THE DEAL MISCARRIES * THE MONOX FAILS IS SECURING CONTROL OF CRAWFORD’S ROAD. Another N'orth-and-Sonth Line to Be Bnllt in Ohio—Seal pern Elated Over the Action of Congress, ' ♦ On Saturday, when W. H. McDoel, vice president of the Monon lines, left for New York, the understanding was that while he was there the deal would be closed by which the Chicago & Southeastern would come under control of the Monon. the terms having been practically agreed on, but yesterday a telegram from New York slated that at the last moment a hitch occurred In the negotiations, and it is not now probable that the deal will ever be consummated. The reason for the failure of the sale to the Monon is not stated. At the last meeting of the stockholders of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville, while the matter had not been made public, it was voted to issue stock for $1,000,000, the proceeds from which were to be used in purchasing the Chicago & Southeastern, and with that expectation a plan was devised by which the Chicago & Southeastern could be completed at once to Muncie, the talk of the Pennsylvania Company furnishing the money having been advanced as a blind. Harry Crawford is practically the owner of the road, and so much trouble has he experienced with It that it would be naturally supposed he would be glad to unload it. It is stated in this connection that the rumor the Monon had been purchased by the Big Four had nothing to do with the breaking off of negotiations, as there is no foundation for the statement Jhat the Big Four wanted the Monon. The business of the Monon is now very satisfactory, its roadbed and equipment are in excellent condition, and the earning outlook is very promising. The survey for nine miles of road from Harrodsburg to Clear Creek has been completed, and orders given to proceed with its construction. When completed the heavy grade at Smithfleld -will be avoided and some valuable stone quarries opened.

In Receivers’ Hands Again. The Chicago. Peoria & St. Louis Railroad, after being out of the hands of a receiver for over a year, Is again In a receiver’s hands. Judge Alien, in the United States Circuit Court at Springfield, 111., yesterday, on the appplication of the Mercantile Trust Company of New York, and Louis Fitzgerp’d. trustee for the reorganization company, appointed Sa.nuel P. Wheeler, of this city, ami Charles E. Kimball, of New York, receivers. The action under which the receivers were appointed was to foreclose a mortgage of $5,275,000, executed Feb. 1, 1898. The railroad defaulted on its January, 1898, Interest. The road runs from Glen Carbon, 111., to Peoria, via Springfield, A Good Month’s Work. Statement for month of June, 1898, of revenue gained for joint-rate inspection bureau in district in charge of J. B. Eckman: Indianapolis, $7,046.86; Terre Haute, 57.307.28'; Louisville, $2,833.44; Evansville, $1,474.86; Vincennes, $455.03; total, $19,117.47. Personal, Local and General Motes. V. T. Malott, receiver of the Vandalia, has gone to Atlantic City for a few days’ stay. Charles Merrill, Western passenger agent of the New York Central lines, was in the city yesterday. W. Davis, for many years agent of the Vandalia at Rockville, will be buried today at Crawfordsville. The Big Four is handling on Its system an average of 4,000 loaded cars a day, against 5/00 or more in April, May and June. The Lake Erie & Western earned In the second week of July $54,999. an increase over the corresponding week of 1897 of $1,413. The Pennsylvania lines, in connection with the Vandalia, on Sunday had three trains to Lake Maxinkuckee, carrying over 1,000 excursionists. Train 20 on the Panhandle yesterday afternoon was hauled by two locomotives, there being twelve cars, including six Pullman sleepers. A. Hutching, agent of the Vandalia at Crawfordsville. has obtained a month’s leave of absence to go to North Dakota on a pleasure trip. The Lehigh Valley claims to have the smoothest track of any road in the country. Its entire length the main line" is now laid with the continuous rail. For ten days past the Knickerbocker, over the Big Four, has left Indianapolis for Cleveland with one to two extra sleeping cars, making four in all. R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City, who Intended to leave for Toledo last night, was taken so ill that he was obliged to remain hem The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has come to the conclusion that the train newsboys are a nuisance, and has issued orders net to permit them on through trains hereafter. Wesley Kipp, who has been with the Missouri Pacific at Kansas City for thirty years, is in the city visiting N. H. Kipp, his brother, who represents the Empire line at this point. Os the eleven big freight locomotives which this month will be sent to the Panhandle Southwestern system, five will be put in service on the Indianapolis and six on the Chicago division. D. S. Gray, who represents the Pennsylvania lines on the board of managers of the Joint Traffic Association, is at home arranging to go with his family to Lake Chautauqua for a month's stay. The Vandalia on Monday commenced building at its shops In Terre Haute fifty coal cars of anew pattern, with a capacity of 80,000 pounds. On Monday these shops commenced running but eight hours. The shop men of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois will hold a picnic JUly 22, at Momence. and employes in other departments will picnic there on July 29. the company In both case® furnishing a special train for their accommodation. A. J. Hammond, of Frankfort. Ind., will exceed H. S. Moore In the office of the chief engineer of the Vandalia lines. Mr. Hammond Is a graduate of the Rose Polytechnic and has been city engineer of Frankfort since graduation, in 1889. The Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific and several other of the big Western systems have decided to give shippers passes to go with stock wherever it is consigned, but will not give them return passes, so much has the plan been abused. LoweU - general superintendent of the Monon lines, was in the city yesterday. He states that the company is taking from the Bedford stone quarries from sixtv to seventy carloads of stone a day. a large per cent, of it going to Eastern points. J. F. Lawes, superintendent of motive power of the Chicago Ac Eastern Illinois, has just turned out of the company’s shops Engine 100. It is a rebuilt engine, with a number of improvements, and It is expected it will be the fastest on the road with a train of six ears. The Monon is receiving its new flat cars from the Haskell & Barker car works Michigan City, at the rate of ten a day until 2~,Q shall be delivered. These cars are forty Seei long, with 80,000 pounds carrying capacity and designed especially for the Southern lumber trade. in the month of June not an employe on the Indianapolis, the Columbus or Cleveland divisions of the Big Four was dismissed from the service for any reason, neither did one resign during the month, which General Superintendent Van Winkle thinks remarkable on so large a mileage. The ticket scalpers are much elated and •oem eonfident they have outgeneraled the general passenger agnts and that their business is now In better position than before Its legality was brought before Congress and a bill prepared to stop the traffic. They hes© their belief on the fact that the recent test vote on the anti-scalplng bill

resulted In 342 voting against the bill being brought up to be voted on this session against 72 In favor. J. Mesker. joint ticket agent of the Big Four, the Monon and the Lake Erie & Western at the Massachusetts-avenue station, stated yesterday that the receipts from sales of tickets of the Big Four at that station for June were 50 per cent, in excess of those of June, 1897, and those of the other two roads fully 30 per cent, greater. After Aug. 1 the duties of J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four, will be considerably increased. To relieve General Manager Sehaff all terminals of the Big Four system will be put under Mr. Van Winkle’s direct charge. Including the relations of the Big Four with other railroad companies concerning union stations. John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania's Southwestern system, fcpent most of the day here yesterday in conference with M. W. Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, whose duties will be increased after Aug. 1, the Indianapolis terminals of the several divisions being under his supervision. R. C. Jones, traveling passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, is in the city distributing in his territory sixty bronze clocks which are unique advertisements. They are an exact representation of the front of a locomotive, the boiler head being the clock, which is a perfect timekeeper. the pilot making the solid bottom on which the clock- rests. The Boston & Maine Is testing anew train signal which is attracting wide attention among railway officials. The new system accomplishes the following results: It locates and signals every moving train on a roadbed within a mile of another train. Beth engineers receive the signal. The operation of the signal itself is as simple as the ringing of an electric door bell. Fogs, darkness, smoke, tunnels, curves, snowstorms or anything that would tend to obscure the vision of the engineer have no effect upon the system, for vision has nothing to do with it. When a train is stopped on the road a following train or a train coming in the opposite direction on the same track is signaled the instant it gets within the danger limit of a mile. The Central Michigan road, which has been looked upon as a paper line, it is stated, Is to be built, making another north-and-south line from Michigan south to Cincinnati. Hon. J. W. Boynton, one of the projectors of the road, has succeeded in placing bonds enough to build the road from Fostoria, 0., to Grand Haven, Mich. Eventually it is proposed to push the road through to the oil fields of Ohio and the coal fields of Virginia. A portion of the distance the old roadbed of the Mansfield & Colclwater road will be utilized, which has been graded ready for the ties and rails since 1893. Mr. Boynton says the construction of the road will be begun at once, and he expects that between Grand Rapids, Mich., and Pioneer, 0., the road will be completed the present year.

CONDUITS UNDER SIDEWALKS. Coart Refuse© to Restrain New Telephone Company. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, has refused to restrain the New Telephone Company from laying conduits uhder the sidewalk in front of the property of Henry Coburn, on East New York street. Mr. Coburn claimed that the laying of the wires under the sidewalk would interfere with his plan of constructing a basement in connection with the new building being erected by him. Judge Allen held that as the city had granted the telephone company the right to lay conduits he did not desire to interfere with this right. Divorce Complaints. Alma Buchanan brought suit in the Superior Court yesterday for divorce from Charles E. Buchanan, to whom she • was married in February. 1896. They separated in June, 1897. The plaintiff says her husband neglected her and was guilty of cruel treatment toward her. She says he remained out at night and indulged in gambling and fast living. He failed to pay their furniture bills, she avers, and merchants took possession of goods he had bought on the installment plan. Josephine Andrews brought a suit for divorce from Victor Andrews, who. she avers, has failed to support her. They were married in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Oct. 2. 1871. The plaintiff says that for three years Andrews failed to provide for her and she was compelled, with the aid of her son, to support herself. Gas Fitter Meikel’* Trials. Nearly all of yesterday was devoted to the trial of a gas case in the Criminal Court. March 12. last. Edward Meikel, a gasfitter, living at No. 236 North State avenue, was arrested and fined by Justice of the Peace Hay on the charge of burning gas unlawfully. He was accused by the Consumers’ Gas Trust Company. Again, on May 24. he was arrested and fined on the charge of boring out a mixer. This case he appealed to the Criminal Court. Meikel’s wife died last August and his niece and her husband came to keep house for him. The members of the family denied having tampered with the mixer. However, there was considerable testimony to the effect that last winter the family had very scant gas and had to keep a supply of wood and coal on hand most of the time. Jolin C. Rur&ess Released. John C. Burgess, who has been in jail for several months, charged with violating the postal laws, was released yesterday on his personal bond of $2,000. Burgess is about fifty years of age. He was arrested last winter with two men named Thurman and Silvius. They were charged with using the mail for fraudulent purposes and Burgess pleaded guilty. Thurman and Silvius gave bond, and. as the government authorities were not able to try them at the last term of court. Burgess has been held here so that he could give testimony against them when the case was called. The government is not yet ready to try the men and as Burgess's long confinement was beginning to tell on him, it was decided to release him. Her Assailants Ronnd Over. Ashton Jenkins and Arthur Kelley, colored boys, charged with attempting to criminally assault Mrs. Millie Harrison in the woods near Eagle creek, were arraigned in Police Court yesterday and their cases will be investigated by the grand jury. Mrs. Harrison was rescued from the negroes by her husband and brother. Her assailants ran away, but were caught later by Patrolmen Conklin and Hart. In Police Court yesterday the woman positively identified Jenkins and Kelley. Three Mortgage* Filed. Three mortgages were executed yesterday by the Hay & Willits Manufacturing Company. One of the mortgages secures the firm’s general creditors and the other two. aggregating $25,000. are given to Margaret A. Evans. The attorneys for the Hay & Willits Company say the business will proceed, as the assets are much larger than the liabilities. One Court Vs. Another Court. A replevin suit in Justice Sears's court yesterday took a peculiar turn. After the constables of the court had seized the goods, which are now in the hands of Wm. Kotteman, the defendant went to the court of Justice Habich and brought suit for damages against Justice Sears, the constables and Wm. Kotteman. THE COURT RECORD. Criminal Court. John F.

Midsummer dullness was the characteristic of the stock market yesterday. Those who have moiiey to buy stocks on a large scale and those who have large holdings to sell seemed to have gone off for a holiday outing. The bears among the small room traders took advantage of the dullness to hammer at the list here and there. They soid down'Metropolitan Street-railway with some confidence. They had in their favor a rumor of yellow fever among the troops at Tampa and the weak traffic statement of St, Paul for the second week In July, showing a decrease in earnings, compared with last year, of nearly $47,000. Prices of railroad stocks are now from 5 to 15 points higher than they were a year ago, but in the meantime dividend rates have In many cases been Increased and extra dividends disbursed. The world’s available supply of breadstuffs Is not materially greater than It was a year ago, but this country is assured of the largest crop in its history, and the crop of the world cannot be reliably estimated. The price of wheat is in consequence held back and farmers are not bringing the new crop forward, thus keeping down the earnings of the grain-carry-ing roads. Nevertheless railroad companies are making extensive preparations to handle a large grain and merchandise traffic during the coming fall and winter. The situation seems to hinge largely on the price of wheat, or rather on . the grain movement. wfhich Is held back by the failure of wheat to advance. Until reliable estimates can be made of the world’s new crop of wheat and the world’s consequent need for our surplus products speculation seems likely to halt. Bonds were featureless, except that Denver & Gulf firsts advanced 2 points, with a subsequent reaction. Total sales, $2,540,000. United States fives, coupons, advanced % in the bid price.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Trade Good for Midsummer and Price* Steady. So smoothly Is trade moving along in most lines that it is quite difficult to say anything new from day to day. When there are any changes they are very slight, and a steadiness has prevailed in prices for some days which is peldom known. Despite the war few articles show higher prices than in times of peace. Staple groceries are selling well, but no higher prices prevail than twelve months ago. The leather and iron markets are very firm, but prices are no higher than three months ago. In no line is there such activity as to call for comment. Still in all lines there is a healthy volume of business for July. . The local grain market is more active. Wheft and com is in good request.

URGENT WHEAT DEMAND * ALL NEW GRAIN ARRIVING QUICKLY ADSORBED AT AN ADVANCE. * Futures Likewise Scored Gains-Corn Remained Strong Until Neu he Close—Pork Lower. . ■ ♦ CHICAGG. July 19.—Covering by shorts on claims of crop damage from the Northwest resulted in a rise in wheat to-day. September closed l%c higher and December gained Tie. Predictions of general showers broke the corn rally. September left off lower. Oats unchanged. Pork declined 15c and lard and ribs 7%c each. The urgency of the demand for the cash article and the early strength developed by corn started wheat firm. First trades for September delivery were at from 67%c to 6”% c, whereas it closed yesterday t at 67%@ 67*4c. Calls for the day were at from 67%c to 67%c, so that the sellers yesterday of those privileges were at once made anxious. Another encouraging feature was that, while the receipts of new wheat were on the increase, there was a sufficient demand to absorb it all. Bradstreet reported a decrease of 6,746,000 bushels In the world's visible, against 4,256,000 bushels last year, and that was supposed to be the eauie for a considerable rise in prices that started about the middle of the session. Later, however, it was found that those who, by the heaviness of their purchases, contributed chiefly to the advance were influenced by the reported damage by heat to spring wheat in the Northwest. Asa result of these reports, September wheat, that had been listless and fearfully dull all forenoon at about 67%@67%c, became strong and active and rose to 68%@68%c. Prices sagged a trifle near the close on profit-taking. Chicago receipts were 119 ears, 116 of which were new and 22 contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth received 58, against 436 a year ago. (September opened higher, at 67%@67%c, sold up to 68%@68%c and closed at 68%@68 1 / ic. December started %® %q up, at 67%@67%c, declined to 67%c, rose to 68%c, then down to 68%c at the close. Corn had two phases, a bull one early, on dry weather map and hot temperature, and a bear one later, on predictions of general showers. The opening was at c advance on good covering by belated shorts who had stayed out until their position assumed a very dismal outlook. The market did not get beyond the opening quotations, however. as heavy realizing by scattered holders checked the downward tendency. Prices ruled steady at the advance unt.l the weather bureau forecast was out. This proved a shock to the bulls. Thunderstorms and cooler weather were predicted and, the crowd lost no time in getting out short lines, while the demand seemed of a sudden to cease and the offerings were sufficient to break the September price from 34%c to Mile. There was a recovery of *4c from the bottom price near the close, on the bullishness in wheat. September opened %®V£c higher, at 34@34%c, sold off to 33*40. and closed at 33%c bid. A good cash demand held oats steady, despite the slump in corn. September started 1 4@%c up, at 18%@20c, declined to 19*/2C, then rallied to 19%c at the close. Provisions had a good start on the good demand and higher prices at the yards for to-day's run of hogs. Packers were liberal sellers and loaded the market every time a buyer showed himself. Yellow fever rumors weakened the close. September pork opened 5c higher, at $10.07*4, rose to $lO.lO, dropped to $9.62*4, and then recovered to $9.87% near the close.

The offerings aggregated 6,821 bales and consisted of a varied selection, including fine greasy, which sold at full rate3. The general tone to the sale was very firm. During the series 237.000 bales were catalogued. The total number of bales available was 265.500. of which 39.000 were carried over. The total sales numbered 225,000 bales, of which 134.000 were taken by the home trade, 91,000 by the continental buyers and 5(4) by the American representatives. With the exception of cross-breds prices all around at the opening of the series showed an advance of 4 to 5 per cent. During the first week prices strengthened, with scoured and greasy merinos selling at 7%@10 per cent, and fine cross-breds 5 per cent, above the May series., The strength was maintained throughout the stile, with scoured locks and pieces showing the greatest strength and advancing only 10 tier cent, on continental demand. Considering the abundant supply of cross-breds, prices were very satisfactory. The recent increased firmness was evidently due to the anxiety of operators who viewed tbs decreased stocks and the long interval between this and the next series would show a prospective short supply. Following are to-day's sales in detail: New South Wales —600 bales; scoured, B%d@ls 5%d: greasy. 6%@9%d. Queensland—6o# bales; scoured. Is3%d@ls4d; greasy.

NEW YORK, July 19—The dry goods market shows no marked activity. The arrival of buyers Is heavier than It has been recently, but these ate not as liberal as sellers had expected. Woolen gf>nds for men’s wear and in dress goods lines goods are showing good results and this has held up the market to no little extent. In manufactured goods the market is moving well and the whole outlook is considered a fair one by firsthand operators.
