RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT iiltti:hmi:ts THIS COMING yeau AVILL DI'PEND OX IHSIXF.SS, Hut Wm .Much Will Bf Done an the Condition of Flnnncei AVI II Permit MlKCclIaneoan Ituilvvny .evB. The maintenance of way departments of tho various roatfs are preparing plana for the Improvements to be made to tracks, bridges, etc., the present year. "All desire to do a good deal, but how much depends wholly on business," said one of the chief engine-era. "If earnings are what Is expected considerable new, steel will bi laid on the Pennsylvania lines and on the Hiff Four system." The liig Four Is now laid with seventy to eighty-pound steel rail from Cincinnati to Kankakee, and much of tho distance from Cincinnati to Cleveland. Most of the steel to be laid this year will be between Indianapolis and Galion, ar.d on the Michigan division, where a heavier rail Is needed. The Monon will require some now steel rail; however, between Indianapolis and Monon it is now laid with a heavy rail, and most of the distance between Monon and New Albany, hut on some of the curve It is propxseU to lay a heavier rail than that now In use. The Morion will thl.s year do a good deal in the way of ballasting: cither with broken stone or gravel. On the Indianapolis division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton. & Dayton ten milos of new steel will be laid and a KOxI deal done In reballastlng. On the Vantlalia twenty-three miles of heavy steel rail has been purchased and will be placed in the track r.s soon as practicable, and should tho earnings bo satisfactory the receiver will probably purchase twenty-live miles more. On the Pennsylvania lines it has not been fully settled what wil! bo done. Sulerlntendent Mansfield, of tho Indianapolis & VIncennes, and Konebrake, of the Louisville division, are preparing statements of what Improvements are needed, which will le submitted to the higher oilleials for approval. Tho carrying out of their wishes depends much on earnings the next few months. Nearly all Indiana lines entered the winter in letter physical condition than ever before; the weather thus far has not leen bard on tracks, and if necessary, said one of the engineers of maintenance . of way, most of tho Indiana roads could go through 1S07 with little expense alxve ordinary repairs to track, bridges, etc. A Minority Stockholder' Plen. In the last few months there have lieen several decisions rendered by the higher utate courts in which It Is set out that tho minority stockholder has rights, and every few days the announcement is made that a receiver is asked for for home road, the proceeding being instigated by some minority stockholder. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company now has such a case. A minority stockholder asks that a receiver be appointed for the Summit illvision of that system. In his petition he asks protection for the class of stockholders of which he is one. The complaint says that the Pennsylvania Company owns ".ivl shares out of Su,2)7 outstanding, and has for many years controlled the board of directors, which consists of eleven persons, eight of whom are now directors or employes of the Pennsylvania Company. Of the $l.07",0o" outstanding bonds the Pennsylvania Company owns JISJ.'piO. He prays for tho appointment of a receiver; issue of an injunction to enjoin present directors and officers from continuing as such: that the Pennsylvania Jtailroad bo enjoined from voting ai an annual meeting prayed for: that the Pennsylvania Railroad be enjoined from enforcing judgment against the Summit branch on notes issued by it. and that the Pennsylvania Company be directed to pay the Summit Hranth Railroad such sums as were paid in excess of just amounts for commissions and freights. A DecUion of (.enernl Interest. An opinion was handed down this week by Judge Haralson, of the Supreme Court of Alabama, which is ko much at variance: with tho ideas of railroad men as to trespassers on railroad tracks that it excites comment. The opinion holds that a pathway along tho railroad track in a thickly settle! neighborhood, anu frequently used by persons, comes within the rule heretofore laid down in reference to railroads entering in or crossing streets of towns and villa ge-s. and that where the population of such neighborhoods is expected to be around and passing on such pathway, it is the duty of railroad employes to be on the lookout at sucli places to guard against inflicting death or Injury, judge Haralson held that under such circumstances the law imputes to those operating the train knowledge of tdie perilious conditions of iersons passing at such a place, and not to provide against it is recklessness such as amounts to wantonness. It is the duty of trainmen, when running through a city, town or village, to keep a lookout for persons who would likely be passing over the track, and there is no rea-son why this doctrine does not apply as well to densely populated neighborhoods in the country as well us to eiiies, towns and villages. It Is the likelihood of peril known to defendant's employes that maKcs tho duty, and not the place Itself. FIrenieni Meeting Adjournn. The regular session of the union meeting of the Brotherhooel of Locomotive Firemen at Cleveland has been concluded. The joint protective board of the Krie road was in session at the Hawiey House yesterday. The members of the board stated that not a single grievance was reported on the i-:rie system. First Vice Grand Master Hanrahan said yesterday that the statement which had been extensively published to the effect that the convention had taken u and discussed the matter of federation between the liremen and other railway employes' organizations was erroneous. This matter, ho said, had boon fully canvasseel by tho last biennial convention and referred Lack to the local lodges to vote upon. Consequently this meeting had no jurtseliction and could not properly discuss the subject, lie said the matter had been referred to in an informal way in the meeting, but that it bad been ruled out.

General Manager Underwood. ef the Soo. was In Chicago yesterday ami arranged for the conference. In the meantime the dale on which tho rates are to go into eifect has been postponed until Jan. ;;.

The Indiana Ai Illinois Central Is proving an excellent feeder to the Illinois Central since put in condition to be operated, the Illinois Central furnishing It with a large miieage of rails weighing sixty pounds to the yard, which was taken up by the latter to make room for its heavier rails. An impression prevails that when a clear title to tho right of way is assured the road will become part of the Illinois Central system. It rightfully should go to the Louisville, New Albany Ai Chicago, and it is considered unfortunate that the Monon let the opportunity to secure control of it slip by. People on the line of the road are anxious that some strong road should come Into possession of it. -" , Hnrncr'n Itevlaed Statnten.

Each volume contains a complete index. In which subdivisions of subjects, as well as main subjects, are alphabetically arranged, requiring only a moment to find any section of law. Senator Horner gave nearly two years' time to tho preparation of this work, and that it should require so muuh time Is not surprising when it is remembered that since 1SS1 there have been seven volumes of acts IssuchI. following seven sessions of the Legislature, and making over twenty-five hundred changes In the laws. These statutes carry the section numbers of the PSi Revised Statutes, where the same ure still in force. The volumes are well bound in law sheep nnd sell for $12 per set.

LEGAL AID TO THE POOR

AVOIIK OF TIIK CHARITY OIIGAMZATIO.VS III It HA I' OF Jl'STICB. Annual Report SIiowsj Mnny fases of Chattel MorlKitKe Loans) Where Money Was Saved. The annual meeting of the Bureau of Justice of the Charity Organization Society was held yesterday at Plymouth Church. This department of the organization is intended to render legal aid to those who are unable to pay for It and would suffer on account of their inability to secure legal assistance. Samuel Ashby Is the attorney of tile bureau. In his report he says: "During this time (since the fall of forty-live cases have Letn considered on applications of persons in neeel and distress. These people have come to my office on an average of at least three times, consuming a great deal of time. Advice has been given in ail and some action taken In most of the caes. The cases are classiiitd as follows: Chattel mortgage loans, twentyone; sales on the Installment plan, lour; cruel treatment of wife by husband, three; mistreatment of children, two; wife desertion and failure to support, four; divorces, two; mutual benefit society, one; incoiriglble boys, two; labor claims, one; miscellaneous, rive; total, forty-live. "As a general rule the persons above referred to were ignorant and easily imposed upon, or were persons who were out ot employment and had no money or property with which to help themselves. 1 believe that the persona to whom we have rendered assistance are honest ana worthy. "As noted, above, almost one-half of the cases acted upon have been chattel-mortgage loan cases. It would serve no good purpose to give a detailed statement of each particular case, fou. generally speaking, these cases are all alike. A loan IS made, usually upon household furniture, for a short length of time at an extortionate and outrageous rate of interest and usury. The party who makes the loan, no matter how fc-mali, is required to pay the costs of examination of the property ollered for security, the preparation of the papers and the recording of the same, and the total cost to the party varies from 50 per cent, to 3o0 per cent. "It might be well to give one or two cases to Illustrate the general workings of the business. In one case a party borrowed $25 and paid back $28.50 in payments of $2.00 per month, and the mortgagee still demanded $23.75. which. If the borrower had paid, would have made the cost of the loan to him 270 per cent. In this case $22 was saved to the borrower. "In another care the party borrowed $25 and paid back $2.50 per month for eighteen months, or $43. and fl.oO a month for live months, making $7.50, or a total of $52.50 which was actually paid back by the borrower, and the mortgagee was still demanding $15 at the time the case was brought to our attention. The $15 was saved to the mortgageor and her note and mortgage secured, with her mortgage satisfied of record. ' "In a great majority of cases the money which a party obtains on a chattel mortgage proves to be of no benefit whatever. They get It In the first instance with some small business venture in view, which often ends in a failure. When the time of payment comes they do not have money enough to make a small payment and secure an extension or renewal of the loan. They frequently have their loans renewed several times, and in a short while the amount they have paid for renewals Is more than the original amount they received, with no credit on the original amount at all. Then the party will go to another loan agent and pay the usual costs and expenses for such loans, only to have the same experience repeated, and probably have to make another loan to pay off that company. "I believe it would be letter for all such people If the law prohibited such loans, or rather if the law were such that it would not be profitable or safe lor the loan agent or company to attempt to charge and ctIlect such rates of usury. This could be accomplished by making It a crime' for any party to charge or collect, either directly or Indirectly, more than a specified per cent., or provide by law that in every case where the contract for a usurous Interest was made or where the party attempted to collect an illegal rate of interest by indirect means, such as high and unreasonable charges for expenses, that it should vitiate the whole contract and mortgage, and the party should forfeit not only his legal interest, but also his principal. 1 also believe that it would be a good thing to provide by law that the holder of every chattel mortgage should be required, when they receive money from the mortgageor, to give a receipt for tho same, which receipt should give the date and state the amount of payment, the amount of loan, the rate of interest and to what the payment was applied. whether principal or interest or both." After this report was made out Mr. Ashby secured the settlement of two other chattel-mortgage case's, whereby the borrowers were saved the payment of $11.50 demanded by the lenders. In his report Mr. Ashby also touches on the question of Justices of the peace. He thinks they should lie oaid a salary and made to turn all of their fees into the public treasury. After the reading of the report by the attorney the following officers were elected: Chairman H. C. Iong. Treasurer Lou Is Reese. Attorney Samuel Ashby. Executive Committee H. C. Long, Itev. F. H. Gavlsk, Bement Lyman, H. J. Mllligan. George Mcrritt. Morris Ross. E. C. Reynolds. James K. Roberts, Iuis Reese. Finance Committee Iouls Reese, James E. Roberts, Bement Lyman. A legal committee of three II. J. MUllgan. Samuel Ashby and Morris Ross was appointed to draft a bill to be introduced in the Legislature covering the evils mentioned in the report. SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Jan. 2S, 11)7 Acts ill, By DAVIS W. CLARK. The Beautiful elate of tho Temple rose reventyfive feet in height, covered with thick plates of Corinthian bronze, the comiiosltlon of which is now a lost art. It was richly chased and shone resplendant. This unique iortal, proudly described by Josephus as Immensely massive and beautiful, Is in itself sufficient answer to Kobert Ii.gersoH's affirmation that the Second Commandment was .the "death of art among the UebrewE." The juxtaposition of the beautiful and the repulsive, everywhere observable in this world, is well symbolized by "the gate" and "the cripple." Tho gale towered In all Its storied splendor; the man groveled on Its golden threshold, maimed and impotent. Sin makes this paradox: Black, hideous, cold, ind dreary; Man's curse, not God's, Is here. .Two Galilean fishermen, disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, ure entering the temple at the hour of evening prayer. They are Jum passing from the court of tne t.entlle ti tho court of the. women. They see and admire the gate which ad.mt them. But 1ft their patriotic and re!igiua lorvor they fail not- to be iiumanitauan. They see. the cripple also. The apostles are not content with giving the unfortunate man a pitying glance or a charitable coin. It is theirs not to palliate, but to cure. They set him uron his feet. In the joy of his conscious deliverance from his malady, he goes bounding into the temple from which his lameness had excluded him and makes It vocal with hi praise. This notable miracle served as a bell to call an audience. They gathered hastily, and, as by instinct. In the ample shelter beneath the cVriar roof, 8Upiorted by Its forest cf marble oolumrs, that loely cloister named In honor of the temple's first builder. . i'eter, that "mouth of the apostles," stand3 forth again, as on Pentecost, with tmt and courage, to avail himself of the miracle and explain and enforce thereby the gospel of the klnKdcm. As on that occasion he fo'ind common ground with his hearers by quoting David and Joel, so now h refers to Abraham and Jacob. He ehows Christianity to be an evolution of Judaism.
