TI1UNK LINES AT AVAR

ACTION OF THE "SOO" FOI1CKS A CIT to m: iviDnsrnEAD. Chanre for n Itlgr Scalplnic Ilualuean at Chlrago and UnfTalo on Mngnra , Falls Ihrnmlon Rale.. Th trouble over the one-fare rate by the "Soo" line for the total abUnene meetIn; in New York has broken out In a new place and the chances are now bright for all aorta of trouble. Western lines asked their Eastern connections to assist them In mak-', ing a one-fare rate to meet the tariff put In by the "Soo," but they were refused. Yesterday the Wisconsin Central announced' that It would make a one-fare rate anyhow, and In a short time after it had declared itself the grand trunk said It would stand Its share of the reduction, and the two roads together will meet the one-fare rate made by the "Soo" line. It Is difficult to see how the lines in the Central Traffic Association can now avoid taking action similar to that of the Grand Trunk. No action was taken yesterday, but something Is looked for by to-day. It Is a foregone conclusion that the rest of -the St. Paul-Minneapolis and Chicago lines will meet the cut made by the Wisconsin Central. Niagara excursions, of which there have been very few from Chicago during: the last few years, are creating dis.-ord among the lines of the Central Traffic Association. hile none has been run from Chicago proper. th?y have been 'run from points within a hundred miles of there. One excursion was projected by the Erie road which was to leave Chicago by boat to Michigan City and then tap the Erie line at some point In Ohio. This roused the Grand Trunk, and It came out yesterday declaring that other roads in the association were running: excursions without eivinir it proper notice. It will therefore run an excursion direct from Chicago to the falls for J7 for the round trip. The excursion will be ma Aug. 18. and tickets will have a final return limit of one week. These tlckJw.ill olTer a chance to scalpers on the Buffalo market, and general uneasiness is felt by the Eastern lines over the outlook. Irosperta of the I., It. JL C. Mr. F. L. Patrick, of Columbus, O., and Mr. S. C. Cameron of Chicago, are at Rockport conferring with leading citizens with reference to making arrangements for an early resumption of work on the Chicago. Indianapolis,. & Rockport railroad. The enterprise recently Tailed for lack of capital.ln consequence of which serious trouble resulted with two hundred Italians brought from Chicago to Rockport by Cameron &. Malone, who had the contract of grading from that place to 'Mitchell, and who placed the Italians at the work of grading between Rockport and GrandvJew. The contractors were unable-to pay the Italians for their labor,, who worked faithfully for two months, and made an excellent roadbed for a distance of nine miles. The object of the contractors was to comflete the road to Grandvlew and get the 10.000 tax from Fpencer county, pay off the laborers and material men, and continue the work, but the pressing -demands of credlprs made such a course Impracticable. The fury of the Italians so frightened contractors and projectors that for some time their whereabouts' was unknown. A few of them, however, have recently got together and. the outlook Is fair for- work to begin soon- The company owed for labor and money borrowed about 'JlS.OCO. "which Mr. Tatrick claims has recently been paid, and lays the r.OOO due laborers and material men of Spencer county will bexsettled scon. Mr. Patrick also stated "that if he could not interest capitalists to take hold of the project soon he wouU. relinquish all his interests in the enterprise to capitalists of Rockport and Grandvlew, which. If done, would insure the building of the road from Rockport to Mitchell".' which would give that section of the State 'a good -'northern outlet. r r Condition Stendllr Improving:. Judge Bacon, general agent of the Chicago ic Rock Island, Is In the city. He has Just returned from . an extended "Western trip and - brings with him the most flattering reports of the crop conditions, both in the West and the Southwest, and this is 'the general tenor of the reports of both freight and passenger men' who have recently been over the West, the Southwest and the Northwest. They state that recent rains have made the corn grow rapidly and have been worth a good deal to the farmers. The passenger and freight men state that the towns along the lines have taken on a more thrifty appearance, and Improvement 13 noticeable on every hand. Mr. Bacon says there is nothing very striking:, but a great many little industries are resuming , operations, and quite frequently In the better towns and cities new and expensive buildings are being erected, and everything denotes & healthy tone to the business of the West. Reports from the Pouth and Kast are of much the same tenor. The South will have a good cotton and rice crop and a large corn crop. -which means prosperity In that section. With the starting up of car works in the North, shipments of - Southern pine and hardwood lumber have been resumed, and this Is giving more activity to other lines of business. Revolution Jn Freight Trntflc. Three of the eighteen steel boats to be operated by the Cleveland Steel Canal Boat Company leave here for Lorain, O., tonight, where they will be loaded at the Johnson, steel plant with rills for the Broadway and Staten Island roads of New York. Two more of the boats will be loaded -with export flour here, and the Ave vest.wlll start for New York next Tuesday, Fn; via Iake Erie to Buffalo and thence the Erie canal In tow of a propeller which has been especially built for the purrose. The canal boats, which have been built -with a view to making them seaworthy on the lakes, are of 270 tons each, ninety-eight feet over all. seventeen "and a. half feet wide and ten feet holded depth. Two more propellers and thirteen canal boats are being constructed and will soon be ready for sen-ice. The experiment of sending these vessels direct to New York without a reshlpment of cargoes at any point Is being watched with much interest In marine circles, and it is freelv predicted that the venture will uhimately result in a revolution of the east and west-bound freight traffic. Rates , for Coming: Kntcrt nlnments. The local passenger agents met yesterday In special session and voted to make, the following' reduced rates on the occasions named: To - the driving club races,'" Aug. 13 and It. the rate within a radius of seventy-nve' miles will be one fare and one-thin- for the round trip, and on the 11th and 16th one fare for the ro'ind trip, good to return on the 17th. To the spectacular "Nia-ht of Pekin." Sept. Z. the rate will be 1 cent a mile, good to return on the morning trains of the respective roads on Aug. 6. To the State FaJr. the association recommends to the Central Traffic Association that the rate be one fare, round trip, from all points in the State, commencing Sept. lfi. good to return up to and Inclnllng Sept. tZ. The Central Traffic Association will doubtless approve the recommendation. The local association ha power to fix rates only In a radius of seventy-five miles, consequently the State Fair rate goes to headquarters for approval. - I. fc S. Ituya Tennessee Central. It is learned that the I, Ac N. road h;:s. purchased the Tennessee Central, which s now being built from Nishville to Knoxville, for 120.000. agreeing. t asj-uma the obligations of the promot.M-s of the 'atUr road as to time of ronstr-ictlor., agreements with counties, etc. This drives the I. N an entrance into KnoxvilU. an advantage lonje sought h tnat rend. President J. W. Thomas, of the Nashville. Chattanooga & St. LouU rallwav, speaking of the reported purchase cf the Tennessee Central, said: "Neither th I. & N. nor the N.. C. & St. I railway uas jurchased the Tennessee Central. So lar ns I know, there Is nothing- Jn he rumor frcm East Tennessee." r.mi-Ooanil llsiei Said to lie Firm. Inquiry among the higher local freight CfkUls show that. i.o far as Indianapolis Is concerned, freight rates In .all directions are unusually firm. These . official say tlioy have telegrams from officials In Chicago and St. Iouis showing that the same conation exist in those cities, and that thete is no truth in the telegrams sent from those points to the effect that rates are row cut about as bad as before the present reform was agitated. Receiver for the Colunibn Southern. T. E. Blanchard. of Columbus. Ga.. mas yeiterdsy appointed receiver of the columns Southern Railway Company on tha application -of the Central Trust Company,

holders, as trustees; of $1.C87.C00 of 'bonds. The road defaulted on the interest on the bonds two yars ago and has continued to default ever since. The appointment was made by Judge Newman in the United States Court at Atlanta.

Hetty Green Son May Ituy. E. H. Jl: Green, of Terrell, le:., 's in Little Itock In connection ith the :-ale of the Little Rock & Memphis railroad, to cccur next October. He has an idea of buying the road with a view to extending i to Paris, Tex., to connect there wit i the Texas Midland. Mr. Green is the son cf Mrs". Hetty Green and the active nianiger cf htr railroad interests. Meeting: of Southern Line Cnlled. J. C. Halle, chairman of the committee of the Atlanta terminal lines, has called a meeting of Interested Southern lines on Aug. a, to be held in Chicago, to discuss rates and arrangements for the Atlanta Kxposltlon. . Mr. Halle has requested the lines of the Western Passenger and Central Traffic associations to meet with them. Personal, Locnl and General .Votes. Strict rules have Just been issued on the Pennsylvania lines regarding the use and disposal of torpedoes. Edmund Smith, who fdt many years was a director of the Pennsylvania, died at Philadelphia on Tuesday. G. i Richardson has been appointed master of transportation of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters at San Francisco. . The Big Four, yesterday, took out of Cincinnati and Columbus. O., fifty-six coaches filled with the Niagara Falls excursionists. The Peoria & Kastern will, this week, receive five hundred tons of new steel rails, which will be placed in the track westward from Waynestown. The roads entering at Terre Haute are making arrangements to run trains to draw crowd to the races at that point, beginning Aug. 5. The Toledo, Ann Arbor & Michigan has begun the construction of its new Hamburg line, which-will relieve the company of some heavy grades and sharp curves. The Baltimore & Ohio Is rebuilding at its various shops forty-hve of Its locomotives, which have been partially disabled for some time, but are worth rebuilding. District Passenger Agent Turner, of the Northern Pacific, says Yellowstone Park travel has been 30 per cent. In excess this year of any summer since the road was built. Ira McCormlck, who retired, on Wednesday night, as trainmaster of the Lake Shore road, has been presented by his associate employes with an elegant gold watch and chain. Henry Burke, car service agent of the New York Central, has been appointed general superintendent of the company's yards at Buffalo, In place of D. Heeps, who recently mysteriously disappeared. . Both the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern are arranging for additional side tracks at Louisville to accommodate the cars which will arrive there during; the G. A. It. encampment. It is stated that no fast freight line operating between Indianapolis and New York has shown larger earnings than has the West Shore, the Merchants Dispatch Transportation Company excepted. Charles E. Newberry, general yardmaster of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton at Toledo, retired from that position yesterday and was succeeded by H. C. Chappel, formerly in the Inuanapolis yards. Receiver Pelrce, of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas' City, still nolis aloof from the Western coal pool, alleging that several roads have contracts out at rates below those the pool proposes to establish. An. official of the Pittsburg & Western says there has been no trouble between that road and the Lake Shore regarding the connection at Painesville. The plan has been abandoned as an economical measure. General Ticket Agent Donoush. at the Union Station, states that the receipts from sales of tickets in June were fully $15,000 In excess of those of June, 1S34, and In July the recelDta from sales of tickets were J21.000 ahead of July, 1834. N. K. Elliott has adopted the custom of the general superintendents on the Pennsylvania lines of getting division superintendents together once a month to talk over matters. The first meeting was held on Monday last at Terre Haute. A railroad seventy-five miles long in which Alabama capitalists are interested. Is to be built from Montgomery to Camden. Ala. S. D. Bloch. of Montgomery. Is president, of the company, and ex-Governor Jones is Interested in the project. , General Manager Barnard, of the Peoria i & Eastern, Is elated over the compliments of the new station of the company at Danville, 111. It was built chiefly from his tiesigns, and is very convenient and at the same time attractive In its appearance. The fast freight over the Bee-line division of the Big Four which hauls perishable freights is, scheduled stops deducted, at a speed of twenty-six miles an hour. The run from Indianapolis to Cleveland, L'37 miles, Is made in less than, fifteen hours. stops deducted. Freight officials are on the anxious seat again. The Interstate Commerce Commission has detectives again at work at some of the prominent Western shipping points. Through asking for inside rates the detectives are said to have secured some valuable information. The Pennsylvanfa, the Lehigh Valley and the Phiadelphla & Reading will on Monday next meet the reduction in coal rates made toy the Erie and the Lackawana lines from the Pennsylvania mines to Buffalo. The rate by all lines will then be $1.70 per ton, instead of $2, the prevailing rate of pome years past. A mechanical engineer states that a careful examination of the latest locomotive bulldera books bears out the statment made by the Schenectady locomotive works that on no road in this or in foreign countries is there an eight-wheeled passenger as powerful as Nos. W and 201, recently delivered to the Big Four. Work was begun on Wednesday on the projected Terre Haute. Saylor Springs & Mt. Verono. A St. Louis centractlng firm has secured the contract to build the road from the Indiana State line to Mount Vernon, and it is evident that Terre Haute will have another railroad before Indianapolis gets one. General Passenger Agent Uaniel3, of the New York Central, who cf lat has bn issuing his tour-track series, giving vau -ble lniormation to tne uavp.:n, p.io'iu, will have some of them bound in cloth for permanent reference. His last book in the series is entitled "Health and Pleasure on America's Greatest Road." G. C. Knowlton, formerly passenger conductor on the Indianapolis & St. Louis, but for the last fifteen years on the Missouri Pacific, is in the city. He is en route east on his vacation. Mr. Knowlton says at no time since he ha been on the Missouri Pacific has the outlook for business been more favorable than at present. The Pennsylvania is experimenting with the Moskowitz system of electric lighting of cars. The dynamo Is clamped to the axle of the car. which also acts ns the axle cf the dynamo. A storage battery under the car holds the electricy for use when the car is not in motion. A switchboard In front of the car controls the light. The receipts of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton from the sales of tickets at its outside office at Indianapolis for July were 4.6iO In excess of those of July, 189 1. This includes its Niagara Falls excursion business. The receipts of the Monon were slightly in excess of last yar. The Monon had no excursion business of Importance to swell its earnings. Edward S. Harrison, who represents the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy on ths Pacific coast, is spending his vacation in visiting friends in this State. He once resided at Terre Haute, but left that city twentynine j ears ago to enter the railroad service. His first official service was on the Denver & Rio Grande. Ten years ago he took rvlce with the Burlington. President Ingalls expresses the belief that all the railroad presidents will attend the conference to be held in New York Aug. 13, at which the proposed agreement for the maintenance of rates will come up for ratification. This agreement, it is confidently hoped, will then be ratified by the directors of all the lines interested, after which It will be plain sailing for the roads, sample freiaht car was. yesterday. turned out of the shops of the Big Four at Brightwood, thirty-six feet in length, with sixty thousand pounds capacity, which is said to have a number or excellent points. and William Garstang. superintendent of motive power, has asked several master car builders to visit the city ana inspect the car. The Big Four will probably build several hundred lx cars of this pattern. The Pennsylvania on Wednesday gave out an order for ten thousand tons of steel rails; two thousand go to the the Pennsylvania Steel Company, two thousand to the Lackawanna Steel Company, three thousand to the Cambria Iron Company, two thousand to the Carnegie works, and one thousand to the Illinois Steel Mill, making fifty-seven thousand tons the Pennsylvania has purchased this year. More are to be purchased for Its Western lines. A conservative passenger official says he can see no reason for James Barker, gen eral passenger agent of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas, keeping up the rate demoralization In the West. The company now has as good a track, as fine equipment, if not better, and makes as good time as its competitor, the St. Iouls k Iron Mountain. Its rains now-run into the I'n'on Station ai ! St. Louis, and in every respect the M.t K. &

T. equals its chief competitor, and the continued warfare on rates he characterises as needless, and tending; to force presidents to enter into Ironclad agreements, which mean trouble for rate cutters. A new sample cabin car has been completed at the Pennsylvania . company's shops at Columbus, O. It was built for the combined purpose of meeting the needs of the road and the comfort of the trainmen who live so much of the time in cabooses. The car is roomy and fully equipped with facilities for cooking, washing and sleeping, and Is a very comfortable place. CORRECTED PRIMARY LIST.

THE ACTON OFFICERS

SELECTION'S MADB AT THE AXXl'AL MEETIXG YESTERDAY. err Superintendent to lie Elected -.- Inomnl Xnmber of Addresses Yesterday at Ilethany. Yesterday was the third and last day of the , presiding' elders convention at Acton, which has been attended by about seventy-five ministers. Their business sessions have all been held as cabinet meetings, but one of these officials has spoken from the platform , at each service In the pavilion. The social meeting was led by Rev. J. W. Maxwell, but the elders, with one exception, . were absent. The subject of Miss Taylor's llible reading was In a line with the sermon of the previous evening 'The Personality of the Holy Ghost." The morning train from the East brought several visitors, to, the park, among whom was Mrs. Dr. Gatch, State president or the . Chautauqua circles. To-day Dr. Sims is to be the hard-worked man of the occasion. .At 10 o'clock he la to deliver his lecture, "The Morning Star of the Reformation," and at 2:30 will speak in an entirely, different vein, giving a numerous lecture., of .which the subject is "The Typical American." At the afternoon .service those who had never eeen Dr. Talbott were surprised to see so young a man as presiding elder. The Doctor announced as. his text. "We knew that we, have ; Raised from death into life." (I John, 111, 14.) The speaker began by saying "I am conscious of but one wish or purpose-to; help some struggling or needy one. There " Is a region of death. They who commit crimes against God are In this region of deat,h. There is a region of life, in which they dwell who have been begotten of a lively hope. The sentence or death being, taken away does not give assurance thai-one is fully saved. There Is a passage from the region of death to the-region of life. The witness that I have passed from death unto life is, first, that of God's word, which teaches repentance and faith, requiring the assent of tne mind, the consent of the will and the confidence' of His protection aufflclent to claim," ' At the close of 'the sermon r. Dashiel asked all to remain for'the cottagers' meeting. He stated that - the first camp meeting was held on tht3 ground in 18os. There have been two or three years when, no meetings were held. These times were first during the war, when the anti-Union sentiment caused the burning of the buildings, and In 1873,' when the Fains so covered the ground that services were abandoned. T. H. McClain, in behalf of the auditing committee, approved the accounts cf Superintendent H. A. Crossland. Lon H. Havens presented his resignation as trustee and was followed by Frank Reynolds. Both resignations were accepted, as was that of H. A. Crossland as superintendent. Tho following officers 'were then elected: Rev. J. W. Dashiell, president. Rev. B. T. Morgan, vice president. Geo. Hodell. treasurer. , Geo. Gadd, secretary. R. Roberts and V. A. Wheeler, trustees for three years; C. Speegal and Rev. T. B. McClain, trustees for two years; L. Cfc Gustln and Mrs. Dr'Slddall. trustees for one year. These 'trustees will elect a superintendent. - ' ' v ' -' The question of sinking a well for artesian water is In tho hands of a committee composed of J. R.'Budd. H. A. Crossland and E. E. Matthews. It was stated that the committee having in hand the matter of the taxation of the . cottages has not been able to repvrt a final adjustment, but thinks for the future there wilt be an arrangement by which the taxes-will be less burdensome. Th6 evening's sermon was by H. Harris. ... HPpBIBBBMMBSSMSMaSSS FIFTEEN ADDRESSES AT BETHANY. 1 The Day Devoted tolPprelifn Missions -The CLnseoIemorlnl. . Yesterday's programme at Bethany Park was one of the largest of the' assembly, there being in all fifteen addresses delivered during the day and evening, aside from the numerous other talks and regular business. The day was devoted to the interests of foreign missions, and a large number of persons from over the State who are particularly interested In that'branch of the work attended. " " ' President McGarvey, of Kentucky University, delivered hts fourth lecture on the "Bible's Account of. Itself" at 9 o'clock. It presented the account otjthe Bible as found in Ezra, Xehemlah and the post-cxillan prophets.- He stated that the later books of the. Old Testament we're' written' almost one thousand years af terthe Fentateuch, and naturally one would expect to find some reference in these ' later' books to the older ones, if that is true. -.The word post-exilian, he explained, Is used. with reference to those books which were wrilten after the exile, or captivity. Malachi, Haggai and Zachariah were of this class. Ezra and Nehemiah lived after the exile. At 10:30 o'clock F. M. Rains, of Cincinnati, took the platform, and, as president of th day, introduced Joseph Franklin, of Bedford,' who was to make the first address. In Introducing him, Mn Rains spoke of the fact that Mr. Franklin has a daughter In India doing missionary work, and stated that another daughter,. who was sitting beside her father on the platform, will soon leave fcr Damoah, India, on the same mission. During the, morning, this daughter. Miss Stella, was introduced to the audience, and made a few brief remarks. Mr. Franklin's address was on the ,'Examrles and Lessons of the New .Testament Missions." He reviewed all the missions given in the New Testament, and from them drew the following .lessons: "Any one w ho can may preach the. gospel; preachers may go where they can and work each in his own way; churches may send men out to any special work." : The next address was on "Missionary Motives." and was delivered by Mark Collis. He limited his remarks to those motives which should impel Christians who do not go to foreign lands to support with their wealth those who do carry the glad tidings to the lands of darkness.
