Ptttwbnrfg na a Mall Diatrlbntins Center—l,Hre Quantities of Perishable FreiifhtM Moving. Inquiry of railway officials In the transportation department shows that roads in the Central Traffic Association territory are well equipped for handling the immense volume of business in prospect the next few months. Especially is this true of the local lines. The Pennsylvania, the Big Four, the Monon, the Cincinnati. Hamilton ■& Dayton, the Vandalia, the Wabash and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern have the last year added largely to their freight equipment by purchase of new cars and the rebuilding of older cars, and have considerably Increased their power. They are in shape to do a big business on an economical scale. The introduction of the larger locomotives is a very effective agency in reducing the cost of moving freights, the saving being not only in the number of train crews required, but In the consumption of fuel. Road beds and tracks are in fine condition. On the Monon rtnd the Panhandle there has been a reduction of grades and an elimination of curves which cuts an important figure in the movement of heavy trains. The fast freight service is one of the most noticeable features in the train service. Nearly every road now' has Its through fast freight service, and in nine cases out of ten these fast freight trains are run on the passenger train schedules of twenty years ago. while special freights, carrying perishable articles, are run on the fast schedules of passenger trains. Mall Carried by the Trainload. At Pittsburg no one thinks of footing up the quantity of mail handled by the number of sacks or by the ton, and hardly by the car, but fully as often by the trainload, as daily from both directions there are hauled from six to ten posla! cars. When these trains arrive not only the postal employes take hold and assist In the transfer of mails.sof which tons are daily transferred, but the men in the baggage department are often called on to help in the transfer so that through trains need not be delayed any longer than absolutely necessary, as It Is very difficult to get one of these through postal-car trains oft on schedule time, Trylnjr to Bay a Railroad. Abner McKinley, brother of President McKinley. Col. W. C. Brown and ex-Presl-dent Haskell, of the Detroit * Lima Northern, were at Toledo yesterday in conference with Judge J. 11. Doyle, to purchase the Toledo & Ottawa Beach railroad, which Is being built between Toledo and Detroit. This new line has secured an entrance to Toledo and is in reailty being put In for the i.se of the Grand Trunk, which has for a number of years been trying to get Toledo as a terminus by way of Detroit. Abbot's Answer. Edwin H. Abbot has filed an answer in the United States Court at Milwaukee to the charge of Trustee Stewart that Abbot had appropriated for his own use $324,000 of the bonds of the Wisconsin Central Company. Abbot says that the bonds are deposited with a hanking firm of which Slewart’s partner is a member. Abbot claims that the charges are made to force him to a settlement with the. opposition interests in the Wisconsin Central property. Receiver for a Railroad. Judge Hammond, of the United States Court, at Toledo, yesterday nominated James B. Townsend, of Lima, receiver for the Detroit & Lima Northern railroad. Irving Belford was appointed special master to report on the condition of the road. The ‘appointment was made on application of J. J. Harmon, of New York. Pernonal. Local and General Note*. Work on the Big Four's new passenger station at Terre Haute is progressing and it will be ready for occupancy by Christmas. In twelve hours yesterday there were thirteen special trains from Chicago to Cincinnati over the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania. J. H. Barnard, general manager of the Peoria & Eastern, has returned from a three vacation which he spent at Hot Bfpriffee. W. Va. Business is so heavy on the Panhandle lines that the night telegraph offices have been reopened at Selma, West Jefferson, C’edarvilie. Waynesville, Oregonia, Milford and Linwood. P. C. Clark, formerly of Lafayette, who went to Cleveland as chief clerk in the Big Four ticket office, has resigned to accept a position with the Erie lines at an increased salary. The net income of the Rock Island road for the month of July was 5602,287, a decrease of $52,049 from the same month of the preceding year. 'The Order of Railway Conductors has sent a vigorous protest to General Manager Bradbury, of the Lake Erie & Western, against the dismissal from service of Conductor R. W. Peck. Ashbel general counsel of the New York Central, who died on Sunday at his summer home at Tonally. N. J., aged seven-ty-six years, had been counsel of the road for a long series of years. B. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west, will deliver the opening address before the members of the Traveling Passenger Agents' association, which begins its twenty-ninth annual convention at Lakewood, Sept. 15. Negotiations are still pending by which the Mobile & Ohio may secure control of the Cairo division of the Big Four. This secured, the Mobile & Ohio could establish, without much trouble, a through line from Chicago to Mobile and New Orleans. While the midland through lines and the Wabash have so heavy a traffic that they are increasing the number of their train crews, the Lake Shore, the Nickel-plate and several other northern lines are laying off train crews on account of light business. The September number of the Travelers’ Official Railway Guide contains anew feature. The index to stations has been put in new and larger type, adding thirty-two pages to the volume, and a number of other minor changes have been made which will be appreciated. J. E. Lantz, telegraph operator on the Big Four lines, has been offered the position of chief train dispatcher of the Chicago division, vice Edward Bennell, transferred to the general ottiees. Mr. Lantz hesitates as to accepting the promotion on account of poor health. William Kelley, jr., who retired as representative of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul at Buffalo on Monday, was given a banquet by his friends, wmch was attended by a large number of passenger men. Mr. Kelly goes to New York city as general Eastern passenger agent of the C„ M. & St. P. So far as salary is concerned. General Manager Hays Is a very fortunate man. In addition to his salary of $35,000 as general manager of the Grand Trunk, as receiver of the Vermont Central he receives SIO,OOO a year. A few years ago, as general manager of the Wabash, he received $15,000 a year, one-third his present salary. The Waba.di has placed an order for another 1.000 bOit cars. Col. R. G. Butler states that the Wabash sends an average of three hundred cars a year to the scrap heap. They are repaired to a certain point and then thrown away. The rules is that when $125 will not put a car in first-class condition it is not worth repairing. Passer ger officials are disappointed over the business from Indianapolis to the G. A. ft. at Cincinnati. The individual business la fully up to expectations, hut the members of the posts were very disappointing in Dumber. One of the posts, numbering several hundred, sent but thirty men, and other posts fell far short of the number expected. John F. Miller, superintendent of the

Pennsylvania's Southwestern system, in company with M. W. Mansfield, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, made a trip over the road yesterday. Mr. Miller expresses himself pleased with the excellent condition of the I. & V. tracks and the business prospects, which are favorable all along the line. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four lines, who has been in Cincinnati for thr-e or four days, will this evening return to Hot Springs. W'. Va., to remain until early October, when he proposes to come West and make an inspection of the entire Big Four system in company' with General Manager Schaff and General Superintendent Van Winkle. It is stated, despite rumors to the contrary, that after the reorganization of the Baltimore & Ohio the offices of president of the company’ will be at New’ York and it is positively asserted that John K. Cowen, one of the receivers, wi. be president of the new company, and that Oscar Murray, coreceiver, will be vice president, and Wm. Greene, general manager. Muldrim Gray, son of D. S. Gray, who represents the Pennsylvania lines in the Joint Traffic Association, and who has been at Porto Rico as second lieutenant of the Fourth Ohio, is expected home next week. Favorable action is said to have been taken on his request for a discharge. He will return to his old position, that of soliciting agent of the Union Star line at Columbus. Trainmasters and train dispatchers on the Indianapolis lines state that never in their time of service has it required more care and skill to move the business than during tho last sixty days. Freight trains have been numerous and in addition to regular business there have been numerous excursion trains, and between them all it not only keeps the tracks warm, but requires great watchfulness to keep trains moving promptly and without accident. V. T. Malott, receiver of the Vandalia, has purchased 2,000 tons of eighty-five-pound steel rails for November delivery. They will be laid on the main line between Indianapolis and East Rt. I>ouis'. replacing fifte n miles of old sixty-pound rails. The main line is 237% miles long, and when these rails are in the track the receiver, in the course of two years, will have laid seventvsix miles of it with eighty-five-pound rails in the place of worn-out sixty-pound rails. Last evening General Superintendent Van Winkle, of the Big Four, telegraphed Division Superintendent Houghton, who is looking after matters at Cincinnati, asking how business was moving, and the reply came that they were handling the heavy passenger business without any congestion. Mr. Van Winkle say's this week will show heavy business over the Big Four, as freight traffic is moving with its usual regularity despite the .heavy passenger travel to the G. A. R. There has never been a time when there was such a demand for cars to move perishable freights. Not only is every refrigerator ear in service, but any car which has modern methods of ventilation or carrying ice to keep the interior of the car at a cool temperature is put in use. A line official expresses the opinion that there are ten refrigerator cars kept in constant service where there were two but a few years ago, while for many weeks past to secure this class of cars orders must be given in advance. A War Souvenir. Washington Times. But while we were talking of souvenirs, awhile ago. I meant to tell you of a gild w'ho at just in front of me at the theater the other night. She was a markedly trim girl, with a man-made shirt waist and one of those felt hats the ultra-fash-ionables, both male and female, are all wearing out of town—a cross between a fedora and a soldier s campaign hat, with a wisp of blue and white poikadotted muslin folded about the crown in a way that doubtless has a meaning, though, to the vulgar mind it looks like a washcloth stretched out to dry. But, as I started to say, this girl was wearing a bullet swung about her neck by a chain, w'hich. doubtless. carried a purse last year. The young man who was with her asked her about it, and I caught part of her reply.” "It was in his arm nearly twenty-four hours,” she said, "and when the surgeon cut it out—think of it—why, he asked right away for it, to send it to me. Wasn’t that lovely of him? Doesn't look like it had a history, does it?” ‘‘No. it doesn't.” said the young man; and his tone conveyed more than his words. The bullet, by the way, showed not tne slightest trace of ever having been in anything hut a gun shop. “It certainly doesn t. Miss Elmander has one. too. She told me he sent it to her. Funny he'd have two bullets in his arm. isn’t it?” The girl—l wish I knew that girl—merely glanced at him. unconcernedly, and never winced. "O not at all.” she said, “not at all. I suppose he was shot with a double-bar-reled gun.” .And perhaps he was, but when that particular Johnny comes marching home—O, well, he'll he equal to explaining it, I’m sure. Lines to the Weather Man. O Weather Man! Can You not Un-hot The atmosphere? Can’t you steer One of those clear And bracing cold -waves this way For just one day? Say!

It is a common impression that the conditions of army life are invariably such as to leave little or no room for the exercise or development of religious feeling. The tendency of such a life is believed to be. in fact, strongly toward the lowering of moral standards. It is gratifying to know that this does not hold true ot life in our American armies. It is the testimony of Gen. O. O. Howard, who has been engaged in religious work in our camps at Chickamauga, Turrpa and elsewhere, that the soldiers are remarkably receptive to spiritual influences. The meetings held by himself. Major Whittle and other evangelists were thronged by eager listeners. A strong side light is thrown on the religious character of our military and naval leaders by a sentence from a letter by the late Captain Gridley. one of the heroes of Manila, written to his mother just after the battle and dated on deck of the flagship Olyxnpia. In this letter, after speaking of the “splendid victory won over the Spaniards.” the captain says: "I am truly thankful to our Heavenly Father for His protection during our battle and shall give Him daily thanks.” This is the utterance of a Christian warrior and a true man. No less notable was the conduct of Captain Philip, of the Texas, in summoning his men about him immediately after the destruction of Cervera's fleet, with bared heads, to give thanks to Almighty God. Our cause is Just and holy and it has succeeded because our leaders, from President McKinley down, are men of Captain Gridley’s stamp, men of reverent spirit and righteous character!

SUFFER MONEY RATES ♦ - WITH SHRINKAGE IN RANK RESERVES RETARDS SPECULATION. 4 * Notable Advance* in Some of the Specialty Stock*—Local Markets Benefited by Rain.

Tuesday’s New York stock market was variable and irregular at all times, but was more or less under the continuing influences of the shrinking surplus reserves of the banks and the stiffer rates for money. General speculation was almost at a standstill and the movement of the market was confined largely to special stocks, the trading being highly professional throughout. The opening was higher, in sympathy with London. It quickly became evident, however, that no outside interest had been enlisted here and the professional bears attacked the list in weak spots, notably Manhattan, People’s Gas and Tobacco, and soon wiped out the earlier gains. A number of individual stocks showed consp:- uous strength all day and a rally in People’s Gas drove the bears to cover and made them more cautious. The strength became general in the late dealings under the leadership of St. Paul and the close was strong at the best prices of the day and generally at a level with Friday’s close. The fear of interrupted traffic through yellow fever quarantine was a factor in the early weakness, especially in Southern Railway preferred, but at the same time there was an advance of 2% in Illinois Central and conspicuous firmness in Louisville on the prospect of resumption of Havana traffic. Baltimore & Ohio was heavily bought by banking interests all day and had an excess gain of 5 points. Other strong features were Denver preferred. Atchison preferred, Reading first preferred, Denver & Gulf, the Pacific Coast Improvement stocks and the grangers, in sympathy with St. Paul on the very advantageous showing in the iatter’s annual report. The dominant factor in the situation continued to be the absorption of money by the United States treasury on account of subscriptions to the new bonds. Call money continued quite firm, with 3 per cent, the ruling rate and no apparent effect from the treasury announcement that the currency sixes due January next would be redeemed at once. It was somewhat remarkable that with money holding firm at a level markedly higher than the ruling rate in Ixmdon and with exchange falling under the pressure of grain and cotton Dills, there, should yet be an easing of money rates in London. The phenomenon is the more remarkable as there was continued buying of stocks in New York for London account. The condition of the money market had its reflection also in the extreme dullness of the trading in bonds, but prices were in the main firmly held. Total sales. $2,440,0(1(1.

Traile Active, with Price* Ruling; Firm and Steady. The coming of cooler temperature yesterday acted as a stimulus on trade. In all departments there was a good deal of activity. Dry goods houses, milliners, boot and shoe merchants all shared with others in the improvement. Price* ruled unusually steady and firm. It is thought sugar will go still higher and all staple groceries are in strong position. Dry goods rule steady. The hardware and iron markets are in strong position at unchanged prices. On Commission row more was doing yesterday. Receipts of fruits and vegetables have fallen off somewhat and the market is taking better shape. Provisions are moving more free!*-. Flour is steady and in better request. The hide and leather markets are both firm at unchanged prices.

The Indiana Crop Bureau has issued the following weekly report; ‘•Very warm, sunny and dry weather prevailed during the week, until Sunday, when good heavy rains fell in the central and southern portions of the State. Corn is maturing well and rapidly; the early-planted is ripe and much has been cut and put in shock; late-planted is still green In some fields and maturing only slowly; in general, the corn crop promises to be very large. Good crops of turnips and cabbages are in the fields. A fair crop of millet is being harvested. Tobacco is ripening; a good crop is being housed; in Wayne county bugs have injured the plants. The sweet potato crop is the best in years in many localities. Tomatoes, in general, yield well, and factories are busy canning. Sugar beets are a fine crop. Sorghum is being cut: sthe crop Is above average. Melon* are fine and abundant. Young clover grows rapidly. Potatoes are being dug; In general the crop is fair; in the central portion the crop is short, but few potatoes being In tiie hill. Clover hulling continues with fair results, except in some fields, w here the yield is poor. Oat threshing still continues; the yield is heavy. Rye is being sown; early-sown is coming up nicely. Most of the fields are prepared for seeding, and wheat sowing commences slowly; some farmers are waiting although the ground is in good condition Fall pasturage is being kept green by the rains. Peaches and graj.es are abundant; apples are scarce everywhere. Live stock is healthy and fat. but hog cholera still prevails in many localities.” Willie Didn't Understand.

HEAVY WHEAT RECEIPTS * C'AISED WEAKNESS AND AN EARLY ADVANCE WAS DISSIPATED. * Favorable New* for Rnll" Wnn Forthcoming In Corn and Prices Advuuccd—Pork Declined. ♦- CHICAGO, Sept. 6 —An increase in the visible supply, together with enormous receipts in the Northwest to-day, caused wheat to turn weak and an early gain was nearly all lost. September closed Vic lower and December rose %®*4c- December corn left off %c higher. May oats are unchanged to * B c up. Pork declined 17%c, laid 22%c and ribs 17',c. Wheat held very steady during the first hour, although the conditions were regarded as bearish. Some of the early transactions were %c or more above the close Saturday, September selling at 62%c and December at 61@6P4c, spot. The strength in corn was an influence to wheat and besides there was a good deal of profit-taking by shorts. Offerings were small, with the competition sharp and prices held firm for a time. The enormous receiiits in the Northwest were regarded as discouraging, being 2,983 carloads since the last report, as against 1,830 for the same time last year. Chicago received 432 cars, against 1,088 for the corresponding jieriod of 1897, and that was the only feature of this season’s receipts, compared with those of the year before, that was of a bullish character. The strength with which wheat opened was fairly well maintained until the visible sujijdy statement was completed, which showed 1,220,000 bu increase, compared with 556,000 decrease the year before. That increase was somewhat heavier than expected and prices dropped on its receipt to Vic below the highest point iireviously made for December and %c below the top for September. September opened unchanged at 62%c, Improved to 62%c and then declined to 61%e. After a little hesitation It dropped to 61%e and from that point commenced a gradual reaction to 62c, the closing iirice. December started %c higher at 60%@60%<\ advanced to 61 ®6l%e, declined to 60%e and recovered to 60%c at the close. ' , Low temperatures and repsrts of killing frosts in some districts strengthened corn early. The fear that the government report, due this week, might not show any deterioration since Aug. 1. would show no decline, however, acted as a counter to the general bullishness of the corn pit. December began %@%c higher at 80%@30%c, rose to 31c, weakened to 20%c and closed at 30%c @3o%c. Oats followed corn, but did not show as much strength as the latter.
