THE EEL RIVER ROAD

People of Loransport Think It Will Now Benefit that City. Appeal to Be Taken from the Decision Cutting the Line Off the Wabash System General Railway Sews. Citizens of Loganspcrt are much elated over the turn matters have taken In the litigation in the case ot the Eel River division of the Wabash. The recent decision, they fay, is of great importance to Logansport, they being of the opinion that, operated separately, it would be a source of great benefit to that city. Railroad men differ as to this, and cahnot see how it will ' pay operating expenses when cut loose from the Wabash. The Logansport Pharos says: "The tidings were most welcome to our readers. The Eel River road has occupied the attention of the public for a long time, and every citizen is anxious that the Wabash be compelled to let go the property, that the city may realize some benefit from it. The present action was a cult brought by Prosecutor Kistler for the State petitioning the court to set aside the lease under which the Wabash operates the Eel River division, claiming that such operation was not legal, ami for the appointment of a receiver for the Eel River company. The hearing was set for yesterday, and the Logansport attorneys went to Rochester prepared for a hard legal battle. The counsel for the corporation waived a Jury trial and stood upon their answers to the complaint. The complaint charged that the Eel River company had no agents, director cr officer in the State of Indiana upon whom court service could be made, that It existed solely for the purpose of collecting rent from the Wabash, and had virtually abandoned that portion of its property between Chili and Logansport. The court was petitioned to set aside the lease to the Wabash railroad, annul the charter and apjoint a receiver to wind up the affairs of the company. The judge decided for the plaintiff and the terms or the judgment, together with the appointment of a receiver, will be announced on May 18. Tho defendants will appeal to the Supreme Court, and a considerable time, perhaps three or four years, may elapse before the matter is finally settled." "Western Rates. The Western Passenger Association lines irere 4n session at Chicago yesterday, considering the proposition recently made by the Burlington to run home - seekers - excursions to points in the West and Southwest at one fare for the round trip. No conclusion was reached. The Western lines are In high feather over the action of the trunk lines in New York in accepting the reduced rates made by them on emigrant traffic to the Pacific coast. The Southern Pacific again to-day notified the Western lines that It could, under no circumstances, accept the rates and that it had so notified the Interstate-commerce Commission, but notwithstand all this the Western lines will continue to hold the rates in effect. They have come to the conclusion that they can no longer rely on the Union Pacific In keeping up the rates, and propose to proceed about their own business and ignora that line as far as they possibly can. Peraonnl, Loenl find General Xotea. Albert S. White, general freight agent of the Rig Four, is in Chicago. J. M. Shields has been appointed agent of the Rig Four at Weisburg. vice H. F.

Lord, vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio lines, is resting a few days at Toledo, Improving the time by visiting his iged father. . B. O. Graham, a well-known Panhandle conductor, will be burled at Rurnetsvlll?, Ind., to-day. He died at the home of his parents on Tuesday. In March there were handled: for Industries located on the line of the Relt road E witches 3,0o7 cars, against 4,212 In March, IS33; decrease this year. 1,2X cars. Thomas McMIIIin, the detective, who died yesterday, was well known in railway circles, having: been in the employ of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road for some years. The Columbus & Hocking Valley, the Wheeling & Lake Erie, and, in fact, all the Ohio coal roads, are taking off trains to reduce expenses owing to the miners' etrike. The Bass works, at Fort Wayne, whicn formerly did a good deal of work in the rebuilding and repairing of locomotives for the smaller roads, will resume this work on limited scale. The Western lines have given notice to all connecting lines interested that on and after May 10 they will not participate in the reduction of terminal or arbitrary rates proposed by the Eastern lines. Spotters have been on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and as a result a number of conductors on the main line and branches have been dismissed. Report has it that there Is to be a general overhauling of conductors on that system. The chairman of the Western Passenger Association has given the Wabash and other roads interested authority to make the same rate from the Missouri river to Eugene and Albany. Ore., which the Chicago & Alton jlTers JCo.50 for the round trip. A meeting of the stockholders of the St. Louis. Alton & Terre Haute has been called Tor June 26, in St. Louis, to take action authorizing a mortgage to secure the payment of a debt of the company amounting to 12,500,000 and for other purposes, and the Issue thereunder of $2,5OO,0uO of live-percent thirty-year bonds. C. R. Ryan, Western general passenger gent of the Chesapeake & Ohio, was in the city yesterday for a fev hours. He ' states that no move tlte passenger department has made has phown more gratifying results than the putting on of a line of sleeping cars betwesn St. Louis and Wash ington, via Indianapolis. In March there arrived and departed at the Union Station 3.4S6 trains, against In March, iH'Ji. The trains In March. ISM, averaged seven and one-half cars; ihls year but six cars. In March, last year, the world's fair travel increased the number of cars per train, and local trains hauled mere additional coaches than this year. A special train left Chicago Monday, at 10 a. m., over the Santa Fe, and reached Albuquerque at a. m. Tuesday. The average speed the entire distance was fortyrive miles an hour. In western Kansas and eastern Colorado the train made spurts of fifty-eight miles an hour. It is sail to be the fastest run ever made over this road. Chief Engineer Klttredg?. of the F.!g" Four, says he U well informed as to the, physical condition of a majority of the roads In this country, and he does not believe that there are many stretches of track of 2S2 miles, the length of the St. Louis division of the Rig Four, which is a 4 uniformly good, smoother or more evenly ballasted. Receiver Felton, of the Queen & Crescent, states that indications are that there will be no trouble with the trainmen over the reduction in wages which goes Into effect next Tuesday. Grand Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Is reported to be" in Cincinnati, and to have held a secret conference with the grievance committee of the engineers to ascertain their feelings about the matter. Judge Jenkins has appointed Alfred L. Carey, of Milwaukee, master to Investigate the Rocky Fork. Manitoba and Chicago & Northern Pacific transaction in order to determine whether receiver Oakes was guilty of mismanagement, as Is charged by certain stockholders. Judge Jenkins Axed May 8 as the day on which he will hear arguments on the demurrer to the complaint in the Chicago & Northern Pacific foreclosure suit. Dr. W. L. Breyfogle, formerly president ef the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago. Is in financial trouble. The New Albany Banking Company on Wednesday sent him legal notice that unless he promptly met the notes he has given, amounting to $14t,0". the banking company will at once institute suit and foreclose the mortgage given to secure the notes. It is stated that hU Redford Relt road and stone quarry venture have crippled him financially. Officials of the Rock Island, Rurlington and Northwestern deny that they have formed a Mind pool to share the damages accruing from the march of Kelly's commonweal army. They say they have nsvex thought of such a thing, and that then would be no tense In such a movement on their part, as the county In which th damage occurs is and will be held "resuonslhle for whatever loss the roads may suffer through any neglect of the authorities to preserve the peace. Now that the Pennsylvania ha made the run with a special train as a fpeed test from New York to Chicago fci eighteen hours, the New York Central and Iik Shore have under consideration pvting on a regular train to cover the distvice in seventeen hours. The roads are Jout tonally matched as to ability to attain Nigh

speed with trains. The Pennsylvania, while

having sixty miles the shortest line, has divisions which have steep grades to overcome, which the Vanderbllt lines do not have. Purdue University, at Lafayette, is securing reputation through Its being an educator In the construction and operating of locomotives; so much so that the Baldwin locomotive works has signified the inten tion of presenting th? university with the I 1 : - .M .W irarae aim running gear ui one ul best make of engines. This, with the fullfledged locomotive Schenectady, rebuilt, wUl greatly enhanc? this department of the university as an educator in mechanical appliances, so far as locomotives are concerned. A gentleman in position to know the feelings of the trainmen on the Big Four system states that at no time in the last five years have matters been moving along as smoothly, and all reports of the men holding meetings to discuss the wage question or any other grievances are without the least foundation. He said that, of eourre, the men would like to have their old scale of wages restored, but have too much goad sense to agitate the question now, as' they can for themselves see the struggle the roads of the country are having to keep their heads above water until business improves and earnings foot up more favorably. Suit has been filed In the federal court at Iuisvllle by the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company against the Illinois Central Railroad Company to have the contract with the Blinols Central in the purchase of the Huntington lines enforced. The trouble U mainly over the joint lcae of the 121 miles of the Chesapeake. Ohio & Southwestern between Fulton, Ky.. and Memphis. It is possible the Illinois Central may operate the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern as a competing line. The State's attorneys are confident they can prevent the Louisville & Nashville completing the purchase, even if it adjusts the differences with the Illinois Central. In financial circles a belief prevails that a deal is on by which the Louisville & Nashville will secure control of the Evansvllle & Terre Haute, much after the same manner that the Cincinnati, Hamilton fc Dayton secured control of the Queen & Crescent. The opinion prevails that the idea of many years past that the dividing point of north-and-south roads should be the Ohio river is becoming obliterated. The report that the Louisville A: Nashville was to secure control of the Evansville & Terre Haute would seem more probable had the Chicago & Eastern Illinois been included; without that lin? the Evansville & Terre Haute would be less valuable as an acquisition to the L. & N. people. HOG ALL THE PK0FITS Complaint of the Jobbers Against Sugar Manufacturers. Wholesale Grocers Meet Hero to Arrange for Another Fight on tho Sugar Trust A meeting of wholesale grocers was held yesterday afternoon and hut night in Room 33, When Block, for the consideration of means of relief from certain burdens im posed by manufacturers. The number of grocers present from central and southern Indiana was thirty-seven. Among those present were Messrs. Alex. Stuart, John W. Flach, Charles H. Gogreve, Robert J. Smith and John A. Krels, of Cincinnati. The call for the meeting sprung from the Wholesale Grocers' Association. B. 11. McCune, of McCune, Malott & Co., presided. The complaints grew out of the practice. as the Jobbers allege, of the manufacturers hogging the margin of profits between the raw material and the consumer. The former say that the practlca has developed, one article at a time, leaving neither the Jobber nor the retailer a fair compensation, until the burden has become too heavy to be borne much longer. Thev realize that. while all recognize the evil of the prac tice. It Is Of no use for a slngl firm to protest, and only by united action can a fair division of profits be forced from the manufacturers. Nothing is allowed to be maae puDiic as yet as to the artlclP3 on wnlch there ii to be action, and members say that as yet no agreement has been reached. The trouble lies in the. difficulty or reining upon wnat articles the onslaught on the manufacturers shall be made. The meeting will continue over to-day. It is acknowledged that the recent effort to fight the Sugar Trust was a failure, and the prospects for success in this, while promising in the end, are not as brilliant Just now as the jobbers would wish. This Is the first meeting held, but so onerous is the burden which brings about the conference that no effort Is to be spared until sometning 13 accomplished. h-:i:onal and society.

RUNS WERE ABUNDANT

Grand Ilapids Secured a Large Majority of Them. Indianapolis Badly Defeated In a Long-JUrawn-Out Game Sionx City and Toledo Win League Scores. The Indianapolis players crowded a sur prising amount of bad playing into- yesterday's game, which they lost by a one sided score.A Gayle was in the box, and had no speed and poor control of the ball. He seemed unable to watch first base with any success, something a left-handed pitcher should be able to do effectively at all times, and the balls came floating up to the plate big as balloons for Grand Rapids. His support, with few exceptions, was miserable, McTarnmany looming up with eight catches, one of them, a hard drive from Carroll's bat in the seventh inning, being of the brilliant order. Most all of the boys had an off day, Deveney piling up five errors at short and seeming unable to hold on to anything. They batted well enough to win any ordinary game, earning seven of their eight runs by the cleanest sort of hitting. Their only unearned run was McTammany's in the opening inning, and three bases of that were earned. Mack getting to first on balls and being batted around. Leldy, Deveney. Graham and Plock all touched pitcher Parker up in lively style, but it didn't appear to be the Hooslers' day to win. With Grand Rapids runs were as plenty as candidates at Wednesday's convention, and the Michigan men took no chances, but stacked them up as high as possible to avoid any danger of Indianapolis catch ing up. Besides taking advantage of the round dozen saffron-hued errors made by the home team and hitting the ball very hard, the visitors put up an almost flaw less game in the field, a dropped fly by Pinckney in the second Inning being their only mistake, and that cost nothing. Parker's support saved him very largely, though he pitched fair ball. Under the ad verse conditions of bad support he would be quite likely to go to pieces. He has a good drop, which he worked to some effect, notaJMy in the last three Innings. Wheelock's work at short was especially fine, and Wright had a great catch in the fourth inning of a long drive by Leidy which looked good for three bases. Wright, Carroll and Caruthers found Gayle espe cially to their liking and hammered away at the slow balls he sent up in a way that sent a chill along the spinal column of every "rooter" for the Hoosiers. The first time Caruthers came to bat he struck out. and Gayle thought he was easy, but a home run. a tripla and two singles convinced the pitcher that he was mistaken in his early estimate. In only one inning tiie eighthdid the home team succeed in preventipg Grand Rapids from scoring, and the feat was accorded a round of applause by the crowd, tor three or four innings the interest did not languish, but after that it was evident Gayla had nothing with which to fool the men from the north, and that Indianapolis was de termined to play bad ball. The crowd, how ever, stuck It out with a stoicism worthy a better cause, ready, at the slightest provocation, to cheer the boys on in any attempt to close the ever-widening gap in the score. Twelve hundred people were made un comfortable within three minutes after umpire Mitchell had called play because Gayle sent Wheelock to first on balls and floated one up to big "Hasty" Wright, the manager and captain, which he drove away out to right center for a home run. George went out from Graham to Plock, but Carroll hit to left center for three bases and scored on Leldy's fumble of the throw-in. Pinckney reached first on Graham's overthrow of his grounder and Caruthers and Watkins struck out. When McTarnmany wa3 given a base on balls in the last half and Leidy hit a beauty to center for three bases the crowd felt somewhat relieved, and ex pressed Itself noisily to that effect. These demonstrations were continued when Gray hit safe and Graham bunted and beat the ball to first. A sacrifice by Mills and De veney's single enabled Indianapolis to chalk up tour runs and take a lead. Yvestlake fouled out and Gayle forced Deveney' at second by hitting to Carroll. The Michiganders tied the score In the second on Wheelock s life, a steal and Wright's sin gle, and took a lead in the third on singles by Carroll and Caruthers, two stolen bases. Mills s fumble of Pinckney s grounder and Westlake's throw which nobody seemed to be on hand to take at second. All this resulted in two runs, and three more were added in- the fourth on singles by Wright and George, a base on balls, two bad errors by Deveney and Pinckney s long fly. Gayle s single. Flock s three-bagger to the left-field fence and McTammany's sacrifice earned two in the Indianapolis half of the fourth, while singles by Graham and Mills and a double by Dsveney added another In the fifth. The eighth and last run of the home team was scored in the sixth on Mc Tammany's life, Leidy's single, which ad vanced Mac to third, and Gray s sacrifice. Mac had forced Plock out at second after the lattsr's pretty single to left. A base on balls, a single, which Ieidy allowed to get by him, and a rumble by Deveney let In two more Grand uaplds runs In the fifth, Successive singles by Carroll, Caruthers and Pinckney, two errors by Daveney, a wide throw by uestlake and a safe hit bv Wheelock added four runs In the sixth. while, with two out in the seventh. Ca ruthers hit to the center-fisld fence for a home run. Not content with this. Wheelock and right waited for bases on balls in the ninth ami Oeorge gcored the former on his single. Then Caruthers came to the front again, this time with a three-bagger to rmnt, sending George around. This end ed . the run getting. Leldy and Mills hit safe in the last half, but could not get around, bcore: Indianapaolls. A.B. U. II. O. A.

THE CHARTER UPHELD Appellate Court Tasses on an Im- . V, portant Case. A Decision for Phillips in His Street Assessment Lieu Suit Against Spades Other Courts. fudge Gavin, of the Appellate Court, yesterday handed down an opinion affirming the decision of the Marion Superior Court In the case of M. H. Spades et al. vs. P. E. rhillips. The appellee brought suit to enforce the lien of a street assessment under the provisions of the Indianapolis city charter Judge Gavin held that It is no more necessary In such an action to allege the regular creation and qualification of its members than to require allegations concerning the regularity of the selection and organization of a city council, i:. suits wherein their acts or ordinances are involved. "It is true," the opinion states, "Section 73 provides that notice of resolution shall be the same as. that required for condemnation proceedings, but we are unable to find any statute making applicable to the street improvement proceedings the notice of assessment specified for condemnation proceedings regarded as in any manner insufficient." As to the ground of objection argued that the complaint was bad for want of an aver ment that no improvement conforming to the general plan had already been made, the court held that whatever benefit appellant might derive in this action could be available only by way of defense, and that it was not incumbent on the appellee to negative this contingency In his complaint. None of the objections presented were held to be well taken. Circuit nnd. Superior Juries. The following juries for the Circuit and Superior Courts were drawn by Clerk Wilson yesterday: Room 1 I. X.
