S Report of the WeiKlilntf U*d Inspection Bureau—Fast Hun on the Buffalo Division of the Walmsh. e . Wall street is full of deals and rumors of deals in many of the great railway systems of the country, nearly ,all of which can bo traced to some broker's office which makes a specialty of the line of stocks mentioned in the rumor. Many of the stories are absolutely groundless, while others have some basis of fact. Among the latter Is the story widely circulated in New York yesterday that the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania interests had purchased the Lake Erie & Western Railroad. A diligent inquiry by reporters failed to confirm the statement that such a purchase had been made, though evidences of an important deal in the stock were discovered. It is positively stated and as positively denied that the stock of Calvin S. Brice has been practically disposed of to interests allied with the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania railroad systems, and that the details are now being arranged through the "Chase National Bank and Cory & Whitridge, counsel for the road, at 59 Wall street. The mileage and extent of the Lake Erie & Western are as follows: Sandusky, 0., to Peoria, 111 117.57 Indianapolis to Michigan City, Ind 160.65 Fort Wayne to Connersville. Ind 105.22 St. Marys, 0., to Minster, 0 10.00 New Castle, Ind.. to Rushviile, Ind 21.10 Trackage over other lines 2.43 ToL4miles 725.00 The Lake Erie & Western. Concerning report, Frederick W. Whitridge, chairman of the board, said: "Mrs. Brice has not sold her Lake Erie & Western stock, and, as far as I know, she doeds not intend to sell it. I do not know of any large blocks of the stock having changed hands or about to be transferred. If any such deal as is rumored were under way I should probably know of it.” Two of the other directors of the Lake Erie & Western said that they knew nothing of any movement for transfer control of the road, although the activity in the stock might indicate that an attempt by certain interests was being made to purchase the controlling interest. Only one meeting of the directors had been heid since the death of President Brice, and at that meeting the subject of a sale of the road was not discussed or even mentioned. It was said by some persons that the Big Four (the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago Sc St. Louis) had bought or was planning to buy the Lake Erie & Western. This story could not be verified, nor could others previously referred to connecting the- Vanderbilts and the Pennsylvania with the alleged effort to secure control of the Lake Erie & Western. It has been understood lor several days, says the New Y’ork Tribune, that the Big Four is now fully controlled by the Vanderbilts.

A Protitiible Bnreun. J. B. Eckman, district inspector of the Indianapolis weighing and inspection bureau, yesterday completed his annual statement for the year 1898, which shows the gain in revenue at Indianapolis for the year to have been $103,589.62; at Terre Haute, $107.486.30; at Louisville, $50,387.13; at Evansville, $16,563.74; at Vincennes, $8,754.09, the total gain at the five points for the year being $286,780.88. The gain in revenue from carload freights weighed for the year was $236,438.79; from weighing platform freights, $31,750,80; from change In classification. $lB.591.29. The following statement shows the gain In revenue to Indianapolis roads since the bureau was established; 1886, $40,821.(X); 1837, $51,507.29; 1888, $59,823.15; 1889, $94,040.10; 1890, $100,907.22; 1891, $112,241.54; 1892, $125,901.37; 1893. $117,767.84; 1894, $113,885.68; 1895, $130,520.33; 1896, $104,817.77; 1897, $103,841.24; 1898, $103,589.62; total, $1,259,664.75. This statement shows that the bureau Is a very profitable one to the roads and does no injustice to the shipper, as his goods are shipped at actual weight and on the proper classiffcation. Another Urninl. The New York Commercial Advertiser of yesterday prints a letter from W. K. Vanderbilt in respone to an article in that paper of Wednesday, which stated that negotiations are pending looking to the transfer to the New York Central, or to a company controlled absolutely by the New York Central, of the stock, common and preferred, of the Chicago & Northwestern road and of the Union Pacific road. Mr. Vanderbilt's letter follows: "My attention lias been called to an article in your money column of yesterday referring to a proposed consolidation or absorption by the New York Central of other lines. Inasmuch as this is misleading. I beg to inform you that no such consolidation is contemplated, and. so far as I am concerned, has not even been considered.” Pernonal, Local and General Note*. Samuel 11. Thompson, central passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, who has been ill for some months, has resumed his duties. General Manager Hays, of the Grand Trunk, accompanied by his wife, will leave next week on a visit to England and the continent. The passenger department of the Big Four is gradually curtailing the selling of round trip tickets between prominent points on its system. In the spring the Pittsburg. Bessemer £< I*ake Erie will establish through passenger service between Pittsburg and Butler and Erie. Fast service is proposed. Citizens of Delphos are disturbed over changes which Receiver Hunt, of the Toledo St. Louis & Kansas City, has been making! which annul Delphos as a division point. On Feb. 1 S. H. Hockaday, contracting agent of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City, at Kansas City, will become commercial agent of the company at that point, vice J. J. Collister. H. V. Carles, of the shops of the Pennsylvania road at Altoona, has been sent to Terre Haute to inspect the new ears the Terre Haute car works are building for the Pennsylvania. The shipments of stone from the Bedford quarries have been the largest during the winter months for some years, in December and thus far in January averaging fortvfive cars per day. The tax department of the Santa Fe lines will hereafter be under the personal supervision of J. J. Frey, general manager, and E. T. Cartlidne, tax commissioner, is to report direct to him. The survey ha* been completed for anew road from Florence, Ala., to Jackson. Tenn., which will connect the Illinois Central with the Mobile Sc Ohio and open up rich iron ore deposits in Tennessee. A special train trf the Wabash on Saturday made the ruff from Windsor to Sr. Thomas, 107 miles, in lit minutes. Deducting a delay of nine minutes on switches, the 107 mile* were run in 102 minutes. B. C. Vaughn and E. C. Dunnevant. of the Pittsburg Sc lake Erie, left on Wednesday night for a three weeks pleasure trip. Intending to visit Cuba before returning. Their route, as luld out. covers 8,000 miles. It is understood that the committee appointed by the Western Passenger Association to consider the proposition o increase the minimum number of miles to be traveled under the interchangeable mileage system

will recommend that the minimum mileage be increased from 2,000 to 3,000. Col. R. G. Butler, division freight agent of the Wabash at Detroit, has resigned to accept the position of agent of the Cnited States Express Company at New York, with a salary of sß.<*X> a year. Mr. Butler has been with the Wabash fourteen years. A. J. Crane, general traffic manager of the Fitchburg road, hqs made announcement of the death of Richard J. Rees, who for six years has been the foreign freight agent of that companj. He pays appropriate tribute to the deceased, his life ending with every work and duty well done. The annual report of C. H. Bronson, auditor of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, shows that in the year 1898 the road earned $28,174 on every mile operated, which, it is claimed, is the best exhibit per mile of earnings shown by any road in the country. In passenger earnings there was an increase of $80,01*) over 1897. The Chicago Sc Northwestern will, on Sunday, jiut on a train between Chicago and Omaha which will make the run daily between those two points, leaving Chicago at 8 p. m. and reaching Omaha next morning at 7:55. This is one hour and fifty-five minutes quicker than any of its present trains are scheduled, and ten minutes quicker than the new fast train put on last Sunday by the Chicago & Rock Island. The C., H. V Sc T. yesterday announced a reduction of 10 cents per ton in coal rates from the Hocking valley to Columbus. It is stated that the cut is made to meet the reduced rates given by the Norfolk & Western on West Virginia coal, which is driving the Hocking valley product out of the Ohio markets. The cut in freight rates will be followed by a similar reduction in the market price of coal. There is consternation in the ranks of general agents, traveling passenger agents, ticket agents and others identified with the ticket departments of the trunk-line railways, because the presidents have issued strict instructions to abolish the paying of commissions. For years it has been the practice for Western roads to pay commissions to ticket agents for favors received, but this has been discontinued. G. H. Waldo, car-service superintendent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and A. J. Ball, assistant superintendent of motive power of the same lines, were in the city yesterday to arrange for putting more engines and cars into the Indiana, Decatur Sc Western shops for repairs. In the last two years every locomotive, on the Indianapolis division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lias been rebuilt at the 1., D. Sc W. shops, in this city. Some of the main-line engines wiil now be sent here. C. H. Cory, superintenednt of motive power of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, claims that Engine 126, on that road, has made the best record of any engine run on any Ohio road, it running 140,000 miles without changing a Hue, while the tires of the driving wheels show only an eighth of an inch wear. For three consecutive years the engine was not sent to the shops, and when it is considered that the average run for an engine is 50.030 miles without repairs it is a good record. The Chesapeake & Ohio, in the last two years, has laid sixty miles of heavy steel rail, sixty feet in length, and the advisability of laying more of that length is under consideration. In summer the rails expand so that it requires very heavy ballast to keep the track in line, while in winter it contracts to such an extent that the ends of the rials show more or less battering. The trackmen, who favor the shorter rail, say the climate in the territory the road passes through is such as to affect the rail more than on roads farther north.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON. Jan. 29, 1899—John iv, 5-15. Jesus was transferring the scene of His ministry from Judea to Galilee. He ignored the prejudice of the Jews and gave His disci plies an object lesson by passing through Samaria. After four days’ Journey, at midday, being wearied. He sat thus upon the well. Chrysostom says: ‘‘Thus not upon a throne or chair or cushion,” but as a wayfaring man would. A woman approached. She comes, perhaps, at this unusual hour because her character made it impossible for her to come when the pure maids and matrons of Sychar visited the well. Just as she lifts the dripping jar to her head the dusty traveler asks a drink. Jesus put himself under obligations to her at the very start by His request. “We despise not him whose service we ask.” What magic in kindness! This obtuse, sinful woman, used only to epithet and blow—gentile politeness transmutes her into a docile pupil. She recognizes the nationality of the stranger. A Jew, but where is the racial prejudice. She vaguely recognizes the moral superiority of the person before her, and is prepared for the step in advance which Jesus leads her to in the next tcmaik. Poetry is in large measure the association of superior ideas with common objects. If that is so. Jesus was an ideal poet. He takes the commonest of objects, water and the quenching of thirst with this natural fluid, to portray the most uncommon exi>erience of the soul. The woman sees the enigma. While she still loosely holds to the literal, and talks of the depth of the well and lack of drawing appliances, she yet skirts the edge of the Savior’s spiritual meaning, and knows that He who talks to her is greater than the iiatrtßrch who dug the well. Jesus lets in anew ray of light when He contrasts nature’s water with the living water. Water slakes thirst for only a brief period. The gift of God is the transplanting of a perennial fountain into the soul. Tlie poor Samaritan is enamored of this "gift.” She asks for it. but in terms which reveal the fact that the husks of literalism have not all been stripped off. To be saved the toil of coming to the fountain and yet not suffer thirst is a thing to be desired. At the same time she has a dawning consciousness that the gift means more than this. Like a skillful surgeon, Jesus inserts the gleaming lancet of His question. The incidents of an adulterous career are laid bare. The thing is not done, however, in such a manner as to make her cry: “Hast thou found me out. O mine enemy?’’ but rather: “Sir, I perceive thou art a prophet.” A seared ccnscience is softened, confession is made, tears of penitence flow. She rises now’ to the high spiritual plane of Jesus' teaching and knows that the water of which He speaks is for the washing of regeneration—the gift is anew heart. In the joy of her new life she propounds a. practical question. Where shall she worship, on Gerizim or at Jerusalem? In answer, Jesus unfolds the basal principle of Christianity, that all the earth Is holy, and not one spot more so than another; that the item of topography in religion is henceforth erased, and, further, that henceforth to a spirit-God spirit sacrifices only shall be made. The woman, her clouded mind now thorouglUy illuminated, looked up and adoringly exclaimed: "Your teaching is just like that which we might expect from the Messiah himself.” Jesus accepts her loving challenge, and in despised Samaria, and to a woman, till late degraded, made His first categorical declaration of Messiahshlp. THE TEACHER’S LANTERN. First—John's gospel is no desultory narrative. He has a plan. Opens with a prologue. John Baptist’s testimony follows; then the call of disciples; next the manifestation of Jesus’ glory, Its grace at Cana, its severity at Jerusalem; now the fascinating picture of Jesus' interview with the lowliest of women is set over agatnst that of His conference with Nieudemys. Second—The Samaritan woman may represent that class who would probably never come to Jesus of their own ace rd, as Nieodemus stands for tlie inquiring class. Third—Two classes, but one gospel for both. Fourth—Jesus went through Samaria of set purpose. to break down the partition wall between races. Fifth—Divorce was one of the most flagrant e\ ils cf both the Jewish and Samaritan nations. This woman may have been legally divorced from all five of her husbands. Divorce is an ulcerous sere in any nation. Sixth—Neither come all the way hither to draw. The woman hoped to be emancipated from the humdrum of life. She was, and she was not. Probably to old ase she continued the Oriental woman's most toilsome task. But the monotonous task was transmuted into a joy. She had a new motive in life: a secret spring of strength.

William Wallace, the man with many aliases, wanted in Cleveland on the charge of defrauding a life insurance company out of $5,0C0 and arrested here on a charge of attempted swindling, was taken back to Cleveland by Detective Stanton, of that city, yesterday morning. Stanton also took with him Joseph Ganko, a man wanted for stabbing a Hebrew peddler at the same place. Ganko set up the claim that there was anoth* r man employed at the Malleable iron works in Haughvtllc. where he was arrested, whose name is the same and who quit work some time ago and removed from the city. This man, he declares, is the one the Cleveland officials want.

Stocks made substantial progress yesterday, till the closing dealings, when there was the usual protit-taking accompanied by vigorous selling for the short account which sent prices down an average of about a point, but leaving fair gains for the day. Transactions were in excess of a million and a half, being the second largest day in the history of the exchange. Expectations of an early settlement of the peace treaty and the firmness of Americans in London were important features in the market's strength. The unrest in the Philippines was passed unnoticed, and had no appreciable effect on trading. The grangers made extreme advances of from 1 to 2%c, the latter in St. Paul on its showing of a net increase for December of $336,000. Northern Pacific and Union Pacific displayed strength, although the latter eased off considerably on intimations that the Vanderbilt deal was suspended for the present. Other railways displaying special srength were Reading and Southern preferred. Among the inactive shares, St. Luis & Southwestern preferred and Minneapolis Sc St. Louis were features of strength, while Lng Island rose 4 points, and St. Louis & San Francisco first preferred advanced 5%c and over 3 points for the common and second preferred. Metropolitan continued its sensational advance of yesterday, jumping 11% to 220%, but in the final dealings reacted to 217%. Among the Flower stocks, Brooklyn Transit, People’s Gas and Federal Steel preferred, at one time, made notable gains. Sugar, Glucose, Rubber, Pacific Mail and Tennessee Coal and Iron were likewise strong features among the specialties. A number of lowpriced stocks moved up sharply. The ease of money, which is the backbone of current high prices, is shown by the quantities of funds offered for long periods c*n exceptionally easy terms. It was reported that money had been offered at 3 per cent, for a year and that large sums were being received from all parts of the country in New York. Unemployed balances in considerable sums were loaned to representatives of foreign interests at about 2% per cent, for ninety days. Northern Pacific and Chesapeake Sc Ohio were purchased for London account, while some American securities were traded in both ways. A number of commission houses did the largest business that they had executed in many years. Their purchases kept the traders on the long side until the final dealings. The feature of the bond trading was the extensive demand for the middle grade issues. which found a ready market at advancing prices. The general market was strong throughout, with the demand embracing a large variety of issues. Total sales, $7,400,000. United States government bonds are unchanged in bid prices.

Trade Less Active, with No Important Change* in Values. On the wholesale streets yesterday, after several days of very active trade, business was a little quiet in some lines. Fickle weather might have had something to do with the dullness, certainly it did on Commission row, as the commission men feared to ship goods by trains lest there would be a freeze. In prices there were no important changes, firmness, as for some days past, being the prominent feature. Receipts of eggs are falling off and prices are firmer. Despite the fact that there to la 4 plenty of apples at tlie commission houses, good stock sells as high as ever known on this market in January. Vegetables of all kinds are easy at quotations. The local grain market is fairly active. Receipts of corn arc much more satisfactory than of other cereals. Track bids yesterday, as reported by the secretary of the Board of Trade, ruled as follows: Wheat—No. 2 red, 73c; No. 3 red, 68®>72c; January, 73c: wagon wheat. 70c.

WILD DAY IN WHEAT PIT AS MICH BUSINESS AS ANY DAY DI KING THE I.EITER DEAL. ♦ May Future* Carried Up to 70 l-2e nt One Time, and Strong Baying nt the Close nt 77 7-8 Cents. CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Such an enormous business as was Jone in the wheat pit today has not had its counterpart the present season, and it is questionable if as general and heavy a trade was don© in a day during the historic Loiter deal Aggressive buying under the leadership of Wall-street operators at one time during the day forced May wheat up 4*sc over yesterday's close. Heavy realizing near the end of the session caused a reaction, and May closed with a net gain of 2%c. Corn advanced %c and oats %@%c. Pork left off 15c higher, and lard and ribs 2%c each. The bullish sentiment in wheat which got so w r ell under way yesterday continued with increased energy at the opening. Wheat leaped into the air with a skip at the very start and offerings were scarce at l@l*/ic over yesterday’s closing price. Even the ftw traders who for a minute or two thought it worth while to risk to sell a little short at such an advance soon changed their minds and found it difficult to reinstate themselves at 2c above the top price of Wednesday. Buying orders from outside sources were numerous, urgent and apparently without limit as to price. The selling was evidently confined for the most part to local scalpers, who had previously bought at low T er prices. Th'; crowd appeared to have adopted the alleged Wallstreet policy to “buy w'heat when it is weak, buy it when it is strong, and buy it all the time.’’ May started at from 76c to 76*£c, sold in heavy amounts for about fifteen minutes between the opening figures and 75%c, chiefly around 76*40, and then rose excitedly to 77c. In a few minutes it reacted to 76%c on realizing of profits by longs, then rose again to 77c, and some little brought 77*£c on the second advance. Liverpool was apparently forced into recognition of the strength prevailing here, spot wheat opening Id up and futures from l%d to l%d. The figures of the grain movement, in comparison with those of a year ago were quite out of line with the course of prices, except that Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were more liberal, amounting to 737.0D0 bu. Receipts were 143 cars, against 120 last year, and Minneapolis and Duluth got 489 cars, compared with 284 for the corresponding day the previous year. Aggregate receipts at Western primary markets were reported at 655.000 bu, whereas 250,000 bu was the total a year ago. Foreigners were largely short on May wheat here and in New York.One commission house that does a large foreign speculative business was reported to have called margins from European customers up to 80c a bu. Many European shorts were said to have sent orders to “buy in” the wheat. The announcement of this caused the greatest excitement, and as orders kept coming from all quarters to buy wheat, May shot up to 79*Ac. That was a gain of 4%e for the day, and, as the majority of traders had handsome profits coming, they took advantage of the excitement to secure them. The liquidation became so general that Inside of fifteen minutes May tumbled back to 77%c, but as quickly started on the up-turn again. The advance was cut short by the bell sounding the end of the session, and May closed at 77%c. There was a broad general trade in corn with prices strong under the influence of wheat. Wall-street furnished the bulk of buying orders, but any material advance was checked by heavy selling from the country. Receipts were large, 575 cars, but any effect this might have had was offset by the heavy export dematW. May opened *4 (t tic higher at 38%@38%t declined to 38%c. rose to 39%c, then settNd back to 38%c, sellers, at the close. Oats followed closely, paying very little attention to wheat. There was a large business transacted with comparatively few outside orders. During the last hour there was a good deal of excitement, and May started to climb rapidly, but in the last fifteen minutes profit taking caused a decline from the top. Receipts were 225 cars. May opened a shade higher at 28%c, sold at 28%c, advanced quickly to 29c, then reacted to 28%c at the close. Heavy buying of pork by a group of commission people strengthened provisions. Packers sold freely on account of liberal receipts of hogs and easier prices at the yards. May pork opened 7*%c higher at $10.50. declined to $10.42*/2, advanced to s]o.62*/ 2 , then reacted to $10.57*4. The range in lard and ribs was very narrow.

AT NEW YORK. Ruling? Prices in I’rmlnee at the Senhoard’s Commercial Metropolis. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—Rampant speculation in wheat and a further rise in prices characterized the grain session on ’Change to-day. At one time the market had scored a clean gain of 4%c on yesterday’s closing prices. This whs when May touched 82%c. This marked an advance of about 8 cents for the week. The market here opened at an advance of l%c when it gave way %e, under the pounding of exporters who have deliberately resisted the advance since its inception, notwithstanding that supplies, continental and in Great Britain, especially in Liverpool, showed a serious depletion. The reluctance of the foreigners to recognize the strength of the wheat position in this country, as claimed by the bull interest, was manifested in the partial response made to our advance of yesterday in today’s cables. As soon as the foreign contigent saw the influx of outside buying orders, however, they manirested serious alarm and joined in the buying movement. Dunng tne day the market resisted several raids, and at times looked very weak, but rallies were equally numerous, except just beiore the close, when the market dropped about l* 4 c from the highest prices under a disposition to take proms. At the close of business, however, local sentiment was decidedly bullish and the market firm in tone, a net advance of 2%@:i*#c. Exporters not only bought .tutures on a large scale; but cash grain as well, the sales of the latter from tiie Atlantic seaboard having reached 325,ui0 bags, largely worked at the gulf ports. 1< lour—Receipts, 26,000 brls; exports, 18.601 brls.

Exporters sold early in the session and caused a temporary reaction, followed by an erratic advance as indicated.
