Report that General Offices of Lake, Shore, Michigan Central and Nick-ei-Piute Are to Be Removed. The Belt road was opened for traffic Nov. 12. 1877, and in August of 1898 the transfers reached the largest number since the road was opened for business, 81,759 cars being the total, which was 6.926 more than were handled in July of this year, a busy month and 10,644 more than in August, 1897. Belt road engines handled at the stockyards 4,572 carloads of live stock, and for private switches on its line 3,681 loaded cars. For the lirst five years the Belt road was operated the company charged the roads transferring cars over it $1 per car, and it began to be very profitable to its owners, and the roads threatened to build an independent line. The Belt road company then arranged to lease the property to the Union Railway Company, which pays Us expenses on the car whceiage basis, and only on loaded cars deliveied or taken off of private switches is $1 per car charged. For '-deliveries \to the packing houses by the Belt road engines 1 cent per head on hogs and 2 cents per head on cattle is charged. Ilfs Work Appreciated. Joseph Price, of London, Eng., vicepresident of the Grand Trunk road, has this to say of General Manager Hayes, who left the Wabash to take his present position; "I have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Hayes enjoys the fullest confidence of every member of the board of directors, all of whom appreciate the services which he has rendered and Is rendering, services which have resulted already in a wonderful increase of material value. It is feit on all hands tint Mr. Hayes is the rignt man in the right piace. rran, the start ms work has been appreciated by the board. Now that ne has beta in office for some time, his value is thoroughly understood. This is a specially pleasing teaturc oi the present regime, tnai that there should be such a perfect understanding between the manager and the boaid in London. He has shown since ms auvent to ofiice that he understands how to employ those powers in tne best possioie way so as to insure the highest results. I am especially anxious that it should be known that in Mr. Hayes the board is convinced they have a man who is bringing at once much experience and ability to aeai upon the duties of tne responsible position he occupies, with results wmch are already seen in the appreciation of Grand Trun* valuta.” The ’Frisco Lime Non in Kansas City. The bt. Louis & San Francisco Railroad assumed control of the Kansas City, Osceola Southern and the Kansas Midland Railroads yesterday and made its entrance into Kansas City. The first through passenger train over the 'Frisco from Galveston, Tex., will reach Kar.sas City this morning. The hist passenger tiain out of Kansas City left yesLrday morning. The celebration over the entrance of the ’Frisco, as weil as the advent of the St. Joseph & Grand Island, will be held i.ext Thursday. Freight service was established by the 'Frisco in and out of Kansas City, and, like the passenger service, is being handled as if the road had been running for years. Chicago Will Be Benefited. With the consolidation of the fast freight lines operating over the Vanderbilt system, other even more important changes are con. templated which will result in removing the general offices of three of the most important of the Vanderbilt roads to Chicago, with a view of centralizing the general offices of the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central and the Nickel-plate at that point. This is a plan proposed by President Callaway, of the New York Central, who practically controls such matters. G. A. R. Rate War Started. Grand Army rates from St Paul to Cincinnati have been utterly demoralized. The agited rate was $17.50 for the round trip. Ine Omaha road has given notice that owing to the secret cu.s of its competitors it will make a >r4 rate. Personal, Local and General Notes. The Peoria & Eastern handled on its line In August 14,569 loaded cars, a decrease as compared with August, 1897, of 4,769. In the month of August there were handled on the big Four system 135.360 loaded cars, 758 more than In August, 189.. One of the monster new freight engines for the Chicago Eastern Illinois, built at Pittsburg, yesterday passed west over the Panhandle. E. F. Lalk, chief clerk in the general freight offices of the Santa Fe at Chicago, goes to Pittsburg to represent the Santa Fe in place of T. M. Orr, resigned. Charles Watts, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania's Northwestern system, yesterday returned from a three weeks’ stay in the mountains of Virginia. R. H. Martin, the retiring representative of the Great Northern, at Pittsburg, on Wednesday evening was given a banquet at which over thirty railroad men were present. General Agent Fraser's report shows that there were loaded and unloaded at the city freight depots of the Big Four last montn 7,412 cars, an increase over August, 1897, of 357 cars. . The interchangeable mileage book yesterday had been on sale one year, and but few of the commercial men would like to return to the old plan of a separate book for each road. E. H. Coapman, who has been for years train dispatcher of the Illinois Central at Kankakee, has been promoted to superintendent of the Chicago terminal division of the Illinois Central. L. Q. Matthews, who for several years was a train dispatcher on the Big Four, yesterday took the position of chief train dispatcher of the Denver, Leadville & Gunnison, with headquarters at Como, Col. Col. Samuel Moody, assistant passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west, will go to Cincinnati on Monday next to remain until the Grand Army of the Republic people are safely started home from that city. The September number of the Baltimore & Ohio Royal Blue Book is an unusually attractive one and contains a comprehensive article on the caverns of Luray. This picturesque locality is in Page county, Virginia. W. D. Wilson, w r ho has represented the Lackawanna fast freight line in this territory for fifteen years, will, on Oct. 1. retire from that position and be succeeded by C. A. Lucas, at present traveling agent for the line. A. L. Blake, of the Pennsylvania lines, who has been for some weeks on the Erie & Pittsburg division testing the tonnage system of loading cars, will to-day begin similar tests on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago. On Tuesday the Southwestern express over the Panhandle, on reaching Pittsburg, had over tour hundred passengers. The train was run In three sections, and included the usual number of mail and express cars hauied on that train. President Hibbard, of the New York & Ottawa, states that their trains will cross the St. Lawrence river on this line by Oct. 1. which will give the Delaware & Hudson Canal road anew entrance Into Canada via the Adirondack Railroad. Two of the new fast freight engines built at Altoona for the Panhandle arrived on Wednesday and will be put In service at once between Columbus and Pittsburg. The next two arriving will be put in service on the Indianapolis division. John McKeever, one of the oldest of the engineers on the Vandalia lines, was yesterday, just after leaving Greeneastle. taken til on his engine and retired to the baggage car, the fireman running the engine in from Greeneastle to Indianapolis. George H. Ross, chief clerk of the carservice and Industrial bureau of the Chicago.

Burlington & Quincy, yesterday retired to become the general freight manager of the Illinois, Indiana & lowa. Mr. Ross has been with the Burlington road for twenty-two years. Freight traffic is so heavy with the Vandalia that at Terre Haute, on Tuesday, there was a blockade which was not well cleared up until yesterday. The freight traffic of this main line and Michigan divisions is now the heaviest in the history of the company. In the month of August there were handled on the bulk tracks of the Louisviile division in the old J.. M. & I. yards 931 carloads of watermelons for Indianapolis firms. The cars brought in by the Vandalia as well as the J., M. & I. were handled on these tracks. The new roundhouse of the Peoria & Eastern on the west side will be ready for occupancy by Oct. 1, it now being under roof. When completed it will be an unusually well-arranged and complete building for the housing of locomotives of the largest type. H. F. Houghton, superintendent of the Chicago east and west division of the Big Four, said last evening that the Big Four lines would next week take into Cincinnati at least 650 coaches of G. A. R. people. Special trains from the West will begin to arrive on Sunday. A. A. Zion, superintendent of the Union Railway Company, states that August was another record breaker in freedom from accidents on Indianapolis lines and in trains arriving on scheduled time. Only three of the great through trains last month arrived at Indianapolis a half hour late. The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific has three of the largest locomotives in the United States. Either of them will haul sixty-five loaded cars of twenty-five tons of ore each up the grades except in the most mountainous section, feats which no other locomotive now built will accomplish, say those in position to know. James Charlton, general passenger agent of the Chicago & Alton, has notified the Western Passenger Association that the Alton will make the same rates on the round trip to Omaha as the other lines between Chicago and Omaha, which Is half rates on those going Tuesday or Wednesday of each week and on certain special days of the exposition. The Klondike express over the Indiana, Peeatue & Western, which hauls the through train of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton between Cincinnati and Chicago via Roachdale. yesterday made the run from Roachdale to Indianapolis, thirty-five miles, in thirty-eight minutes, slow-downs to fie deducted whicn would cut the time at least four minutes. Since Oscar Murray became receiver of the Baltimore & Ohio 102.46 miles of new sidetrack has been laid, largely to furnish private switches for industries on the lines. When on the Big Four Mr. Murray became convinced that one of its strongest business points was its sidetracks. The Big Four, at Indianapolis alone, has 141 sidetracks leading to industries In the city. Platform business with the Pennsylvania lines at this point has so increased of late that twelve new men have been employed as truckmen, six new ones taking hold yesterday. For the month of August the men made the best day in the history of the company, working on the tonnage basis and over time. C. W. Jenkins, general foreman, says that last month 7.000,000 more pounds of small package freight were handled than In the same month of 1897. Recent orders issued on the Northwest system of the i nnsylvania lines have occasioned no small amount of interest on the part of trainmen. Hereafter all conductors on the Fort Wayne and Erie & Ashtabula must report the number of passengers riding in first-clcss coaches, the number in the smokers and also the number of passengers unfit to ride with ladies in the first-class cars. The men interpret the order as’meaning that either the number of cars to the train or the number of men employed on the train is to be cut down, and they are worried considerably about the new rule. The baggage masters are also required to report whether the car they run on is full, half full or one-fourth full. ON EXPERT TESTIMONY. Interesting: Paper Rend to Social Science Convention at Saratoga. SARATOGA,. N. Y., Sept. I.—At to-day's session of the American Social Science Association subjects were discussed in the de L partment of jurisprudence. The department chairman, Prof. Francis Wayland, of New Haven, Conn., made the opening address. Prof. Isaac Franklin Russell, LL D., of the New York University Law School, read a paper, "Can International Disputes be Judicially Determined?” An address on ‘'Obligations of the State to Public Education” was made by Charles Buckley Hubbell, president of the Board of Education of New York city. Eugene Lafleur, of the Montreal bar, read a paper cn ‘‘American Marriages and Divorces before Canadian Tribunals.” At the evening session there was an increased attendance. Hon. St. Clair McKelway, of Brooklyn, read a paper on "Aledieal and Other Experts,” from which the following is an extract: "The expert is a topic of the time. He has also been a problem for a long period, and he is almost becoming a scanoai. The character in which he concerns mankind is that of a witness. Asa witness he difeers from all others who give testimony in the fact that, while those others give or claim to give evidence of what they know, he is called to render under oath his opinions—he is, in short, an opinion witness. Such opinions as many experts are called on to render should be invaluable, and, therefore, the property of all, and not for sale to any interest or man to use against others. A profession should be a title of nobility. The retained expert is becoming more and more a discredited quantity in tne courts of law, among jurors, in the press and in the general community. "There may be another side. Something can be said for that other side. Many of the practitioners of the expert system, by far the most of them, are honorable men. They mean to tell the truth and do tell it with justice and impartiality. But no man should be placed in a position in which he cannot do that, much as he may want to do it. In such a position professional experts are placed by the existing state of things. The system must be abolished or it must be reformed. I have been told that neither its abolition nor its reform is possible. The declartaion has been advanced that the freedom of trials is essential to their fairness, and that that freedom would be dangerously abridged if opinion witnesses were placed upon any other basis than that of other witnesses, so far as their treatment or credence is concerned, except as they themselves by character, learning and dignity can make for themselves a special consideration and can protect themselves against the covert Impertinences of bombarding counsel.” RUINED HIS FRIEND. Ex-Mayor Tailcliell, of Bath, Me., Hag Been a Thief for Yearn. BATH, Me., Sept. I.—Ex-Mayor Fritz H. Twitchell, one of Bath’s most prominent citizens. and a member of Governor Power’s Council, and well known in business circles in Maine and Massachusetts, is a confessed embezzler. The amount of the embezzlement is placed at $60,000, but it may exceed that sum. It is alleged that for the past fourteen or fifteen years, during which Mr. Twitchell has been connected with the Wol'urabo Woolen Manufacturing Company, various sums have been appropriated by him. These amounts were charged to the expense account, so that the business had not become involved at any time. When confronted with the evidence, Mr. Twitchell acknowledged his guilt, but it is thought no prosecution will follow, as the one most deeply involved is Gaten S. Moses, treasurer of the mills}, who is inclined to treat the matter as one of personal wrong ra titer than an instance of criminal intent. Mr. Twitchell, who is at his summer home at Popham Beach, is in very poor health. He refuses to discuss the situation. The disclosures in the case were precipitated by the personal assignment of Mr. Moses, w hich was announced Tuesday, and in which more than $409,000 worth of property is involved. Mr. Twitchell was chosen mayor in 1891 in 1*93 and 1895, and this year he was selected a member of the Executive Council. He has been grand commander of the Masonic Commanaery of Maine, and is past grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Still After Senator Kenney. WILMINGTON. Dei., Sept. 1.-United States District Attorney Lewis C. Vandergrift is preparing to present to the federal grand jury, which will reassemble in this city next Tuesday, additional evidence In the case of the government against United States Senator Richard R. Kenney, charged with aiding and abetting William N. Boggs to misapply funds of the First National Bank of Dover. Should this evidence meet the approval of the grand jury it will probably return another indictment against the senator in addition to that which is still pending, en which he was tried in July, the trial having resulted in a disagreement.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1898.

A DULL STOCK MARKET all standard shares almost on THE VERGE OF STAGNATION. —4 Money Rates Promise to Become Easier and Specialties Are Higher —Local Trade Brighter. - At New York yesterday money on call was firmer at 2@3% per cent.; last loan, 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 3%@5 per cent. Sterling exchange was weaker, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4-84%@4.85 for demand and at for sixty days; posted rate.-, $4. S3 %® 4.84 and $4.86; commercial bills, $4.82. Silver certificates, 59%@60%c; bar silver, 60c; Mexican dollars. 46’Ac. At London bar silver closed quiet at 27 11-16d an ounce. Total sales stocks, 388,300 shares, including 6,635 Atchison preferred, 9.510 Chicago. Burlington & Quincy, 6,735 Louisville & Nashville, 40,310 Manhattan, 32.540 Northern Pacific, 45,089 Northern Pacific preferred, 6.622 Rock Island, 22,570 St. Paul, 21,185 Union Pacific, 8,770 Wabash preferred, 4.722 Minnesota Iron, 30.582 People's Gas, 15,720 General Electric, 6,340 Illinois Steel, 36,839 Sugar, 4,410 Leather preferred and 4,210 Chicago Great Western. Yesterday’s New York stock market was dull to the verge of stagnation for practically all of the standard stocks. There was no severe pressure of liquidation, but neither was there any demand to buy. Evidently the elaborate manipulation of the bull clique, which, in view of the favorable condition, was expected to invite a prolonged outside buying movement, which would carry prices from one high stage to another, has come to naught for the time being. The professionals have realized, but the new holders are vulnerable to the machinations of the bear clique and are loath to hold their stock in a declining market There is a constant dribble of stock and a sagging of prices. The market was redeemed from absolute dullness by movements in special stocks. Sugar and Manhattan were marked up by the bears. People’s Gas reacted on the failure of the agreement among outside interests expected to result from Wednesday’s conference. There was large absorption of both Northern Pacific and Union Pacific preferred. Union Pacific’s favorable statement for July giving the movement a fresh impulse. The common stocks both suffered from liquidation. The projects of the great new Federal Steel Company were reflected in the activity of various stocks affected. General Electric. Consolidated Ice, New York Air-brake and Baltimore & Ohio, the Cleveland, Wheeling & Lorain stocks, Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg stock all showed marked advances. So far as the outlook In the money market is concerned there is prospect of easier conditions. There was no more gold imported, but sterling exchange was weak and London money rates are still below the New York level, though they hardened further. The announced intention of the Treasury Department to anticipate the interest payments on the 4 per cent, bonds will release over $5,000,000 to the market. It is expected also that the distribution of the new government thiees will be much more rapid from this time on and will be completed by Sept. 15. This will serve to liquidate a large amount of loans made by New York banks for financing subscriptions to these bonds and will also make the bonds available as security for deposits of government money in national banks and for the purpose of circulation. At the same time the action of the treasury in anticipating interest payment is an indication of the rather pressing needs of the money market. Such a thing has not been resorted to since the period of Secretary Windom’s administration, when the old tariff law was yielding a surplus revenue. The bond market shared in the dullness of stocks and prices yielded before the end of the day. Total sales were $2,090,000. Quotations for government bonds were unchanged. The new threes are % lower on actual transactions. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11, Board of Trade, shows the range of quotations: Open- High- Low- ClosName. ing. est. est. ing.

The Month Open* With Active Trade and Fine Prospects. A month of active trade began yesterday and unless it is far in excess of corresponding months of some years past it will be a disappointment, so favorable are the conditions. Sugar made another advance yesterday, the fourth in ten days, and all staple groceries are firmer in tone. Dry goods carry a steady, firm tone. Poultry, eggs and butter are all firm at quotations. On Commission row matters have braced up considerably. Receipts are not as heavy of fruits, but still in excess of the demand and only choice stock seils readily.

A report op the utilization of Indian cornstalks in Russia is made to the State Department by W. R. Holloway, consul general at St. Petersburg. Mr. Holloway says: “On the 19th of July a most interesting experiment was made by the Russian Admiralty at the naval proving grounds at Poligon, near St. Petersburg. A cofferdam six feet long, six feet deep and three feet broad was packed with blocks of cellulose, made from the pith of Indian cornstalks. The material was supplied by the Marsden Company, of Philadelphia, and the dam was packed under the supervision of the experts of that company. The cellulose within the dam was compressed until it weighed eight pounds for each cubic foot. A six-inch solid shot was fired through the dam, striking it at a distance of about twenty inches from the bottom. “The shot struck the dam at a velocity of 1,000 feet a second and passed clear through both the iron walls and the cellulose packing. Less than half a pound of the cellulose was carried out by the projectile. The water compartment of the dam was filled, giving a pressure of nearly five feet of water on the perforated surface. In just half an hour a moist spot began to show on the outer surface of the dam, but it was evident that the moisture had come along the bottom of the packing and not through the path of the shot. In four hours no water had come through the shot's path, and only six gallons had passed under the packing. "The experiment conclusively demonstrated that a ship provided with a cofferdam packed as was the one used in the experiment could be perforated five feet below the water line without the least danger of the entrance of water. This demonstration opens up an immense market for fralian corn pith, and will prove of great advantage to American agriculture. “Among those who were present at the trial were Admiral Decker, director, and Colonel Ricosanin, deputy director of the naval proving grounds at Poligon; Colonel Nicolas Zitoff, member of he naval construction board of the Russian navy; Mr. Henry C. Watts, representative of the Marsden Company; Mr. Irving Scott, president of the Union iron works of San Francisco; Dr. H. W. Wiley, representative of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and many others. “After extracting the cellulose for packing cofferdams and other purposes, the outer envelope of the stalk is ground into an excellent cattle food. This property of the maize stalk is of the greatest importance. It is evident that this waste product of the vast maize fields of America is destined to interest European nations, and find eventually a wide market. Similar trials of maize pith as an obturating material for battle ships have been made in England, with favorable results.” Bulldln© Permit*. J. D. and M. J.

CORN WAS THE LEADER a URGENT DEMAND FROM SHORTS SENT PRICES UPWARD. - Wheat Fully Sympathised with Firmness In Corn and Scored Gains— Provisions Closed Higher. CHICAGO. Sept. I.—Bad crop reports from Nebraska strengthened corn to-day. That aroused the sympathies cf traders In wheat and was the principal reason for an advance of %o%c. At the close December corn showed an advance of 140 %c. Oats were unchanged to 14c higher. Pork advanced 7%c, lard 2%e and ribs 50714 c. A rather urgent demand from shorts just at the opening, owing to continued hot weather and lighter receipt* than expected, advanced the price of corn %c over the close of Wednesday on the initial transactions. The condition of the crop In Nebraska, however, appeared to be the chief consideration with traders. Kansas corn was In as bad or worse condition than that In Nebraska, but the trade here had already accepted the damage reports from Kansas and did tome buying because of them during the last short bull campaign. It needed another big corn State to be heard from discouragingly as to its crop prospects to thoroughly stir up the bulls. Nebraska's great disappointment as compared with her early prospects for a big crop came opportunely and was the chief Incentive to the buying. The market had no decided set-back except Immediately following the opening and again after December had risen 14c above the previous day’s closing price, whence it had 14c reaction. December opened 14094 c up at 3103114 c, declined to 30%@30%c, improved to 3114 c, then reacted to 31031 %c at the close. Chicago received 193 cars of wheat, agj. rrt 228 expected. The weather was hot and <xmsldered unfavorable for corn and that article was rticng at the commencement of the session. There wns a general feeling of confidence express?d on the curb that under present circumstances December wheat was low enough. In consequence the epenIng trades were at about 14c improvement c\er closing prices of last night. No wheat find teen tendered on September contract* before the opening. This fact helped in the formation of the slightly bullish tone with which trading started. On the other hand Liverpool came %@%d lewer. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 562 ttrs, compared with 314 the corresponding day h year ago. Corn soon began to drop a few sixteenths of its early advance and that, with the decline at Liverpool and Northwestern receipts, had to receive the consideration it was entitled to at the hands of the wheat speculators. Asa result tl e small advance at the start was lost. Business was small and the heat was too oppressive for anyone to mix in the sweltering crowd, wlucn Pas not had an order very close to the inarkat. Luring the last part of the session corn g-ew sttong again and wheat responded sympathet'ca'.iy. Tie aggregate of the day's primary Western marlet receipts was 1,026,000 bu, against 914,"OO a year ago, and It now appears as If the movsment for the present season, having at length cau,s:it i p on that of the year before, was getting in slif.pe to beat it. The export clearances from A’lintic and gulf ports were equal in wheat and flour to 790,000 bu. September opened up at C4o and after declining to 63%c advanced to 64140 64%c at the close. December started %@%c Ngher at 61%@62%c, sold down to 61%@61%c. then firmed up to 62%c and closed at 621406214 c. st ’.'ers. Oats were easy early, but toward the close the strength displayed by corn was felt and the market closed steady. The principal part of the business done was changing from September to December. December opened unchanged to 1974 c, up to 20c, weakened to 19%@19%c and closed at 19% @2oc. Provisions were depressed at the start from the knowledge that about 12.C00 tierces of lard had been delivered on September contracts before the session opened. The opening declines brought forth buyers, who absorbed all that was for sale at the moderate concessions. Trading first started, but the quantities purchasable on these early terms proved to be light, and more being wanted, yesterday’s prices were soon re-established and something added. September pork opened 2%c down at SB.BO, rose to [email protected]% and reacted to $8.90, buyers, at the close.
