EAST-BOUND TONNAGE

healthy ixcncAsn last avcck over west-round raciGiiT. Sllffht Kalllnsr Off In Total Xnmlier of Loaded Curs Handled nt TIiI.h Point Ilitl!roatl eira. The train records show that in the week ervllns Oct. '6 there were 211 fewer leaded cars received and forwarded at Indianapo113 thai In the preceding week, and C31 'fewer than In the corresponding week of lSOi, which was the largest loaded car movement of the year. Hut. koins-baek to ISM, there were more loaded, cars handiel at this point this year. The exhibit' of last week would not have fallen short of that of the week ending Sept. 25 but for the scarcity of cars of some description, as, east bound, there was a marked Increase In shipments of. grain, cerealine products and flour, and the shipments of dressed meats and live stock are again Increasing. As a consequence east-bound tonnage L considerably In excess of last month. Ia west-bound "business the tonnage Is not as heavy as last month In the higher-class freights, but In. the lowerclass freights an increase is noticeable; so great Is the demand for anthracite coal, coke and iron structural work that the roads are troubled to furnish the cars called for. Yet it is true that it is very seldom that the freight moving Is so nearly equal in opposite directions. The Panhanlle, for instance, brought In last week 2 loaded cars and forwarded east from this point 925 loaded cars. Iiuslness with the north-and-south roads is curtailed somewhat by a want of cars. Many roads during the depressed time allowed their freight equipment (o get out of repair, and failed to replace worn-out cars with new ones, and now the folly of such economy Is made plain. Local business continues highly satisfactory in its volume. Platform business is hardly up to that of September, but on the loading and unloading tracks mere business Is doing. The bringing in of building material and the material usel in repairing the streets and laying them with brick and asphalt still forms an Important feature of local business. Freight agents say that at no time in many years has the billing shown rates as well hell to tariff on both local and through business as at present.

Mention was made a day or two ago that It was understood that the Old Dominion Steamshlp-lin Company had consented to become a, member of the presidents' new association. Tho announcement is now said to be premature. An Eastern paper says: "An interesting condition of local traffic affairs has grown out of the Trunk-line Association's desire to get the Old Dominion Steamship Company to join that organization, and the prospects are that the latter company will take a long t'me to make Up its mind td accept the liberal inducements that have been tendered to .it. The ctatement was made to-day, on the highest authority, that the Old Dominion Company had virtually decided to decline the annual subsidy offered by the Trunk-line, ' Association for the control of Its emigrant' business, and the declination, is said to have been brought about by the action of the Merchants . and Miners steamship line, of Boston, In arrangtr.tr to run a line out of this city. According, to a well-informed official, the 'Merchants and Miners' line has completed plans to compete for ithe emigrant business out of this city, via 'Norfolk, and -a contract has been made with ona of the First ward agents for the transfer of all his emigrant business to that company. This agent has been empowered to represent the company Jn this city, and there is a strong probability that serious . complications will result. There has been a standing; invitation to membership on the part of the Trunk-line Association to the Old Iominion Company for several years, but as the interests of the company have teen so diversified it has deemed it prudent ,.to keep cut. The Seaboard Air-line. South?rn, Chesapeake & Ohio and Atlantic Coast line are interested in the line, and its eml- - errant business has always been large." , Railroad ' Earning. The Toledo, St. Ioul3 & Kansas City earned in September, gross, J173.019.C1, an increase over tho corresponding month of 1S04 of $20,359.87. The Wabash earned in Ccptember $1,173,5CS, an increase this year of $100,047. The Lfcke Erie & Western earned In September $230,611, a decrease this year of $24,102. The Chesapeake & Ohio earned in September $24,739, an Increase this year of & ii. Cv P. Clark, juVldent of the New York, New Haven & Hitford hah made public the annual statement for the year ending June 30, 1803, which shows that the total earnings were J7,im,733.?J, divided as follows: Passenger. $l3.i.W.0G3.M; freight. $12.t;0.C.'J.S2; rents, $203,72.62. which. deducting operating expenses of $13,W1,027.77, leaves net earnings $3,837,708. To the net earnings is added the sum of. $234.S23. accruing from dividends on stock and Interest on bonds owned, stocks leased and miscellaneous income. The fixed charges were $5.5J3.5i5, taxes and rentals of leased lines constituting the chief items. These were: Taxes, Sl.tfMTC; rentals of leased lines. $3,322,403. It is shown that the company earned over and above 8 per cent, during the year. To the operating expenses are charged $830,973, representing new equlpnyt and improvements, ana It is expectelthat the recent . Increase of stock will not affect the continuance of the regular 2 per cent quarterly dividend. The freltrht increase for the year was from 541.4S4.407 to 717.7ol.0C3 miles. , while the passenger Increase rose from ' 7::..2."a,,03 to 747.0C8.72S miles, which is an increase In the freight per ton from $1.13 to $L-T. The gross revenue increase is 9 per cent., or $2,321,SC1 for the year. Xew Railroad Enterprise, Saturday night the stockholders of the Tcrre Haute &.

Oct. 6, 2,354 loaded car?, the best week's business in months. This was an increase of 125 cars over the preceding week. Coal traffic is improving with the Indianapolis & Vincennes. Last week this road brought In 4&J loaded cars, largely coal. The Chicago division of the Pig Four Is as?aln In the lead, the west end la?t week handling at Indlanapoll3 2,780 cars, being loaded. The four Pennsylvania lines last week handled at Indianapolis 3,776 loaded cars, a decrease cf 1X3 when compared with the week ending Sept. 2S. The Pig Four lines proper handled at Indianapolis last week S.135 loaded cars, an Increase of eighty-five cars over the number handled In the preceding week. The Monon handled at Indianapolis last week 673 cars, 512 being loaded. This was a decrease in loaded car movement of sixteen, but an Increase in total movement of six cars -. . The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton handled at Indianapolis last week 760 loaded tars, an increase over the week ending Sept. of four. The road handled at this point: twenty-nine (ewer empty cars last week than in the week preceding. The Lake Krle & Western last week handled at Indianapolis Go3 cars, .V6 being loaded.

The Madison Car Company, of St. Louis, has commenced the building of five hundred cars for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. G. P. Faucon to-day succeeds M. McKinnon as car accountant of tho B. & M. division of the Chicago, Burlington c Qulncy. The Pig Four will inaugurate a general system cf repairing and repainting way stations and putting in new furniture where needed. 1. C. Joyce, general agent or the Cleveland, Akron & Canton, on Nov. 1 takes a similar position with the Pennsylvania Company. There Is such a demand for scrap iron that the railroad companies are gathering up and selling tho accumulation, in some cases, of years. The official train sheet shows 'that the Plerpont Morgan special was hauled from Puffalo to Chicago, 511 miles. In nine hours and forty-five minutes. The local agencies of the Queen & Crescent and the Denver & Rio Grande, on Broadway, New York, were, on tho first of this month, abolished. M. E. Ingall3, president of the Big Four, spent Sunday at Hot Springs, Va., and today goes to New York to aid in putting the finishing touches to the presidents agreement. F. S. Curtis has been appointed chief engineer of the New York, . New Haven & Hartford, including the Old Colony system, which leaves George S. Morrill, chief engineer of that system, out of a position. On Friday there were handled on the Pig Four system proper 5,777 loaded car, being the largest movement of any one day In the history of the road, with one exception, when thirty-two more loaded cars were handled. The mechanical department of the Pig Four finds that it will cost 23 per cent, more to purchase the machinery for the company's new shops at Wabash at the present time than one year ago. so great has been the advance in articles made from iron and steel. - Clarence C. Moore, son of Trainmaster Moore, of the Pennsylvania, has been promoted to chief of the engineering corps on the r.ew Johnstown branch. This Is considered very complimentary, to the young man, who has but recently graduated from the Ada. O., University. The Illinois Central has arranged, In connection with the Southern Pacific via New Orleans, to run a through sleeping car between Chicago and San Francisco, beginning Oct. 29. and on the 30th a through tourist car will be placed on the same lines to run once a week, The new passenger station of the Panhandle at . Wheeling, W. Va.. s naring completion, and is salcl to be the most attractive and complete building for the pur-.pos-e intended on the Pennsylvania lines. Work on the train sheds is not as far advanced as . on the station proper.. The Grand Trunk has Just placed an order for one thousand new cars; r the Omaha & St- Louia an order for five hundred cars; the Atlantic Coast Line an order for 1.300 cars, and a number of other roads reported to be. in the market for two hundred to three hundred cars. The official report of Col. Oran Perry, general agent of the Pennsylvania dines, shows that in September there were handled at the city freight depots of the company 53,311.581 pounds of freight, representing 4,342 cars, against 51.210.6i" pounds, representing 4.4CI cars, in September, 1S04. At the shops of the Pennsylvania at Altoona a compound ten-wheel freight loco

motive has just been turned out, the first built, of this type. If it proves as powerful as expected, more will be built of the same -type. The Pennsylvania has ordered twenty-live of the 1805 type of Class P engines built at once. It 1s stated that the roadbeds of New England roads and the equipments of New Kngland lines during the depressed times were not kept in a.s grotx! condition as they should have been and they now And that a considerable sum of money must be expended In restoring the physlcaJ Condition of most of the roadbeds and in replacing wornout equipment. The monthly statement of the Railroad Gazette shows that in Aufrust there was the largest number of accidents i. many months and more people killed than In any month since 1S93. In August there were 132 railroad accidents In this country. In which forty-nine persons were killed and 140 injured. The accidents Include fifty-three collisions and seventy-one derailments. Grand Master Morrisey, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainman, has just returned from an extended Western trip and Is much encouraged over the future of the organiratton, feeling confident that the crisis is passed. Since the convention last June the brotherhood has paid a debt of $133,000. met current expenses and claims amounting to $40,000. Mr. Morrisey has row gone to New York to organize new lodges. The recent record made by engineer Rumbaugh, of the Panhandle, in taking a train of seven cars, including two heavy Pullmans, from Pittsburg to Dennison, a distance of ninety-three miles, in two hours and twenty-four minutes, and reducing speed to ten miles an hour at six different places, is consddered one of the best runs ever made on that road. Allowing for the time lost in complying with slow orders, the actual running time was nearly forty-eight miles an hour. A Class P engine, No. 100, was used. Engineer Itumhaugh Is one of the oldest engineers on the road. The hew owners of the Indiana. Decatur & Western are much pleased with the present condition of the property and the manner it is handled. Secretary Smith, who, with n expert, recently went over the road, returned to New York much pleased with the physical condition of the property and the recent improvements made to it. both as to Its roadbed and equipment. He spoke very highly of the present management and has reason to tppak that way, as the annual report thows that General Manager Pelrce turned over to its owners $140,000 net for the year, after paylntr everything. even to taxes, which is the best showing the road has cvir made In the way of net earnings and this. too. in a year when the corn crcp was a poor one and one on which this road largely depends for earnings. The placing of orders for 130.0M tons of steel rails for delivery In November and December and during the first half of ISttt is regarded as evidence that the railway managements look for still higher prices in 1S0G. and if per ton is the price next year it will not create surprise. The price paid for rails under recent orders was $28 per ton, f. o. b., Pennsylvania mills, and $.9 f.. o. b. Chicago, or the rates which were adopted at a recent meeting of the Manufacturers' Association. The members of the latter have renewed their compact for another year on .practically the same lines as those now In force. It is stated that the production will be regulated, work alioted on a percentage basis to the various mills and prices kept on a uniform basis. At the last meeting of the association many membo-rs were In favor of an advance of H but the majority rejected the pro;o;ltlon on the ground that It would attract foreign competition. Among the orders recently placed was that of the Pennsylvania railroad for 4.0u0 tons; the Baltimore & Ohio for 2V CiO tons, and one Southern order for 23,coo. . Vnle nnd Iliirvnril. New York Evening Post. The announcement that Yale hs a smaller freshman clats this fall than lat, while Harvard has a larger, undoubtedly Kurprl3cs the public. For years we hare been assured that athletic pre-eminence wis the mo?t potent factor in attracting students to a university, and Yale's supe

riority to Harvard in this branch of the curriculum was never more pronounced than during the past year. What does it mean, then, that the entering class at Harvard shows a loss, while there is a marked gain at Cambridge? Can It be that the athletic craze is dying out, and that Harvard is profiting by the fact that her faculty have been the first to put restrictions upon the old license in sports?

I.SVItXCR XRWS AXD 1VOTES. The Reliance Fire and Marine Underwriters Association of New York Is undergoing reorganization. John M. Cobb has been appointed special agent of the London Guarantee and Accident Company. He is with Geo. V. Pangborn, general agent for Indiana and Kentucky. Insurance Superintendent Hahn, of Ohto, has advised Local Board Commission No. 1, of the Union, 'to disband, so far as Cincinnati is concerned, as a suit against it does not comply with his ruling. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York has withdrawn from the contest relating to the claim of Frederick Baker, of New York, who was alleged to have committed suicide last November, and has paid the full insurance on h!s life, the policy being for $10,000. The insurance companies which held large policies on Mr. Baker's life have now all withdrawn the allegation of suicide and paid the amounts for which he was insured. The president of a -prominent New York life insurance company recently remarked that the character of a company's representatives largely determined the character of that office's business. He saw that an agent could not work among a class of men higher than himself socially he could reach down, but not lip. He added that the quality of the risks and their persistency as premium payers have notably advanced with the improvement in social, moral and financial standing of the agents. From investigation made under the direction of the Institute of Actuaries it Is shown that out of one hundred marriages eighty-three were fruitful the first year, ninety-one or ninety-two within the first three years, and at least ninety-six within the first five years. In thrs discussion which "these figures occasioned it appears that Mr. Francis Galton had compared the marriages of one hundred heiresses with the same number of dowerless women, and found that the former bore 208 and the latter 336 boys. John D. Jones, the venerable president of the Atlantic Mutual (marine) Insurance Company, of New York, died near Massapequa, L. I., last week. He came to New York a lad and' obtained a clerkship in the office of the Marine Insurance Company. In 1835 he became secretary of the old Merchants' Marine Insurance Company, and later was connected with the Atlantic Mutual, of which he was elected president forty-one years ago. He was eighty-one years old at hi3 death, and leaves a large fortune. The first policy of tho Norwood Fire Insurance Company of New York was issued on Sept. 21. George S. Porter Is its president, Henry Adams, jr., vice president, Andrew J. Armstrong secretary and J. Jay Nestell secretary of local department. The company will write lines of J13,0u0 on storage risks, $10.(X on sprinkled risks and Jo.000 on unsprinkled risks. It has reinsured the business of the Washington Lloyds. Agencies have already been established In nearly all of the prominent cities. The Norwood's capital Is $200,000. It has filed an application for admission to Massachusetts. James Ingersoll Day, I who was for twenty years president of the' Sun Mutual Insurance Company, of New Orleans, and resigned two years ago, died at New London, Conn., a few days ago, aged eightyone years. He went to New Orleans from the North when a youth and amassed a fortune there in the ' hardware business. Removing to New York in 1&5, he became largely Interested in railroad and steamboat enterprises, and established the Narragansett' Steamship Company. He returned to New Orleans after the war and again became identified wdth large interests there. He was the predecessor of the late Leonard M. Finley as president of tho Sun Mutual. In response to his letter of Sept. 4 upon the question of rebating life insurance. Life Insurance Commissioner Merrill, of Massachusetts, has received replies from nearly all of the companies transacting business in Massachusetts. A very large majority of these responses indicate that the companies are in thorough accord with the . commissioner and desirous of joining in the suggested plan for the purpose of suppressing the practice. Up to last Thursday the commissioner had received the unconditional assent of twenty-one of the companies to his plan, four had not written on account of the absence of officers, three had failed to reply, and one had dissented from the plan. I The Northwestern Masonic Aid Associa tion, an assessment concern, has put forth an appeal to its memoers in these words: "To meet an increasing death rate without Increasing the assessment we have been using as much of the general fund (expense money) as could be spared without reducing the fund. There has been transferred from the general to the mortuary fund nd used In the payment of death claims during the past three years over half a million dollars. Tho death rate having still further increased this year, we now find it impossible to meet It fully from the general fund without reducing that fund, which must not be done. An increase In the assessments is therefore found to be unavoidable. The board of trustees have, sought to make this assessment equitable and fair toward all. and It is no higher than it is necessary to make it. The members of all sections of the country' are treated alike, acording to p.ge and contract. The management cannot promise that the assessment will be less in the future. The amount called for is no more than we ought to expect to pay. and when we take into consideration the exceedingly cheap Insurance which we have had in years gone by, the average is very low and should be entirely satisfactory to all." It Is a well-k:?own fact that nowhere in the world do men live their lives as rap-. idly as in the United States. The prosperity and wealth that have come to many, through the development of the vast natural resources of the Western continent, have been potential factors In driving the human machinery at a rate that cannot end otherwise than In total collapse or death. One of the most sericus phases of this abnormal activity of both mind and body is the increase In the number of cases of paresis. Dr. T. S. Clouston, superlntend?nt of th2 Morningside Asylum of Scotland, says: "That malady may be described as a breakdown of the great center of mind and motion in the brain; it always goes from bad to worsa till it renders its victim utterly helpless In mind and body, and kills him in a few years. No cure, and scarcely any mitigation, of this latter-day curse has yet been devised. It is a disease of cities, of restless lives, of active brains In their prime of life at high pressure commonly." In the State of New York alone, more than four per cent, of the cases committed to insane asylums are suffering from general paresis. The increase In the number of these who are suffering from this distressing disease should serve ns a warning to men who are figuratively burning1 the candle at both ends In the mad race to accumulate wealth. A Similar Cnne. . Buffalo Courier. The story that the "missing link" discovered out West has proved . to be the skeleton of a nineteenth century monkey owned by some cowboys sounds suspiciously like the story of "the row that broke up our society upon the Stanislaus." On that occasion, it will be remembered, while Mr. Brown was reconstructing out of some bones an animal that was extremely rare, Mr. Jones moved a suspension of the rules to enable him to show that the bones were those of one of his lost mules. Whereupon the sarcastic Mr. Brown apologized for trespassing upon Jones's family vault, and trouble began at once, culminating under these painful circumstances: "Then Abner Dean of Angels raised a point of order, when , A chunk cf old red sandstone took him In the abdomen; And he smiled a sickly sort of smile and curled up on the floor. And the subsequent proceedings interested , him no more." It Is due to the professor who discovered the "missing link" to say that his friends sco.T at the Idea that he could not tell the difference between a fossil monkey and the bones of a modern simian. Perhaps the unscrupulous cowboys are trying to have some fun with the man of science. . Ml AVIllnnl for Roosevelt. Detroit Tribune. Miss Frances K.

HAVANA, Oct. 5. The most bloody battle of the present war was fought recently in the country between Soa Arriba and San Fernando, in the Holguin district of Santiago De Cuba. The insurgents were commanded by General ' Antonio Maceo, while the Spanish troops- were commanded by General Exchague. The insurgents, numbering 3,000 infantry and 800 cavalry, laid In wait for Cienral Exchague, who fut in-an appearance-at'the head of 1,200 nfantry and . 300 .cavalrjr. The Spanish troops also possessed ,ono field cannon. General Cxchagua distributed his men in admirable fashion and arranged to fall at specific times on the position held by the Insurgents. The revolutionists, aware of General Exchague's movements, arranged for a strong outpost to check the impetuosity of the Spanish troops. The regular Spanish forces paid very little attention to the small body of men stationed at the outposts and rushed to the main force wherever and whenever the insurgents could be found. The insurgents made a desperate resistance, which . lasted seven hours. The charges of the insurgent cavalry on the Spanish squares were-, not as effective as in other smaller conflicts previously reported. The Spanish cavalry held these attacking parties at tbay and it seemed as though the Spanish artillery was more deadly to the insurgents than formerly. Finally, General Antonio Maceo, seeing his men in a critical situation, rushed to the front with his staff. He had scarcely taken a position in front of the line when he fell seriously wounded. 'His followers at once placed him on stretchers and succeeded in carrying him off the field. As scon e.s it was known that he was wounded all was confusion in the ranks of the insurgents who. according to. official advices received here, were put to flight, leaving upon the field twenty killed men and several wounded. Spanish officials estimate that befora Maceo fell seriously injured, fully 180 dead and wounded insurgents were carried from the field. These officials also assert that manv of the insurrents surrendered, dis.

He also further stated that all the trouble ooald have been avoided had Corbett not insisted on having the fight pulled off in Texas, but he had strong hopes that everything would soon be amicably arranged and then "Gentleman Jim" would either have to fight him or suffer himself to be "branded before the world as a coward." Martin Julian will leave either Sunday or .Monday for Dallas, where he has been summoned for a conference with Dan Stuart. Brady and others. He says that he is going there for business and would see that arrangements were speedily completea for the flfrht. "We have too much to lofe to let this thing fall through now," he remarked, "and the only way for Corbett to get out of fishting Fitzslmmons is for him to back out and we are not goins to let him do that if there is any possible way to prevent it." Fltislmmorra continues to put in hard licks trainins: and he will remain until the L'Oth when he will be prepared to enter the ring In the best condition of his life. Thin ir Now Worrying Sonth fiend. SOUTH BEND. Ind., Oct. 5. According to a Teport about this city, Gavernor Matthews will have an opportunity to exercise his fighting qualities on St. Joseph county. It is said that a sporting man proposes to have a bull fight here next Fourth of July. It is stated he has the animals in training for the event and expects to give northern Indiana a taste of real bull fighting. It is believed that he will not be allowed to have the fight under any circumstances whatever. An abortive attemnt was made last night to pull off a prize fight in the eastern suburbs of the city between W. F. Mayo, of Chicago, and Herman Bernau, of New Orleans, and a crowd numbering about forty gathered to see it, but Sheriff Eberhart and Superintendent Cassldy. with a posse cf policemen, walked In and declared the event off. Later the contestants got together across the line in Michigan. The first round was a hot one and Vernau made such a good showing that his stock went- up. In the second Mayo's superiority began ta manifest Itself, and in the third Vernau was virtually a whipped man, but was given another chance and lasted two rounds morc - ' Where They Will Fljrht. DALLAS. Tex., Oct. 5.-Up to this hour no point has been settled on for the CorbettFltzslmmons flsht. The Indian Territory is melting the wires asking for it for half a dozen towns. There are several representatives down from there putting forth reasons why Ihelr respective localities should have it. There Is i least no serious

thought of going to Mexico. Arizona. Colorado or California, as has been suggested. It Is nearly certain that some nation of the five civilized tribes in the Territory will be selected. On Monday or Tuesday next the Florida Athletic Club will meet in this city and consider all the propositions, and hear each representative at that meeting. Brady will appear for Corbett and Julian for Fitzslmmons. As soon as the place is determined by that meeting it will be given out to the world. This Is the situation on thai point. Then the partially constructed amphitheater will be pulled down, taken to the point selected, and erected and completed within ten or fifteen days. It will be in easy access of Dallas, and pained at little or no expense more than here. Secretary Wheelock says it is an absolute certainty that the fight wdll come off. 'There Is nothing easier than finding ground to fight on," said he. "The plan seems to be to concentrate the crowd at Dallas and go hence to the ring. The Indian Territory is eighty miles above us, and can be made in a three hours' run." Dinner to the Athletes. NEW YORK.

The assignment of General Miles to the command of the army marks the failure of the West Point cabal to prevent the deserved promotion of a gallant officer because he does not happen to have the brand of West Point cn him. The West Point influence has nearly always ruled the War Department, and in this Instance it made a dead set against Miles. Powerful pressure was brought to bear upon President Cleveland and Secretary Lament to pass him over, but they failed to find reasons sufficient to justify them in bowdng to the demand. Political, personal and social pulls were "worked" for many months to prejudice the minds of the President and his War Secretary, but the campaign ha ended in ignominious, defeat, and a vvNlnntir sn'dler is now at the head Of the armies of the Republic, with seven years nt BAtivo BArvioo nhfad of him.
