SAYLES, 135 East MarkctSL THE SWITCHING SERVICE ax nn:.sivc featihe or hailUOAOl.VG USUALLY O VEHLOOIvEH. Iloada AVhlch Xevfr Get In rinnnclal Straits Indianapolis Will Proliuhly Have Anollier Line. MAt Indianapolis," said a general yardmaster, "It requires sixty to sixty-five engines and crews to do switching service on the ICS private switches leading to industries and In the several yards, and there are but few Important points that there is not a large number of switching engines in conetant service. Chicago leads, 8X locomotives and crews being employed In switching service at that point. Pittsburg is another point where the service is large, pc) switching engines btlng in use there and in Pittsburg suburbs; Buffalo, St. Louis and Kansas City are points where the switching service Is extensive. A low estimate of the operations of a switching engine and crew would be tt a day, and oftener It will average $23 per day, as many switching crews are paid by the hour. The class of men employed in this service is of a much better character than fifteen years ago. A man to hold a position with a switching crew must be sober. Industrious and apt at hb work." Money-Making Ilonri. "We hear much," said a railway official, 'about roads in the Kast that are gilt-edged and great money-makers, such as the Boston & Albany, the Boston & Maine, and the Tsew York, New Haven & Hartford, but in looking the situation over one will find that In the West there are some great railroad properties. There is the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul no one has ever heard of either of these companies getting into financial straits. They always end the year free of floating debt and with a handsome sum in the treasury to pay any liability In the way of interest on bonds and dividends. The Illinois Central and the Chicago & Alton have not up to the present time been In difficulty. There are several roads which are fast getting Into good financial condition, having expended money freely on Improvements, as is the case with the Panhandle and the li'.g Four, and they are now coming to the front as profitable to operate and big money earners. A Projected Line. A few days ago mention was made that tin engineer corps was locating a line from Cloverdale to Indianapolis, and it was unGerstood that the Monon people were behind the enterprise. Later Investigation gives pood ground for the belief that such is the case. Another line has been surveyed, leaving th9 Monon at another point, and in both cases the lines have been surveyed to the western line of Marion county. It is yet undecided which will be the most feasible line should the promoters decide to proceed with the work. One of the gentlemen interested pays the line will be built and predicts that by Dec. 1 trains of the Monon will be running into Indianapolis, opening up a new and desirable territory. The new road, as a coal and stone-carrying line, can be made a paying enterprise. It is thought. The road wiil reach parts of the State now difficult of access, as West Baden Springs, Bedford and other points. Lovr Itatea for the CS. A. It. The Central Passenger Association adjourned at Pittsburg yesterday after making a rate of 1 cent a mile for the next Grand Army encampment, which will be held in Philadelphia next September. The Trunk-line Association, which controls the territory east of .Buffalo and Pittsburg, has made a rate of one fare for the round trip. Jn order not to conflict with the trunk lines the Central Passenger Association will not r-ell round trips for less than J10.&). The Central Association appointed a committee to determine the rate for dlversible trip and has asked the Trunk-line Association to appoint a similar committee. Personal, Local nnd General Notes. The loaded car movement on the Big Four Bystem proper this week has every day exceeded 5.u0x The passenger depot of the Big Four at Klkhart will be moved one hundred feet to the north and remodeled. F. G. Rogers has been appointed chief engineer of tho Ia hish Valley Transportation Company, with headquarters at Buffalo, IN'. Y. T. A. Lnwes. superintendent of motive power of the Chicago & Kastern Illinois, who has been South for ten days, has returned. M. 11 Ingalls. president of the Big Four, and party, who have been in Florida for a couplo of weeks, are expected home tomorrow. J.

Bessemer & Iike Erie contemplates establishing large shops at some point on its line to do Its own repair work and build iuw equipment. Oteorfcw Orr. conductor on the Panhandle, was buried at Pittsburg on Wednesday. A number of railroad men attended his funeral, contributing liberally In floral emblems. Fast mail train No. 11 over the Panhandle was on Wednesday hauled from Pittsburg to Columbus at an average speed of fortylive miles an hour. The train consisted of eleven mail cars. There wlil be a large convention of railroad men of the various brotherhoods at Cumberland. Md.. June. C. Concessions in transportation will bo made by the Baltimore & Ohio and other lines. Duke Nicholson, general agent of the Bed line at Chicago and ccntidential man of Traffic Manager Grammar, of the Lake Bhore road, at that point, was in the city last evening en route to Cincinnati. Tho time card of the Chicago, Indiana fc Kastern Ls published in tho Kailway Guide, giving Harry Drew the title of general manager. The road runs a passenger and freight train each way daily except Sunday. With the reorganization of the Louisville. Kvansvllle & St. Louis under control of the Fouthern Itailway it Is stated that George T. Jarvls. receiver, on h'.s retirement will be riven a good position on the Laka Frle & Western line. The equipment of the fast mall train the Wabash will put on to-morrow between Buffalo and Kansas City will consist of two mall cars, baggage car. chair car and sleeping car, with an additional chair car and fleping car for Chicago. Fast-bound lines are gradually improving Jn the movement of cars. All are still short, but have more than a week ago. One of the Indianapolis lines is about ten days behind in its business, while the others aro from lifteen to twenty days behind. It Is reported that two large car building establishments are to he bulJt In the Fast this year as an outgrowth of the organization of the American Car and Foundry Company, a trust which has absorbed the larger of the car works of the country. It 1 probable that within a short time tho Peoria & Kntem. in connection with the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy, will put on a through car between Indianapolis and Ienver, leaving Indianapolis at 7:2S a. m. reaching Denver the next afternoon ut M. A. Carmody has been appointed trainmiter of the JUver division of the Alle

M

gheny road, a Pennsylvania line, and D. M. Dunsmord trainmaster of the Low Grade division. The appointments ere an innovation in the operating department of . that road. The Chicago. Burlington & Quincy has set asidej $.. to 'mprove Its track and roadbeds on tho Missouri river division and JL'"0.-O-O will be put Into new Iron bridges. Tho company has contracted for ljO miles of new steel weighing seventy-live pounds to tho yard for these lines. A financial authority maintains that already the Baltimore Ac Ohio has become one of the important factors in the trunk line situation, owing to the aggressive attitude it is assuming in traffic matters. The company Is lncrasinK its capacity to do business on a relatively larger scale than any of its competitors. The new owners of the Ft. Joseph, South Bend & Southern Kailway, formerly the north end of the Michigan division of the Vandalla, this week received two engines from th Pittsburg locomotive works. The company will expend at once fc,00o in purchasing new equipment and jmtting the roadbed in good condition. The eastern division of the Peoria & Kastern 1h being brought up to a good standard. The bridge at Troy. O.. has been renewed with a steel structure, the fill at New Castlrt is completed and new steel girders have been placed over the opening. The work of distributing ties Is in progress. Tho wholo line will be reballasted. Julius Kruttschnltt, general manager and fourth vice president of the Southern Pacific, has issued orders to have all the apostrophes and plurals dropped from stations of the Pacific system that are named after individuals. This is to be done for the sake of uniformity, brevity and preservation of tho name originally intended. President Callaway, of the New York Central, is authority for the statement that four hundred miles of the New York Central between Albany and Buffalo will b relald with rail3 weighing one hundred tounds to the yard. A new station is to be built at Troy and the work on the new station at Albany is to be pushed to completion. K. C. Bailey, a rnssenger conductor on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, has been with the road for thirty-one years, has never lost a day b- Illness or vacation, and no accident has ever occurred to a train in his charge. He began on the road when but eleven years old as water boy for a construction gang. In the thirty-one years ho has been water boy, section man, section foreman, conductor of construction train, yardmaster, roadmaster and passenger conductor.

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON March 10, lMf John x, 1-10. Jeus had lately used those indljpensables. "light" and "water," as emblem of Ilia office and function. lie now employs a new figure, aN most as familiar, for the Hebrews were always a pastoral folk. This, with the story of The Vine and tranches (Chapter xv), is tald to be the only instance of allegory in the New Testament. The Jewish Church had grown Into a great ecclesiastical establishment, furnishing numerous offices of honor, power and emolument. These were naturally sought by the ambitious and held tenaciously by the successful. One object of this allegory is to set forth the character of these mercenaries. Like thieves they have effected an entrance in such a way that their true character has not been discovered. rut, though they have obtained the garb of office, they do not have the following of the true members. The latter. Instead of following, flee, and do not hear them. The character of these false shepherds Is further delineated. They work havoc In the hljhest Interests of men. They steal, kill and destroy In the realm of spiritual values. Their purely mercenary spirit is Indicated by the epithet "hireling." In any final crisis, when the very life of those whom they serve is nt stake, they would fly like arrant cowards. Thus, with steady and courageous hands. Jesus held the mirror before the hierarchy of Ills day. On the dark background of the false shepherd Jesus now projects the Ideal of the true. lie 1.4 one who enters upen his function in the appointed way. The Holy itplrlt (the porter) approves; the church recognize; him (the sheep hear his voice.) Ills life is sient Jn care of the flock; he calleth, leadeth. putteth forth, goeth before. Jcsua makes a decided turn In the allegory when He declares himself to be "the dcor." Entrance to the church is by the person and work of Jesus. As the Kastern nheepfold has but one door, so the church has none other than Christ. "There Is none other name under heaven given among men." Through him we come to salvation and spiritual sustenance (find pasture) and the more abundant life. Again, there are shepherds and shepherds, but Jesus Is pre-eminently the Shepherd. The evidence cf this is His voluntary surrender of life, and the reciprocal and perfect recognition subsisting between shepherd pnd streep analogous to that which maintains between Father and Son. Finally, Jesus bursts the shell of Jewish sectarianism In the generous and courageous words: "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold." It was a hint of this kind which had led these sectaries, on a former occasion, to ask scornfully. "Vill He gn and tench the Gentiles?" Alas! how they did "dissolve the pearl of charity in the acid of sect." The "one Shepherd" exalts persona above Institutions, whn He sars there shall be "one flock," not "one fold." as In the authorized version, which gives precisely the opposite sense. The reference Is to the "invisible church," made up of the faithful of every age and land. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. First Every one who enters by this door (Christ) U raved and becomes in turn a minister of grace to others (a shepherd, not the Shepherd, as in A. V.) The ratt?rn is Jesus. Every good shepherd lives for the flock. Second He who, shunning the door, climbs up from some other quarter, by that very act reveals his dishonest character and unworthy purpose. Third "To steal" and "to have life." The contrast Is that of the false and the true religion, rhariseelsm and ecr lesiastlcism fleece and kill. They have always dome so everywhere ani by whatever name they have been known. But true religion always gives the present M-i a more abundant development. "Wha:ever fr.rm of religion tends to deprive :nanklnd of Its free, natural and Joyous life is anti-Christian. The constant tendency of Christ's teaching and Influence Is to make the whole life. jocial. Intellectual, moral and spiritual, more abundant." Fourth "Lay down life, take it again." The mother lays down her life In the Mrth and rear ing of every child. She takes life again In the matured manhood and womanhood of her offspring. The analogy maintains in the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. He voluntarily surrendered His life. No one took It. Now, with Joy He "sees His seed," His spiritual ofTrprlng, and prolongs His dars in them, as the prophet said He would (Isn. lill.) Fifth "They understood rot." How their worship cf the letter hail destroyed all commerce between their minds and the relations which it set forih. (Maurice.) "The sheep did not hear them." It is the preachers of Christ who alone have secured the world's attention. "And shall be safe." The extent and assurance cf this safety are expressed in the parable, "do in and out." an Hebraistic phrase to der.cte the whole of life. "The hireling;" not every one who is hired is a hlrelirz. but he who serves only for hire. "He E'-eth before them;" Jesus tsts in His own perF( n the experiences cf Ills disciples. "The other sheep also shall hear jesus voice." iney have already heard fragments of His teaching through their nobleM fellows, but they shall now have Ills doctrine entire. VITAL STATISTICS MARCH 17.

The railways, after a display of strength In sympathy with the buoyancy in Sugar, sagged In anticipation of February net returns not meeting expectations and the result was marked net decline in these properties. A number of the active specialties moved upward, but some of the "green" industrials were exceptions, including Federal Steel, American Steel and Wire, Continental Tobacco and International Paper. These properties suffered because of the diversion of interest from them to Sugar. Sugar, which at one time was within 2U points of its record figure of Thursday, scored a net advance of r points. Glucose was up sympathetically. The aggregate of dealings, while below those of Thursday exceed three-quarters of a million shares, of which 13S.000 were Sugar. The fact that the banks have lost over $0,000,000 to the subtreasury since Friday led traders to expect an unfavorable bank statement to-morrow and en this theory they sold stocks. Among the stocks showing strength were People's Gas, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Colorado Fueland Iron. Metropolitan Street-railway, Brooklyn Transit and Manhattan, which was quoted ex dividend and ex rights. Call money rates ranged from 3 to 5 per cent., with the bulk of the business near the high figure. After most brokers had made their arrangements for loans which carry over until Monday rates receded with the closing at SfiS1 per cent. London was a seller on the advance, putting out twice as much stock as it had taken in the initial trading.

WHEAT PRICES LOWER

3IAV OITIOX AT CHICAGO TUMBLED TO 0:i-C AT ONC TIME. Corn Weaker In Sympathy, nnd the General Declining Tendency extended to ProvUloni. CHICAGO, March 17. Selling out of long wheat to-day cn tho hard spots knocked another cent off the price of May. Corn, at the close, showed a loss of He. while cats wound up at an Improvement of l,i'GVc. Provisions were also weak and lost 1223 22c, lard 2c and ribs 5c. The demoralized feeling in wheat so general at the close last night was again the prominent feature at the commencement of to-day's business. The early news was quite as discouraging: to holders as It was the day before, and at tho opening the necessary encouragement of a revival of exports appeared as remote as ever, notwithstanding yesterday's price. Liverpool started with prices from l'4d to ld below the closing figures, and followed by a further drop that brought July to a second decline. Figures on the Argentine shipments for the week were conflicting, one report placing them at 2,2G$,000 bu and another at 1,2G4,Oa bu, both of which were considerably larger than a year ago. Chicago received only 2 carloads of wheat, compared with 10S the same day last year, but Minneapolis and Duluth got 532 cars, against 273 a year ago. Aggregate receipts at primary Western markets were 512,000 bu. compared with 342,000 bu last year. Atlantic poTt clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 394.0m) bu. Indications from stock-taking centers pointed to a small increaso la the visible, against nearly 1,000,000 bu decrease tho year before? May wheat opened HSj'ic lower, at from C7c down to CTUc, and under a good demand from shorts improved to 67?ic. At the slight improve ment, however, long wheat became once more superabundant. May declined to 66c before shorts once more were attracted, but both foreign and American shorts came In again and caused a reaction to 67c. New York reported 22 boatloads sold for export to Antwerp. On this item tho price rose to G7c, but more long wheat came out and again knocked the price back to C7c and later to CG?aC It closed at tkttsC, sellers. Tho execution by commission houses of stoploss orders and the weakness in wheat caused a break in corn at the start. Light receiDts and liberal clearances, however, started shorts covering at the decline. There was considerable buying for the long account and the early loss was nearly all re covered. Receipts were 174 cars. May opened huis lower, at from SJ?sc down to i'2c, sold sparingly at Xilic rose to 34Uc, then sagged to 3V33o?ic sellers at the close. Oats were weak and lower eariy, in sympathy with wheat, but owing to an excellent demand from shippers and shorts the price lirmed up and the market closed quite strong. Receipts, L4 cars, aiay uegan wj c lower, at K'tiSttsC. advanced to 25;&''j2o:?4C, ami closed at SOttgC Pressure of loiis holdings depressed pro visions. The market did not appear to have reeunerative power of a lasting quality, as several little rallies were quickly squelched by fresh offerings of long stuff. May pork was rriiOfi lower, at S9.07U'a9.12V4. sold at X12V2, then declined to $S.i)3 and closed at $3.97ra9. The range or iara ana hds was narrow.
