunk pipeline from Cnicago to New York, by way of tbe Ohio and Pennsylvania oil fields. The pipe line, when completed, will be nearly 1.C00 miles long and will cost at least $5,000,000. It will connect the Ohio and the Pennsylvania fields, and oil can be piped eastward or westward, as desired. The Standard company bas already commenced to lease the right of way through Ohio and Indiana, Thousands of acres of the best oil lands have been secured, and the intention is to develop and test all the country between Chicago and Lima. O. The step waa made necessary by the high railroad rates eonsequent upon toe carrying into effect of the interstate-commerce law, and the intention of the Standard company is to utilize the oil piped to Chicago for fuel as well as for illuminating purposes. Rurntnr Oil Well Extinguished. Cleveland. Nov. 30. The oil-well at Cyent, O.. the greatest gusher in tbe Ohio field, which caught fire one week ago, burned until to-day, when the flames were extinguished. It 1b estimated that 350.000 barrels of oil have been consumed. The fire caught ia a peculiar way. The weather was rainy and a dense mass of fog and smoke hung over the welL This, it is thought, confined near the ground the gas which escaped from the well. Spar&s from a passing locomotive ignite 1 the gas. An explosion followed, and the air for rods in every direction seemed to be filled with fire. The fire was extinguished with much difficulty, it being necessary to erect a huge crane, by means of which an immense cap waa swung into position over the well, mothering the games.

DID MR. SCHULMETER COMMIT SUICIDE. The investigation of Coroner Wazner into tho cause of tbe death of Louis Scbulmeyer. the North Tennessee-street druggist, who dropped dead i n Stewart's wholesale drugstore on last Saturday morning, has developed some facts that indicate that the deceased came to his death by taking poison. In tbe water-closet of the store, which he visited just before he dropped dead, was found a bottle containing a small quantity of Prussic acid, and it is supposed Mr. Scbulmeyer swallowed the acid while in the closet; and. it being a very powerful poison, caused his death instantly. The cause cf bis supposed suicide isattribnted to his embarrassed financial condition, but there is no foundation for such a theory. Only three days before he died he was offered $16,000 for his new block on Nortb Tennen street, but refused to sell for less than $20,000. From those acquainted with his business affairs it is learned that he would be worth at least $15,000 after paying all outstanding debts. He carried a life insurance of $3,000.

The voter who has come to claim for his individual conscience the supreme power of private judgment in national politics is etill far too apt to accept without hesitation the guidance of his party machine'' in State politics, while he looks upon city politics as practically beneath his notice, lie is aifronted vy the action of his national party, in any of it3 attempts to control the actioa of its minorities, while h gazes tran quilly above and beyond the grossest abuses in A 1 nis own city eovemmenr. 11 is iwmmon i-ouncu spends months in a "dead-lock" over the appointment of three or four policemen, with "deals ana diplomatic negotiations enougn tor the inanagetueut of an empire and hardly enough success for the management of a kitchen; the tire department, the health department, the building department, the department of public woiks. the nolle o department and tho deuartmeiit of education, which should ba in active and harmonious co-operation, spend the time and effort which should be given to the city service in dealing ono anotner .vicious blows through the newspapers and elsewhere; taxation results merely in providing a livelihood for in competent officials and in thrusting inefficient public service upon the citizens; and still tho citizen refuses to learn the essential lesson that there is such a thing as municipal patriotism, and that municipal politics is its only practical mode of expression. Why should the politics of the city be tied down to the politics of tho nation or the State? Is there any identity of interest between the two, such as would be apt to secure efiicif nt city administration by a selection of city olilcers based upon national party preferences! Every one mows the contrary, trom practice a3 well as from theory; in a few of our cities the lesson has already developed a strong ann effective independent city vote; and yet, take the country through, the individual conscience seems to be almost as inert as ever iu this matter. The man who, moved by conscience, takes up his own burden of battle against the abuses of his own city government, is pretty certain of the pity of those who know Him personally and of the criticism of those who are strangers to him; he need not expect that whieh he deserves the cordial sympathy of his fellow-citizens, their consider ation lor nis inevitable errors, ana tneir rejoic ing in his success. His fellow-citizens have not yet been educated up to tnat point He still lack that essential factor in political developmentmunicipal patriotism. Thousands of men have- been found ready aud willing to die for tho United States or even for the individual State. Where are the men who would die for Brooklyn. or Chicago, or San Francisco? Where, indeed, are the men who would live for themi Tbe Gas Trust Monopoly. fe tbe Editor of the 1 nd.anapolis Journal: I am a friend of tbe Gas Trust Company and a stockholder, bat I era stoutly opposed to any scheme whereby I will be obliged either to wait for a year for the trust pas, or to bind myself to take the Trust Company's ras for three years.
