RAILWAYS TRYING TO AGREE

The Illinois Central Muses to Join the Interstate Association. It Promises, However, to Give Moral Supjort to ihe residents' Agreement Belief in Chicago that the Scheme Yill Fail. New York, Feb. 30. When "the president's a grcemeut," so called, was adopted at Picrpoint Morgan's residence, some time fcince, all of the road9 in the territory which it was decided to cover were represented, with the exception of the Illinois Central, the Chicago, Burlington fc Northern and the Wisconsin Central. The preliminary agreement, which was agreed to by the roads represents! at that meeting provided for the mainteru ice of rates from Jan. 1, until sixty days thereafter. No efforts have been spared meactimo to bring the three roads named into the Interstate-commerce Association, as Jho associated roads decided to be called. Tho most important eystem not included Lithe presidents' agreement was the Illinois Central. The other road presidents failed in their efforts to obtain the signature of its officers. As the time drew dangerously near to the period when the limited agreement would expire, the bankers, acting with the associated roads, exerted nil tho influence in their power to induce the three holding out to sign the agreement for harmony. There is little doubt that all the heavy foreign securities holders were appealed to, and with considerable success, -for during the past week repeated conferences between tho American representatives of foreign holders end the officers of the Illinois Central road have taken place at the latter's office. . To-day a very important meeting of directors was begun at the company's headquarters here. While the meeting was in session tne stock market was practically at a stand-still, so important was the action of the directors considered. Before the action of the Illinois Central directors had become known, one of the "hold-outs," the Wisconsin Central, announced that its president had affixed his signature to the presidents' agreement. Thus it left onlr the Chicago, Burlington & Northen and the Illinois Central's signatures to make the plan a complete success. The directors came together promptly at 10 a.m. , to-day and locked themselves up until 0 ) V. m. Orders were given that no cominuniication or cards should be brought into the J room. Shortly after 6 o'clock the directors (came out and announced the result. The secretary of the company gave out the following official statement, which, he said, :would cover what was done at the meeting: ( "The opinions of the counsel of the company, Mr. B. F. Ayer, of Chicago, and Mr. Clarence A. Seward, of New York, stating this corporations is, by the terms of its charter, precluded from becoming a party to the Interstate Railway Association havr ing been read, on motion of Mr. Goelet, seconded by Mr. Luttgen, it was "Resol ved. That this board decline to authorize the president of this company to sign said agreement on behalf of this company, and approved of his action In cot committing this company thereto; but whereas, this board Is now, and it always has been. In tsfr of enforcing and maintaining reasonable an I pmunerattve rates, and preventing tho cuttinJif rates for both passengers and freight, andisorposedlo concessions in bidding for business, and is desirous to aid ana contribute all in is power which it lawfully can ' do to accomplish tho above purpose; "Resolved, That this board, being thus prevented from joining the proposed association, is determined to give its moral support, as far as may be consistent with the best interests of the company, to the aims and objects of the Interstate-commerce Railway Association in tho establishment and maintenance of rates, as far as they may conform to the laws of the various Mates in which its roads are located, and with the interstate-commerce law. , ; "Resolved, That this board directs the president f this company, in order to effectuaUy carry vout the above resolutions, to notify every officer, (agent or employe of this company that if he rwillfully violates any of the rules, rates and 'regulations established by this board he will bo (dismissed from the service in accordance with jthe by-laws." The opinion of tho company's attorney was brought out, pursuant to a resolution passed by the directors directing the president of tho company to inquire of its attornevs whethertho charter of tho company would allow them to agree to the engagements and stipulations contained in the agreement between the presidents. Both attorneys returned a lengthy opinion and point out that it would be illegal for the company to sign the cgreement. They say that in tho original provi.sionsof the charter crant ed in 1851, it is stipulated that tho board of directors shall have power to establish such rates of toll for the conveyance of persons and property upon the same as they shall from time to time by their bylaws direct and determine, and to levy and collect the same for tho use of said company. The transportation of persons and property, and the conveyance of passenger and property shall be in conformity to such rules and regulations as said board of directors shall from time to time determine. The attorneys then cite decisions of Illinois courts sustaining their statement that the charter forbids the Illinois Central road from becoming a party to the agreement. Little Hope for the Agreement, CniCAGo, Feb. 20. Appearances to-night are all but decisive that tho -proposed Intcrstate-commerco Eailroad Association will not be organized. When the presidents of the Western roads reconvened at the .Grand Pacitio Hotel, to-day, tho committees appointed to obtain the signatures of the five dissenting companies to the proposed agreement reported that their efforts had. been unsuccessful. The only responses received by the committee were from the Illinois Central, positively refusing to join the association, and the Wisconsin Central reaffirming its position that it would join only on condition that the Chicago, Burlineton & Northern signed the agreement. Nothing has been heard from the Burlington &. Northern, and there is now little hope that it tan be whipped into line. Rather than ignominiously abandon the entire scheme for tho much heralded "gentlemen's agreement," it was proposed in effect to at least make a show of perfecting tho agreement in an organization of the association with such companies as had already signed. This was agreed to, and a committee was appointed composed of Messrs. Hnghitt, McMullin, Stone, Truesdale, Newman and Howe. "to make such changes of detail in the plan of agreement as might be necessary or expedient in view of the failure to obtain the assent of certain companies thereto." This committee was instructed to report at 11 a. m. to-morrow. Meantime the erstwhile advocates of the "gentlemen's agreement" are busy pointing out that its virtual failure does not amouut to so very much after all. The ground for this curious assertion is that the agreement of the Western Freight Association covers, practically, the territory, is much more binding in its various provisions, and is being lived up to satisfactory lj Personal. Local and State Notes. H. W. Hibbard, general freight agent of the Vaudalia. is in the citj. Secretary Waun, of the Bee-line, was in tho city yesterday on official business. Albert S. White, general freight agent of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road, is in tho city. Charles Millard, president of the Indianapolis car-works, has gone Fast, to be absent several days. The entire Bee-lino system earned in January, $.XJ4,&:. a decrease, as compared with January, 1, of only $10,401. The management of the Indianapolis, Decatur fc Western road claim to be operating it at the present time on 5S per cent, of its gross earnings. The Ohio & Mississippi road earned, in the first week in February, $78,287. an increase over earnings of the corresponding week in lbi$ of 5,01. There is the best of authority for stating that J. D. Layng, at tho comiiig annual meeting of the Bee-line, w ill bo re-elected president of tho company. The stockholders of the old Cairo division of the Wabath road have reorganized tho company and elected A. J. Thomas, S resident; M. McDonald, general manager; . W. Elliott, secretary uud treasurer; J. J. JO UJicx, general freight aj;ent. ana C. ti.

Elliott, general passenger agent. The com

pany propose xo at once piace me ruau m good condition. J. W. Sherwood went to Cincinnati last evening. It is understood that President Ingallshas oilered him a good position on the Chesapeake & Ohio road. M. Doherty, who for some time was commissioner of the Indianapolis pool, but now conunercial agent of the Wabash road, was married to a St. Louis lady a few days ago. G. W. Beecher, general solicitor of the Ohio &, Mississippi road, is in tho citv looking after some legal matters in the United States District Court, in which the company is interested. At tho annual meeting, in March, the stockholders of the Bee-line will have four directors to elect, owing to the death of George Kussell, the late treasurer. Nine of the old board hold over. Tho Ohio Falls car-works are delivering freight cars to the Pennsylvania road on . ther contract at tho rate of thirteen a day. The Ohio Falls iron-works, of New Albany, furnish the iron for their construction. The Indianapolis,' Decatur & Western road, in the iirst iif teen days of this month, earned $24,052.73. against 812,920.42 in tho corresponding two weeks in 1888. It will be seen that the increase was nearly 100 per cent. Three years ago the holdings of stock of the Lake Shore road in Ohio amounted to $15,000,000. Now but 1,000,000 is held in that State, it having been transferred to States where the double taxation is not in vogue. General Manager McLaughlin, of the Continental line, was in the city yesterday for the purpose of establishing an agencv of the line at this point, the agent, as well, to look after their business west of here on Indianapolis lines. It was definitely settled yesterday that H. M. Bronson would sever nis connection with the Cincinnati, fcandasky fc Cleveland road as its general passenger agent on March 1, devoting his entire attention thereafter to the interests of the Ohio, Indiana & Western road. Notice was sent out yesterday by tho officers of tho Pennsylvania Company that Washington's birth-dav would be observed as a holiday. Freight depots will be closed, and no local freight trains run, and no through trains, except to carry live stock and perishable freights. The Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City earned, in January, $06,193. which was an increase over earnings of the corresponding month in 1888 of 33,321, or nearly 50 per cent. This road is now working its St. Louis business, in connection with the Indianapolis & St. Louis road. -The Wabash is building in its own shops two passenger engines, after plans ana specifications of J. B. Barnes, superintendent of motive power of the road. They are to be used in hauling their fast trains, and are expected to be engines of power and high speed. T. A. Whitmoro has been appointed general freight agent of the Chicago, St Paul & Kansas City road. It is understood that his headquarters are to be at Chicago. Mr. Whitmore is at present assistant traffic manager. The position of general freight agent is a newly created one on that road. After March 1 the Kansas Central and the Leavenworth, Topeka & Southwestern roads will be detached from what is known as the Kansas division of the Union Pacific, and will be operated as the Leavenworth division. W. II. Baldwin has been appointed manager of the ndw division. Traffic Manager Lazarus, of the I., D. & W. road, says that there is but one way to stop the scalping of tickets, and that is to S ass laws making it illegal for any but a uly-appointed agent to sell railroad tickets. Then the roads which work through scalpers will be compelled to show their hands. The Vandalia yesterday received the third of four engines ordered from the Pittsburg locomotive-works. These engines weigh fifty-live tons, and are adapted to hauling fast live-stock trains or neavy express trains. They will be limbered up in hauling freight before being put into faster service. On March 1 tho Kanawha Dispatch, which has been reaching St. Lonis over the Louisville, Evansville fc St. Louis road, will be transferred to the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, at. Louis & Chicago road. This is the fast-freight line established by the Chesapeake & Ohio road, over which it reaches the seaboard. President In galls and his associates, under the double taxation system which the stockholders of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road were subjected to, paid $64,000 per annum tax. This money is now saved to the stockholders by transfering the control of the road from Cincinnati to New York. The Railway Officials' and Conductors' Accident Association, at its annual meeting, elected as directors for the ensuing year: Chalmers Brown. L. D. Hibbard, A. Buiman, Dave Earhart and W. K. Bellis. The officers for tho ensuing year are L. D. Hibbard, president; G. Brown, first vice-president: G. A. Johnson, second vice-president, and W. K. Bellis, secretary and treasurer. The handsome earnings that many of the roads are showing will enable them to spend money liberally in betterments to property. Spending money in this direction wIl be much better for the roads and for tho country than tho extensions of parallel lines. The southern section of the country, however, promises to do considerable this year in the way of railroad constructioneven exceeding its record of 18S8. Doubtless the f nil and complete statements which President Ingalls, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road, has been making monthly, for years past, has had much to do with placing the road in the foreground as an investment. Tho lack of a uniform method of keeping accounts and the mystification which usually appears in the statements of railroad companies when reports are presented for the consideration of stockholders, are tho features of railroading at the present time most open to criticism. The stockholders of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road held their annual meeting yesterday and elected as directors for the ensuing year: J. D. Layng, Stevenson Burke, H. H. Poppleton, James Barnett, Amos Townsend, 1. P. Handy and John T. Dye. Everv share of the company was represented. While no statement was made, one of the directors said that tho company began the year under the most favorable conditions, with no floating debts, the outlook for business excellent and the road in the best physical coudidion of any time in its history. The Adams Express Company yesterday withdrew its messengers from the Philadelphia & Reading road, and closed all its agencies on that system. Tho contract between the Adams Express Company and the P. & R. company will not expire for three years, but the terms on which the company was allowed to operate on the road became so onerous that the business did not vield any profit to the express comrVi iT-!i..i it a x fi r pany. ino uuiieu ciaics .express vomany succeeds the Adams on the P. fc K. ines. This, it is thought will bring about a renewal of the war between the express companies, which was settled only two weeks ago. A fast stock train has been put on to run between Kansas City and Jersey City over the Chicago & Alton, the Vandalia and the Pennsylvania lines. The train is made up entirely of Street'.? palace stock cars. and. the stock is carried through without transfering. A train of twenty-two car-loads will pass through the city this morning. The run from Kansas Citv to St. Louis is made in seventeen hours, from St. Louis to Indianapolis in eleven hours and thirty minutes, and from Indianapolis to Jersey uity in lorty-nino hours, making the running time of the train from Kansas City to Jersey City seventy-seven hours and thirty minutes. "What Has Become of the Surplus. Brooklyn Standard-Union. When the Republicans turned over tho administration to the Democrats four years ao they left a surplus of over $400,000,000. Now. it issaidfrom Washington, that when tho Democrats turn over the administration to the Republicans there will bo nrac.tically no surplus at all; and yet the appro priations uunng tne past tour years have been larger than for the nrecedinc four. What has the public gained by the Demo cratic opportunity to "see tho hooks7' ana to "turn the rascals out!" I I In the Nature of a Serial. Baltimore American. In the apologies for tho present administration, the further they go the longer they get. As a continued series, thev ought to run for at least a year. There is material enough.

Judge C re sham Gives a Decreee of Fore closure on a' Railroad. Judge Gresham, in the United States Court, yesterday, entered a decree of foreclosure and 6ale in the case oi the Fanners' Loan and Trust Company vs. The CLicago & Atlantic Railway Company for $3,674,704.16. W. P. Fishback was designated as master in chancery to make the sale. An appeal from the decree was prayed by the defendant and the cross-complainant, Geo. J. Bippus, which was granted upon filing bond in the sum of $125,000, with sureties to the approval of tho court. The case has been pending for more than three years, and the foreclosure is upon the first mortgage bonds and coupons of the railway company. A Question of Office.

AN INDIAN EXECUTION. Graphic Story by an Eye-WItness of the Legal Shooting of a Cherokee. Washington Special to St Louis Republic lief erring to the recent published account of an execution in the Creek nation, Indian Territory, a cavalry officer now here, but who for a long time was stationed in tho Territory, said to-day: 'I have seen an Indian execution, at which two men were shot one for murder, the other for horse-stealing. At the third conviction for grand larceny the Indians punish tho crime by death, believing that the prisoner is beyond reformation. The shooting I saw was in the Cherokee country. The two prisoners were young men, one of them he could not let his neighbors' stock alo: being one of the handsomest fellows I ever saw. He was stripped to the waist, and his figure would nave served for a model of Apollo. He had a quick, bright face, and such a pleasant smile that it was hard to believe he was ono of the most dangerous and desperately murderous young ruffians in the Territory, who had been concerned in the killing of hatf a dozen men in drinking all rays. He was a quarter-blood, with all the vices of both races and none of tho virtues of either. Ho spoke English so correctly that I was not surprised to hear that he had been well educated in an Eastern school, but took to bad ways, he said, because he could not help it. The night before he died I went to 6ee liim. He was lying on his blanket in the calm sleep of a tired child. I told the jailer not to wake him and went awav. His companion was a hard-looking fullblood, who spoke no English or said ho did not. It was a charming morning in May, ono of the days in that region that make mere physical life a luxury. The shooting was to bo done punctually at 10 o'clock, and about half an hour before the time I, with several other officers of the garrison, rode over to the place of execution. There were perhaps thirty Indians present the jury and judge that had convicted tho prisoners, and others as witnesses. The 3'oung fellow 1 mentioned had heavy irons on his legs, and was seated on a stool fifty paces in front of the jail. At his sidowas a similar stool, empty, but which was to be occupied by the other prisoner when he was shot. As we came near the young . man said 'Good morning' with a pleasant smile, gracefully lifting his slouch hat at the same time, He seemed to be the most unconcerned ferson present. 'What a lovely morning said, merely for something to say. Yes; our country is perfectly delightful at this season of the year.' he replied. I was smoking a cigar, one of an excellent box I brought from St. Louis when I came to my post. I noticed that he looked at it somewhat wistfully. May 1 offer you one!' I asked. If you please thanks said ho as I reached the case to him and he took one, lighting it with a match. 'What a luxury really good tobacco is!' he said, after a few puns. self to the young man in English. 'Oh, ro replied the other, carelessly. 4Vhat could I say that would do any good?, Thore was not a tremor on either faco as the deathwarrant was read in English and Cherokee. Then a man made a cross-mark, three inches long and half an inch wide, over the heart of each prisoner in black (the other had been brought and seated on the vacant stool just beforo this was done), aud the firing party six persons, each armed with a 44-calibre Winchester rifle camo out of tho jail. The sheriff bandaged the eyes of the other man, but the one I had been talking to would not permit it in his own case. I want to see, he said, and they let him alone. I never saw I such nerve as this youth possessed. His eyes

Must tnen tne sheritl and jury came. The time is almost up; have you anything to say!' said the official. addresAincr him

were without a shadow of trouble, anxiety or fear that I could discover. His lips were firm, and ho smoked away slowly with the air of one who knew a good cigar and meant to enjoy it to the last. Are you ready! Takeaiml Fire!' rapidly spoke tho sheriff. I could not look at their death. But at the words take aim' I caught a last glance from the young man's eyes. His look was unchanged. The shooters were not more than ten or twelve feet away from the men. Four rifles cracked simultaneously. I did not turn my head, but walked to my horse. As I mounted I saw the two men lying side by side, fallen face forward, 6ilent, motionless, both shot through the heart; and just a little way in front of one there rose up into the sweet spring air, out of the grass, a faint blue smoke. It was the last glow of the cigar I had given him who had died a moment before. They told me he held it in his mouth till after the rifles cracked, and as he pitched forward on his face it rolled away. I never want to see another Indian execution." PARESIS IS FAST SPREADING.

Some Startling Facts About This Insidious Disease of the Brain. Pittsburg Dispatch. "Paresis is perhaps the most wide-spreading disease ot the present day," said a wellknown physician, yesterday. Tt is becoming more prevalent than it used to be; in fact. 1 feel 6afe in saying that it has increased twofold within the past five years. It is the malady of our civilization, or, rather, it seems to advance with the Nation's nrocrress. wIt is largely due to the high tension of the average business man's mind, and it ultimately breaks down the brain tissue and leaves him a helpless wreck. Just watch him! He is always on the go, never stopping in his planning and scheming out some new venture that he hopes will bring him independent fortune and place him above his competitors. That is the sort of stain that will disorganize almost any brain. Such a man's mind is never at rest even when he sleeps. His sleep is unnatural, and he is apt to be harassed by dreams, and he wakes up in the morning more tired and worn out than he was when he went to bed the night before. "Just now I recall an instance of a man who contracted paresis simply because he tried to force himself to accomplish a feat that was mentally beyond his power. He is George Knight, the actor. He had a fair amount of success playing light, spontaneous parts, when he conceived the idea that his abilities lay in a more substantial direction, and studied the character of Baron Rudolph, altogether unsuited to his talents. He studied hard and conscientiously, and was determined to overcome all obstacles by persistent work. It wore him out, and beforo his friends were aware of it he was a wreck from paresis." Comparative Privacy of the White House. The Epoch. Few men have gone into the White House without feeling that they left all tho eweets of privacy behind them. But during the last few months General Harrison has suffered so much from many reporters that ho must be ready to welcome even the bustle of the Whito House for the state of journalistic siege in which he is compelled to live at Indianapolis. In Washington, at least, his grandchildren will not bo an object of solicitude to the newspaper correspondent, and the movements of his household will be less curiously and minutely noted. A great many new conditions are growing up around the office of President of the United States, but perhaps the most objectionable of them is the utter disregard on the part of the newspapers of any rights that may be supposed to belong to the private lifo of the successful candidate. There is nothing . about his habits too trivial for the watchful reporter to record; nothing to intimately connected with the sanctities of his home to shield it from publicity. And unfortunately, the vulgarity of all this is not so much due to the newspapers as to the insatiable curiosity of the public which they undertake to please. Heal Estate Transfers.
