AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS

Chlcaco and Ohio Biver Association Agrees on the Mileage-Book Question. Eatea Fixed at $20 Per 1,000 Hiiei Little Dealt that the Presidents Agreement Will Be Adopted-Unlimited Tickets. The general passenger agents of the roada in the Chicago and Ohio River Association yesterday came to an agreement to make 2 cents a mile, or $20 per 1.000 miles, the uniform rate in this territory, -which Kill be a great relief to purchasers of this class of tickets, -who hare been mnch annoyed by the use of more than one description of mileage tickets. A telegram from E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the PennTlrania and Vandalia railroads, says that these 1,000-mile tickets will be placed on sale by those companies on Jan. 10. the tickets to be good over all divisions of the Pennsylvania lines rest of Pittsbnrg, the Vandalia line, the Cincinnati & Mnnkiogum Valley, the Grand Kapids &. Indiana and the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus roads. Presidents Are In Earnest. A dispatch received from New York yesterday quotes President Cable, of the Rock Island, as saying that the trouble over the Union Pacific bridge contract irasnotof sufficient importance to be allowed to interfere -with the proposed presidents' agreement. This indicates that Mr. Cable has cooled off somewhat since be left Cni cago, and goes to show that the railway magnates are too mnch in earnest in their present movement to permit individual quarrels to upset their plans. It is believed here that tne agreement will be put into effect whether the Rock Island and the St. Paul succeed in fixing up their difficulty -with the Union Pacific or not. In this connection a general manager said: 'The Eastern bankers who are behind this movement will see that it goes through all right. Even though it may not amount to much when perfected, a failure to accomplish what has been undertaken would havo a bad effect. The late depression of railway stocks has warned the owners of the roads that something must be done to restore conhdene'e in '.their properties. As a result, rates have been advanced and a conservative policy is beintf pursued bv lines that have been notorious as disturbers in the past. All the Western roads terminating in cnicago. with probably one exception, have received instructions to keep within tbo provisions or the interstate-commerce law, ana J ' believe they are doing it How long it will last, of coarse. I cannot tell, but just now it is as mnch as a railway o beer's position is worth to cut a rate. It is a fact that there is less rate-cuttinff now among the Y estern roads than at any time since pooling was abolished. The feeling that has brought about this state of affairs will also put into execution the plans for a presidents7 agree ment to embrace all the roads between Chi cago and the Rocky mountains. The Unlimited Ticket Question. The Western Passenger Association began its regular monthly meeting at Chi cago yesterday. The only subject of im portance discussed was the proposed abolition of unlimited tickets. The committee to which this matter 'was referred at a previous meeting xnado a report, recom mending that unlimited tickets be abolished on all roads in the association, but while the general passenger agents were apparently unanimous in their approval of this course, there were some leatures of the report to which objections were raised. This caused the matter to be referred to a new committee, with instructions to re port at the February meeting. It is supnosed that the objections were made simply to secure delay, as it is said that some of the roads have contracts with scalpers which will not expire for a xnontn or two. Commissions and the Pennsylvania. A short time ago the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Company was somewhat disturbed over the announce ment that this company would, after Jan. 1, consent to its agents receiving commissions. In confirmation of this statement is published below a letter from the general passenger agent of a very conservative road, under date of Jan. 5 ne writes: A short time ago I saw that the Pennsylvania Company w ere allowing their agents to receive commissions, ana u mis is so it accounts ior my receiving vouchers from three or four quite prominent stations on that line within the last wees or ten aays. In passenpercircles it isbelieved the next step the Pennsylvania Company will take will be the resuming of the payment of commisuons to agents of foreign roads. Invading the Territory of the Pennsylvania. On Monday last there was filed in the recorder's office at Belief on te. Centre county, Pennsylvania, a lease of the Reach Creek road to the New York Central, to hold good for 909 years. Tbo Pittsburg Dispatch, in commenting on this matter, among other things, says: This is but another turn in tbo furthering of a scheme that the Yanderbilts have had in view for a number of years the holding of a competing line to the Pennsylvania system. It now onlr remains to build about eighty miles more of road and this through line will be complete from -New York to Chicago, and with a few branches buUt to the important manufacturing and trade centers lu this t? tate, tney win ue on a good basis to compete with the Pennsylvania. Brazil's lUilroad War. ficeelal to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil. Ind., Jan. C Tho suit for eject ment from the old north and south road bed, brought by the Midland company against tne Fort Wayne, Terre Haute & Southwestern, will be tried here to-morrow. The latter are confident that they will not be disturbed, but permitted to proceed till their road is completed. The Monon officials, according to the best information, have agreed to guarantee the bonds of the 1 ort W ayne. Terre Haute & Southwestern for the constrnction of the road. Hence the resignation of President Crawford, of the Midland, as attorney for the - Monon. It comes from Chicago, Mr. Crawford's home, that the office he held has been abolished. Re that as it may, the Monon is anticipating a valuable feeder in the new line that will tap the coal-fields. as well as the Mansneld stone quarries. The Midland is seventeen miles north of Brazil. The managers seem determined to set here some war. and may do so. es pecially if the subsidy asked for is voted on the 1-tQ Inst. Keports attecting tne financial standing of the road aro some what against the granting of the subsidy. Personal, Local and General Notes. A Chicago paper says that negotiations are in progress and nearly completed for a consolidation of the Atchison. lopeka cc Santa Pe and the Missouri Pacitio railroads. In the year lS'JO there were handled at the Union stockyards in Chicago S13.250 car-loads of stock: during the fiscal year 7,631 trains arrived at these yards, aver aging forty cars to a tram. Joseph Rarasev. 1r.. assistant to Presi dent Ii calls, of 'the Rig Four, will be in the city to-day for the purpose of conferring witn tne city officials and deciding on the plan for the viaduct on irginia avenue. The members of the Peoria Car-service Association will meet on Friday at Peoria to elect a general manager, if they can agree on a man for the position. Somo of the roads are bitterly opposing the re-elec tion of the preseut manager. E. E. Weikert, general advertising agent at this point, who has for four years past bad rtis othre with Mr. ebb. of tho Union Pacific, with the latter's retirement coes into the room with A. D. Perry, traveling passenger agent oi the Chicago v. Alton. The Atlantic & Danville Railroad Company has been placed in the hands of re ceivers by the United States Conrt. on anDlication of New trass & Co.. London bankers, who hold 3.000.000 -worth of tho road's bonds, interest on which has not been paid. The directors of the Railway Officials' and Conductors' Association, at their meet' in yesterday, voted to change the name of the organization to that of the Railway Officials' and Employes' Accident Associa tion, the latter now being much more ap

propriate, as fully CO per cent, of the pres

ent membership are employes who carry no official title. SeYentv-five men have been laid off tem porarily in tbo shops of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago road at New Al bany. In the locomotive department the full force is kept on, the reduction being made in the wood-working and car-repair ing departments. JohnEwan. late superintendent of the second division of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago road, is at his sister's on Park avenue, and in bad health. His troubles are of a paralytic nature, but his physicians expresn the opinion that he will, in time, fully recover. The new bridge which the Lake Erie & Western is bniidiug over the Wabash at Larayette will be completed in two weeks if the weather continues favorable. There are throe spans, lf0 feet in length. The trestle on the west end. which was four hundred feet in length, has been filled and properly protected against Hood. The Old Colonv road is building a num ber of new locomotives on which the engineers and all the works of the engine which ho controls will be on the left side. Tho road is double-tracked, with the signals in the center of the track, consequent ly to see them quickly the engineer, must be on the left-hand side of the boiler. The war between the Union Pacific and the Rock Island at Beatrice is over. This morning the Rock Island, tired of waiting for orders, withdrew its engines from the Union Pacihc tracks. Immediately a force of men employed by the Union Pacific tore up all connection with tbo iiock island tracks and placed aguardoverthoswitches. E. O. McCormick. general passenger agent of the Cmcinuati, Hamilton & Day ton road, has written personal letters to the ticket agents and pansentrerrepresentatives of its lines at different points, urging them to push for business, lhe yearl&X) was one in which the largest passenger earnings of the road were shown in its history, and he wants this record improved on in 191. The citizens of Richmond. Ind.. are some what disturbed over the rumor that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton is to secure control of the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw road, instead of the Rryce syndicate. Had the latter secured the property the cit izens of Richmond had conceived the idea that they would build a road to Richmond, which they are quite certain the C, 1L & v. win not do. On Jan. 17 the Transcontinental Passen ger Association will meet in San Francisco to adopt some scheme for an equitable and satisfactory division of east-bound business from Pacific coast points, rates, much of the time, being so badly demoralized that there is little money in it to the roads. The general passenger agents of several of tne roads in the Central 1 rathe territory have been asked to attend the meeting. Harry Crawford. lr.. general superintend ent of the Indiana Midland road, was in the city yesterday. He states that the road' earned, in 1800. 820.403 in excess of the earnings of 1SS0. and. as the company will set its coal tratiio in better shape for lcJl, he Iooks for a handsome increase in earnings this year. All surplus earnings above operating the road have been used in im proving the road-bed ana purchasing additional enuipmeuts. Nearly all the bridges on the line have been rebuilt. The dropping out of traveling passenger agents of the Union Pacific at several points has considerably disturbed the traveling passenger agents of other West ern and Northwestern linen. One of tbem remarked yesterday that he should not feel easy until after Friday and tbe results of the president' meeting became known. He added that even the traveling passenger auents who had been provided with annual passes for the pnesont year were somewhat uneasy over the outlook for this branch of service. Tho directors of the Belt road and stockyards met yesterday at the office of W. P. I jams, president of the company, eight out of the eleven directors being present. The usual dividends were declared. No other business of importance was transacted. On the first Tuesday in February the stockholders will meet to elect directors for the ensuing year, at which time the annual report will be ready. The year has been a very favorable one for the yards, too business being the largest since they were established. President Mackey. of the Mackev lines. has given instructions that the position of traveling passeuger agent on tboe lines should be abolished. Tho order tells most nerionsly ou the Louisville. Evansvilld& St. Louis division, on which there were four D. Lj. Rryant, headquarters at Louisville; v. K. Kerr, headquarters at Knoxville, Tenn.; R. 13. Parry, Elizabethtown, and E. G. Davidson, Kansas City. While it had been announced that there was.to be gen eral retrenchment of expenses on tbe Mackey lines, the first move in that direc tion was quite n surprise. The Pennsylvania Company has proposed to the Bi Four people to erect interlocking signals and switches at six points where the roads cross eacnolher. in addition to those already contracted for, the cost to be shared equally by the two companies. Two are to be in Indiana, at Shelby ville and Auderson, and four in Ohio, at Forest, at the asylum road, a snort distance out of Colunibu.4, and at the two crossings of the Big Four and Little Miami roads. These interlocking switches and signals for an ordinary crossing cost 2.400, and each ad ditional track guarded increases the cost $200. The license plan embodied in the bill now-before Cougress, for regulating anil controlling Canadian railways'doing business in the United States, does not seem to Mr. Schrieber, the chief engineer of the Dominion railways, to be practicable. He points out that tno United States connections of Canadian roads are distinct corporations and qperated at present under the United .States la we. He does not see how it is possible any way for the United States to single out certain railways or portions of railways and bring them under a special law. and says that even if Burton's, or a similar law, goes into orperation, it would soon be repealed under pressure of publio opinion. . m A 11 LEUNG OF GREAT INTEREST. Evangelist Murphy Procures Many More Signers to His Gospel Temperance Pledge. Roberts Park Church was filled in both floor and galleries last night, on tbe occasion there of the second Murphy mooting. The programme was much the same in form as that of the precediugevening, but varied by the versatility of Mr. Murphy. After an organ voluntary and Scripture reading, prayer and general singing. Mr. Murphy called out Joseph Taggert, John Langdon, James Fleming, Dr. Van Anda and others to speak. He himself seemed to hold the spirit of prayer he had caught in the union week of prayer-meeting that afternoon at the lirat Baptist Church, and several times he prayed with great feeling. The audience, in spite, of the lack of tbe livening influence o vigorous gospel temperance songs, which, in the absence of a choir, had to be omitted, was interested throughout the meeting. Mr. Murphy's remarks took on an earnestness that impressed their power even more deeply than nsnal. His appeals rung with the prayerful spirit, bis stories were deeply touching, his hashes of description or wit all had a force which none who heard him will soon forget. The discourse bore immediate fruit in a large number of signers to the pledge The meetings will be continued to-night at the same place. The Witness Submitted. Thomas McAllister, a witness summoned to testify in a State case before Justice of the Peace Smock yesterday, left the courtroom with a better idea of the dignity of the law. It became necessary to continue the case, and the Justice announced to all the witnesses that they would not be needed till tbe future hearing. "Well, you won't get me here," exclaimed McAllister, angrily; "I have got no time "We will see about that," interrupted the Justice. "1 will have yon give a bond for your appearance, or you will go to jail." The tone and reaching for a bond blank by tbe Justice made the man change color and demeanor, and, with an humble apology, he uromisod to bo on hand when wanted if no bond was required of him. The Justice accepted the apology and threw the blank back in the pigeon-hole.

TUE LAWS REGARDING THE INSANE. Changes Proposed by tbe Board of State Charities as to Sending Patients to Hospitals. .

The Board of Btato Charities held a meeting yesterday afternoon to consider tbe advisability of certain legislation regarding insane patients, and Oscar C. McCulloch, John R. Elder and Mrs. W. A. Peelle were appointed a committee to have a bill prepared, which will be submitted to the General Assembly, looking to changes in the law relative to the commitment and discharge of patients. It is a principle of law and justice, it was urged, that no person be deprived of his liberty without due process and notice, and in some States this is carried out with reference to the insane, so far as to make all inquests of insanity a matter of jury, trial in open court In Indiana that law holds only in cases of commitments of dangerous insane persons who are not sent to the State hospitals. Specialists, however, generally condemn this plan as unwise, since it is too much like a cnminal procedure. Under tbe system it often happens that the insane person knows nothing of the process until it is completed, and often not until he is actually in the hospital, to which he has been conveyed nnder deception as to bis destination. Wheu he discovers what has been done his sense of justice is outraged, and often he thinks ho is illegally held without the knowledge of his friends. It was urged that a provision should be made requiring due notice of inquest to be served on tbo person supposed to be insane, so that he may be given an opportunity of defending himself before final proceedings are had. Changes were also suggested in the law regarding recommitments, it being claimed that the blank forms that aro tilled according to the present system are too meager, failing to give a proper description of the patients. Several times the wrong person has been sent to a hospital on account of a similarity iu names. The certificate of one physician, that a person once committed to a hospital is insane and dangerous, with no further trial or evidence, is now sufficient to recommit him. In this way it has frequently occurred that patients formerly insane, but who have been discharged as cured, have been unjustly returned to confinement. The board also received a report on the condition of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane, located at Richmond. The committee said tbat the management of the hospital could be commeuded were it not for the circumstances surrounding the death of Jay Blount, the patient who was kicked to death. Secretary Johnson will go to Richmond Monday to attend tho trial of attendant Wood, which will be begun on that dajv CULLIXGS FROM THE COURTS. Shack's Demurrer to the Governor's Answer Sustained by Judge llrown. Judge Brown, of tbe Circuit Court, gave a decision yesterday in tbe case of State, on the part of relator, William A. Shuck, against AlvinP. Hovey, Governor, to compel tbe issuance of a commission to the relator as the legally elected treasurer of Jennings county. The decision, cover ing eleven type-writer pages, reviews the facts of tho case and the positions assumed by the Governor .in his answer to the complaint and the relator's demurrer. In regard to the defendant's petition that Cope, the Republican candidate defeated by Shuck, who is alleged to be ineligible. be made a party to tbe mandamus pro ceedings, the court ruled that mandamus does not lie to try a title to an office. quo warranto being the remedy. The writ oi mandate to compel its issuance does nut involve the title to an office, which, it is interred, must be settled in other actions. The motion to strike out that part of the return which seeks to make Cope a party was sustained. In regard to tne Governor's right to refuse Shuck a commission. Judge Brown held tbat Shuck Qualifying in ten days and paying to the retiring treasurer $2,857.06, was entitled to tho commission, without regard to tho fact that the real amount of the shortage, though much larger, may be yet unpaid. It is not yet known whether the cause, tho outcome of which is thus foreshadowed. will come to trial before Judgo Brown or whether it will go to the bupreme Court on the pleadings. German in the Schools. The case of Theodore Sander against the Board of School Commissioners, to com pel the teaching of German, in tbe public schools, was argued before tho Supreme Court yesterday. It was decided by Judge Howland.in the Circuit Court, in Mr. Sanders favor, and the board took the appeal. Lucius B. Swift and W. P. Fishback argued for Mr. Sander, and the School Commis sioners were represented by their attorney. Charles W. Smith. I he latter s grouud of argument was that the school board cannot aftord to provide instruction in German iu all of tbe schools without detracting from l t ; - r . t . 1 1 ine eruciency requireu oi me rugiisn departments. Notes from the Dockets. Henry Holley and Al Bizer, on pleas of guilty, were yesterday lined and costs each in the Criminal Court for assaulting cetecuve iwingensmun. Thurber. Wylaud & Co. brought suit yes terday against Eugene Pasauier and Charles J. Many, his assignee, to recover goods valued at $S4?.M alleged to be unlaw fully held by the defendants. John M. Butler left last night for Wash ington, D. C, to argue before the United States Supreme Court tho case of the Tole do, St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad Compauy regarding terminals at Toledo. This case is what is known as tbe Knceland terminal suit. The will of Charles M. Raschig was pro bated yesterday, Fivo thousand dollars was bequeathed to Florence, the adopted daughter of tbo deceased, and tbe balance of the estate was divided equally between the widow and the two children, Annio L. Joces and Charles F. Raschig. Judge McBride, of the Supreme Court. was given his commission by tbe Secretary of State yesterday for bis new term. His Inst commission was for the unexpired term of tbe late Judge Mitchell and the second for the term to which Judge Mitchell was re-elected, the commission continuing. though, only until a judge is elected at the next general election.

ENGLISH'S OTERA - 1IOUSE THE FAKIR. "The Fakir" is at last in the hands of capable people, who make a bright per formance of it. The audience at English's Opera-house last night was large and quite l ri : I- i w r lavisu wiiu i is nppiausc iaric cuiuvan, formerly with "Natural Gas." is a de cided success as Seth Baker. He has a larger and better line of imitations than anyone who has recently attempted tbat specialty in this city. Alice Harrison is an improvement over Flora Moore as Charity Banks, and the audience could t not get enough of her specialties. Rosa France never looked better, eang more sweetly or danced more gracefully than last night aa Patty Boker. Jeannette St. Henry was pleasing in her solo, and also in a duo with George MitohelL As the four giddy burlesque girls Jennie Eddy, Mollie Sherwood, Josio Sutherland and Dudie Traey were as lively and interesting as their parts signify. John Bunny was funny in both make-up and action, as Colonel Lexington, the theatrical manager, and his poker game with Boker in tne second act was a hit. Tbe other members of the company are capable and the performance decidedly the best ever given of this xnnch-adver-tisnd skit. It will be repeated this afternoon and to-night, and the last-named performance will conclude the engagement. NOTES. Hoyt's "A Midnight Bell" will begin its second engagement at the Grand Thursday night. Those who have seen this delight ful play need not be told of its merits, and those who have not should not -let tho nnnnrtnnitv to Rffi it tar hv. The McCaull Opera Company, with Miss Helen Bertram, otherwise. Miss Laura Burt, of this city, as prima donna, will begin a three nights' engagement at the Grand ori the loth inst. xWith the company rA Dicbv Hp 1 1. Laura .Tnrrn Itwll Phanncey Olcott and Madame Cottrelly. The company also gives "Clover," "Black Husft I . L O .! 5ai ' Bun nevfii ouaoians. Margaret Mather will begin a three nights and Wednesday matinee engagement at the Grand Mondav nicrht iiayL This will be one of tho special events of the season. This appearance of Miss Mather win be particularly noticeable because of the production of "Joan of Arc," as she, alone, of all leading stars, had tho confidence and enterprise to buy the American rights to the play and expend the money its scenio effects, historic costuming and operatic richness require. Tbe versiou is that in which M me. Sara Bernhardt made an eminent success in Paris and Loudon last season. Tbe Wilbur Opera Company is playing to the capacity of tbo Park Theater. Tbe operas are very well presented, proving that good opera is possible at popular prices. Miss Klrwin is a charming actress and can sing with tbe best of light opera firime donne. The specialties of tbe Misses lamilton. Howard and Wolf, George Fisher and Master Le Brun are great features and are introduced in all the operas. This afternoon and evening "Princess of Trebizonde" will bo produced. To-night Mr. Will Kohnle, of this city, will make his only appearance with the company, singing Trcmolino.
