MANY NEW MEMBERS

New Lorie of the American Hailway Union at Danville, 111. Nearly 300 Employes or the C. & E. I. Koad Join Improvement in Local Freight Shipments. Several hundred employes of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroaJ. Including1 engineers, firemen, conductors, Lrakemen, switchmen anl shopmen, met In 0M Fellows Hall. Danville, 111., yesterday. The meeting was called to order by C. W. Hughes, an engineer. A lengthy address was made by G. W. Howard, of Chicago, vice president of the American Railroad Union. He explained to the full satisfaction of hia hearers the weak points in the different railroad orders now in existence. At the close of his speech a local lodge of the American Railroad Union was organized here with 277 members. They are all Eastern Illinois men of the very highest stand ing, both on the road and In Danville. The officers are: President, John M. Smith, an engineer; vice president. Commerce Carr, a fireman: secretary. H. T. Riser, au engineer. The A. K. U. will not antagonize the old orders. Many of the employes will continue their membership in both. Others have already indicated their intention of retaining membership In but one order and that one the American Railroad Union. Mr. Howard left Danville, last evening, for Iirazil. Intl., where he will probably organize another lodge of the A. R. U. Improvement In Freight Ilntnei. The train records show that in the week ending April 7 there were ICS more loaded cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis than in the week preceding, but in comparison with corresponding weeks of ISO; and 1S02 the exhibit Is unfavorable. Through business seems the most affected. Eastbound the grain movement Is light, while the shipments of flour,, largely for export, and of products of the cerealine mills and starch wotks are in excess of the corresponding period last year, and the live stock shipments are in excess of those in March and April, 183.1. Recently there has been a marked Increase in shipments of hardwood lumber, veneering, hides and provisions. Seldom are the shipments of provisions as heavy as In April. West-bound, so far as high-class freight is concerned, the tonnage is well up with former years at the corresponding period, and In heavy groceries, such as sugars, coffees and salt, the business is fully up to the usual volume. In the low-class freights the decrease is the most noticeable, t'sually. In April, iron structural work for buildings and bridges Is moving in large tonnage; now there are occasionally a few carloads where ordinarily there would be a tralnload. In railway supplies the shipments are at a minimum, and the orders Leing placed are so limited that there Is but little probability of an early Improvement. Local business, while not up to the ordinary spring volume, is so much heavier than a few weeks ago that the local freight men are much encouraged. The movement, however, hi spasmodic; for two or three days the city freight depots and side tracks will be overtaxed to handle it, then there will be a lull of two or three days. Thirty to forty carloads of brick per day are being brought in for sewers, and broken stone, cement, asphalt and like articles for street improvements largely Increase In-bound traffic. Indianapolis is so much of a distributing point for agricultural and harvesting implements that these fi eights form an important item for trie roads. Uelow is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point for the week nding April 7. aa compared with the corresjonding week of two preceding years: Name of Road. 1S3I. 1803. ISO!

An official of the Pennsylvania, lines who recently spent several weeks in, Europa gives some Interesting information regarding the London & Northwestern railway, which appears in, one of the Pittsburg papers. This is the oldest and wealthiest of English road9, but he says English roads are not up to American roads in traveling facilities. He. adds that an idea of the magnitude of this road may be cathcred from the fact that the company has a working capital of over $533,0u0,0uo; an annual revenue of 8,500,000 and an expenditure of about $32,Oju,0); it operates 2,700 miles of road; it conveys yearly ti3,;M,X) ivassengM-s and 37,700,uoD tons of freight and minerals; it employs C2.000 people, 1S.6uo of whom are in the locomotive department; it owns 7.250 passenger cars, 5.S.ti) freight cars, 2,65n engines, W steamships and 3,fcu0 horse. Th?. number of stations cn the lin? is 800; there are 32.WO signal levers in operation and 17," signal lamps lighted every nignt; the total mileage run by the company's engines collectively in one day is 170.562 miles, and during the whole year 62,25o.uu0 mile3. The safety of pasenners Is the first and foremost consideration with the directors and the company's officials; the trains are equipped with the vacuum brake and the Una Is worked throughout on the absoluts block system; each of the signal boxe is in eu crical communication with those on either side, and no train Is allowed to passa signal box until the preceding train has parsed out of th? section In advance and thai section Is perfectly clear. The permanent way Is of the most perfect build, and all tunnels, bridges and viaducts are constructed with solidity and thoroughness, wnJIe throughout th main portion (owing to the large tratlic) four distinct tracks of eteel rails are continually in use; the express trains run at a rate of forty-five to sixty miles per hour and are noted for their steadiness and for running on time. Probable Cut In Rutes. Freight rates between the Pacific coast and the Atlantic seaboard, owing to the competition by water, have for nearly a year been so low that most of thj wholesale trade of San Francisco has become almost monopolized by Xew York city, to the exclusion of the mldcontlnental points that formerly had a share of this business. Chicago has grown weary of this state of afTaJry and will make an effort to regain the patronage of San Francisco dealers. It Is reported in commercial circles that beginning un the lath int. the I'nioii Pacific railroad and its connections' will make the same rates from Chicago to Sin Francisco, that are- now driven to the Sunset route from New York to San Francisco. The reductions will be- very marked. On tirst-cl tss freight the rate that Is now $2.4 ier hundred pounds will lie $1.30; third-class now costing $2. will b $1.30: fifth-class, now J1.6M. will be 51.10. The minimum rate of TO cents ir 1 iounds on certain California products now allowed by thi Sunset route to Xew York will be granted by the Union Pacific and its connections to Chicago. The Santa Ft? nmte will introduce like rates from Chicago to San Francisco and Intermediate points on the 12th inst. Trnllie Note. The Vandalla is having a heavy business east bound, last week bringing Into Indianapolis 1,1'Ji against loaded cars forwanletl. The Pennsylvania lines made an unfavorable exhibit in the week ending April 7. handling at this point but 3.3vi. against 3,717 cars in the wetk preceding. It was an off wek with the In liana; olis division of the Pennsylvania lines, this 1 1 vision forwarding from. IndianaioHs but 712. and bringing in but 711 b aded tars. The I.nke Erie & Westtrn last week handled 412 loaded cars, only twelve more than It forwarded from Indianapolis in the week ending March 31. forwarding 2:53 and bringing in 17'J loaded cars. The empty car movement west lund Incrvusol last week over the preceding week. The. Vandalla forwarded west 200 empty cars, the Peoria Ai Eastern V.'.K the St. Imia division of the Rig Four 470, anil the Chicago division 321. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton still drop behind its usual volume of business, handling at Indianapolis last wet k but t2i cars; of that number 62 were loaded. Movements are on foot that will increase its business in the near future. The; IndianaKlis A. Vineennes Is making ar excellent business record in these deSrftiicd times, lost week handling at In

dianapolis within seventeen loaded cars as many as did the much more pretentious Louisville division, and bringing Into Indianapolis 433. again-st 361 brought in by the Louisville division. The Rig Four lines proper last week handled ut lndian.-nlis 7..""0 loaded cars.

or ?j2 more than in the week ending March ! 31. Two divisions handled more loaded cars than In the corresponding week of lvi. IJusiness over the St. Louis and the east end of the Chicago division was heavier than in any week tor some months. remonnl, Local nutl General "otc. Wm. X. Jackson, secretary of the Union Railway Company, is some better and sat up a little yesterday. The Louisville. Xew Albany & Chicago earned In March 1. S"S. a decrease as compared with March, 1M3, of &t,704. A rate war on flour out of St. Louis to the seaboard is now in progress between the lines operating via Toledo and Chicago. The Indianapolis, Decatur & Western and the Peoria, Decatur & Western, last week, became members of the Traders' Dispatch fast freight line. It is stated that General Manager Dickson, of the Union Pacific, will be appointed receiver in place off receiver Clark, who Is in very poor health. A. H. Waggoner has just completed his fifteenth year as representative of the Chicago & Northwestern in this territory, with headuarters at Indlanajolis. On Saturday the directors of the Panhandle lines met and declared a semiannual 2 per cent, dividend on the preferred stock, payable April 23. There is no truth in the report that the Rig Four Is again reducing the pay of platform men and freight depot clerks at the more important points on its lines. A station on the Peoria & Eastern, ninetyfour mii-s west of Indianapolis, has been named Rronson, In honor of II. M. Rronson, general passenger agent of the road. Grand Master Sargeant. of the Rrotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, left, last night, for Milwaukee, accompanied by Thomas Harper, the association's lawyer. Wilfred Little, supervisor of signals of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, is arranging his affairs to spend a few weeks in England. His wife will accompany him. On Saturday I). M. Watt, division superintendent of the Pennsylvania lines, celebrated the twenty-Iifth anniversary of his marriage. Over one hundred of his friends were present. There is a possibility that Austin Corbin will again be elected president of the New York & New England. In an Interview he does not deny that if it were offered to him he would accept. E. R. Stalhman, commissioner of the Southern Railway & Steamship Line, has Instructed the roads In the association to boycott the Chesapeake & Ohio, alleging that it is cutting rates. The Lake Erie & Western earned in March $263,272, a decrease as compared with March, 1&. of (t,m. Since Jan. 1 the earnings fall $155,000 below those of the corresponding three months of ISsOJ. J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Rig Four, and J. A. Rarnard, general manager of th Peoria &; Eastern, left yesterday for Xew York to attend the time convention which convenes there this week. Chancey R. Hammond, for several years past, local agent of the Monon at Lifavette. retires to-day and Is succeeded by L. If. Parker, of Dubuque, la., brother-in-law of W. H. McDoel, general manager of the property. The American Railway Union Is worrying the old organizations considerably. Vice President Howard, on Saturday, organized a division in Rrazil, numbering one hundred members and yesterday one of 130 in Danville. 111. An Eastern paper says there Is a prevailing belief among the friends of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago and those of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton that, within a few months, the two roads will be owned by the same syndicate. The refusal of the Wabash to cancel Its contract with the steamship lines, for the transportation of passengers at reduced rates has given rise to much anxiety alnut the iassenger agreement, and Commissioner Wane-hard is taking 3teps to bring the Wabash Into line. The fisht now In progress between the Southern lines is, it is said, ruining the business Interests of the South, and both Mr. Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville, and Mr. Felton, of the Queen &, Crescent, have been clven to understand by Eastern financiers, it is stated, that the sooner the personal squabble is ended the better. John Malay, a section loss on the Columbus division of the Panhandle lines, now ranks as the oldest man In time of service on the company's pay rolls. He helped build the road between Columbus and Newark. He Is now in his eighty-sixth year and has a gang of men under him who execute his orders with alacrity. He Is at his post In all kinds of weather. The selection of E. A. reck, a trainmaster, for suterlntendent of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania lines, and H. Ronebrake. another transportation man, for superintendent of the Louisville division, is a new departure for the Pennsylvania -people and will be very encouraging to other men on the lines. Heretofore only engineers of maintenance of way have been selected for promotion to division superintendents. William S. Rallwin who. for some years, was general passenger agent of the Monon. retiring on account of ill health, has about recovered his health and activity, and will on the first of rext month begin publishing. In Ruffalo. X. Y., an official railway guide for all the railway and steamship lines centering at Ruffalo. The enterprise is, in some measure, a new departure, and the outcome will be watched with interest. XV. S. Baldwin Is a brother of I. D. Raldwln, general agent of the Monon and the C, H. & D. at this point. THE COl'ItT It E CO It D. Superior Court. Room 1 James M. -Winters. Judge. Maria Wooldrldge vs. Charles Wooldrldge; divorce.

A Ileudlx Explosion. PETERSBURG. Va., April 7. An explosion of powder hi the fireworks factory of Romalne Rrothers, in this city, this afternoon, resulted in the death of eleven persons and injury to others. Just prior to the explosion, Charles N. Romalne, the senior member of the firm; John Rland, the senior member of the tobacco manufacturing firm of Rland Rrothers &. Wright; Capt. James Tosh, a prominent citizen, and Charles Rland, of the firm of Rland Rrothers, were engaged in conversation in the office of the fireworks factory. Fire was discovered in the works about 3 o'clock, and these gentlemen went to the assistance of the employes and tried to extinguish. It by throwing buckets of water on it. An alarm had been turned in and. Just as Chief Engineer Farley, of the department, drove into the yard, an explosion occurred. About fifteen minutes later there was a second explosion. These explosions were distinctly heard over a mile. John Bland and Charles Romalne were killed instantly and their bodies horribly mangled. Roth were members of the City Council. Chief Engineer Farley was fatally Injured. Capt. Tosh's body was burned almost beyond recognition. Few in the factory, at the time of the second explosion escaped death or injury. The dead are: CHARLES N. ROMAINE. CAPT. JAMES L. TOSH. JOHN R. ISLAND. JAMES ROWLAND. ROBERT ROWLAND. WILLIAM TRAYLOIt. EDWARD TRAYLOIt. JAMES BRYANT. QUINCY LI VESA Y. JAMES V. PERKINS. THOMAS WOODFOLK, colored. The wounded are: Edward Farley, Edward Grave, William Parker, Charles Wells. Charles Short, Walter Nunally, Estlth Beasley, Samuel E. Druey (colored), Charles Emory. The fire originated in that part of the works where powder for whistle bombs was made. The flames were quickly communicated to the other building used for the manufacture of fireworks, and there were frequent small explosions. It was reported that there was a large quantity of powder stored exactly "where no one appears to know In these buildings, and kept the crowd from venturing too near the fire. On the opposite side of the street from the fireworks buildings, all of which were frame structures, was the trunk factory of Messrs. Romalne Rrothers, and close by were the large brick tobacco factory of Bland Bros. & Wright and an old whisky distillery now unused. All these buildings, with the stock and machinery, were burned to the ground, as also a large quantity of lumber. There were three explosions. Tho first was a small affair. As soon as it occurred Messrs. Romalne, Bland and Tosh rushed Into the drying room, and there the second and fatal explosion occurred, and they were killed. A number of girls employed in the fireworks factory escaped Just before the second explosion. A public meeting will be held to-morrow at the academy, at the call of Mayor Collier. Madeline Pollitrtl tin Actress. CINCINNATI, O., ApMl 7 Miss Pollard is an actress equal to Clara Morris or Sarah Bernhardt," said Hon. Benjamin Butterworth to-day. "She can simulate any passion or emotion, and it is my opinion that tftz i3 but the prelude to her going on the stage. I cannot but think that that was one of her reasons for bringing the suit, and that It was brought in the political and social capital for the theatrical and dramatic effect It would have upon the public mind. There was no excuse on earth for bringing this suit. It is worse than a foul, pestilence-breeding contagion. Far better it had been if yellow fever had been spread broadcast over the land and had entered every home in the countrv than this mass of filth, whose pollution "is felt at every fireside. Had I been called into the case three days sooner It would not have been tried If my counsel could have prevented. And had 1 been a judge on the bench I would never have let it come to trial. "There is no condoning of Mr. Breckinridge. I will not do It. He does not want it. I believe he would discharge me from the case if I did offer anything in extenuation. He has done wrong. She has done wrong, and especially has she done wrong in bringing this suit. I do not think this case will destroy Breckinridge's usefulness, lie will stand for re-election. Miss Pollard Is the most remarkable witness I ever saw, or ever heard of, or ever read of. She has her case thoroughly in hand; every detail of it. I never saw anything like the tact and art of this woman. If there is a time when she has not a ready answer she will make a plea for sympathy to gain time, and all the time her mind Is active to coin some nice phrase or apt one In which to reply. You remember when she pleaded that I was hard on her. That was to gain time to think in a critical moment. She has nothing to gain if she wins her suit, where she could have had everything her own way had she so willed. She could have gone anywhere or done anything, and a word from her would have been law with Rreckinridge. She could have had what she wanted. If Breckinridge loses he will move for a new trial; failing In that, he will appeal." Mr. Butterworth delivered a lecture here to-night. Warn In ir to tlu CoxeyIte. WASHINGTON, April 7. The advance guard of the army of the unemployed, though not of the Coxey aggregation, reached Washington after 7 o'clock this evening. It came in the fonn of forty-one men packed In a single txx car on the Baltimore & Ohio road. Notice of the probable arrival of these men had reached Major Moore during the day, and he had prepared for them at a small freight and passer.ger station near the city limits, where orders had leen given to stop the train carrying the "industrials." The visitors had been informed that they were to be warmly welcomed, ar.d they made no resistance whatever, but crowded willingly into the patrol wagons. The men were divided among five precinct stations, where they were put four or live in a cell to wait for their formal disposition at court Monday morning. A few combs, several pieces of soap, a number of small knives and two or three razors were found on the men. One man had 7." cents In his ickets. No other sign of financial atliuence was discovered. They bore no ill wiil against the authorities, and rather seemed pleased at being supplied with lodging and food. They disclaimed being In any way connected with Coxey or his army, claiming to be merely a body of workmen out of work, whose homes were mostly in the East. They said they had banded together ior the sake of getting East, near their homes. They had started as a body at St. Louis, and spoke with pride of the I fact tnat tney tini come all the wav by rail. They had merely asked for transporI tation from the railroads, and had been given it. They had been fed by sympathizers along the route, had seldom gone hungry and had really had a fairly easy time. They left Cincinnati Wednesday night in the -box car from which they disembarked into the .arms of the police this evening. Nearly half of the men claimed to have started from Texas, banding together at San Antonio aUut March 2). Captain Primrose, who was the leader, had organized the band there. They disclaimed any connection with General Frey. A IlrltUli Government "Fake." NEW YORK, April 7. The cablegram announcing the death of Major Le Caron, alias Reach, the English informer, who testified at the Parnell commission 'as to the working of the Irish revolutionary' brotherhood, was received In Irish circles with an amount of incredulity, which was accntuatM when to-day's dispatch from London conveyed the statement that t celebrated spy, so far from being dead, was on his way. under the supervision and protection of Scotland Yard detectives, to one of England's distant colonies to avoid being murdered by order of the Fenian or

ganization. A later cablegram to the effect that a body said to be that of Ie Caron was to-day buried in Norwood Cemetery, London, and the registrar general of deaths ridiculed the idea of Le Caron being alive. Instead of convincing the Irishmen of advanced opinions that Le Caron had gone to his long home, has confirmed them in the opinion that the death and burial of Le Caron is a British government "fake." designed to divert attention from him while spiriting him off to some other country or aain starting him in a second career of duplicity, either in America or Irelar.d, where he Is almost completely unknown. A number of Irish Xationalists Interviewed to-day were unanimously of the opinion that Le Caron Is still on earth. The concensus seems to be that if he Is not dead he ought to be, and if he is alive he ought to be dead. Methodist Eplaeopiil Conference. BLUFFTON. Ind., April 7. The conference devotional exercises this morning were conducted by II E. Xeal. At 9 o'clock Bishop Goodsell took the chair, and the minutes of yesterday were read and approved. The stewards reported, anddhe report Was adopted. The funds will pay about 5-' per cent. The conference adopted the distribution of benevolence as recommended by the mission secretaries.

The class of the third year was called and continued. At the reception given by Hon. Hugh Dougherty, last night, in honor of Bishop Goodsell, it is estimated over one thousand persons shook hands with the Bishop, and about four hundred partook of the refreshments. The Woman s Foreign Missionary Society held ita anniversary this afternoon, and the temperance meeting was held to-night, addressed by Drs. A. E. Makin and H. A. Gobln, of DePauw UnJ-versitv.

i Dundy on Jcnklnn't Decision. OMAHA, Neb., April 7. "I admire Judge Jenkins for his sterling ability as a jurist, for his consistency and his excellent judgment," said Judga Dundy, of tne United States District Court, to a reporter to-day, when asked his opinion of Jud.vje Jenkins's order. "The strike clause of his injunction order is but slightly modiiiel. A great deal deponds upon the interpretation of the word 'strike.' If It means for the men to resort to violent methods and destroy property or interfere with the operations of business, then they should be restrained from striking and thus avert the sequel that would otherwise follow. If it means simply a peaceable, unorganized withdrawal from a service, or he right to quit on proper notice, that Is nifurent. Judge Caldwell's idea is to give them their own choice in this matter, and if they raise trouble punish them accordingly. Judge Jenkins's idea Is more of a judicial warning than a decision to muzzle the men. If they investigate Jud,?e Jenkins's they will find that he has acted in accordance with the dictates of Ids own conscience and his superior knowledge of law." Itlchard Winter Dead. ATLAXTIC CITY'. X. J., April 7.-Richard Wister, the last of the eccentric millionaire Wlster brothers, of Philadelphia, who have made their home In this city for several years-, died at 7:30 this evening of a broken heart. Ever since the death of his brother Lewis, which, occurred In the city a few weeks ago, he had grieved incessantly and had refused to. touch food. The Wisters had a faithful housekeeper, Mary Mclntyre, who Is said to have been left Richard's sole heir. If this be true she Is undoubtedly a "millionairess." On the other hand. It is asserted that Mr. Wister only left her a few thousand as a reward for her long service. The Wisters In Philadelphia were what the Vanderbllts nre In New York. They were rich and did not work. The direct heirs are Richard and Charles, brothers. Although not twins, they were so much alike that no one could dectect the difference. It is estimated that their wealth is little short of ?10,(KW,000. Trmnp untl u Unity. TORRE HAUTE, Ind., April 7. A tramp who was stealing a ride on the west-bound Vandalla limited mail train that left here at 9 o'clock last night had for a fellowpassenger on the baggage car platform a week-old babe. He rode forty miles at the rate of sixty miles an hour with the crying Infant before he had an opportunity to turn the child over to the trainmen. The tramp saw a man place a basket on the car platform Just as the train was leaving the depot here, and thought it was a fellow bum, who, after depositing his basket, would himself Jump aboard. Instead he ran away. Soon the train was racing across the Illinois line, when the tramp heard the cry of a baby in the basket. The baggage car door was barred and the tramp could not make the men Inside hear his pounding on the door. The waif was turned over to the authorities at Elliingham. A Poor Counterfeit. WASHINGTON, April 7.-The officers of the secret service, Treasury Department, have discovered a new counterfeit- of the twenty-dollar United States note, series of 1SS3. check letter C, signed by W.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The condition of the carpenters last fall was deplorable. Rosses began to cut prices, claiming that th?y had to figure so closely on account of the hard timos. There was an agreement with the men to cut wages Z cnts an hour until April 1, the old rate of 30 cents to be restored on April 1. The bosses did not stop at that cut. They tan their charity into the hands of the Commercial Club, to which all the bosses lwloriiT, and at this stage of the game the secretary of the lxjsses wrote us that the association had disbanded. This virtually broke their contract with us, and tne Commercial Club furnished men to them and others at 121 cents an hour. We know of several that went to the Commercial CIn.b to get men on jobs at 12'i cents an hour. The Commercial Club knocked the bottom out of all small jobs. Of course, the bosses now say. "Why don't you lie Idle six J months in the year, anil we will give you ; 1.1 to 20 cents an hour for the other six i months, and If this don't ki-p you the other six months the Commercial Club will take up a collection for you." Our men an stout and robust and In good lighting trim. They are tolng to stay with the I strike to the last, for snowballs are gon-, I the grevns have come, and we can live on i what our forefathers lived on while they I fought and lost their llvts. I.
