Tlie InJernlnte-Comme ree Commission nuil Panrnser Ilalen The Monon Deal Said to He Cloned. Th Panhandle mtemcnt of e?timnted earning. for March will show gross eariings amountlr-5 to $l.31,737.tf, and operating fxI bsc. JUC?.1-i.4.. Both are an increase. The r"?t results from operation, less interest on bends, rentals, etc., leave the profits for the month Jlll.OS. an increase of Si 3.840.03. The estimated pross earnings for the first three months of the year are $1,007.03., an Increase oer the corresponding" months of Ir.n year of $lW.277.u. For the samp pfriol the operating expanses will show an Increase of l20(5ni.f. Proms for the three months In the estimated results are an ircrease of $."5,8$4.4. Panhandle statements lccom more anl - more Interesting each month. For months last year, while there was always an increase in gross earnings, it was ofiset by an increase in operating expenses, which left a decrease In profits. This ha hern srrarlually shifted about so that the property now shows a material increase In fnofit. At the same time, while this is ber.K done, there la still an increase in opcratirK expenses, murh of which is accounted. for by those ficures covering expenditures for improvements rather out of the ordinary. President Thonin Sella the Monon.' It seems now settled beyond doubt that Samuel Thomas and others who- held, the controlling stock of the Monon have sold the property to a New York syndicate headed by the Vanderbiits. The. Monon opf rates 37 .miles of road, a large portion f which ts in excellent condition. The company has 17 locomotives. 75 rva.enKer cars and 6,47 freight cars, and the rolling; stock is in pood condition. Samuel Thomas and his friends have controlled the road for eight years. The capital stock of th com-' luny is now $12.V..).M0. The chajige In ownership, it is said, will mean no change in th official roster, which is looked, upon a bflr.g a very competent one. The purchase of thn Monon 1. a step in a long-studied plan on the part of a coterie of New York railroad financiers, prominent among whom are the Vanderbllts. to obtain absolute control of the transportation situation between thrt Mississippi river and the- Atlantic cr-ast. Since the Eastern railway owners became convinced that Congress would not permit any more pooling they began to think of other schemes to bring together the competing roads, at least the more troublesome ones outside the Vander-bllt-Morgan-Pennsylvania circle. In order that rate cutting might be. practically ended. by a wiping, out of competition. The. plan finally adopted was to buv outright the controlling interests In. the roads that were outside the fold. The ilrst move in this plan was thrt purchase of the Chicago & Alton line, which was the key to the Chicago-St. Louis territory. The Alton was bought by the Vanderbilts and other?, who. It is ail On the best of authority, are the purchasers of the Monon. As soon as the Chtcago-St. Louia district was gobbled up the syndicate turned Its attention to the ChicagoOhio river lines, and it did not require much ligurlng to .ee that the Monon was the one read in this territory not controlled by the enemies of rate cutting. Squally Times Abend. The time is near for the Interstate-commerce Commission to take a hand In the passenger-rate business and bring the offending roads up with a sharp turn. It is said that not only are rates badly cut on all classes of business, but fme of he roads are paying excessive commissions directly to scalpers, which enables the latter to monoiolize a. large part of the regular ticket sales. If these methods are allowed to continue. It Is Centrally believed that the entire pasemrer rate situation will be completely demoralized and one of the bitterest rate wars ever known inaugurated. From Omaha it in learned that rate cutting from that point both east and west is being done on a large ftale. The Uurlington is charged with practicing all kinds of unfair methods nKaint its competitors, and with a desire to precipitate a. rate wur. Notification., it is sal 1 have beer sen; to the officials of the company vo desr.it or snutrer the consequences. The? Illff Four's Lake Connection-. The Ig Four road has closed a contract for the season of 1S?3 with the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Transit Company by which the tatter's line of lake steamers will work In connection with the Ulg Four, between Duluth and Benton Harbor. The boat line will have three steamers a week and will deliver package nnd bulk freight in large quantities In connection with thi arrangement the Hig Four has just awarded the contract for the construction of one thousand feet of new dockage alon,r the St. Joseph river front, extending from the Blar Four elevator to the Chicago & West Michigan Railroad. The depth of tho water along the dock will be sufficient for any lake &teamer to lay alongside. The cost of this improvement is. $10,waj and work is to begin in May. Peronul, LocmI nnd General Notes. James J. Mill, president of the Great Northern, sailed for Europe on Thursday. V. H. Eage. general agent of the Queen A Crescent at Chattanovga, has tendered tils resignation. The Monon on Wednesday received four new passenger cars, one a combined parlor and dining" car. James Walsh has been elected vice president of the Southern Indiana road, vice F. li. Ogden. resigned. The Wabash has withdrawn the rate of 12 cents per bo pounds on oata for export announced on Vedr.esiay. The Lake Erie & Western earned in the aecond -week of April IJ..51. against In lv..., und against $1.31 in lii7. The Pennsylvania has about decided to order ail the employes to be vaccinated. Thla ! on account of the smallpox scare on the Pittsburg dviMon. The Chesapeake A Ohio earned in the econd week of April I27..".l". ugalnt J21fc04 in the corresponding week of 1VJS. and against JJ1C&S4 la K7. It is stated that the Pennsylvania Company has under consideration further shortening th time of Its fast mail train west, cutting the time two hours. W. II. VandergTlft. fofrtlerly superintendent or tho his Four, now in Manitowoc,

Wis., was In the city yesterday en route to Ccnnersville to spend a few days. Frank E. Snow, who was at one time general passenger agent of the Canada Southern, has been appointed Joint ticket agent for the Christian Endeavor convention In Detroit In July. Tho employes of the Norfolk & Western will to-day present Joseph Robinson, former general superintendent, with an elegant solid .silver tea service as a token of their esteem for him. H. I. Miller, superintendent of the Vandalia line, was in the city yesterday, having recovered from an attack of tonsilitls which confined him to the house since his return from New Orleans. Dr. O. P. Wolcott. now residing In Milwaukee, on Wednesday celebrated his ninety-seventh birthday. He claims to have turned the first sod in the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio road. Fireman Hcbson. of the Chicago & Extern Illinois, who was injured in the wreck at Tuscola a few weeks ago, has brought suit against the company for 55xJ. The case will be tried at Mattoon, III. Shaw Stevens, formerly master of transportation of th Wabash lines, who went to California a few months ago for his health, has decided to remain in Los Angeles, and has gone into the real estate business. It is suggested that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton could, in connection with the Fori Wayne. Ioulsville Cincinnati and the Erie, establish a short line between Cincinnati and Chicago via Connersvllle and Muncie. The Great Northern has taken a step that will add greatly to the passenger rate demoralization In the West, by announcing that it v-ill pay regular commissions on sec-ond-c'ass and colonist tickets sold at points in the East. On May 1 the New Y'ork Central will Introduce the Pan-American express, a train well up in the Central standard, to run between New York and Uufialo. on nearly as f ist a schedule as that of the famous KmP'.r9 State express. The name has been copyrighted. The big freight engines of The VanJalia which haul ths preferred freight trains are scheduled, much of the distance between Indianapolis and St. louis. at a speed of twenty-eight to thirty miles sn hour, and eastbound between St. Iy)uis and Effingham thirty-three miles an hour. Chairman Caldwell, of the Western Passenger Association, thinks the time has come to reorganize tho association on a more harmonious basis and has a?ked general passenger agents of the roads interested to meet in Chicago on We-dnesday next to carry out such a programme. W. J. Deppe. assistant general passenger agent of the Ilig Four at St. Louis, s;iys regarding the reixurt that he is to go with E. O. McCormick, recently appointed passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, that he expects to remain wit'i the Hig Four as long as they pay him his salary and wish him to stay. . W. J. Pvoso, for many years freight agent of the Philadelphia. Frederick & Schuykill road, a Pennsylvania interest, has been promoted to freight agent of the United Hailways of New Jersey. G. H. Cobb, division freight agent at Altoona, will succeed Mr. Kose at Harrisburg. George Dixon on May 1 goes from Baltimore to Philadelphia as

genera! freight agent. Judge Taft. in the Federad Court at Cincinnati, yerterday held, in the case of Metropolitan Trust Company vs. the Columbus. Sandusky & Hocking Railroad Company and others, that the equities are with the Railroad Equipment Company, and a decree should be entered permitting it to take back it equipment, or it should be given a lien on the road for the property. General Manager Hays, of the Grand Trunk, when asked whther there was any truth in the story circulated ahout the time that he went abroad to the effect that plans were being perfected to amalgamate the Intercolonial with the Grand Trunk, said: "The story was absolutely without any foundation in fact. Nothing of the kind is o contemplated. We have all the railroads w want or that we can tane prcper car of at this tirce." George K. Lowell, general superintendent of the Mcnon lines, was In the city yesterday. He says the company will expend a good deal of money this season on the main line, the division between Indianapolis and Chicago now being up to a high .standard. Among other improvements will be the filling up of over rt.ooo feet of trestle?, substituting a large number of stone culverts for wooden structures, ballasting fifty miles of tlv main line with broken stone and gravel, p.nd the laving of twenty miles of new rails weighing seventy-five pounds to the yard. At the Panhandle shops, Columbus, O., compressed air is being used to move engines in and out of the machine shops. This does away with the old plan of using a yaj:d engine or a force of men. The air Is coV dueted through pipes from the boiler house, and - with lonf? hose attachments can be readily carried pome distance from the ma chine shop shifting table. The boilers of the enKines are drained of water and then filled with the compressed air until a pressure of fibout sixty or seventy pounds Is shown on the caujte. which is sufficient to move an engine a short distance. The Pennsylvania officials are pleased over the success of their experiments. C. S. Blackman. general Eastern nassen ger agent of the Big "r'our at Butfaln. and E. I. Patterson, traveling pnssenr apnt of the Big Four, ore in the city, comln West yestrdav with the Thirteenth United States Infantry, en route from Buffalo to San FrancLsro. The regiment is moved cn six trains, two passing over the Big hour, two over the A abash, one over the Nickel plate and one over the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City. Over the Big Four the two sections made the same time as does the Southwestern limited between Bellefontaine nnd IndianapolH. The soldiers are carried in Wagner sleeping cars, which are to go through to San trencisco. THE SUNDA-SCH00L LESSON April 23, lSJ.D-Jolin xlv. 1-14-Juft, the Vm, the Truth find the Life. The circumstances were sufficient to greatly agitate. The potl'i had left all to follow Jems. He was now about to leave them. Denial, betra.ral. ijrnoTnlnlous death were tmrendinjr. The much-vaunted '"kincdom" reerpei on the edge of a vortex. But candor, sympathy, courage beam out of Jesus upon His troubled followers. Ills self-oblivion Is divine. T.'nler shadow of His crofs Ills whole thought is of otherf; is of tlu men who had been "given Him." He wants the bud of faith to Mow into the flower of trust. This will be their safeguard. So He cries: "Trust God! Trust met" He lifts their thought above the material city with its house of God so soon to dissolve to the invisible city whoee foundations are secure and in whoe countless dwelling places J ihere is room for all. There is no illusion here. He appeals to the candor which has maintained between them. If the case had leen otherwis He would have informed them.. His very jroingone of the events which will prepare the way for their reunion. He has a rl,jht to assume tliat after three years of tutelage the.r know His destination, and the way He must take to arrive at It. Thomas, frr himself and the rest, discounts Jesus' declaration and confesses, Fpite of their phenomenal opportunities, their prattr-al Ijjnoranre. We can afford to condone Thomas's interrupticn. for like Martha's at her brother's tomb, it brings out an additions! and forceful declaration. Jesus Is the way. The stienm not only indicates the direction of the ocean, but he who commits himself to its bosom, it will convey him thither. So Jestis not only indicates the way to the Father, but carrier me to Him. He is the truth hy means of which one continues in the course to C!od. He Is the life, source of immortal and blissful existence. The life begins immediately, as the stream to which the traveler commits himself Is the same elen.ent as tho ocean for which he has ret out. the difference belnir in degree. And Jesus is the only way. There is no other name or foundation. He say emphatically. "1 and I only am the way." And now Jesus Identifies himself with the Father, afflrminc that welng Him is equivalent to seeing the Father. Ajrain ignorance and misapprehension obtrude themselves. Philip craves a thophany. He wants to get to kd "at a t.ound." How he misses the mark! God speaks and shows himself in His i?on more perfectly than when seen by Moses in Slr.al. or Isaiah In the temple. A revelation In moral attributes such as Jesus made in His person and is always greater and more desirable than a spectacular manifestation, however glorious and ovenwerlng. The excellence and perfection cf Jesus' revelation of the Father consists In this: He sick! and acted as God would sjteak and act in human nature. So Jesus sjv.We "not from himself." r.ct fiom thought orlg'raMnt in HI. hunnn mini, but He s-i-ok as G.m manifest In the flesh. A blissful subjective repose, a successful objective activity, arises from faith In Jesus a one with the Father. Such a faith will keep one from betnff "troubled." and will enable him to do "greater works." THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. First The anticipation of heaven has been much discounted of late. It has been railed "otherworldlinefs." Rut Jesus Justifies it when He speaks of the mansions, the place prepared, and the being with Illm. Second In Its proper order and proportion. Instead of being a deterrent from practical effort. It may be a stimulus. For degree of happiness hereafter depends upon attainments here. Third Fact that Jesus Is preparing heaven Is warrant that we shall be catisfled when we reach it. Fourth The clearness and confidence with which Jesus tpeaks of the future life is In the last dejrree reassuring. Flftli The hrat "will or. me acaln" does not sltmify any one thing, as the resurrection, jientecost, Ju.1gir.ent. or the like, but a combination of all. the result of which fhall be the taking of His Ie le to hlmrelf. SUth "Shew us" Is still the demand of s;lrItual dullness. Knowledge by faith Is always superior to the effects produced Ljr pectacuiar

Prices drifted aimlessly, mostly lower, until the final hour on 'Change, when the strength of Louisville & Nashville and some covering of shorts left the market Irregu larly changed for the day. For the greater part the market was dull and heavy, but prices fluctuated without uniformity. Little attention was given to the Samoan situ ation, but unfavorable crop reports were reflected in a moderate recession among the grangers, which, however, left off un changed. There was evidence of realizing and London sold Anaconda, Louisville and Southern preferred, but the two last named were all taken and advanced on benefits expected from their joint operation of Bir mingham Southern. Amons the specialties showing weakness during the selling move ment were Tennessee Coal and Iron. Brook lyn Transit, Continental Tobacco, Anaconda Mining. International Silver and American Smelting. Strength appeared in New Jersey Central, Wheeling & Lake Erie and Mexican Central. Colorado Fuel and Iron jumped 4 points on rumors that It was to be absorbed by Federal Steel, but the officials of the latter company had often. denied this. Colo rado Coal and Iron was also very strong. Third-avenue, Metropolitan and New York Central were weak. Interests usually prom inent In the market held aloof and com mission business was at a low ebb. the total dealings for the day beinff less than half a mlhlon shares. The disposition was shown in some quarters to await positive advices as to the condition of winter wheat. More over, there was a desire to see what the money-market developments will be. Heal ings were largely confined to the board room traders. The market closed strong. Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory char acter of the stock speculation, railway bonds continued to fcrge upward, with the well. known Issues in good demand. Total sales. $3.67O.0u0.

The dry goods houses, milliners, deal ers in paints and oils. Iron and hardware are the most benefited, but In all lines there is healthy activity. "While business is done on close mar gins, its volume Is such as to make merchants well sati?n-d with results. Prices In most lines carry a 6tcady tone, with a tendency to firmness. In staple groceries, dry goods and iron and steel articles stron; nrlces ar rrfimlnent features. The produce market Is active and prices steady at quotations. Increased receipts of eggs are not weakening the market. Green apples are about off the market. Irish potatoes are In better sup ply and easier. The orange season Is about over and but few offered, with prices very firm at the unusually high quotations for April. In other lines there are no new features.

3IARKCT AVKAKIIN'S OX REPORTED IIETTER CROP SITUATION. 3Iny Option Declines to 73 1-lc nnd Clones .Near the Bottom, with Othcr Monthn Weak. CHICAGO. April 21. Realizing to-day on reported Improvement In the crop situation weakened wheat. May and July both closed 4'5vc lower. Corn was heavy and lost sc. Oats, pork. Lard and ribs each closed a shade higher. Unexpected steadiness at Liverpool and rather light shipments from Argentine for the week pave some strength at the opening. May started Uc higher at 74U'&74:4c, and advanced to 744c Talk of scattered showers in the winter wheat country and selling by foreigners at the seaboard caused buyers to hesitate and the price reacted to 744c. The selling: was checked for a time on reports by a. prominent statistician that the total yield this year would be 10,000,000 bushels less than last year. In this upturn May touched 74j again, but a report by the Modern Miller, which emphatically pre dicted an average crop in spite of all claims In the way of crop damage, started liquida tion and May was forced off to 73UC, closing at 73c. July sold as low as 74Hc, and closed at IWalVAc. There was a notice able falling off in crop damage claims dur ing to-day's session. Chicago received sixty-nine cars, eight of which graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 271, compared with 217 for the same day last year. Re ceipts at the chief Western primary markets were 3Z9.000 bushels, against 410,0t0 a year ago. Atlantic exports of wheat and flour were equal to 400,000 bushels. Corn declined under free liquidation. All indications pointed to a large acreage for the coming season. Country offerings were more liberal, while the shipping demand was only moderate. Receipts. 202 cars. May opened 1s'3Uc lower at 344li34"sc and declined to 34V; at the close. Heavy buying by shippers and elevator concerns on a renewal of the low export rates, which were withdrawn suddenly yesterday, strengthened oats temporarily. Receipts, 15 cars. May started kc higher at 26ic advanced to 27c, reacted to Se, and dosed at 2t'S2Cc. A good cash meat demand. . together with the high rnce for hogs, strengthened pro visions early. Near the end, however, the advance was nearly all lost on account or the weakness In grains. May pork opened he higher at J3.20. ro?e to $!.22l. declined to in.ib and closed at 9.17'i. Tne range in iara and ribs was small. Estimated Receipts for Saturday heat. f4 car?; corn, 14 cars; oats, 1S3 cars; hogs, 15,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.
