AO C II AMiK 'OTr".lSr "SORT IX THE VANDALIA'S OFFICIAL ItOSTER. Compllc-at lnnw in the Trmmfer of Hie I., D. A Y. to the 1. K. W. tienernl nllnar e. The stockholders of the roads composing the Vandalia system held their annual meeting yetserday in Terre Haute. Of the Pennsylvania Company James McCrea, first vice president; J. T. Brooks, second vice president; J. E. Davklson, third vice president, and S. li, Liggett, secretary, were present. For some time past a rumor has been current that William R. McKeen would retire from the presidency of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Kailroad Company, operating the Vandalia lines, at this meeting, but as he recently said to a reporter of the Journal he("had .not reached the point where he proposed to retire from railroading," and that he has not Is evidenced by the following telegram received from Terre Haute laBt evening: "The annual meeting of stockholders of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis, the Terre Haute & Logansport and the Lake Michigan railways, which are the Indiana portions of the great Vandalia system, took place here to-day. Contrary to rumors, there was no change In the directors of any. of the companies nor In the personnel of any of the officers." The old board of directors and officers of tho Terre. Haute & Logansport and the Indiana, & Lake Michigan roads were reelected. The St. Louis, Vandalia & Terre .Haute meeting will be held at Greenville, 111., to-day, and the Terre Haute & Peoria at Decatur, Jan. 16. It, D. A i C'oinplicatlouM. Some days ago the Journal quoted an attorney of some prominence in railroad matters as saying that It need not be a surprise were there some litigation to arise before the sale to the Lake Erie & Western of the Indianapolis, Decatur &. Western was completed, the attorney remarking that it would bs an unusual thing if the Interest which had been wiped out by the moves of the first mortgage bondholders should quietly let the deal be perfected which would end all chance of other than the first mortgage bondholders realizing anything by the sale. That, the attorney had grounds for this remark is made ap- . parent by the moves of Harry Crawford, ttr., who was in the city yesterday to serve" legal notice on It. U. F. Pelrce, who, with R. A. Sands, of New York. Is one of the trustees of. the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western. Mr. Peirce Is also general manager. Mr. Pelrce was in Chicago. It is really- a fight of the second mortgage bondholders to prevent the sale of the I., D. & W. to the L. E. & W. people. Mr. Crawford was not in the city last evening, but will probably return to-day, as Mr. Pelrce is expected home from Chicago this morning. A better selection to fight the legal battle of the econd mortgage bondholders than Mr. Crawford could not well be made, as he Is well Informed as regards the facts In the case as any person they could tind, he having been in close touch with H. H. Hammond In the varicais phases the road has passed through, and well knowing the weak spots in the several changes. It is Haimed that three mortgages against the road, recorded ir Illinois, Jan. 2, 1888, naming the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company of New York and Noble O. Rutler as trustees, were valid at recorded in Edgar, Doustlas, Piatt and Mocon counties. Mr. Crawford Is said to be quite confident that the Lake Erie & Western will not get the road unless It pays oft these mortgages. A Sw Fast Trnlii. The popularity of tho Knickerbocker Express, put on by the Big Four and Vanderbiit lines, between St. Louis and New York, has caused considerable worry on the part of the passenger department of the Vandalia and the Pennsylvania lines, and the Inroads it has made on their through business are such as to force them to take steps to meet this competition. As a consequence, the superintendents of the lines between Indianapolis and Pittsburg and Harry Miller, of the Vandalia, have been called to Columbus to arrange a time schedule for a train to leave St. Louis at 1 p. m.. dally, reach Indianapolis at 7:30 p. m., and -make the run from Indianapolis to New York in twenty-one hours. This is the schedule as outlined to a reporter of the Journal, but It may be slightly changed. It is expected to get the train on next Sunday, or, : at the furthest, one week from next Sunday. The Pennsylvania passenger department east of Pittsburg Is taking hold of the new train with a good deal of enthusiasm, as It has been a favorite idea with (Jeorge W. Hoyd, general passenger agent of the lines east of Pittsburg, to run such a train. , No. 20 will probably be put back on Its old time, arriving' from the west at Indianapolis at 2:45 p. m. - t - OfllrlnlM.of ort livelcrn I.lnr lllue. Vice President Ripley, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, says: 'The large decrease In earnings Is simply owing to the lack of business. There is now nothing in Ight to make traffic. I never in my experience saw as blue an outlook from a railroad standpoint as now." Chicago & Northwestern officials say: "Traffic Is unrvrecedentedly light. Lines in South Dakota and Nebraska are not earning their expenses. There was never a time when rates east and west were as well maintained as now, largely owing to pcol agreements." President Cable, of the Rock Island road, says he "can see no good business in sight for Western railroads for six months to come. The road that cuts expenses from now on, except In consequence of train reduction, will have to pay for it with good Interest later on." i Col. O'Dtiy and the "'FrUeo. A despatch from Springfield, Mo., says: Quite a stir was occasioned in railroad circles here to-day over the rumor that Col. John O'Day. of this city, had come into possession of a controlling Interest in the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad, now in the hands of a receiver. The rumor, which is said to be well founded, is to the effect that O'Day, through Eastern connections, has secured money to buy enough stock to control the management of the entire Frisco portion of the Santa Fe system. It is also stated O'Day has already tendered D. H. Nichols his old position as general superintendent, and the offer will be accepted. Col. O'Day was seen last evening, but would neither deny or affirm the rumors. He Is a millionaire, and was formerly vice president and general counsel for the '"Frisco" under the Seligmanliogers regime. Attempt to lSleeil a Railway. , A novel suit has been decided by the Supreme Court of Mississippi. An old law allows damages of $50 per day against railroads falling to place at all public crossings a algn of certain dimensions containing the words. "Iook out for the locomotive " such fines to go tp the State Board of Lducation. At a point on the Mobile & Ohio railroad 1t failed to comply with this requirement literally, and a suit was brought in favor of the State Board of Education to recover the damages, amounting to something like $300,000. The road had a Ign up or much larger dimensions than required, with the words. "Railroad crossing." painted thereon, which the court decided met the requirements. (rain Rate Mar He UccrciiNcd. A meeting of the executive committee of the Central Traffic Association will be held In Chicago, to-day, for the purpose of considering the advisability of making some change in freight schedule. Among the possibilities Is a decrease in the tariff on grain between Chicago and New Y'ork. The general opinion Is that the price of grain at the xresent time will pot allow .the existence of a rate of cents 'between this TO YOUNG WIVES We Offer a Remedy Which, Ued as Uircttea, insure batctv to Lite of Mother and Child.

city and the Atlantic seaboard. It Is not certain that the committee will make any reduction, but the matter will be brought up, and if, there is no action taken it is likely to result In some secret rate cutting of the present tariff. The amount of shipments I so much lower than at this time last year, that some of the roads are suffering a serious comparative loss In revenue and they will not stand the thing much longer. . Position of the Inlon Pacific. The Union Pacific will not be a factor in future discussions of the trans-continental rate situation at Chicago, unless a radical change is agreed to by contending interests. General Passenger Agent Lomax. of the Union Pacific, returned to Omaha from Chicago yesterday and made public his ultimatum on this question. "Just as soon as the differential rates were withdrawn," he said, "the Union Pacific is ready to raise the ratesi It occurs to me that the proposij tlon made to the Union Pacific to arbitrate the boycott was a one-sided. Impracticable suggestion, and the Union Pacific cannot, In justice to Itself, go into arbitration. The committee , and report which was signed jointly by the lines boycotting the Union Pacific as well as the Union Pacific itself, shows clearly the determination of the other lines to ring In upon the Union Pacific the opening eff Its Intermediate gateways on one way business, because, while the report says the other lines only want to do one-way business to Portland, this 'only' covers the whole question of Intermediate gateways, as one depends upon the other and every man conversant with the situation knows that H covers all business north and Northwest of Ogden. on which the Union Pacific would allow the other lines and their connections to compete with It for the haul upon this business from the Missouri river to Ogden, which is a much longer haul for the Union Pacific than, the haul beyond Ogden." Kant-Uonnd Shipments. East-bound shipments at Chicago last week amounted to 32,626 tons, against 30,787 for the preceding and 105,790 for ths corresponding week of last year. The roads carried tonnage as follows: Michigan Central, 2,706; Wabash, 3.538; Lake Shore, 4,782; Fort Wayne, 2,7: Panhandle, 4.456; Baltimore & Ohio. 5.161; Grand Trunk, 1.8W); Nickel-plate, 2.432; Erl?. 2,955; Big Four, 1,917. The tonnage was made up of the following articles In tons: Flour, 1,073; grain and mill stuffs, 9.799; provisions, lard, etc., 7,447; dressed beef. 8,258; flaxseed, 355; butter, 1.177: hides, 1,096; lumber, 2,139; miscellanjous, 692. Personal, Local nud General Xotes. H. C. Parker, traffic manager of the Lake Erie & Western, went fo Chicago last night to attend the freight mens' meeting. Wm. K. Bellls, general manager of the Railway Employes' and Officials' Association, went ' yesterday to West Baden springs to rest for a week. The gross earnings of the Atchison system for the fourth week in December were $1,001,988, a decrease of $12,000 for the corresponding week of last year. E. H. R. Green, son of Hetty Green, and president or the Texas Midland, is reviving and proposes to build the Southeastern. Texas road, a portion of which is now graded., Last week a shipment of three hundred bales of cotton was made from a point on the Mobile & Ohio to Kiobe, Japan, to go via St. Louis and Tacoma, thence toy vessel to destination. The Pennsylvania this year pays but $22 per ton for its new steel rails, which is $2 per ton less than it paid last year, when the lowest figure in the history of. rail making was touched. F. E. Draper, assistant auditor of the Great Northern, has been appointed auditor of freight receipts, vice It. L. Globs, deceased. Mr. Draper was formerly In the general freight offices of the Wabash. COl. "E. B. Wheelock, general agent of the Texas Pacific at New Orleans, whose death was announced on Sunday, had held that position since the road opened for business In New Orleans, and was highly esteemed by the Gould family. E. K. Bixby. chief clerk in the offlca of District Passenger Agent Rockwell, of the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines, has obtained a. month's leave of absence asid will spend the time in Florida, leaving for the South to-day. L. F. Ioree, superintendent of the Cleveland & Pittsburg, spent Sunday In- the city, the guest of W. C. Lorep. engineer of maintenance of way of the Indianapolis division of the Panhandle lines, returned to his headquarters yesterday. Engine 379, of the Big Four, has been rebuilt at the Mattoon shops and a number of improvements put upon It. The engine Is expected to be very fast as now constructed and will haul the heavy express trains on the St. Louis division. T. D. Stokes, who was a train dispatcher under A. G. Wells, when superintendent of the St. Ixjuls division of the Big Four, has gone out of the railway service and taken employment with sn insurance company to work among railway employes. A. M. Simmons, of Cleveland, was in the city yesterday, the guest of General Manager Bacon, of the Indiana Car Service Association. Mr. Simmons is general manager of the Cleveland Car Association, one of the best managed In the country. M. E. Ingalls, president, and Oscar Murray, vice president, of the Big Four, passed through the city at midnight en route to Chicago. The meeting of presidents and general managers in that city to-day promises to be largely attended and of a good deal of importance. J. R. Maxwell, who Is reported to be probably fatally ill, is president of the Jersey Central, and is well-known In this section through his connection with the Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western. Mr. Maxwell and Austin Corbln at one time owned a controlling stock. The Illinois Central. In connection with the Chesapeake & Ohio Southwestern, yesterday put on fast freight service between ioulsvllle and New Orleans. Everything indicates that the Illinois Central intends to make its acquisition of the Chesapeake & Ohio Southwestern a profitable investment for the company. J. H. Klein, chief train dispatcher of the Chicago & Erie railroad, has been appointed trainmaster of the eastern division, made vacant by the death cf Trainmaster O. F. Gross two weeks ugo. Mr. Klein's position as chief dispatcher is filled by the promotion of D. I. Jones. The headquarters of both are at Huntington. Prior to the reorganization of the roads which form the Southern railway the bonded debt pei mile averaged $45,000; as reorganized the bonded debt is but $22,000 per mile. The first four months that this company controlled this mileage an increase of $486,000 is shown over the net earnings of the corresponding four months in 1893. The Northern Pacific for the first time has appointed a general agent to look after Its business in New England, with headquarters at Boston. Frank A. Gross has been appointed to the newly, created position. For a number of years Mr. Gross has been traveling ticket agent of the New Y'ork Central, and is well informed onfallroad matters. The Indianapolis divison of the Central Association of Railway Officials will hold Its next meeting on Saturday, at wWch time Peoria v.TU probably be voted In as a member of the central organization. There will hen be six important railway centers in the association Ind'ananolis, Columbus, o Cincinnati, Louisville, Toledo and Peoria. General Manager Barnard, of the Peoria & Eastern, yesterday instructed the superintendent of rolling stock of the road to put in any odd time they might have from now on in building twenty-five side dump cars. When these are built the company will have sixty-five of this class of cars. This is done in contemplation of doing a good deal of ballasting n?xt summer. An Important move Is making on a number of Northwestern roads to further curtail expenses. On the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Northern Paelrk on accommodation trains and on all trains of branches, it is proposed to have one man act .as baggage man and express messenger, the railroad company appointing one-half the number and the express companies the other half. The order will not affect the heavy through trains, where it would be impracticable for one man to handle both branches of the business. Ford Wood, general freight agent of Ihe Peovla & Eastern, does not take as gloomy a view cf the railroad situation as do some of the freight men. He says that while the tonnage Is lighter than at the corresponding period last year, the freight moving is carried at better rates and the weather has been such for some weeks past that the roads have b?en able to move business on an exceedingly low av?rage cost In the way of operation of the roads. He thinks that within the next two weeks an improvement will be shown in freight business generally. .1. II. Cavanaugh. superintendent 'of car service on the Big Four, who for many years was on the Northwestern lines and who has Just returned from a Northwestern trip, says It is depressing to se the l'ght freight traffic most of the Northwestern lines arc doing. Instead of hauling wheat, corn, hay and live stock out of Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas by the train loads, the roads which usually do thi!fe business are hauling grain, hay ami other articles for the people and live stock to ubalst on liito those States, fre of charge, and he can e but little good for the roads until next year's crops' arc harvested, which will likely be as it

would not be expected that those States would have failures In crops two seasons In succession. The New Y'ork Central, the Jersey Central' and the Delaware, Iackawanna & Western have put up one million dollars to be used in the erection at Brooklyn of a new warehouse, the largest ever erected in this country, to be fireproof. It will contain enormous elevators, capable of lifting a loaded freight car and its contents to any floor in the building. Large docks will be built out into the East river in front of the warehouse, and over these docks cars will be run from floats into the .warehouse. The system will do away with much of the rehandling of freights now in vogue. MINISTERS DISCUSS SIM COY.

Mr. Jeacken Findx Food for Thought In the Politician's Book. At the meeting of the ministers of the cttyat. the Y'. M. C. A. Hall yesterday morning the late Simeon Coy was the topic of discussion. Dr. Joseph S. Jenckes read a paper upon Coy's book., A lively interest was taken in the discussion which followed, and the same men who severely criticised Coy as a politician, and did much in bringing about his overthrow, poke kindly of him, and each could see good traits in his character. Dr. 'Jenckes gave the book, "The Great Conspiracy," probably the first serious thought which it has received. The Doctor had a copy of the work before him for reference while he read. By the remarks it was evident that Dr. Jenckes has a great deal of respect for the noted politician, and that he regards him as a victim of the tfmes rather than a. man of vicious tendencies. He said Mr. Coy was a man of extraordinary Intelligence, of close and accurate observation and of marked ability.' "The Great Conspiracy." -he said, contains some excellent food for thought and some good truths. The main point which Dr. Jenckes drew was that Coy was made what he was by the wrongs, evils and rottenness of society which is manifest in politics. A man of Coy's ability and kindness of heart might have rilled an important and useful place in the world had he been surrounded by different environment and influences. Coy was drawn in by a rotten element in politics, and habit had a great deal to do with the incidents of his life, "Habit," the Doctor said, "makes it doubly easy for a man to go wrong, with whom habit has becomea second nature. Why is the effort of such an one to reform uniformly fruitless?" As an answer to this question it was said that there is an irresistible tide of public opinion agalnt such men. The progress of such is retarded by prejudice. No one wants to employ an ex-convlct or a Jail bird to work at any honest business. Under, the existing circumstances it was impossible for Coy to have done much differently from what he did, or to have entered some honorable business, after he returned from the penitentiary. The remedy for such cases. Dr. Jenckes said, was the use of a little Christian kindness, the application of more charity. Speaking of . the book of the remarkable politician. Dr. Jenckes stated that the eighteenth' and nineteenth chapters of "The Great Conspiracy" were valuable contributions to literature to all those who are really in earnest in Christian work. The suggestion made by their author that a State agent be established, whose duty it-shall be to look after and care for prisoners released from the prisons was a wise. Christianlike and philantrophie advice. Mr. Coy's many little acts of kindness were recalled to show that he was a man of good heart and good intentions. There was a great deal of dtscussion over what Dr. Jenckes had said, and all present seemed to think that Coy was as good a man as hundreds of others who are actively engaged in politics of his kind, and better than many of the men whope tool he was. The topic of discussion was changed to the pool question by the remarks of Rev. M. L. Haines, who said he understood an attempt would be made to get a pool law passed at the coming Legislature similar to th? one in operation in New Y'ork State. Such a law, he said, would make gambling respectable and result in a Roby being established in every county in the State. He said emphatically: "We want to exterminate Roby and everything of the kind, and we want no law which will foster the gambling industry." Dr. Haines urged all the ministers to speak against the proposed law in their pulpits. Near the close of the session Dr. Jenckes introduced resolutions asking thatthe Legislature close the monument to the public on Sundays. There were .several objections to this protiosition. Rev. I. R. Lueas entering an emphatic protest for the reason that Sunday was the only day many had to visit the monument, which is an education, and cannot help but be elevating. The matter was finally left to the executive committee. BOARD OF TRADE MATTERS. Local OrKUiilr.il tlon DccitlcN to Join State Hoard of Commerce. The question of withdrawing f.'om the National Board of Trade was; up for discussion before the governors of the Ind'anapolis Board of Trade last -venlng. The general sentiment of the members, judged by those who spoke, is that the local board can very well exist without the aid and assistance of the national 1 ody. The proposition to withdraw by vote did not meet a hearty approval. It was thought more advisable to simply drop out by not paying the dues and ignoring the national organization. As the dues are paid jr jsome time ahead, the matter will be open for reconsideration at any time. The governors, upon the recommendation of the manufacturing committee, voted to enter as' a member of the Indiana State Board of' Commerce. The same committee recommended the selection of a committee to attend the convention of manufacturers to be held at Cincinnati, Jan. 2:. for the rurpoaa of organizing a National Manufacturers Association, designed to further the Interest of the manufacturing buMr.ess. The committee on resolutions and communications Introduced a letter fro;n the Produce Exchange, of Chicago, embodying resolutions protesting against the sale of oleomargarine as pure butter, much to the detriment of the trade. The communication and the resolutions were laid on the table. The Produce Exchange a;so v ante 1 the board to send a d 'legation to Cleveland to attend a convention of hay rr.erchsnts in order that a schedule of prices nr.d grades for hay can be agreed upon. The board of governors did' 'tot think the hiy business sufficiently important io provide representation at the conve-.i'on. The National Trades League, of Philadelphia, Jtssed cooperation in defeating tne bankruptcy bill, which has already passed the national House of Repreaen'.ati ,'es. T!?e secretary was Instructed to inform the Traders' League that the hill i:as iioen co"dimned by the Indianapolis board, ani that the board will do overvthlng Dussible to aid In the defeat of the obuoxijiis meatrre.

PROPERTY NOT TAXED

SEVERAL MII.MOXS OF IT ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEX OMITTED. O. li. "Weaver, IV ho .Made Affidavit Aicninat "Coffin, Fletcher A Co. and OtherN, Charfted with CoiiMplracy. The County Commissioners have, for some time, had a contract with Charles M. Tyler, a former deputy township assessor, by which he was to receive 25 per cent, of all taxes' collected through information furnished by him of people holding back taxable property. This contract was made last summer oh Mr. Tyler's proposal to expose a large amount of secreted property. Recently an' affidavit was filed by Ozro D. Weaver, a Board of Trade 'broker, who charged that, for a number of years, much property belonging to the firm of Coffin, Greenstreet & Fletcher, had been omitted from the assessor's books. Between the years of 1881 and 1890, inclusive, it was charged that the amount of property belonging to "his firm and not taxed was $2,107,000; th.it for the years 1891, 1892 and 1S93, there was ; omitted property of the value of $510,000 by the firm of Coffin, Greenstreet & CO. The further charge was made that for the years 1881 and 1893 there was omitted from the property of James L, Fletcher, now dead,, the sum of $1,200,000 and that there was omitted from taxation $15O,0CO from the property belonging to Albert W. Fletcher, between the years 1881 and 1S93. The exhibits which accompany the affidavits allege that the omitted property was the products of the packing business carried on by the firm before its change. The taxes due from J. L. Fletcher are alleged to be from credits on books of the firm, ranging from $12,000 to $45,000 a year. Yesterday afternoon attorneys D. W. Howe and Harding & Hovey, representing Coffin. Fletcher. & Co., and the widow of James L. Fletcher, held a consultation with Auditor Taggart, In which an affidavit was presented charging Ozro D. Weaver, Charles M. Tyler and J. 11. Greenstreet, a former member of the firm of Coffin, Fletcher & Co.,- with conspiracy. The assertion is made that the charges are the result of malice and that there is no truth in the accusations set out in the affidavit. XEW SIPREMB JIDGKS.

There Is a choice little bit of scandal afloat in which are the names of two families prominent In Hagenbeck's aggregation now playing at English's. An attempt has been made to keep the family trouble out of the papers, but Mrs. Leopardess had acted so wretchedly horrid that It was noticeable that something was wrong. At Cincinnati she showed off and hurled defiance at one of her attendants, besides clawing and injuring him very severely. This, of course, was very unbecoming a lady of her position, &; she was brought here in a darkened cage, Yesterday morning after she had been turned lose in the' big cage with air, and Mrs. Llon.-Mr. Leopard and the rest of the families she again began to show her ugly disposition. She thrust one of her velvety hands through the bars and seized Heimlich Mehrmann, " her guardian. Mr. Mehrmann was badly clawed and scratched, but disinterested parties pulled him away from the angry Mrs. Leopardess. Her. conduct led to inquiries with the following startling results, which are just as true as truth can ba: Mrs. Leopardess has become infatuated with Mr. Lion and deserted her husband. The first trouble happened a week ago, when Mrs. Leopardess raised an objection because her liege and lord ate three cow livers, leaving her but one. She went straight to Mr. Lion, who after hearing her sad story grabbed the inhuman husband by the throat and choked him until he relingulshed his hold upon the liver. That was the beginning of the love between Mr. Lion and Mrs. Leopardess. She remains by the side of her new found protector, notwithstanding the fact that he has another wife on the other side. Nothing remains for Mr. Leopard to do but crouch in the far corner of the cage and makes faces. Mr. Lion sees that Mrs. Leopardess gets plenty of liver and stale beef and he will not push her head out of the tub while she Is drinking. It Is rumored, In fact Mrs. Leopard's ccusln. Miss Tiger, says, tnat the wounded husband will sue for a divorce as soon as the company reaches the Dakotas. But members of the company say that Mrs. Leupardess thinks she owns the earth, since the king of beast has espoused. her cause and she refuses to have anything to do with any of her relations. She is supremely happy in the company of Mr. Lion and even objects to the approach of disinterested parties. But her new found acquaintance was unable to prevent her from being locked up yesterday after her display of temper, in a pitch dark cage. But she vows that the punishment will not dampen her admiration for Mr. Lion and under no consideration will she return to her husband.
