A SEVENTY-ONE-MILE SPEED
President Insalls's Private Car Makes a Dizzj Trip to Greencastle. Interrleired bj a Journal nepresentatiYO While on the Wj-B!sr Peal bj the Chic&ffo, Kansas Citj St SL Faul Settled On. A represeatatiTe of the Jourmlyesterday accompanied M. K. lnsalls. president of the C, C. C. &. St. L.. and two of the directors and General Superintendent Peck, who are. on an inspection trip, as far as Greencastle. Tee SoQthweetern limited, to which the officials' car was attached, left the Union Station twenty-eight minutes late, whioh save an opportunity for this fast train to make up some lost time, and the run from Danville to Greencastle was made in eighteen minutes distance twenty miles. The party watched the indicator closely, and it howed that aome miles were covered at the rate of seventy-one miles an hour, the average speed the entire distance Leins CC 2,5 miles an hour, with live heavy cars trailing. In commenting on the physical condition of the Big Four lines, Mr. Ingalls said he looked upon the SL Louis division as being in the beat condition physically, although the greater portion of the old IJee-lino was in better shape than ever before, lty Aug. 1 he expected that the best divuiou would be between Indianapolis and KankaJtee. as a good deal of work was to be done on it in the next few months. He thought the Chicago division, between Cincinnati and Indianapolis, was in excellent condition, whenit was taken into consideration that forty heavy freight and passencers trains are soundinz over it daily. As to equipment, he said he wanted one bundred more engines, and sixty ot tueui would be under contract within the next two "weeks; he did Dot care much what locomotive-works built them, as the locomotive-works of this country, without exception, were building the best engines turned ont in the history of locomotiveworks. He had all the cars he wanted, including passenger equipment, and. with one hundred more engines, the Big Four system would earn more money per mile than any road in Ohio. Indiana or Illinois. As to finances, Mr. Ingalls said that while he was in New York last week the last of the papers through which the CC. C. & St. X. came into fall possession of the St. Louis. Alton &. Terre ilauto road were signed and delivered, and hereafter, instead of paying a fixed charge of $450,000 and 37 per cent, of the gross earnings after this division earned a certain sum, they had only $400,100 to pnt up annually in the tray of fixed charges. He added that since tlie consolidation ot the Uig Four system was etlected he had converted $41,000,000 of bonds, which were bearing G to ? per cent, interest, into that amount of bonds bearing but 4 per cent, interest, and not one of these bonds was sold below 'J7 cents on the dollar, and a majority of them at par. Regarding the Chesapeake & Ohio, another road of which he is president, he said that it had Dot begun to reach its earning capacity; it, too. was in need of more power. There were on the system Sjo locomotives. 2C0 of them practically new; the remainder were old. but some of them had good service in them yet; others would go into the scrap-heap and be replaced with more modern heavy engines. The road would soon be in good condition financially, and no road in the country had a brighter future. Regarding new extensions. Mr. Ingalls said that a survey had been completed for the Richmond extension. Estimates of its cost were nw being prepared, and probably it would De built this year. This was all tha now road that would be built, and possibly work would not be begun on this before next fall. The C, St. 1. & IL. C. Leased. An important meeting of the directors of the Chicago, St. Paul & Eausas City cempany was held at 8L Paul yesterday. Jblr. Stickney, chairman of the board of "directors, said: "The meeting of the directors was held for the purpose of considering a lease of the entire property of the Chicago, St. Paul &. Kansas City for ninety years to the Chicago Great Western Railway Company, a corporation of Illinois. The proposed lease was ratified by the directors. The Chicago. SL Paul Ac Kansas City has now been in operation about five and a half years. The year 1S87 it operated 855 miles; the next year, COS miles: the next. 750; the next, 814; tho next. SCO, and it is now operating ttJ miles. During all this time the older roads which bave not added to their mileage, like the Chicago A, Alton, have shown a decrease, year by year, in their earnings per mile, while those roads that have added new mileage, with undeveloped earning capacity, like the Rock Island, have shown a much larger decrease. Bat the Chicago, fct. Paul Ac Kansas City, notwithstanding the new mileago it has taken in, has shown an increase, year by year, its earnings per mile now beingaboutSO percent, larger than in 1887. As rates have constantly decreased this large increase in earnings has resulted from a much larger increase in tonnage, which, during the same period, has increased about '-SO per cent. The volume of its traffic is now only exceeded by two Western roads, the Chicago Ac Alton and the Chicago & Northwestern, and the prospect is that in a few years more it will take first place in this respect. To accommodates thisever-increasing volame of business requires largo expenditures for additional terminal facilities and equipment. To state the position in a word, the tratlic of this company has already outgrown the expectations of its founders, and the linancial plan of its organization. To meet this emergency, the Chicago Great Western company has been formed on a much larger financial basis, liy this arrangement which las been made, about ten million of the bonded indebtedness will be converted into stock of the Chicago Great Western company, thereby reducing by about 000 per annum the interest charges, which before were much lower per mile than any of its competitors. At the same time arrangements have been made to raise by an issue of stock only, about $3,000,000 to bo used in increasing its facilities in order to accommodate its increasing business." "The lease, plan and arrangements.'7 said 31 r. Stickney, "were submitted to the board of directors for approval, and have received the unanimous consent of the directors, and a meeting of the stockholders has been called to ratify their action. More than two-thirds of the stockholders have already informally signified their approval. There can be no doubt as to what their formal action will bo. The lease is to take eilect July 1." Grand Kaplds Indiana Changes. James Keegan has been appointed master mechanic of tho Grand Rapids Ac Indiana railway shop at Grand RaDids, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Into I T. Ilradley. Up to the time of Mr. Ilradley's death Mr. Keegan was general foreman of the shops. Since ht'hasbeen acting master mechanic. The (J rati d Raoids iV Indiana Railroad Company will receive, this week, live of twenty-three new engines ordered from the Baltimore locomotiveworks. The entue number will be in service by Aug. 1, and ten or twelve engines cow in service will boeither rebuilt or sent to the scrap-heap. Mow Railroad Save Money. Chief Kainor. of the inspection bureau of the Central Tratlic Association, and of the joint rate committee of the Eastern and Western roads, has issued a statement showing the workings of the department during ISO!. His figures indicate that the correction of weights at points iu tho Central Tratlio Association territory secured to the roads a net gain in revenue of Slr.03. while at points in the territory of the joint-rate committee the nut gain was Frobsbly an Obi Scheme Revived. A correspondent who resides in Lagrange writes: "The Journal recently noticed that an incorporation bad been formed to build a railroad across northern Indiana, and was to file articles in Michigan. Ohio and Indiana, but no further statement has appeared. If such articles have been filed
the people np here would be glad to see some particulars, names of incorporators, counties to bo passed through. etc, and whether the indications are that it is a revival of Messrs. Had ley. Ketcham Ac White's bee-line," Inquiry fails to secure any information of a definite character. Robert C. Hell, of Fort Wyne, attorney for the late projected Toledo Ac Chicago Bee-line, was in tho city quite recently, and the tenor of his remarks regarding the enterprise gave some ground for a belief that it is the old Hadley, Ketcham & White enterprise. Howling Green Wants the Ysndalla. The citizens of Bowling Green and vicinity met at the court-house in that place yesterday and appointed a committee consisting of one member from each road district in the township to confer with W, It. McKeen. of the Vandalia railroad, and ascertain what kind of proposition he has to make with reference to the extension of tho road from Center Point to Bowling Green and points south. There is strong talk of tho extension. Personal, Loral and tieneral Notes. Joseph Ramsey. Jr., general manager of the Big Four Hues, is ill with troubles of au erysipelas character. On Sunday ten firemen on the Chicago & Erie road were uHmlfsM, aud that many engineers were set back to hrintr. The Wabash management has issued an order which prohibits train employes from reading when ou duty or conversing unnecessarily with passengers. The Louisville. Evansville Jtc St Loul3 Is to increase Its facilities for handling its business la New Albany by putting in nearly a mile of additional side-track. J. tf. Fitchey, general manager of the Duluth, fionth Bhoro fc Atlantic road, was la the city yesterday, accompanied by his family, who were en route home from a Southern trip. Benjamin McKeen. engineer of maintenance of way of the T. II. & J division of the Vandalia. is now in St. Joseph superintending the work on the Vandalia's new dock at that point. J. P. Ramsey, formerly ensrtneer of maintenance of way on tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis road, now with the Columbus k Hockitur Valley, was married in Columbus, O., Sunday last. Amonc other Improvements in progress on the Whitewater road is tho replacing of ell wooden structures over streams with iron. Within the next thirty days three new iron bridges on this line will be completed. Frank Darlington, superintendent of the Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania lines, has moved into his new quarters in the Union fetation, which are the most commodious and cheerful in the building. Oscar Murray, tratlio manager of the Big Four; D. B. Martin, general passenKor agent ot tho Big Four, and T. H. Noonan, general manager of the Central States Dispatch, went Bast yesterday to bo absent several days. Next week the L., N. A fc C. will begin to receive its new locomotives from the Baldwin works. The passenger engines will be powerful and fast, aud the freight engines heavier than any they now have in service on the road. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitwbunr, yesterday instructed tho company's agents at this point to sell round-trip tickets, Indianapolis to Chicago and return, fur $7.3u. Tho Competing lines will doubtless meet the rate to-day. The C, C. C. & ft, L. Mutual Benefit Association yesterday paid $1,000 to the legal heirs of the late C. C. dale, for many years superintendent of the Bee-line. Ills dues were kept up by a friend for four years, unknown to Mr. Gale or his family, who were left with but little of this world's goods. J. Q. Van Winkle, superintendent of the St. Louis terminals, has already introduced some reforms which make matters move more smoothly at that Important railroad center. He has won the confidence of the men, which Is aiding hlia in his new field, he giving them to understand that if they do their work properly they will remain with the company as long as he does. " With the Big Four taking full control, April J, of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan, W. 1. Baldwin, geueral passenger agent, becomes division passenger agent, witn headquarters at Blkhart, and i:. 3. itlackman remains with the road as traveling passenger agent, his territory being northern Indiana and Michigan. The business of this division at Indianapolis is placed under tho supervision of H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent. The fact that L. D. Casanave, superintendent of motive power of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, declined to go with the Philadelphia fc Beading at a largely increased salary, demonstrates two things: Tuat the Pennsylvania will not allow the P. & R. to profit by taking any of its skilled me n, and that Mr. Casanave is to be given a more important position than he now holds. lie has been called to Altoona. and developments in that direction may soon bo looked for. There has been an important amendment made to the rules governing the Pennsylvania's voluntary relief department. Heretofore, before nu employe was eligible to membership, he must have been in the employ of the company at least thirty days. Under the amendment he ineligi
ble from the first day of service. One of the good results of this new departure will be that tho examiner will be aide to determine whether an applicant is physically capable of enduring the hardships of railroad service. Mention was made, a short time ago, that sixteen bouthern roads had boycotted the Nickelplate line for cutting rates on cotton out of Memphis. John C. Rogers, the Nickel-plate a?ent who cut the rate, died at Memphis, on Sunday last, of brain fever, the mental strain in connection with this trouble causing, it is thought, his death. Mr. Rogers was an officer of the Chickasaw Guards and when they visited Indianapolis became well acquainted with a number of persons, lie was pdtmlar in all circles which he entered. fc'o common has it becomo for persons to ride on freight trains when having but a short distance to go that the following decision of the Indiana Supreme Court. Jut handed down, becomes of tome interest. The court held that a railroad company can make a rule that persons can ride ou freight trains only upon freight ticket.:: that a persou who desires to ride on a freight tralu ticket must Inform himself as to the rules of tho company regarding such ticket, and if he reflects to do so before boarding a train and presents for his fare a ticket different from that prescribed by tho company, -the conductor may refuse to take It, and may even refuse to take a cn h fare, aud may put the person on his train, although the traveler be ignorant of the rule. An old-time railroader, now a business man on tho I, N. A. fc C. main line, said yesterday that the Morion was the best local road lu the State of In liana If the company would take care of its local business, but It ban gone crazy on through business and there were many points on the maiu linA as well as on the Indianapolis division which it was impossible to go to and return tho same day as trains are now run. A clttzeu of Greencastle, for Instance, who wanted to go to Futnaniville. an important town but ten luilcs away, cannot go there and return the same day by tram, nnd all along the line complaints of the lack of local trains are heard. He was contident that were the company to take oil one of Its through fast trains each way and put in their place accommodation trains at convenient hours the patenter receipts of tho roid could be IncrenMd ."o per ccuLiand the night express trains would do a better business than they now do. Ilullding Permits. Building permits were yesterday issued to the following persons: II. Knowlcs, addition, 322 East Louisiana street, $374; Henry A. Tease, repairs. 10 Arch street, $$00; George A.

HARRINGTON WILL MANAGE
He Was Selected Last Nijjbt to Make a Pennant Winner of the Home Club. Eomethin; of Ills Brilliant Record as a HanBer cf Ball Clubs Tha Club Incorporated Exhibition Games Arranged. The directors of tho base-ball club met last evening in Mr. John T. Brash's room for organization. Mr. W. F. C. Golt was elected president and Mr. Philip F. Igoe.sec retary. The selection of Mr. Golt as president was a foregone conclasion, as he had been nnanimonsly agreed upon by the stockholders several days ago. , The complete list of stockholders is: IZoscoo O. Hawkins. J. C. McClntcheon, Ford Woods, Charles F. Meyer. Albert Lieber. Philip P. Igoe, John T. Brush. V. F. C. Golt, Henry Jameson and James H. Kice. Tbe capital stock is SlO.COO, divided into two hnndred shares of $50 each. The articles were'liled yesterday with the Secretary of State and county recorder. The directors, at their meeting last night, agreed unanimously to aDpoint William IL Harrington as their manager. The Jonrnal intimated on Sunday that Mr. Harrington would be selected, as he was by far the most capable man of any who had been considered. 'Billy" Harrington, as Lo is universally known, is an old-timer in the base-ball world. He has had a remarkably brilliant career, being the manager of six pennantwinning teams. He began jhis professional career in 1SS2, when he organized theorack Chicago Blaes, the best independent club that ever skipped a diamond. The Blues played nearly all the professional clubs, and succeeded in scoring many victories during 1SS2, and 1&1, with Mr. Harrington as tneir manager. They played professional clubs throughout Ohio, Indiana. Hliuois,tMissouri and Iowa, and their advent in a town was a signal for an exciting game, lu 188.1 Mr. Harrington managed the Keokuksof the Western Association, until July, when it disbanded. He took -Darby" O'Brien, Nat Hudson and George Harter to Denver, where bo was chosen manager, and won the penant of 18&5. The following year he went to Oshkosh, Wis., and managed the club there, bringing out deaf mute Biliy Hoy, afterwards the famous center fielder of the Washington Leaguo team in 1S87-&S. In 1887 ho managed the La Cross team of the Northwestern League, which ended the season with four clubs tied for first place, which, after the play-oil', resulted in Harrington's team winning the flag. In Lima, O., of the Tri-btate League, secured his services. This league, consisting of ten clubs, put np rattling good ball, attractiog as much attention among baseball fans as any associajion in the business. Lima won the pennant, hands down. Canton, of the same league, the club with which he next oast his lot, in 1?S'J, also won the pennant. Last year Harrington was the guiding star of the Minneapolis club. While this club put up a splendid game of ball everybody who knows anything about the game is familiar with the history of the Western Association last season. Sufiice it to say that Harrington's team was game to the end. and the fact that the association ended in a mud bank was no fault of his or his team. Indianapolis can , congratulate herself that she has aecured'as good a manager as Mr. Harrington, and that no other dob of tho present Western League has a better one. Besides tbe selection of a manager the directors fixed the price of season tickets at which is remarkably cheap, considering the fact that it includes admission to the grand-stand for seventy games, which is a fraction over 23 cents a game. The regular admission is 25 cents, and grand stand 25 cents extra. Beside the exhibition games arranged with Cincinnati April 6 to 11, inclusive, the first three on the home w rounds and tho last three in Cincinnati, games will be arranged with Cleveland, Louisville, Fort Wayne, Evansville and Peoria, 111. The regular championship season opens at home, April 10, with Milwaukee, when the club days three games, then three with Toledo, after which it goes to St. Paul. Minneapolis, Omaha and Kansas City, and returns here on May 7 to meet Minneapolis, i President Golt has been informed that ho can get Nagle for ono of the catchers instead of btockwell. which is an improvement. Nagle was with Eau Claire in lbtG, Oshkosh and La Crosse in 1S87, Omaha in lS'A and the Chicago League in lb'JO. He is a "corking'' good' thrower to bases, a sure hitter and a line back-stop. The matter of uniforms was not decided, although it is reasonably sure that the club will wear white with blue stockings on the home grounds and a solid dark color ou tbe road. Mr. Harrington left for Chicago last night to get matters in shape at that end. Another meeting of the ' directors will bo held tonight, at Mr. Brush's rooms. It was decided that V. M. C. A. park will bo used by the homo club. Incorporated. The Indianapolis Base-ball Club was incorporated yesterday with a capital stock of $10,000. The Incorporators are It. O. Hawkins, J.

His friends, believing that he had been lynched, became frightened and returned here. Amoroso save he was taken across the mountains about ten miles to a stream and ordered to wade to the other side. When he reached tha middle of the stream it was so deep that he was compelled to swim for his life. The desperadoes then followed him and when he reached tbe land they stripped him of his clothes and horsewhipped him.
