Th© L. B, A VV. to Be Consolidated with Other Linen—Ml*eelliineuus and Pernonal Note*. ♦ C. G. Waldo, general manager of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, was In the city yesterday. He said the C.. H. & D. v'fts seeing its most prosperous days; its gross earnings for July and August were $12G,000 ahead of those of the corresponding period of 1897, and the earnings of September bid fair to be SIOO,OOO in excess of those of September, 1807. While the Grand Army of the Republic had given the earnings quite a lift the freight earnings were ranging from SB,OOO to SIO,OOO a week ahead of those of last year. The company is not moving bo much grain as in August and September of 1897. but in miscellaneous freights the tonnage is largely in excess of last year at the corresponding period. The road is taxed to its utmost capacity, but there has not yet been any congestion of business at any point. Regarding the new depot at Indianapolis Mr. Waldo said the company was delayed by the owners of the ground not clearing it of buildings as promptly as was hoped they would. As to the rumors that the Big Four was to absorb the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, he said if the Big Four or any other company has the cash to buy the road and will pay the price it was for sale, the present owners would not take securities of the Big Four or any other line In payment. They look upon the securities of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton as gilt edged, and would prefer to hold them. On Wednesday General Manager Waldo issued a letter to heads of departments complimenting them on the excellent manner In which the heavy Grand Army business at Cincinnati was handled. •Tunica J. Hill and the B. A O. Business associates in Wall street of President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern, admitted the truth of a rumor, yesterday, that he would probably be a factor in the reorganized Baltimore & Ohio. It was not admitted that he had acquired an interest In the property, but that he expected to. It was denied that it w>as in contemplation to Identify the Baltimore & Ohio in any way with Mr. Hills Nortnwestern properties. Th© present outlet by way of Duluth and Superior to Buffalo and thence by the trunk lines, it was positively asserted, was not to he changed. It was authoritatively stated in this connection: "In so far as the Great Northern is concerned there is not the least intention of extending its workings or its connections south of St. Paul. If Mr. J J ill has become interested in the securities of the reorganized Baltimore A- Ohio Company it is purely as an individual and not a: representing his company, it is known that Mr. Hill is a great believer in the possibilities of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company provided it can be operated under the best modern methods, mose, in fact, which have mad- the success of the Great Northern.” Charged with Stealing Rails. C. A. Matts. Edward and I* H. Kurten. officials of the Iron and Metal Company, one of the largest concerns of its kind in Chicago, have arrested on a charge of larceny at the instance of the Banta Fe Railroad officials. For several months past many of the railroads entering Chicago, and especially the Santa Fe Company, have been robbed of hundreds of dollars’ worth of iron and steel rails. The rails were picked up all along the road at night and hauled away in wagons. So frequent became the thefts and so extensive the operations of the men that Chief Special Agent Quinn, of the Santa Fe, took charge of the matter, with the result that Keefe, Matts and Kurten were arrested, charged with being the thieves. Nearly one thousand feet of raiis were found in their place, but the men deny having stolen them and say they purchased .the stuff from a welldressed man. Keefe is a well-known politician of Chicago.

Personal, Local amt General Xote*. A circular announces the appointment of C. W. Ten Broeck as agent of the Lackawanna Dispatch at New York city. A. P. Blosier has been appointed passenger and ticket agent of the Michigan Central at Buffalo, vice W. H. Leslie, resigned. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern is of late showing increased earnings, the first week of September the increase reaching J4S*.3SO. The Monon has already this season reballasted to a depth of eighteen inches 100 miles of its main line, and the work is still In progress. D. L. Smith, traveling passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, is. with ex-Senator Forbes, of Coshocton, on a hunting trip through the Northwest, including Yellowstone Park. The Vandalia has already received air brake equipment for 500 cars. About 60 per cent, of the freight equipment is in condition to justify the expense of air brakes and self-couplers. The Idttsburg, Youngstown & Ashtabula, of which James Me Ore a is first vice president. has declared a semi-annual dividend of 3Vj per cent, on its preferred and 3 per cent, on its common stock. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Big Four will on Sunday resume running their low-rate excursions to Cincinnati. the C., 11. & D. running the one from Indianapolis next Sunday. While Western lines are showing such handsome increases in earnings. Eastern roads are dropping behind. The New York, New Haven & Hartford, in the last quarter, shows a decrease of $232,343. The Vandalia has agreed to hold its train on the Michigan division at Colfax to-night until the train arriving at Colfax from Indianapolis. at 8 p. m.. reaches there, on account of the state fair people. The Big Four has received an order for *SO cars to be loaded with stone at Berlin, Wis., on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, for Indianapolis. The stone is now arriving at the rate oi a trainload a day C. W. Bassett, general passenger agent of the Pittsburg & Western, has gone to Plymouth Rock, Mass., to be present today at a family reunion: This is the second annual reunion of the family at that point. J. B. Safford, formerly superintendent of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis, is visiting friends here and at Madison for a few days, lie is now superintendent of the Pittsburg, Chartlers & Youghiogheny road. There is no longer any doubt of the Intention of the Canadian Pacific road to advance passenger rates Sept. 25, thus ending what has been a very expensive passenger rate war to the Canadian and the American roads. Edward Hanncgan. for several years assistant ticket agent of the Wabash lines at Lafayette, has been appointed agent of the Wabash at Logansport, and is succeeded at Lafayette by T. J. Barnes, jr., promoted from night ticket agent. It is understood that the position of trainmaster on the Peoria & Eastern, made vacant by the death of A. J. Connelly, will be abolished and the duties of the office be performed by General Superintendent Riley and Chief Train Dispatcher Costen. The Big Four will on Sunday run an excursion over tne Michigan division to this city. On this train it will bring the German Maennerchor of Wabash, a musical association of considerable fame. They are to be the guests of the German societies here. As in this territory, the Pennsylvania js carrying a larger tonnage of freights from Chicago and Peoria than in any former period, leading all competitors. The rates are not stated, further than that the company is meeting competition at every point ft touches. The directors of the Pennsylvania on Wednesday held their dm meeting follow-

ing the summer vacation, and so encouraging were the reports regarding business that it was decided to at once resume improvements contemplated, which had been shelved earlier in the year. Among shippers the opinion prevails that in consolidating the Vanderbilt fast freight iines representatives are being dismissed who were valuable as solicitors of business, and that for the meager sum saved in salaries the loss on business will be $lO to $1 saved. The offices of the Nickel-plate, in the Board of Trade building, and that of the West Shore, in the Big Four building, will be closed Oct. 1, and the desks of the men retained will be moved into the office of William Sullivan, commercial agent of the Big Four, Norman Beckley, for many years general manager of the Cincinnati. Wabash & Michigan, now the Michigan division of the Big Four, will on Oct. 4 celebrate with his wife their golden wedding. Mr. Beckley is still general agent for the Big Four, and dees excellent work for the company. Two hundred traveling freight agents from all roads in the Central district, including Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, held their annual meeting at Toledo yesterday. The officers were re-e’.ected. Speeches on points touching the freight agents’ department were given by representatives of the various roads. W. E. Burke, trainmaster on the Michigan division of the Vandalia, wears a valuable diamond pin, the stone of which he lost in some manner while making his toilet at the Barnett House, Logansport. He offered SIOO reward for recovery, and an enterprising plumber flushed the plumbing, secured the stone and received the reward. An order for the sale of the Clover-leaf Railroad has been entered on the docket of the United States Court at Toledo for some time, hut President Kneeland’s absence from the annual meeting there on Wednesday is given out as an indication that he proposes to fight the sale as long as possible. He is said to be completing an organization to buy the stock. It is stated that the Brice syndicate has fully determined on consolidating the Lake Erie & Western, the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw and the Cincinnati Northern as one interest. The Cincinnati Northern is proving a much better investment than the Brice people had expected, and the business of the Cincinnati. Jackson & Mackinaw i.as increased perceptibly since coming under B"iee control. H. W. Cannon, president of the Chase National Bank, and J. H. Schiff, a prominent financier, have returned to New York from a trip over the Great Northern in company with President Hill. Incidentally they traveled over other Northwestern lines, and both speak highly of the condition and prospects for trade and prosperity, especially with the manufacturing and agricultural industries. C. A. Lucas, representing the Lackawan,na fast freight line in this territory, yesterday gave a dinner to the local poultry shippers at the Bates House. For some time much the larger per cent, of poultry shipped from Indianpolis and this immediate territory has gone over the Lackawanna line, which has twenty-five live poultry-carrying cars in service at this agency’s direction. The address on Tuesday of E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west, before the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents, at their annual convention at Lakewood, N. Y., is said to have been the best of any he has yet made before railway associations. His long experience as a passenger official enabled him to make some good suggestions which were of interest to passenger men.

Attention is no longer to be paid by Western lines to the provisions of the interstatecommefce law against pooling. The roads between Chicago and Missouri river points have decided to pool their freight business, and arbitrators are about to make the allotment of percentages for the several roads in the combination. The; executive officers of the Chicago and St. Paul lines have also decided to pool passenger business between those points. George K. Lowell, general superintendent of the Monon lines, who has just returned from an Eastern trip, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Lowell states that every engine the Monon has tit for service is now in use, and many of them daily doubling their regular runs, so heavy is traffic. The Monon. for the first eight months of 1898, is credited with having made the best record in arrivals of its trains at Louisville and Chicago on schedule time of any road running into either city, and its reeord at Indianapolis would be difficult to excel. Under the heading, “The Aggressive Big Four,’’ a Pittsburg paper says: "The Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis (Big Four route) is at present one of the most aggressive competitors of the Pennsylvania lines. This great road, which has made a wonderful record by running fast and splendid trains between New’ York and Cincinnati and St. Louis, has recently ordered two magnificent fast express engines, with seventy-eight-ineh drivers, to haul the Knickerbocker and Southwestern express trains. The new engines are wonderful machines. and were built at the Schenectady locomotive works." VITAL STATISTICS—SEPT. 15. IlirtliN. Lena and George Weise, 574 Weghorst street, boy.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In your editorial of last Tuesday you seem to think there is no complaint about the large annual appropriations by the Legislature to the three favored colleges in this State, while other colleges, just as good in every respect, have to rely on their own resources to meet their expenses. There certainly is just cause for complaint here, not only by the nonendowed colleges, but by the taxpayers as well. Then why should the people, farmers and others of the State, bo compelled to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to educate pupils who are abundantly! able to take care of themselves with the increased facilities now within reach of all? I think the people are being aroused to the injustice of this matter and w’ill have a hearing. Bluffton, Ind., Sept. 15. • A Fact About Onion*. Philadelphia Times. In Eastern countries, when the summer and its too often prevalent epidemics are at their height, wise folks banish onions from their table and household. The reason for this boycotting is that onions axe peculiarly susceptible to disease germs, which they quickly seize and permanently retain. An onion* from w’hich the outer skin has been peeled, is an excellent thing to place in a sick room in which an infectious disease is running its course, as it collects many germs that might otherwise do injury to those attendant upon the patient. Os course, such an onion should be renewed twice daily, and these that have been used should instantly be burntd in the heart of a hot fire, so that none of the germs may escape.

STOCKS AND BONDS UP ♦ MONEY POI'RED INTO NEW YORK MARKET AND DEMAND LIVELY. ♦ Less Apprehension Felt Over the Threatened .Stringency’ in MoneyRates—Local Trade Active. At New York yesterday money on call was strong at 2(i@s per cent.; last loan, 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4®6 per cent. Sterling exchange was weak, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.8414 for demand and at $4.82%®4.82% for sixty days; posted rates, J4.83i-ie4.SSJ4; commercial bills, [email protected]%. Silver certificates, 60%@61c; bar silver, 6044 c; Mexican dollars, 47c. At London bar silver closed steady at 28d an ounce. Total sales of stocks, 464,100 shares, including 7,950 Atchison preferred, 4.553 Baltimore & Ohio, 20,149 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 7,735 Louisville & Nashville, 13,495 Manhattan, 3,425 Missouri Pacific, 63,635 Northern ’Pacific, 15,856 Northern Pacific preferred, 7,590 Rock Island, 18,805 Union Pacific, 41,628 St. Paul, 3,095 Wabash preferred, 21,880 Union Pacific, 6,010 Minnesota Iron, 4.420 Cotton Oil, 42,171 Tobacco, 4,025 Chicago Great Western, 17,730 People's Gas, 6,337 General Electric, 56,639 Sugar, 16,200 Rubber. Very large amounts of money found their way into stocks and bonds yesterday and the apathy and depression which have hung over the share market during practically all of this week were completely dissipated. Even ougar, which at the opening showed some continued apprehension on the part of holders regarding the formidable competition impending in the trade, yielded to the prevailing influences and more than recovered its early losses on very large transactions. Manhattan, another standing resource of the bears, resisted attack and rose above the general market. When these isolated points of weakness were eliminated from the market the whole list mounted vigorously upwards and it was evident that a bull movement was in full force again. The late uneasiness over the future of the money market had completely disappeared. Ruling rates were not lower, but entire confidence was felt that they would not go higher. The calculations of treasury officials that the payments of the rest of the subscriptions on account of the new bond issue would make no further demands upon the money market and the additional decline in exchange, both continental and sterling, were the factors which served to relieve apprehension. Mercantile paper was bought for the account of Western banks, although the movement of currency from New York continues. It was early demonstrated that the late leaders of the bull market were to give place to others. The most conspicuous movement was in lower grade stocks with dividend prospects and the Pacifies were clearly the leaders. They were advanced in London before the opening and the New York market took up the advance where London left off. Northern Pacific common led the group, with an extreme advance if 3%c on enormous transactions. Baltimore & Ohio was active and strong and the new securities of the reorganized company were dealt in, when issued, at advancing prices during the day. There was also very conspicuous movement in a group of industrials including Tobacco, Rubber, People's Gas, Minnesota Iron, American Steel and Wire and. to a less degree, some others. These stocks showed advances at one time of from 2 to over 5 points. There were no reactions of any importance during the day and the closing was firm and generally near top prfees. The increased confidence in the money market outlook was very obviously reflected in the bond market, where 'there was large absorption of mortgages of all grades at advancing prices. Total sales. $3,630,000. United States threes, when issued, advanced *4 in the bid price and were very largely dealt in at 105%©105%, one block of $2”0,000 being taken at that price.

A good deal of activity was noticeable yesterday on the wholesale streets. Dry goods houses, milliners, hat and cap dealers and boot and shoe men all had a brisk trade, something which wholesale grocers, druggists, hardware men, iron merchants, confectioners and leather dealers have been enjoying for some time. Taken as a whole, merchants on the wholesale streets have no room for complaint. On Commission row there is some grumbling for several weeks past. Fruits and vegetables and other articles have been so plentiful that they have been obliged to sell at low prices and now that good prices can be obtained on choice fruits the receipts have fallen off to such an extent a3 to give cause for complaint, but vegetables are still in large supply and selling low. Produce men are doing better than at any time in months. Poultry, eggs and butter are all in active request at better prices. The local grain market Is disappointing. Receipts continue light, while there is an active request for all cereals at the following range of prices on track, as furnished by the secretary of the Board erf Trade: Wheat—No. 2 red, 64c; No. 3 red, 59@63c; September, 64c; wagon wheat, 62c.

SHARP RISE IN WHEAT * SHORTS BECAME AL4RMED ON STIFF DEMAND AND HIGHER CABLES. Cash Wheat Scored a Guin of Nearly Ue—Provlulona Weak, I'urt Losing; 12 l>Sc. 1 CHICAGO, Sept. 13. —A sharp advance at Liverpool to-day and a pressing demand for the cash article here and in the Northwest at increased premiums caused a decided rally in wheat. September closed l%c higher. Pork declined 12%@13c, lard 13c and ribs "Vic. Liverpool wheat shorts were evidently very much alarmed, as September delivery of the article was l%d higher than it closed yesterday before trading commenced here. The alarm communicated itself to their speculative brethren of the same kind in Chicago, the consequence of which was a rise in December of a bushel at the start and %c more in the next fifteen minutes. September shorts were more cruelly dealt w T ith, having to pay from lc to 2%c over last night’s close during the time of the above-named advance in December. Duluth was the only one of the Western primary markets that received anything like what might be considered heavy receipts. The daily repetition of very small receipts, however, outside of Duluth, had at length lacerated the feelings of the bears to 'a point they could no longer stand. The foreign demand for American flour was active, Chicago flour brokers reporting everything offered to the continent accepted, and Minneapolis millers also reported heavy sales. New York reported heavy acceptances of wheat offered from there and the shipping inquiry here showed an improvement. Minneapolis cash wheat advanced 2%e a bushel and cash wheat at Duluth 2%c during the first hour. Liverpool kept adding to the early advance in September and finally closed with a gain for the day of 2%d per cental, or the equivalent of 3%e a bushel. Chicago receipts were 188 cars, against 331 last year, and at Minneapolis and Duluth 944 cars, compared with SOI a year ago. Advices from Minneapolis were to the effect that the heavy rains of the last few days would cause smaller receipts at country stations for a time. The total at all Western primary markets was 1,111,000 bu, compared with 1,433,000 the corresponding day the previous year. Atlantic port clearances were 502,000 bu. The indifference of Faris and Antwerp, as shown by quotations they cabled, to the exaggerated bullishness of Liverpool and Chicago somewhat cooled the ardor of the bulls here for a time, but there remained so much desire among shorts to buy on every little concession that reactions following the moderate declines were quick during the entire forenoon. September wheat was difficult to buy and advanced during the day from 65%c at the opening to 67c and closed at 66%c, against 64%c yesterday. December opened %c higher at 63@63%c, rose irregularly to 63%b and closed at 63%e, sellers. Corn was in a disgruntled and unresponsive mood to the encouragement it might have assimilated from the strength in wheat. Speculators who for months have tried to coax corn to advance were disgusted at the poor success and appeared to contemplate the abandonment of a market so obdurately bearish in face of so many good arguments for its being otherwise. December started %c higher at 29%®29%c, advanced to 29%®29%c, sold off to 29%c and closed at 29Vi© 29 %c. A fairly active cash demand, together with the rally in wheat, steadied oats. The buying enthusiasm, however, was dampened by the indifference of corn. May began unchanged to Vic higher at 22%c, improved to 22%c, off to 22%e and closed at 22%c, sellers. Large hog receipts and lower prices at the yards settled the fate of provisions for the day. Prices were at a good, stiff decline to begin with and that made the matter worse as the session progressed. The latest trading was at practically bottom prices of the day. December pork opened Cc lower at $8.57%, weakened to $8.47% and left off at $8.47%@5.50. Lard started 5c off at $4.92% and sold off to $4.82%, buyers, the closing price. December ribs opened "Vic lower at $4.77Vi and declined to $1.70, the resting figure. Estimated receipts for to-morrow—Wheat. 175 cars; corn, 510 cars; oats, 350 cars; hogs, 25,000.
