The Consolidation of the Vanderbilt , + Fast Freight Lines Cannes Change* ut Indianapolis. A railway official who is as popular with employes as any In the country says he has no anxiety as to the meetings of the railway brotherhoods. The engineers’ and railway conductors’ organizations are looked upon as in some sense safety valves. Most of the men in these organizations have commenced at the bottom and well understand what is essential to make a road prosperous and its men contented, and of late years in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and, in fact, with trainmen generally there has been a steady, healthy change in sentiment. Education has taught them that safety in the movement of trains depends on the strict enforcement of rules Ihat men be sober, intelligent and skillful. Jt is well understood that with the largely increased business more care and judgment must be exercised and the head must be kept clear of intoxicating liquors. "Then,” said the official, “the relations between employes and employers are much pleasanter than a few years ago. The employe has learned that if faithful and efttcient his services are appreciated, and that the railroad companies are disposed to pay as high wages as the business will justify and make the work as agreeable to the men as possible. This can be done by regulating their work so that an engineer, a fireman, a conductor or brakeman can have a proper am wnt of rest. This has been accomplished ty a setter system in operating railways, and by reason of increasing the speed o’’ irahra the trainman is on the road fewer Louis. Another thing which has done much to strengthen the good feeling between officials'and employes is the regularity with which the pay cars make the rounds. Never before in railroad history have engineers, lnemen, conductors and hraktmen made as good pay as in the last eighteen months on Indianapolis lines.” Fast Freight Line Economies. It is now known what effect the consolidation of the Vanderbilt last freight lines will have at. Indianapolis. F. L Pomeroy, general manager of the consolidated lines operating over the New' York Central, which includes the White, Blue, Midland and Canada Southern lines; W r . F. Wilson, general manager of the lines operating over the Vest Shore road, the W r est Shore, the North Shore Dispatch and the Nickel-plate, and W. J. Street, general accountant, arrived in the city yesterday. After having completed their work at Northwestern points they will visit St. Louis and Cincinnati. The only action taken at the meeting yesterday affected the lines carrying business over the Big Four, namely, the White line, the West Shore and Nickel-plate, and the selection of representatives of the lines now consolidated resulted in the appointment of J. L. Blaker, a veteran in the servile of the White line, as general agent of the three consolidated lines, J. A. Simmons, who has been general agent of the West Shore line, as traveling agent, and Frederic Sullivan as contracting agent, all to work in harmony with William Sullivan, commercial agent of the Big Four. No action w r as taken regarding the Blue and Canada bouihern lines or the Midland line, the matter being deferred for the present. By these changes W. A. Lynn, who has been agent of the Nickel-plate at this point, and . ..oeyh Byrnes, eonttaeing agent, are out cf positions. This is the third time that Mr. Lynn has been thrown out of official position by line changes. General Manager Pomeroy was not disposed to state what the changes would be at other points, saying that he would send the official circulars piomptly. The following lines doing business here are not affected by the consolidation; The North Shore Dispatch, the Lackawanna, the Empire line, the Hoosac Tunnel line, the Traders’ Dispatch. Lehigh Vallty, the Kanawha, the Continental and the Central States Dispatch.

Will Meet in Detroit. W. A. Turk, president of the American Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents, in response to inquiry yesterday, stated that rumor that the next annual meeting of that association would be held in Chicago was in error and without foundation, and that the next annual meeting will occur Oct. 18. at the Hotel Cadillac, Detroit, Mich., in accordance with the resolution adopted at the meeting in St. Louis lust year. Ticket Brokers Fined. Fourteen railroad ticket brokers arrested at Cincinnati yesterday under a city ordinance regulating scalpers and prohibiting hawking tickets on streets were taken before the Police Court. They pleaded guilty and were fined $25 and costs. The fines were paid under protest, it being the intention of the brokers to teat the validity of the ordinance. Personal, Local and General Notes. George Lowell, general superintendent of the Monon line, was in the city yesterday. The Monon lines earned in August $302,630. against $298,978 in August, 1897, and $239,140 in 1996. The Ohio Falls car works are so busy in some departments as to be obliged to work a night force. The Wabash lines earned in the month of August $1,283,292, against $1,218,181 in August, 1897, and $1 .(*63.205 in 1896. The earnings of the Wabash the last week in August were $38,142 in excess of those of the corresponding week of I!©7. The Missouri Pacific, in the first eight months of 1898. earned $1,681,384 more than in the corresponding eight months of 1897. Vice President and General Manager Allen, of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, has gone East on a three weeks’ vacation. E. B. Clark, who has represented the Great Northern road at Detroit, goes to Pittsburg as successor of R. H. Martin, with title of district freight agent. In the year ending June 30 the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul was operated on 68.70 per cent of its gross earnings, against 66.48 per cent, in the previous year. The Evansville & Terre Haute and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois have secured contnuts to transport a large number of the troops from Southern camps north. The Railway Station Agent, published at Cleveland, has been greatly improved and the September number is one of the best ever issued, containing many timely statistics. The directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad have declared the regular semi-annual dividend of 2% per cent, on its common stock and 3% per cent, on its preferred stock. A ladies’ auxiliary' of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen has been organized at Fort Wayne. A charter is to be applied for at once, as the membership has already reached about thirty ladies. Mrs. Katie Tilden, wife of the late operator of the Big Four lines at Ansonia. Ind., has been appointed ticket agent of the Co-lumbus-Northeastern at Santa Fe. The lady will act as ticket agent, baggage and express agent and telegraph operator. H. J. Falkenbach, who has been appointed Assistant general passenger agent of the Mexican National, is to have his title changed to that of eastern passenger agent. Mr. Falkenbach was formerly general passenger agent of the Columbus & Hocking Valley. R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Toledo. St. Louis A Kansas City, yesterday went to Crawlordaville to attend the reunion of the

members of Company H, of the Thirty-fifth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers. Mr. Peirce was a lieutenant of the company ar.d never fails to be present at these reunions. The rule recently Introduced on the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago requiring conductors to make a memorandum of the passengers carried in smoking cars, firstclass coaches, parlor cars and Pullmans has been extended to the Panhandle. The stockholders of the Chicago Great Western Railway held their annual meeting yesterday and re-elected A. B. Stiekney. F. W. Weyerhouser and Arnold Kalman directors for three years. The remaining directors’ terms hold over another year. The board of directors elected officers this afternoon. All the railway companies are copying after the Pennsylvania and paying more attention to the appearance of their passenger train men and station agents, some going so far as to require white shirts, collars and cuffs, black ties and patent or wellpolished shoes. The Wabash has of late become quite strict in this matter. W. O. Thompson, secretary of the Traveling Engineers’ Association, will go to Buffalo next week to arrange for their annual convention, which will be in session four days. The association is composed of road firemen of engines on railways in the United States, Canada and Mexico. D. R. Mcßain, of the Michigan Central, is president of the organization. The office of the North Shore Dispatch at Milwaukee will be closed on Oct. 1. S. C. Tiffin, agent, retiring. F. W. Ten Winkle, agent of the Blue line at that point, is to be agent of the Canada Southern and the North Shore Dispatch. R. J. Nieoud, present agent of the West Shore, will succeed G. M. Tibbits as agent of all the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern lines. A number of Western roads are using gumbo for ballast with marked success. Gumbo is composed of a peculiar substance of earth taken from banks of creeks and small rivers in the South. It is baked in large quantities in layers. It is commonly called buckshot because it crumbles when handled, but forms a very solid and elasti* mass for ballast. It is dustless, cheap and serviceable. An official of the Monon lines said yesterday that were there any foundation for the statement that the Monon was to be absorbed by the Big Four, work on the expensive nine-mile cut-off at Bedford w r ould doubtless be suspended and the joint arrangement between the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton as to freight depots at Indianapolis would have been abandoned. These improvements will cost in the neighborhood of SIOO,OOO. H. L. Magee, general superintendent of the Wabash lines, states that the company has laid this season 27,000 tons of eightypound steel rail on its main line in Indiana and Illinois, and eighty-pound rails are being laid on the division now between Detroit and Buffalo. Mr. Magee claims the Wabash has as good a roadbed as any line in the country. On me main line in Indiana and Illinois 175 carloads of ballast are being distributed daily. A ballast spreader invented bv a shopman at Logansport is proving a success. It consists of a flat car with a wing or out-rigger on each side which is lowered when in operation to the level of the grade. The car is pushed along behind the side dump cars from which the ballast is dropped and spreads it out after them on either side or both sides, as desired. The spreaders are made of old rails. The car weighs 46,000 pounds, and at a recent test spread twentyfive carloads of crushed stone in thirty minutes as evenly as it could possibly be done by any other method.

QUICK BREAK IN STOCKS s ST. PAUL SHARES DUMPED OX THE MARKET AND QUOTATIONS FELL.

St. Paul made the stock market yesteydav morning and broke it in the afternoon. Trading was not on a large scale during the day and all interest centered in the meeting of the St. Paul directors to act on the dividend. The rumor mongers fixed the dividend rate on the common all the way from 2% to 3% per cent. Those who said that it would be 2% per cent, found little credence and the continued firmness of the stock In face of the recent heavy tone of the market and the confld<uit and heavy buying of the early hours seemed this incredulity. There was large buying of St. Paul for London account and there was very active trading on the London curb after the close there, according to cabled reports. The price was rushed up to 115 without any attention being given to the warning statement that very powerful interests in the directorate were opposed to anything more than the 2% per cent. rate. The eager bulls pointed out that the recent increase in the Burlington dividend was kept enshrouded in the same mystery up to the moment of its declaration, when the stock led a violent upward movement. The showing of the company for the last fiscal year was cited as confirming the confidence In an increased dividend disbursement, the earnings applicable to the common stock having amounted to 8 3-10 per cent., after extraordinarily heavy expenditures for improvements charged to operating expenses. When the announcement came at about 2:20 o'clock that the directors had made the semi-annual dividend only 2% per cent, the price dropped without check, except for a momentary pause at each even number, to 110%, which was 4% below the best. Numerous blocks of many thousand shares were thrown on the market with precipitate eagerness and. the market speedily took on panicky conditions. Rock Island fell in sympathy 3 points, Burlington 2 points. People’s Gas 2%, Northern Pacific preferred 2% and numerous other stocks, both in the railroad and industrial lists, between 1 and 2 points. There was a quick rally of I@l% per cent, in those stocks which suffered most severely, but St. Paul was kept back by apparently endless offerings at about 111 and closed only % above the lowest, with a very weak tone. The demoralization caused by the break in St. Paul came on a market showing considerable strength and at a level materially above Wednesday’s cl9*e. Most of this strength, to be sure, w’as due to the early advance in St. Paul, but a sharp recovery In Sugar and some other stocks which had shown early weakness and an advance of nearly 5 points from the lowest in Metropolitan Street-railway were also factors. The rate for call money, after going to 4 per cent., again eased off to 3 per cent, under the influence of the engagements of $400,000 gold for import and the prospective measures for relieving the money market by the Treasury Department. The heavy increases in the amount of government bonds deposited to secure public money showed measures of relief from the constant absorption by the treasury of cash for bond subscriptions. The dullness of the local New York time money market Indicates the conviction that the present stiffness of rates will not long continue. On the other hand discounts hardened in London. Monetary conditions, however, were entirely lost sight of in the late demoralization in the stock market. Bonds were dull and firm for most of the day, but yielded In sympathy with stocks in the late trading. Total sales, $2,900,000. United States old fours, registered, the fives and the threes, when issued, advanced Vi per cent, in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11.

BAD RUSSIAN REPORTS WITH HEAVY EXPORTS I-EXT SEW STRENGTH TO WHEAT MARKET. ♦ Heavy Northwestern Receipts Gave Bears Only a Temporary Footing— Provisions Firm Fork 20c Ip. CHICAGO, Sept. B.—Bad reports of the Russian wheat crop and heavy export shipments for tha day, together with fresh sales for export at New York, gave a strong closing to-day to a generally firm wheat market and September left off %@%c higher and December rose %@' ! %c. Corn lost %c and oats are up %c. Provisions firm. Pork advanced 20c, lard 17%c and ribs 15c. Heavy Northwestern receipts of wheat, a knowledge of which was in possession of the traders before the session opened, went a long way tow'ard neutralizing the firmness with which wheat started at Liverpool. The recent heavy and quite steady decline and the comparatively low price to which wheat had already sunk, however, apparently made friends for the grain and restrained the ardor of the bears. Chicago received 227 cars, against 295 a year ago, while the receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were 929 cars, compared with 672 last year. Liverpool, notwithstanding yesterday's decline here, was %and higher for September and %and lower for December. Reports concerning the Russian wheat crop were quite bullish from a market point of view, as disappointing harvests was the general tenor. So far this season the movement of new wheat in Russia has been small enough to give what appears to be corroboration of the poor crop reports from that country. Wheat futures were additionally strengthened near the close by a dispatch from New York to the effect that Russian grain exporters, who had sold wheat for shipment in September to the United Kingdom, were trying to have the contracts canceled, presumably because of difficulty in getting the grain. It was also stated that thirty-nine boatloads had been worked for export at New York and 175,000 bu were sold for shipment from here. The receipis at Western primary markets were 1,154,000 bu, compared with 1,259,0C0 the previous year. September opened %c higher at 62c, weakened to 61%c, improved to 62%c and closed at 62%@62%c. December started unchanged to %c up to 60%c, sold off to 60<?j60%c, rose to 60%@60%c and closed at 60%e, sellers. Speculators in corn were for the most part bearish on account of the listlessness of the shipping demand. Prices were steadied somewhat by the strength of wheat and predictions of frost in lowa to-night. The market ruled heavy, however, the seemingly strong spots in it proving to be only a delusion and a snare for the bulls. The small receipts compared with those of a year ago were ignored and heavy shipments from the seaboard were equally disregarded. December started unchanged at 30%c, sold up to 30%@30%c, weakened to 2974 c and closed at 30c, buyers. Oats followed wheat. There was a fair amount of business transacted, but the range was never wider than 74c. There was some Inquiry for cash, but bids were just enough out of line to hinder the working of any lines. May opened unchanged to %c higher at 21%@21%c, declined to 2174 c, then firmed up to 2174 c, the closing figure. Provisions made further recovery from the effect of Tuesday's yellow-fever shake-out and ruled strong. The strength was founded on the healthy legitimate basis of an excellent demand for the cash article. December pork opened 5c higher at $8.45, advanced to $8.60, the closing price. December lard started unchanged at $4.8774 and sold up to $5.05 at the close. October ribs began 5e up at $5.20, weakened to $5.15, then rallied to $5.30, sellers, the closing figure.
