The Fast Freight Line Consolidation Ueeonies Effective Oct. I—General and Personal News. There is one thing which railroad employes complain of more than wages, and on some roads an effort is making to meet their wishes to a greater extent in the matter of having permanent locations. The frequent shifting of division points causes employes much loss and inconvenience. President Ingalls, of the Big Four, has kept this point in view. This has enabled Big Four men to purchase and pay for homes and live more cosily than if moved from one division point to another frequently. President McKeen, of the Vandalia, gave this feature of railroad service special attention, and of late Vice President Ramsey, of the YV t abash, has been arranging matters so far as possible in the same direction. The Pennsylvania management, however, has given this question but little attention, and there are few of its thousands of employes who feel that It is safe to undertake to secure a home, us they are liable at any time to find their stopping place for the time being a hundred miles away from the point where they now reside. A Pittsburg paper says: "The Fort Wayne started the innovation when they abandoned Alliance as a terminal or division point some years ago, and began to run crews through to Crestline. After that came the Conway yards scheme, which compelled hundreds of railroad men to give up their Aileghrtiy homes and move to Conway. The Panhandle next started to add to the expense of the trainmen by running all the through freight trains, with the exception of stock trains, to Pitcairn, and making the starting point at that place instead of at Pittsburg, and last year this same company began to run all through express trains to Columbus. Trainmen were affected by the change, as they could not ride over a hundred miles back to their Dennlson homes after finishing their runs, and the only alternative was to move to Pittsburg or Columbus. The freight men of this road are now in a quandary, as they are expecting at any hour to learn that the order is issued to run through from Pitc? .w Columbus. On the Toledo division of the Pennsylvania lines an order has gone forth which, it emorced. will compel every trainman to move from Mansfield to Toledo. The Pennsylvania Company transportation officers claim that the changes introduced are for the good of the service, and that in these days of fierce competition division points must be changed tor economical reasons and that the longer runs are a necessity. Personal, Local and General Notea. Walter M. Pennington, who represents the NV hite line at Memphis, Tenn., is in the city for a day or two. *. H - *?’, Hobart to-day retires as editor of the Railway Age, after having served in that capacity twenty-three years. On Tuesday the Big Four proper handled on its lines 5,<23 loaded cars, and Is fast reaching the highest point in its loaded car movement. J. M. Chesborough, Northern passenger agent of the Queen & Crescent, is located at Chickamauga looking after the movement of troops northwtrd. John Galbraith, cashier of the American Express Company for years at Lafayette, has boon promoted to a route agent, and will begin in his new work to-day. The members of the International Ticket Association who attend the meeting In Detroit are to be provided with a special steamer for a trip to Mackinac island. To-day Fredriu Buskirk. who recently went to Jackson. 0., to represent the Ohio Southern, will return to Cincinnati as general agent of the Detroit & Lima Northern road. Frank Van Deusen, chief assistant to E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west, is off on his annual vacation, and Col. Samuel Moody fills his chair. One of the Indianapolis & Vincennes trains ran over the dog of a saloon keeper at Worthington, a day or two ago, and the owner has brought suit against the company for slaO. W. H. McDoel, vice president and general manager of the Monnn lines, will to-day leave for New Hampshire to spend ten days. His daughter has been spending the summer in that State. C. W. Fosket. an engineer on the Panhandle. who a few weeks ago while on his engine was seized with facial paralysis, has recovered from the attack and will soon take his engine again. Chief Engineer Kittredge. of the Big Four, has prepared plans for a more comniodius passenger stat'on at Wabash. Ind but the Improvement will not probably be undertaken until early st ring. * A 'i a’. r years superintendent of the Jackson & Sharp car works at Wilk ” ha .

the Lake Erie & StraitsviUe division of the B. & O. Train 21 on the Pennsylvania was yesterday nearly two hours late, owing to the heaviness of its train. The train left New York with twelve sleeping cars for Western points. People are now returning from the seaside resorts by the hundreds. In the gas belt territory the manufacturers are now loading from 200 to 250 cars a day with glass, lamp chimneys and the various products of the numerous establishments, and business of all kinds from and to that section Is unusually heavy. Freight officials state that west-bound tonnage is now the heaviest in years, and is confined to no special class, which is taken as evidence that all over the West conditions are excellent and people have money to buy goods and make improvements. Roann. Ind.. on the Wabash, enjoys the distinction of shipping out weekly more carloads of live stock than any other way station between Peru and Detroit. It is not an unusual tning for twenty to thirty cars a week to he shipped from that one point. The increase In earnings of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois reached $25,400 the third week of August. This is due largely to the extraordinary large passenger business the road is now enjoying. But l'ew roads have been more benefited than the C. & E. I. by the war. J. R. Orbinson, chief superintendent of telegraph and equipment of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, was in the city yesterday arranging for carrying the G. A. R. business next week from this section. He says the C., H. & D. will carry more people into Cincinnati next week than any other one line reaching that city. On Tuesday Samuel Thomas, president of the Monon lines, telegraphed W. H. MeDoel, vice president and general manager, that if there was any uneasiness on the part of the men as to rumored consolidation with the Big Four, that they need have none, as there is no foundation for the reports which have been published. The receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company will pay the coupons due Sept. 1, 1898, from $2,500,000 bonds of the Central Ohio Railroad Company, amounting to $56,250. These coupons are payable at the Union Trust Company. New Y’ork, and at the office of the treasury of the receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company. Nicholas Dodson, one of the oldest and best known engineers on the Terre Haute & Indianapolis, died at Terre Haute on Tuesday night. He was fifty-ejght years old, and had lived in Terre Haute since a child. He had been running an engine between Indianapolis and Terre Haute since 1865. He leaves a wife, three sons and a daughter. F. Wolcott Jackson, general superintendent of the United New Jersey Railroads, will be succeeded to-day by F. L. Sheppard, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad division, and J. M. Wallis goes to the place made vacant by Mr. Sheppard’s transfer. Air. Jackson will continue- as president of the United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company. The Michigan and the Peoria divisions of the Vandalia have of late been creating surprise over the increase in business and the increase in earnings. While the above was intended to apply to freight traffic, the increase in passenger traffic has been as much of a surprise, especially to Lake Maxinkuckee and St. Joseph. Each year travel to these pleasure resorts is increasing. At Bellwood, Pa., there is a flourishing branch of the Young iMen’s Christian Assc< iation. composed of railroad men. The branch has leased a hotel and converted the barroom into a place for religious instruction, the cultivation of morality and the saving of souls. The old Bell House was refused a license at tne- last term of the court, and friends of the association purchased the property. Chief Engineers Hall, ot the Monon. and Wilson, of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Daytin, were in the city yesterday conferring as to the changes which are proposed in the freight depot of the Monon and the plans of the new Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton freight depot which it is decided shall be located on a parallel with the freight depot of the Monon. the latter to be extended flush with East street. It will then be 420 feet long by 50 wide, and the new depot of the C., H. & D. will be of the same dimensions. M. W. Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, in conversation yesterday, said that he did not in the future expect to see farmers shipping their grain immediately after harvest, as conditions for reaching railway stations on their lines had changed. In Greene and other counties on the 1. & V. a large mileage of macajlhmized road has been constructed and marfy miles graveled or otherwise improved: consequently the farmers can wait their leisure to ship their corn, or for better prices, if they so choose, as at any season of the year they can now bring their produce to the depots for shipment. Shipments of hogs and cattle thus will be of great advantage to the farmers. The consolidated Vanderbilt fast freight lines will be officered as follows: F. L. Pomeroy, of Buffalo, general manager of the Red, White, Blue, Canada Southern and Midland lines; W. F. Wilson, of Buffalo, general manager of the West Shore, Nickelplate and North Shore Dispatch lines; Geo. R. Street, of Rochester, general accountant of the eight lines: W. J. Mann, of Detroit, general claim agent. All the offices will be in Buffalo, and the changes will become effective Oct. 1. Inquiry shows that the consolidation will not throw as many men out of positions in the Western cities as should at first have been expected. In the West each of the lines named sends business over different roads, and the roads, for self-pro-tection, will have separate representatives, as in the case of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, the Lake Erie & Western and the Wabash. The consolidation does not affect any person representing such lines as the Traders’ Dispatch, the Lackawanna, the Empire, the Kanawha Dispatch, the Hoosac Tunnel, the Continental or the Central States Dispatch, but tends to strengthen their hold on business. A HINT FROM HARRISON. How Missouri It eiuihl ion ns Came to Poll Their State. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A party of Missourians called at the White House one day during President Harrison’s term to taiK about political prospects in the State. Farmer Wade did most of the talking. He told the President why he thought there was an unusual opportunity in the campaign then opening to redeem Missouri. General Harrison listened and expressed his gratification from time to time. Suddenly ne interrupted with: ‘What did your last poll show. Colonel Wade?” "Poll?” said the congressman. "I don't know that I can tell you. What do you mean, Mr. President?" “What figures did your last canvass of voters of the State five Republicans, Democrats and doubtul?” explained the President. “I don’t know that we have any poll of the State. Mr. President,” Farmer Wade confessed. "Do you mean to say that you have got a campaign coming on and that your state committee hasn’t polled the State by precincts to find out how you stand?” asked the President with a look of astonishment. “Go back home. Colonel Wade, and take a Xiojl. precinct by precinct, county by county, and district by district, before you begin to talk about carrying Missouri.” This was blunt. It threw the Missourians into some confusion. But they knew the President had obtained his political schooling in a State where organization and campaign methods had been refined and perfected by many close campaigns. They were face to face in a moment with the folly of building hopes upon no foundation. One who was present when President Harrison gave the Missourians the first lesson in party organization said yesterday: "I don’t believe the Republicans ever made what party management in other States would call a decent poh of this State.” The sin of omission will not hold any longer against Missouri Republicans. One of the first products of the reconstructed party machinery will be a poll by precincts. The plan is to select two good men in every township of the State, care being taken to obtain Republicans who will do this work with conscientious and intelligent thoroughness. Every voter’s present political standing will be obtained. No sanguine guessing and estimating will be countenanced. With this complete poll in hand the new committee will plan the campaign, applying effort where the best results may be expected. Gool Will Result. Washington Special.

The discipline to which the War Office is being subjected may appear to the officials of that establishment unnecessarily severe but it will at least be effective.

Burlington & Quincy, 3,400 Louisville & Nashville, 20,200 Manhattan, 45.975 Northern Pacific. 29,040 Northern Pacific preferred. 3.580 Hock Island, 11,715 Union Pacific, 14,670 St. Paul, 4.020 Southern preferred, 13,326 Union Pacific preferred, 7,895 Minnesota Iron, 22.300 Wabash preferred, 11,121 Tobacco, 8,436 Chicago Great Western, 42,965 People’s Gas, 8.076 General Electric, 4,959 Illinois Steel. 14,100 Sugar. 12,894 Leather preferred, 3,127 Rubber, 3,637 St. Louis & San Francisco preferred. Yesterday’s New York stock market was quite as remarkable for the llstlessness and heaviness of the standard securities as it was for the animation and strength of a number of specialties. The grangers, Union Pacifies, Atchison preferred, Brooklyn Transit, Sugar and most of the railway shares were semi-stagnant all day and most of them closed at small net losses and with outside fluctuations for the day of only a small fraction. The great of iron and steel companies was one of the notable influences which caused activity and strength In a number of stocks. Those already known to be in the combination showed strength all day and the common and preferred stocks of the American Steel and Wire Company advanced 3 and 4%, respectively, on rumors that it was to be included in the consolidation. Possibly the large buying and sharp gain of the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling stocks were connected with the same cause. The movement in Northern Pacific was also a special one and was caused by a report that a reserve surplus to insure the preferred dividend was in contemplation. Wabash preferred continued its upward movement, but met floods of stock at a price of 24, and eased off. People's Gas was very largely dealt in and gained 2%c net. closing at. the top on the belief that conflicting interests had been adjusted! The buoyancy of this stock at the close did not save the rest of the list from a sagging tendency. There were conspicuous movements in a number of other stocks of less prominence. Manhattan was a source of weakness all day and lost 2 points at one time. The announcement of the first gold Imports imparted some* vigor to the market and did not check a further decline in sterling exchange. London discount rates advanced % per cent, to 1%@1%c. but this is still 1%@1% per cent, below the rates for the corresponding periods in New York. Money rates in New York were unchanged, but continued firm, and the outgo of cash from the banks to the subtreasury on account of bond subscriptions continued. In view of the apparent needs of the money market, the decline in government bon,ds, including the new threes, when issued, is somewhat perplexing. Tljese bonds are supposed to he in eager demand by the banks not only to offer as security for government deposits, thus r®ievlng the drain of cash into the treasury, but also for circulation to meet the growing interior demand. There were seme large transactions in bonds and prices were quite firmly held with a few exceptions, notably the Atchison issues. Total sales, $2,745,000. United States new fours, the fives and old fours, registered, and the threes, when issued, declined 14 in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W.

So far as volume of trade is concerned, that of August was very satisfactory in most lines, but goods were sold very close and were it not that prices rule unusually steady and few bad debts are made, many of the merchants would find it difficult to make both ends meet. The business of August was largely in excess of last August in most lines and In all lines thye Is a feeling that the fall trade which begins with to-day will be very satisfactory. Yesterday there were no changes in values calling for comment. Except in fruits and vegetables prices rule steady and firm, with an advancing tendency in many staple articles. Prices on Commission row are governed by the receipts of fruits and vegetables from day to day, but on choice stock very fair prices are realised. The local grain market Is not as active an it abourd be at this season of the year, farmers

evidently holding their grain for better prices.

SAVED FROM A BREAK CHICAGO WHEAT SUSTAINED BY ACTIVE DEMAND FOR CORN. Receipt* of tlie Leading; Cereal In the NortiiVTCMt Construed a* Good Bear News by Shorts. CHICAGO. Aug. 81.—A sharp advance in corn to-day, although not holding until the close, overshadowed the bearish considerations in the wheat pit and partially sustained wheat prices. September wheat closed %@%c lower and December lost %@%c. Corn, compared with last night, is 1 s@%c higher. Oats are unchanged to %c lower. Pork declined 17%c, lard 12%c and ribs 2%e. Liverpool before the opening here showed declines in wheat of %and for September and %and f° r December, which was sufficient to account for lower prices at the start. More confidence was soon expressed by the traders, however, when they observed how little wheat was for sale at the reduction and how much appeared to be wanted. The Northwestern receipts were sufficiently liberal to keep bullishness from taking a very firm hold of tlie crowd, but there were fewer expressions of bearishness to be heard. New York reported early in the day that foreign demand there for wheat for shipment was more active than for some time previous. It was partly because of the improved export demand, but perhaps more on account of the early bullishness of corn that September and December wheat at Chicago quickly recovered the slight dip it made at the opening. Cash wheat was easy at about %@lc decline for contract grade and lower grades at about yesterday’s prices to a shade higher. Chicago receipts were 236 cars, against 415 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth received 647 cars, compared with 394 the year before, and the aggregate at all the principal Western markets amounted to 1,146,000 bu, compared with 1,119,000 the corresponding day of the previous year. That catching up of the receipts to the volume of last year was one of the most marked features of the day's developments. Shipments from Atlantic and gulf ports, equal in wheat and flour to 790,000 bu, passes without comment, illustrating the greater influence with the crowd of anything capable of bearish interpretation. In the last hour, the advancing tendency in corn having been checked, wheat turned weak and prices gradually worked lower. September opened %@%c lower at 64® 64’ic, advanced to 64%c, reacted to 63%c and closed at 63%@63 7 /gc, sellers. December started %c down at 61%@62c, up to 62%@62%c; off to 61%c, recovered to 61%c, buyers, at the close. The growing conviction of a prospective short crop being at present clinched into an assurance of a poor yield by the continued high temperature, strengthened corn. Prominent bulls bought heavily and the efforts made by the shorts to cover were hardly less active. There was some recession from the top near the close, caused by realizing and liberal estimates for to-morrow. Sept(@iber started %c higher at 30%@30%c, declined to 30%@30Vic, up to 30%c and closed at 30%c, buyers. Oats acted independent of either wheat or torn and prices ruled steady within a narrow range. The most of the trading done was changing from September to December. September opened unchanged to %c up at 20c, declinad to 19%c and closed at 19Tc. Large receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards started provisions weak. Yellow fever rumors brought about heavy selling of pork and lard and prices declined sharply. September pork opened 10c lower at $8.75, rose to SB.BO and declined to $8.77% at the close. September lard opened 5c down at $N.12% and sold off to $5.05, the closing figure. September ribs started 7%c off at $5.27%, rose to $5.35 and weakened to $5.32% at the close. Estimated receipts for to-morrow: Wheat, 220 cars; corn, 675 cars; oats, 375 cars; hogs, 29,000.
