YEEIGI1T BUSINESS LIGHT

0c favorable Weather Caused a Ileavj Falling Off in Trade Last Week. last-Bonnd Shipments of Grain, Produce and Trorisions Increased, tut the Drcrrase in Weat-Eonnd Business Was Very Marked. The train records show that there xreie received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending Dec. SI, 17,478 loaded cars, a decrease as compared with the preceding veek of 2.244 cars, S05 fewer cars than were handled in the corresponding weok of 1801, and 141 below the record of 1SC0. The light movement of lait week places it below any -week since the 1st of Jane, and only in two cases was there a lighter movement in any week daring the year 1S92. The decrease Beems general with all lines, that is as compared with the week ending Deo. 21, 1S92. The Pennsylvania lines, which have been showing a very heavy movement of loaded cars for some weeks, fall oft altogether nearly a thousand cars, and all the Big Four lines show a sham decline in business. One of the causes is bad weather tor moving trains. It is noticeable that the shipments of grain east increased last week, as did the shipments of cotton, produce and provisions, while in west-bound tonnage a marked decrease was shown. This was looked for after the holiday business rush was over. Weit-bound, however, the cold weather increased the shipments of an thraoite coal and coke, and the loeal roads s4so have been handling more coal, as many of tbe manufactories which had been burning natural gas are now burning coal through the winter months. Another important reason for the decrease in business shown is the light movement of live stock. Hot In the last ten years have the local shipments, and not in seven years the Ihrouah shipments, been as light as at the present. The bottom seems to have cone out of local business. Building has been stopped by the severe weather, aud the shipments of stone, brick and lumber are down to a light point. The commissionhouses have been handling less produce, it being risky to shin fruits and vegetables, but one feature of trattio. Bays a loeal freight agent, has been up to its usual amount as compared with weeks in months past; that it, the ship- . msnts of furniture, machinery and other products of Indianapolis manufacturers. In this there eeems to be no decrease. That there are still large quantities of grain, produce, etc, to be marketed, and that with good weather business will go back to a maximum no one questions. This is the first lull in business for some months, and the clerks, platform men, and in fact agents are rather pleased that it came during the holiday time, as it relieves the strain temporarily. Below Is given the number of loaded cars received and forwarded at this point for the week ending Dee. 21, as compared with the correspondlag week of the preceding two years: CD 3 Pi . : a !

T., V. & O. Railroad. The Interstate-commerce Commission, by Commissioner Knapp, has rendered its opinion in the case of the Board of Trade of Chattanooga against the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Hallway Company and others. The complaint alleged that the rates on trafuo from New York and other Atiantio seaboard points to Chattanooga are unreasonable in themselves, and relatively, as compared with rates on like property to Memphis and Nashville, and that rates on such t radio are greater for the shorter distance to Chattanooga than for the longer distance over the same line, in the same direction, to Memphis and Nashville The court held that the defendants are justified, by the existence of water competition of controlling force, in charging less on such trailio for the longer distance to Memphis, but that no such competition exists for ench trallic to Nashville, and any greater charge for the transportation of like kind of property from said sea-board points for thesborter distance to Chattanooga than for the Ionizer distance through Chattanooga to Nashville is in violation of the fourth section of the act to regulate commerce. The defendants are ordered to desist from making such greater charges to Chattanooga. One transportation line canDot be said to meet tho competition of another transportation lino for tbe carrying trado of auy particular locality unless the other line could and would perform the service alone if tbe former did not undertake it. Wfien great disparity exists between charges which are lower to competitive than to intermediate points much less remote the inference is irresistiblo that tbe lower rato is unreaiunerativo or that tho larger rato gives unwarranted return for tho sexvico rendered. Hetty Green a Itailronrl AX en ate. The purchase of tne Waoo & Northwestern railroad by Mrs. Hettie Green, of New York, places that system under the control of C. I. Huntington, who will run it as a part of tbe Houston & Texas Central system. ThV purchased road will remain in charge of tbe United .States Court for the present. Mrs. Green now owns controlling interest in tbe whole Texas Central system, as well as being the owner m fact of tbe old Waco & Northwestern, just purchased. Tbe wbolo system will soon be merged into ono triangular road by building a connecting line duo east and west between Garrett and Morgan via liillsboro. Personal. Local and General Notes. All the city freight depots will be closed to-day and at noon the outside ticket otlices. The earnings of tho Miohigan railways in lbi2 were 14.06 per cent, in excess of those of lt'JL The directors of the Wabash have declared a 3 per cent.

Albert Horner, the well-known traveling passeuger acent of the Niokel-platu roo.it, who has been seriously ill for some weeks, is reported to bo improving. The earnings of the C, C, C. & St. L. (Big Four the third week in December were Sol 911, a decrease as compared witn the corresponding week in lb'Jl of 14,b7. The Big Four took out for tbe West last week from Cincinnati over the Chicago division 1.503 loaded cars, tho lightest westbound movement in any week since Aug. 1. J. L. Patterson, traveling passenger agent otthe Big Four, had bis watch and (mite a sum of money stoleu from him on Tbursiiay itigbt last when stopping at the Gallon House. Tbe Kvansvillo Sc Terie Haute directors have declared a quarterly dividend of tih I-t-r cent., pavablo Jan. 25. Hereafter this company will make its dividends quarterly instead of semi-ariuually. A number of roads are testing an airbrake invented by a mechanic on the Now York Central road, and its workings are o satisfactory that at Wateriown, wbero tbe

His headquarters will bo Washington. The ten-wheel passenger engines of the Big Four are developing to be very fast runners. No. 1S4 yesterday, with unfavorable track and weathor conditions, this side of Greencastle, hauling Train 18. ran three miles successively at an average speed of a milo in forty-eight seconds, as timed by experts. The weather for moving trains has been so unfavorable since the now plan on tho Pennsylvania linesof bnnobing trains went into eilect that no real test of its eQioienoy has yet been made, but the transportation department is very confident that under ordinary circumstances it will prove of great advantage. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad has secured an outlet tothe Gulf of Mexico by the purchase of the Volasoo terminal railroad, running from Volasco, Tex., to Chenango, Tex., where it now connects with tho International & Great Northern. The Yelasco terminal owns the right of way into Houston. For the third time tbe building of tho New Albany V Vincennes road has been revived, the new management or. tbe Ohio & Mississippi giving the projectors encouragement, as it would give tho O. it M. an eiehtcen-mile shorter line between Louisville and St. Louis. A company to build it will probably be organized this weoir. The two engines which went down in the wreok on the St. Louis division of the Big Four at its crossing of the Wabash river now lie under twenty-five feet of water, wbich is covered with several inches of ice. The company, now chat the bridge is rebuilt, will this morning make preparations to raise the enciuos and recovor the body of engineer Allison. The work of making the Pennsylvania road a four-track road between Altoona and Pittsburg, 117 miles, is being energetically pushed. The cost of grading ranges from 81,000 to SlO.fXX) per mile. Sections on which tbe cost is the heaviest will not be graded until the lighter work is completed, the widening of the tunnels being tbe last undertaking. The division superintendents of tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines bavoln training a number of men for train service, in preparation for tho increased business looked for in conunection with the world's fair business. The C, H. & D. management is falling into the line with roads which till vacancies or new positions by the promotion of men. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton superintendent of motive power is hurrying Master Mechanic McKeuna, of tho Indianapolis, Decatur &. Western shops, up in the rebuilding of the two C. H. & D. locomotives-be has in the 1., D. & W. shops, as he wants to run in four more, which means a busy winter for the I., D. fc W. shops when coupled with its own work. The directors of the Louisvillo & Nashville road will meet on die 9th of this month to hear tho results of last year's bnsinoss and declare a semi-annual dividend. The report to be submitted will show the earnings of the road considerably in excess of those of 1S91. After paying tho dividend there will be a handsome surplus in the treasury to useju improvements to the property. Work on the Columbus &. Sandusky Short-line is now progressing rapidly. Nine construction trains are distributing ballast. Tbe depots on tho line, which are of a modern style of architecture, are nearing completion. Those at junctiou points arecompleted. The road begins with twelvo locomotives, 590 coal cars and 200 box cars. Freight trains are to be put on Jan. 17 and passenger trains Feb. 1. J. B. Eckman yesterday be can his eighth year as supervisor of tho Indianapolis, tho Terre Haute, the Kvansvillo and the Vincennes Joint Weighing and Inspection Bureaus. He began bis work with but four of tho Indianapoiis lines in tho association. Now all are in the association, and the bureaus at tho cities named have been added. He is a very busy o'licial, and tbe results of his labors aro of great advantage to the roads. Thomas Morns, sr.. yesterday, in looking over some old papers, came across tho plans and specifications for laying the track of the Madison & Indianapolis road, dated in tbe early forties. One of the striking features of the sprtcificationsas the caro with which tbe minor details, as well as the more important ones, were prepared, and the cost of the raiiH and fastenings as compared witn mo present, which ehowed that in building railroads in that period thore wero great obstacles to overcome. A railroad oflicial of considerable prominence, and who has advanced ideas, expresses tho opinion that within thn next two years the Vanderbilt people will control the Wabash system. The purchase, of tbe new Detroit and Chicago division bv tbe Lake Shore in the near futnro will not be in any manner, ho says, a surprise. While this road has boen building the Lake Shoro has allowed it to cross it at points nesirea nnu maKe no obstruction, and favored it in making rates for building material. Tho Wabash stook is very low and paying no dividends, and it would bo a master stroke for tho anuerbilts to se cure control of the several linen in the W abash system, letting the Vanderbilt lines into Kansas City and the many otber points in the West' which the Wabash reaches. Yesterday a number of changes took ef fect on the Pennsylvania lines, which in cluded the creation of two new divisions, and several promotions attendant thereon. 1 rank LUmaker. formerly assistant enciuoer of tho Monougahela division, has been appointed superintendent of the Del aware. Extension A: Kensington division. It consists of territory contiguous to Phila delphia. D. II. Lovell has been appointed superintendent of tbe Cambria fc Cresson division. A. W. Moss has been appointed superintendent oi the t rederick division. vice A. P. Gest. transferred. Almet E. Keed has been appointed superintendent of the Lewiston division, vice A. W. Koss, trans ferred, and i rank I irth uobb has been ap pointed superintendent of the Bedford division in the place of D. II. Howell. transferred. Olt B. Starbnck. an old Bee-lino man. now superintendent of tbe Peoria. Decatur & Lvansville road, calls attention to a run last week with a theatrical party, from Mattoon to Evansville, 130 miles, which was done in three hours and eighteen minutes, not deducting time lost in stopping for six railroad crossings, which would re duce tbe time to about three hour9 aud ten u.innte. Considering that tho track is en tirely dirt ballast this is pretty fair time. In speaking of the improvements to the property he rays: "In addition to putting our track in better physical condition than it has been for years weiave in tho l ist two years put up tivo lino iron bridces and have another undT process of construction. ThU includes a new iron structure over the Wabash river, costing alono $:0.000. Wo are now lay in t: a track into a tiue uravcl. pit. and during tho coming sprint; aud hum mer will gravel manv miles of our tr.ick. n fact, this line has a bright future and its physical condition is being much improved."

SEW PUBLICATIONS.

From the Borecn-Mcrrill Co., Iudianapollt. Charles L. Webster & Co., Now York, issue a new work by Henry George, entitled "A Perplexed Philosopher," and designated in a sub-title as "an examination of Mr. Herbert Spencer's various utterances on tho land question, with some incidental reference to his synthetic philosophy." The "perplexed philosopher" is Mr. Spencer. This work is an attempt to show that Mr. Spencer has, in his later works, recanted his views in regard to the ownership of land expressod in some of his earlier works. Mr. George considers tho early views of Spencer in favor of tho equal right to land as correct, and his change of views an example of intellectual prostitution. "In his first book," says Mr. George, "written when he believed in God. in a divine order, in a moral sense, and which he bat now emasculated, he does appear as an honest and fearless, though somewhat too careless, a thinker. But that part of our examination which crosses what is now. his distinctive philosophy shows him to be as a philosopher ridiculous, as a man contemptible a fawning Vicar of Bray, clothing in pompous phraseology and arrogant assumption logical confusions so absurd as to be comical." This is sufficiently dogmatic to say tho least. Mr. George evidently does not recognize the possibility of a man growing wiser as ho grows older and revising or retracting views expressed in early life wbich he buds were erroneous. Cloth, 1. "Winnowed Grassos" is the title of a small volume of verses by Joseph S. Heed. They embrace a variety of topics, sentimental and serious, together with some dialect verses. Tho attempts at dialect are not very happy. Of tho other poems it must be said that while they show at times a bright fancy and some facility in rhyming, they nowhere reveal any depth of thought or poetio feeling. The author can produce rhymes, but he cannot write poetry. Pnblished by the Bowen-Merrill Co., Indianapolis. Cloth, 81.

"History of the United States from tho Compromise of 153," by James Ford Khodes, is a work whoso character is indicated by its title. The period referred to, covering about the spaco of a generation, from ISoO to the inauguration of Grover Cleveland, embraced the events leading up to the war, tho entire var period, the reconstruction period aud several years following. It was an era big with fate for our country, ranking in interest and im portance next to the revolutionary aud constitutional period. This work is a clear ami comprehensive history of the political conditions that preceded the period referred to and of its leading events. The introductory chapters are given to an account of the introduction and growth of slavery, its influence in American politics aud tbe controversies and compromises to which it gave rise. The Mexican war and its results are described, and interesting sketches are given of Clay, Webster. Cal-' houu, Soott, Pay lor, Douglas, Benton and many other notable characters. Tho events immediately precediug the secos'sion of tho Southern States and the war of tho rebellion aro clearly sot forth, and the political campaign of 1VX, and tho election of Abraham Lincoln are treated at some length. This ends the second volume of the work, which, if the author's plan is carried out, will bo followed by others. If the work should not bo brought down any further theso two volumes will make a valuable additiou to American history.

Something of Bright People Who Have Become Victim of the Fin do SI role Parents. Exciwnjje. It is said that Frank Carlysle's mind has given way and that at present he is under restraint in some small city of tho West. This will add one more to the apparently numerous list of insano actors. Wo say apparently because, as a matter of fact the theatrical profession farnisbes fewer lunatics than almost any otber where brain work is tho essential quality of every-day life. There are 500 or GtO patients in Bloomingdale inst now; only two of them are actors. 1 he proportion of brokers, for instance, is larger by teu to ono. It is true that particular attention has been called to actors going suddenly mad from the fact that their disease appears always to be the same paresis wbilo otber sections of people when they go mad develop various and different symptoms. Scanlan, Kerncll, George Knight, John McCullough, Bartley Campbell, Tony Hart all these, and some few others we do not think of just at the moment were stricken with precisely the same disease. In every one of theso cases the cause was the same, with perhaps tbe solitary exception of Knight. It was worry, short hours of sleep and dissipation. Take Scanlan, one of the recent cases. He used to boast that on an average he did not havo more tnan two or three hours' sleep in the twenty-four. As soon as the performance was over at the theater he would rush to some gambling-house, smoke heavily, play feverishly, and drink a good deal more than was good for him. So excellent an authority as Dr. Thomas H.Allen etates that nine cases of paresis are caused by overdrinking and short hours of sleep to one case from any other cause. Ho is certainly borne oat in his judgment by the instances of John McCullongh. Kernell and Bartley Campbell. Campbell may be said to have died of a "swelled head." He was so flattered by a number of parasites around him that he gradually got to believe himself a very great man. He saw illimitable wealth before him, so he began scattering his money around him. Nothing would do but large quantities of cbampague. Horse cars ceased to be good enough for his trips through the citv. He exhibited, in short, what the French call the "maladie de grandeur." With it came the usual lack of sleep, the usual overdrinking and the usual sudden break in his cerobral apparatus. . McCullongh was one of the most genial of good fellows. He hardly ever know what it was to go to bod before 5 or C in tho morning. Yet he seldom slept or remained in his room after 9 or 10. He was feted a good deal by all classes of people. These made great demands npon his time, and on his brain and stomach. First the stomach gave way, then the brain. Mental worry is one of tho greatest causes of paresis. It was this more than dissipation that carried oft Tony Hart, and George S. Knight was so terribly disappointed over the failure of "Baron Kndolph." whioh had been written for him by Bronson Howard, that he brooded over it until his mind became unbalanced. It was very much the same with Tony Hart. Ho unquestionably believed himself to be the principal and most ponjilar member of the lirm of HarrUan fc Hart. The women got to quarreling (and in saying this thero is certainly no reflection on Mrs. Harrigan). The husbands grew cold toward ono another and each started off for himself. The result is too recent to need any long story, but it will probably never be known how keenly Hart felt tbe success of his former partner and his own defeat. As Georgo Knight brooded over tho "Baron Kudolph" all air, so did Tony Hart weep over his own altered fortunes until mental collapse came and the usual verdict of the physician, paresis. A THItUST AT PRUSIDKNT ELIOT. llis Bit of Sharp Practice Id Agreeing to Admit Women to Harvard. Wrstern Christian A vocate. And now comes President Eliot, of Harvard, and says that women may be admitted to that venerable institution, provided that, in addition to the annex, they give $150,000 to its treasury. Two comments. First, we have here a shrewd stroke of business. It is not blackmailing. It smacks of bribery. It is a sharp commercial proposition. The versatile president sees a new lield to reap, and proposes to reap it close. A quarter of a million added to the endowment is qtuto an increment. It is not needed to provide new teachers for the women students. The present forco is sutlicient. So are tho buildings. But what is the sense in manumitting these slaves of prejudicol Let them buy tbeir freedom. So says this Jay Gould of the educational Wail street. Second But President Eliot confesses judgment. It is now only a question of costs. TheS250,0i0 makes no difference in the merits of the ca. There is no conceivablo cotmt otion between the two. If it would be proper to admit women after payment of money it would be proper before. Thus the principle is conceded. This is the main thing. Custom will presently conform to principle. The women should de cline with thanks. Unconditional admissiou or none. They were "free-born." A CM'd't Appreciation of Tennyson. Ar.nle Fleltfa, in January JIarper. Thero is a keen remembrance, lingering ineradicably with the writer, of a little girl coming to school once upon recitation day, with a "pieco" of her own selection safely stored away in her childish memory. It was a new poem to tho school. aud when her turn came to recite her soul wan full of the gleam and tclorv of Camelot. Sho felt as if she we ra unlocking a treasure-house, and it was with unspeakablo ploasuro to herself that 6h save, verfo after verso, the entire poem of "The Lady of SbalotL" Doubtless the child's voice drifted away into sing-song, as her wholo littlo self seemed to drift away into the land of fairy, and doubtless also the busy teacher, who was more familiar with Jauo Taylor and Cow per, was sadly puzzled. When the child at length sat down, scarcely Knowing where she was in her Midden desceut from the land of marvel, she heard tho teacher say, to her amazement and discouragement, after an ominous pause, "I wonder if any young lady can tell me what this poem means!" There was no reply. "Can you toll usl" was the next question, pointed at tho poor little girl who had just dropped out of cloudland. "I thoughtit explained itself," was tho plaintive reply. With a slight air of depreciation, in another moment the next recitation was called for, and the dull clouds of routine shut down over tbe sudden glory. "Shades of tbe prisonhouse" then and there began to close over tbe growing child. ' One joy had for the present faded from her life, that of a sure sympathy and understanding. Not oven her teacher could see what she saw, nor could feel what lay deep down in her own glowing heart. Nevertheless Tennyson was henceforth a seer and a prophet to this child and tothe growing world; but for some, who could never learn his language, he was born too late. A College Settlement. New York Mall a :d Express. Vassar girls dressed three hundred dolls fordUtribntion at Christmas by the college settlement in Rivington street. There can be no question but that the collego settlement does much good in two ways. The women and children of tbe slums are largely aided, but this direct good is greatly overehadowded by the indirect. One month in tho settlement will give an ordinary college girl more knowledge of the otber half of the world than she would otherwise gain perhaps in nil her life. She learns how poor tbe great majority of people are; how they must struggle and labor to keep from the almshouse; how few pleasures they enjoy. Mie sees, day and nUht. the misery caused by intemperance. She meets every hour some boy or girl who mitfht grow into honored members of society could their environment be changed. She realizes tbe awiul blight of vice which ravages wholo sections a tho myriad grasshoppers ravage great tracts of the West. Dnuietlo Ingenuity, Chicago Inter Ocean. "See," said a woman recently, "what I have dono with an old-fashioned silver caster. 1 didn't need a fern dish, tq which usetbene thine usually lend thcjiiselves nowadays, but I havo bceu sighing for a silver lamp, and now I have it. Tbe howl of my caster was high, as you see, and it was very easy after the handle bar had Iteon un-

screwed to have a glass oil receiver fitted to it. Then with shade, chimney and burner, this lovely boudoir lamp, at which every boly exclaims in admiration, was easily evolved. And my sister, who owns the duplicate of this, converted hers, with the addition of some silver chains. Into a silver incense burner, which everybody thinks must have come from some old Roman palace. Nowadays," finished tho woman, rather incoherently, anybody who has anything can always do something with it." m A Dl(Triic of Talent. New York Commercial Advertiser. In journalism, as In other piirsults, the tendency is toward a division of employment, its various departments call for qualities which are generally distinct and are rarely found united in the same man.
