A E. to Re Reorganised Without Farther Delay General and Personal Railway Notes. The train records show that in April there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis over the fifteen lines 120,512 cars, 83.371 being loaded, the heaviest loaded-car movement In any April, with one exception. In the history of Indianapolis lines that In April, when the heavy Letter grain shipments were passing over the Big Four lines. In April, 1S)S, there were handled at Indianapolis 99, li$ loaded car; in 1S07, 76,976; In 1S36, $0,971;' In 1S05, 80.SS7; In 1S04, 75,2C6; in 1S33, 73.845; In 1S92; 80,909, and in 1S0I, 79.743. There had never been a year when the local traffic tonnage has been as heavy as in April this year, the decrease In business being wholly in the through business east bound, as through business west bound last month was the heaviest ever known. The transfers over the Belt road, which largely represent the through business, were in April this year but 72,3)1 cars, against 82.301 la April, 139$, a decrease of 10,101, and the Belt road records show tt.it the west bound movement of loaded cars was larger than last year, the falling off being entirely in east-bound business. Reports at the city freight depots show that the platform bus iness and that In the bulk yards was considerably In excess of April, 1SI$; only In export shipments of cereal products, provisions and live stock do the shipments of last month east bound compare favorably with former years. Annual Meeting of Yanderbllt Llne. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Comjfcny, held in Cleveland yesterday, the board of directors submitted the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1X8: Total earnings, J3D,7i3,6S3; operating expenses and taxes, 13.&S,019; net earnings, $6.S,ttf3; increase in gross earnings, $4o5.D61; Increase In operating expenses and taxes. K5C529; Increase In net earnings, $70.432. Paid dividends, 7 per cent.. J3413,CK; surplus earnings to credit income account. J.V0.52). Total mileage of track operated. 32.677.19. The following directors, whose terms liad expired, were re-elected for three years: Cornelius Vanderbllt. Darius O. Mills, J. Plerpont Morgan, James Schoenmaker. The annual meeting of the shareholders of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company was also held in Cleveland yesterday. The report of the directors for the year ending Dec. 21, 10$, shows total earnings. 56.3yi.121, an increase of $r76,2u3; total expenses, taxes and terminals, $5,419,622; net earnings, Hl.s?$; total fixed charges. S&9.391. The earnings from freight traffic Increased 117.10$ and from passenger tratflo $ss. The average rate received per ton per mile was .510 cent, the average rate received per passenger per mile was 1.53 cent; decrease in net earnings, $52,(AXUi, or fc.23 per cent. This unfavorable outcome. It i: stated, reflects the prevalence of abnorally low rates and more than usually keen competition In the classes of business upon which the company is obliged to rely for its earnings. So Change In the C, II. JL D. President "Woodford, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railway, Is in Cincinnati and denies that the Vanderbllts have secured a controlling Interest in their stock as well as in that of the Monon. The stock of Woodford, Taylor,' Zimmerman and Shoemaker is held by a trustee, under bond, so that none of these- can sell without the consent of the others, and this contract Is not ortrted by the de.v.h of Taylor, l'rfsident Woodford nays: "One of the strongest arguments against such a story is the fact that the Taylor stock cannot be sold without the consent of Zimmerman and Shoemaker and my.elf. 1 cannot explain the cause or reason for the repeated rumors, or. lather, statements, except that they are started for stock Jobbing purposes. Positively there wlll.be no change whatever In the management or ownership of our road. 3 trust this statement will settle- for once and all the fal stories that ore being sent cut from Wall street." Considering Grcln Rate. A Joint meeting was held in Chicago yesterday between Eastern and Western freight men. The subject tinder discussion was the equalization of domestic and export grain rates in accordance with tbe rlswa expressed In an opinion recently tended down by the Interstate-commerce

Commission to the effect that the rate on the two cliscs of shipments should be the same. While not prepared to concede Jurisdiction to tho commission over export rates, the roads were disposed to comply with the findings of the decision, for the reason that under the present conditions there was no valid reason for having lower export than domestic rates. It was argued by the delegation, however, that circumstances might aris1 in which a strict application of the rub laid down would be a serious barrier to foreign commerce of the. country or an unjmtlriable sacrillce of the revenue of the roadi- and care has therefore to be exercised that the present compliance with the order should not be construed Into acceptance of the commission's finding, or as establishing such a precedent as would permit differences in the two classes of rates, when exiting circumstances justify such differences being made.

The Clover Leaf Deal. If the deal now pending In New York goes through the Clover Leaf system will become a part of the M.. K. & T. John D. Rockefeller Is raid to be the moving spirit in this transaction, and the first step was taken when Charles Miller was elected president at the meeting held in Toledo. To Mr. Miller was assigned the dutv of acnuirinj all the stock possible, and it is now understood that ne nas r-en successful In getting the most oi the Clover Leaf securities. Nothing can De aone till the road Is out of litigation, which is expected at any time. Mr. Rockefeller can put his boat svstem on the lakes and this connection to the Southwest together and have an independent line covering a great scope of country. Salt Ajgarresratlndr $9,000,000. Suits aggregating $9,000,000 were filed against the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo Railroad Company in the Federal Court at Columbus, O., yesterday. The Guaranty Trust Company, of New York, asks judgment for $2.0S7.K3. which it claims is due on principal and interest of bonds. M. E. Ingalls and George H. Gardiner sue the same company for $4,970,761 due on 7,iKJ0 5-per-cent. bonds. The same plaintiffs also sue the Columbus. Hocking Valley & Toledo Railroad Company and the Hooking Coal and Railroad Company for $2,198,500 due on 1.G03 Joint mortgage bonds. Promotion for Mr. Moore. Superintendent Blizard, of the Michigan division of the Big Four, has announced that Engineer of Maintenance of Way Moore, who has had control of the track, bridges and buildings along the division from Benton Harbor to North Vernon, will be placed In control of the terminals and yards at Louisville, succeeding O. K. Selby, who is appointed assistant chief engineer of the system, with headquarters at Cincinnati. It is understood a substantial Increase In Mr. Moore's salary follows this enlargement of his duties. Personal, Loral and General Notes. George S. Tyler, assistant general freight agent of the Chicago & Alton, has been seriously ill ur several days. In April there were handled on the Big Four system 4rt.",193 passengers, against 434,Kol In April, lS'JS, an increase this year of 30.397. J. T. Keith, formerly chief tra!n dispatcher of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, is now superintendent of the Hazelton division of the Lehigh Valley. PI A. Ford, general passenger agent of tho Pennsylvania lines, returned on Tuesday from the Pacitlc coast, where he had been six weeks with an Invalid wife. : R. B. Jones, general igent of the .Chicago & Rock Island, is in the city. He reports west-bound freight traffic heavy, but east-bound business a little light. The time of the Boston special of the Big Four between Boston and Cincinnati will be reduced one hour, making it the fastest tra.n between Boston and the West. John Pullen has been appointed general freight agent of the Central Vermont. Mr. Pullen has for some years been with the Grand Trunk as a division freight agent. At the bulk yards of the Pennsylvania lines at this point on South street in April there were handled 5,333 carloads of freights, the largest business ever known in April. R. D. Fowler, superintendent of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, who has been ill since Jan. 1, is so much better that he expects to resume his usual duties within .ten days. No order has yet been received to stop the weighing of mail matter. Usually it has stopped at the end of thirty-five days. It is thirty-eight days since the work commenced. The official report of John Ferguson, general baggage agent at the Union Station, shows that in April there were handled at the station 44,436 pieces of baggage, 3,911 more than in April, 1S9S. The official report of Charles Stllz, general ticket agent at the Union Station, shows that in April $10,158.10 more was received from the sales of tickets than in April, 18U3 and $2i,9S5.l0 more than in April, 1897. The Jurisdiction of W. S. Moore, engineer of maintenance of way on the Michigan division of the Big Four, has been extended, to include Louisville and Louisville terminals, he now having 320 miles of track to look after. The seven roads operating between Chicago and St. Paul are in a passenger agreement to maintain rates, and every line but one the Chicago & Rock Island has violated the agreement, and each has a $500 tine placed against it. H O. McConnick, general passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific lines, left for the Pacific coast last night, passing through here on his Southern Pacific private car, which was brought on from San Francisco for his use. Harry A. Dewey, late superintendent of locomotive service on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, will be burled at Goshen, Ind.. to-day, he dying there on Tuesday or Brlght's disease. He began railroad service in 1SC9 on the Lake Shore road. Passenger men of Western lines are working earnestly for business to Los Angeles on the occasion of the National Educational Association convention which convenes in that city this year. Thus far there has not been the enthusiasm expected. Ajutment of certain grievances occasioned the visit of the Erie Railroad president, E. B. Thomas, on Monday, and Vice President Merrill to Kent. A conference was had with the officials of the B. & T. R., and everything the men asked for was settled to their satisfaction. The Big Four yesterday rlaced in service the new dining car recently received from Barney, Smith & Co. The company now has In service seven dining cars of the most modern build between Cincinnati and Kankakee. Cincinnati and Cleveland and Bellefontaine and St. Louis. Robert Carroll, vice president and general manager of the Mobile & Ohio will retire from that position on June 1. It la stated that a Southern Railway official will succeed him. Mr. Carroll accepted this position Just after leaving the Queen & Crescent some two years ago. D. F. Llllls, who was private secretary to Presidents Newell, Caldwell and Callaway, of the Lake Shore, but who has been a clerk in tbe auditing department of the same road latxly. has accepted a position as private secretary to A. M. Waltt, the new superintendent of motive power of the New York Central. It U believed that ultimately there will be a combination of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the St. Louis & Southwestern and the Mobile & Ohio. At any rate, there are parties who are prominently interested in both the Mobile & Ohio and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and there la little doubt but a railroad deal of some magnitude will be ultimately carried oat which will greatly advance the market value of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois securities. S. H. Thompson, who died at Pittsburg on Monday, was the oldest passenger man in active service In this country. In lStl, thirty-eight years ago, B. A. Ford, now general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania line, appointed; Mr. Thompson to the position he occupied when he died. Mr. Ford and Mr. Thompson have been fast friends since the days when they were boys together, and during the entire period the deceased was a faithful representative of the Missouri Pacific passenger department. It is stated upon good authority that substantial progress has been made in the reorganization plans for the Peoria, Decatur & EvansviHe, and there has recently been mucn buying or tne reoria shares by interests which are at work upon the plan. Receiver Hopkins, who has been In New York for some time past, is believed to be working entirely upon the reorganization scheme, and from people who have been in communication with him come the suggestion that Illinois Central interests huve of late been -buyers of Peoria stock. Gossips explain this buying by attrlDUtlng to the Illinois central people a desire to get control of the property and to scale down the present first-mortgage to 3Vi per cent, bonus. A rebuilt Class R freight engine was turned out or tne shops at tort Wayne last we-K. i ne engine now lias a longer stroke, large r cylinders and increased tank capacity. Before, rebuilding the engine was rated ' to haul 1.0CO ton of freight. It is now rated at 1.2l tons, not counting car friction of eight tons to the car. On a. test trip this engin hauled 1.W0 tors, LM tons more than it had oeen rated at. i-nglneman Charles Ilattrla had charge of the Locomotive, which hauled thirty-three loaded cars eastward as far as Londonville. At that nolnt tn more loaded cars were added, all of which were hauled at surprising speed Into Allegheny. The motive power department of th FHtmbur Port Wayne & Chlcaeo at Fort Wavne is proud of tho record the rebuilt engine

The stock market moved in an uncertain manner and left off generally lower, with the declines most accentuated in the coal ers. Consolidated Gas, Sugar and American Spirits. Commission house business was small, and London and a number of pro fessionals realized profits on stocks bought at the low figure Tuesday. Much of the buying appeared to be covering of shorts. The early trading continued the strength of Tuesday's closing, but realizing and sales on the theory that the recovery nad Deen too rapid took the snap out of the market. The weakness of the coalers was on heavy sales by a prominent holder who had been carrying a long line of these properties. Disappointment was expressed in some quarters that no announcement was forth coming concerning a coal cieai now mat the New Jersey legislature has been ad journed for some time. The steel and wire stocks displayed firmness on tne oeuei mat negotiations were pending to consolidate a number of these properties. Although nothing positive as to the details could be learned. It was said that a capitalization of over $500,000,000 was contemplated. The application of American Steel and Wire to be listed by the exchange, together with dividend gossip, was an aid to that stock. Brooklyn Rapid Transit fluctuated widely and closed with over a point advance. People's Gas and Pacific Mall were also strong. The general railway list was fractionally lower. Consolidated Gas recovered some, but on the Increased cutting of gas prices again broke several points and closed nearly 2 points eft on the day. The arrangement to retire the first preferred stock of Minneapolis & St. Louis caused a rise of over 4 points in the second preferred. The closing of pool accounts in American Spirits and Sugar was said to account for the weakness in these properties. The market closed weak. ... Most of the prominent bond issues scored improvements, with the advances quite marked in some cases. Total sales, J2.bo.000.

The movement was quickly followed by all independent refineries. The current advance was really begun in London, where refine-", sugar prices have been hardening for fome days. It was forced by the decided firmness in raw. sugars, which cut down decidedly the mareln of refiners' profits.
