IN SCALPERS' HANDS

Chicago nnoicims said to in: srrI'LIKD WITH G. A. II. TICKETS. Golngr Coupon Clipped Off I. K. & Xi to lie Whipped Into ihr C. Si a O. 11. PaasetiKrr Amioctntlon. " Some excitment existed at Chicago yesterday la passenger circles over alleged deals with brokers which some of the roads are accused of making in connection "with, Grand Army tickets. The sale of tne3e tickets will begin Saturday. The restrictions which were at fir?t adopted to prevent scalping: have all been removed. Tfce tickets are not even of the signature form. They are good for bearer, and the return fort ions may be used any day between the opening" of the encampment and Sept. 26. the final limit of the tickets. It ta claimed that blocks of the return portions of these tickets, with the going coupons clipped off, have been sold ta Chicago brokers. They read to all points all over the West and Southwest, and their unlimited sale will very materially lntvfere with the regular rates. Shrewdness oC Pennsylvania O Klein I a. A Journal representative yesterday met a general freight agent located at Chicago and connected with a competing line of the Pennsylvania Company. Said he: "In the recent strike the Pennsylvania people outeeer ;d U3 all. At the very . onet of the Debs strike they selected two clashes vt their business which they decided to run At all hazards, letting other business take care of Itself until the strike subsided. The two selected were the ssenger trafBc and that of the stockyards and dressed meat establishments, and at Chicago their passenger trains ran with greater regularity than those of any ether road; in fact, n but one day were their passenger trains" much delayed. They did not wait for the stockyards company to man Its engines with new crews, but with Pennsylvania engines ran right into the yards and took out cattle and dressed meats by the tralnload. To do this was expensive business, as the trains must be well protected, but they did Jt, and when other roads wertf paralyzed by ttie strike they were hauling long trains of live stock and dressed meuts. despite the strikers und their sympathizers, and now they are reaping their reward, as everv live stock. dressed meat asid provision shipper has a warm side for the Pennsylvania, which made such a gallant tight, and they feel like turning all the business possible to the Pennsylvania lines. If you don't believe this, try and get sone business from such shippers, and you will be miprised over the hold the Pennsylvania has on them. I fear It win be some time before we competitors will be able to overcome this feeling." Transcontinental Lines. Although no definite proposition was forxnaily adopted or discussed at Chicago, yesterday, by the transcontinental lines, a much more hopeful feeling existed when the session broke up than had been the case at any time previously since the conference began. The opinion was expressed at the close of to-day's meeting by some who have hitherto regarded the organization of an association as impracticable at this time that one would be ultimately formed. There appears to be a gradual drawing of the lines together on the, points that have divided them. Individual opinions are not held to with the same tenacity that characterized the proceedings at the beginning of the discussions. There seems to be an Increasing disposition to make concessions with the view of overcoming the objections of opponents. The conference will resume Its deliberations again to-morrow morning. A change is proposed in the transcontinental rate sheets whereby the rate to San Francisco going via Portland and all-rail routes, returning via the direct routes, through any Missouri river gateway through which a direct route applies from selling station, or going via Missouri river and direct routes and returning via Portland, shall be $15 higher than the San FranCisco rate. The same principle is proposed on business to Ran Francisco going via New Whatcom, Seattle, Tacoma or Victoria, and hence by rail or steamer, returning via direct routes through any Missouri river gateway, or the reverse. Chief Cnnse of HiiUrond Accidents. George iLoblnson, who has had several years of experience in train service, says lie Is prepared to prove that a great majority of the accidents which happen in train service are caused by employes who are unfitted for duty by loss of sleep. Mr. Robinson rays that on several of the large railway sj stems where the train and engine crew are sJlowed to make all the mileage they can they are so greedy and eager to orowj in as many miles as possible during the' month that nearly all the Bleep they get Is stolen while on duty. The other day, while coming over the Santa Fe from Kansas City, I was conversing with an employe on the train, and he showed me the pot where enstneer Humphrey lost his life In a collision between two passenger trains recently. He oM me that the engineer who lost his life, along with a large majority of engineers cn that system, regularly made from forty to fifty days per, month, and It was a well-known fact that thae men did the greater part of their sleeping while on duty. The traveling public should be slow to risk their lves on the trains of any railway company which does not Insist thai Its employes take a certain quantity of rest. Fancy the practice of allowInjr men to crowd In forty or fifty days In 'our weeks. Until that Is stopped accidents are sure to happen. Lnoraiou llntlwny LoiNm, 3fce last issue of the Financial Chronicle contains a lengthy article from ,whlch ons can get some idea of the intensity of the depressing influences under which transportation business suffered the first tlx months of ISOt While the losses In earnings have been distributed all over the country, a few of the large systems have sustained phenomenal decreases.

. K. A W. to ,,Je Whipped. Ohio river lines settled up all their differences In regard to rate demoralizations at a meeting of the Chicago and Ohio Itiver Association yesterday. If the promises made are kept all rates will hereafter be firmly maintained and no road will In future any thing contrary to the agreement. This will have no bearing whatever on the fight being made against the Lake Erie a Western. That is a case of the association against an outside road, and the outsider 1k to bo whipped until it consents to become a member. Will Lone Ills Head. Chairman V. It. Caldwell, of the Western Passenger Association, has come .out at the Ug end of the horn In hl3 contention with the tralHc manager of the Macon & Northern road over the sale of tickets of that road Issued by Kansas City scalpers. N. K. ilrrls. rt-ceiver of the road, is now giving his personal attention to the matter, and has guaranteed the chairman that the oilicial of his road found guilty of the manipulations complained of will lose his position. " - Coal Itntei to lie Maintained. Representatives of eoft coal roads had' a meeting at Chicago yesterday to . consider the rate situation. The rates on soft coal, like all other rates, has b?en badly demoralized of lute, and the object of the meeting was to firm things up and have tariff rates maintained.

Mr. Dick ranks as the youngest man holding as responsible a railroad position. Carl Howe, who has Deen appointed traveling freight agent of the Michigan Central, two years ago was a clerk In the company's office at Michigan City. About a month ago he was placed in the general olllce. and displayed so much ability that he received the above promotion. The new cars tha Pullman Company Is building will have an upper berth high enough to permit the occupant of the lower bvrth to sit on the edge of the berth with head erect without bumping It. T.

The demands for free delivery are beginning to pour in from all directions. The residents of West Indianapolis want the free delivery extended In that suburb. The residents of Hai'ghviIIe ala desire free delivery, but so long as they have a portmaster there will probably not get It. Twenty additional cirrlrrs haw bfen askel for. and If all of them arc? allowed It will enable the rostr.'ater to shorten some of the down-town districts which are now too large.

M011E TAX CASE TALK

CO.TI.MATIO OF AnGlMEXTS THK IXIOX KAILWAY SLIT. IN AHorney-fienernl Warms I'p Over the Clin rue of Fraudulent Testimony Tha L., 13. Si St. L. Sued Aguln. The argument in the Union railway tax case was continued yesterday morning in the Supreme Court room at the Statehouse. Attorney-general Green Smith was still presenting the State's side of the case. He began with a point upon the testimony before the State Hoard of Tax Commissioners by P. J. Van Vorhis, as attorney for Marlon county. This was at the session of 1S31. The company claims that the hearing of testimony from Van Vorhis was fraudulent, in that it gave a false valuation to the property of the company. The testimony of Van Vorhis at that time was that the property of the company was worth $3,O0O,0CO. The Attorney-general eald the company had franchises and privileges of a much higher value than this, and the fact that these were not tangible property did not exempt them from taxation. At the time the assessment was made, it was shown by current reports that the company received $3,000 a day for hauling cars over its tracks. Mr. Smith said be thought the board had a right to call upon Van Vorhi3 to testify as to the value of the property. The Attorney-general then turned his .attention to the charge; of fraud. He said the fact that the assess ment was too high, if It was, did not con stitute fraud; a mistake did not neces sarily Imply fraud. Then he became dra matic, and, leaning over the table, said if he were 1 permitted he could show that there had been fraud In the assessment of railroads for several years past, and that the railroads had resorted to all manner of subterfuges in their dealings with officials. "When any interested person goes before a board or taxation ana maKes a aise statement it Is fraud," interrupted Mr. Harris.1 Mr. Smith Rut the statements of Mr. Van Vorhis were made upon the known earnings of the company. Mr. Smith, continuing, eald it was charged that the Governor and highest officials of the State were guilty of fraud in the assessment of one road. S. O. Pickens occupied most of the after noon with an argument for the company. The hearing will continue to-day. moui: TltOl ltLi: FOlt IT. LonlvlIls Kvnnnvllle Si St. Louis lliillrond Company Sued Once More. The New York Security and Trust Company entered suit in the federal court yes terday, against the Louisville, Evansvllle & St Louis Consolidated Railroad Com pany, asking, that Its mortgage, dated July 1, 1889, be decreed a Hen upon all that rail road's property; that a receiver be ap pointed pending this suit; that an injunction be issued restraining the railroad company from transferring or selling Its property, and that in case the property doesn't bring the amount of the mortgage . the plaintiff be given a judgment for the bal ance. NOT UNTIL OCTOIJKIl. Winnie Smith's Cnne AVI 11 Not Re Heard Till Then. The Winnie Smith case will probably not be called for trial in the Criminal Court till next "month.

Vice President and General Manager Rarlow, of the Evansvllle & Terre Haute rail way, was before the State Tax Commission yesterday morning, asking a reduction In that body's valuation of his line, which is as follows: On each mile of 1G2.51 miles of main track, !0.00); on each mile of 47.50 miles of sidetrack, $3,500; on rolling stock on 162.51 miles, $5,500 a mile; on Improve ments on the right of way, I4G.523. Mr. Barlow then told the commission that ths operating expenses of the road In the last year were $787,722.10, and the net earn ings were only $487,950.90. The operating ex penses are Gl'-i per cent of the gross Income. In 1S92 the taxes of the Evansvillo & Terre Haute amounted to lHi per cent of its earnings. "When you fixed the assessment,' he continued, "you could not 'have had In mind the physical condition of the Evansvllle & Terre Haute railway. In eleven years we have placed fresh gravel upon only twentyeight miles of road. The stations along the road will not average more than 7Z0 In value. We have more than two huadred wooden structures along the line. Over the principal streams, however, we have been putting iron bridges, which are about all the permanent Improvements we have been muklng. To pay our last dividend of 10 per cent we were compelled to borrow money. "As for the bonds and stocks of the company, their value is not so great as would appear. The sum of $452,000 is due from the Peoria, Decatur & Evansvllle railroad and SM),718.75 from the Louisville, Evansvllle & St. Ixmis railroad. This first debt is not secured except by mere notes. The second is secured by -4 per cent second mortgage bonds. Thus you see that a large part of our assets are eaten up by thess bills receivable. Roth of the roads owing us are practically bankrupt" There 'was no afternoon session of the commission, the members all attending the races. AMUSEMENTS. English Opera House Cleveland's MliiNtrelM. . It Is an attractive programme that Cleveland's Minstrels are giving this season, and a good-sized audience at English's last night enjoyed the performance immensely. The flrst part opens with Charles and Edward Crawford on the ends, and, after regaling the audience .with some good comic songs and jokes, tljese comedians give way to Rilly Emerson and Lew Renedict, both veterans, but still right on top In minstrelsy.Emerson's voice is as sweet as of yore, and, though he may not be quite so nimble, he dances with much of his oldtime grace and charm. He was warmly received, and the stories and songs which followed the entrance upon the scene of these comedians were among the more attractive features of the evening. Time has dealt gently with this famous palr and there wasn't a dull moment while they were on the stage. In fact, there are very few dull moments during the entire per formance. Several new and taking feat ures were introduced, , and the first part was staged in an elaborate style. A novel feature was a series of three beautifully arranged drop curtains, which arose singly and displayed a panoramic scene of the fair grounds at Chicago, and which was followed by a programme of different scenes during the Drotrress of the Pnintn. bian Exposition. Ranks Winter, famous for his wmte wings," sang in his usual graceful style: William Murchv. a. bari. tone with a delightful voice, sang "I Love You in Spite of All." David Eilenberger, basso; George Rrunton, tenor; William Ackley, basso profundo; Harry St. George, baritone, and John J. Nolan, tenor, all rendered some excellent music. Rrunton's "She Was a Soldier's Sweetheart," St. George's "Sweet Marie" and Fred Randell's "Say Au Revolr" were amonjr the vocal gems. The entire first pnrt of the show was the most entertaining heard here for some time. In the Fecond part Thompson and Runnell gave a clever musical sketch, performing upon a variety of Instruments; the Crawfords were a small show In themselves, with their singing, high kicking and acrobatic feats; Lew Renedict spoke on things In general; Hilly Emerson appeared In an original and entertaining act and the Alpha Three gave their mandolin trios, musket exercises, etc. The afterpiece - "Madallne, or the Sugar Tariff Senator's Reception, is very funny and a great take-off on the recent "talky" session. There will be a matinee this afternoon, and the engagement will close with tonight's' performance. I'nrk Thenter Doable Comedy IHH. The- change of attraction at tfie Park yesterday Increased the size of the already large audiences of the week. Two comedies are given at each performance by the Hanleys and their company "A Wild Goose Chase" and "'Squire Hasklns," and both are full of fun. The specialties introduced are very good, especially Fred Rurt's juggling and balancing act. Bob Harrison has some funny blackface sayings and doings, John and Reno Sanders appear in a clever specialty, T. J. McEnery's trick dancing is novel. Alma Ilearn's songs and dances pretty and graceful, and Almee Hanley's club swinging a feature. The same bill will be given to-day and to-morrow. The novelty of a real circus tent on the ste.ge of a theater Is something Indianapolis has not yet experienced. Next week thl3 unique feature will be seen In connection with Sherman and Morisey's comedians, who appear at the matins Monday and all week in "A Jay Circus" and the greatest specialty bill yet offered. There are twenty people in the company, all of them first-class artists In their various lines, among them Mile. Delmore, the greatest serpentine dancer ever brought here. The wrestling pony Major Is another feature. There Is to be a circus street parade Monday morning. Empire Theater. Rice & Barton's Comedians, In their funny musical farce, "McDoodle and Poodle," will be the attraction offered at the Empire next week. The show is said to be an excellent one, even better this season. The management of Madame Yucca, the strong woman at the Empire thls-eek. will offer 3 to any one outliftlng her at the closing performance to-morrow evening. The offer Is open to all. Warrants for Stnte Institutions. The following warrants were Issued on the State treasury yesterday by Auditor Henderson: Central Hospital for Insane August maintenance, $19,007.63; repairs, Jl,Slfi.Sl: clothing. $,7.M.i.

WILL SMELL IT OUT

IICALTII BOAIID WILL STIMULATC GRCC.' SMITH'S SLUMI1EUS, And Keep Him from Detnfr "Woke I'll If Possible Had Odors Not Thought to Come from Klngan's. The letter of A. Green Smith, complaining of the nauseating. smelU that affect hl3 sensitive nose during the night received the consideration of the Board" of Health at Its meeting yesterday morning. There were also two other communications to the board complaining of unpleasant odors emanating from the same locality, somewhere in the southwestern part of the city. One of the other communications was signed by a number of people residing in that part of the city, and one of them by persons residing down town. Neither of them complained of any particular establishment, but desired the board to ascertain the real source of the nauseating odors and have it abated as a nuisance. The complainants think the odor comes from the abattoirs or pork houses. One of them was signed by the following persons: Charles A. Wilson. Louis Rlebold, T. J. Cullen, II. W. Lawrence, A. A. Stubbens, W. H. Pritchard, William M. Hawkins, Charles Muellerschoen. Dr. Jameson said that he had made an examination of KIngan's establishment, in company with Dr. Hays, and knew that It was conducted sanitarily. It was cleanly, and the only odor that could arise from It would be the smeli of meat or rendering lard. These, he said, were not unhealthy. Dr. Hays did not believe the odors came from Kingan's at all, but thought they came from establishments further down the river. The board decided to make a sanitary survey, and ordered the city chemist to make it. He is to examine all establishments from which it Is possible that nauseating odors arise, and is instructed to make analyses wherever he deems it necessary. This survey is to made from the river bridge at Washington street down to and Including .the Sellers farm. He will report the result of his examination at the next meeting of the board, and steps will be taken to prevent the continuance of the nuisance. In the same connection Dr. Earp was Instructed to examine all the abattoirs and the Sellers farm and ascertain if they were responsible for the odors. A report was made to the board that the night soil was not properly disposed of by the dessicating company at the Sellers farm. Sanitary Inspector Shepherd said he had made an Investigation of this complaint, and reported that the company, was not fulfilling its contract He said the night soil was not properly treated, and a great deal of it was emptied Into White rivr.

The fire at Eaglesfield's lumber yard early yesterday morning has caused a renewal of the clamor for an engine house in the northeastern part of the city. The resi dents of that part of the city point to the destruction by this fire as another demonstration of the urgent necessity for build ing an engine house in that vicinity. The nearest company to the Eaglesfield fire was the Nines, and there is no engine at this house. The residents northeast say they need an engine, and if it is not placed there destructive fires are to be expected. Immediately after the members of the Board of Public Safety made their trip, several weeks ago, to inspect the territory to be protected by the erection of new en gine houses, it was announced that they had decided to build one on Jefferson ave nue ana tne other somewhere north of an crteK. mis statement was denied by the members. They said they had not decided to locate a building north, of Fall creek. It was reported in the courthouse basement, yesterday, that the board had long since decided to build the house some where on North Illinois street, probably at tne corner oi Illinois and Twenty-second streets. It was said that th board had sent Chief Webster to view the lot upon wnicn tney contemplated building the house, and that he had made nis report to them upon the advisability of putting the nouse on tnat site. Air. Conner denied this, ami sail tne uoara nad never had Mr. Webster view any lot in this localitv. Mr. Webster said he had been instructed to examine the territory north of Fall creek and report upon the most suitable location for a house. He had made the examination about ten days ago, and made a verbal report to the board to the effect that the house should be located somewhere between Twentieth and Twenty-sec ond street on Illinois street Chief Webster says his instruction were to select the most favorable location for a house in this vicinity, and he was not to report as to whether he thought a house should be built there in preference to northeast.
