S. H. CALLAWAY TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE NEW’ YORK CENTRAL. Other Important Change)) on the Vanderbilt .System—Earning.) of P., C., C. & St. L. Linen for February. President Depew, of the New York Central. yesterday auth irized the following statement; “To carry out the policy of greater unity of administration in the Vanderbilt system, the following adjustment of the management will He made after the annual election of the. New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, which occurs on the 20th of April: Chauncey M. Depew will retire from the presidency of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company and become chairman of the board of directors of the New York Central & Huduon River, the Lake Shore, the New York, Chicago & St. Louis and the Michigan Central railroads. S. R. Callaway will succeed Mr. Depew as president of the New York Central & Hudson River Company: Mr. Ledyard will remain president of the Michigan Central. The presidents of the Lake Shore and of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis have not yet been chosen. Cornelius Vanderbilt, in retiring from the chairmanship of the New York Central & litdson River Company and the Michigan Central Company, and Wm. K. Vanderbilt, it. lotiring from the chairmanship of the Luke Shore and of :he New York, Chicago & St. Louis companies, will remain in the directories and continue their interest in the property with which their names have been so long identified, and in which they have such large investments.” The Associated Press is authorized to say, with reference to the foregoing statement, that the Vanderbilt system heretofore has bten hadicapped in competition with lines which run through under one management h. tween Now York and Chicago, like the Pennsylvania, the Eric and the Baltimore & Ohio. The New York Central, the Lake Short, the Michigan Central and the Nickelplate had no other union than a controlling ( v ip it hip In the stock by the same people. C lHctully they had no connection with each oilier except that Cornelius Vanderbilt bemg the chairman of the board of directors "l the New York Central and the Michigan ( nitral, and William K. Vanderbilt of the Lukc Shore and Nickel-plate boards, the harmonious and cordial relations of the two mothers was a bond of union. By this mange the Messrs. Vanderbilt retire from these chairmanships though they remain in the different directories and continue their full and active interest In the prop•*ty. Mr. Depew, by becoming the chairnan of the board of directors of < ach of these separate roads, unites un; office in one person instead of I wo. Through him occupying this position secured a unity of administration and operation in all that relates to the general i rattle of the system as exchanged between in.: s.-veral lines. The Lake Shore, the Michigan Central and the Nickel-plate will have and maintain the name connections ir.oy have always had, because they have all of them done a great deal of business with lines other than the New York Central. hut the New York Central is placed on an equality in the traffic associations and in the competition for through business v. ltli the lines which run through under one control between New York and Chicago. The ahui is one that has been contemplated for many years, without, however, the time ever having arrived until recently when it could be practically put in operation. It has always been felt that such a union would inure to the benefit of the Vanderbilt svstetn. of Its patrons and of the public. * It strengthens In the genera! traffic of the country the position of New York's great road, which lies wholly within the State and will benefit the State and the city It also gives the strength which always comes' from harmonious administration, both to general and local business, to the lines west of Chicago. For Mr. Depew. after thirty odd years of service, it is regarded as a distinct promotion and a recognition of his ability and wisdom. The Messrs. Vanderbilt, by putting Mr. Depew in the official position which they have occupied so long in their own practical way, effect the unity of administration which they sought. It Is believed that this policy will add greatly to the efficiency of the system in its service to tin' public. It does away with the frictions which have frequently arisen between the presidents of the several lines because the chairman of the several boards of directors will be the arbiter through whom must necessarily come a settlement of any differences that may arise, in conversation Mr. Depew said that the Messrs. Vanderbilt felt that if they should die the relations which heretofore existed between the several roads might he broken up by antagonistic Interests, impairing the value of the large investments which they had in ihose properties. Mr. Depew's services with the Vanderbilt system began with his appointment in lvje as attorney for the Harlem Railroad. His duties were soon extended to the Hudson River road, and he was elected a director in the New York Central in 1874. In ISB3 he was elected second vice president and general counsel of the New York Central. He waa elected president of the same road In 1885. and has held the office ever since. In the interval beginning in 1886 he was elected director in ail the Vanderbilt lines. These

Western Joint Tratlie Bureau. The executive officers of the Western fines met in Chicago yesterday to hear the report of the commissioners of the Western Joint Traffic Bureau on the plan of reorganizing that body. The committee recommended that the name be changed to the Western Trunk-line Committee; that the territory to be covered by it be the same as that controlled by the Joint Traffic Bureau; that this territory he divided into four divisions, each of which is to be in charge of one commissioner who shall report to the full committee before taking any action regarding rates, and that the work of issuing tariff sheets and compiling statistics shall be looked after by the commissioners as a whole. The report was adopted as submitted. Commissioner Parker, who was vice chairman of the old organization, will be chairman of the Western Trunk-line Committee. It is not thought that under the ruling of the Supreme Court the committee will be able to take any effective action looking to the maintenance of rates. Personal, Local and General Notes. James Russell, general yardmaster of the Panhandle at Pittsburg, who has been very ill for some weeks, is again on duty. David Wells will on April 1 become the traveling freight agent of the Erie Dispatch, with headquarters at Cleveland, O.

No. 18 yesterday afternoon was the first train to run through from Indianapolis to Louisville over the J., M. & I. tracks since Wednesday of last week. James Bruce, who has been appointed superintendent of the yard terminals of the Wabash lines at Chicago, was formerly a trainmaster on the Panhandle. C. A. Allen, division superintendent of the Erie lines, states that the main line will he double-tracked this season from Gabon, 0., to Jamestown, N. Y. The Evansvill# & Terre Haute is again showing very creditable earnings. Since July 1 the increase over the corresponding period of the previous year is $157 338. The Panhandle has its troubles from high waters so far overcome that the fast mail came through from Pittsburg over the Panhandle tracks and arrived last evening but forty minutes late. Engineer Mcßoberts, of the Big Four, resumed work yesterday after several months of suffering from a broken leg. During the winter he slipped from the step of his engine, fell and broke one leg. The Big Four’s fast horse train oh its last trip made the run from Indianapolis to Bellefontaine in five hours. There were ten carloads of horses and ten carloads of dressed meats in the train. The Chicago & Alton expects to put on a thirteen-hour train between Chicago & Kansas City on April 9. The fastest schedule between these cities at the present time Is fifteen hours and thirty mlntues. The scheduled time of the. fast trains of the Panhandle between Indianapolis and Pittsburg is about eleven hours, but during the clays that the trains were run via Columbus and Crestline it took twenty-seven hours.

The Chicago & Eastern Illinois will on April 1 pay its preferred stockholders a quarterly dividend of D/fe per cent., and the Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis, on the same date, will pay a quarterly dividend of 114 per cent. The meeting of general passenger agents at Buffalo, to settle the rate war to the Northwest and Pacific coast, adjourned yesterday without reaching an agreement.

Klttredge, chief engineer of the Big Four, was In the city last evening. He states that ail divisions of the Big Four are again in good shape and trains running regularly, except the Cairo division, and this will be In order in a day or two. J. C. Currie, of Jersey City, second assistant engineer of the Brotherhood of locomotive Engineers, is in Fort Wayne, and was last evening the guest of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Brotherhood of locomotive Engineers, Fort Wayne division.

The following officials of foreign lines are in the city; Judge Bacon, of the Chicago & Rock Island; Laird, of the Chicago Great Western: Martin, of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas; Spaulding, of the St. Louis & San Francisco, and Bemus, of the Queen & Crescent. The directors of the Big Four held a meeting In New York on Tuesday, at which President Ingalls was present. At this conference it is believed the company decided to build a number of new freight engines of the type of the 700, which is making such a remarkable record. Supervisor Melrose, of the Michigan division of the Big Four, with a large gang of men. has commenced making improvements at Benton Harbor in the way of putting in additional side tracks. Several large lumber firms are about to locate there, and they will be heavy shippers South over the line. The Grand Trunk has made rapid strides since C. M. Hayes, formerly of the Wabash was appointed general manager. Not only have the earnings made a' remarkable increase, but the operating expenses have decreased, so that instead of requiring 72 per cent, of the gross earnings to operate the road 60 per cent, is now accomplishing the same results. The Railway Age predicts that the total expenditures in new railway building in 1898 will he not less than $50,000,000 and may well exceed $60,000,009. It says; “If the construction for the year exceeds that-of last year, us seems probable, by one thousand miles, it means the expenditure during the year of not less than an additional $20,000,000 over that of last year.” The Missouri Pacific has contracted for handling the delegations from New York and contiguous territory to the Master Plumbers’ Association’s convention, which convenes at Sun Antonio April 13, and will put in service at St. Louis one of the handsomest wtde-end vestibaled trains that has ever run South. This train, bearing the New Y’ork delegation, will arrive at St. Louis about 8 p. m. April 19. and leave for the South immediately, arriving at San Antonio the second morning.

The company furnishes the first outfit at a cost of $4.37, on easy payments, but subsequent outfits may be purchased wherever the purchaser pleas*?-. The uniforms ore very neat.”

WOMEN’S MISSION WORK SOCIETIES OF . THE INDIANAPOLIS PRESBYTERY IN SESSION. A Large Attendance and EntlmaiaHin -Spreud of the Gospel in Siam Described. A throng of women, estimated at three hundred, all interested heartily in the foreign missions of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, gathered, with a few 7 of their sympathizers of the sterner sex, in the lecture room of the Second Presbyterian Church yesterday to inaugurate the twen-ty-third annual convention of Women's Missionary Societies of the Indianapolis Presbytery, comprised in the district embracing the towns of Brazil, Bloomington, Columbus, Franklin. Greenwood, Greencastle, fepencer, Hopewell, Southport, Whiteland, Edinburg, Poland and Carp.. Nearly a complete delegation was present and great enthusiasm prevailed in consequence. The church was tastefully decorated with flowers and potted plants, palms being in profusion on the platform, in front of which were vases of vari-colored roses flanking a thick bed of marguerites. After the invocation by the president, Mrs. A. B. Mitcheil, of this city, the routine matters were disposed of. The salutation, “Peace Be Unto You,” the roll call, to which each delegate replied to with a scriptural quotation and the reading of the minutes was followed by an hour of “corner conferences” among those present to promote fraternity. At the afternoon session the devotions were led by Mrs. F. W. Chislett, after which the subject, “Our Meeting: What Have We Brought to It? What Do We Expect from It? What Shall We Carry Home?” was responded to by Mesdames V. H. Fowler, Conrad Cook, R. A. Miles, M. A. Donner, M. A. De Motte and R. W. Miers with appropriate addresses. A paper on "Tact vs. Tracts,” by Mrs. J. B. Young, of Hammond, was well received. The speaker principally dwelt on the idea that tracts without hard personal work were obsolete means of mission work. The most interesting feature of the session was the address of Miss Anna Ricketts, a returned worker ftom the Petehurabee mission in Siam who, in speaking of the work, stated 'that the Presbyterian Church board was the only missionary society working in the Siam field with the exception of two stations maintained by the French Catholics. The natives, although not quick to embrace Christianity, were not in the least hostile or violent. The progress had been great and rapid, particularly among the women, and schools had been established and equipped by native teachers, all converts in the field they worked in. So great has the influence of the missions become that the King and his “second queen” have built and endowed a hospital which has been placed under the control of the mission with no restrictions as to efforts to Christianize the patients who come there. The mission has also established an industrial branch in which the converts and other inmates do much to support the work. In spite of the fact that lawlessness prevails all around the mission to such an extent that it is considered unsafe for natives to go out of doors after dark, all the mission people are safe at any hour. They make known their Identity by carrying a lantern at night and no outlaw even will trouble them in any way. Miss Ricketts reported that Rev. Snyder, well known in this vicinity, is having great success with his “floating mission,” which is located near Bangkok, the capital. Mr. Snyder, after persistent work, has made it self-supporting by good management and now asks no help from the board. An impromptu addition to the programme was made by Miss Josephine Robinson, of this city, who sang “The Holy City.” Discussions as to the proper make-up of programmes, in which suggestions were made promiscuously by those present, occupied some time, and the session closed with an address on “What Can Young Women Do?” by Miss Florence Day, who distinctly showed that the young ladies were a power which, with proper incentive, could do much good in mission work. Last night the devotional exercises were under the direction of Rev. J. A. Miiburn, the pastor of the church, and his impressive manner, together with appropriate singing by the choir, made a fitting prelude to the address of the evening by Rev. Cleeland B. McAfee, of Park College. The subject chosen was “The Word and the World.” The programme for to-day is as follows: Prayer service, led by Mrs. R. V. Ditmars. of Franklin; subject, “The Lord's Encouragement to Christian Workers;” ‘What Have We Done,” answered by representatives from the. several towns in the district; annual reports of the Christian Endeavor missionary work and the report of the secretary of literature. Miss Florence Lanhant; “Looking Backward,” Mrs. H. G. Gaylord and Mrs. W. H. Hubbard; “Summing Up,” Mrs. H. C. Sickles and Mrs. F. F. MeCrea: “The Ideal President. Secretary and Treasurer,” discussed by Miss Maud Hixon, Mrs. J. A. Miiburn and Mrs. Charles Van Nuys. The afternoon session will be devoted to the report of committees, a paper by Mrs. R. M. Stevenson entitled “X Rays on Home Missions,” closing with "The Quiet Hour,” led by Mrs. R. V. Hunter. At the conclusion of business at 3 p. m. the ladies of the church will be the hostesses at a social hour. General Harrison’** Trip East. Gen. Benjamin Harrison left the city for New York yesterday afternoon very 7 suddenly. Various rumors were circulated as to the ex-President's mission. The General however, through his private secretary, K. F. Tibbott, stated that he was called by pressing legal business to New York, where his presence was necessary. Washington, he stated, was not on the route. Push Cart for Their Rooty. Louis Plummer, IS4O North Alabama street, reported to the police yesterday that two boys had broken into his stable and stolen a number of more or less valuable articles, including garden hose, harness and lead pipe. The boys hrd a push cart in which they carried off their booty.

BIDDERS ARE SATISFIED WORKS BOARD MAKES CHANGES IN TELEPHONE SPECIFICATIONS. The "*;U>0,000 Capital Stock” Provision Modified—No Confiscation at End of Franchise. -a In response to the objections made by prospective bidders, as pointed out in yesterday’s Journal, the Board of Public Works yesterday made some amendments to the telephone specifications adopted Monday. It was agreed by the board that in some particulars the specifications, sis adopted, might fail to accomplish all that was desired. In the first place, the statement of Mr. Potts tliat the provision requiring the capital stock to be $300,000 might prevent the proposed trust from bidding, and the objection to it made by the representatives of the Citizens' Co-operative Company, had weight with the board. This provision of the specifications was changed by the insertion of the following words in place of the words fixing the capital stock at $300,000; “Such corporation shall have a capital stock sufficient,, in the opinion of the Board of- Public Works, to guarantee the good faith of the incorporators, the owners of which stock shall be solvent and pecuniarily responsible to the satisfaction of said board.” The provision which is expected to prevent the watering of the stock, which requires that the capital stock shall not be increased without the knowledge and consent of the board was strengthened by the limitation of the amount of capital stock. The board inserted a clause after the above amendment, stating that the capital stock shall not exceed $400,000. The board believed that it would be impossible, even by subterfuge to inflate the stock to an alarming extent with this limitation, as it will require the greater part of the amount of capitalization at the maximum figure to put in the plant and begin operations. Under the. specifications adopted Monday it was provided that, at the end of the twenty-five years of the franchise, unless a new franchise were granted to the company, the latter should be allowed three months in which to remove its tangible property above ground and its wires and cables underground, and failing to take advantage of the opportunity, the property should become the absolute property of the city. This part is stricken out of the specifications and there is inserted a provision that the city, at the end of the-term of the franchise, shall advertise the sale of anew franchise and the company receiving the present franchise failing to receive the new franchise, shall sell its tangible property to the successful bidder at a fair price, the amount to be determined upon by three appraisers, one to be named by the retiring corporation, one by the successful bidder for the new franchise and one by the judge of the Circuit Court. - This latter amendment meets the general approval of prospective bidders and seems fairer to disinterested persons. The terms Hie original specifications would cause a hardship both upon the corporation securing the franchise, in causing it the loss of its property, and upon the patrons of the company, who might at least temporarily be cut off from telephone service, lender the terms of the amendment there will be no cessation in the service, and the company, on retiring, will be paid a fair price for its tangible property.
