The Panhamlle May Adopt Flan of Longcer Runs for Freight Eng;lnea -General and Personal Xotes. An Eastern financial paper devotes a lengthy article to the present policy cf managing the Wabash. mst of the comments being of a complimentary character. Among other things the article says: "Operating results have revealed continuous Improvement under General Manager Ramsey's ' remarkably intelligent supervision, and still further progress is to be anticipated. This is due. in part, to still a third class of results those produced by the-4 Jieavy outlays of the last few years for the Improvement of the physical condition of the property. The Improvement In question enables the operating department to haul bigger tralnloads. and thus to save good money. If any one Is yet In doubt as to the vita! importance of the tralnload question he should read Mr. Ramsey's report for 1S97, er that of General Manager Kendrick, of the Northern Pacific, last year. The gross earnings of the Wabash Company in the nine months to April 1 amounted to JIO.SOO.OOO, or very nearly 10 per cent, more than In the first three-quarters of the previous year. The annual interest, at all events. Is safe beyond peradventure. with a broad margin to spare, exclusive of the debentures. The debentures receive interest only if earned. Two series of obligations are being paid off this year, and July 1 will find the Wabash In very clean financial condition. The company had outstanding at the beginning of the year $430,000 In equipment notes, extending over a period of twenty-four months and payable In monthly Installments of about JIS.WX) each. The, last note will be due In June. 1900. The money with which to pay these notes is charged to operating expenses, .month by month, and the twelve months will take care of half of the $430,000. In the nine months to April 1 operating exp n es took 71 per cent, of the earnings. This unusually high ratio was due solely to the continuation of large outlays for betterments in the several maintenance departments. The company put down, last year, l?i miles of new rails, on practically onefenth of Its mileage, chiefly of eightypound weight, and had unusually heavy equipment expenses because of the opening of the Buffalo division. The policy has been continued throughout the present year, and the Increase of 81. 223,00) in expenses, against ri gain of in gross earnings, is thus fully accounted for. Work on the building of the missing link in the Des Moines division, between Moulton and Albla. Ia., Is about to begin. Its length is twenty-seven miles. In case the Wabash loses the Eel River division. In Indiana, it will doubtless build from Hutler to Fort Wayne, an easy and Inexpensive way of escape from the dilemma I nable to Equalize Export nates. Eastern and Western freight men have so far been unable to agree upon, any plan for equalizing export rates through all ports and gateways. The Western men mst at Chicago again yesterday and decided to refer the whole question back to the executive officers. They agreed that the only way In which the nutter could be handled was on through rates to Europe, and on those lines made certain recommendations to the executive officers. They advocate the appointment of a Joint agent, who should name the throuph export rates every dny, arriving at such a rate by taking a combination of the lowest grade made through any port or gateway. This would not apply to grain, which the lines say cannot be hauled on through tariff!, but would cover flour, provisions and practically everything in the bulk line. The DlftT Four Deal at Seymour. The Evening Democrat, of Seymour, prints a t pecial edition this morning giving an account of the purchase of property located In the center of Seymour by the Southern Indiana and Rig Four railroad companies for $123,000, The companies will expend $173,000 more in erecting passenger and freight depots, machine shops and roundhouse". I-ite last night the City Council of Seymour granted a, right of way along he Pennsylvania tracks on Indianapolis to fit. Louis avenue and along the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern tracks from Indianapolis avenue to O'Brien street. The railroad deal is one of the largest ever transacted In Seymour, and the Council voted unanimously in granting the use of the streets. Personal, Local and General Notes. D.

Kersher has been appointed general freight arent of the Pennsylvania division of the New York Central, and V. I J lerrirnan " division coal agent for the l:each Creek district. It Is stated that John MaeKenzie. who for ten years liaa teea tae Jycrtzitendent cf

motive power of the Nickel-plate' line, is to be given a more Important position on the Var.derbilt lines east. The old brick passenger station at Lafayette Junction, built by the Big Four and the Wabnsh when the Indiarapolis s Lafayette road and Wabash were constructed, is to be abandoned. The officials of the Wabah lines at St. Louis have contributed $.7J0 to the relkf fund of cyclone sufferers at Kirksvllle, ond the company is carrying provisions sent to the unfortunate territory free. The new Interlocking p.'ant at Lafayette has been approved by the state authorities and was put In operation yesterday. The plant has Mxty working levers, and i3 one of the most complete In the State. H. D. Lyon, motive power clerk of the Tanhandle. on Monday celebrated the nineteenth anniversary of his service with the Pennsylvania system, having commenced as a boy and worked up to the responsible position he now holds. The laborers working for Contractor McNally, grading the route for the new "South Shore" extension of the Panhandle, were reduced Saturday to $1.35 per day. A number of the men refused to go to work. Men from Wheeling took their places. The Big Four has secured options on considerable property at Anderson as a preparatory step ta removing the Michigan division yards to the south part of Anderson, where more room can b- obtained and switching done to better advantage. All the West Shore through trains began running on the New York Central tracks between Buffalo nd Schuyler Junction Mav 1. and the station facilities cf the Central will hereafter be at the disposal of West Shore passengers between those two points. Representatives cf the roads south of the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi interested In export traffic via points on the Gulf of Mexico have ben invited to meet with the Interstate-commerce Commission at Washington on May 1'). to consider the rate situation. Tho new pa?senger engines of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy do not weigh more than any passenger eneine used In the country. Instead of weighing 127 tons, as reported, they weigh 157. pounds, and the Wabash Columbian type of engine weighs 138,000 pounds. The reports that C. E. Schaff, general manager of the Big Four, will, on his return from abroad, sever his connection with the Big Four, says one of his closest friends, have no foundation. Had he Intended taking any such step he would not have prepared plans to be carried out on the Big Four on his return. The investigation now pending before the Interstate-commerce Commission Involving the legality of relative rates charged on domestic and export shipments of grain and grain products has been assigned for hearing by the commission at the United States Court rooms, postofflce buildings, city of New York, on Monday, May 13, at 11 o'clock a. m. The railroad fraternity of the lines centering at Pittsburg passed appropriate resolutions on the death of Samuel H. Thompson, who represented the Missouri Pacific at that city. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west, furnished a Pullman car to carry friends of the deceased to Cleveland, where he was buried yesterday. The first official act under the anti-pass law which on Monday became effective in Wisconsin, was performed by the State Board of Control on Wednesday, when It purchased mileage books over the Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Wisconsin Central systems for each member at a cost of $750. the. total mileage being thirty thousand miles. Committees of the trunk lines and Central Passenger Association held a joint meeting in Chicago yesterday to consider Grand Army rates. The principal question under debate was whether the usual differentials should apply in connection with this business. The committee will make two reports upon the matter and it will be taken up at next Wednesday's meeting of the Central Passenger Association. Engineer W. R, Jones, of Wilklnsburg, a member of the advisory b6ard on the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief Association, has Just returned from Philadelphia, where he attended a meeting of the board, lie reports the association in splendid condition, notwithstanding that over $75,000 was paid out for the relief of members since the first of 1SD0. The cause of such a large amount being distributed was due to an epidemic of grip. Vice Presidents McCrea. Brooks and Woods, of the Pennsylvania Company, on Wednesday made an inspection trip over the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus road. General Manager Lore, of the Pennsylvania lines west, and John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Southwestern lines, accompanying them. Tl is trip at least gives color to the statement made a few days ago that a deal Is pending by which the Pennsylvania expects to secure control of the C, A. & C. All the arrangements have been completed for the annual meeting of the Veteran Employes Association of the Pittsburg division of the7 Pennsylvania, which will be held at Altoona May 18. Among other features of this annual gathering will be the election of officers to serve for the next three years. Robert Pltcalrn is now president, Thomas Ridley vice president and John Alldred secretary-treasurer. The association was organized In Pittsburg some seven or eight years ago. and Col. Thomas E. Watt, passenger agent of the western division of the Pennsylvania lines, is regarded as the father of the association. After a most persistent fight of nearly fifteen years the Merchants" and Manufacturers' Association of Baltimore has secured to the city a general stop-over privilege "from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. This right not only includes the South, but embraces the West and other sections of the country, and undoubtedly means incalculable trade and mercantile advantages to that city, which are bound to result beneficially to the merchants, manufacturers and other business men of Baltimore. Although the B. & O. was ready to grant the right long ago. when the. mat'.er was brought up. time and again. In the Joint Traffic Association, the road was always smothered In a preponderance of negative votes. The railroad did not care to drop from the association on this account, as it would probably have caused a rate war i the Western freight or passenger business. Recently an order was Issued by the Panhandle requiring engines hauling perishable goods trains to run through to Columbus from Pltcalrn and vice versa without change. This is taken by the men as meaning that before many months the crews as well as the engines will he assigned to the long run of 2t8 miles. The passenger engines and crews are now running through from Pittsburg to Columbus, a distance of 193 miles, without change, and the passenger and freight train crews on the Fort Wayne in through service are running between Pittsburg; and Crestline, ISO miles. The trainmen of the Panhandle believe that within the next two months they will receive orders to run throuph to Columbus from IMtcalrn. 20S miles. The Panhandle. however, la not in as good condition for long runs as the Fort Wayne, as the latter line has less grades and curves, but it Is admitted by all practical railroad men that its condition la not near so good as that of the Panhandle when ballast, heavy steel rails and electric signals are considered. The annual meeting of stockholder? of thp Michigan Central Railroad was held at Eotroit yesterday. The old board of directors was re-elected, as follows: Cornelius Vanderbilt. Frederick W. Vanderbilt. Ert vin D. Worcester, Chaur.cey M. Depew. William K. Vanderbilt, H. B. Ledyard, Samuel F. Rnrger. Ashley Pond and Frederick S. Winston. Those present were Senator Chauncey M. Depew. Attorney Ashley Pond and Secretary E. D. Worcester. Sixteen million dollars of the JlSim.Oflf) capital stock was represented, chiefly by proxy. The annual report shows a total of 814.OW.HS.91 earned during the year, an increase of $343.0 The freight earnings were 5I.9X,532.S: passenger. $3.215.2?.20. The passenger traffic shows a decrease of $14.00o; freight traffic an Increase of $495,000. The gross operating expenses were increased by $23.0i. During the year two smi-annual dividends of 2 per cent, were paid, aggregating $71920. The total net revenue from the year's operations was $24.233.54, leaving a balance of $4.7X134 after paying dividends and setting aside $70.0i for a second track between Ypsiiantl and Dexter. Not 'In Trade." Washington Post. That reminds me of a conversation I overheard at a concert Wednesday evening. The persons who converged were two young women, and one of them did most of tl-e talking. "Of course, it's silly to care about such th'.ncs." said she. "but really none of my family ever were in trade. Somehow, it's kind of nice to think of. All my ancestors were land cwners: only well, my Uncle George did run away from home and got to le a a barber, but you couldn't call that being exactly In trade, you know. None of my family ever were In trade." nalldlnjr Permit. Mr, n. M. Schsd. addition. 201 North Davidson street. 75. C. A. Schnabel. rebuilding shed. 123 Eat Twelfth street. $C3. I?. F.

The New York stock market was weak most of the day, then rallied, recovering part of the earlier loss, and left 01T with an uncertain tone with net losses of subfctantial fractions prevailing. Unfounded rumors were rife, including stories of a split between prominent bua interests, the death of a prominent banker and statements that banks had called loans and refused further accommodations to a large Interest. Each of these rumors in turn was positively denied, but not until substantial declines In stocks had been effected. London was a liberal seller. Sugar was most prominent in the period of depression, dropping over 9 points, two-thirds of which was afterward recovered. The rest of the market followed the fluctuations In Sugar to a minor extent. The iron and steel stocks, local transportation shares. Anaconda and a number of tho other specialties made an average supreme drop of about 3 points, while there were numerous declines of about 1 point. With the rally In Sugar substantial recoveries occurred elsewhere, particularly in those shares which were most depressed previously, and the market thereafter became dull. Consolidated Gas was well taken and rose over 3 points. Among the railways Burlington, which sells ex. righta to-day. displayed the mot strength. There was fractional advances In Continental Tobacco, Tennessee Coal and Iron and General Electric. The more prominent net declines were In New York Central, the coalers, local New York traction companies. Iron and steel shares and In most of the grangers. There were many of the opinion that heavy liquidation for some Important Interests occurred yesterday and that much of the latter strength came from the covering of shorts. An interest which It was reported was seeking to reduce Its lines In Its specialties denied that It had any speculative ventures Just now. Commission house business was said to be the smallest for some time. Railroad bonds showed a reactionary tendency for the greater part of the day, but in the late trading conspicuous strength in Wisconsin Central firsts and support to other speculative Issues Imparted a better tone. Total sales, $3,300,000. United States threes, coupon, and the new fours, coupon, declined M.. but the fives, coupon, advanced H in the bid price. The following table, prepared by Lv W. Louis.

WEAKERWHEftT MARKET

CHICAGO REAIIS LAYING MV TROUBLE BY HEAVY SHORT SALES. Price of Crop Futures Ia Indifferent to Continual Arrival of Dullish ' XetTs Pork Lower. CHICAGO, May 4. The wheat market ruled weak to-day under a vigorous bear attack. An early advance was lost and July closed ic off. Corn lost H'OUc and oats tc. Pork declined 12Hc and ribs 2Vic. Lard closed a shade lower. Freezing weather In Nebraska and Iowa, too much rain in the Northwest for seeding purposes and a reduction of 7 points in the condition of the Ohio crop for the month Inspired a feeble rally in wheat during the early hours of the day's session. The market was, however. Indifferent to anything bullish, turning weak under free liquidation and short selling. July opened i;c higher, at 73U73Uc, advanced Irregularly to 73US738c, declined to 72Uc and closed at TSH'STrc. Receipts were comparatively light. Chicago received only 35 cars, 6 of which graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 219, against 367 last year, and Western primary markets 313.000 bushels, compared with 605,000 bushels the same day a year ago. Atlantic port clearances were equal in wheat and flour to 409.000 bushels. Rapid progress in planting and reports of increased acreage weakened corn. Liquidation and short selling was heavy. Buying against puts caused a slight rally near the end. Receipts. 137 cars. July opened U5Uc higher, at 344 340, declined to 34c and closed at 344i31Uc. Oats followed wheat and corn. Receipts were 294 cars. July started a shade higher at 24V4C sold off to 24c and closed at 243 24Hc. Heavy liquidation of July pork weakened provisions, but packers and local traders came to the rescue and most of the decline was recovered. July pork opened 24c lower, at 38.70. advanced to 38.75. declined to fi.V) and rallied to $3,624. at the close. Lard and ribs were glow and easier in sympathy with pork. Estimated receipts for Friday YTheat, 40 cars; corn, ISO cars; oats, 250 cars; hogs, 20,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows: Articles.
