SAYLES, 135 East Market St. HEAVY FREIGHT TRAFFIC THE BUSINESS OF LAST MONTH SI UPASSED ALL RECORDS. Receiver Malott NVIII Turn the Indiana A l.nlti' Mirliigau Road Over to It* Recent Purchaser*. At midnight, on Fob. 28, Receiver Malott will turn the Indiana & Ixike Michigan Railway over to the St. Joseph, South Bend & Southern Railroad Company. The road runs from South Bend, Ind.. to St. Joseph, Mich., and is forty miles long. When it was built It was leased to the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company at a percentage of its gross earnings. The interest on its bonds not being paid foreclosure proceedings were instituted and resulted in the sale of the property to a committee representing the bondholders, and the new' company was organized. Mr. M. L. Scudder, of New York, is president, and it is understood that Mr. F. It. Hale, now agent at St. Joseph. will lie the superintendent in charge of operations and traffic. In the reorganization scheme provision was made for funds with which to buy equipment to operate the read. Return* to the Old Basis. E. F. Cost, general freight traffic manager of the Big Four lines, announces that on everything but provisions the Company will fix the minimum carload weight at 24,000 pounds; on provisions the minimum will be 2‘>.000 pounds. It is believed that all competitors of tho Big Four wili now return to the old basis. Only ten days have passed since the order to make 30,000 pounds the basis came into force. At the last moment the Grand Trunk announced that it would establish a minimum weight of 26,000 pounds per car. and it gained eonsiderable business, shippers inferring from the road’s action that this was an opportunity to bring about a demoralization of rates, and that the efforts of the presidents to maintain tariff rates would be thwarted, the carload weight being the entering wedge. Traffic of January. In the month of January there, were received and forwarded at Indianapolis 116,502 cars, i*r.,482 being loaded. In the corresponding month of IS9B there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis 90.086 loaded cars, in 1897 . 70,127; 1896. 80,183: 1895. 71.962; 1894, 69,411; 1893 , 76.499; 1892. 84,124. January. 1899, was a record breaker; prior to 1892 the loaded car movement at Indianapolis fell below that of 1892. Out of the total of ears received and forwarded, 79,976 were handled over the Belt road. l'cmonnl, Local and General Note*. George S. Brecount, commercial, agent of the Monon lines at Cincinnati, is quite ill. Samuel B. Knight, general freight agent of the Wabash lines, is reported seriously ill. Herbert Durand, former general advertising agent of the Wabash lines, has accepted a similar position on the Mobile & Ohio. Another test of the Chicago market failed to confirm the report that the scalpers were v'<*n supplied with New York and St. Paul tickets. A. A. Zion returned yesterday front Burlington, la., whither he went to settle a suit for damages brought against the Union Railway Company. The Baltimore & Ohio, the Erie and the Wabash are opening a number of new telegraph offices in northern Indiana to aid in the prompt movement of trains. Firemen and brakemen on the Panhandle lines are arranging for a mass meeting in Pittsburg ill the near future under the auspices of*the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. J. F. Pease, who was deposed as master mechanic of the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City, will return to Delphos as superintendent of the shops at that point, a position he formerly tilled. The last few weeks the railroad hospitals have been very useful, so many trainmen have been sick and so many injured. At the hospital of the Wabash road at Peru there are now forty patients. On June 11 the National Freight Agents’ Association will hold its annual meeting at Norfolk, Va., and the local Freight Agents’ Association ot Boston has voted to attend the convention in a body. Notwithstanding the unfavorable showing of earnings the Big Four made in January, since July 1 the lines proper have earned $301,990 more tha.i in the corresponding period ending Jan. 31, 1898. The January pay roll of the shops on the Pennsylvania lines is the largest since June, 18142. At Altoona and many other of the important shops for weeks the men have been working thirteen lyours a day. There are reports of dissatisfaction among the employes on the Union Pacific over the order that they be vaccinated. At the offices in Omaha over three hundred people must be vaccinated if they wish to hold their positions. The Panhandle, which has never paid much attention to Southern business from Chicago and other Northern points, is now doing an unprecedented traffic to Louisville and Cincinnati, as well a* to Southeastern seaboard points. It is stated that the Mobile & Ohio will absorb the Georgia & Alabama, which would give the Mobile & Ohio a short through line from St. Louis to Savannah. It is further stated that the Mobile & Ohio will make arrangements to get into Chicago over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. The loss of life by railroad accidents in the United States In 1898 was 3,590. as compared with 2.764 in 1897. The number seriously injured was 2,616. as compared with 2,428 in 1897. More lives are lost and more persons injured in years when business is as heavy as in 1898 than in ordinary business years. General Manager Schaff and other Big Four officials who have been on the St. Louis and Cairo divisions the last three days returned yesterday. Their special mission was to decide what improvements wore really necessary on these divisions this year. One of the improvements will be anew depot at Paris, 111. The new general manager of the Chicago & Southeastern is finding it up-hill work to operate the road successfully. “Trains leave the track and engines are in such bad shape.’’ says the Lebanon Reporter, “that they go dead on the hands of the engineer, and the water in some of the tanks has frozen and is giving the new official much trouble.” The traveling auditors of eight of the Indianapolis lines yesterday examined the accounts of General Ticket Agent Stiltz. at the Union Station, and found them in as good shape as during the jurisdiction of the mte Daniel Donougb. who was credited with being the most correct ticket agent in every detail that the auditors had anything to do with. R. N. Archer, of Cincinnati, has brought suit for a receiver for the Hutchinson & Southern Railroad, a line running from Hutchinson to Blackwell, O. TANARUS., 115 miles The Hutchinson & Southern has lately been operated by L. E. Walker and \V. A. Bradford. Archer was at one time vice president and general manager. He claims to have purchased one-tenth of the capital stock of the company and afterwards was “frozen” out by Walker, Bradford and others. This week's issue of the Railroad Gazette contains a list of about six hundred new railroad project* in the United States. Canada and Mexico, including the proposed route, present condition of work anti names end address* * of contractors, if any. For new companies, the names and addresses of officers or promoters arc added. While probably not one mile in ten ot the entire

projected mileage will ever be built, a large portion of the railroad building of the coming year will be along these projected lines. Chicago advices report that in that city shippers are not taking kindly to the new rate conditions. The shut-down on backdoor quotations on rates is a novelty to them, as they have for years practically made their own rate sheets. In defiance of the firm stand taken by railroads to maintain rates at established tariffs east-bound shipments are seeking circuitous routes via Newport News and Norfolk, thence by steamer to New' York in order to get the benefit of lower rates. In the last few days several large shipments of flour and provisions were made by these routes, and this fact is taken to clearly indicate that rates are absolutely firm. THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON Feb. 12, 18H14—John v, 17-27. The clash l>etween Christ and the Pharisees was inevitable. They stood for a venerable ecclesiastical establishment, buttressed by tradition and authority. It sheltered them, and by its craft they had their living. Not that ail had sordid motives, but the situation was one to stunt the mind and spirit. They were naturally alert against innovations, suspicious and bigoted. They could not understand, they were afraid of the young reforming Rabbi of Nazareth. And in tfieir judgment, it would be far better that he should be put to death than that the whole fabric of eeclesiastlcism should be brought down about their ears. The incident of carrying a bed on the Sabbath provoked the impending clash. The dialectical skill of the Pharisees had been especially busy in framing the casuistry of the Sabbath. It had reached such a refinement as this; to wear a ribbon tnot sewed upon the dress) would be to carry a burden and was therefore unlawful. A man actually carrying his mat through the street on the Sabbath was the bravest innovation ever witnessed. That it was done at Jesus’ command was equivalent to His having raised a flag of levolt against ecclesiasticisrn. It was impossible to ignore it. In the deadly assault which followed Jesus bore himself with superb dignity and calmness, lie did not enter into a defense as uion former occasions. He did not justify His action on the ground of humanity, not from inferences which might be drawn from the exceptional provisions allo-wed by the Levitlcal law'. Instead of this He iifted the curtain upon His true character and mission. He lifted the curtain fully, once and forerer. He stood out before these hostile and carping ecclesiastics as the Son of God. The source, extent and nature of His authority were cast in high and clcar-cut relief. It is as if He had said: In the seventh day. the long )>eriod stretching from creation to the present, my Father has not ceased working; His upholding of nature is a continuous creation. But 1 and my Father are one. His exemption from the law of the Sabbath is mine, too. That He was not misunderstood is evident, from the fact that His enemies attempted to put Him to death for blasphemy. Jesus in a sense takes himself out of the category of men when He says; “My Father workcth. and I work.” Hut He confesses to the limitations of His human life when He says; “The Son can do nothing of himself.” Yet these limitations are in turn offset by the intimate relations between the Father and the Son. "The Father loveth and showeth the Son." Jesus now outlines tho most important of His functions as the Son of God It la as if He had said; "You marvel at the healing of an impotent man. Hut greater marvels will soon greet your eyes. You shall witness the great spiritual quickening of the day of Pentecost. And in the last day shall be the physical quickening, the resurrection of the dead. Then shall be the general judgment. Kach of these it is the function of tlie Son of God to perform. He quickens the soul dead in sin. The dead (physically) shall hear the voice of the Son of God. He has autority also to execute the judgments of the great assize.” The tables are turned. Instead of Jesus being the defendant, the Pharisees must shrive themselves of guilt. In dishonoring the Son they have dishonored the Father. THE TKACHKR’S LANTERN. First—This is declared to be the most remarkable passage of the New Testament fr m a Christological point of view. • * * It contains the Christology of Jesus Christ tn His own words. * * * A discourse the theme of which la the character, mission, authority, credentials of the Son of God. Second—Jesus demanded of the Pharisees, He demands of all men, a right attitude toward himself. Such an attitude toward Him is the essence of religion. To hear and love the Son is to honor tlie Father also. Third—There is a working which is not inconsistent with rest. God rested from creative work that He might be active in beneficence and love. * * * There is no warrant for secular work in the example of Jesus. • * • The Sabbath is not a day of sanctified sloth. Fourth—"Heareth my word;” the child may hear the parent perfectly, but if the heart does not throb with love, and the will resolve to do the thing requested, the child has not heard at all in te best sense of the w'ord. How solicitous Jesus was that people should have ears to hear! Fifth—How- opposite are the effects of Jesus’ disclosure of His Sonship. He revealed It to the woman of Samaria, and she said persuasively to her townspeople: “Is not this the Christ?”' He declared it to the Pharisees, and they persecuted and sought the more to kill Him.

The New Y’ork stock market left off yesterday with advances in the leading specialties and prominent railways, with the tone unsettled. The dealings were largely professional and were in the nature of evening contracts over the triple holiday. The early trading was practically featureless. Commission houses#had but few orders and the trading for London account was in very moderate volume without any marked tendency. The railways were inclined to sag in tho early trading. St. Paul earnings increase of $60,000 fairing below expectations. Aggressive buying of Burlington dissipated the early hesitancy and had a favorable influence on the market generally. The coalers showed particular strength, as did New Y’ork Central, Pennsylvania and the grangers generally. The usual refunding stories which lacked official confirmation were revived in connection with Burlington strength. Pacific Mail recovered an early decline. which was attributed to advices that the steamship subsidy bill w r as unlikely to pass. Sugar displayed strength, while Tobacco was weak most of the day. Tito further success about Manila hud a sentimentally beneficial influence on values. Prices rose until delivery hour, when there was a brisk soiling movement, but stocks were so well taken that a rally ensued in some quarters in the final dealings and the market closed over the holidays, to be reopened Tuesday morning. Meanwhile the bank statement will appear and much importance attaches to its character. Railroads and miscellaneous bonds were in good request throughout the day with gains of importance in some issues. Total sales, $3,850,000. United States old fours, registered, advanced 44 and the fives, registered, % in the bid price. Stock prices this week were extremely variable, with a contraction in dealings compared with the recent large volume. Comparative prices show great irregularity, with losses prevailing. The uprising at Manila exerted a disturbing effect, but speculators were inclined to view this incident as assuring the ratification of the Spanish treaty. According to the traders’ view, the disposition of this matter would be favorable to stock prices, inasmuch as it would remove one of the uncertainties of the situation. Therefore there were purchases of stock in anticipation of the Senate's action, although there were many confusing advices as to what that would be. London took a more optimistic view of the announcement that the treaty had been ratified by the Senate than that displayed by the local New York traders, who, following their custom of realizing profits on the culmination of what they regarded as favorable news, sold freely Tuesday morning, and prices receded very materially. A rally set in about noon the following day and continued until the close of dealings on Thursday. This in turn was tollow'ed by advances on Friday, coincident with the announcement of the second success of Americans operating against the Filipinos. The transactions- for London account were pretty evenly balanced for the week. The shipments from London of American securities, it was believed, would bring the last batch that London had sold. These sales in recent weeks, it was calculated, were equal In value to about $35,900,000. These sales resulted in easier monetary conditions abroad, while at the same time money appeared in abundant supply locally, there being loans at as low as 2 per cent, for call money. This is partly due to America’s receiving in part payment for her large balance of trade round amounts of gold from Auatralia. The uncertainty and hesitancy in the earlier part of the week may be attributed largely to the unfavorable Interpretation of last week’s bank statement and the curtailment of dealings, and the uncertain tone of the market later may be accounted for by speculation as to the probable showing of this week’s bank statement. Notable advances for the week were Lake Erie & Western preferred, 3%: Metropolitan Streetrailway. 2, and Consolidated Gas, 3*4. The declines include Tobacco, 8; Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis, 6; the preferred, 594. and International Silver. 2%. There was more stability to bond prices than in stocks, although values of the speculative liens fluctuated in accordance with the stock speculation. The semi-speculative issues assumed considerable prominence during the week, occasional buoyancy of these mortgages tending to create pronounced strength in the general market. United States old fours, registered, y 2, and United States fives, registered, %. United States new fours, coupon, declined 14 in the bid price. The following table, prepared by L. W. Louis, Room 11.

The grocers, druggists, dry goods houses and leather dealers are having a very brisk trade for February .and on Commission row some shipments were made in the latter part of the day. Eggs are firm at the advance of Thursday, which was forced by light arrivals on account of below-zero weather. Dry goods houses are enjoying an unusually good February business and the druggists are having a large business for midwinter. The flour market is more active at unchanged prices.

WHEAT WAS FOR SALE _4 FOREIGN NEWS TOO DISCOURAGING TO ASSIST THE BILLS. Receipt* Falling Off, but the Demand Not Lively and a Los* of a Cent Followed—Provisions Weak. CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—Discouraging foreign advices to-day and a poor cash demand caused a good deal of long wheat to be unloaded on the market, and May left off at a decline of %®lc. Corn gained %c and oats are a shade higher. Pork and lard declined 5® 7%c each and ribs 2%@&0. The Liverpool wheat market quoted a decline of from %and to %and before trading commenced here, and Argentine reported having shipped 864,000 bushels of wheat this week. Under such influences the market was weak at the start. May opened c lower at 72% l fr73c, with more sellers than buyers at the bottom figure. Chicago received seven-ty-one cars, of which seven graded contract, Minneapolis and Duluth got 275 cars, compared with 385 the corresponding day of last year. The returns of seaboard clearances of wheat and flour gave early promise that they would be heavy, and that tended to support the market for a time without, however, adding to the price. After a half hour of fluctuations measured by %c range the price of May gradually improved to 73V', and had scarcely reached that point before it began to tumble back to 73c. Reports from the stock-taking centers indicated little change in the visible either way. Western primary markets received only 3%,00) bushels, compared with 443,009 bushels a year ago, while the seaboard clearances of wheat and flour were large, amounting to 865,000 bushels. Ou tije other hand, however, foreign advices were very discouraging, and the seaboard had no shipping orders except of merest retail kind. There were several rapid fluctuations between 73c and 73%c, but near tho end, under selling by interests which have recently been good buyers. May sank until 72%c was reached, and at the close there were sellers at 72VS[t72%r. Moderate receipts and the growing conviction that they will remain so permanently strengthened corn. Country offerings were light and the buying in the pit was of a good character. Receipts were 454 cars. May opened !gc low’er at 36%@36%c, sold sparingly at 3t>V, rose to 37!4e, then eased off to i%@37c buyers, the closing price. An improvement in the cash demand and light receipts strengthened oats. There was a good speculative demand by commission houses and the market rallied sharply at one time, but eased off on liquidation of long property. Receipts were 186 cars. May begen %®%c lower at 28%(?|28%c, advanced to 28%c, then sold down to 28%!.a28%c at the close. Owing to the small run of hogs provisions started fairly firm. The market soon beca*ne weak, However, from the lack of support, and scattered selling of pork and ribs forced a decline all round.

We had light receipts on account of cold weather and the market was strong—sc to 7%0 higher, especially on light weights. We would advise caution in buying on the advance, as next week is the commencement of Lent, which will check the demand for the product, and if tho weather moderates the shipments that have been held back on account of cold weather will likely make heavy receipts and lower prlcas. We quote: 250 to 360 at $3.87% to $4.02%; 200 to 230 at $3.92% to $3.97%; 16*> to 190 at $3.85 to $3.92%; pigs and light Yorks. $3.70 to $3.80.
