He said that while h and his companions were in St. Louis he was overcome by heat and when he recovered consciousness lie had beti in a hospital for a long time. He managed to work his way down the Mississippi river to his home. In August Mrs. Fried richs received a letter from Currie. from Trenton. N. J., saying that ho and Frledrichs had remained together until they arrived at Syracuse, N. Y., where they became separated in a railroad yard. Later Mrs. Friedrichs heard of Currie in Falkville, Ala., and went to him. hoping; to get some news, but in the meantime he had bet-n injured by a train and his kull was fractured. His condition was such that he could give no information. Friedrichs was a great lover of the stage, and it is believed that he Is now traveling with some dramatic company.

DIFFERENTIALQUESTIONS

THE AniIITIlATORS DECISION DOES NOT GIVE SATISFACTION. ChlrnRo Clnlnin that St. Louln In Favored In Katen Itumur that Ilrlce WiMheM to Control the Monou. A general passenger atjent says that the board of arbitrators of the Joint Trafilc Association did not show much courage in its decision on the differential questions which have been brought before it, especially as to iasenser differentials between Buffalo and Chicago. He thinks the matter certainly was not decided on its merits. The step was taken at the suggestion of the Erie, that road hoping to compel the Lehigh Valley, with ita fast train, to charge extra fare, as did the other roads making the run in the same time. The Erie asked the arbitrators to settle the question as to the rates of fare based upon speed of trains between New York and Chicago, not between Itself and any individual line, but u decision covering the wholo matter. In other words, the arbitrators were expected to establish a principle or rule to govern the making of rates of fare via all trains exceeding a normal speed by all routes, and applicable to every class or character of service. But the arbitrators have left the matter in such shape that tho wholn question of passenger service between New York and Chicago can hereafter be brought, up and again acted on. Instead of settling the matter as was expected, the question Is liable to be sprung again any day and give the Joint Trathc Association further trouble. IIoKn Hallway Ticket. It Is claimed by railroad men that tho brokers and retainers who were arrested in Chicago yesterday were those who were charged with the putting out of several hundred counterfeit tickets of supposed issue of prominent Western roads in August and September last. Thete tickets were honored by nearly every prominent road running east and southeast from this city and represents losses to those lines of several thousand dollars, which the scalpers and their retainers received. The pending amendment ot the interstate-commerce act, it is claimed, will stop such, rrauds on the railway companies and the traveling public. The railway people claim that unless they can be protected in some uch manner they will eventually be forced to discontinue most of their through ticketing arrangements now in effect, as the number of cases of successful counterfeiting and sale of such tickets is increasing rapidly, and, owing to the fact that it can be done vithout discovery for several months afterward, it is impossible to detect and punish the parties implicated, as they can destroy all evidences of their practices long before the railways can. in due course of business, learn anything thereof. Personal, Local nnd (irnernl Noten. , J. W. Barbee. general live stock agent of the Cotten Belt road. Is dead. The mileage books of the Michigan Central are now accepted for passage on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. J. M. Seymour will on Feb. 1 become contracting agent of the Baltimore. & Ohio at Columbus. O.. a newly created position for the Baltimore & Ohio. The passenger department of the Vandalia is seeking to increase Its business from points on its lines to Louisville and Cincinnati by Its Indianapolis connections. The Order of Railway Conductors in Kansas City has passed strong resolutions opposing tho States of Kansas and Missouri reducing passenger rates to - cents per mile. An official of the Pennsylvania road states that President (Jeorge B. Roberts is still a very sick man and in a very critical condition, the chances being against his recovery. The Board of Trade of Lima is said to be making good headway In securing the iZLim the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton asks as a subt-idy for rebuilding its shops at that point. Experts who have examined the device invented by A. H. Thorp, assistant general manager of the Ohio River road, of block signaling for railway trains, say it is superior to any device of that character yet introduced. Two years ago yesterday the Vandalia suffered a serious wreck at Coatesville, the cost of which to the company has been reported at Jl'm0, while it has compromised every claim and the sum does not exceed 1108,000. Notwithstanding the fact that the Like Erio & Western is known as the naturalgas route and passes through the best oil legions of Ohio, it requires 4.r0 cords of wood annually to supply the full needs for different purposes. Plans and specifications have been prepared for an interlocking plant at Lafayette at the crossing of the Monon, tho Wabash and the -Lake Erie & Western by the ig Four. The plant will be the largest on the Big Four system. Tho Chesapeake & Ohio earned In the third week of January $213,604. u Jecreasw an compared with the corresponding week of 1SW of $S.,X. Since July 1 the road has earned $.-.f;7.t')l. an increase over the corresponding period of the preceding year of 1123,573. , The board of manaerers of the Joint Trattlc Association has declined to give the Baltimore cc Ohio and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern a greater differential over the Chesapeake At Ohio and the liig Four or Baltimore, Washington and St. Louis business. George A. Sehmoll. a mechanic in the shops of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago at Fort Wayne, has been appointed general foreman of the company's shops at Crestline. O. Mr. Sehmoll entered the service of the company at Fort Wayne in as an apprentice. Local Agent Rodney, of tho Vandalia, stated yesterday that the road brought into Indlapapolls on Wednesday two full trains of block coal from Brazil. It Is the tlrst time such a thing has occurred since natural gas. was Introduced at Indianapolis seven years ago. J. I. Head, claim agent of the Wabash. was in the city yesterday. He says that in his long connection with the road he has never known the claims against the company to be so well cleared up as at present, there being but few important matters awaiting adjustment. With each week the new five-thousand-mile Interchangeable ticket is Increasing in sale. Tho fact that it is good over fortythree roads makes it a very convenient book to a person who travels much, as all important railroad centers In the central States are reached by it. Colonel F. 11. Maulton. whoso death was announced a day or two atro. was the oldest civil engineer in the West, lie at one time was chief engineer of the western division of the Wabash and tho Iron Mountain road. In IXitl he built the Lexington ft Frankfort road, of which Henry Clay was at the time president. William It. McKeen. jr.. one of the officials of the shops of th Vandalia Company at Terre Haute, devised and put in operation a swinging trolley system for the shops which has proven a great success, two men doing with it the work of lifteen men. It is used to move heavy pieces around to different parts of the shops and Is ofH-rated by compressed air. General Manager Beach, of tho Pittsburg & Lake Erie, last year operated that system on CV.Z't per cent, of the gross earnings. Mr. Beach left the Rig Four May I, lv'. and has since held the position to which he was re-elected on Wednesday last. The net earnings of the road the last year Were I1.SS4.0S1. ,". i.n increase over the net earnings of the preceding j'ear of A railway official high In authority said yesterday, when speaking of the present management of the Wabash, that Joseph Ramsey, general manager, had dropped into the right place. President Ashley anil others of his superior clllcers are much pleased with the manner in which he is handling the property, and on the other hand Mr. Ramsey has made himself very popular with the subordinate officials anil the employes generally. Another light is on between the shippers of Chicago and St. Louis. The Chicago business men allege that St. Iouls merchants can ship to any point In the Northwest at an advance of i tents over the ChlcMgo rate, recardless of distance, while the Chicago business man or shlpjx-r who wishes to ship to Southwestern points must pay -0 to -. cents t one hundred pounds more than does the St. Louis merchant on the same class of freight. The rojort Is revived that the Price syndicate is in fair way to tern re control of the Lmlsvllle. New Albany tt- Chicago aft:r It- Is reorganized. There is no person at this point who gives the rumor anv credit, but on Tuesday Vic President anil (lejural Manager McDoel. who Is aIo receiver of the Monon. said that everything was moving smoothly in the reorganization

and the same parties woflld be at the head of the property after the reorganization was perfected. George Lowell, general superintendent of the Monon, says the success of the four-hour-and-forty-five-m!nutes train over tho Monon between Indianapolis and Chicago has convinced him that the distance can safely be covered in four hours and fifteen minutes by eliminating two or three stops, and it will be accomplished when the company gets its new "engines, which are constructed to make faster time than those, tho company now has, which are classed as very superior locomotives. D. B. Martin, general passenger agent of the Big Four, was in the city yesterday for the first time since the company's new olfices at Washington and Meridian streets were completed. He pronounced these the most cheerful and inviting ticket offices in the countrv. and added that he was not rurprised that the parsenger business of the Big Four out of Indianapolis this month was showing o handsome an Increase over January, rST. He confirmed the report that the local ticket office of tho Big Four near the Union Station will be closed on Feb. 1. The understanding now is that Samuel Hice. agent, will be appointed city passenger agent and Wright S. Jordan will again assume the duties of traveling passenger agent. Indications are that the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton moved none too quickly In taking steps to establish electric service to handle its suburban business at Cincinnati, as already there are two rival companies In the field for right of way between Cincinnati and Dayton. In addition the C, H. & D. Railway Company recently Incorporated a subcompany for the purpose of operating an electric service over its steam tracks. Now comes the Cincinnati & Hamilton Electric Street-railway Company, capital stock HO.OuO. divided into two hundred shares of $."0 each. The incorporation Is formed for the purpose of operating a street railroad between Cincinnati and Hamilton with electricity or other power, except steam. The intention Is to carry passengers, baggage, express matter and United States mail, and the privilege of extending either terminus is reserved. Travel to the South, particularly to Florida, has increased materially of late. Railroad men ascribe the increase in traffic to the severe old weather throughout the North and West during the last few days. The Plant system officials report the largest number of tourists on its lines that have been carried at any time within three years. All of the hotels of the Plant system. Including the Tampa Bay, the Ocala House, the Seminole at Winter Tark, and the Belleview at Bellealr (Clearwater) have entertained more visitors than at any time since lSI'-V The Plant lines have been getting out some novel advertising matter, descriptive of Florida. A book has been got out on bicycling on the west foast of Florida, and some advertising cards have lecn issued which are among the most novel ever issued. These present a ierfectly plain surface, but when a little load from a pencil Is scraped on the surface cf a card and it is rubbed lightly with a piece of cloth, pictures are developed which are characteristically tropical. FIRE LOSSES FOR 1896

REACHED .d7,U74, WITH I XS FRANCE THREE TIMES THAT AMOUNT. Animal. Report of the Fire DepartmentNeed of Nonlnterferlni; Alarm Doxcm Police Station Sites. The chief of the fire department filed his annua report with the Board of Safety yesterday. Besides a few recommendations, it conti'ns a large amount of statistical matter. The expenses of maintaining each fire comptny are set out In detail. There is a full roster of the members of the department, with their residences and the house In which they are stationed. The chief asks that a ladder truck be purchased and stationed at the house at Morris street nnd Midison avenue. This house Is near a large number of factories, many of them occupying buildings four and five stories high. The nearest truck is now nearly a mil? from these factories. He renews the recommendation that the old-style fire alarm boxes be removed and new noninterfering boxes bo purchased to take their places. Last Wednesday morning, two alarms came in at the same time from two of the old-style boxes. The result was that the department was considerably confused and there was a delay In reaching the fire. The work of the tower watchman is highly commended. Last year 110 of the 371 alarms were sent in from the tover. and many of these were for tires in the downtown district, where a deia of a few minutes would have caused the loss of thousands of dollars. Last year the department apparatus traveled 7,90o miles in answering 571 alarms. The different companies worked 1,511 hours and laid out S;7.72" feet of hose. Fourteen fires were cnused by electric wires, sixteen resulted frcm explosions of gasoline, thirteen from lamp explosions and only two as the result of the use of fireworks.

The Board of Works has sent letters to tho owners of the property desired for the new police station asking what they will ask for It. Half of the lot south of the police station belongs to M. L. Maloney. who will sell for $5.0K). while L. J. Metzger wants $8,000 for the other half. Robert Denny asks $3,500 for the lot owned by him In the rear of the station, while the Manufacturers' and Carpenters' Union wants $5,000 for its lot. This makes a total of $22,500. which the lxard considers too much. If satisfactory prices cannot be. obtained condemnation proceedings will be begun in the Circuit Court. An offer of the Yandes lot. just south of the proposed site, and the same size, has been received, with the ngreement to take the police station property in exchange. No price has been named. The only advantage of this offer would be that the city could ute tho present police station while the new one Is being constructed. SOME THINGS IN HELL. Sam Smnll Entertaln-i a Y. M. C. A. Andlenee with Description. Sam Small spoke to a fair-sized audience last night at the V. M. C. A. Hall on "Howfar from Indianapolis to Hell." He said in the begint ing, that some people may have thought that the subject and the talk would be merely a catch-penny affair , for the purpose of making people curious. He said ho would change tho opinions of those people before they had heard his talk, and ho did. Tho only reference made directly to the subject was the statement that the di.?trnce from this city to hell is just a little shorter than the distance to heaven. To substantiate this, he quoted from the last chapter of Revelation, where it is said that without (just outside of heaven) are the various ones who cannot enter heaven on account of their sins. "Just outside of the gates of heaven," said Mr. Small, "is hell, and all cf you who have not clear passports to heaven will land just outside the gates in hell. That is certain, for there are only two places to go after this life, and If you don't go to one you will go to the other." For an hour and a half Mr. Small talke d of heaven and hell, and Interspersed his talk with odd savings, all of which had sharp points that drew strong lessons of morality and Christianity. He did not announce his subject for to-night, for he had not decided what it would be. He said that either Sunday afternoon or evening he would take for his subject. "Sixty Minutes in Hell." Incorporation . Articles were filed with the secretary of state yesterday Incorporating the Meridian Life and Trust Company, of Indiana; the Goshen Buggy Company, capital stock $10,(VK); and the Manufacturers Shoe Company, of Indianapolis, capital stock. $25.u.

THE K. OF "P. LITIGATION

SUPREME COURT'S DECISION IN THE KOERNER LODGE CASE. A Partial Victory for the Subordinate uml a Partial One for the Cirand Lodue. The Supremo Court yesterday reversed the judgment against Koerner Lodge, Knights of Pythias, obtained by the Grand Lodge, depriving the former of its property. The Judgment was granted because Koerner Lodge had adopted a resolution to secede from the Knights of Pythias and form a lodge of the Indiana Zeltung Bund. Koerner Lodge was composed of Germans, and threatened to withdraw from the order because of a law passed by tho Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, requiring that all rituals printed in the German language should be surrendered, and that the ritual and work of all lodges should be only in the English language. The Grand Lodge claimed that the adoption of a resolution by Koerner Lodge to secede worked a dissolution of the lodge. The court, by Judge Jordan, said: "There is no daim that appellant had been dissolved by virtue of any action or proceeding had by the Grand Lodge in accordance with its constitution or other canons of the order prior to the beginning of this suit, but the adoption of the resolution is relied upon as ipso facto effecting a dissolution of Koerner Lodge, and thereby giving the former, under its constitution, the right to the possession of its properly, regardless of any subsequent action of tho lodge, or of nine or more of its members In opposition to the alleged dissolution. As -we have seen, the laws of the order forbid a voluntary dissolution or surrender of a lodge's charter in the event there are nine members willing to continue the organiiation. The policy or punose of this rule manifestly Is to prevent a dissolution of a subordinate lodge unless it be effected as near as practicable by unanimity upon the part of its members. If there are nine or more loyal ones, who are willing to sustain their organization as a lodge and continue its existence and operations in obedience to the rules, regulations and 'laws of the rder, then a voluntary dissolution of the lodge, as such, cannot result, even though It be tho will,. 'end desire of a large majority of Its memlerp, except by the permission of the Grand Lodge or its chancellor." While the reversal of the case seems a victory for Koerner Lodge, the Grand Lodge also claims a victory, because the decision sustains the contention of the Grand Lodge that it has a right to direct that the work of the lodge shall be conducted in the English language, and holds that the Grand Lodge Is the trustee of the property of those who refused to go out with Koerner Lodge. ShneUIeforil and Mr. Ray. The jury in the damage suit of Sarah Shackleford against Margaret E. Roy failed to agree and was discharged yesterday by Judge Carter. This Is a peculiar case, in which Mrs. Shackleford asked $10,000 "damages for the alienation of her husband's affections. James H. Shackleford, the plaintiff's husband, testified that he is ixty-six years of age and his wife Is fifty-nine years old. They lived on a farm near MI1Iersville until life became unbearable and then Mr. Shackleford went to work for Mrs. Roy, who owns a dairy near the Shackleford farm. Mr. Shackleford satd that his wife has been jealous of him for years and was constantly accusing him of various offense against his marriage vow. Later Ids six sons grew to manhood and they added to ids discomfort by collecting all money that ame in on the farm and refusing to allow him to have anything to say in the management of the farm or money. Finally they told him, he says, that ho could remain on the farm and they would pay him CO cents a day and his board, the same as other laborers. This was the last straw and he left the place, going to Mrs. Roy's dairy, where be has since lived and worked. It was charged by the plaintiff that Mrs. Roy took Mr. Shackleford to Niagara Falls last summer and remained there with him several days. Mrs. Roy and others testified that she had simply furnished the old man a ticket and that he went to ' tho falls on the same tralii with Mrs. Roy and her sister, but that they saw little of him during their stay and that he paid his own expenses, except his railroad fare. A Pair of Chenille Curtains. J. K. Cooper, an agent for an Indianaavenue installment house, was charged in Police Court yesterday with larceny. The complaint was made.-by Mrs. Kate Haddick. of 24 Howard street. She said she bought a pair of- chenille curtains from Cooper and that he came to the house to take them and got ths wrong pair. Cooper had a pair of curtains Jn court, which Mrs. Haddick said were not the ones taken from her house. Judge Cox acquitted Cooper, but told 3irs. Haddick to keep the curtains Cooper brought into court until they were taken from her by legal process. Didn't Pay It to HI Tenant. Yesterday Judge Allen Instructed a jury to return a verdict against Christian Wishmeler In favor of Charles Nonn and William Henderson for $110, with the cancellation of all claims of Wishmeler agdnst the plaintiffs for rent. The trustees of the Hospital for the Insane desired to build a sewer through Wishmeier's land and h greed to pay $2uO for the privilege, the money to be used in paying the tenants. Nonn and Williams, for the loss of their crops. The money was paid to Wishmeler, but he refused to pay It over to the renters. Sue the Halcyon nioek Owner. Maud Bailey, colored, is suing John M. Gaston, owner of the Halcyon block, at New York and Delaware streets, for $5,000. The case Is on trial by jury In Room 3. Superior Court. The plaintiff claims that on Nov. 27 she stepped on the cover of a coal hole in front of the Halcyon block and fell through the hole on account of the cover being improperly placed. THE COURT RECORD.

Held, that the minutes of a subsequent meeting of the subordinate lodge were admissible in evidence wherein they corrected the minutes of a previous meeting in which there was a resolution passed by. a minority of the members to dissolve the lodge. 177C-.

To back an engine and cars across a street in a town at the rate of eight miles an hour without sounding the whistle or ringing the bell, or without having some one on the car to give warning of its approach.
