SAYLES, 135 East Market St. wmmtmmmammmaummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm HOMESEEKERS’ TICKETS LINES NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER TO TAKE THEM OFF SALE FEB. 1. The Woodford Syndicate Will Be In Control of the ( lilengo Division of the P., D. A E. on Feb. J. After Feb. 1 homeseekers’ tickets will be off sale practically on all roads of importance in the Central Traffic Association and Western Passenger Association territory. This class of tickets has been on sale sonic twenty-five years, and largely increased the passenger traffic of the lines in the territory these associations cover. The traffic of this class the last few years has been falling off, until last year there was not one homeseeker ticket sold where fifteen years ago two hundred were sold. At Indianapolis alone as high as two hundred tickets, in the better days of this business, were sold on the days set for homeseekers’ excursions. Now to sell five would be a surprise, and these might be purchased in the interests of some ticket scalper and lead to rate demoralization. One of the passenger officials said that the receipts from sales of tickets last year would not pay for the advertising of the excursions and the work done by the traveling passenger agents. W. H. Taylor, assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Railway,- was in the city yesterday, and in speaking of the proposition to abolish the sale of these tickets said that while it might be a wise step for the Central Passenger Association and the Western Passenger Association, he thought it would be very for the roads south of the Ohio j’iveiT as the conditions are not the same. In the Western States much of the territory has already been taken up, and the tide in that direction has stopped, while it was just setting in to the South, and in 181)8 the Southern lines handled thousands of homeseekers who would not have been carried had there been no cheap tickets on sale or excursions to Southern points where it is desirable to settle. Further, the roads south of the Ohio river have advertised homeseekers’ excursions up to April 1, which could not well be withdrawn, as many have already purchased tickets. Personal. Local ami General Notes. A. R. Fink, of Jeffersonville, Ind., has taken a position in the railway inspection bureau at Pittsburg. The Monon earned in the third week of January $57.:{42. an increase over the corresponding week of IS9S of $4,004.

Some of the grand officers of the Order of Railway Conductors are to be present tomorrow- at the special meeting in their hall at 2 p. m. The Big Four lines proper earned in the third week of January $244,023.21, a decrease as compared with the corresponding week o' 18.% of $0.4%.05. The office of assistant master meehanic of the Wabash road at Ashley has been abolished, and J. M. Robinson has been appointed general foreman. George Bradbury, vice president and general manager of the Lake Erie & Western, who has been in N< w York for several days, left for the West yesterday. VV. E.

The gross earnings of the Wabash the third week in January were $4!t,420 in excess of those of the corresponding week of 1898, and the increase the first three woks of January is $107,555. W. F. Laird, traveling freight agent of the Chicago Great Western, has been appointed general agent of the company at St. Joseph. Mo., in charge of passenger and freight business.

The Great Northern Railroad has purchased the entire holdings in Minnesota of the Wright-Davis people, of Michigan, with the exception of their pineiamls It therefore now owns the Duluth, Mississippi River 6c Northern Railroad. C. L Gist, who has been appointed superintendent of transportation of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, commenced railroad service on the Ohio & Mississippi, later going to the Pennsylvania lines and in ISSB was appointed chief train dispatcher of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie. The freight tonnage of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton lines in the year 1898 was the heaviest in any year in the road’s history. There have been years in which larger earnings have been shown. The revenue from passenger service whs the satisfactory for some years. The present earnings of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul are the largest in the history of the company. In the third week in January an Increase of $108,989 was shown over the corresponding wei It of 1898, and from July 1 to date the earnings are equivalent to 11 b, per cent, on its capital stock. The Big Four ran a special train yesterday from Grconeastle to Indianapolis consisting of eight passenger coaches, carrying 383 students and th.-ir freinds from De Pauw University. The thirty-eight miles were run in forty-seven minutes, the train taking a siding at Delmar, delaying it four minutes. George W. Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania, on his marriage this week was presented with a beautiful cup by his fellow-members of the famous Clover Leaf Club, of Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd will spend two months in traveling through Southern California and Mexico in a private car. On Feb. 1 the Indiana, Decatur & Western will begin to operate the division of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville recently purchased by th< Woodford syndicate. The road extends from Sidell to Olney, eighty-six miles. The old equipment of the road which Is worth rebuilding will be rebuilt at the Indiana, Decatur A- Western shops.

Hamilton & Dayton passenger officials, which were somewhat strained the Big Four, in connection with the B’olcdo 6i Ohio Central, put on a through

line between Cincinnati and Detroit, with the taking off of that train are mere pleasant. Passenger Traffic Manager Edwards, of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, did not resort to rate cutting when such competition was established, being confident that the new line would be a shortlived one. Charles Hines was yesterday appointed trainmaster of the east end of the Chicago division of the Big Four, vice Thomas Reynolds. promoted to superintendent of the Cairo division. Mr. Hines a few years ago resigned as a lieutenant in the United States army and entered railroad service as a brakeman on the Big Four: later became switchman, and then ya.dmaster at Anderson. On the breaking out of the Spanish war he offered his st rv'ees to the government and they were accepted, and with the end of the war he was honorably discharged and came back to the Big Four. Since his return he has been engaged in preparing a book of rules for the government of employes on the Big Four. HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER. Benjamin Powers Claim* to Have Been Cliused Away by Them. A call for the police from Blake and Rhode Island streets yesterday sent Bicycle Policemen Holts and Bray to the spot. They reported that they had found Benjamin Powers hiding from his wife and daughter in a saloon where he had taken refuge from the women after an illustrated curtain lecture at his home. 10,2 Hadley street. The patrol wagon brought in the entire family. They were charged with assault and battery. It developed from the neighbors’ account that Powers had been chased for several blocks by his wife and daughter before running in the saloon. He claimed to have been belabored with broomsticks, rolling pins and flatirons and had a sprained ■wrist and injuries about the head. The women were standing guard in front of the saloon when the officers arrived, waiting for Powers to come out. He is seventy-nine years old. His wife is about forty. TOPICS OF THE EDITORS PAPERS OF Ml ( II INTEREST TO THEM READ AT YESTERDAY'S SESSION. Kcnol ii t lon * Passed In the Afternoon and Officers Elected—Delegatea to the National Meeting. The twenty-second annual meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association was called to order yesterday morning in the Century Club room in the Denison, J. D. Hogate presiding and A. W. Howard secretary. After committees were appointed the association proceeded to the programme, which consisted of practical papers and talks. A. A. Hargrave, of the Rockville Republican, gave the first paper on “The Cash System.” Discussion was led by J. J. Wingate, of the Shelbyville Republican, and was then general, many different views being expressed on the delinquent subscriber and the paid-up subscriber. “Country Correspondents and How to Keep Them” was discussed by W. B. Maddoek. of the Bloomfield News, which paper has a state reputation for its excellent correspondents. F. T. Singleton, of the Martinsville Republican, read a paper on “The Party Organ.” Mr. Singleton pleaded for impartial statement of facts in the news columns—all the facts—leaving any expression of opinion to the editorial column. He insisted that the rules of discipline for the political parties are contained in the party platform and the newspaper that sticks to the platform commands the respect of friend and foe. If this respect Is not lessened by some undeserved protection of its own party or unwarranted or far-fetched attacks upon the opposition party, the people will uphold the standard it supports, provided tney are given that which they have the right to expect—complete information concerning the conduct of public affairs. Give the people the facts and they will foi nt their ow n opinions with rapiejity and correctness. Give them only a part of the tacts and they will discover the omission quickly and will generally surmise the cause. Instinctively they will suspect the paper of keeping facts to which they are entitled from them, and a long period of good conduct must precede the re-estab-lishment of such a newspaper in the good graces of the people. Mr. Singleton pioimed to the case of the Shelby Democrat, which is trying to defend the commissioners of the county for making contracts which have aroused the indignation of the people, and he commended papers of the Democratic faith that have given the people that to w’hich they are entitled—the facts in the case. M. W. Pershing, of the Tipton Advocate, who recently lost his plant by lire, gave valuable suggestions in “Lessons of a F ire” as to insurance on newspaper plants, forms of policies, etc. After an hour’s intermission for lunch, Frank W. Willis, of the Waterloo Press, gave a timely paper on “Office Leaks.” showing the many sources of petty losses which in a year amount to quite a sum in the office. An instructive paper was by W. B. Campbell, of the Anderson Herald, on “The Linotype One—machine Offices.” He presented figures showing the expenses and returns from a single machine, and he threw much light on a problem that is coming to the country press Resolutions of respect were adopted in memory of T. H. B. McCain, late of the CrawTordsvihe Journal, whose death occurred last May. The association concluded that its age and importance entitled its history to be written and put into permanent form, and a committee consisting of M. W. Pershing, M. C. Garber and A. C. Beeson, who are the only charter members now in active newspaper work, was appointed to look after the work. Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: President. A. W. Howard. Owen County Journal; secretary W. B. Campbell, Anderson Herald: first vice president, M. W. Pershing Tipton Advocate; second vice president, M. C. Garber. Madison Courier; treasurer, J. S. Conlogue, Kendallville Standard. Executive Committee—A. W. Howard. W. B. Campbell, M. W. Pershing. .1. D. Hogate, F. T. Singleton. District Committee —G. R. Stormont, W. B. Maddock, Jasper Packard. A. M. Willoughby. F. T. Singleton, \\. S. Montgomery. H. S. New. C. H. Bcpsen, M. W. F’ersnilig. Harry Strohm, W. W. Lockwood, F. W. Willis,' E. A. Jernegan. Delegates were appointed to attend the meetings of the National Editorial Association, which will be held in Portland, Ore. The date lias not yet been fixed. The delegates selected were: E. O. Rose. A. C. BeeMill, F. W. Willis. Will 11. Craig. C. S. Haas, W. B. Maddock, W. S. Montgomery. Alternates. W. B. Campbell. A. W. Tracy, 12. A. Jernegan. Fred A. Miller, C. J. Robb, J. A. Kautz. G. J. Cravens. The association adopted resolutions as follows: “Resolved, That we recognize in William McKinley, President of the United States, the embodiment of wise s', tesmanship, and that we pledge him our united support in the conduct of his administration both at home and abroad, in peace and in war. and in the upholding of sound money and protective principles of the Republican party. “Resolved, That the State of Indiana is to be congratulated ui>on the capable and clean administration of Governor James A. Mount and the condition of its creditably conducted public institutions. “Resolved. That we congratulate the Republican party of the State of Indiana upon the skillful and successful conduct of the last campaign under the direction of Chairman Charles S. Hernly and the various committees under him. "Resolved. That we congratulate the Republicans of the State upon the excellent working ability and desire of the Republican majority of the State Legislature in redeeming the party pledges. “Resolved, That we tender our sincere sympathy to Mayor Thomas Taggart and wife in their deep bereavement over the loss of their bright and promising daughter. We realize the awful burden of sorrow that Is theirs, and this brief resolution is but a feeble expression of our heartfelt eondoltwe.” The meeting adjourned at 4 o’clock, having been ere of the most successful in the history of the organization. Six new names were added to the rolls, and in every way the association is enjoying prosperity. Hiillilliih: Permits. Robert Elliott, house, corner of New Jersey and Twenty-first street. $6,900.

Silver certificates were nominal at 60%c: bar silver. 59%c; Mexican dollars. 47c. At London bar silver closed weak at 27%d an ounce. Total sales of stocks were 1,032,104 shares, including: Atchison, 16,030; Atchison preferred, 23,970; Central Pacific, 14,730; Chesapeuke& Ohio, 11,500; Burlington,23,ooo; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, 7,200; Illinois Central, 3,375; Louisville & Nashville, 22,400; Manhattan, 22,6t0; Metropolitan, 8,250; Reading preierred, 15,173; Missouri Pacific, 14.940; New York Central, 18,uot); North American, 12,900; Northern Pacific, 23.745; Northern Pacific preferred, 16,532; Ontano & Western, Rock ,sl nd, 46,4.9; fct.

The changes as a result of yesterday's trading in stocks were rather mixed, with gains predominating. The market opened with hesitancy, but this was speedily dissipated by an innux ot buying orders and the market started up under tne influence of strength in the low-priced specialties and standard stocks. Condon was a tree seller on balances, ihe sales amounting to JL.tOO shares, which encouraged the room traders to put out large short lines to check the rise. Commission anuses had a large volume of buying orders well distributed througnout tne list, which forced the bears to take back stocks alter effecting only a slight relapse m the market’s strength. Prices were forced up under the leadership of the Flower syndicate, including Rock island, People’s has and Brooklyn Transit. The low priced stocks were then taken in hand. Tennessee Coal and Iron moved up 3*4; American Spirits preferred, 2; Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred, 4%; first preferred, when issued, 4; Indianapolis & Louisville preferred, 3, and Pacinc Mail, 2 VsAmong the specialties there were advances of 2% in Rubber and 2 in Sugar, while Metropolitan moved within 2 points. There was an average rise ot over a point in tne grangers except Northwestern. The largest rise in this group was that of Rock Island, Use. Tlie coalers, Morgan stocks and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago A: St. Louis were quiet. Long Island jumped 5% and Norfolk & Western preferred, on large transactions, advanced 1%. The move on the latter was attributed to talk ot an increase in the dividend rate, ixike Erie At Western and Chicago Great Western, preferred "A," rose in the neighborhood of 2 points. The news accompanying the advance included the favorable report of the Senate commerce committee on the steamship subsidy bill, which benefited Pacific Mail, together with an explanation thai ihe new beet sugar company would not invade the American Sugar Refining Company’s territory and a number ol favorable traffic statements, including those of Northern Pacific and Southern Railway. Reading and Wabash December net changes, however, were decreases. The Lackawanna annual report, showing a deficit after dividends of over a half million dollars, was without notable effect on the stock, only one transaction appearing after the publication of the report. The denial of the rumored New York Central’s transcontinental plans was responsible for early losses in Union Pacific, which subsequently rallied, closing fractionally off for the day. In the late afternoon there was a vigorous bear raid, which reduced prices from 1 to 2 points on news agency bulletins of Aguinaldo’s proclamation of the Philippine republic being established. The stocks offered were presently freely taken, which gave a steady tone to the close. Transactions were in excess of a million shares, as on other days this week. Considerable irregularity prevailed in the bond market with the active issues favoring a downward course. Total sales, $6,215,004. Bid quotations for government bonds were unchanged.

Trade on the wholesale streets ami on Commission row yesterday was highly satisfactory. Dry goods houses, druggists, the confectioners. Lather and iron dealers and wholesale grocers shared in the activity in business, and tt tc no longer a

question as to the volume of business this month showing a handsome increase over January, 1898. In nearly every line firmness is the feature. Eggs, poultry and butter me ait* firm at the prices quoted. The cold weather has checked shipments of eggs, and the stock in c 41 storage fortunately is exhausted. Klein market shows more activity, but prices have not advanced. The same remark will apply to the hide market. On Commission row business was good yesterday. Oranges and bananas are in good supply and selling low, but oaples are very high and the retail grocers are hi Ring few. as they have been in cold storage ho. sea and rot badly when exposed to the air; still, commission merchants want ss© 6 a barrel for choice fruit.

GRAIN MARKET NERVOUS RAPID FLUCTUATIONS IN WHEAT, WITH THE CLOSE 1-4 C HIGHER. 4. Bnll \cw fame I.nte from the Continent. but Trader* Disposed to Let the Market Settle Down, CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Nervousness, as indicated by rapid and frequent fluctuations, characterized to-day’s trailing in wheat. During the last half hour of the session May showed a gain for the day of l%c, but the greater portion of the advance was lost on account of heavy realizing and May closed 14c higher. Com left off at an advance of and oats are unchanged. Pork and ribs rose 7%e each and lard o'gTVjC. Wheat started under much less excitement than it closed yesterday, but with no indication that the *bull feeling had abated to any considerable extent. May opened a shade higher at from 78c down to 77%e and while some outside buying orders were being executed improved to 7S%'U7S%e. After this demand had been satisfied several local speculators evinced an inclination to sell, not only parting with long wheat that showed a profit, but trying the short side in an experimental and conservative fashion. As there seemed to be a disposition on the part of traders with Wall-street connections to let matters settle somewhat before taking on fresh holdings, the market became heavy and May, after a number of fluctuations between 77%c and 7Se declined to 77%e. About this time a cablegram from Liverpool was received to the effect that Argentine was offering very slowly on account of decreasing premium on gold and that Russia, for political and financial reasons, was not selling much wheat. Some confidence in the legitimacy of the bull speculative feeling was imparted by the latter information and the decline was arrested in consequence. In addition to this buying orders from the outside of an urgent nature became numerous and May began to climb again. Receipts here were 170 cars, of which 14 graded contract. Minnesota and Duluth got 486 cars as compared with 594 cars a year ago, and the aggregate at Western primary markets amounted to 624,000 bushels, whereas only 374,000 bushels was received for the same day last year. Atlantic port exports of wheat and flour were enormous, amounting to 952,000 bushels. When these export figures were posted the crowd made a wild scramble to buy and May, hesitating around 78t/BC, shot up to 79c. That was a rise of IVsC for the day and the temptation to secure profits became so strong that many holders sold out and May slumped off to 77%c. During the last fifteen minutes buying again became spirited and May rose to W/c, the closing price. Cold weather and increased country offerings started corn easy. Ixieal traders disposed of long lines, but the offerings were readily absorbed by good commission house buying. During the last hour of the session rumors of heavy Wall-street buying started the crowd to cover and May rallied a cent from the low point of the day. An excellent export demand was also a factor. Profittaking during the last few minutes caused a moderate setback. Receipts were 557 cars. May opened 4c lower at 38%(®38%c, sold sparingly at 38%e. advanced quickly to 39%c, then reacted to 39Vsc, buyers, at the close. Oats kept in close touch with corn, although they did not show as much gain as did the leader. The speculative trade was slow and the demand for cash was limited to carlots. Receipts were 185 cars. May began a shade lower at 28%4728%e, declined to 28%0, improved to 29c, then weakened to 28%c, the closing price. Provisions ruled strong and higher all around. The volume of trade was large and for the first time in several months important packing interests were arrayed on the hull side. May pork opened s<®loc higher at $10.62ti(5;10.67 1 4c, declined to slo.so<® 10.57%, rose to $10.70 and closed at $10.65, buyers. The range In lard and ribs was small.
